  • Patent number: 5111557
    Abstract: The combination of a metal stud having a projecting head for welding to a receptor surface and a resilient clip for mounting on said stud and retained by said projecting head is characterized in that the underside of said head has a tapered shoulder which reduces progressively to the diameter of said stud, in that said clip has a retaining hole of which the internal diameter increases correspondingly from a diameter equal to that of the stud whereby it engages the tapered shoulder under said head when the clip is applied to the stud and in that said clip is provided with at least two retaining members which contact said receptor surface to urge the clip into close engagement with the tapered shoulder under the head of the stud.The clip is easily mounted on the stud by direct pressure and provides a more positive location of the clip on the stud.

  • Patent number: 4570303
    Abstract: A clip for releasable attachment to a stud having a screw thread or annular ribs comprises a mount, which is elliptical in cross-section and has transverse flanges on its long sides to engage the thread or ribs of the stud. Squeezing the mount by applying pressure onto the ends of its major axis forces the flanges apart and releases the clip. Such a deformation of the mount is checked by abutments at opposite ends of its major axis.
