A device for fastening the abutment of a bowden cable on a constructional element in which a T-bolt is fastened on the constructional element, a fastening tab is provided on the abutment the fastening tab has a keyhole-like recess, the recess has a greater opening for the passage of the head of the T-bolt and a smaller opening which is somewhat greater in diameter than the diameter of the shank of the T-bolt, and a collar for supporting the head of the T-bolt is provided round the small opening; when the T-bolt is introduced with its shank into the smaller opening of the recess and the head of the T-bolt rests on the collar. The abutment is secured on the constructional element.

A plastics push button for fastening an article such as trim strip or body panel to a motor body using weld studs attached to the surface of the motor body comprises a large circular retaining head at one end of a short, hollow cylindrical stem and a circular skirt at or near the other end of the stem, the diameter of the skirt being substantially equal to the diameter of mounting holes provided around a panel or at intervals along the length of a trim strip and the diameter of the head being greater than that of mounting holes, the skirt being provided with a plurality of protruding, resilient fringe members which can lightly engage the rim of a mounting hole and the bore of the cylindrical stem being provided with resilient fingers which can engage the projections of a weld stud when the push button is pressed through a mounting hole so that the cylindrical head abuts the top surface of the article and the cylindrical stem passes through the mounting hole and is pressed over the weld stud so that the article is thereby retained on the surface of the sheet to which the stud is welded. For some applications, such as the application of body panels, the skirt may be provided at the end of the stem remote from the retaining head but for other applications the skirt may be provided on the stem a short distance from that end.

Push button

A cable-securing device having a locking head and a flexible strap extending therefrom in the form of a ladder having cross bars extending between parallel side members. The cross bars are larger than the separation of the side members so that they are bent as they lie in the plane of the side members. The device has a projecting locking peg which forms a cable-securing loop when a cross bar is engaged by the locking peg.
