Zusammenfassung:	A ratcheting clip (10) includes a center section (15), a male end (20) and a female end (30), the female end (30) having a top half (32) and a bottom half (31). The male end (20) is configured to be inserted into the female end (30) between the top and bottom half (32,31) so that opposing sets of teeth (25,35) hold the male end (20) and female end (30) together. To prevent inadvertent disengagement of the opposing sets of teeth (25,35), the male end (20) includes a retaining surface (50) that is configured to interface with a track (40) disposed in the top half (32) of the female end (30). Once the male end (20) is inserted into the female end (30), the interface between the retaining surface (50) and the track (40) prevents lateral forces from causing one end to move in a lateral direction with respect to the other end. The interface between the retaining surface (50) and the track (40) further prevents the top half (32) from being lifted upward away from the male end (20).
