When both ends of the spring are secured to the end of each swing plate, a sandwiching portion and an opening portion are formed, and a line connecting the system stop portion at the end of each swing plate with a straight line Passes the swing fulcrum when closed. A laundry clip comprising a laundry clip main body in which the clip portion and the opening portion are interchanged with each other at the same time as the line connected by the straight line passes through the swing fulcrum.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the laundry nip according to the first aspect, wherein a swinging fulcrum is installed at one end of the laundry nip body from the center of the laundry nip main body, and the side that opens greatly with the fulcrum sandwiched after the swinging operation. There is a laundry clip characterized in that a swing plate is formed so that a difference in size occurs between the left and right openings.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the laundry clip according to the first or second aspect is characterized in that the main body of the laundry clip is made of plastic and the spring is made of metal.

  In the case of the inventions of claims 1 and 3, if the laundry is inserted into the already opened opening part with both hands and a pressing force is applied to the opening part without closing it, the opening part will be instantly opened. The laundry is replaced and the laundry is pinched and fixed. When removing the laundry, if a pressing force that closes without maintaining is applied to the open part that has been replaced with one hand, the sandwiched part is replaced with the open part instantly, and the previously fixed laundry is instantly opened and removed. There is no loss.

  The laundry nip according to the second aspect of the present invention is arranged so that the swing fulcrum of the laundry nip is offset from the center part, and the side far from the swing fulcrum is wide and wide so that thick laundry can be easily inserted.

  The above-described laundry sliders are not liable to have a problem in durability because there is no part to be moved by sliding the spring installation position along a plane.
