Abstract
A mount for attaching a device such as a multiple switch within a hole in a panel. A first part has a lip for laying upon the front of the panel and also a pair of spaced hook arms. A second part is attached to the device behind the panel and has an opening for receiving the hook arms. These resiliently enter the opening in the second part and hold the device securely but removably to the panel. Screws or tools are not required. Deformable ears on the second part bear against the back of the panel to secure the assembly, and the ear structure accommodates a range of panel thicknesses.
