ABSTRACT:
An improved sheet metal clip is interconnected in a collated stack of clips with a plastic rope inserted within side slots on each side edge of each clip. Each clip is generally U-shaped having a crown portion with a pair of parallel spaced leg portions depending from the crown portion. The rope is inserted within the side slots formed in the side edges of each clip. The preferred embodiment of the improved clip includes crown slots which are inwardly extending from each side edge of the crown portion. The rope can be retained within the slots by deflecting tabs on each lateral side edge of the crown portion to enclose the rope within the side slots. The collated stack of clips interconnected with the plastic rope of the present invention provides the needed flexibility and tensile strength for use in manufacturing applications and does not detrimentally affect the operation of the clip in clamping wires and springs together.
