The fastener also includes means for disengaging the locking means so that the receptacle and clasp can be separated.

Buckle type fastener

A conduit restraining clip to snugly secure one or more axially aligned tubes, wires, lines, cords, hoses and the like, which may vary in bundle size, comprising a base with two side walls projecting generally vertically from its opposite edges and two pairs of spaced-apart arms projecting from the side walls into the interior of the clip and downwardly toward the base of the clip. The arms of the clip flex downwardly and laterally to enable the clip to receive conduits and the upper pair of arms and the lower pair of arms cooperate to cradle the clip's contents in suspended restraint. In one embodiment of the invention, the arms of the clip are equipped with overlapping projections which form an expandable central enclosure which is well suited for holding a plurality of small conduits. Clips according to the invention can be provided with affixing devices for securing the clip contents to another object.
