Abstract
A clip for securing a cylindrical lock shell within a mounting hole by frictionally engaging a region of the shell includes a pair of extending legs, each including a flat portion, a curved portion and a contact portion. The legs provide the frictional contact to the lock shell. Also included is a generally planar bridge portion connecting the two legs. The bridge portion is co-planar with the flat region on the legs. The curved portion of each leg has an apex, which is disposed eccentrically of a longitudinal center line of the cylindrical lock shell.
