Clip apparatus

An improved clip apparatus for affixation to a stack formed of one or more layers of substantially planar material, said clip apparatus comprising:

• a clip member, including
• a first contact portion, and
• a second contact portion arranged in internesting relation to the first contact portion,
• the first and second contact portions being operably associated with one another so as to be resiliently displaceable in angular relation to one another, so as to enable insertion of the stack between the angularly displaced first and second contact portions, such that the first and second contact portions will engage the stack therebetween in a biased gripping manner;
• means for removably engaging at least one layer of the stack, at positions substantially remote from the clip member, for resisting dislodging of the clip member from the stack, the means for engaging at least one layer of the stack being operably associated with the clip member;
• and
• means for interengagement of the clip member with the means for engaging at least one layer of the stack, operably associated with the means for removably engaging at least one layer of the stack, and operably configured so as to preclude separation of the clip member from the means for engaging at least one layer of the stack,
• said interengagement means being further operably configured so as to maintain at least a portion of said means for removably engaging at least one layer of the stack in a substantially fixed, stable orientation relative to the clip member.
