ABSTRACT:
A clip of the present invention is used for supporting conduit and like members. The clip comprises first and second resilient arms for holding a conduit or like member therebetween. The arms have outer end portions bent to extend generally toward one another. The arms are resiliently biased toward a release position in which they are spaced apart and are resiliently movable against this bias to a first support position in which the arms are closer together with their outer end portions in overlapping relation and with the arms in position to embrace a conduit or like member of a first diameter, and from the first support position to a second support position in which the arms are even closer together and in position to embrace a conduit or like member of a smaller diameter. The outer end portion of the first arm has a detent thereon. The outer end portion of the second arm is formed and configured for engagement by the detent to releasably lock the arms in their first and second support positions. Movement of the arms is restricted as they move from their first support position to their second support position so that the detent cannot deviate from a path leading to the stated first and second locations, even if the arms are subjected to forces tending to cause deviation of the detent from the path.
