Versatile solutions with clips: clever fastening for different requirements

Clips are an important element when it comes to secure and reliable fastening systems. Gudo AG has developed various clips that are suitable for different purposes. This article gives you an overview of the areas of application for clips and the models we offer. 

How do clips work and what are they used for?

Clips are used to hold cables, toothed belts or textile straps securely in place. The clip clamps the cable, belt or strap. This also allows the length to be changed flexibly. 

The clips from Gudo AG are used in the following products, among others: 

• Shoes 
• Helmets 
• Orthoses 

Thanks to their high-quality workmanship, they are reliable components that guarantee maximum safety. 

The combination of clip and Timing belt or textile strap ensures that shoes have a firm hold on the foot. This is particularly important for ski and safety shoes. In both cases, it is extremely important that the shoes sit firmly on the feet. If this is not the case, it can be potentially dangerous. 

Helmets also need to fit securely, as otherwise they can lead to hazardous situations. This applies to both bicycle helmets and safety helmets worn by police officers or firefighters, for example. 

Orthoses must also sit firmly on the part of the body that they are intended to support - such as the knee or Ankle joint. This is the only way to effectively relieve the joint. The combination of clip and strap or band makes it possible to fix the orthosis in place. It therefore fulfills its purpose perfectly. 

Which clips are in the Gudo AG portfolio?

• Design 
• Width of the attachable straps or belts
