  • Patent number: 4838451
    Abstract: A clip for securing sheet material to a rod. The clip includes a body which has a central portion that contains a channel having an opening which is deformable to enable a rod to pass through the opening to be seated in the channel. The clip further includes gripping means which comprises a pair of substantially parallel legs in the body extending in the same direction and disposed laterally outwardly of the central portion and spaced from the central portion by slots. In operation, the clip is attached to a rod by passing the rod through the channel opening and seating the rod in the channel.
