  • Patent number: 8256070
    Abstract: A split arm clip includes first and second arms that are connected to each other at a first end by an end section and which press against one another at a second end opposite the first end. The first arm is split into first and second arm portions that are substantially flush when the clip is a closed, in use state. The first arm portion is integrally connected to the end section and the second arm portion includes a lever that is adjacent the first arm portion and which does not extend past the end section. A hinge is disposed between the first and second arm portions along a pivot axis extending in a transverse direction of the clip parallel the end section. The pivot axis is disposed between the first and second ends inside of the clip such that a force applied to the lever urges apart the first and second arms at the second end.
