ABSTRACT:
A plug for closing an aperture in a panel comprising a metal plate portion and a plurality of metal legs. The plate portion and the legs can be formed from different materials having different characteristics. Each leg comprises an attaching portion which attaches the leg on the plate portion and a mounting portion which depends from the plate portion. The legs are so shaped and positioned that they are co-operatively snap-engagable through the aperture in the panel to mount the plug in the aperture. The legs and the plate portion are manufactured separately and subsequently assembled. A sealing ring having a channel shaped cross-section is optionally attached to the periphery of the plate portion so as to overlie the upper and lower surfaces of the periphery of the plate portion.
