ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a resilient clip for supporting elongated articles such as cylindrical and ribbon-like electrical conductors, and the like. The invention disclosed includes a base member which may be secured to a support by an adhesive and/or a retaining fastener. The base has an integrally formed flexible arm extending upwardly therefrom which superimposes the exposed side of the base. The free end of the arm has a hinged connection and a pressure plate integrally formed therewith, with the hinged connection interposed between the end of the arm and the pressure plate. The pressure plate position when the clip is relaxed, normally is adjacent to and substantially parallel to the base. The hinged connection at the free end of the arm is formed by a reduction in the thickness of the material adjacent to where the arm attaches to the pressure plate. The end of the arm and the pressure plate are deflectable outwardly away from the base and the pressure plate is pivotable relative to the end of the arm to permit an article or articles to be inserted between the plate and the base. The pressure plate, when clamping plural or flat ribbon-like articles, will self-adjust to exert an equalized pressure to each article at the point, or points where the article engages the plate.
