Abstract
A wire retention clip for holding a wire or bundle of sires. The wire clip includes a retaining arm member and locking means attached to a base plate in a spaced relationship to each other. The retaining arm member includes a substantially tangentially extending press pad that extends in a direction towards the free end of the retaining arm, to ease the pressing of the free end of the retaining arm into the locked position and to cover the release lever of the locking mechanism to prevent inadvertent release of the retaining arm. The retaining arm member is further defined by its ends both tapering into a narrower middle section.
