Abstract: A rotating pin clasp apparatus includes a base member with a cavity formed on the surface of the base member and a rod disposed in the cavity of the base member. The rod includes a recess and a pin utilized for fastening the rotating pin clasp apparatus, where a first end of the pin is rotatably attached to the rod at a pivot. The rod also includes a pin-retaining member for clasping a second end of the pin to the rod and a knob for rotating the rod in the cavity of the base member. A collar is formed on the base member and fitted around the recess of the rod for securing the rod to the base member and for permitting the rod to rotate in the cavity of the base member.

Abstract: In this method, in particular for manufacturing a piece of motor vehicle interior equipment comprising a main body (10) made of rigid plastic overmolded onto a coating (12) made of plastic, the coating (12) is manufactured, at least one orifice (32) is formed through the coating (12), a fixing insert (22) is pushed through the orifice (32), the insert is sealed (30, 36; 30, 70) to the coating, the fixing insert (22) is fixed to the coating, the coating (12) provided with fixing inserts (22) is placed in a mold, and the plastic of the main body (10) is overmolded onto the non-visible side of the coating (12), the solidified plastic immobilizing the insert.

Abstract: A one-piece or two-piece knotless suture anchor assembly for the attachment or reattachment or repair of tissue to a bone mass. The assembly allows for an endoscopic or open surgical procedure to take place without the requirement of tying a knot for reattachment of tissue to bone mass. In one embodiment, a spike member is inserted through tissue and then inserted into a dowel-like hollow anchoring sleeve which has been inserted into a bone mass. The spike member is securely fastened or attached to the anchoring sleeve with a ratcheting mechanism thereby pulling or adhering (attaching) the tissue to the bone mass.
