Abstract
A clip is disclosed herein which is composed of a resilient material and comprises a body having the following elements as in a relaxed state: opposing first and second ends, of which the first end is open to define a first slot, and the second end is closed; a first aperture adjacent to and communicating with the first slot, the first slot having a width less than the diameter of the first aperture; a second aperture adjacent to the second end; and a second slot extending between and communicating with the first and second apertures, the second slot having a width less than the respective diameters of the first and second apertures. The body of the clip is capable of deformation to temporarily increase the widths of the first and second slots for (i) receiving a pair of elongated member portions (i.e. electric cord portions) in respective first and second apertures, and for (ii) removing the clip from such elongated member portions.
