Patent ID: 7922219

Claim:
A connecting clip for connecting two members to each other at apertures through the two members, the connecting clip comprising: a first section comprising a general ring shaped portion forming a hole, a first stationary projection extending in a first direction from the general ring shaped portion at a rear side of the general ring shaped portion, and a single movable second projection connected to the general ring shaped portion by a first living hinge, wherein the general ring shaped portion is adapted to extend inside at least one of the apertures, wherein the first stationary projection extends from a top wall of the hole, wherein the second projection extends from a bottom wall of the hole, wherein the second projection extends more than half a height of the hole, wherein the second projection is movable to a deployed position extending out of the hole with an end of the second projection extending in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction, and wherein the hole extends in a third direction substantially perpendicular to the first and second directions; and a second section movably connected to the first section by a second living hinge, wherein the second section comprises a pushing portion adapted to push against the second projection when the second section is moved from an open position to a closed position to thereby move the second projection to the deployed position, and wherein the pushing portion forms a finger recess adapted to allow a user to insert a finger into the recess from a front side of the second section when the second section is in the closed position.
