Abstract: A clasp structure that is integrally molded is provided and comprises an actuating lever portion, an upper clasping portion, and a lower clasping portion. The actuating lever portion is arcuate in shape and divided at an apex into an upper actuating portion and a lower actuating portion. The upper actuating portion is provided on its internal wall surface with a lower clasping portion. The lower actuating portion also joins with an upper clasping portion on the internal wall surface. The upper clasping portion attaches at one end to the lower clasping portion and extends obliquely at the other end for a certain length and then forms a horizontal clasping surface. Likewise, the lower clasping portion connects at one end to the upper actuating portion of the actuating lever portion and extends inclinedly downward at the other end for a proper length and then forms a horizontal clasping surface that rests on the horizontal clasping surface of the upper clasping portion.

Abstract: A clip for releasably maintaining articles clipped together has a resilient narrow tether headed at opposite ends with a first resilient clip connected at a rearward end on the headed portion at one end of the tether and a second resilient clip connected at a rearward end on the headed portion at the opposite end in axially opposed relation. The first and second clips each have a pair of longitudinal finger gripping portions extending outwardly from their rearward end in a spaced apart relation and a pair of abutting jaw portions at a forward end thereof. The finger gripping portions are sufficiently resilient such that when pressed together by the fingers of the operator, the jaw portions will open and when released will be urged toward the abutted condition.
