ABSTRACT:
A clip assembly for holding a towel, sheet or the like relative to an item such as a chair, table or bed so as to prevent undesirable movements thereof relative to such item due to wind, occupant movements, or tilting or upsetting of the item. The clip assembly in all forms has a clip having sections each having a handle at one end and toothed gripping formations at the other end, the clip sections being pivotally movable relative to each other about a pivot axis and being spring biased by a spring to continually urge the handles arcuately apart and the toothed gripping formations arcuately toward each other. The clip assembly is arranged to be able to be attached to a suitable portion of such item as well as to grip the towel or sheet material. One such arrangement has the clip sections so arcuately shaped between the pivot axis and the toothed gripping formations as to provide an opening in which a part of the item such as a bar can be received therethrough without affecting the operation of the handles and the toothed gripping formations. Others have a strap attached to only one of the handles and adapted to be looped around and fastened to a part of the item. The toothed gripping formations may be formed on internally extending cantilever supports positioned between and laterally spaced from the main bodies of the clip sections so as to provide a cantilever spring force together with the gripping force provided by the spring.
