ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a clip arrangement for fixing a strip to a structure. Clip arrangements of this type are used, in particular, for fixing decorative strips, in particular decorative strips as a window surround, in vehicles.

A disadvantage in these arrangements can be that the force for applying a decorative strip increases with increasing depth of fixing which can lead to damage to the strip or makes automation of the handling process difficult.
