ABSTRACT:
An improved clip system is disclosed for holding parallels in place against the respective jaws of a vise. The clip system comprises a pair of specially configured clip members adapted to releasably engage a retaining plate mounted flush between the jaw and the vise, the retaining plate being formed having a slotted tab extended from either side of the plate for engaging a respective one of the clip members. Each clip member is integrally formed having a hook section inwardly disposed at an intermediate position along its length to engage the slotted tab in a forwardly direction and a cap section inwardly disposed at the forward end of the clip member to clamp flush against the parallel and hold it firmly against the jaw when the hook section is engaged with the slotted tab. The clip members are further formed each having an outwardly disposed leg section intended to deflect in a forward direction thereby releasing the clip member from engagement with the retaining plate and allowing removal of the parallel.
