DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clip for pinching objects such as paper, cloth, sheet and the like by stacking them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Until now, various kinds of clips have been used, for example, for pinching a stacked document or bag mouth. As a typical structure of the clip, a spiral wire type clip,
There are a laundry pinch clip and a foldable clip at the point of force by a leaf spring.

[0003] The spiral wire type clip (generally called a zem clip) has a very light and simple structure in which a steel wire is spirally formed on a plane. For this reason, it is suitable for mass production and is provided in large quantities at low prices. This clip can be stapled well when the number of sheets to be bound is several and thin, but when the number of sheets is large or thick, the clip can be quickly ejected from the adherend even if the clip is inserted for binding. There is a disadvantage that it can not be stuck and stopped well.

As shown in FIG. 6, the above-mentioned laundry clip has an action point A for binding to the opposite side with respect to the pivot point B and a force point C for pressing to expand the action point A. Therefore, the point of force C protrudes outside the bound document P by the length L. For this reason, there is a drawback that a container (bag, envelope, drawer of a desk, etc.) made according to the size of the document (A4 size or the like) is stuck as it is when bound, and has a drawback that it does not fit well. Further, even when the documents are arranged, the projecting portion (portion C) is a hindrance, and there is a difficulty in preparing the documents.

Further, with respect to a force-point foldable clip using a leaf spring, a steel plate is folded into two by expanding a bent portion in a pressing and urging state in a direction in which the engaging portions at both ends are closed. The tip of a U-shaped wire rod about twice as long as the steel plate is slidably connected to the biting portion, and when used, the bent sides of the U-shaped wire rod on both sides are connected to the bent side. It hits the inflated part of the two-folded steel plate and presses it to the fulcrum, and pushes the biting part open. After the documents are bound, the U-shaped wire protruding to the outside of the documents or the like is moved to the biting portion side (within the edge of the documents). Since this clip can be made in this manner, the drawback caused by the point of force applied to the clip as in the above-described clothespin clip is eliminated. However, since the three components are assembled, the structure becomes complicated, and there is a problem that the components cannot be supplied at low cost.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has been proposed to prevent a document or the like from protruding greatly outside when bound.
The object of the present invention is to provide a compact clip which can be easily put in a bag, a drawer of a desk, a box, a bag, an envelope, or the like.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pair of jaws 2, 3 having bases 2b, 3b having occlusal portions 4, 5 opposed to both ends 2a, 3a. The main part 1
And a urging means 6 for urging the jaws 2 and 3 in the closing direction is provided at the main part 1 thereof, and a pressing part 7 which opens the jaws 2 and 3 against the urging. 8 are superimposed on the outside of the jaws 2 and 3 at intervals and overlap the jaws 2 and 3
A space between them is formed and connected and fixed to the jaws 2 and 3 on the far side through the main part 1 side. When the pressing parts 7 and 8 are pressed from the outside, the occlusion parts 4 and 5 are formed. The clip is characterized in that it is opened against the urging means 6 and when the pressing is released, the biting portions 4 and 5 are closed by the urging means 6 so as to bite in a pressurized state.

Further, in the above configuration, the urging means 6
Is a coil spring, which is entirely made of one steel wire.

Further, in the above construction, the urging means 6 is a leaf spring, and the whole is made of one steel plate.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The clip of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 which shows a clip made by bending a single steel wire as a whole. A pair of jaw-shaped jaws in which the biting portions 4 and 5 are opposed to both end portions 2a and 3a. The bases 2b and 3b of the parts 2 and 3 are connected to the main part 1 formed on the coil spring 6a. The biasing direction of the coil panel 6a is such that the jaws 2 and 3 are closed, and the bite portions 4 and 5 are pressed so as to be tightened. Further, pressing portions 7 and 8 for opening the jaws 2 and 3 against the bias of the coil panel 6a are overlapped at intervals on the outside of the jaws 2 and 3 and the both jaws are overlapped. Avoiding the space between the jaws 2 and 3 and passing through the main part 1 side,
3 is connected and fixed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, when the pressing portions 7 and 8 are pressed from both outer sides of the jaw portions 2 and 3, the biting portions 4 and 5 are opposed to the urging means 6. When it is opened (shown in (b) of FIG. 2) and its pressing is released, the biting portions 4, 5 are closed by the urging means 6 so as to bite in a pressurized state (shown in (a) of FIG. 2).

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the urging means 6 is a case of a coil spring 6a, and is entirely made of a single steel wire rod. As shown in the figure, the whole is made of a single steel plate material, and as the urging means 6, a leaf spring 6b having a constant width is formed in the main part 1;
Cut both pressing parts 7, 8 in the middle of the steel material,
The form which opens so that it may open outside 5 is possible.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a horizontal pivot hole is formed in the main part 1, and two plates whose both ends are bent at an acute angle around the main part 1 are turned into a bent pivot. Insert the pivot shaft into the hole and stack. And the coil shaft 6
a is urged so that the jaws 2, 3 are in the closing direction,
A mode is possible in which the bite portions 4 and 5 are pressed so as to be tightened.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a spring plate made of a steel plate is bent at a main part 1 so as to have a width to form jaw parts 2 and 3 on both sides thereof. 8, the base ends of the pressing portions 7, 8 are fixed to the engaging portions 4, 5 formed at both the distal end portions 2 a, 3 a of the jaw portions 2, 3. A configuration is possible in which the distal end portion 8 is bent to the other side at the position of the main portion 1 so as to open to the outside of the occlusion portions 4 and 5.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the pressing portions 7 and 8 are pressed from the outside of the bite portions 4 and 5, the bite portions 4 and 5 are pressed.
When the opening is released against the urging means 6 and the pressing thereof is released, the engaging portions 4 and 5 are closed by the urging means 6 so as to bite in a pressurized state. In other words, when an overlapped document or the like is inserted into the engaging portions 4 and 5 opened by pressing the pressing portions 7 and 8 and the edges thereof are inserted and the hand is released, as shown in FIG. , The edge of the document is the occlusion part 4,5
It is bound to be bitten by.

In the bound state, as shown in FIG. 2B, the main part 1 slightly protrudes by the length W from the marginal portion of the document or the like. In addition, there is no possibility that the pressing portion protrudes greatly outside (the protrusion protrudes by the length L as shown in FIG. 6). Therefore, the present invention has an advantage that it can be easily put in a bag, a drawer of a desk, a box, a bag, an envelope, or the like. Another advantage is that it is not bulky to store a lot in a storage case when not in use.
