ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a novel and improved snap-on plug for an apertured panel. The snap-on plug comprises a shank and a flange extending laterally from one end of the shank. The shank is hollow and adapted for insertion within a complementary panel aperture. A groove is formed in the outer surface of the shank at a location adjacent the flange and adapted for engagement with a panel portion around the aperture. The shank is provided with an inner surface portion upon which a force is applied when the plug is to be inserted into the panel aperture. The inner surface is inclined with respect a plane in which the groove is positioned such that upon insertion of the plug into the complementary panel aperture the groove is gradually brought into engagement with the panel.
