  • Patent number: 11519437
    Abstract: Disclosed is a clip for fastening a first element to a second element, wherein the clip has a head, a tip, a first clip side, and a second clip side. The first clip side extends from the head along a longitudinal axis in the direction of the tip, and the second clip side extends from the head along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the tip and has a clip surface protruding from the first clip side. The clip surface can be moved, under the tension of a spring, from a first position into a position located closer to the longitudinal axis than the first position. The head surface merges into a first side wall via a first bending section which is bent around a first bending axis, wherein the first bending axis is at an angle of >0° to <180° to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 9453523
    Abstract: A cramping fastener device for assembling a part (7) to a support portion (18) is provided. The cramping fastener device includes a fastener clip which includes a deformable catch element that defines a cramping face (12). The catch element is designed to be pushed through the part and through the support portion and is designed to have a cramping face that is resiliently retractable into the clip. The cramping fastener device further includes a proper-assembly indicator (4) for checking that the clip is properly assembled in the cramping position. The proper-assembly indicator is in the form of a sort of stud that is constrained to retract under the effect of the cramping face retracting so as to be able to start being pushed into the clip.
