Abstract

Abstract A fastener clip for fastening round stock to support bodies including an integral base and a pair of side walls defining a U-shaped fastening space. Elastically spreadable insertion walls are connected near their outer ends by easily bendable hinge strips to the side walls and extend into the fastening space in a V-shape fashion. Bosses on the side walls adjacent the hinge strips and slightly spaced from the hinge strips prevent outward pivoting of the insertion walls. A fastener foot on the base allows the clip to be fastened to a support body.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 167 words
A fastener clip constructed of a hard elastic plastic operable to fasten round stock such as tubing or cable conduits onto support bodies, said fastener clip including a base provided with a fastener foot, two side walls formed integral with said base and defining a generally U-shaped fastening space having an entry aperture, and elastically spreadable insertion walls angled inwardly from the side walls and extending into the fastening space forming an approximate V-shape and substantially covering the entry aperture, characterized in that the insertion walls are connected adjacent their outer ends at their lower sides to the side walls by short, easily bendable hinge strips, said side walls projecting approximately parallel to the outer ends of the insertion walls beyond the junction site of the hinge strips, said side walls including bosses at their outer free ends slightly spaced from the hinge strips, said bosses extending almost to the lower side of said insertion walls to prevent outward or upward pivoting motion of the insertion walls.
