Abstract
The screw grommet comprises a flange and a shank extending from the flange. The shank is provided with flexible legs extending from the end of the shank towards the flange and outwardly from the shank. The shank has a screw insertion hole into which a tapping screw is screwed to prevent the legs from being bent radially inward towards the shank so that the screw grommet is fixed to the workpiece by means of the legs and the flange. The inner portion of the legs is provided with a threaded section turned by screwing in the tapping screw. The flange is integrated with a tubular fastening torque bearing section extending in the direction opposite the shank . The fastening torque bearing section is formed with a screw insertion hole having a diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the tapping screw so as to receive the tapping screw.
