Patent number: 8038167Abstract: A fastener system for use with an air bag includes a fastener having a rounded base having a flat portion, and first and second arms oriented transverse to the flat portion. A first set of engagement devices is connected proximate the rounded base. A second set of engagement devices is connected spatially separated from both the first set and the rounded base. A vehicle component has a dog-house. The rounded base is received and engaged in a dog-house cavity connecting the fastener and vehicle component. The vehicle component displaces upon air bag deployment from a first engagement position having the first engagement device set engaged with a vehicle body panel, to a second engagement position having the second engagement device set engaged with the vehicle body panel. A second fastener sliding part allows telescopic extension of the vehicle component.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Jeffrey A. Slobodecki, Lynn M. Stanton, Jacob A. Siudym, II, Daniel J. Lubera, Matthew L. Kosiara

Publication number: 20110225778Abstract: A fastener with a base part and a pair of arms connected to the base part. The base part includes a wide portion and a body portion which is narrower than the wide portion and the body portion has a first end at the wide portion and extends from the wide portion and terminates at a second end. The second end of the body part includes an insertion opening, the arms including an insertion portion which is inserted into the insertion opening and connect the arms to the body portion. The arms also an angled portion, the angled portion extending at an angle from the insertion portion, towards the wide portion and outwardly from the body portion. The arms additionally include a concave portion adjacent to the angled portion and further extending toward the wide portion, a peak being defined between the angled portion and the concave portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2010Publication date: September 22, 2011Applicant: NEWFREY LLCInventors: Daniel J.

Patent number: 7320157Abstract: A resilient clip with a plurality of twisted wings for engaging a first structure. The twisted wings provide the clip with a low ratio of insertion force to pull-out force, rendering the clip relatively easy to install yet difficult to pull out. In one embodiment, the resilient clip includes at least three wing members that cooperate to prevent the resilient clip from rotating relative to the first structure. In another embodiment, the resilient clip includes an engagement portion having a plurality of teeth for engaging a tab formed into a second structure. The teeth of the engagement portion engage the tab, permitting the resilient clip to be coupled to the second structure. When the resilient clip is engaged to the first structure, the teeth of the engagement portion cannot disengage the tab, rendering the resilient clip non-removably coupling the resilient clip to the first and second structures.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2006Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Daniel J Lubera, Jacob A Siudym, II, Robert Osterland
