  • Publication number: 20050108860
    Abstract: A child safety clip which consists of two elongated, opposed legs adjoined by a bridging section. Each leg provides a loop which may be opened or closed by a latch or clasp mechanism. Also, if the user desires to open or close either loop of the legs without using the latch or clasp mechanism such as through the application of pressure or force, the child safety clip is designed to succumb to the pressure or force and permit the latch or clasp mechanisms to open and the loops of the legs to bend or flex, thereby, releasing the item to the user held by the loops. The child safety clip is made of a material having a memory to return the clip to its original shape for continued use.
