Patent number: 11661964Abstract: A fastener for coupling a first component to a mounting hole of a second component. The fastener includes a central body portion, a head portion, provided at the proximal end of the central body portion. The fastener has at least two resilient ribs, protruding radially outward from an outer surface of the central body portion. The fastener includes at least a first pair of diametrically opposed recessed surfaces, provided at the proximal end of the central body and extending axially between the head portion and a respective shoulder portion formed by each one of the first pair of recessed surfaces. The at least two resilient ribs extend along the outer surface of the central body portion in a direction along the central axis between the distal end and the proximal end, and axially past the respective shoulder portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Javier Arteta, Ivan Cipres, Francisco Cuervas, Josep Ventallo Sabater

Patent number: 11578800Abstract: A sealing plug (100) for a panel opening, the plug having an axis (132) and including a head portion (110) having a first diameter larger than of the panel opening and a leg portion (120) concentric to the head portion (110) and having a second diameter shorter than the first diameter, the leg includes at least two latches (130) extending radially towards the head portion (110), and wherein the passing of the leg portion (120) and the at least two latches (130) through the panel opening causes resilient deformation of each latch (130), such that each latch (130) deforms and recovers thereby causing the panel to be retained by the at least two latches (130) and between the at least two latches (130) and the head portion (110) of the plug (100).Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Josep Ventallo, Francisco Cuervas, Javier Arteta

Patent number: 7237995Abstract: A device, for attaching a panel to a support, incorporates a body with an elongated lower sector having a lower segment, an intermediate segment and an upper segment in which incuts are made to operatively engage and locate a retention bushing. The retention bushing has an annular head and alternated elongate and short legs that are configured to engage the lower and intermediate segments respectively when the retention bushing is at a lower position on the elongated lower sector, and configured so that the elongate legs are deflected outwardly by engagement with vertical ribs on the elongate lower sector while the short legs engage the upper segment, when the bushing is a high position on the elongate lower sector.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2005Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: ITW Espana, S.A.Inventors: Jesus Randez Perez, Josep Ventallo Sabater

Patent number: 7213378Abstract: A connection part between a panel and a support includes a body provided with an elongated segment that extends through an orifice made in the support. It incorporates an over-injected part made of a soft and compressible material on the body. The over-injected part has an absorption ring that envelopes a segment of the body and is in contact with a neck of retainer joined to the panel, thereby absorbing the lateral compressions resulting from positional misalignments due to manufacturing errors and expansions of the support and the panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2005Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: ITW Espana, S.A.Inventors: Jesus Randez Perez, Josep Ventallo Sabater

Publication number: 20050163587Abstract: Applicable for connecting a panel and a support, which may be a sector of a car body. It incorporates a body with an elongated lower sector having a lower segment, an intermediate segment and an upper segment in which incuts are made to couple a retention bushing. The retention bushing comprises an annular head from where extend inferiorly some elongated legs alternated with short legs that are coupled to the lower segment and intermediate segment at a lower position corresponding to the insertion of the bushing and the body through the orifice, and are also coupled to the intermediate segment and upper segment at a higher position in which the bushing is retained with respect to the support.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2005Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: ITW ESPANA, S.A.Inventors: Jesus Randez Perez, Josep Ventallo Sabater
