ABSTRACT:
A one-piece plastic fastener for connecting a right angled actuating rod to a lever member. The fastener includes a base member having a rod receiving aperture at one end; a retaining means for associating the fastener with the lever member, the retaining means having a bore co-axial with and communicating with the base aperture and an upstanding wall forming a receptacle on the other side of the base member to receive a right angle end of the actuating rod, the inner wall surfaces having a funnel-like configuration to permit blind insertion of the end of the actuating rod into said aperture and communicating bore. A rigid retaining arm overlying said base in space relation to said aperture and resilient finger means forming a throat with said arm to permit insertion of the actuating rod into retained position under said arm when its right angled end is inserted through the aperture and into the bore of the retaining means.
