Festooned trim clip system and method for attaching festooned clips to a substrate

The present invention provides the clip which can carry out [group] -izing to festoon type composition and with which it is single or plurality was connected. That is, a plurality of clips are arranged together, and it is made an individual assembly along an extension, and is it, An operator or the automated control means can take out a group, you can make it able to separate a clip one [at a time] from the group at once, and it can attach to a forming cavity or other assembly structures the clip made to separate. Each clip can include the base which has an opposite end which intersects the extension direction of the connection segment between the clip members which aligned in the extended direction and were connected (when it exists). According to the embodiment illustrated, the end of these bases contains the male type connector and female-die connector which make the opposite end of each other. According to this embodiment, it is a cylinder which has an axis which a male type connector intersects the extension direction and is prolonged, and a female-die connector demarcates the inside diameter of the suiting cylinder which can store a male type cylinder. A gap opening is provided in the far edge of a female-die connector, and the clearance for the base which connects a male type cylinder to the base end of a clip member is provided. A size setup can be carried out so that this gap may enable angle rotation of the prescribed range within the female-die connector of a male type connector. A clip can be pulled out as a group which can keep it as a separate group accumulated into the container, or continues from a spool. [Chosen drawing] Drawing 4
