A clasp-like sheet metal nut for automatic fitting onto a support plate comprising a threaded leg, which has a thread profile, and a clasp leg, which is connected to said threaded leg via a cross-piece and is provided with a screw through-hole, the two legs running at an angle toward each other in the direction of their free ends and the free end of the threaded leg having an insertion plate protruding obliquely away from the clasp leg, wherein laterally outward-protruding guide fins are formed on one of the two legs.

Clasp-like sheet metal nut

A clip-like, C-shaped sheet-metal nut and an assembly device therefor, the nut having a thread leg with an embossed thread portion and a clip leg having a through hole, with the forward end of the thread leg having an upwardly and forwardly inclined insertion plate. A pair of guide webs are integrally formed on the two lateral edges of the thread leg that extend upwardly at right angles to the leg with the upper edges of the webs protruding above the insertion plate and running parallel to the clip leg and with their side surfaces being in a line with the lateral edges of the clip leg to provide a substantially outer rectangular perimeter to the nut.

The invention deals with a process for production of synthetic hairs for use in wigs, hair pieces, etc. While the natural appearance of synthetic hair is retained, the synthetic hair has a high thermal resistance. In the process, individual hair is given a diffuse light refraction by altering its structure surface, by means of chemically disturbing the surface. The process is so conducted that the surface of a single filament polyester fiber is disturbed by means of a corrosive alkaline lye, in which the solution of about 20 g/l of natrium hydroxide works into the fiber at a temperature of 96.degree.C.-100.degree. C.

C-shaped sheet-metal nut

A self-locking sheet-metal nut having a generally flat leg with an embossed thread portion for receipt of a screw and a pair of locking tabs resiliently and integrally connected to one end of said leg that extend over and are spaced from the leg. The tabs are approximately perpendicular to the axis of the screw and have clamping edges which are directed toward each other and form an opening downstream of the embossed thread portion that is smaller than the core diameter of the screw to be threaded into the nut. Upon turning of a screw through the nut, the clamping edges are forced apart and resiliently grip the core of the screw to lock it in place.

Self-locking sheet-metal nut

A fastening device for holding elements such as snap pins or clamps on a cover plate made of molded fiber which includes a holding plate spaced above the cover plate and having support plates fixed to opposite ends thereof by side walls. A separate intermediate plate is between the holding plate and support plates and the cover plate and has a plurality of claws adapted to penetrate the fiber plate. The intermediate plate and the holding plate are fastened together by hooks and/or snap fasteners.

A fastening plate for securing door-panel snap pins to an automobile's body to fix the interior panel to the automobile door. The fastening plate includes an aperture for slideably receiving a snap pin and a resilient rest plate positioned under the aperture for pressing the head of the snap pin against the portion of the holding plate surrounding the aperture. The resultant fastening plate securedly holds the snap pin perpendicular while permitting the radial movement of the snap pin within the clearance between the neck of the snap pin and the aperture.

A sun visor for a motor vehicle comprises a mounting bracket having a shaft projecting therefrom. A visor panel is rotatably mounted on the shaft by a connector. A clip connected to the visor panel comprises a spring leaf which exerts a radial force on the shaft to resist rotation and a radial ridge formation which engages with a complementary groove formation on the shaft to resist axial movement of the panel along the shaft thereby avoiding the need for further fasteners.

Sun visor

A clamp for fastening trim or protective strips on support surfaces which includes a single strip of sheet metal formed to three spaced, superposed legs, the outer legs being connected by a bridge, and the middle leg bent inwardly from the free end of the lower outer leg and extending toward the bridge and between the outer legs. The lower leg and bridge are slotted to slide or plug onto a shank of a T-shaped stud, the lower and middle leg clamping the top and bottom of the head of the stud. The upper and middle legs clamp a projection on the trim strip.

Clamp for trim strip

A clamp-like, slip-on nut for fitting on the edge of a support having a perforation therethrough, the nut being formed by bending a piece of sheet metal into a planar lower leg having a passageway therethrough and an upper leg having a structure forming a threaded aperture for receiving a screw inserted through the passageway, the perforation and the aperture, and a device for centering the aperture with the perforation including a substantially annular strip enclosing the passageway cut from the central portion of the lower leg, the strip being surrounded by a cutaway portion except for an integral connection between the strip and the leading edge portion of the lower leg, the strip rising slightly in its trailing edge portion toward the upper leg.
