Abstract
A clip to detachably grip fabric is comprised of a generally planar member. The member is formed with fabric engaging means adapted to grip the fabric. The fabric engaging means is, preferably, in the form of a plurality of sharp prongs that extend from one planar side of the member. The member is formed also with means for coupling a tensional force to the member. When a tensional force is applied or coupled to the member, the prongs are caused to grip the fabric firmly whereby the member becomes securely attached to the fabric.
Claims1
A clip to detachably grip fabric comprising a generally planar member, said member being defined, in plan view, by a broad leading portion and a relatively narrow trailing portion, said broad leading portion having a forward edge and a rearward edge, a plurality of pointed prongs integrally formed on said member and adapted to engage the fabric, said pointed prongs being positioned on said broad leading portion spaced from said forward and rearward edges thereof and extending from one planar side of said member, said pointed prongs being disposed in canted configuration so as to angle in a direction generally towards said trailing portion, a finger integrally formed on said trailing portion and extending minutely from the other planar side of said member, said finger being defined by a bend part rising minutely upwardly from the plane of said member and an elongated part having one end integral with said bend part and the other end oriented so as generally to point towards said broad leading portion, said bend part being disposed on said trailing portion spaced from said pointed prongs, said elongated part being disposed parallel opposed over, yet spaced from, said other planar side of said member, said finger being adapted to couple a tensional force to said member such that when the tensional force is coupled to said member, said pointed prongs securely grip the fabric whereby said member becomes firmly attached to the fabric.
