Self-Locking Fastener

A fastener to connect a first component to a second component with an opening. The fastener includes a head with two lock tabs, each shaped with a sloped sidewall, and a lead-in portion that fits into the opening. A shank connects the lead-in portion to a push bar, which has at least one angled (chamfered) edge. Flexible legs extend between the head and the lead-in portion and compress as the lead-in portion is inserted. During installation, the chamfered edge of the push bar slides against the sloped sidewall of the lock tabs, allowing the push bar to move past them. Once in place, the lock tabs hold the push bar, keeping the flexible legs compressed and locking the fastener securely.
