ABSTRACT:
A spring clip for mounting a ventilator in an opening provided in a foundation or other wall structure. Preferably, two spring clips are used to retain the ventilator in the opening, one spring clip on each side of the ventilator. Each spring clip is made of resilient material and includes a front end adapted for attachment to the ventilator, a bulged intermediate portion which is deflected inwardly upon insertion of the ventilator in the opening, and a rear end located adjacent a side wall of the ventilator and which slides along the side walls as the bulged portion is deflected. The bulged portion presses against the side of the ventilator and a side of the opening in an elastic manner to retain the ventilator in the opening by frictional engagement. The need is eliminated for fasteners other than the spring clips in order to securely retain the ventilator in the opening. The need to modify the opening to allow the ventilator to be retained therein by conventional fasteners is also eliminated.
