ABSTRACT:
A device for clamping a tubular member such as the neck of a balloon in a clip having locking arms joined by a hinge comprising an open ended channel member for receiving a sequential chain of clips and a base member to which the channel member is secured, the base member being disposed to receive clips sequentially from the channel member and having a stop against which the lowermost clip in the chain is adapted to rest. Formed in the base member between said stop and the lower end of the channel member is a notch defined by cam surfaces leading to a narrow throat communicating with a larger opening. With a clip spanning the notch and resting against the stop, and the clip hinge facing the notch, a tubular member to be clamped is positioned in the interior portion of the hinge and forced downwardly with the clip through the throat of the notch, locking the arms of the clip with the tubular member clamped within the hinge, which may then be removed through the larger opening below the throat of the notch.
