Abstract: A safety clip is designed for a vehicle emergency brake system having a stem extending from a braking mechanism and ending in a knob, and a releasable locking mechanism for maintaining the stem in an extended position during braking. The safety clip includes a resilient, generally C-shaped sleeve having an opening and a pair of circumferentially spaced wing members extending from said sleeve at a location approximately radially opposite from said sleeve opening. In a normally closed position, the sleeve is capable of frictionally engaging the stem when the stem is in its extended position. In a distended position, the sleeve is capable of removal from the stem. In operation, compressing the wing members urges the sleeve to a distended position.
