ABSTRACT:
A clip is installable on the edge area of a panel to assume a tight or floating condition centered on a fastener hole in the panel. The clip includes at least one prong or similar gripper mechanism designed to hold the clip-panel in place on a fastener while the fastener is being tightened. The clip further includes a pressure limiting mechanism for limiting the pressure exerted by the clip walls on the panel when the fastener is in its final tightened position. The clip can also be used as a fastener means.
