US 2008/0164733 A1 · CLAMP FOR CLIMATE CONTROL DEVICE

Abstract

A clamp that can be molded into an object comprising a first wall and a second wall spaced from the first wall. The clamp also comprises a third wall located between the first wall and the second wall. The third wall at least partially defines a first space between the first wall and the third wall. The third wall at least partially defines a second space between the second wall and the third wall. The first space is open in at least two directions, and the third wall is deflectable into the second space. The third wall is at least partially connected to the second wall along a first edge of the second wall and the second wall is connected along a second edge of the second wall to the first wall. The clamp also includes a tapered extension extending from the third wall at least partially into the first space.
