Patent number: 11549542Abstract: A fastening arrangement including a grommet, which is configured as a substantially cylindrical sleeve with a head part, with a hollow-cylindrical shaft and with a conical tip, and also a fastener and a nut, for example made of plastic, which is fitted on the first threaded portion of the fastener. The fastener has two threaded portions, wherein one threaded portion is configured as a right-hand thread and the other threaded portion is configured as a left-hand thread (or vice versa). Moreover, the invention comprises a mounting method for such a fastening arrangement, in which the setting operation (anchoring of the fastener, adjustment of the sheath) can be managed in one step without changing the driving direction of the setting tool.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: SFS intec Holding AGInventors: Daniel Gasser, Thomas Heinzmann

Patent number: 10908070Abstract: The invention relates to a metrology device for determining the quality of a hygroscopic material. The metrology device includes a frame, a support element, two tips that can move in translation with respect to the frame, means for measuring a penetration effort of each tip as a function of a force applied to each tip, means for measuring an electrical resistivity between the ends of the two tips, which means are able to measure an electrical resistivity of the hygroscopic material when the two tips are inserted into the hygroscopic material, and means for measuring a penetration effort of the support element as a function of a force applied to the support element in order to achieve a predetermined fixing position. The support element is adapted to penetrate into the hygroscopic material so as to fix the frame to the hygroscopic material.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: TECSANInventors: Jean-Luc Sandoz, Yann Benoit, Jean-Daniel Gasser
