  • Publication number: 20100243822
    Abstract: A power supply cable outlet angle adjustment structure aims to overcome shortcomings of the conventional power supply that cannot adjust cable outlet angle to mate connecting electronic devices. The power supply has an opening on a body to allow a power cable to be threaded through and a pivotal turnable adjustment member connected to the opening. The adjustment member has a cable outlet to allow the power cable to be drawn out. The power cable can be pivotally turned synchronously with the adjustment member at a selected outlet angle to mate different installing locations of the electronic devices to facilitate connection between them.

  • Publication number: 20090256028
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a two-part fastening arrangement for a surface element that is composed of a base element and a coupling element. The base element is constructed two-sided with a seat on its first side and a connecting pin projecting from its second side, with which a snap connection to the coupling element can be produced. The coupling element is also constructed two-sided with a seat on its first side and a pin receiver for the connecting pin of the base element on its second side, while the coupling element has an opening in which the pin receiver is resiliently arranged.

  • Publication number: 20080118302
    Abstract: A vibration-decoupling coupling element made of an elastically deformable female part and a male part is described. The female part has a fastening area, a decoupling area and a receiving area. The decoupling area is made up of a wall portion expanding away from the fastening area and shaped on the fastening area, a sleeve-shaped wall portion shaped on the receiving area and an annular shoulder wall portion connecting both these wall portions together. The male part has a fastening area and an insertion area. The insertion area is adjusted for the receiving area of the female part in order to form a plug-in connection in the assembled state of the coupling element.

  • Publication number: 20070031185
    Abstract: A plug-in coupling for releasably connecting a first structural member and a second structural member comprises a coupling member and a ball stud. The coupling member has a ball socket, a bridging portion, and a sleeve-like retaining portion. The bridging portion 18 is integrally molded to a closed end of the ball socket, and the retaining portion is integrally molded to the bridging portion such that it radially circumscribes the ball socket in spaced relationship thereto and is securable to the first structural member. The ball stud is secured to the second structural member and has a spherical head into which the ball socket can be snapped to lock the plug-in coupling.

  • Patent number: 7168879
    Abstract: A plug-in coupling for removably interconnecting a first structural member and a second structural member comprises a resiliently deformable female coupling part adapted to be inserted into a socket at the first structural member such that it is retained therein. The female coupling part comprises a ball-shaped cup, an intermediate annular wall integral with said ball-shaped cup and serving as a guide portion, and a tubular external wall integral with said annular intermediate wall. The external wall surrounds at least a part of the ball-shaped cup in spaced relation thereto and engages a peripheral wall of the socket when the female coupling part is inserted into the socket. A male coupling part comprises a ball-shaped head and a fixing portion for securing the male coupling part to the second structural member. The intermediate annular wall of the female coupling part is of an undulated shape at least in a certain area thereof.
