| 20140201959 | Component Connection and a Method for Connecting Two Components - A component connection arrangement and a method of connecting components is provided in which a first component having a projecting male fixing element is connected to a second component in a friction-locking manner by a sleeve-like or cap-like clip element snapped on the male fixing element, with the clip element being clamped between the male fixing element and a female fixing element provided on or in the second component. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20140250642 | ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF WEIGHT SENSOR FOR SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION - An attachment structure of a weight sensor for seat occupant detection includes an insert member extending from a skin member of a seat portion into a concave groove provided on a pad member of the seat portion, and at least one connection member connected to an end part of the insert member inside the concave groove. An opening part is provided in the insert member, and the weight sensor inserted in the insert member through an opening of the opening part across the concave groove. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20140259565 | VIBRATION-PROOF CLAMP - A vibration-proof clamp includes a clamp main body with a holding portion for holding a pipe material, and having a mounting hole therein; a vibration-proof member mounted in the mounting hole, and having therein a fitting hole with a hole shaft corresponding to the mounting hole, and a concave groove provided by notching a peripheral edge of the fitting hole; and a clip including a cylindrical neck portion inserted into the fitting hole, a fixation rib inserted through the concave groove, and an elastic claw projected on an outer peripheral face of the neck portion and retractable inward in a radial direction. The neck portion is inserted into the fitting hole, the elastic claw retracts in a radial direction, and the fixation rib passes through the concave groove, then, the clip is relatively rotated relative to the vibration-proof member, so that the elastic claw fits into the concave groove. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150020353 | GRILLE SECURING DEVICE - The present disclosure is directed to devices for securing grilles or decorative architectural elements. The present disclosure is also directed to devices that secure a grille to a frame such as a suspended or dropped ceiling grid system. | 01-22-2015 |
| 20150082583 | MANUFACTURE AND METHOD FOR FORMING STRUCTURES AND THE STRUCTURES RESULTING THEREFROM - A clip for assembling corners of hollow members such as the rails and stiles of an extruded aluminum door. The clip has an L shape and may feature a double L shape. A portion inserts into the hollow of a first member and is attached thereto. Another portion extends into the other hollow member for attachment thereto to form a sturdy joint without welding. Pairs of clips may be used at each corner. | 03-26-2015 |
| 20160096463 | CLIP FOR FIXING MAT OF VEHICLE CARPET - A clip for fixing a mat of a carpet of a vehicle that prevents the clip once mounted to a carpet from being detached to improve the coupling force, by fixing the clip to the carpet in the form of a cable tie. In particular, the clip for fixing a mat of a carpet of a vehicle further enhances the coupling force of fixing the clip to the carpet to prevent weakening of the coupling force of the clip or detachment of the clip even when an external force is applied to the carpet, by forming a tongue section to further enhance the coupling force of the clip while being extended as the carpet is pressed on the mat. | 04-07-2016 |
