Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clip such as a clothespin, a paper clip such as a double-clip or nail clippers prevented from slipping out from the fingertips and prevented from springing out and falling down due to sideward fall of a clipping member or the offset in position of the fingers pressing each other in opening/closing operation of the clip. <P>SOLUTION: The clip has a pair of the clipping members 1. A pinching part 2 of one clipping member 1 is formed into a wide pinching part 3 widened widthwise enough to allow at least the two fingers to rest on it for preventing the clipping member 1 from widthwise falling or the fingers from slipping out when the parts 2 and 3 are pinched by the fingertips. Thereby the clip such as the clothespin, the office clip such as the double-clip or the nail clippers is prevented from springing out or falling down. The wide pinching part 3 and the clipping piece 1 may be assembled by using a shaft 7 and can be stacked when the clip is stored. The wide pinching part 3 may be provided on a case for preventing nail pieces cut from scattering. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a pinching mechanism for a pinching tool that makes it difficult to remove the fingertip from the knob when opening and closing the pinching portion of the pinching tool that is opened and closed by a spring, thereby facilitating the opening and closing operation of the pinching portion. As a clamping tool related to the above, it can be opened and closed with springs of wire rods and plate materials, especially office clips such as clothespins, eyeball clips and double clips to be pinched, as well as nail clippers that are pressed by spring effects such as nail clippers. And a case to be added later such as a nail clipper scattering prevention case.

  In the conventional holding tools such as clothespins, the handle is operated with the two fingertips of the thumb and forefinger, and only anti-slip has been devised. For ease of use, as shown in FIG. 4, clothespins with a pick portion enlarged in a circular shape to increase the area of the portion where the fingertip hits have been sold.

Some nail clippers have been disclosed in Patent Document 1 in which a disk is provided on the nail clipper main body and the lever knob.
ACT 7-44064

  As described above, in conventional clippers such as clothespins, double clips, etc., and nail clippers, etc., the knob is operated with two fingertips, the thumb and the index finger. Or the two fingertips are pushed sideways, the fingertips do not match each other, and the sandwiching pieces are easily tilted sideways.

  In this way, when the fingertips do not match the position where the fingertips are pressed, it is often the case that clasps such as clothespins, double clips, etc. Problems such as picking up office clips such as clothespins and double clips, taking out new clothespins, etc., and reworking nail clippers, etc. occur. there were.

  Furthermore, it is more difficult for those who do not use their fingertips to handle office clips such as clothespins, double clips, and nail clippers.

  The present invention's clothespins, office clips such as double clips and nail clippers, etc., have a pair of clamping pieces 1 and a width at which at least two fingers are applied to the knob 2 of the clamping piece 1 And formed as a horizontally long knob 3 having a length in the horizontal direction.

  Since the horizontally long picking portion 3 can be hooked with two forefingers and middle fingers, or can be gripped with four fingers, it is possible to prevent the holding piece 1 from lying down. Even if the thumb pressed against 3 pushes the holding piece 1 in the lateral direction, the thumb can be pushed straight into the horizontally long knob 3.

  In addition to integrally forming the sandwiching piece 1 and the horizontally long knob 3, the pivoting mechanism in which the horizontally long knob 3 and the position of the sandwiching piece 1 serving as an action point necessary for operation are rotated by the shaft body 7 is used. It can be formed so that the horizontally long knob 3 can be overlapped with the sandwiching piece 1, and the horizontally long knob 3 can be provided in the nail clipper main body 8 or the nail scattering prevention case 9.

  The horizontally long picking portion that is hooked with two fingertips when the picking portion 2 and the horizontally long picking portion 3 are sandwiched between the clothespin, the office clip such as a double clip, or a nail clipper, etc. Since 3 prevents the sandwiching piece 1 from being laid sideways, the fingertip does not come off or scatter when the fingertip slides from the knob 2 and the opening / closing operation of the sandwiching part 4 is facilitated.

  Therefore, picking up clothespins that have fallen off, clasps such as office clips such as double clips, and nail clippers, or pinching them again with other clothespins or clasps of office clips such as double clips There is no need to do it.

  In addition, even for people with weak fingertips or people with slight disabilities, it is easy to use office clothes such as clothespins, double clips, etc. and nail clippers, etc. An excellent one can be considered, and a case in which the horizontally long picking portion 3 is provided in a nail clipper prevention case is appreciated by elderly people and people with weak fingertips.

  When the horizontally long knob portion 3 is in a rotating state, it can be overlapped with the sandwiching piece 1 by a rotating mechanism, which is convenient without taking up space for storage.

  Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As one of the embodiments according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the grip portion 2 of the sandwiching piece 1 has a horizontally long width that is longer than the longitudinal direction of the sandwiching piece 1. A knob 3 is provided. The laterally long knob portion 3 has a width that is longer in the lateral direction on both sides than the sandwiching piece 1, but it is possible to consider that only one side is laterally long. .

  The operation of opening and closing the clothespin 4 is generally performed by pressing the thumb with the index finger and the thumb toward the index finger, and the direction of pushing and moving the thumb cannot be pushed straight to the opposing knob. When pushing and moving a little, it often happens that the pinching piece 1 is kinked or the fingertip slips and comes off, and there is a problem in handling that the clothespin is blown or flipped back.

  In the present invention, in order to eliminate the bad handling point, the knob portion 2 is made into a horizontally long knob portion 3 by having a stable length that does not twist from an unstable point-like finger hook. .

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a concave portion 5 is provided so that the horizontally long knob portion 3 hanging on the index finger, the middle finger or the like gives a fit feeling to the finger in a more stable state.

  As a third embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a hole 6 is provided in the knob 2 as anti-slip means for preventing a fingertip having a clothespin from slipping.

  In addition to integrally forming the holding piece 1 and the horizontally long knob 3, as shown in FIG. 5, the shaft 7 is used to position the horizontally long knob 3 and the position of the holding piece 1 that is an action point necessary for operation. It can also be formed by being mounted by a rotating mechanism in a rotating state so that the horizontally long knob 3 can be overlapped with the sandwiching piece 1.

  In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a side long knob 3 is provided on one side of the knob 2 which is a lever in a double clip of office clips, and the fingertip force is weak. It is easy for people to handle.

In addition to the double clip, it is naturally conceivable to provide the horizontally long knob 3 on the knob 2 such as an eyeball clip, a bee-shaped clip or a mountain-shaped clip.

  In the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the horizontal plate 3 is provided at the position where the finger is hooked on the fixing plate 10 opposite to the position of the nail clipper blade, so that it is stable without falling down. By improving the performance, it is possible to catch the nail clipper accurately because it can be received without losing the force of the operation lever 11 which is easy to move. Of course, as shown in FIG. The case 9 may also be provided with the horizontally long knob 3 and is easy to use especially for elderly people and people with poor fingertip movement.
