Abstract

A system to connect and retain a first member with a second member. The first member has a mounting section with two arms and a bridge between the arms. The arms are canted towards each other in a general cantilever fashion and are deflectable outward from each other. The bridge extends between middle sections of the two arms and is deflectable as the arms are moved outward. The bridge can be collapsed to retain the arms in their outward position.
