Abstract

See full text

A clip for attaching a component to a mounting surface of a container has a generally tubular body with outwardly extending projections and a component retaining aperture. The clip and the container are formed from similar plastic materials with the container material having the same or lower melt index value. The component is assembled with the clip by insertion through a gap in the clip wall widened under a deflecting force. The clip is placed in contact with the mounting surface while the container has latent heat to melt at least one of the contacting projections and form a bond area attaching the component/clip assembly to the mounting surface of the container.
