Patent ID: 7055783

Claim:
A fastener system, comprising: a fastener element having a holding pin, the holding pin adaptable to mount the fastener element to a component part; a rectangular-shaped frame of the fastener element having a parallel pair of opposed ledges laterally mounted to the frame, and a rectangular-shaped opening positioned between the opposed ledges; a flange connectably joining the holding pin and the rectangular-shaped frame; a plurality of projections positioned adjacent the rectangular-shaped opening; a substantially rectangular-shaped deflectable holder having a pair of distending spring fingers supported from at least one adjacency surface and a pair of longitudinally separated concave shaped surfaces having the concave shaped surfaces oppositely directed from the spring fingers; a common width of the spring fingers; wherein the spring fingers are positioned having the common width bounded between adjacent side pairs of the projections, operably providing a locked holder position; and the projections including at least an adjacent pair of deflectable projections operably deflected by a lateral force applicable to the holder to release the spring fingers from the locked holder position permitting a lateral translation of the holder; wherein in a fastener engaged position, the longitudinally separated concave shaped surfaces of the holder face away from the component part and are adaptable to support an elongated object, the spring fingers are operably engaged with the rectangular-shaped opening by deflection of the deflectable holder, the holder is operably secured between the opposed ledges to resist rotation relative to the fastener element, and the holding pin is engaged with the component part.
