Filed:

Mar 24, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/478632

Inventors:

James C. Dearing - Talbott TN

International Classification:

G12B 900

US Classification:

248 271

Abstract:

A mounting clip is disclosed which is formed of a pliable metal and is adapted to be bent around an opening in a wall to allow an air duct register to be mounted in place. The clip includes a circular hole which is positioned at the front surface of the wall and a narrow elongated slot at the back surface of the wall. A threaded fastener passes through mounting holes in the air duct register, the circular holes in the mounting clip and the wall, and engages the edges of the narrow slot. The edges of the narrow slot deform to form burrs which engage the wall to firmly hold the clip in place. By providing the clip with an elongated slot, the clip is adjustable and may be used with walls of various thicknesses.
