  • Patent number: 11221030
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding a head of a pin of a component, said device having a receiving space which defines an opening via which the head of the pin can be inserted; a spring element disposed in the receiving space; and a path limiter which is disposed in the receiving space. The spring element has a receptacle for the head of the pin of the component, and the straight line which connects the geometric center point of the opening to the geometric center point of the receptacle forms a reference line. A curved or bent receiving section of a spring arm of the spring element is provided as part of the receptacle. The receiving section has at least one distance point which is arranged furthest from the reference line than other points along the extension of the curved or bent receiving section.

  • Patent number: 10800371
    Abstract: A fastener for detachably joining a panel to a structure is provided. The fastener exhibits a first connector for joining the fastener with the structure, a second connector for joining the fastener with the panel, wherein the second connector is detachably fastened to the first connector in the normal operating state of the fastener, and a restraining band, whose first end is joined with the first connector, and whose second end is joined with the second connector, wherein at least a portion of the restraining band exhibits a bent shape in the normal operating state of the fastener, wherein a spacer is situated between the first connector and second connector, and a projection of the spacer protrudes into the space inside the bent portion of the restraining band in the normal operating state of the fastener.

  • Patent number: 10801536
    Abstract: The invention relates to a deformable body with a hole which is suitable for receiving an anti-creepage ring and a fastener, wherein the hole has a central axis and the hole is delimited by the deformable material which forms the deformable body, wherein the body comprises a deformable protruding ring which surrounds the hole and protrudes in the direction of the central axis and a projection which surrounds the hole and is arranged at a distance from the protruding the ring in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, and the ring protrudes beyond the projection in the direction of the central axis.

  • Patent number: 9816542
    Abstract: An anchoring device has an insert sleeve and an expanding rivet. The insert sleeve is anchorable in an insert recess of a support part via engagement tongues. In a final assembly configuration, spreading arms of the expansion rivet are situated in arm clearances of the insert sleeve by the action of an expansion shank of a rivet pin, and are engaged with retaining edges of the insert sleeve. In this manner, the mounting part is removably connected to the support part with the expansion shank removable from the rivet body by releasing the spreading arms from the insert sleeve in order to release the connection.

  • Patent number: 7780137
    Abstract: A device for fastening a rectangular sensor to a support part has a base plate (2) in which a receiving recess (3) is made. Guide walls (6, 7) are integrally formed on mutually opposite edge sides (4, 5) of the receiving recess (3), said guide walls extending between two corner regions (18, 20; 19, 21) of the receiving recess (3), which corner regions end an edge side (4, 5). Furthermore, stop parts (10, 11) which are shorter than the length of the guide walls (6, 7) are integrally formed on the other edge sides (8, 9), in each case in the central region thereof, the stop parts each having at least one stop section (26) oriented at right angles to the base plate (2), wherein the guide sections (22) and the stop sections (26) bear against a wall of the sensor when the sensor is fitted. As a result, even sensors of relatively large dimensions can be fastened to the support part in a stable and accurately fitting manner with relatively little expenditure on material.
