Abstract:
A decorative removable lighting enclosed clip made for mounting a light to a support surface such as gutters, shingles or a building structure is disclosed. The clip may include an expandable bulb holder adapted to permit passage of a bulb that is larger than the resting diameter of the bulb holder. In some embodiments, the clip includes a slot that bisects a portion of the clip into sections that can flex away from each other, which enables the bulb holder to expand when subjected to a force. As a result, the clip may be installed with a decorative light strand without having to remove the bulbs from their sockets.

Claim (Index 12):
A clip comprising:\n a gripping section that includes at least a body and a cantilever rigidly coupled to the body, wherein the cantilever is resiliently capable of being pulled away from the elongated body to accommodate the positioning of a structure between the body and the cantilever, and wherein the gripping section is made from a substantially resilient material having a memory that causes the cantilever to return toward a relaxed position when not subject to a force; a substantially circular bulb holder rigidly connected to and extending from the gripping portion, wherein the bulb holder includes a hole having a first diameter and is adapted to receive at least a portion of a bulb; and a cutout extending from the hole and through at least a portion of the gripping section, wherein the cutout enables the hole to expand and permit passage of a bulb having a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter.
