  • Patent number: 4074491
    Abstract: A metal U-shaped spring clip having a resilient material moulded to the interior surface thereof. Each of the legs of the U has an aperture and the apertures are aligned for receiving a bolt therethrough. The resilient material is integrally moulded into a bushing within each of the apertures; and this bushing includes a projection or lip of resilient material which, when the clip is slipped onto a part having a mating hole, allows the lip portion of the apertured legs to extend into the opening, thereby forming an interlocking engagement with the hole for retension of the clip. A second embodiment includes a captive nut on one of the legs of the U for retaining a bolt.
