Abstract: Described is a compression-limiting fastener assembly for attaching a first component having a first opening relative to a second component having a second opening. The compression-limiting fastener assembly includes a male fastener, a retainer clip, and a female fastener. The male fastener includes a head and a shank. The retainer clip includes a recessed pocket with a fastener hole formed therein. The retainer clip includes a body portion having a pair of generally parallel legs that are resiliently connected to define a channel. The recessed pocket maintains a first distance (D1) between the pair of generally parallel legs. The retainer clip engages the first component via the first opening and the channel. The female fastener includes a bore to receive the shank is via the fastener hole and the second opening.

Abstract: A first example box nut retainer includes a support, a fastener sleeve, and a resilient arm. The fastener sleeve defines an opening and extends downwardly from the support. The resilient arm extends upwardly and outwardly relative to the fastener sleeve toward the support.

Abstract: A battery terminal includes a post clamp for connecting to a battery post. The post clamp includes a post connector having a first connector end and a second connector end with an opening therebetween. The post connector is configured to substantially enclose a first surface of the battery post. A mounting clamp is provided for reducing the opening between the first connector end and the second connector end. A fastener is disposed vertically above the mounting clamp and the post connector. The fastener is configured to be provided vertically above the second surface of the battery post for fastening the mounting clamp to the post clamp.

Abstract: Disclosed are fastening systems for coupling a first component to stud, shaft, or the like via a sleeve assembly. The fastening system comprising an upper sleeve component, a lower sleeve component, and a nut. The upper sleeve component defines an upper sleeve opening, while the lower sleeve component defines a lower sleeve opening. The lower sleeve component comprises one or more flexible tabs configured to engage the upper sleeve component via the component opening. The nut is configured to pass through a sleeve opening to engage the stud. The sleeve opening is defined by the upper sleeve opening and the lower sleeve opening.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for retaining system coupling a first panel to a second panel via a retainer. The retainer comprises a body portion, a pair of flanges, a plurality of wings, and one or more retaining tabs. The body portion may employed a pair of legs that are spaced apart and flexibly connected to one another at a first end to define a channel. The channel is configured to receive and/or engage a bezel associated with the first panel. The pair of flanges are connected to and extends outwardly from a second end of its respective leg. The plurality of wings are coupled to the pair of legs and canted outwardly from the body portion. The plurality of wings are configured to engaged, for example, a retaining ledge of the second panel when the bezel is inserted in the channel. The one or more retaining tabs extending inwardly from one of the pair of legs and engage the bezel.

Abstract: A fastening clip is configured to securely couple a first component to a second component. The fastening clip includes a first frame connected to an opposed second frame by an arcuate transition beam. Each of the first and second frames includes an exterior contact finger that is configured to securely abut into a first outer surface of the first component around at least a portion of a first opening formed through the first component, an interior contact finger that is configured to extend into the first opening, and a contact prong that is configured to abut into a second outer surface of the first component.
