Publication number: 20020071718Abstract: A retaining clip for attaching together two conduits comprising a spine member having a first end and a second end, a first set of pincer arms extending from the first end of the spine member, and a second set of pincer arms extending from the second end of the spine member. Once the first conduit is inserted within the second conduit, the first set of pincer arms attaches to the first conduit, and the second set of pincer arms attaches to the second conduit, thereby preventing the first conduit from separating from the second conduit. The retaining clip may be removed to separate the two conduits.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2001Publication date: June 13, 2002Inventors: Garry Marty, Darrell Scott Crowe
