ABSTRACT:
A clip comprising a female member and a male member, with the female member having a plurality of resilient divisions, with the end of each division pressing radially inwardly, and in which the male member has a head portion that radially outwardly flexes said divisions, a small diameter portion integrally associated to the rear of the head portion that does not radially outwardly flex the divisions, and a large diameter portion integrally associated to the rear of the small diameter portion that can engage with the ends of the divisions to thereby hold the divisions in a radially outwardly flexed state, and the small diameter portion is also provided with ribs which can be received in the dividing slits used to form the divisions in the female member. As the insertion of the head portion proceeds, a cam surface on a cutaway portion formed on the head portion enables the projections of the divisions to be guided into position on the side of the ribs, whereby the ribs can be located in the slits by slightly rotating the male or female member.
