Abstract

A wire clip is constructed as a one piece flexible elongate plastic molded strip having a central loop-shaped wire retaining portion and an attachment means for fastening its two ends in unison to a workpiece surface. Each end has a slot extending crosswise to the length of the elongate plastic molded strip; the open end of the two slots face in opposite directions. The ends are assembled together with their slots in alignment. The two ends are formed with slanting complementary surfaces which mate together to provide a sliding wedge action as a fastening pin is driven therethrough.
