Clip assembly with positive locating features

A clip assembly configured for attachment to an axially elongated tubular member in a manner limiting axial and rotation movements of said clip assembly relative to said elongated member, said clip assembly comprising:

• a sleeve having an opening extending lengthwise therethrough, with said sleeve and said opening being configured such that an inner surface of said opening fits about and grippingly engages an outer lengthwise portion of said elongated tubular member, said sleeve being adapted and configured to be positionable along the length of said elongated tubular member when fitted about said elongated tubular member;
• a clip having a fastening portion and an attachment portion, with said fastening portion of said clip being configured to attach said clip to a support, and with said attachment portion of said clip including first and second sections which combine with each other to accommodate and compress said sleeve therebetween, said clip being adapted and configured to apply the only outside compressive force to said sleeve to effectively position said sleeve on said elongated tubular member;
• and
• wherein said sleeve and the attachment portion of said clip define cooperating instrumentalities which relate to each other, after said sleeve grippingly engages said elongated tubular member and after said sleeve is inserted and compressed between said first and second sections of the attachment portion of said clip, to permit and control axial and rotational movements between said sleeve and said clip so as to allow said clip to be adjustably positioned relative to the support and thereby providing a positive locating feature between said sleeve, said clip, and said elongated member.
