Abstract: A multifunctional adaptor (10) for connecting at least one vehicle component to a vehicle support member (120) includes a body (30) having a base (50) and a shaft (70) that extends from the base (50). The base (50) terminates at a first axial end surface (52) and the shaft (70) terminates at a second axial end surface (80). A first passage (42) extends from the first axial end surface (52) towards the second axial end surface (80) for receiving a first fastener (100) to secure the adaptor (10) to the support member (120). A second passage (44) extends from the second axial end surface (80) towards the first axial end surface (52) for receiving a second fastener (104) to secure a first vehicle component to the adaptor. A third passage (90) extends transverse to the first passage (42) and the second passage (44) and entirely through the body (30) for receiving a third fastener (106) to secure a second component to the adaptor (10).

Abstract: A retainer (10) holds elongated members (12), such as hoses, pipes, wiring, etc, has a first arm (30) which extends from one side portion (24) of a base (20) and a second arm (32) which extends from another side portion (26) of the base. The arms (30 and 32) have end portions (46 and 50) which are spaced apart from each other when an elongated member (12) extends through an opening (14) in the base (20) and is disposed in engagement with a connector or bottom portion (22) of the base. At least one of the end portions of one of the arms (30 and 32) is movable away from the connector portion (22) of the base (20), under the influence of force transmitted from the elongated member (12), to effect engagement of the end portion (46) of one of the arms (30) with an opening (76) formed in the other arm.
