ABSTRACT:
The resilient clip assembly comprises a plurality of U-shaped clips which are held together by the two non-metal, elongate, flexible members which are securely and mechanically gripped between the metal on each side of each opening in the bight portion of each clip. The method for making the resilient clip assembly includes the steps of: punching clip blanks from a sheet of metal with each blank having two spaced apart openings punched through the metal in the area which will be formed into a bight portion of a U-shaped clip; folding or forming each clip blank around a mandrel to form a U-shaped clip with a bight portion and two leg portions; placing a plurality of the U-shaped clips in a line or row with the openings on one side of the clip aligned with adjacent openings in the adjacent clips to form an elongate trough and with the slot on the other side of each clip aligned with the adjacent slots in the adjacent clips to form a second elongate trough; placing a non-metal, elongate, flexible member in each trough; and sequentially pressing the side edges of the bight portion of each clip toward each other to crimp the plastic wires in the openings of the clip to form the resilient clip assembly.
