The clips assemble side ways at 90 degrees to each other, unfortunately I don't find a video anywhere maybe I'll make one when one "when I get time." :-?
In the context of this thread you would use them to attach/detach the jib halyard so that it can be remove once hoisted leaving only a pigtail to tension the jib downhaul. The pigtail (perhaps just 18" long) is then cleated off to a clam cleat at the tack of the sail (usually), but some folks (you gotta really want to) run the pigtail (extended) up to the tramp so that the jib downhaul can be dynamically tensioned while on the water.
