Abstract

A body mount included at least one clip, at least one plate and a sleeve. The clip may include a generally cylindrical body having a central aperture therethrough. The clip may further include at least one set of inwardly extending prongs. The clip may further include at least one set of outwardly extending prongs. The sleeve may have opposed openings capable of engaging a first clip and a second clip between their respective plates.

Claims (42)

1. A body mount assembly comprising:

at least one clip comprising:

a generally cylindrical body having a proximal end and a distal end and a central aperture therethrough from the proximal end to the distal end; and

a flange located at the distal end;

at least one plate having an aperture sized to receive the cylindrical body and engage the flange; and

a sleeve having opposed openings capable of engaging a first clip and a second clip between their respective plates, wherein said sleeve is capable of receiving the cylindrical body of both the first clip and the second clip through the opposed openings.

2. The body mount assembly of claim 1 wherein said body further comprises a longitudinal split located along said body between the proximal end and the distal end.

3. The body mount assembly of claim 2 wherein said body further includes at least one set of inwardly extending prongs capable of engaging a fastener inserted within the central aperture.

4. The body mount assembly of claim 3 wherein said body includes at least one set of outwardly extending prongs capable of engaging the sleeve when the body is inserted therein.

5. A body mount assembly comprising:

a first clip comprising:

a generally cylindrical body having a proximal end and a distal end and a central aperture through the body from the proximal end to the distal end; and

a flange located at the distal end;

a second clip comprising:

a generally cylindrical body having a proximal end and a distal end and a central aperture through the body from the proximal end to the distal end; and

a flange located at the distal end;

a first plate having an aperture sized to receive the cylindrical body of the first clip and engage the flange of the first clip;

a second plate having an aperture sized to receive the cylindrical body of the second clip and engage the flange of the second clip; and

a sleeve having opposed openings capable of engaging the first clip and the second clip between the first plate and the second plate, wherein the sleeve is capable of receiving the cylindrical body of the first clip and the second clip through the opposed openings.

6. The body mount assembly of claim 5 wherein the body of the first clip further comprises a longitudinal split located along the body between the proximal end and the distal end.

7. The body mount assembly of claim 5 wherein the body of the second clip further comprises a longitudinal split located along the body between the proximal end and the distal end.

8. The body mount assembly of claim 6 wherein the body of the first clip further includes at least one set of inwardly extending prongs capable of engaging a fastener inserted within the central aperture.

9. The body mount assembly of claim 7 wherein the body of the second clip further includes at least one set of inwardly extending prongs capable of engaging a fastener inserted within the central aperture.

10. The body mount assembly of claim 5 wherein the body of the first clip includes at least one set of outwardly extending prongs capable of engaging the sleeve when the body of the first clip is inserted therein.

11. The body mount assembly of claim 10 wherein the body of the second clip includes at least one set of outwardly extending prongs capable of engaging the sleeve when the body of the second clip is inserted therein.

12. A body mount assembly comprising:

a first clip comprising:

a generally cylindrical body having a proximal end and a distal end;

a flange located at the distal end; and

at least one set of outwardly extending prongs;

a second clip comprising:

a generally cylindrical body having a proximal end and a distal end; and

a flange located at the distal end;

a first plate having an aperture sized to receive the cylindrical body and engage the flange of the first plate;

a second plate having an aperture sized to receive the cylindrical body and engage the flange of the second plate; and

a sleeve having opposed openings capable of engaging the first clip and the second clip between the first plate and the second plate, wherein the sleeve is capable of receiving the cylindrical body of the first clip and the second clip through the opposed openings and wherein the at least one set of outwardly extending prongs engage the sleeve when the first clip is inserted therein.

13. The body mount assembly of claim 12 wherein the body of the first clip further comprises a longitudinal split located along the body of the first clip between the proximal end and the distal end.

14. The body mount assembly of claim 12 wherein the body of the first clip further includes a central aperture through the body from the proximal end to the distal end.

15. The body mount assembly of claim 14 wherein the body of the first clip includes at least one set of inwardly extending prongs capable of engaging a fastener inserted within the central aperture of the first clip.

16. The body mount assembly of claim 12 wherein the body of the second clip further includes a central aperture through the body from the proximal end to the distal end.

17. The body mount assembly of claim 16 wherein the body of the second clip includes at least one set of inwardly extending prongs capable of engaging a fastener inserted within the central aperture of the second clip.

18. The body mount assembly of claim 12 wherein the body of the second clip further includes at least one set of outwardly extending prongs capable of engaging the sleeve when the body of the second clip is inserted therein.
