Patent number: 6757945Abstract: A mat fastener has male and female grommets made of resin material. The female grommet includes an outer tube portion to be inserted into a hole in a mat; and a concave flange at the outer periphery of one end of the outer tube portion. The male grommet includes an inner tube portion to be inserted into the outer tube portion; and a concave flange at the outer periphery of one end of the inner tube portion. The tube portions are coupled to each other with the flanges of the grommets contacting opposite side surfaces of the mat around the mat hole, so that the mat is sandwiched between concavities of the flanges.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2001Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Tomio Shibuya, Itsusi Kaseyama, Yoshinobu Fukutomi

Patent number: 6280130Abstract: A pin (11) is formed projecting upwardly integrally with a face side holder (10) and a slit (13) is formed at a side thereof. On a rear side of the face side holder (10), a stationary pinching portion (20) is provided substantially in parallel therewith and a movable pinching portion (23) and is provided substantially in parallel therewith through a hinge portion (22). Each pinching portion (20, 23) is arranged to have free ends (20a) and (23a) at each tip side and is possible to change from a state where they are mutually horizontal interposing the hinge portion (22) therebetween to a state where they open outwardly so as to separate the tip thereof. The movable pinching portion (23) is integrated with a pin fitting portion (27) which extends to an opposite direction to the pin (11). The pin fitting portion (27) fits into a slit (13) by bending at the hinge portion (22) and is engaged to be one body with the pin (11) by means of an engaging portion (28).Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2000Date of Patent: August 28, 2001Assignee: Emhart Inc.Inventors: Hirotaka Haraguchi, Tomio Shibuya
