ABSTRACT:
A clip system for fixing an attachment to a support part is provided using a connecting clip (1) consisting of a resilient material. The connecting clip (1) can be clamped to a retaining rib (8) of the attachment (6) and can be inserted into an essentially rectangular orifice (9) of the support part (7). The connecting clip (1) has two springloaded limbs (3), which originate from a central segment (2) and are bent back on themselves, whose free ends (4) are bent outwards and backwards in such a way that when the external limbs (5) formed by the bend are introduced into the orifice (9), they are pressed together in a spring-loaded manner between the edges (10) and snap into the opening, thus securing the connecting clip (1) in a non-positive fit. Once the connecting clip (1) has been introduced into the orifice (9), additional tension is exerted on the claws (16) by the pressure of the external sprig-loaded limbs (5), thus further increasing the retaining force on the retaining rib (8).
