ABSTRACT:
Three-piece clip comprises two plier-like lever members and a slat-like core member, all fabricated from flat sheet metal or plastic stock. The lever members have handle and jaw portions respectively, rearwardly and forwardly of a pivoted joint and are relatively movable between opened and closed positions in which a gap defined by lips of the jaw portions and controlling access to a hook space inside is enlarged and reduced. The core member, with a section of flexible sheeting material wrapped around it is inserted into the hook space between the jaw members in opened position and then closed by squeezing the handle portions together. Detent means between the rearward ends of the handle portions hold the clip in closed position. The detent means comprises a hook on the rearward end of one of the handle portions engaging the rearward end of the other handle portion. The handle portions with the hook is bowed to impart longitudinal springiness to it. The pivotal joint is a rockable connection between the two lever members provided by the handle portion of one lever member inserted through a slot in an intermediate portion of the other and held by a tang.
