Abstract
Disclosed is a molding clamp for securing trim molding to a support body. The clamp includes a base having gripping heads along its opposite sides connected to the base by flat elastic strips. One side of the base includes a rivet for securing the clamp to the support body. The gripping heads are movable toward the base upon application of the molding to the clamp and engage the molding to retain it on the clamp under the bias of the strips. The gripping heads and base have cooperating flanges which relieve bending stresses on the elastic strips in a direction normal to the clamp and support body when the molding is secured to the clamp and support body.
