ABSTRACT:
A mounting structure for attachment of an electrical device on a vertical or obliquely angled vehicle surface. The surface is formed by a sheet material of predetermined thickness having a spaced pair of surfaces for defining bores therein. The mounting structure includes a mounting base plate adapted for attachment to an electrical device which is to be mounted to the surface. The base plate includes a plurality of mounting flange portions extending therefrom for mating with the surface. At least two of the plurality of mounting flange portions include transversely extending clip members spaced for engagement of the bores. Each of the clip members includes a first flange extending perpendicularly from the mounting flange portion. The first flange has portions formed therein defining a cutout portion. The cutout portion includes a ramp surface which leads to a terminal surface at a predetermined distance from the mounting flange. A second flange extends transversely from the first flange and along the ramp surface. The second flange includes a terminal edge adjacent the terminal surface of the ramp surface. The second flange forms a space between the mounting flange portion and the terminal edge. The space thereby defined is less than the thickness of the sheet material such that the ramp and associated surfaces of the second flange engages the sheet material with an interference fit thereby holding the flange securely to the vehicle surface.
