ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a plastic fixing device for mounting a decorative panel on an apertured supporting panel which comprises a male member adapted to be fastened to the decorative panel and a female member adapted to be attached to the apertured supporting panel. The device is characterized by the fact that the male member is provided with head means for fastening the male member to the decorative panel. The male member further includes a shaft extending from the head means and terminating in a bulbous engaging portion. The female member includes a hollow barrel open at one end, with a fitting flange extending outwardly from the periphery of the opening at one end of the barrel and shoulder means protruding from the outer surface of the barrel so that the female member can be attached to the supporting panel by inserting the barrel through a hole perforated in the supporting panel. The female member barrel is further provided inside the hollow interior thereof with a first spherical cavity and a second spherical cavity coaxially spaced so that when the shaft of the male member is telescopically received through the end opening into the-hollow barrel interior of the female member, and the male and female members are brought into temporary engagement by driving the shaft to a first position of insertion by seating the bulbous engaging portion in the first spherical cavity, the two members are brought into full engagement by axially driving the shaft to a second position of insertion and thereby seating the bulbous engaging portion in the second spherical cavity, whereby the decorative panel is fastened to the supporting panel.
