ABSTRACT:
A retaining clip for fastening a construction part to a carrier plate, in which the retaining clip has a supporting plate that rests on the carrier plate, a clamping tab for holding the part to the clip and a compressible fastening sleeve formed of two sleeve wall halves for anchoring the clip in a hole in the carrier plate. At least one of the sleeve halves has a pair of outwardly projecting, resiliently compressible hooks that pass through the hole and then engage the plate from behind when the sleeve of the clip is pressed into the hole to hold the clip in place, and a pair of tabs adjacent the hooks that project outwardly beyond the edges of the hole on the front side of the carrier plate, so that when the tabs are squeezed together, the hooks will be released and the clip can be readily removed.
