A generally “U”or “V”shaped clip type fastener adapted to secure a projection on one part in an opening or aperture in another part. The fastener has a lead portion for insertion into the opening with locking tabs for attachment to the projection and a trailing locking portion which passes over the projection and has oppositely disposed locking shoulder abutting the sides of the opening to lock the projection into the opening. In this arrangement, the clip can be inserted onto the projection with the locking tabs retaining the clip on the projection. The part with the projection can then be secured to the part with the opening by merely inserting the clip into the opening and forcing the parts together to “snap fit”the clip into the opening.

A resilient clip for retaining a projection on a panel into an opening in a support, comprising: (a) substantially symmetrical opposed side members adapted to lock against the sides of the projection; (b) a central rounded main support member connecting said side members together to form a substantially “U”or “V”shape configuration to the clip; (c) said side members having opposed elongated centrally located legs with rounded locking shoulders and means for engaging the sides of the projection; (d) each of said side members also having substantially symmetrical opposed separate locking legs disposed adjacent said centrally located legs so that the locking legs of one side member oppose the locking legs of the other side member; (e) each of said locking legs having locking tabs spaced apart from said engaging means and adapted to lock against the sides of the projection in a loaded condition; (f) said locking shoulders extending outwardly away from one another and are adapted to lock against the sides of the opening in the support to load said engaging means against the sides of the projection and to retain the projection of the panel into the opening in the support while permitting removal of the panel from the support.
