Removable clips for engaging apertures in a substrate
The patent US12042308B2 describes a system that includes a substrate featuring multiple apertures and a series of clips designed for secure attachment. The substrate is characterized by a first plurality of apertures arranged in a circular formation, with a second plurality of apertures located within this circular shape. The clips, which include a first, second, and third clip, are removably attached to the first three apertures, while a fourth clip connects to the inner apertures. Each clip is designed with a body and multiple fingers that create tube-engaging regions, along with resilient legs that facilitate engagement with the edges of the apertures. The clips are constructed from plastic material and are designed to maintain a tube in a coiled shape, with features such as notches to enhance their gripping capabilities.
Additionally, the system may include a tool clip that engages various portions of the substrate and is designed to accommodate a tool within its structure. The tool clip features curved fingers that create tool-engaging regions, allowing for simultaneous engagement with multiple edges of the substrate's apertures. The substrate can be made from various materials, including plastics and metals, and may also contain additional apertures for enhanced functionality. The design of the clips and the substrate aims to provide a versatile and efficient means of securing tubes and tools, with specific configurations that ensure stability and ease of use.
