  • Patent number: 6261026
    Abstract: A clip for mounting panels and doors to indexed poles utilizes a resilient C-shaped pole receiving member with an interiorly-directed ridge centrally located along the inner perimeter thereof. The interiorly-directed ridge is received in any desired unoccupied annular groove along the indexed pole. The clip further utilizes first and second opposing panel interface members that extend in one direction from the exterior of the C-shaped pole-receiving member. A raised button or projection extending from a first panel interface member toward a second panel interface member may be provided to secure a panel between the two panel interface members. Use of the clip allows mounting and dismounting of panels to indexed poles, such as the indexed poles found in shelf organizing systems, without the need for tools. By utilizing clips along only a single edge of a panel, each of the clips can serve as a hinge and the panel as a door member.
