发明名称 Bracket clip
摘要 A snap-in clip having a low profile head and a pair of integral spaced legs extending away from the head to an insertion base. A wing element is angled upwardly away from one side of the insertion base with a free edge projecting towards the underside of the head. The clip is adapted for insertion through an access opening in an insert flange projecting through a mounting bracket to secure the insert flange in place in transverse relation to the mounting bracket.

主权项 1. A snap-in bracket clip adapted for insertion through an access opening in an insert flange projecting through a mounting bracket to secure the insert flange in place in transverse relation to the mounting bracket, the bracket clip comprising: a head portion defining a finger engagement press tab projecting away from an outboard boundary edge to an inboard boundary edge, the outboard boundary edge being adapted to engage a surface of the mounting bracket at a position above the insert flange; a pair of spaced-apart legs integral with the head portion and extending away from the head portion, each of the legs having a wedge-shaped configuration including an upper portion bordered by parallel inboard and outboard edges adapted for disposition at an interior of the access opening and a tapered lower portion, wherein the lower portion includes an outboard contact surface of non-tapered configuration adapted to engage a surface of the mounting bracket at a position below the insert flange, an integral base extending between distal ends of the legs such that the base and the legs cooperatively form a “U” shaped profile; and a single integral snap wing extending in angled relation away from the base, the single integral snap wing being disposed on an inboard side of the bracket clip and including a free edge disposed below an underside of the head portion, wherein the single integral snap wing includes a lower wing segment having an outer surface forming a first angle relative to the underside of the head portion and an upper wing segment extending to the free edge, the upper wing segment having an outer surface forming a second, steeper angle relative to the underside of the head portion wherein the outer surface of the lower wing segment includes a plurality of longitudinal raised ribs of curved profile extending at least partially along a length of the lower wing segment.
