What's the correct name for this?

[Bert Coules]

What's the proper name for those sprung-metal clips which can hold posts or tubes or similar circular cross-section objects? Dreadfully rough sketch of what I mean:

thanks.

Bert

[Graham.]

Terry Clip.

[Bert Coules]

Thank you! Most of my efforts to find out by Googling lead me to video clips of underground trains...

It's only a matter of time before Google will recognise your pencil sketch.

[Tim Streater]

Good pencil sketch, btw.

[Bert Coules]

Thanks. Though it occurred to me after I uploaded it that the arrow is going the wrong way: the tube should move into the clip on the wall, not the other way around.

Ahh, but you could be removing the tube and not installing it. In which case you were correct.

[Bert Coules]

Which was of course my intention all along. Thanks.

Bert

[Adam Funk]

Yes, I immediately recognized exactly the part the OP had in mind --- and had no idea what it was called either. Oh well!

[Graham.]

But there must be loads of examples where the clip is on the moveable part, and the tube is fixed.

Kick-boards and furniture carcase legs?

[ARWadsworth]

So Bert has been correct twice:-)

[NT]

also sold as tool clips

[The Medway Handyman]

If you want them in bulk

[Bert Coules]

In one day? That's a first.
