Connecting clip

A connecting clip for connecting two members to each other at apertures through the two members, the connecting clip comprising:

• a first section comprising a general ring shaped portion forming a hole, a first stationary projection extending in a first direction from the general ring shaped portion proximate a rear side of the general ring shaped portion, and a movable second projection connected to the general ring shaped portion by a first living hinge, wherein the second projection is movable to a deployed position with an end of the second projection extending in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction;
• and
• a second section movably connected to the first section by a second living hinge, wherein the second section comprises a pushing portion extending from a face of the second section, wherein the pushing portion is adapted to push against the second projection when the second section is moved from an open position to a closed position to thereby move the second projection to the deployed position;
• wherein a hinge axis of the first living hinge is substantially orthogonal to a hinge axis of the second living hinge, and wherein the first direction is substantially parallel to the face of the second section when the second section is in the closed position such that the first stationary projection extends from the general ring shaped portion in the direction substantially parallel to the face of the second section when the second section is in the closed position.

A connecting clip for connecting two members to each other at apertures through the to members, the connecting clip comprising:

• a first section comprising'a general ring shaped portion forming a hole, a first projection extending in a first direction from the general ring shaped portion proximate a rear side of the general ring shaped portion, and a movable second projection connected to the general ring shaped portion by a first living hinge, wherein at least a part of the general ring shaped portion is adapted to extend through the apertures of the two members, and wherein the second projection is movable to a deployed position with an end of the second projection extending in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction;
• and
• a second section movably connected to the first section by a second living hinge, wherein the second section comprises a pushing portion adapted to push against the second projection when the second section is moved from an open position to a closed position to thereby move the second projection to the deployed position, wherein the second section comprises a latching and unlatching system adapted to latch and unlatch the second section with the first section, wherein the latching and unlatching system comprises a cantilevered deflectable snap-lock latch connected to a finger operated lever by at least one deformable leg, and wherein the cantilevered deflectable snap-lock latch is adapted to extend inside the hole formed by the general ring shaped portion.
