ABSTRACT:
A one-piece wire retainer clip comprises a first tube axially slidable onto and frictionally engageable with a threaded stud on a structure. A pair of resiliently movable spaced-apart legs are connectd to the first tube and define a wire-receiving slot having an opening on one side through which wires are laterally insertable into the slot. A second tube is axially aligned with and slidable manually onto the first tube. A slot closure plate is connected to and movable with the second tube. Releasably interengageable latches are provided on the legs and on the slot closure plate. A frangible web connected between the tubes initially maintains the second tube in an open position wherein the closure plate is spaced from the slot opening. The web remains intact as manual force is axially exerted on the second tube to force the first tube onto the stud. Then, the web fractures, the second tube telescopes onto the first tube, the closure plate is moved to a closed position wherein it blocks the slot opening, the latches interengage to lock the closure plate in closed position. The latches are releasable to allow the closure plate to be returned to open positon for wire removal and to allow removal of the second tube so the first tube can be pulled off the stud.
