  • the invention has for its object a bracket for Clamping of flat material layers to create the easy to use, for different stack thicknesses can be used and holds the sheet layers securely. Nevertheless, the bracket should be able to be released again.
  • the invention provides a bracket with the features mentioned in claim 1. Further developments the invention are the subject of dependent claims, the Wording as well as the wording of the summary Reference is made to the content of the description.
  • the clip proposed by the invention is somewhat similar a piece of a u-profile that has a certain length having. Then between the two legs Sheets of paper inserted.
  • the locking leg gives way when Pushing in the paper or in other words when pushing it on the clip on the sheets of paper so that the Sheets of paper are inserted until the web is reached can. Pulling out the sheets or pulling out the Clamp from the stack is made difficult by the locking leg.
  • a stack of sheets of paper can be developed according to the invention be provided that the inside of the free end at least one leg of the clip is chamfered is, preferably the inside of the free ends of both Leg. This makes it easier to push onto a stack and in this way improves the applicability when one takes into account that not all sheets of paper on the edge lie close together.
  • the bracket can be constructed so that the The web and the legs are essentially the same width everywhere are.
  • both legs approximately are the same length.
  • the width of the bracket and the length of the Thighs can also be approximately the same.
  • the locking leg touches the opposite leg.
  • the opposite of the locking leg Leg has a concave recess.
  • This deepening is concave only in one direction, so the area of the Depression is cylindrical. This deepening enables Can also accommodate thick stacks of paper without interference of the locking leg.
  • the locking leg approximately in the middle between the web and the free end of his leg is molded onto this.
  • the locking leg having the Bracket has a film hinge that is approximately in the middle arranged between the web and the free end of the leg is. This allows the clip to be pushed both before being pushed open swing onto a stack of paper as well as peel off.
  • the locking leg between the film hinge and the free one End of the leg is formed on this, preferably immediately adjacent to the film hinge.
  • the locking leg is over the Raise at the front edge of the recess and over the paper stack pushed over so that a clearly tangible The stack of paper is locked. For thick stacks the locking leg can be released from the stack in this way become.
  • the clip can be designed in this way be that the free end of the locking leg when pivoting around the axis of the film hinge on a circle is moved, the inner contour of the opposite Thigh of the clip penetrates. In this case the opposite legs of the clip laterally when folded dodge.
  • the invention can be used be provided that between the free end of the Locking leg opposite leg and the increase a ramp is formed in front of the recess.
  • the ramp is preferably only arranged on one side, since the Invention in training suggests that the increase too the concave recess should be designed to drop steeply can, preferably the front of the undeformed Brace legs tangent to the drop in elevation runs.
  • the invention proposes the clip in one piece made of plastic manufactured by injection molding. According to the invention be provided in training that the bracket is demolded when warm. This leads to that the clamp contracts when cooling, so that one can reach a large clamping force.
  • the bracket can thereby be designed very flat, since it is possible to Interior between the two legs with those to be held Fill in the forms almost completely.
  • the clip can be slipped onto sheets without opening them to have to.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of those proposed by the invention Bracket, that is, towards the edge of the Sheets of paper to be clamped with the clip.
  • the clip contains a first leg 1, which on one Web 2 is formed, which is approximately at right angles to leg 1 runs.
  • a second leg 3 is formed on the web 2, which runs approximately parallel to the first leg 1 and also has approximately the same length. Seen from the side the bracket has approximately the shape of a U.
  • the free ends 4, 5 of the two lie Legs 1, 3 at a point with a certain distance from the free ends to each other or just have one close distance.
  • the inside of the free ends 4, 5 both legs 1, 3 are to form an insertion facilitating sloping surface 6 beveled.
  • a locking leg 7 integrally formed, which is from the leg 1, on which it is molded, obliquely in the direction extends to the opposite leg 3 and the web 2.
  • the free end 8 of the locking leg lies with short distance in front of the inside 9 of the opposite Leg 3. Direct contact is also possible.
  • a field 10 In the area of the free end 4 of the upper leg in FIG. 1 is a field 10 with narrow ribs on the outside educated.
  • the ribs are perpendicular to the paper plane and form a field that is easier for a user to touch. They also serve to close the side of the bracket Mark which is considered the front.
  • the bracket shown in Fig. 1 in the undeformed state can be placed on the front edge of a stack of paper sheets 11 be pushed on, with the legs 1, 3 facing outwards spread to allow insertion of the stack of paper.
  • the paper stack is inserted so far that its Front edge 12 on the inside 13 of the web 2 of the clip comes to the plant. This inside is in side view straight or flat, so that all arches of the Stack 11 can be inserted equally far.
  • the locking leg 7 swings somewhat, so that the paper between it and the inside 9 of the opposite Leg 3 can be pushed.
  • Fig. 2 in which a stack of paper to is inserted on the inside 13 of the web 2 takes place a determination between the locking leg 7 and the opposite Inside 9 of the leg 3.
