ABSTRACT:
A plug for a panel aperture comprising a plate portion and a plurality of resilient legs which depend from the plate portion and which are shaped to be snap-engagable through the aperture in the panel so that the plate portion is drawn onto the panel thereby at least substantially closing the aperture, wherein the legs are formed by extensions of the plate portion which have been folded back onto the plate portion and then away from the plate portion, whereby the legs project from the plate portion from a position radially inwardly of the periphery of the plate portion leaving the periphery of the plate portion unbroken. The folded portion of each leg is preferably located in a recess in the plate portion so as to lie flush with the undersurface of the plate portion and a sealing member may be provided on the undersurface of the periphery of the plate portion. The sealing member may be a heat softenable plastics material which will harden when heated and cooled to bond the plate portion to the panel in which the plug is mounted.
