Fastener structure assembly

A fastener adapted to mount a mounting object having an insertion rib onto a support body having a mounting aperture, wherein the fastener is adapted to first be mounted on the insertion rib and thereafter the joined insertion rib and fastener are adapted to be inserted into the mounting aperture of the support body, the fastener comprising:

• a fastener body having at least two legs extending substantially in parallel, each leg comprising a shoulder portion adapted to elastically engage an inner edge of the mounting aperture when the fastener is inserted into the mounting aperture, and
• a gripper portion coupled to the fastener body, the gripper portion comprising a pair of opposing surfaces and an engagement projection disposed on each gripper surface, wherein each gripper surface is adapted to substantially facially contact the insertion rib when the fastener is mounted on the insertion rib and each engagement projection is adapted to engage a slot formed in the insertion rib.

A fastener, comprising:

• a body having an elastic shoulder portion and an interior surface;
• and
• a pair of gripper tongues coupled to the interior surface of the body, the gripper tongues each having a gripper tongue surface and an engagement projection extending inwardly from a center portion of each gripper tongue surface, wherein the pair of engagement projections is adapted to engage an aperture in an insertion rib, the pair of gripper tongue surfaces are disposed substantially in a parallel opposed relationship and are adapted to substantially, facially contact and squeeze both side surfaces of the insertion rib when the fastener is fitted onto the insertion rib, wherein the fastener is adapted to firmly and stably fit onto the insertion rib.

An integrally molded fastener adapted to removably mount a mounting object on a support body, wherein the fastener is adapted to be fitted onto an insertion rib of the mounting object and then inserted into a mounting aperture of the support body, comprising:

• a fastener body having an interior portion and a shoulder portion, the shoulder portion adapted to elastically engage an inner edge of the mounting aperture when the fastener is inserted into the mounting aperture of the support body,
• a gripper portion disposed on the interior portion of the fastener body comprising a pair of substantially parallel, opposed gripper tongues integrally formed on the inner portion of the fastener body, the gripper tongues having a pair of substantially parallel, opposing surfaces adapted to substantially facially contact the insertion rib, and
• a pair of engagement projections respectively disposed on a central portion of each gripper tongue surface, the pair of engagement projections adapted to removably engage a slot in the insertion rib, wherein the fastener is adapted to firmly and stably fit onto the insertion rib.
