invention and therefore the mechanism 26 may be configured similar to that disclosed in u s pat no 5 604 959 proximate to the connecting portion 28 of at least one of the clip body components 22 24 is a necked portion or necked region 30 the necked region 30 is sufficiently thin and flexible enough to enable the clip body component 22 or 24 upon which it is located to hinge at the necked region 30 once the clip 20 is assembled as shown in fig3 this necked region 30 effectively allows the clip 20 to open and close enabling movement between a latched and an unlatched position formation of the clip 20 is accomplished when the connecting portions 28 of each clip body component 22 and 24 are fastened in some manner to one another resulting in the creation of a rigid configuration or connection 32 to better enable the necked region 30 to hinge properly at the rigid connection 32 the components 22 and 24 may be constructed so as to possess added thickness and rigidity at the connecting portions 28 further the necked region 30 may be made sufficiently thin so as to flexibly hinge between the connecting portion 28 and the remainder of the clip body component 22 and or 24 this arrangement moves the latching mechanism 28 toward and away from a clip open and a clip closed.
