Abstract
An integrally formed clip comprises first and second engaging legs for engaging with a socket, a folded first squeezing portion for exerting an inward squeezing force, a folded second squeezing portion opposing the first squeezing portion for exerting an inward squeezing force and a downward pressing force, and a curved spring portion. The first squeezing portion includes an outside face upwardly extending from the first engaging leg and an inside face connected with the spring portion. The second squeezing portion connects to an opposite end of the spring portion and is L-shaped, comprising a vertical first folded section accepting an inward squeezing force and a horizontal second folded section for accepting a downward pressing force. The second engaging leg depends downward from the second operation section. Alternatively, the first squeezing portion can be identical to the second squeezing portion.
