CLIP AND SUPPORT FOR ATTACHING A TRELLIS WIRE TO A POST

摘要

An injection moulded plastics clip (7) is provided for attaching a wire (17, 27), typically a trellis or fence wire, to a post (1) having elongate apertures (6) formed in a wall thereof. The clip has retaining formations including a generally elongate foot (10, 21) attached to the body by means of an integral connecting neck (9) that defines, with the body and foot, the inner ends of each of a deeper and a generally coplanar shallower groove (12, 14). The two grooves are oppositely directed away from each other such that the deeper groove accommodates a first end edge of an aperture in a post when the end of the foot associated with the deeper groove is passed through such an aperture to enable the opposite end of the foot associated with the shallower groove to be passed through the aperture. The second and opposite end edge of the aperture may then be engaged in the shallower groove whilst said first end edge of the aperture is still located within the deeper groove to thereby hold the clip captive relative to the post.
