A wire-receiving terminal 1 extends so that there may be no voltage loss between from an edge of the base 5 between the resilient the wire-receiving terminal and an article to be arms 6-6, in my preferred form, in a direction retained by the clip device, the aforesaid voltage relative to the base, which is substantially op- 10 loss being a common fault of clip devices now posite to that taken by the arms 6-6. An aper- 10 known in the art in which the wire-receiving terture I (Fig. 6) may be provided near an end of minal is a separate piece with the article-retainthe terminal 1 whereby a wire (not shown) may ing portion of the device. be soldered to the terminal. As a means for at- A further object of my invention is to provide taching my p device 110 a Supporting p I attaching portions as an integral part of the clip have provided lug portions 8-8 which are formed 15 device providing a means for securing the device entirely from material of the respective arms to asupporting part. 6-6 and which ext-end from the base 5 in sub- Other objects of my invention will be apparent stantially the direction en by the terminal I from inspection of the drawing and the specifica- (Fig. 7)- The apertures 9-9 in the arms (Fi tion hereinbelow set forth. 7), which are provided through taking material 20 Referring to the drawing, in which I have ilfrom the arms to form the lugs Perferms a lustrated a preferred form of my invention: useful function in that they serve to increase the Figure 1 is a top plan view of a pair of my imres e cy f t e armsproved clip devices secured to a supporting part Assembly o my p device With e pp t and carrying between them a fuse member; part is a relatively simple matter and is carried 25 Fig.2 is a front view of the installation shown out through movin the clip device toward the in Fig. 1; support so that the base 5 abuts the support with Fig. 3 is a section taken along the line 3-3 of the w -r v terminal 1 extending thr u h Fig. 2; an aperture IU of the support and the lug por- Fig. 4. is an end view of the installation shown t s 8 xt d t u t p ur s 3 to in Figs. 1 and 2; a position beneath the support.
