ABSTRACT:
A one-piece plastic fastener for supporting secondary members relative to a thin panel in a shouldered, non-circular aperture. The fastener provides a wide distribution of stress loading by a large hook-like prong which is rotated into contact with the backside of the panel by telescoping it through the aperture until the head covers the aperture. A resilient non-loadbearing arm extends from the prong in a curved or angular relationship for engagement with two adjacent edges of the non-circular aperture to permanently prevent unintentional retrograde motion of the fastener. The fastener is non-removeable due to the locking of the notch in the arm with the side edge of the non-circular aperture.
