2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, socks are left at the time of washing and drying.
Since the right side is separated, when storing, the left and right socks are searched for and stored. And there is no clip dedicated to socks.

[0003]

When the socks are washed, the socks placed in the washing machine are separated from each other in the washing machine so that the left and right agitated in the washing machine are separated from each other. You have to search for the left and right socks before storing them in a closet. However, with many socks, this hunting and matching process was very cumbersome and time consuming to store.

In order to solve this problem, the left and right socks are fastened together with a thread, a pin, a washing pin, or the like.
It suffices to be able to wash and dry, but if a thread or a pin is used, the socks will have holes and will damage the socks. In addition, the use of a washing pinch has the disadvantage that the contact surface of the pinching portion with the socks is small, and the shape of the washing pin is disengaged when used in a washing machine, and the storage is bulky.

In view of the above, the present invention clamps a pair of right and left socks during washing, drying and storing so as not to separate from each other, and after drying, searches for the left and right socks before storing. An object of the present invention is to provide a lower clip that does not require troublesome work, does not come off in a washing machine or a dryer, and does not damage the washing machine or the dryer.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a clip for socks according to the present invention is provided such that a clipping member which is openably and closably formed at a center portion has one clipping portion forward and the other clipping portion forward. A locking tool for fixing the portion is provided. Further, the sock clip of the present invention has two sock clips connected thereto.
