Abstract: An anchor point (10) for a fastening element (30), such as a cable tie, includes a substantially flat anchor plate (12) and a resilient element (14) connected thereto, which in turn has at least two locking tongues (16, 17). The anchor plate has a substantially circular disc shape. The resilient element is preferably designed as a plastic loop in the shape of an omega and exerts its resilient action primarily in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the anchor plate. Via an opening in the anchor plate a fastening element/cable tie can be passed through the anchor plate and is deflected by the locking tongues or the resilient element so that it passes through a second opening again to the surface. By pulling on the cable tie, the locking tongues are spread apart by compression of the resilient element and are fixed in or behind the opening of a surface.

Abstract: A lightweight-construction fastener (10) having a one-piece clip body (20) made of plastic and a clip nut (40). The clip body has the basic shape of a clamp, having two opposite legs (22, 24) extending in the longitudinal direction and a cage (28) in which the clip nut is floatingly mounted. The clip nut in turn has a nut base (42) which is substantially planar. A main part (44) is structured on the nut base and has a cover surface (41) and a plurality of side walls (51, 51?) which extend between the nut base and the cover surface. The side walls of the main part preferably have a convex curvature and the cage has correspondingly designed concave walls. The sizing is such that the convex-concave surface pairs act as torque supports during use of the lightweight-construction fastener.

Abstract: A holding device (10) for holding a component (12), the holding device (10) being convertible from a component holding mode into a component release mode by magnetic force. The holding device (10) for holding the component (12) has a movable detent element (14), the position of which is not influenced by the magnetic force. A method for releasing a snap-in connection between a holding device (10) and a component (12) is also provided, having the following steps: generating a magnetic field in the vicinity of the holding device (10); and applying a force that moves the holding device (10) and the component (12) apart from each other to release the snap-in connection.

Abstract: An improved radome and an associated improved method for producing a radome has a radiating structure consisting of a passive radiating structure, preferably in the form of frequency-selective surfaces (FSS). The passive radiating structures are formed by (a) structured metal surfaces surrounded by metal-free regions, or (b) cut-outs in a metal film or metal layer. The passive radiating structures consist of a composite film comprising at least one plastics carrier layer and a metal film or layer attached thereto. The composite film is attached or glued onto the outer surface or outer skin of the radome.
