  • Publication number: 20260029007
    Abstract: A fastener assembly to attach a first part to a second part through a hole in the second part. The assembly includes a fastener that fits into the hole and a collar connected to the fastener. The collar has two sides, and from one side, two upper verification arms extend. Two lower verification arms extend from the fastener. Both sets of arms can bend when the fastener is inserted. When the fastener is fully inserted, snap features on the ends of the lower arms are designed to snap into matching cut-out features on the ends of the upper arms. This snapping action gives the user an audible feedback to indicate that the fastener is in the right position.
