ABSTRACT:
A one-piece, integrally formed clip is provided for securing an elongate compressible gasket of given cross-sectional configuration to a panel having a clip-receiving aperture of predetermined peripheral dimensions. The clip comprises a bight portion dimensioned for receiving the gasket therewithin, a pair of resilient leg portions integrally joining the bight portion and normally extending outwardly therefrom in substantially parallel, spaced apart relation. The legs respectively terminate in substantially similar, oppositely outwardly diverging resilient barb portions. These barb portions diverge in the direction of the bight portion for resisting removal with respect to the through panel aperture. Additionally, the aperture defines a complimentary inner peripheral surface for non-removably receiving the clip. This surface is generally I-shaped, the central portion of the "I" being a lesser cross-sectional dimension than the width of the clip legs to prevent respective inward movement of the clip legs. The opposite end portions of the "I" are of similar cross-sectional dimension to the clip legs and of width less than the distance between the laterally outermost surface of each barb and the opposingly facing innermost surface of its associated leg, when in an undeformed condition, to permit ingress of the leg and barb but substantially oppose removal thereof.
