ABSTRACT:
A quarter-turn fastener adapted for selective connection to a support member through a generally rectangular opening. The disclosed fastener comprises a body having a head and an axially elongated, rigid shank. Extending radially outward from the shank are two series of resilient leg members. The leg members in each series are axially spaced and configured to be readily deflectable toward the head but to offer substantial resistance to deflection away from the head. Wing-like stop members are joined to the shank at positions spaced circumferentially of the leg members for centering the fastener in the opening and limiting its rotation about the axis of the shank to a single predetermined direction.
