摘要

The system for mounting an air conditioner (81) on a car instrument panel (82) comprises a cylindrical nut (52) which fits into a plug with a flange at the top which is divided into sections (64, 66) by axial slits allowing it to expand. A screw (56) fits through a central bore in the plug and into the nut. Grooves and ribs on the plug and nut guide the screw and expand as it is fastened.
