Patent number: 11692649Abstract: A cable routing fastener includes a body and an arm extending therefrom, a head projecting from the body, a cover adjacent the arm so movement of the cover is temporarily restricted by the arm, and a cable connector. The body inserts into an aperture in a panel and positions the head and the cable connector adjacent the panel. The head includes an indicia element indicating an assembly status of the fastener, i.e., whether it is properly installed or not. The cover conceals the indicia element in a concealed mode, and moves relative to the head to an exposed mode so the indicia element is exposed for reading. The arm moves when the body is inserted so the arm no longer interferes with movement of the cover, so the cover can be moved by a user, transitioning from the concealed mode to the exposed mode. A related method of use is provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: A. Raymond et CieInventor: Julien Locatelli

Patent number: 11639760Abstract: An improved cable routing fastener is provided. The cable routing fastener includes a base portion having an integral torsion element and includes a clip, for example a fir-tree clip, integrally joined to the torsion element. The torsion element includes first and second torsion bars on opposing sides of the rotatable clip, such that clip is rotatable relative to the base portion from a first position to a second position in response to an applied torque. The clip extends laterally outward from the base portion in the first position and extends downward from the base portion in the second position. The base portion and the clip are co-molded in the first position as a unitary article, with the clip being manually rotatable into the second position for attachment to an object, for example a vehicle panel or a vehicle pillar.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: A.

Patent number: 11015742Abstract: The disclosed inventive concept provides a cable fastener assembly for securing a plurality of cables onto a stud. The cable fastener assembly includes a housing and a punch-nut for securing the housing onto the stud. The housing includes a base, a sidewall, and at least one attachment member extending from the sidewall. The base has an opening formed therein for receiving the stud and the sidewall includes at least one attachment member for securing a cable tie thereto. The punch-nut includes a base and an opening formed therein for receiving the stud. By providing interchangeable punch-nuts to be used with the housing, the disclosed inventive concept can accommodate studs having different shapes. Preferably, a pair of perpendicular passageways is formed within each attachment member. A cable tie may then be secured within each passageway for securing cables to the housing along different axes.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: A. Raymond et CieInventors: Julien Locatelli, James Nagle

Patent number: 10208879Abstract: The fluid connector assembly includes a connector body with an intermediate portion that extends between opposite end portions and has a first bore. The connector body has an elongated wall that projects outwardly from the intermediate portion and that surrounds a second bore which opens to the first bore. A flat tube, which is made of a second material that is different than the first material and has at least one fluid passage, is in fluid communication with the second bore of the connector body. The flat tube has generally flat side walls and is lockingly retained with the connector body by male and female locking structures that cooperate with one another.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: A. RAYMOND ET CIEInventors: Mitchell W. Hunt, Matthew D. Lutzke, Julien Locatelli, Manuel Martinez, Albert Raymond, Richard Geist, Scott McNab
