  • Publication number: 20210138973
    Abstract: A device for securing one or more units includes a first component and a second component configured to couple to the first component. The first component includes a body that has an elongated shape and a head that is connected to an upper longitudinal end of the body. The head includes a part that is configured to be rotationally engaged by a tool. The first component also includes a retainer at a lower longitudinal end of the body. The first component further includes an elastic latch formed in a thickness of the body. The elastic latch includes a tab that has an upper end connected to the body and a free lower end. The elastic latch is configured to cooperate with complementary means of one or both of the second component or the one or more units.

  • Patent number: 10933817
    Abstract: A device for securing a first unit to a second unit includes a first component having a body and a head. The body is configured to be inserted in at least one of a first orifice of the first unit and a second orifice of the second unit. The first component includes a retainer at a lower longitudinal end of the body. A second component is configured to couple to the first component. At least one of the first and second components includes at least one cam surface and the other of the first and second components includes at least one follower configured to cooperate with the at least one cam surface, and to transform a rotational movement of the first component into a longitudinal translation movement of the first component in relation to the second component so that the retainer bears on the lower surface of the second unit.

  • Publication number: 20190118731
    Abstract: A device for securing a first unit to a second unit includes a first component (122) having a body (234) and a head (224). The body has an elongated shape and is configured to be inserted in at least one of a first orifice of the first unit and a second orifice of the second unit. The head is to an upper longitudinal end of the body and includes a part (226) that is configured to be rotationally engaged by a tool. The first component also includes a retainer (130) at a lower longitudinal end of the body. The retainer is configured to bear against a lower surface of the second unit. A second component is configured to couple to the first component.

  • Patent number: 7793381
    Abstract: A blade-mountable windshield wiper spray device including a body formed by a first upper member, arranged in use distant from the blade and a second lower member, arranged in use in contact with the support part of the blade; the first member integrally in one piece carries a plurality of fluid-dynamic sprayers and snapping fastening means to the blade so that the second member is sandwiched in use between the first member and the blade, closing respective internal cup-shaped cavities open towards the second member of the first member; the first and the second members reciprocally and fluid-tightly couple so that the second member defines along with the internal cavities of the first member respective feeding chambers of the sprayers.

  • Patent number: 7559511
    Abstract: A clamp-type retention element for an axisymmetrical component for vehicles, such as a cable or a tube for oil or fuel, has an axis of symmetry; the retention element has at least one through seat, which has an insertion opening and is designed to house a portion of the axisymmetrical component, a snap-action closing element of the insertion opening, hooking elements designed to co-operate with a support, elastic elements designed to co-operate with the portion of the axisymmetrical component within the seat, and a guide element of the portion of the axisyrumetrical component within the seat for identifying a housing position of the portion of the axisymmetrical component under the action of the elastic elements. The elastic elements are flexible in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of symmetry when the portion of the axisymmetrical component is in the housing position.

  • Patent number: 7204432
    Abstract: A window-washer sprayer is configured to provide an orientable jet by substitution of a cylindrical nipple installed within a seat of an enbloc sprayer body. The sprayer body defines the seat, an internal duct for passage of a detergent fluid, and a side window made in a position corresponding to the seat and partially occupied in use by the cylindrical nipple. The internal duct, the seat, and the nipple have a geometry such that when a flow of detergent fluid is fed into the internal duct it splits by fluid-dynamic effect into a number of separate flows that simultaneously reach the seat and are expelled through a through radial slit or a plurality of through radial holes selectively made in the cylindrical nipple in a position corresponding to the side window of the sprayer body.
