Abstract
A generally U or V-shaped resilient clip has legs formed with externally projecting barbs intermediate their bowed length, and internally projecting barbs nearer yieldable ends of the legs. The junction of the leg portions is first freely and partly receivable in an aperture formed in one of two parts to be secured by the clip, the other part having a central rib and oppositely spaced recesses for enclosing the clip ends. The arrangement is such that pressing the two parts together fully seats the clip in the aperture, contact or gripping pressure of the external barbs with the wall of the aperture forcing the internal barbs to 'bite' into opposite sides of the rib to hold the parts assembled.
