Abstract
A transversely resilient one-piece sheet metal clip, generally U-shaped is formed for detachable push-on mounting and suspension from one inner side of an elongated channel member such as a molding which is to longitudinal receive and anchor therein a workpiece or pieces. For instance, the channel may be a roof drip molding for an automobile and required, by means of a plurality of these clip structures, when suitably spaced, to retain therein the edges of sheet metal and/or other sheet lining material such as vinyl or the like. The clip has its longer leg transversely bowed and formed with at least one barb or tang portion and one suspension portion cooperative to grip the molding side on opposite faces thereof, the shorter leg of the clip being formed with at least one tang projecting for gripping engagement with the lining material or body sheet metal commonly known as the pinch weld.
