Definitions

  • the present invention relates to clips, preferably clothes-pegs, for holding clothes on a clothes-line or for closure of bags.
  • clothes-pegs in the form of a molded plastic part with two resilient legs.
  • One example of such a clothes-peg is described in EP 0 059 278. It comprises two resilient legs with transversal ribs creating different areas for holding differently thick clothes-lines.
  • a drawback with such a clothes-peg is that it demands a relatively large force to put the clothes-peg over a wet article of clothing.
  • a purpose with the present invention is to provide a clip that relatively easy can be put on a wet article of clothing and still hold the clothing securely in position on a clothes-line. Further the clip should be easy to handle and the clip should be rapid to put on or remove.
  • the basis of the present invention lies in the insight that the above-mentioned purpose can be achieved by means of a clip with two legs having a longitudinal elevation on the inside of the legs.
  • An advantage with a clip formed according to the present invention is that it can easily be put on wet clothes for holding on a clothes-line and still hold the clothes securely in place.
  • the basis of a preferred embodiment is the insight that the ridge of the inside of the clip could cause crushing damages on the article of clothing.
  • the clip comprises grooves without the longitudinal ridge, so that the article of clothing bear against the plane surface to avoid crushing damage on the article of clothing.
  • the clip comprises a head, so that it is easy to put the clip on an article of clothing, and wherein the head comprises a grip bead, in order to facilitate removal of the clip from the article of clothing.
  • the head formed as a plane plate, arranged in a plane defined by two longitudinal ribs on the outside of the legs, attached to the shoulder of the clip an increased rigidity for the clip is achieved.
  • the clothes-peg comprises two substantially parallel legs 1 and 2, the ends of which are connected by a shoulder 3.
  • a head 12 formed as a plane grip part is positioned, which is to facilitate fastening and removal of the clothes-peg.
  • the head 12 comprises a grip bead 15.
  • the free ends of the legs 1 and 2 are outwardly angled to facilitate fastening and removal of the clothes-peg. Also the free ends of the legs 1 and 2 comprise grip beads 16 and 17, respectively, to facilitate fastening of the clothes-peg, if the clothes-peg is pulled onto a clothes-line by holding a free end of a leg.
  • the transition between the head 12 and the shoulder 3 also comprises longitudinal ribs 13 and 14, respectively. These are positioned in the same plane as the longitudinal ribs 4 and 5.
  • the ribs on the head 12 and the ribs on the legs 1 and 2 do not meet on the shoulder 3, but there is a certain distance between the ribs 4 and 13 and 5 and 14, respectively. This distance is advantageous, so that there will be enough resilience in the clothes-peg, i.e. it should not be too rigid.
  • the legs 1 and 2 comprise on the inside a longitudinal ridge 11.
  • the main contact surface of the ridge against an article of clothing is line shaped.
  • This ridge 11 thus gives a strongly reduced friction during fastening of the clothes-peg on e.g. a wet article of clothing.
  • the ridge has a height suitably being from a few parts a millimeter up to some millimeter, preferably 0.01-1 mm, more preferably 0.1-0.5 mm, and more preferably about 0.2 mm. This can be compared with the width of the legs, which usually is in the order of 0.5-2 cm, preferably about 1 cm.
  • the legs 1 and 2 comprise a plurality of recesses 6-10.
  • the clothes-peg is mirror-symmetric and manufactured in one piece of plastic.
  • PP polypropene
  • POM polyacetate
  • the clothes-peg can be manufactured with the ridge in a material exhibiting lower friction than the rest of the clothes-peg, by molding with two different plastics.
  • the clothes-peg is a clip which is well suited to be used also for other applications, such as closure of plastic bags.
  • a second embodiment of a clothes-peg according to the present invention will next be described.
  • This embodiment is identical with the first embodiment described above, apart from that it lacks the head with longitudinal ribs, and that the legs lack outwardly angled free ends.
  • This embodiment is identical to the first embodiment or the second embodiment described above, apart from that the legs of the clothes-peg on the inside comprise at least two longitudinal ridges, or one ridge with double tops. Preferably the at least two longitudinal ridges or tops are parallel.
