Abstract

See full text

A clip includes a resilient clip body and a pair of lever arms for opening and closing the clip body, which defines a chamber for retaining or bundling loose articles, such as cords. The clip body has a pair of lever contact zones disposed between a forward end portion and an arcuate rear portion, each of these zones and portions cooperating with the others to define the article-retaining chamber. The arcuate rear portion has a concave-inward shape and the forward end portion defines an opening at least when opened in response to an inward compressive force applied to the lever arms at a location spaced rearwardly from the lever contact zones of the clip body. Optionally, the resilient clip body defines an opening at the forward end portion, even when it is in a relaxed state, such as to facilitate selective removal of bundled articles from the chamber.
