  • Patent number: 5331725
    Abstract: A clip is adapted to hold a pair of cylindrical members in spaced juxtaposition. The clip comprises an integral body defining a pair of internal circular recesses, a central chamber connecting the recesses, and an opening permitting ingress into the central chamber. The opening has a width less than the diameter of each of said cylindrical members intended to be held therein. The diameter of each recess is slightly less than the diameter of the cylindrical members. When in the recesses, the pair of members are in substantially tangential contact. This orientation of recesses, internal chamber, and opening provides compound forces and plural flexures necessary to overcome in order to attach the clip to the cylindrical members or to detach it from them. This permits the clip to be made more flexible while maintaining a high ability to hold the cylindrical members within the clip.
