Combination securing clips
A combination securing clip is provided that includes at least two different connectors each securable to a desired surface and a region securable to a conduit. The region can be directly and/or indirectly secured to the conduit. In some embodiments, the at least two connectors include two different types of connectors—and include a push-in connector and a slide-on connector. Thus, the combination securing clip can include a slide-on connector configured to slide on to a surface to secure the clip to the surface, a push-in connector configured to push in to an opening in the surface to secure the clip to the surface, and a directly and/or indirectly region securable to a conduit.
1. A combination securing clip, comprising:
a slide-on connector configured to slide on to a surface to secure the clip to the surface;
a push-in connector configured to push in to an opening in the surface to secure the clip to the surface; and
a region securable to a conduit, the region having a solid upper surface, wherein the slide-on and push-in connectors are formed by a pair of arms, each arm of the pair of arms comprising a barb angled in a direction away from a push-in direction and towards the region,
wherein the pair of arms define an inner open region providing the slide-on connector,
wherein each arm of the pair of arms further comprise a tooth in the inner open region, wherein the teeth are vertically and/or horizontally offset from one another,
wherein the teeth are angled in a direction away from a slide-on direction, and
wherein the teeth are cam surfaces to bias the pair of arms outward as the surface is slid into the inner open region in the slide-on direction.
2. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the region is integrally formed with a bundling strap or comprises a leg securable to the conduit.
3. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the region comprises an opening configured to receive a bundling strap.
4. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the region comprises an opening having a bundling strap received therein.
5. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the teeth are contact surfaces to aid in preventing the surface from being withdrawn from the inner open region.
6. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the pair of arms further comprise one or more stops, the one or more stops are angled in a direction toward a slide-on direction.
7. The combination securing clip of claim 6 , wherein the one or more stops comprise at least one stop on opposing arms that are vertically and/or horizontally offset from one another.
8. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the pair of arms define an outer region, the outer region providing the push-in connector.
9. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the one or more barbs are cam surfaces to bias the pair of arms inward as the push-in connector is pushed into the opening in the push-in direction.
10. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the one or more barbs are contact surfaces to aid in preventing push-in connector from being withdrawn from opening.
11. The combination securing clip of claim 1 , wherein the push-in and slide-on connectors and the region are integrally formed from a metal stamping.
12. A combination securing clip, comprising:
a region securable to a conduit, the region having a solid upper surface;
a slide-on connector configured to slide on to a surface to secure the clip to the surface; and
a push-in connector configured to push in to an opening in the surface to secure the clip to the surface,
wherein the slide-on and push-in connectors are formed by a pair of straight arms depending from the region so that an acute angle is defined between the region and the pair of straight arms,
wherein each arm of the pair of straight arms comprises a tooth, and
wherein the teeth are offset from one another.
13. The combination securing clip of claim 12 , wherein each arm of the pair of straight arms terminate at a barb that is angled toward the region and ends with a contact surface that prevents withdraw of the push-in connector from the opening.
