Abstract: An assembly for facilitating feeding an animal and tracking a feeding schedule of the animal includes a scoop, a base member, and a temporal display. The scoop includes a handle and a receptacle. The base member is configured to receive the scoop. The temporal display is attached to one of the scoop or the base member and displays a first temporal message when the scoop is in a first orientation relative to the base member and a second temporal message when the scoop is manipulated from the first orientation to a second orientation relative to the base member.

Abstract: A fastening clip assembly is configured to be selectively connected and disconnected from a component. The fastening clip assembly may include a main body including a pin having a nose and at least one clip extending from a portion of the pin. A retaining sleeve receives and removably retains the pin. The retaining sleeve may include a tube defining a channel that receives the nose, and at least one wing having a locking head. The wing(s) inwardly deflects when the fastening clip assembly is inserted into an attachment hole of the component. The wing(s) is inwardly deflected by the clip(s) when the fastening clip assembly is removed from the attachment hole of the component.

Abstract: A fastener assembly may include a pin including a central shaft connected to a distal tip, and a grommet including at least one leg. The pin and the grommet are configured to be positioned in an expanded state in which the fastener assembly securely fastens to the component, and a retracted state in which the leg(s) is drawn toward the central shaft to reduce an axial envelope of the leg(s).

Abstract: A re-usable push-in fastener includes a fastener grommet including a plurality of deflectable legs and a fastener pin which is inserted into the fastener grommet. The grommet and pin have a pre-installation relative position in which the pin is held in the grommet, with the legs of the grommet in relaxed positions. A full installation relative position for the grommet and pin includes the pin urging the legs outwardly against the surface of a hole in an object in which the grommet is installed.

Abstract: A clip assembly is configured to securely connect a tubular member to a structure. The clip assembly may include a base connected to first and second lateral walls, and a tube cradle connected to the base and the lateral walls. The tube cradle defines a tube-receiving channel configured to receive the tubular member. First and second tube-retaining locking arms are configured to securely retain the tubular member within the tube-receiving channel. The first and second tube-retaining locking arms are configured to flex toward the first and second lateral walls, respectively, as the tubular member is inserted into the tube-receiving channel. The first and second tube-retaining locking arms securely connect to the first and second lateral walls, respectively, when the tubular member is received within the tube-receiving channel to securely retain the tubular member within the tube-receiving channel.
