ABSTRACT:
A fixing device is described which comprises a resilient pin 10 having a leading end portion 18 comprising a single resiliently deflectable limb and is inclined relative to the pin axis. The pin 10 is used to fasten two panels together by inserting it through one panel into a bore in the other panel, this insertion being made possible by resilient deflection of the limb decreasing the inclination thereof such that the pin 10 has a substantially axial configuration. The leading end portion 18 of the pin 10 is provided with an engagement element 20 which extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pin axis and is arranged to engage in a hole 38 provided in the other panel by virtue of the resilience of the pin 10 tending to cause release of the deflection of the limb such that it resumes its undeflected configuration.
