  • Utility clip
    Patent number: 9924786
    Abstract: A utility device includes a base tapered at an edge and a clip. The clip includes a hook, and when in a closed position, the hook fits into a recess of the clip and is unable to receive an object. However, in an opened position, the hook is pivoted away from the clip and is able to receive an object. An abutment prevents the hook from opening further than the opened position. The clip further includes a channel with overhangs and retainers that prevent an attached corresponding rotatable attachment piece from detaching from the channel. The corresponding rotatable attachment piece may attach to the channel and rotate within the channel. However, a first and second set of stoppers limit the rotation of the corresponding rotatable attachment piece within the channel. Further, the utility device may include a slot offset from the base to receive a corresponding fixed attachment piece.
