Abstract

See full text

A clip for fastening an article to a panel having a hole has a base and a self expanding head extending upwardly from the base. The self-expanding head has at least one column rising from the base to a platform that is spaced from the base. First and second pluralities of resilient legs attached to the platform extend toward the base. The first plurality of resilient legs have first retention shoulders that are spaced from the base and the second plurality of resilient legs have second and third retention shoulders that are spaced from the base. The second and third retention shoulders are located respectively closer to the base than the first retention shoulders so that the clip can be attached to panels of varying thickness when the head is inserted through a hole in the panel with the base abutting one side of the panel adjacent the hole and the first retention shoulders or the second retention shoulders or the third retention shoulders abutting an opposite side of the panel adjacent the hole.
