Abstract:
A clip includes a resilient clip body and a pair of lever arms for opening and closing the clip body, which defines a chamber for retaining or bundling loose articles, such as cords. The clip body has a pair of lever contact zones disposed between a forward end portion and an arcuate rear portion, each of these zones and portions cooperating with the others to define the article-retaining chamber. The arcuate rear portion has a concave-inward shape and the forward end portion defines an opening at least when opened in response to an inward compressive force applied to the lever arms at a location spaced rearwardly from the lever contact zones of the clip body. Optionally, the resilient clip body defines an opening at the forward end portion, even when it is in a relaxed state, such as to facilitate selective removal of bundled articles from the chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A clip for bundled articles, said clip comprising:\n a resilient clip body having a forward end portion, an arcuate rear portion, and a pair of lever contact zones disposed between said forward end portion and said arcuate rear portion, wherein said arcuate rear portion has a concave-inward shape and said forward end portion at least selectively defines an opening; an article-retaining chamber defined by said arcuate rear portion and said pair of lever contact zones; and a pair of lever arms coupled to said clip body and having respective distal end portions extending rearwardly in divergent directions beyond said arcuate rear portion of said clip body; wherein said lever arms contact said clip body along respective ones of said lever contact zones, and are operable to move said forward end portion of said clip body to an open configuration upon application of an inwardly compressive force to said distal end portions of said lever arms toward one another, and wherein said forward end portion of said clip body is resiliently biased to a closed configuration upon release of the inwardly compressive force.
