Abstract
A pin and grommet fastener includes a grommet and a pin. The grommet includes a base, panel locking fingers, and pin locking fingers. The locking fingers project from the base and cooperate with one another to define a pin receptacle therebetween. The pin includes a pin head, a driving beam connected to the pin head, and protrusions. When the pin head is inserted through an opening in the base and into the pin receptacle, the pin locking fingers engage the pin and thereby retain the pin head in the pin receptable. When the fastener is inserted in one direction into a hole in a panel, the panel engages the driving beam and thereby moves the pin relative to the grommet in the opposite direction, which causes the panel locking fingers to flex away from one another and thereby inhibits withdrawal of the fastener from the hole in the panel.
