Clip having a solid locking structure

Abstract

A clip includes two jaw portions having one end secured together with a coupling portion and having the other end for clamping onto a sheet material. One of the jaw portions includes a fastener extended through the other jaw portion, and engaged with such as a lock nut, for clamping and securing the jaw portions onto the sheet material. The fastener and the lock nut will not be easily disengaged from each other such that the jaw portions will not be disengaged from each other inadvertently. The lock nut includes a barrel engaged between the fastener and the jaw portion.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A clip comprising: 
 a first and a second jaw portions including a first end secured together with a coupling portion, and each including a second end for engaging with and for clamping onto a sheet material,    said first jaw portion including an aperture formed therein,    said second jaw portion including a first fastener member secured thereto and extended therefrom and extended through said aperture of said first jaw portion, and    a second fastener member engaged onto said first fastener member for locking said first and said second jaw portions together and for clamping and securing said first and said second jaw portions onto the sheet material.    
     
     
         2 . The clip according to  claim 1 , wherein said first and said second jaw portions each includes at least one tooth provided on said second end thereof for engaging with and for clamping onto the sheet material.  
     
     
         3 . The clip according to  claim 1 , wherein said first fastener member is a bolt extended through said aperture of said first jaw portion, and said second fastener member is a lock nut engaged onto said bolt.  
     
     
         4 . The clip according to  claim 1 , wherein said second fastener member includes a barrel engaged into said aperture of said first jaw portion and engaged between said first fastener member and said first jaw portion.  
     
     
         5 . The clip according to  claim 1 , wherein said second fastener member is a lock nut having an outer peripheral portion and having at least one flat surface formed therein for facilitating a rotation of said lock nut.  
     
     
         6 . The clip according to  claim 1 , wherein said coupling portion of said clip includes at least one orifice formed therein for receiving a cable.
