Abstract
A clip (100) includes a body (10), a handle (30) and a movable fastener (20). The body has a first end terminating in a supporting portion (16) and a second end terminating in a latching leg (14). The handle has a cam portion (32) supported on the supporting portion and a pivot axis (36) provided on the cam portion. The movable fastener extends through the supporting portion and pivotally couples to the cam portion. The movable fastener defines a slot (22) therein, and the slot starts from an entrance defined in an outer edge at a side of the movable fastener and extends in the movable fastener. The cam portion is pivotally connected to the movable fastener via the pivot axis sliding into the slot from the entrance. The handle is turnable relative to the movable fastener between a locked position and a relaxed position.
