Abstract: Two components are attached together by a fastening device that permits three dimensional variation between the attachment points of the two component parts. The fastening device includes a bracket having a cylindrical body for insertion into the attachment opening of a first part and a leg for attachment to a second part. Rotation of the bracket about the cylindrical body provides two dimensions of adjustment. Sliding of the first part over the cylindrical body provides a third dimension of adjustment.

Abstract: A tail lamp assembly hinged to a support housing secured to the rear of a vehicle and adapted to be pivoted outwardly from the support housing by spring means carried by the support housing.

Abstract: A stud fastener for attaching one body member to the irregular surface of a second body member so that the axis of the stud fastener is not obliquely cocked with respect to the plane of the second body member. The stud fastener has an annular collar with struck-out contact portions thereon which remain connected to the collar by a reduced area of contact to provide a yieldable connection with the second surface, permitting movement of the contacts toward the plane of the collar as a nut fastener brings the collar against the irregular surface of the second body member. In a preferred embodiment, three pads or contacts are formed and when all three have engaged the second surface, the nut fastener is torqued out so that the stud is solidly secured to the second surface without cocking of its axis with respect to the plane of the second surface.
