  • Patent number: 5946778
    Abstract: A spring clip has jaws connected by a throat that provides spring action to urge the jaws together, and levers on each jaw that can be extended to provide a mechanical advantage for opening the jaws, or can be retracted so the levers are juxtaposed on the jaws. The jaws have bosses thereon, and openings are defined in the bosses for receiving the levers. The openings have tongues along their sides, and the levers define grooves along their sides so the levers can slide smoothly into and out of the opening. Detents provide stops at retracted and extended positions of the levers, and a screw riding in a slot provides a positive stop to prevent inadvertent removal of the lever.
