Patent ID: 7267788

Claim:
A tool for creating a fastener receiving cavity within a foam filled structure having a panel provided with a slot for receiving the fastener and a foam backing that is cast in place on the underside of the panel, comprising: a clip for insertion into the slot prior to the casting in place of the foam, said clip having legs joined by a hinge portion so that the legs are moveable between a closed together position permitting insertion of the clip into the slot and a spread apart position to occupy space on the underside of the panel that would otherwise become filled with foam, and a plunger for insertion between the legs to occupy the space between the spread apart legs that would otherwise become filled with foam, said plunger being removable after the foam is cast in place so that the legs can be moved to the close together position and the clip removed from the slot, whereby a fastener receiving cavity is provided in communication with the slot for receiving the fastener; and said plunger having end caps at each end thereof to engage with the legs to close off the space between the spread apart legs.
