<p>A clip system (10) for holding a parallel member (16) in place against a jaw (12) of a vice head (14a) comprises a pair of specially configured clip members (22, 34) adapted to releasably engage a notched slot (32a, 38a) formed along the side edges of the jaw on the rearward surface thereof, or on an adjacent retaining plate (20). Each clip member is integrally formed having a hook section (22b, 34b) inwardly disposed at an intermediate position along its length to engage the notched slot in a forwards direction and a cap section (22a, 34a) inwardly disposed at the forward end of the clip member to clamp flush against the parallel member (16) and hold it firmly against the jaw when the hook section is engaged with the notched slot. The clip members are further formed each having an outwardly disposed leg section (22d, 34d) adapted to deflect in a forward direction thereby releasing the clip member from engagement with the notched slot and allowing removal of the parallel member.</p> |
