Abstract

Abstract 853,558. Clips. STANIFORTH, E. Dec. 2, 1958 [Dec. 7, 1957], No. 38110/57. Class 44. A spring clip for supporting plants &c. comprises a length of springy material, e.g. steel wire, bent so as to have a main portion 10, preferably a small coil 11, and outwardly-curved ends 12, 13, the end 13 being bent out of the common plane of the end 12 and the main portion 10 so that, when inwardly-directed lateral pressure is applied to the portion 10, the end 13 overlaps the end 12 and, when the pressure is released, the end 13 passes under the end 12 to interlock therewith and to form a loop for engaging a support. In a modification, Fig. 9 (not shown), the coil 11 is directed inwardly of the portion 10. Specification 718,321 is referred to.
