Abstract

The unitary clip for a tray and lid of a waffle pack includes a lower expanse with two upwardly extending hooks. The hooks include upper oblique surfaces which extend upwardly and outwardly. The upper oblique surfaces are immediately upwardly adjacent from inverted ledges which engage complementary portions of the lid of the waffle pack. The lower expanse is bowed so as to form a central apex which engages the lower planar portion of the waffle pack. The clip is engaged and disengaged from the waffle pack by a simple up and down motion.
