Sorry about the terrible picture, but it gives you the idea. Seems pretty secure to me.

Thanks a lot chaps... My wife was shown some of these at school many years ago and they were described as cycle clips as worn by the teacher's grandfather. Thanks for the link telling me the date of the patent. I saw the Ebay ad, but missed the writing on the metal case that says...
