Abstract
A clip is described for securing a strap to a housing having a slot for receiving the clip and a feature near the slot. The clip comprises a tab, a loop and a cover. The tab is shaped to fit in the slot on the housing. The loop defines an opening to receive a strap, at least a portion of the loop extending away from the housing to provide clearance for the strap. The cover is shaped to fit over the feature when the tab is inserted in the slot, the cover extending at an angle to the tab. In another embodiment, a clip is described as comprising a loop and tab. The loop defines an opening to receive a strap. The tab is shaped to fit in a slot on a housing, the tab having a first end attached to and spaced from a first edge of the loop, a second end of the tab extending in the same general direction as the loop, wherein the gap between a portion of the loop closest to the second end of the tab and the second end of the tab is less than the gap between the first edge of the loop and the first end of the tab such that when the tab is pressed into the slot, the second end of the tab is flexed away from the second end of the loop.
