Patent ID: 8341808

Claim:
A resilient clip member having a front end defining openable opposed jaws, a bridged back end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the front end and the back end, said resilient clip member having an upper longitudinally elongated finger gripping portion and a lower longitudinally elongated finger gripping portion extending from the bridged back end and diverging from each other in vertically opposed relation when viewed from the side, a narrow rectangular portion extending from a forward end of each finger gripping portion in laterally opposed crossed relation, an upper L-shaped jaw portion extending from said narrow rectangular portion extending from the lower finger gripping portion, a lower L-shaped jaw portion extending from said narrow rectangular portion extending from the upper finger gripping portion, each L-shaped jaw portion being wider than the narrow rectangular portion; each of said finger gripping portions being sufficiently resilient such that when pressed together by the fingers of an operator, said jaw portions will open and when released will be biased toward an abutted condition, wherein the bridged back end of the resilient clip member is formed from a pair of juxtaposed arcuate links, a slot being defined between the links, said slot extending across the bridged back end and partway down the finger gripping portions, said slot having a width dimension and being for receiving a post having an enlarged generally spherical head, the head of the post having a diameter which is slightly greater than the width of the slot, the pair of juxtaposed arcuate links resiliently separating sufficiently to permit passage of the head of the post.
