Mounting bracket

Abstract

A mounting bracket for mounting a first component onto a second component, includes a body member having a formation which is engageable with a corresponding formation on the second component to which the first component is to be attached to and an attachment member protruding from the body member. The attachment member is provided with resilient means co-operable with a corresponding formation on the first component.

1 . A mounting bracket for mounting a first component onto a second component, the mounting bracket comprising:
 a body member having a formation which is engageable with a corresponding formation on the second component to which the first component is to be attached to;   at least an attachment member protruding from the body member, wherein the attachment member is provided with resilient means co-operable with a corresponding formation on the first component.   
   
   
       2 . The mounting bracket according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the body member is also provided with resilient means co-operable with a corresponding formation on the second component. 
   
   
       3 . The mounting bracket according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the body member comprises a plastics block having a substantially rectangular aperture for receiving a corresponding rectangular protrusion on the second component. 
   
   
       4 . The mounting bracket according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the attachment member comprises a rectangular protrusion having the resilient means mounted thereon. 
   
   
       5 . The mounting bracket according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the resilient means comprises a biased detent adapted to deform from an outward position to an inward position as it engages with the component and return back to its original position when the first and second components are mounted to one another. 
   
   
       6 . The mounting bracket according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the first and second components are heat exchanger components for an automobile. 
   
   
       7 . A mounting bracket for mounting a first heat exchanger component onto a second heat exchanger component for an automobile, the mounting bracket comprising:
 a body member having a formation which is engageable with a corresponding formation on the second heat exchanger component to which the first heat exchanger component is to be attached to, resilient means co-operable with a corresponding formation on the second heat exchanger component, and a plastics block having a substantially rectangular aperture for receiving a corresponding rectangular protrusion on the second heat exchanger component; and at least an attachment member protruding from the body member, wherein the attachment member comprises a rectangular protrusion having the resilient means mounted thereon, wherein resilient means co-operable with a corresponding formation on the first component.   
   
   
       8 . A mounting bracket for mounting a first heat exchanger component onto a second heat exchanger component of  claim 7 , wherein said resilient means comprises a biased detent adapted to deform from an outward position to an inward position as it engages with the heat exchanger component and return back to its original position when the first and second heat exchanger components are mounted to one another
