Abstract
A plastic connector is provided for connecting an associated support member with an associated plate element. A generally cylindrical elongate neck shaped intermediate zone defines a longitudinal axis and carries on a first end an upper part and on a second end a lower part . The upper part is selectively attachable to the associated plate element. The lower part is selectively connectable with the associated support member and includes a cover cone portion defining a generally pointed conical tip S. A plurality of ribs ′ are arranged longitudinally on the lower part and extend radially outwardly from the lower part by a first height H, the first height being greater than an outer diameter D formed by the intermediate zone . A spherical constriction portion is defined between the intermediate zone and the cover cone portion to enable secure connection between the associated support member and plate element and to assist in installation of the connector.
