Patent attributes
A plastic clip comprising two jaws united at one end by a hinge permitting them to swing between open and closed positions. The hinge may suitably be of the box type including a hinge blade associated with one jaw that is mounted between opposed cheeks associated with the other jaw by a hinge pin received in an elongated bearing opening in the cheeks, and along which the pin may travel to adjust the nip of the jaws. A spring latch at the opposite end of the jaws preferably permits a plurality of latching positions so as to permit the nip of the jaws at that end to be varied. The elongated bearing opening may permit the assembly of the jaws even where the box structure is relatively rigid and where the pin is integrally formed with the hinge blade.
