  • Patent number: 5465928
    Abstract: A combination of an assemblage and at least one mounting clip for mounting the assemblage into an opening of a finite size in a panel having frontwardly facing and rearwardly facing surfaces to facilitate a display of a front face of the assemblage from the frontwardly facing surface of the panel. The mounting clip is secured by a fastener to the assemblage so that the combination of the assemblage and mounting clip are inserted into the opening in the panel as a unit. Thereafter, the fastening mechanism is rotated so as to cause the mounting clip to rotate therewith and place a flange thereon into engagement with the rearwardly facing surface of the panel while the front face of the assemblage engages the frontwardly facing surface of the panel. Continued rotation of the fastening mechanism will effect a drawing of the mounting clip toward the front face of the assemblage so as to clamp the material of the panel between the front face of the assemblage and the flange on the mounting clip.
