Abstract: A second metal mold 15 has a through hole 31 that extends in the movement direction of the second metal mold 15. A first metal mold 14 has an internal threaded portion 34 that extends on a common line with the through hole 31 and has an opening at the surface of the first metal mold 14 facing the second metal mold 15. A bolt 39 formed by a shaft 37 and a head 38 is employed. The shaft 37 is passed through the through hole 31 in such a manner that the head 38 is arranged at the opposite side to the first metal mold 14 with respect to the second metal mold 15, and the distal end of the shaft 37 is located at the same side as the first metal mold 14 with respect to the second metal mold 15. When the second metal mold 15 is held in contact with the first metal mold 14, the bolt 39 is rotated by an electric motor 45 through the head 38. In this manner, an external thread 41, which is formed at the distal end of the shaft 37, is threaded to the internal threads 36 of the internal threaded portion 34.

Abstract: A fastener for a pipe is able to prevent an end of a stud to which the fastener is attached from puncturing a fuel tank or breaking other parts of a car body and causing the fuel tank to rupture when a collision occurs. The fastener comprises a fastener main body and a protective member. The fastener main body has a base, pipe fastening portions connected to the base, and a stud engaging portion connected to at least one of the base and the pipe fastening portions to engage a stud extending from a support. The stud engaging portion has a stud receiving hole for receiving the stud. A protective member is attached to at least one of the stud engaging portion and the base to cover the end of a stud in the stud receiving hole and has sufficient rigidity to prevent the end of the stud from protruding out of the stud receiving hole.

Abstract: A fastener, for use with a sheet-shaped member, comprises a tubular shank, a plurality of holding pieces extending outward from a first end of the shank, a flange extending outward from a second end of the shank, and a plurality of stud-engagement pawls extending into the interior of the shank. The shank has a length less than that of a stem of a stud fixed to a mounting member with which the fastener is to be engaged. When the stud is fully inserted into the tubular shank, the sheet-shaped member is fastened to the stud and the stud stem protrudes from a surface of the sheet-shaped member. The protruding portion of the stem allows an auxiliary member to be mounted thereto.

The anchor engaging portion 9 is molded in an anchor shape and comprises a rigid shank 15 extending downwards perpendicularly from the base 6. A pair of flexible legs 17 extend from the end of the shank towards the base and bend away from the shank for engaging an edge of a mounting hole in a support. The fastener can be manufactured by a simple die structure without a slide.

Abstract: A fastener is capable of fastening a flexible elongated member to a support without the need of a hinge, and can be formed with a small, simple die having a two-surface configuration. In a fastener 1, a long, slender main holder 6 of a length commensurate with the support, two auxiliary holders 7 which extend transversely from opposite ends of the main holder, and engagement arms 9 which form extensions, respectively, from the auxiliary holders, and are attached to the support so as to straddle the support, are formed integrally of synthetic resin. In the main holder 6 and the auxiliary holders 7, are provided guides 13 to 15 which form a channel having a U-shaped cross section which can accommodate the elongated member 2 by the latter being pushed therein. Elastic pawls 17 to 19 can retract so that accommodation is possible when the elongated member is pushed into the channel, and then prevent the elongated member from slipping out from the channel.

Abstract: A fastener for a pipe or the like, having a stud engagement portion through which an elongated article such as a pipe held by the fastener is mounted on a workpiece such as an automobile body. The fastener 1 comprises a base portion 6, and a support portion 14 for supporting a stud engagement portion 10. The support portion 14 is provided on the base portion outside the stud engagement portion 10. A thin connection portion 25 is provided between the support portion and the stud engagement portion in the vicinity of an inlet 15 of a stud receiving hole 11 of the stud engagement portion. The thin connection portion 25 is formed to connect the entire outer circumference of the stud engagement portion to the support portion. The stud engagement portion 10 is connected to the support portion 14 only by the thin connection portion 25.
