ABSTRACT:
A self-locking retainer, actuated by pushing a piece to be retained into the retainer, includes opposed molded parts hinged together, one pair of parts, on opposite sides of a hinged portion, movable together to form a base and a retention plug with integral locking dogs, and a second pair of parts mounted on the base of the first pair formed as hinged jaws with opposed recesses to clamp a piece to be retained. Detent means on the jaws and the base of the first pair of parts interlock to hold the jaws together when pushed together by a part to be retained.
