ABSTRACT:
A fastener clip adapted for use with an associated fastener includes a head portion having an aperture through which the fastener extends. A pair of integral, spaced apart legs extend from one side of the head portion. Each leg includes first and second portions with the second portion being bent back upon the first portion in a position spaced outwardly thereof. A finger portion is located at a free end of the second portion and extends inwardly toward and through an aperture in the first portion. When a tension load is imposed on the clip, connecting zones between the first and second portions of each leg are deflected toward each other to apply a clamping force to a fastener extending therebetween. Also, the finger portions are shifted to positions which enhance seating of the clip in an associated workpiece.
