Abstract
A clip is provided for carrying articles and cooperates with system for engaging, disengaging and overlapping it. The clip is constituted by a thin piece of injected, stamped or moulded plastics material which is provided with a triangular opening which is itself open at a narrow slot in the center of the upper side of the clip and which may or may not have bosses to enable a regular spacing to be maintained between a number of clips which are carried by a storage rod before they are engaged onto a transfer or handling system. Such a clip is able to operate effectively with an engaging system which is formed by a dispenser and a member for thrusting the clip towards a system of abutments which thus enable the clip to move from a fixed support to a moving support. It is also to cooperate with a disengaging system having the structure of a forked cam which brings about the opposite movement, and finally with an overlapping system which enables the clips to be transferred from a low level to a high level or vice versa.
