Abstract

A fastening clip device which includes a resiliently deformable U-shaped clip having two legs connected by a base. An arc-shaped tongue originating from one of the legs has a free end which can exit through or co-operate with the edge of an opening. By virtue of this construction, the clip is maintained open before clipping and allowed to close after clipping.
