The present invention provides a fastener (100) formed from sheet material for securely joining two articles together. The fastener comprises: a first clip portion (10) comprising at least a pair of opposed first jaw members (11, 11') adapted to receive and retain part of a first article there-between; and a second clip portion (20) comprising at least a pair of opposed second jaw members (21, 21') adapted to receive and retain part of a second article there-between. The second jaw members (21, 21') are integral with and extend outwardly from one of the first jaw members (11') such that the first clip portion (10) and the second clip portion (20) are disposed at an angle to one another. Preferably, the second jaw members (21, 21') extend outwardly from a distal or end region (14) of said one of the first jaw members (11'). Typically also, the second jaw members (21, 21') are laterally offset from one another. The invention furthermore concerns a method of manufacturing such a fastener. |
