Abstract:
A snap-on clamp adapted to be removably connected to a part, the clamp including a U-shaped housing encompassing a space, the housing including a peak at a first end, a pair of side walls, each side wall extending from the peak and terminating at an edge, the pair of side walls cooperatively form two edges which define a mouth disposed at a second end opposingly disposed from the first end, the pair of side walls configured to be resiliently securable to the part. The two edges includes engaging surfaces urged towards one another and are configured to be removably coupled to the part when the clamp is urged with the mouth towards the part; and further including at least one protrusion disposed on at least one of the engaging surfaces, the at least one protrusion is configured to be lodged in a slot of the part.

Claim (Index 1):
A snap-on clamp system comprising:\n (a) a mixed-slot rail having a longitudinal axis, said mixed-slot rail comprising at least one keyed slot having a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in a direction transverse to said longitudinal axis and at least one slot having a rectangular cross-sectional shape in a direction transverse to said longitudinal axis, said trapezoidal cross-sectional shape is disposed in a manner such that its larger base is disposed on the bottom of said at least one keyed slot having a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape to prevent dislodgement of a similarly shaped pin disposed within said at least one keyed slot having a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape; and (b) a snap-on clamp adapted to be removably connected to said mixed-slot rail, said snap-on clamp comprising a U-shaped housing encompassing a space, said housing comprising a length, a height, a longitudinal axis disposed along the length, a peak at a first end along the height of said housing, a pair of resilient side walls, each resilient side wall extending from the peak and terminating at an edge, said pair of resilient side walls cooperatively form two edges which define a mouth disposed at a second end that is opposingly disposed from said first end along the height of said housing, said two edges comprise engaging surfaces urged towards one another, each of said engaging surfaces comprises a profile shaped according to the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of a rail style selected from the group consisting of Picatinny and Weaver and when said mouth is urged towards said mixed-slot rail, said mouth opens before closing to hug said mixed-slot rail to secure said mixed-slot rail within said engaging surfaces.
