ABSTRACT:
Clip has first and second elongate members, each with first and second opposing ends. The first ends of the members are in general registry, and the second ends of the members are in general registry. A pivoting spring connects the members under tension such that the members generally remain in a closed position with respect to each of their first ends and open with respect to each of their second ends. The members can be moved relative the pivoting spring such that the first ends are drawn open and the second ends are drawn to a more closed position. The first member has an attaching material thereon such that the clip can be attached to a suitable solid surface. In one case, the attaching material is non-magnetic. It may, however, be reversibly attaching, for an illustrative example, being part of a hook-and-loop material. The clip may contain advertisement or other indicia thereon. The clip may be attached to a passenger-carrying golf cart, and a golf score card can be protected from rain by providing the clip; attaching the clip to the underside of the passenger-carrying golf cart roof; and inserting the card into the clip for securing the card.
