fv1609 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Some kind of clip incorporating a "spacer"? Yes it is a clip but my interpretation of the four diagrams is that the main vertical element that curves back on itself is a part view of the thing that it is clipped to.

Minesweeper Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So it clips onto a paper or a file and the bit that is at perhaps 90 degrees to the main part is simply a "handle" to extract it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minesweeper Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well, it must be a clip for holding some part of a mechanism in place with a little "Handle" (being the bent-back bit) to hold on to, to extract it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 are they a type of Bull dog clipWally its not a variable clip like that for stationery. It's fairly precise & is pretty much a snap fit or wedge in tight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I'm sure most of us have encountered these at some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes well interpreted but it not so much for a part of a mechanism, really something rather mundane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minesweeper Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So there must be a series of adjacent holes that it can be pushed into - and you chose the one that you want to hold the object in the correct position. What size is it? That would help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size is it? That would help!No holes, bear in mind that I think the main vertical bit is just a sectional view of a tiny part of the very much bigger thing the clip attaches to. The clip's dimensions are not given but the ones I have seem might be 1-2 cm long & probably no more than 1 cm wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 are these the clips that you use to hold head and sidelight reflectors in place before sealed beam units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 are these the clips that you use to hold head and sidelight reflectors in place before sealed beam unitsWally a very good suggestion, I know the things you mean. They can be devils to fit sometimes especially when I realise I've got one the wrong way round. So it's very much that sort of thing for use on a circular edge.

Degsy Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 They look like clips/runners to hold curtains /material to a rail, are they for hanging camouflage material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 They look like clips/runners to hold curtains /material to a rail, They do indeed look like that sort of thing Derek. But these should remain static in use & probably only 3 or 4 used per item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 are they cilps used to hold the tin lid on things like paint I was wondering that. They either hold the vertical thing up or push down on something. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done you must have opened a few tins of paint your time at Beverley.:-D These requirements accord with BS 1262 'Tins for paints and varnishes' published in Defence Specification DEF-1234. It may surprise some as this was an MoD publication from 1954, not 1964 when the MoD is often thought to have been formed :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
