  • Publication number: 20200049177
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clip for fastening a first element to a second element, in particular for the assembly of components for vehicles. The clip has a head with two wings extending from each other in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the clip and a tip. The clip also has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side extend from the head towards the tip in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the clip, and the first and the second side are interconnected through the tip and can be compressed such that they can be moved towards each other around the tip. At least one side has a section that is farther away from the longitudinal axis than another section, wherein at least one wing at the wing end has a supporting surface that extends at least in sections at an angle of less than 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the clip.

  • Patent number: 9453523
    Abstract: A cramping fastener device for assembling a part (7) to a support portion (18) is provided. The cramping fastener device includes a fastener clip which includes a deformable catch element that defines a cramping face (12). The catch element is designed to be pushed through the part and through the support portion and is designed to have a cramping face that is resiliently retractable into the clip. The cramping fastener device further includes a proper-assembly indicator (4) for checking that the clip is properly assembled in the cramping position. The proper-assembly indicator is in the form of a sort of stud that is constrained to retract under the effect of the cramping face retracting so as to be able to start being pushed into the clip.
