PLATE CONNECTORS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is a one-piece plastic connector adapted for use in a polygonal shaped aperture in a flat plate, and it includes a head portion, operating means disposed on one surface of the head portion, and a noncircular fitting portion means disposed on the other surface of the head portion and having means defining a configuration substantially complimentary to the shape of the polygonal aperture in the plate. The fitting portion means includes slanted surfaces flaring toward each of the corners thereof in the direction of the head but terminating in axially spaced relation to the head. A central- ly disposed resilient plate-like anchor member extends axially out from and angularly disposed relative to the slanted surfaces on the fitting portion with the member having side-to-side dimension slightly smaller than the largest dimension of the aperture in the plate but greater than the distance between opposite sides of the polygonal aperture. That member is provided with inclined shoulders on the sides where the anchor member joins the fitting portion, and the shoulders flare away from the fitting portion. The anchor member further includes a pair of through apertures that form a centrally disposed rigid post-like member, a free entering end relatively flexible transverse portion connected to the post-like member and ex- tending laterally a substantial extent, a pair of resilient side walls extending generally perpendicular from the ends of the transverse member to a point intermediate the axial extent of the post-like member and thence angularly inwardly to their point of attachment to the fitting portion to thereby provide the inclined shoulders in the form of resilient cam surfaces.
