Abstract
Abstract A C-shaped clip is disclosed for securing webbing to tubular framework. The clip is of resilient hardenable material and includes a plurality of teeth extending inwardly in a row at the extremity of each of the longitudinal sides. One end of a strip of webbing is inserted within the clip and impaled upon the prongs of one row. The webbing is then extended in a bight over the extremity of the clip and then along the outside of the clip. The clip and webbing is fitted onto the tubular framework such that each of the rows of prongs engage the tubular framework and the remaining portion of the clip is adjacent the tubular framework. The webbing is then wrapped about the clip, a portion of the exposed tubular framework and thence across the open space intermediate the framework. The force exerted upon the webbing disposed across the framework is translated to a force acting upon the rows of prongs to imbed them within the tubular framework, whereby the clip is inhibited from rotating and will securely fasten the webbing to the framework.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A webbing attachment clip for securing webbing to a tubular framework, said clip comprising: A. an arcuate segment having a constant radius extending through an angle materially greater than 180*, said segment being formed from a sheet of resilient metallic material; the opposite end edges of said segment being bent inwardly normal to said segment thereby forming a flanged portion at each end, each flange portion being aligned with a radial of the arc of said segment, each flanged portion including a plurality of cut-out prongs along the free edge, said prongs being short, rigid, and pointed at their ends; whereby, a strip of webbing, formed in a bight over one end and around said clip to extend from the other end, is secured to the tubular framework by said clip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A webbing attachment clip for securing webbing to a tubular framework, said clip comprising: A. an arcuate segment having a constant radius extending through an angle materially greater than 180*, said segment being formed from a sheet of resilient metallic material; the opposite end edges of said segment being bent inwardly normal to said segment thereby forming a flanged portion at each end, each flange portion being aligned with a radial of the arc of said segment, each flanged portion including a plurality of cut-out prongs along the free edge, said prongs being short, rigid, and pointed at their ends; whereby, a strip of webbing, formed in a bight over one end and around said clip to extend from the other end, is secured to the tubular framework by said clip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
An attachment clip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said prongs comprise adjoining triangular-shaped teeth.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
An attachment clip as claimed in claim 1, wherein the material of said segment is of hardenable material, whereby deformation of said prongs is inhibited.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
An attachment clip as claimed in claim 3, wherein said prongs have sharp right angle edges for embedding in the tubular framework.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
175 words
A piece of furniture, said piece comprising in combination: A. a tubular framework; B. a plurality of strips of webbing material, said strips extending across selected parts of said tubular framework; and C. a plurality of clips for securing the ends of each said strip to said tubular framework, each of said clips being formed of an arcuate segment of resilient sheet material, each said arcuate segment extending for an angle materially greater than 180* the opposite end edges of said segment being bent inwardly normal to said segment thereby forming a flanged portion at each end, each flange portion being aligned with a radial of the arc of said segment, each flanged portion including a plurality of cut-out prongs along the free edge whereby, each said strip being formed in a bight about the prongs and flange portions of one end of said segment and wrapped around the periphery of said segment is secured to said tubular framework by said prongs of each said clip being bitingly engaging smooth portions of said tubular framework.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
175 words
A piece of furniture, said piece comprising in combination: A. a tubular framework; B. a plurality of strips of webbing material, said strips extending across selected parts of said tubular framework; and C. a plurality of clips for securing the ends of each said strip to said tubular framework, each of said clips being formed of an arcuate segment of resilient sheet material, each said arcuate segment extending for an angle materially greater than 180* the opposite end edges of said segment being bent inwardly normal to said segment thereby forming a flanged portion at each end, each flange portion being aligned with a radial of the arc of said segment, each flanged portion including a plurality of cut-out prongs along the free edge whereby, each said strip being formed in a bight about the prongs and flange portions of one end of said segment and wrapped around the periphery of said segment is secured to said tubular framework by said prongs of each said clip being bitingly engaging smooth portions of said tubular framework.
