The anodizing clip includes an elongate body having inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface has teeth at either end. A flexible, strong elastic band has first and second ends removably secured to the body and sized to pass around a rack member of an anodizing rack. A workpiece is placed between the teeth of the body and the rack member and is held in place by the force of the elastic band. Insertion and removal of workpieces between the rack member and the teeth on the body of the anodizing clip is preferably accomplished using a release tool to gain a mechanical advantage.

Anodizing clip

A clip is disclosed of a type for securing workpieces to a bar forming part of a framework for suspending the workpieces in a bath suitable for anodizing or other electrolytic treatment of the workpieces. The clip has an elongated body with tapered engagement teeth at both ends thereof for arrangement adjacent the bath bar. A central portion of the clip body is adapted for engagement with a flexible band which is wrapped around the bar for resiliently urging the clip against the bar. In use, either end of the clip may be moved away from the bar, preferably by using a tool fitting into slots on the clip body for positioning a workpiece between either end of the clip and the bar. The clip is of a uniform cross-sectional configuration adapted for extrusion whereby a plurality of the clips may be formed by transversely cutting an extruded member conforming with the cross-section of the clip.
