Photographic film clip

A clip for use primarily to suspend in the air a wet strip of recently processed photographic film to facilitate drying of the film, said clip comprising:

• a pair of body members hingedly connected together in a facing relationship, each said body member having a fore end and a rear end with said fore end and said rear ends respectively being adjacent each other, said body members being movable in respect to each other between a closed position and an open position;
• a first projection formed on each one of said members in the area of said fore end, each said first projection having an irregularly shaped outer surface, said irregularly shaped outer surfaces of said first projections cooperating together in a mating relationship when said body members in said closed position;
• said body members being continuously spring biased toward said closed position;
• said body members being identical in configuration but being located in mirror image relationship with respect of each other;
• said entire clip being constructed of non-corrosive materials to thereby not be effected by the chemicals used in the processing of photographic film;
• serrations formed on the outer surfaces of each of said body members in the area of said rear ends, said serrations to facilitate a manual gripping of said body members to effect movement of said body members to said open position;
• at least a single second projection located on each of said body members in the area of said rear ends, each said second projection extending toward the other of said body members, each said second projections to contact the other of said body members when said body members are in said open position to therefore prevent further opening movement of said body members;
• and
• third projections formed on each of said body members in the area of said fore ends, each said third projection extending toward the other of said body members, said third projections being located directly adjacent each other to therefore provide lateral stability for said body members during movement of such between said open and closed positions.

• and
• a slot formed within the said rear end of each said body member, the inner end of each of said slot being slightly enlarged, whereby the said slots of each said body members are to cooperate together to support said body members on a wire or string.
