<p>The clip (10) includes two locking arms (26,28) with proximal segments (30,32) joining the outer periphery, distal segments (42,44) forming a tube pocket (70), and hinge elements (34,36) between the proximal segments (30,32) and the distal segments (42,44). The distal segments (42,44) include outwardly turned locking elements (46,48). An interior frame (50) joined to said outer periphery includes locking pockets (57,59) complementary to the locking elements (46,48). A tube pocket (70) is formed between the distal segments (42,44) of the locking arms (26,28) and a portion of the interior frame (50). As the distal segments (42,44) of the locking arms (26,28) flex outwardly in response to the insertion of a tubular element, the outwardly turned locking elements (46,48) are urged into the locking pockets (57,59). <IMAGE></p> |
