I need a few of these clips and have no idea what the heck they are called. The problem is that no one else knows either. No one knows what they are called or where they come from, they simply exist (until you actually need one).

Does any one know what the bloody hell these things are called or where I can get a few?

Thanks.

Of the gazillion websites out there, I just spent a few minutes looking for this and came up with the same link!

That is...

No, sorry, I meant no one here (in my immediate area) knows what they are. I went to several different stores and no one knew what the name was or where to find them.

Now I know what they are and where to get them, thank you.
