Abstract: The invention relates to an attachment device with a fastener, a first supporting disk and a second supporting disk, wherein the fastener has a head with a head contact surface and a pin extending out along a longitudinal axis, wherein the pin has an attachment end with a contact surface that is opposite the head contact surface. The first supporting disk has a suitably large opening to permit the pin to pass through the opening, and has a wedge-shaped section. The second supporting disk has a suitably large opening to permit the pin to pass through the opening and to permit the second supporting disk to turn relative to the fastener about the longitudinal axis of the pin. The second supporting disk is in contact with the wedge-shaped section and moves along the surface of the wedge-shaped section, when the second supporting disk and the fastener turn relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the pin.

Abstract: A self-locking push-on clip fastener for securing two components together is disclosed. The clip fastener includes a u-shaped clip body that includes upper and lower legs and a curved end that connects the legs. The clip body has an open end into which the component to be attached is inserted. The legs are movable between an initial, spaced apart arrangement in which the component may be inserted into the clip body, to a final component-engaging position in which the component is captured between the legs. A slidably movable u-shaped trigger is attached to the clip body. A trigger-guiding channel is formed on the inner wall of one or both of the legs of the clip body. The trigger is slidably movable in the channel. An interlock system comprising first and second windows is formed in one of the legs of the clip body and a flange extending from the trigger.

Abstract: The Invention relates to a device (1, 101, 201) for restraining a component (11, 111, 211), wherein the device has a carrier part (2, 102, 202) and a clip part (3, 103, 203), and the clip part (3, 103, 203 is connected to the carrier part (2, 102, 202), and the clip part (3, 103, 203) has at least one clip surface (7, 107, 207), which is connected to an engagement section (9, 109, 209) of the clip part (3, 103, 203), wherein the engagement section (9, 109, 209) extends away from the carrier part (2, 102, 202) in the direction of a central axis (M), and wherein the clip surface (7, 107, 207) at least essentially faces the carrier part, wherein it is provided that the engagement section (9, 109, 209) is movable in the direction of the central axis (M) relative to the carrier part (2, 102, 202), and a deflection surface (14, 214) is formed on the engagement section (9, 209) and is aligned at an angle to the central axis (M), wherein the deflection surface (14, 214) contacts a protrusion on the carrier part (2, 2

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for retaining a component, wherein the device comprises a carrier part and a clip part, the clip part being connected to the carrier part and the clip part including at least one clip surface that is connected to an engaging portion of the clip part, wherein the engaging portion extends in the direction of a central axis away from the carrier part and the clip surface at least largely points toward the carrier part. It is provided that the engaging portion comprises a fulcrum that is located between the clip surface and the carrier part such that the clip surface moves laterally toward the central axis when a portion of the engaging portion, which is located between the fulcrum and the carrier part, is moved laterally away from the central axis.

Abstract: A self-reinforcing clip for securing a panel to a hole. The self-reinforcing clip comprises a first support member and a second support member each disposed in spaced relationship with one another and defining a gap therebetween. Each of the support members have a body portion and a flange portion. At least one tooth extends outwardly from at least one of the body portions for engaging an inner wall of the hole. At least one of the support members defines a contact surface. Further, at least one cross-over member is coupled to at least one of the support members and extends across the gap past the body portion of the other support member in alignment with the contact surface for engaging the contact surface for inhibiting movement of the support members toward one another when upward forces attempt to pull the clip from the hole.
