Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A clip is provided with first and second members to engage with opposing ends of a tile. The members are connected so as to be able to move relatively toward and away from each other so that detachable securement to the tile is possible. A constraint is provided to prevent substantial movement away from each other when attached to the tile.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A clip assembly for securing a body to a tile, said clip assembly including first and second portions adapted to be engaged with respective opposite ends of said tile; an elongated deformable member slidably engaging at least one of said first and second portions and interconnecting said first and second portions in such a manner as to permit said portions to move relatively towards each other to permit detachment from said tile said elongated member further defining constraining means operable to constrain said first and second portions against substantial movement away from each other whereby said clip assembly when engaged with said clip assembly when engaged with said tile may be prevented from detachment therefrom.
2.
A clip assembly according to claim 1, wherein said elongated member passes through an aperture in said first portion and wherein said constraining means are adapted to constrain movement of said elongated member through said aperture in at least one direction.
3.
A clip assembly according to claim 2, wherein said second portion includes a U-shaped member dimensioned for engagement with an end of said tile.
4.
A clip assembly according to claim 3, wherein said U-shaped member includes first and second legs adapted to be located on opposite sides of said tile one said leg including a said aperture therein adapted to adjustably receive said elongated member therethrough.
5.
A clip assembly according to claim 4, wherein said leg includes a plurality of aligned said apertures adapted to receive said interconnecting means therethrough.
6.
A clip assembly according to claim 5, wherein said apertures are defined by eyes in said leg.
7.
A clip assembly according to claim 4, wherein said elongated member is deformed by bending the opposite end thereof adjacent said aperture and wherein said body is secured to said tile by looping said opposite end about said body and securing said opposite end to a further portion of said clip assembly.
8.
A clip assembly according to claim 6, wherein said opposite end of said elongated member is twisted about an intermediate portion thereof
