THREE-PRONG CLIP AND METHODS OF INSTALLATION

摘要

Various embodiments of a three-prong clip are described along with assemblies and methods of installation utilizing the three-prong clip. A three prong unitary clip has a central axis and a base and three separate prongs formed on opposing sides of the base. Each prong has a first portion extending from the base at a first angle towards the axis of the clip, a second portion extending from the first portion at a second angle away from the axis of the clip, and a retention tab formed between the first portion and the second portion. The prongs separate on the opposing sides of the base and each retention tab on each prong forms a clamping surface generally parallel to the axis of the clip on an element secured therebetween.
