Abstract: Disclosed is a fastener (1) for application to a threaded stud (31), having a sleeve-like retaining element (2) with a cavity (5) extending in the direction of its longitudinal axis to accommodate the threaded stud (31) and at least one deformable clamping region that tends to assume a clamping position projecting into the cavity (5) and gripping the threaded stud (31), and having a flange (3) arranged at the forward end of the retaining element (2) in the direction of installation that can be pressed onto an item (32) to be fastened, wherein the flange (3) is arranged a distance away from the retaining element (2) and attached to the retaining element (1) by means of spring shackles (4).

Abstract: A fastener includes a sleeve-like clamping element having a cavity extending in the direction of its longitudinal axis which accommodates a threaded stud. At least one clamping region is deformable into the cavity forming at least one clamping ramp inclined toward the longitudinal axis on an outside of the clamping element. A clamping sleeve pushed onto the clamping element in an installed state grips around the clamping element. A clamping sleeve inner surface cooperates with the clamping ramp so the clamping region reaches a clamping position deformed into the cavity to hold the threaded stud. The clamping element has a forward end flange in an installation direction. Coupling elements and mating coupling elements arranged on the flange and a clamping sleeve end facing the flange interlock in the installed state, preventing rotation between the clamping sleeve and clamping element.

Abstract: A fastener for fastening a component having a mounting hole has an essentially U-shaped clamping region that at least partially grips around the component and has two opposing legs that are connected together as a single piece by a connecting region. The legs are provided with through holes that serve to accommodate a pin or stud that passes through the mounting hole of the component. A nut is attached to a first leg on the side facing away from the second leg such that the connection between the first leg and the nut can be released by a separating force acting on the nut.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening device for an elongated object, in particular a cable tree, having a holder (1) intended for attachment of the elongated object and an adjacency surface (5) for the elongated object, and having a fastening element (16) connectable to the holder (1) for fastening the holder (1) to a part. For connection of the holder (1) to the fastening element (16), a plug-in assemblable snap coupling is provided, closable by a force directed against the adjacency surface (5) of the holder (1).

Abstract: Described here is a fastener (1) to be applied to a threaded stud with a sleeve-like clamping element (2) that has a cavity (7) extending in the direction of its longitudinal axis to accommodate the threaded stud and at least one clamping region (10) that can deform into the cavity (7) and that forms at least one clamping ramp (14) inclined toward the longitudinal axis on the outside of the clamping element (2). A clamping sleeve (3) can be pushed onto the clamping element and in the installed state grips around the clamping element, wherein an inner surface of the clamping sleeve (3) works together with the clamping ramp (14) such that the clamping region (10) reaches a clamping position that is deformed into the cavity (7) and holds the threaded body. The clamping element (2) has, at its forward end in the direction of installation, a flange (5).
