Abstract
A connecting clip has a clip arm and two clip legs extending from the clip arm. Pivot eyes are formed at the free ends of the clip legs with the pivot eye axes substantially parallel to the clip arm. In order that the combining clip be held with several others in a heap-like arrangement and be mounted automatically, the clip arm is bent with its free end on the same side of both of the clip legs and the clip legs are formed with enlargements lying approximately opposite each other in the plane of the clip legs. These enlargements are formed by a pair of bent portions, preferably opposing indentations directed toward each other. The indentations are conformed for engagement by a gripper with which the combining clip can be automatically mounted.
