Abstract: The said industrial design consists of the shape, configuration and ornament of the design of a cable clip having a first member and a second member; the inner end sections of the first and second members merge into a pivot section having a generally cylindrical outer surface; the pivot section has flat end surfaces one of which has a cylindrical depression therein and a central short cylindrical projection situated at the base of the cylindrical depression;The first member curves away from the pivot section and merges into a short straight section which then bends into a curved tapered section which in turn merges into an outer end section; the first member has a generally H-shaped cross-section defined by an inner wall and an outer wall with an intermediate wall extending between the inner and outer walls in the portion of the first member from adjacent the pivot section to part-way along the curved tapered section of the first member; the intermediate wall has a central opening therein which extends the width of the intermediate wall and has short parallel sides and rounded ends; in an open position, the narrow curved outer end section of the first member has generally parallel side surfaces, a smooth curved inner surface and a serrated outer surface;the second member curves away from the pivot section and merges into a short straight section which in turn merges into the hollow outer end section; the second member has a generally H-shaped cross-section defined by an inner wall and an outer wall with an intermediate wall extending between the inner and outer walls in the portion of the second member from adjacent the pivot section to the hollow outer end section thereof;the hollow outer end section of the second member has a smooth curved outer surface, generally parallel flat side surfaces, a curved end surface and an elongated generally rectangular opening in the end of the outer end section facing the first member; the elongated generally rectangular opening is positioned and shaped to receive the narrow curved end section of the first member; the outer surface of the hollow outer end section has a generally trigger-like projection with a concave front surface and a sloped rear surface, the projection being situated adjacent the generally rectangular opening in the end of the hollow outer end section;in a closed position, the short straight sections of the first and second members are generally parallel and the tapered section of the first member extends into the generally rectangular opening of the hollow outer end section of the second member.Representations of the design are shown in the figures wherein:Fig. 1 is a left side perspective view of the design of a cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 2 is a right side perspective view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 3 is a right side elevation view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 4 is a front elevation view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 5 is a left side elevation view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 6 is a rear elevation view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 7 is a bottom view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position;Fig. 8 is a top view of the cable clip with the first member in an open position; andFig. 9 is a left side perspective view of the design of a cable clip with the first member in a closed position;Diagrams of the design are included.
