ABSTRACT:
A retainer clip to fixedly position a mat relative to an underlying carpet particularly suited to automotive environments. The retainer clip is formed from a single piece of generally rectangularly shaped resilient material which has a cut-out cut in a first portion thereof, the cut-out including a series of V-cuts at one end and a control member at the other end. The retainer clip further has two pointed members cut along each edge of a second portion thereof. The retainer clip is then stamped so that the end thereof adjacent the V-cuts is bent thereby causing the V-cuts to erupt as teeth, and the two pointed members are bent so as to be laterally displaced, thereby forming two prongs. The retainer clip is then bent on itself to form a U-shape. In operation, the two prongs are caused to enter the carpet backing in order to anchor the retainer clip thereto. An edge of the floormat is then inserted into an opening in the U-shaped configuration of the retainer clip, the teeth bearing against the floormat to hold it in place relative to the carpet.
