  • Multiple retainer bridge
    Patent number: 7354470
    Abstract: A multiple retainer bridge device is provided for securing a utility member (e.g., a magnet or bracket) to posts on a housing member (e.g., a filter housing). When assembled, the utility member is staked onto the posts. A single retainer member prevents the utility member from sliding off of the posts. The retainer member has at least two ends. Each end has a recess, and each recess has a securing portion and a receptacle portion. The securing portion is fixed to the posts by, for example, sonic welding. Flash created by the fixing process is confined within the receptacle portion of the recesses.
