ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting a device in a control panel. The assembly includes a flanged housing and a collar. The collar has a forwardly and inwardly open recess which receives the flange of the housing to allow flush rear mounting of the assembly on a control panel and attachment means for such mounting. The collar also has a restraint mechanism, such as a ratchet, which allows forward movement of the collar on the housing for through mounting of the device on a control panel but prevents rearward movement of the collar on the housing to thereby squeeze the control panel firmly between the flange and the collar. The restraint preferably includes a set of transversally spaced ratchet arms of varying lengths to allow fine adjustment of the collar position on the housing for flush rear mounting and for firmer through mounting.
