Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a clip consisting of a clamp and an actuating member for closing the clamp by spreading two parts of the clamp by spreading the two parts of the clamp against the action of a elastic means.
  • Such a clip is known from patent CH 631 520.
  • This clip consists of a clamp in two articulated parts and held open by the action of a spring in hunting horn.
  • the clamp can be closed by a cam secured to a lever.
  • the cam actuating lever In the closed position of the clamp, the cam actuating lever is located in the extension of the clamp, because the clip is intended to be mounted on suspenders or belts or to hang clothes or paper.
  • the manufacture of such a clip requires the assembly of the clamp and the spring, operations which are not easy to carry out automatically and which have a significant effect on the cost price of such a clip.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a staple of the same type but of considerably simpler manufacture and notably comprising no spring.
  • the clip according to the invention is characterized in that the clamp and the elastic means are in one piece having two clamp branches connected to their base by a thin part forming an elastic hinge and, on the other side of this part thin, a cylindrical housing, of circular section or not, parallel to the thin part, open laterally according to a generatrix opposite to said thin wall, and intended to receive the actuating member of the clamp.
  • the clip according to the invention therefore consists of only two parts, the clamp and the actuating member.
  • the actuating member can be a simple pin or a cam secured to a radial arm for its rotational drive.
  • the clip according to the invention can not only be used to hold flat and thin objects together, but also as a support for an object intended to be temporarily fixed on another object.
  • the clip can be provided with a watch which can thus be quickly and removably attached to clothing, a bracelet or the like.
  • this arm can serve as a support for the clip, making it possible to place the watch in an oblique position on a table.
  • the clip shown in FIG. 1 consists of a clamp 1 and an actuating member 2.
  • the clamp 1 is in one piece, made of injected synthetic material such as nylon (registered trademark) or polyester or polyamide loaded with fibers. It has two gripper arms 3 and 4 parallel and provided on their opposite face with roughness 5 and 6. The two arms 3 and 4 of the gripper are connected, at their base, by a relatively thin part 7 which can flex elastically. On the other side of this thin part 7, the clamp has a cylindrical housing 8 extending parallel to the part 7 and open laterally according to a slot 9 extending along a generatrix opposite to the part 7. The cylindrical housing 8 is therefore itself limited by two arms 10 and 11.
  • the actuating member 2 is constituted, in this first embodiment, by a cylindrical pin provided with a frustoconical end 12 and a radial short arm 13 at the other end.
  • the diameter of the pin 2 is slightly greater than the diameter of the cylindrical housing 8 of the clamp.
  • the pin 2 spreads the two arms 10 and 11 limiting the housing 8, which has the effect to bring the arms 3 and 4 of the clamp together as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the pin 2 is removed by its arm 13.
  • the clip can be used to support an object, for example a watch 14 whose the outline has been shown in phantom in Figure 2.
  • the second embodiment shown in Figures 4 to 7 comprises a clamp almost identical to the clamp 1 of the first embodiment. It differs from it by a branch 4 ′ shorter than branch 3 and by a housing 8 ′ of oval section.
  • the ends 15 and 16 of the cylindrical housing 8 ′ have a larger section than the rest of the housing.
  • the actuating member of the clamp consists of a cam 17 in the form of a cylinder with an oval section approximately identical to that of the housing 8 ′ and the ends 18 and 19 of which are slightly larger in section and are housed in the ends 15 and 16 of the housing 8 so as to axially lock the cam 17 in the housing 8 ′.
  • the cam 17 is provided with a radial arm 20 having a bent portion 21 extending parallel to the cam 17.
  • This clip can also carry an object, for example a watch 14.
  • the arm 20 can also be used as a support to keep the watch in an oblique position, placed on a table as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the clip according to the first or second embodiment, provided with a watch can be fixed to any flat object or part of a flat object and of adequate thickness.
  • the watch can be pinched on a piece of clothing, for example on a pocket, on a shirt or on a jacket lapel. It can also be attached to a key ring with a tongue or to a lace to be worn around the neck, for example. It can in particular be worn on a bracelet, as shown in FIG. 9, which makes it a wristwatch or on the cuff of a shirt, as shown in FIG. 10, which makes it a wristwatch without bracelet . Note the very small part laterally projecting from the bracelet, respectively the cuff.
  • the clip according to the invention equipped with a watch or not, can of course be used quite simply as a clip for holding sheets together, for example banknotes.
  • the clip can of course carry any other object of adequate size such as compass, medal, photo holder, etc.
  • the clip could be made of metal, in particular by injection of an aluminum alloy.
  • the section of the actuating cam and the section of the housing of this cam could be other than oval.
  • cylindrical is taken in its most general geometrical sense, the section of the cylinder possibly being circular or not.
