  • Patent number: 9903511
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a latchable plastic clip formed from a resilient main band body bent into a near closed “S” or “Figure 8” shape. The clip is useful when used in numbers for releasably suspending elongated objects such as wires, cords and hoses beneath and along supportive objects, such as rods, bars, railings, or pipes. It is also useful when used singularly for storing items such as ropes, straps, chains, harnesses, halters and reins by hanging them from support structure such as rods, bars, railings or pipes, coiling them first if necessary or desirable.

  • Patent number: 9232826
    Abstract: A generally “S” shaped clip is formed from a band of resilient material having a first end a second end. The clip has a front side and a back side. The front side of the “S” shape corresponds to the back side of the clip. The back side of the “S” shape corresponds to the front side of the clip. The clip has an upper end and a lower end. The band of material is doubled back on itself at the lower end of the clip in the direction of the back side of the clip to form a slot for receipt of a projecting edge of a hat. An upper portion of the clip forms a curved clasping arm for securing objects against a crown portion of a hat.

  • Patent number: 8341808
    Abstract: A clip has an opposed jaw end, a bridged back end and defines a slot extending across the bridged back end. It is connected to an article, for example, another clip or a float, which has an enlarged spherical head extending longitudinally therefrom. The head of the post has a diameter which is slightly greater than the width of the slot so that the connected item has rotational freedom of movement by receipt of the spherical head through the slot.
