ABSTRACT:
A clip for an airplane stringer supports wires, conduits and the like which are located in the fuselage. The clip has several embodiments for attachment to S-shaped or Z-shaped stringers. Those embodiments of the clip which are attached to S-shaped stringers each have a left end which fits over and around one end of the stringer, and a right end which includes a slot for receiving therein the opposite end of the stringer. The width of the slot is controlled by various mechanisms. The stringer end is retained inside the slot by a ledge or lip portion of the clip which lies over the stringer above the slot. The embodiment of the clip which is attached to Z-shaped stringers includes an upper element which is connected to a separate lower element by a bolt. The upper and lower elements fit about one end of the stringer in an interference fit.
