Serviceable Round Post Fastener - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18408896 titled 'Serviceable Round Post Fastener
The abstract describes a push-on fastener assembly designed to connect two components using a post on the second component. The assembly consists of two retainers - a first retainer with an annular body and retainer fingers, and a second retainer with a similar design but with retainer legs to secure the first retainer.
- The push-on fastener assembly is multi-component and includes a first retainer and a second retainer.
- The first retainer has an annular body with retainer fingers canted upwardly at a first angle.
- The second retainer also has an annular body with retainer fingers canted upwardly at a second angle and retainer legs for securing the first retainer.
- This design allows for easy coupling of components using a push-on mechanism.
- The assembly provides a secure connection while allowing for quick installation and removal.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for fastening various components. - Construction industry for assembling structures. - Electronics industry for securing parts in devices.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of connecting components. - Provides a secure fastening solution. - Allows for easy disassembly when needed.
Benefits: - Quick and easy installation. - Secure connection between components. - Versatile application in various industries.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Push-On Fastener Assembly for Efficient Component Coupling" This technology can be used in automotive, construction, and electronics industries for efficient and secure component coupling, potentially saving time and labor costs in assembly processes.

Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a push-on fastener assembly to couple a first component to a second component via a post associated with the second component. The push-on fastener assembly is a multi-component push-on fastener assembly having a first retainer and a second retainer. The first retainer has a first annular body with a first topside surface and a first underside surface. The first annular body defines a first opening and a first plurality of retainer fingers coupled to the first annular body and canted upwardly away from the first topside surface at a first angle. The second retainer has a second annular body with a second topside surface and a second underside surface. The second annular body defines a second opening, a second plurality of retainer fingers coupled to the second annular body and canted upwardly away from the second topside surface at a second angle, and one or more retainer legs to secure the first retainer relative to the second retainer.
