ABSTRACT:
A panel retainer comprises a one-piece, integrally formed member, formed from a resilient, elastically bendable material, and having a fastener-receiving portion and a panel-gripping portion. The fastener-receiving portion comprises a body portion having a top surface and a substantially flat bottom surface spaced from the top surface and defining a through aperture for receiving a fastener to secure the retainer to a given surface. The panel-gripping portion comprises a further body portion projecting from the first body portion and having a tapered surface portion diverging from the first body bottom flat surface for engagement with a panel to be retained thereby. The gripping portion is flexible in the area where it joins with the fastener-receiving portion to permit resilient, elastic bending thereof for engagement of the tapered surface in a surface-to-surface engagement with the panel.
