DRIVE
July 30, 2025
The present invention provides for a support clip (200) for two or more tubular components, comprising a first resilient outer frame member (203) coupled to a central support member (204), adapted to resiliently engage an opposing surface of at least one external structure; at least one second resilient outer frame member (202a, 202b) coupled to the central support member opposite the first resilient outer frame member, having a first and second lateral frame portion (206a, 206b) arranged laterally opposite each other about the central support member, adapted to resiliently engage an opposing surface of the at least one external structure; a first open-ended sleeve member (212a) and a second open-ended sleeve member (212b), each one arranged between the first resilient outer frame member and a respective one of the first and second lateral frame portions and comprising a first end portion (214a, 214b), connected to the first outer frame member, and a second end portion (210a, 210b), connected to a respective one of the first and second lateral frame portion, the second end portion is circumferentially spaced apart from the first end portion about a respective one of the first and second open-ended sleeve member; a first and second spring member (208a, 208b), each one operably coupled between the second end portion of a respective one of the first and second open-ended sleeve member and a respective one of the first and second lateral frame portions, adapted to resiliently urge the second end portion towards the first end portion upon engagement between the first and second lateral portions and the at least one external structure. The first outer frame member is adapted to resiliently urge the first end portion of each of the first and second open-ended sleeve members towards the second end portion upon engagement between the first outer frame member and the at least one external structure.
