NOT SURE WHAT APPLICATION THESE ARE DESIGNED FOR, I GUESS ANYWHERE YOU NEED A QUICK STRONG ATTACHMENT, LIKE A SUN SHADE, OR?? What are sister clips?The generic sister clip is used for joining to an identical sibling clip. They are interlocking clips that are twisted to lock in place or seal. Sister clips are sometimes known as Inglefield clips, and potentially even a brummel hook. Each clip looks like a link of a chain, in that it has a split through one side.They slightly resemble part of those annoying metal puzzle games you get in your stocking at Christmas. The edges of the split are purposeful, and are there so that the sister clips can be engaged or disengaged as required. This procedure requires careful alignment by hand. When pulled tight, the sister clip links are securely fastened.Sister clips were invented for the purpose of flag raising by Lietenant Edward Fitzmaurice Inglefield (see where the other name for them came from). He invented them in the early 1890s whilst serving on HMS Melita. The first ever set of sister clips were born in Malta. By 1985 these clips were standard issue to the Royal British Navy and are still in incredibly heavy usage today with little change to the basic design.
