Abstract
A clip attachment system and method of manufacture can include: a proximal end; a first prong and a second prong, the first prong and the second prong extending from sides of the proximal end; a proximal extension extending from a middle portion of the proximal end between and spaced apart from the first prong and the second prong, and the proximal extension extending further from the proximal end than all portions of the first prong and the second prong that are in direct contact with the proximal end; a first intermediate extension extending from the first prong toward the second prong and a second intermediate extension extending from the second prong toward the first prong; and wherein the first prong terminates in a first curved end that extends toward and is spaced apart from a second curved end of the second prong.
Claims18
A clip attachment system comprising:
- a proximal end;
- a first prong and a second prong, wherein the first prong and the second prong extends from sides of the proximal end, angling away from each other and tapering toward the proximal end, and the first prong and the second prong having terraced grooves circumscribing and forming a stepped appearance to an outer surface of the first prong and the second prong;
- a proximal extension extending from a middle portion of the proximal end between and spaced apart from the first prong and the second prong;
- a first intermediate extension extending from the first prong toward the second prong and a second intermediate extension extending from the second prong toward the first prong;
- and
- wherein the first prong terminates in a first curved end that extends toward and is spaced apart from a second curved end of the second prong.
A method of manufacturing a clip attachment system comprising:
- forming a proximal end;
- forming a first prong and a second prong, wherein the first prong and the second prong extends from sides of the proximal end, angling away from each other and tapering toward the proximal end, and forming the first prong and the second prong having terraced grooves circumscribing and forming a stepped appearance to an outer surface of the first prong and the second prong;
- forming a proximal extension extending from a middle portion of the proximal end between and spaced apart from the first prong and the second prong;
- forming a first intermediate extension extending from the first prong toward the second prong;
- forming a second intermediate extension extending from the second prong toward the first prong;
- and wherein forming the first prong includes forming the first prong terminating in a first curved end that extends toward and is spaced apart from a second curved end of the second prong.
