Abstract

A removable clip for holding a slip of paper or the like identifying a person or object or describing the history or certain features of an object, the clip comprising a stationary portion having a planar projection and defining a deep bay, and a movable clamp attached to the stationary portion, there being a piece of tape or like adhesive coated sheet applied against the projection and extending into the bay so that the clip can be repeatedly adhered to and removed from the lapel of a suit, a shirt, a piece of equipment, or the like, without damaging the surface to which it is adhered and permitting the replacement of the adhesive sheet as the adhesive weakens so that the effectiveness of the clip is perpetual.
