Patent ID: 7887112

Claim:
A food clip comprising: (a) a first arm; (b) a second arm, said first arm and said second arm being elongated so as to provide a handle region and a grasping region, said first arm and said second arm each having a top edge, a front edge, and a bottom edge along said grasping region, said first arm and said second arm each having an upper extension extending substantially perpendicular and inward from said top edge and said second arm having a lower extension extending substantially perpendicular from said bottom edge towards said first arm; and (c) a hinge disposed between and attached to said first arm and said second arm along said handle region, said hinge being a block of material which is deformable or compressible when a force is applied thereon yet sufficiently resilient so as to return to its original shape when said force is removed, said block being nearly as wide as said first arm and said second arm and disposed between said handle region and said grasping region, said hinge shaped so that said grasping region is normally closed and open when said force is applied onto said hinge via said handle region, said grasping region presses against and nearly surrounds an extension from a food item when said first arm and said second arm are closed.
