METHOD OF INSTALLING AS FASTENER IN A SUPPORT MADE OF MOULDED SOFT MATERIAL, FASTENER SUITABLE FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS METHOD, FIXING INCORPORATING SAID FASTENER, AND SUPPORT MADE OF MOULDED SOFT MATERIAL OBTAINED BY SAID METHOD

摘要

A two-part fastener for mounting a component upon a substrate comprises a first part having an elongate hollow body, a self-tapping threaded portion defined upon an exterior peripheral portion of the elongate body whereby the first part can be threadedly secured within the substrate, and a first snap-fitting engagement member defined upon an internal peripheral portion of the first part. The second part likewise comprises an elongate body, a support portion for fixedly mounting the component thereon, and a plurality of axially spaced second snap-fitting engagement members defined upon an external peripheral portion of the second part. When the second part is axially inserted into the first part, for example, with the component affixed thereon, the second snap-fitting engagement members of the second part selectively engage the engagement member of the first part such that the disposition of the component supported upon the second part can be adjustably mounted as desired relative to the substrate.
