Abstract: The safety clip contains two clip legs (11,12) between which a fabric (13) may be placed. One clip leg (11) is provided with a switch (15) whose actuator (16) is operated by the introduced fabric web (23). Bulges (19) provided around the movable actuator (16) ensure that a card cannot be slided between the clip legs to keep the actuator depressed while the fabric web (23) is being removed.
