<p>A nose clip is provided having a clip portion including two curved elongated arms and a curved bridge portion therebetween. The arms and bridge portion advantageously form a substantially C-shaped structure. Each of the arms includes a flexible joint region and a pad connected thereto. The joint region is structured so as to enable a wide degree of movement of the pad relative to another portion of the arm. The pads preferably have non-circular nose contact surfaces, for example, the nose contact surfaces of the pads may be substantially oval in shape. The nose clip includes two lever portions projecting from the clip portion which are structured such that moving the two lever portions toward one another causes the pads to be drawn apart from one another, for example, by a distance sufficient to facilitate placement of the nose clip on a nose of a human or animal. In one embodiment, nose clip is substantially entirely molded from a single material as a unitary structure and requires no assembly of parts.</p> |
