Abstract
A screw mounting clip member is provided with a spring detent member cooperating with a stop member to slidably fixedly engage the clip in a slotted aperture adjacent an unthreaded screw-receiving borehole. Another spring detent member provided on the clip extends into the borehole when the clip is fixedly mounted in place. A threaded screw is fastened in the borehole by initially being manually thrust endwise into the borehole without turning, thereby deflecting and forcefully engaging the spring detent with the screw threads. The screw may thereafter be tightened by turning the screw against the spring detent and may be unfastened only by reverse turning of the screw, in the conventional manner.
