ABSTRACT:
A fastening clip for mounting paintings and the like which comprises a piece of spring material, having two substantially opposing pincers which are adapted for clamping something between them, a connecting part extending from the first pincer to the second pincer and including a spring loop, which extends from the second pincer, with the feature that the spring loop is extended in a general direction substantially orthogonal to an imaginary plane in which the pincers move towards and away from each other. Preferably the spring loop is located on one side of the imaginary plane in which the pincers move and a remainder of the connecting part is located on the other side of the imaginary plane so as to lead to one pincer located with regard to the other pincer in such a way that springing open of the spring loop moves the pincers towards one another.
The spring clip can be of narrow width, in which case one or more can be clipped onto each edge of a picture or the like. Or, the spring clip width can be increased to the point where it equals the length of a side of a picture or the like to which it is to be applied. Then the spring clip serves as a frame and can be mitre jointed. The spring clip is preferably extruded in plastic and supplied in long lengths from which clips of any width can be cut.
