Patent number: 10851827Abstract: A vehicle component fastener for fastening a first component to a second component of a vehicle, including a first part having a pin socket for receiving a head of a pin of the second component, and a second part having a fastening structure for fastening of the first component. The first part and the second part are connected to each other via a preassembly locking device in a preassembly position from which axial displacement into a final assembly position can occur. The preassembly locking device is releasable by introduction of the head of the ball pin or T pin into the pin socket such that the axial displacement into the final assembly position a) can be carried out with less effort than when the head of the ball pin or T pin is not introduced into the pin socket, or b) can be carried out at all.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.Inventors: Marina Bohl, Thiemo Ammann, Markus Elsner

Patent number: 9004417Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening device (10) for at least one cable (44), having an edge clip part (12) for fitting the fastening device (10) to an edge (28) of a base part (26). A holding device (30) for at least one cable strap (40) surrounds at least one cable (44). The holding device (30) includes fastening sections (38) that constitute a mount for the cable strap (40) in three directions of cable strap orientation orthogonal to each other, so that a cable strap (40) can be fastened to the base part (26) selectively oriented in one of the three directions of cable strap orientation.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: TRW Automotive Electronics & Components GmbHInventors: Markus Elsner, Juergen Hofmann, Vitali Leidner

Patent number: 8950043Abstract: A connecting assembly (10) for fastening a mount-on part (12) to a carrier part (14), having a clip (16) which includes a deformable locking section (18) for fastening the clip (16) to the carrier part (14), and a separate locking pin (20) which is adapted to be received by the clip (16) by a movement in a mounting direction (22) along a mounting axis (A), the clip (16) and the locking pin (20) including cooperating latching members (24, 26) which form snap connections in a preassembly position and a locking position to fix the locking pin (20) axially on the clip (16). In the preassembly position the locking pin (20) and the clip (16) form a preassembled connecting assembly which is insertable into mounting openings (28, 30) of the mount-on part (12) and of the carrier part (14) by a movement along the mounting axis (A) and is movable to a fastening position.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2010Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: TRW Automotive Electronics & Components GmbHInventors: Juergen Hofmann, Markus Elsner, Hubert Loewe
