ABSTRACT:
This invention most generally relates to a clip mechanism assembleable to the back-side of an ornament member, most preferably jewelry objects or fanciful buttons and the like, to be displayed by removable attachment to clothing mainly through "button-holes" and used, for example, as tuxedo-studs, cuff-links, lapel-pins, etc. The clip mechanism may also be used with hooks or posts upon which may be placed, or hung, tools, pictures, or articles for display. The clip mechanism is removably insertable into a mounting hole or peg-board hole and because of the particular design of the clip mechanism will support the article hung on the hook or post. The clip mechanism is removable with a pulling force in a direction opposite the direction of insertion of the mechanism. More particularly the clip mechanism comprises, preferably, a pair of wire springs, each of which exerts an outward force, and a yoke with integrated internal cams, which cause an inward motion of at least one leg and foot portion of each of the spring members. In the "pinched" or stressed position, herein also referred to as the closed or inserting or vertical position, the springs are nearly parallel to each other. In the relaxed position, herein also referred to as the normal or closed or horizontal position, the springs assume a horizontal and opposing position thereby locking through a garment's material.
