  • Publication number: 20040214121
    Abstract: A mantle assembly including a holder, a mantle clip, and a mantle. The holder includes first and second abutment portions for biasing or otherwise holding end portions of the mantle clip so that an opening of the mantle clip is held in an open position. The end portions are held such that once the open portion of the mantle clip is placed onto a mantle base, the holder may be pulled away or otherwise manipulated so that the end portions slide out of or off of the abutment portions and the mantle clip may attach to the mantle base. The attachment of the mantle clip to the mantle base may be formed, for example, by the end portions biasing back into position after being released by the mantle holder, so that the middle portion becomes smaller and locks around the mantle base.
