7958605, Jun 14, 2011

Filed:

Jun 11, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/137031

Inventors:

Michael A. Greco - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

B65D 71/00

US Classification:

24288, 206159, 294 872

Abstract:

A cap clip for fastening caps together is realized employing pressure type pincer snaps, allowing complex geometrical shapes to be formed while reducing the use of fasteners. In one embodiment, the cap clip includes a generally triangular base and three pincer snaps formed integrally with the base along the outer perimeter. Preferably, each pincer snap is comprised of a pair of convex walls and a shared clasping section lying along a radius of curvature path that are co-centric.

Abstract:

A cap clip for fastening caps together is realized employing pressure type pincer snaps, allowing complex geometrical shapes to be formed while reducing the use of fasteners. In one embodiment, the cap clip includes a generally triangular base and three pincer snaps formed integrally with the base along the outer perimeter. Preferably, each pincer snap is comprised of a pair of convex walls and a shared clasping section lying along a radius of curvature path that are co-centric. In another embodiment, each pincer snap includes a single convex plate and concave walls of a twin clasping section consisting of two triangular sections with a spacing centrally disposed therebetween. Each triangular section has two outer concave walls extending vertically upward away from the base, and joined laterally to each other along a corresponding rounded edge. Alternatively, concave plates may be used, with a recessed channel formed between each of concave plate and corresponding concave walls of said clasping section for securing the cap therebetween.
