ABSTRACT:
A screw grommet comprises a pair of flange halves, a pair of leg halves depending from the respective flange halves and a small thickness portion connecting the lower ends of the leg halves. When fitting the screw grommet, the leg halves are thrust into a panel opening and then a tapping screw is screwed into the threaded grooves to separate the leg halves from each other while their opposed surfaces remain parallel so that the screw grommet is reliably secured to the panel. Thus, the screw grommet is adaptable to tapping screws having different diameters and also to panels having different thicknesses or openings of different diameters.
