At one end there is provided a lip surrounding the bore. The lip acts as a catch. An elongate shaft is received by the bore and is spring loaded to partially retract into the hollow body member. The shaft extends from the hollow body member outwardly beyond the lip.
To hold an object, one end of a curved lip is hingedly mounted to the shaft outside the body member. The clip hingedly rotates between a closed position, where a free end of the clip is held by the lip of the body member, and an open position, where the free end is unconstrained from rotating away from the lip. When an object held by the clip is tugged, the shaft extends releasing the free end of the clip from the lip.
