The opposite end of the clip may be trifurcated or split into four or more clip portions to define the two different unloaded gap dimensions. The opposite end of the clip also may be at least trifurcated into at least three clip portions to define at least three different unloaded gap dimensions with respect to the weight. Five clip portions may define the three different unloaded gap dimensions. The clip is self-retaining in all instances.
