HEAT SHIELD RETAINER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A retainer assembly for securing a thermal insulating shield defining at least one opening to a heat producing component includes a retainer assembly. A spacer defining a tubular spacer wall is formed from a pliant substrate received by the at least one opening. A washer is disposed on an opposite side of the thermal insulating shield from the spacer and defines an opening that is axially aligned with the tubular spacer wall. The retainer includes a tubular retainer wall with a radial flange located adjacent a proximal end of the tubular retainer wall and distal end received by the tubular spacer wall. The tubular retainer wall includes an outer surface having a plurality prongs spaced between the proximal end and the distal end of the tubular retainer wall for engaging at least the washer for retaining the spacer and the washer upon the thermal insulating shield.
