  • Patent number: 6481811
    Abstract: A furniture clip includes a mounting member, two clip arms, and a securing member that extends in a direction generally perpendicular to that of the first clip arm and that is adapted to secure the clip to the fixed frame of a cabinet or set of drawers. The clip arms are each attached at one end to the mounting member and are designed to contact opposing surfaces of a movable member such as a door or drawer. The second clip arm will exert a force onto a movable member that is enough to secure the movable member against the first clip arm. The clip arms extend in a direction generally parallel to one another, thereby forming a gap between them. The gap has a portion that tapers from wide to narrow with increasing distance from the ends of the clip arms that are attached to the mounting member, and towards the free ends of the clip arms, the gap may also taper out again from narrow to wide to facilitate attachment and removal of the clip from a movable member.
