Abstract
A quick clip assembly for a strap element of an electrical receptacle is provided that expedites mounting of a wall plate to an electrical receptacle. The strap element is connected to an electrical receptacle and has an opening therein to receive a fastener. A resilient member is connected to the strap element such that a free end of the resilient member overlies the strap element opening. The free end of the resilient member flexes and engages the fastener inserted through the strap element opening without substantial rotation.
