Abstract: A fastening element for holding onto a stud, the fastening element having a body extending along an axis and including a wall of substantially uniform thickness that partially defines an axially extending through hole; a sprue located only at a single axial injection end of the wall; and wherein the fastening element is formed of an injection molded liquid crystal polymer material that flowed into the body via the sprue.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for fastening a retainer of an airbag, in particular of a window bag, to a body of a motor vehicle. The method for fastening including the steps of: arranging the retainer on the body by inserting a hollow pin in a corresponding bodyshell opening; positioning a tool on the retainer; and pressing a pin into an opening of the hollow pin to radially expand the hollow pin, and thereby securing the hollow pin in the corresponding bodyshell opening.

Abstract: A fastening assembly for attaching and accurate positioning of a first workpiece, which defines a first main axis, on a second workpiece, which defines a second main axis and includes an anchor secured on a supporting surface of the second workpiece. The fastening assembly comprises a first member including a fastening portion for holding the first workpiece; a second member including a receptacle for the anchor; and wherein the first member and the second member are movable relative to each other in order to move the fastening portion toward or away from the supporting surface of the second member.

Abstract: A fastening device for the airbag, in particular a window airbag, is provided, having a retainer to which the airbag can be fastened and that has an opening through which a mounting stud can be passed. Fastened to the retainer is a slide element that can be slid from an open position into a fastened position and the stud is captured in the opening by the slide in the fastened position.

Abstract: An airbag installation fastener includes first and second fastener members connected by a hinge member. The first and second fastener members rotate from a fastener open condition to engage each other in a fastener closed position. The fastener closed position provides for an air bag member positioned between the first and second fastener members. The first and second fastener members have an aperture receiving a vehicle connected stud to support both the airbag installation fastener and the air bag member from the stud. An arm extending from the second fastener member rotates with respect to the second fastener member. The arm extends from the second fastener member in the fastener closed condition and both engages the second fastener member and abuts the stud to visually indicate a fastener completed installation condition.

Abstract: A fastening arrangement (10) is proposed, with a fastening part (12) to be secured to an object (16), the fastening part being made of plastic and containing at least two through holes (50), into each of which a blind rivet member (14) is inserted, the blind rivet members (14) being insertable in location holes in the object (16) which are at a predetermined spacing (58) from each other. The through holes (50) each have a retaining portion (60) and an adjoining, widening-out portion (62) which are constructed so that the blind rivet members (14) are pre-mounted captive on the fastening part (12) and mounted so that they can swivel, for adaptation to the spacing (58) of the location holes in the object (16) (FIG. 1).
