Abstract
An integral clip and hanger including a pair of opposing jaws supported by support means pivotally coupled together, and further including a member for biassing the jaws together. The biassing member includes an elongated member pivotally attached to one of the support members and adapted to be disposed between the support means in a U-shaped curve to resiliently bias the jaws together. Two hooks are provided, one being attached to one of the support means, and another being between the support means.
Claims9
A clip comprising:
- a pair of opposing jaws;
- first and second support means, each having a first end attached to one of said jaws, and a second end distal to said jaw;
- means for coupling together said first and second support means in a pivotal connection to permit them to pivot with respect to each other;
- and
- an elongated member of resilient material pivotally attached to the distal end of one of said support means, said elongated member being adapted to be disposed between said support means in a U-shaped curve such that the closed end of the U-shaped curve is directed toward said coupling means and the open end of the U-shaped curve is directed toward the distal ends of the support means, whereby the elongated member abuts the respective first and second support means when disposed therebetween to urge said distal ends apart an urge said jaws together.
