Abstract
A mounting device for holding a first panel within an aperture in a second panel includes two frames. The first frame has subconnectors with hook structures. The second frame is formed as a U-shape with flanges extending at angles greater than 90.degree. from the arms of the U-shape. When the two frames are connected to each other by virtue of the interaction of the hook structures and apertures in the arms of the U-shaped structure, the U-shaped structure exerts spring-like pressure on both the wall panel and the window being held within the wall panel.
