Abstract of the Disclosure A clip retaining an elongated trim strip in a bridging position over a gap between two spaced members wherein the clip is attached to a panel disposed within the gap. m e clip comprises a body portion having a pair of resilient arms extending outwardly from one side thereof for engaging beneath an inturned flange at one edge of the elongated trim strip. A resilient tongue extends outwardly from the opposite side of the body portion for engagement with the opposite edge of the trim strip. A resilient leg extends downwardly from the body portion and retained in a slotted opening in the panel disposed in the gap with the arms and the tongue engaged in the trim strip bridging the gap. The leg is of substantially diamond shaped cross-section and has a lower V-shaped portion comprising a bight from which extends a pair of divergent lower leg portions and an upper portion comprising a pair of convergent upper leg portions. A first of the upper leg portions connects the leg to the body portion to form an obtuse angle with a first of the lower leg portions and the second of the upper leg portions connects to the other of the lower leg portions to form an obtuse angle therewith and terminating in a free end in spaced relation with the first upper leg portion, whereby the other of the lower leg portions facilitates entry of the leg into the slotted opening and the second of the upper leg portions serves to retain the leg in the slotted opening with the first of the lower leg portions extending entirely through the slotted opening. A pair of elongated spring fingers is disposed one on each of the arms and extends generally toward the tongue and crosswise of a portion of the trim strip, one edge thereof engaged with the arms and the opposite edge engaged with the tongue beneath inturned flanges.
