Abstract
A filter retaining device for a furnace having a casing and requiring a filter includes a filter retaining wire for securing the filter over an opening provided in the casing. The retaining device also includes a latch clip and a retainer clip which are each insertable through a corresponding hole in the furnace casing. One end of the filter wire is moveably secured by the retainer clip. The other end of the filter wire has a U-shape formed therein so that it can be easily snapped into and out of the latch clip. Each clip has a pair of flexible barbed detentes so that it may be securely snapped into its corresponding hole.
