Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clip which is used for a writing implement which is easy to be installed to a pocket and the like and difficult to be easily missing. <P>SOLUTION: The clip (3) has a clip body (6) wherein a base end (9) side is fixed to an axial cylinder (2) so that an insertion space (5) is formed between the axial cylinder (2) and the clip body (6), and a pressure contact element (7) which comes into pressure contact with a pocket, a note or the like which is inserted into the insertion space (5). A soft quality part (10) becoming a sliding stop by simultaneous forming due to an art of two color forming or insertion forming is provided on an inner surface to the base end (9) side of the clip body (6) from a crest part (8) of the pressure contact element (7). A crest part (8) of the pressure contact element (7) and a tip (11) side of the clip body (6) are slidable since a hard substrate part (12) of the clip body (6) is exposed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a clip provided on a shaft tube or a cap of a writing instrument, a cosmetic tool or the like.

A clip provided on a writing instrument or the like includes a clip main body whose base end is fixed to a holder such as a shaft cylinder or a cap, and a pressure contact formed on the inside of the clip main body so as to be pressed against a sandwiched object such as a pocket. It is made of plastic material or metal material. Clips made of plastic material cannot produce as strong a pressing force as clips made of metal material, so they may fall off and fall when stored in a pocket or inserted into a notebook. For this reason, a clip in which a pressure contact member is formed of a flexible rubber piece is also known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, since the rubber piece has high resistance, it cannot be easily inserted into a pocket or the like. Various clips are known in which a plastic material pressure contactor made separately is attached to the tip of a metal material clip body (see, for example, Patent Document 2). If the pressing force is too large, it cannot be easily inserted into a pocket or the like.
Registered Utility Model No. 3012443 (term 0009, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-1712 (Term 0002, FIGS. 3 to 14)

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a clip that can be easily inserted into an object to be clamped such as a pocket or a notebook and that is difficult to come off, and particularly to provide the above-mentioned clip that can be easily obtained from a plastic material. .

  According to the present invention, the clip main body whose base end side is fixed to the held body so as to form an insertion space with the held body, and the clip main body so as to be pressed against the object to be clamped inserted into the insertion space. In the clip having the press contact formed on the inner surface of the holder or the outer surface of the held body, the clip main body on the distal end side of the clip main body is exposed from the press contact and the inner surface of the insertion space on the proximal end side of the clip main body from the press contact A clip characterized by forming a soft part to prevent slipping is provided, and the above-mentioned clip is provided by simultaneously molding the soft part on the surface of a hard substrate part in the manner of two-color molding or insert molding, The above problem is solved.

  In the clip of the present invention, the inner surface of the clip body on the distal end side of the clip body and the surface of the press contactor are not slipped on the inner surface of the insertion space on the proximal end side of the press contactor and the clip body without providing a soft part. Since the soft part is formed, the base part of the clip body made of a plastic material or the like is exposed on the tip side and is likely to slip. Therefore, when inserting into an object to be clamped such as a pocket or a notebook, the press contact can be easily passed, so that it is easy to wear. And in the state inserted in the pocket etc., since the said to-be-clamped object is pinched | interposed into the soft part in insertion space, there exists resistance and it is hard to slip, it can make it difficult to drop | omit compared with the conventional clip. In addition, by simultaneously molding the soft part by the two-color molding or insert molding method, it is easy to manufacture and the soft part can be hardly peeled off and can be used for a long time.

  FIG. 1 shows a clip (3) attached to the shaft cylinder (2) of the writing instrument (1) using a writing instrument (1) such as a mechanical pencil or a ballpoint pen as a holder. The clip (3) is fixed to the shaft tube (2) via the attachment portion (4), and the clip body (6) forms an insertion space (5) between the clip tube (3) and the outer surface of the shaft tube (2). It has a press contact (7) formed on the inner surface of the clip body (6) so as to press contact with a sandwiched object (not shown) such as a pocket, a notebook, etc., and is made of a plastic material. As is well known, the attachment portion of the clip body (6) can be formed in various structures, and can be integrally formed with a shaft tube, a cap, or the like.

  The press contact (7) is formed in a shape projecting in an arc shape in a substantially mountain shape, and is non-slip from the top (8) of the substantially mountain shape to the inner surface on the base end (9) side of the clip body (6). A soft part (10) is formed. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the soft portion (10) is formed by removing the substrate portion (12) from the inner surface of the clip body (6) on the tip (11) side and excluding the tip (11). Although it is formed on the entire surface of the clip main body, it may be provided only on the inner surface of the clip main body facing the insertion space as shown in FIG. 2, or the outer surface of the shaft cylinder (2) facing the soft portion (10). In addition, a soft part can be formed (not shown).

The soft part (10) may be simultaneously formed on the surface of the hard substrate part (12) of the clip body (6) by two-color molding or insert molding. The material of the substrate portion (12) is preferably a plastic material, but may be formed of a metal material, and the material of the soft portion (10) may be a rubber material or a soft plastic material, preferably An appropriate elastomer resin or the like having good fusion properties with the plastic material of the substrate portion is selected.

  FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which a press contact (7) is projected from the outer surface of the shaft tube (2), and the cover is placed between the top (8) of the press contact (7) and the inner surface of the clip body (6). The sandwiched material is crimped, and a soft portion (10) that prevents slipping is provided on the inner surface of the insertion space on the base end (9) side of the top portion (8) and the clip body (6). In addition, this soft part (10) can also be provided over the outer surface of a shaft cylinder (2) from the top part (8) of a press contact (7), as shown in FIG.

  With the above configuration, since the hard substrate portion (12) is exposed on the tip (11) side of the clip body (6), it can be easily inserted into an object to be clamped such as a pocket or a notebook. After insertion, the object to be sandwiched is crimped to the soft part (10) in the insertion space, so that it is difficult to slip, has resistance, and is less likely to fall off easily.
