Fastener assembly

摘要

A fastener assembly is disclosed which comprises a clip for mounting a constituent member to a corresponding receiving member. A socket portion is integrally formed on the constituent member, which socket portion has a cylindrical opening with a pair of engaging projections extending from opposing inner peripheral surface portions of the opening toward each other. The clip has a shaft, a support portion formed at a longitudinal central portion of the shaft and adapted to fit in the opening of the socket portion, a pair of spearhead-shaped snap portions formed at opposite ends of the shaft, one of which snap portions is adapted to fit in the opening of the socket portion and engage the projections, and small flexible bosses which retain said one of the snap portions in the opening when this snap portion is disengaged from the projections. A mounting hole is bored on the receiving member so as to receive the other one of the snap portions. When the clip is at a first angular position with respect to the mounting hole, the two snap portions engage the projections of the socket portion and the edges of said mounting hole, respectively, so as to mount the constituent member to the receiving member, while when the clip is turned to a second angular position, the constituent member can be removed from the receiving member with the clip carried by the constituent member.
