Abstract
This device is an adjustable clip to clamp materials together or onto other objects that are flat on at least two polar opposing faces. The device simply makes it possible to increase or decrease the distance between the open end of its' two opposing jaw structure components by using a connecting joint mechanism. This connecting joint mechanism located at the back end of each clamping jaw structure is able to be modified manually without the need of any tools. The object of the adjustable clip device is to provide the user with a range of selectable jaw positions in order to clamp, fasten or pinch varying thicknesses of materials. It is also an object of the adjustable clip to provide such versatile sizing options which are simple and convenient for the user to employ.
Claims5
The adjustable clip is a clamping fastener with two opposing jaws wherein the improvement comprises a unique interposing joint mechanism allowing for the distance between the open end of the jaws to be manually increased or decreased without the need for tools. This device is made for use on a variety of different clamping, fastening or gathering scenarios wherein the device for clamping is adjustable to provide sufficient tension force so that flat faced materials that are gathered will remain clamped tightly and in order. said adjustable clip comprising:
- (a) two elongated legs each have an open end with an inward face and further wherein the grabber means a set of ridges extending substantially horizontally across each inward face at the open ends of the elongated legs and
- (b) a unique connecting joint mechanism wherein the elongated legs are joined at back ends of the opposing jaw structure as best seen in FIGS. 1,5, 9 and 12 and
- (c) further wherein at least one of the two elongated legs have a distal end with a grabber means for gripping the gathered material.
