Claim Text:
1. A clip formed from a polymeric material for removably assembling and orienting a stack of sheets by sliding the clip over a corner of the stack, the stack having sides and planar surfaces, the clip comprising: a pair of spaced apart framing segments oriented substantially perpendicular to the planar surfaces so as to contact the sides of the stack and limit horizontal movement of the sheets, one framing segment on either side of the corner, after the clip is slid fully over the corner; and a first surface pressure member with first surface segments connecting the first surface pressure member and first ends of the spaced apart framing segments and a second surface pressure member with second surface segments connecting the second surface pressure member and second ends of the spaced apart framing segments, a length of each pressure member connecting to respective surface segments being substantially perpendicular to the framing segments, the pressure members applying pressure to the planar surfaces when the clip is fully slid over a the corner of the stack, wherein when the clip is in use, a tip of the first surface pressure member is bent towards a first planar surface so that the first surface pressure member applies pressure to a first point near the corner of the stack, wherein a tip of the second surface pressure member is bent towards a second planar surface so that the second surface pressure member applies pressure to a second point farther from the corner of the stack than the first point and wherein the first point and the second point are disposed on opposite sides of an imaginary straight line drawn between and intersecting the framing segments.
