Clip for attaching a fly tyer's vise to a steering wheel or other suitable structure (the "EZ Clip")

Abstract

The subject invention relates generally to devices for facilitating the temporary attachment of objects to a steering wheel and has particular reference to a device for removably attaching a fly tyer's vise to a steering wheel or other suitable structure. The preferred embodiment consists of a flat strip of metal bent into the shape of a "U" or a "V" and treated so as to achieve a non-skid, protective surface. Several rubber "spacers" may accompany the device for adaptation to structures smaller in diameter than the standard boat or automobile steering wheel; the device sides may also be indented or expanded to obtain a more secure fit. The device is sufficiently wide to accommodate an optional variety holes and notches for holding fly tying equipment. A piece of impressionable, foam rubber-like material can be attached to the device for stowing completed flies. The device is slipped around a steering wheel, open end facing out. A standard fly tyer's vise can then be attached to the steering wheel by tightening the vise grips around the exposed ends of the device. The device should be of sufficient length such that a fly tyer's vise attached to the lower portion of a steering wheel does not encounter the upper portion of said steering wheel.
