Description

  The present invention relates to a clip that clamps an object to be clamped such as paper, cloth, sheet, or document by overlapping them.

Conventionally, various clips have been used by sandwiching documents, stacked papers, bag mouths, and the like. Typical examples of the structure include a spiral clip, a laundry clip clip, and a force point folding clip using a leaf spring.
Among them, a spiral clip (generally called a gem clip) has a very light and simple structure in which a steel wire is spirally formed on a plane. Therefore, it is suitable for mass production and is offered in large quantities at a low price. This clip can be successfully stapled when the number of sheets to be bound is thin and thin, but if the number of sheets is too thick or thick, even if the clip is inserted to be pinched, There is a drawback that it is thrown out and can't be properly bound.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the laundry clip-type clip has an action point for binding to the opposite side across the pivot point and a force point for pressing to open the action point. The power point portion protrudes greatly outside (shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 9) (the protruding portion is indicated by the width W in FIG. 9). For this reason, if the container is made to fit the size of the document (A4 size, etc.) (claw, envelope, desk drawer, etc.), the clip's power point will hit the frame, etc., and it will not fit well. There are drawbacks. In addition, even when organizing documents, the protruding power point part is in the way, making it difficult to prepare documents.

Further, for a force-point folding clip using a leaf spring as in Patent Document 1 below, the steel plate is pressed in a direction in which the biting portions on both sides are closed, and the bent portion is inflated and folded in two. The tip of a U-shaped wire rod, which is about twice as long as a steel plate folded in half, is connected to the bite portion.
When using this, the middle part of the bent side of the U-shaped wire on both sides is applied to the bulging part of the two-folded steel plate, and the bent part on both sides of the wire is pressed by using it as a fulcrum. The mating part is opened. Then, when a document or the like is sandwiched and bound, the U-shaped wire protruding outside the document or the like is rotated and bent toward the biting portion side (within the paper surface within the edge of the document). For this reason, the fault by the force point part like the above-mentioned washing pin type clip protruding outside the document etc. is eliminated.
However, because it is a combination of two parts of wire and one steel plate, the structure becomes complicated, and it cannot be supplied at low cost, and the wire part used for opening is opened and closed. There is a difficulty that it is troublesome.

  Further, Patent Document 2 below proposes a corner clip that holds a right-angled corner portion of a document or the like. The corner clip of this patent document 2 is provided with elastic bodies attached to both sides sandwiching the right angle portion of the upper and lower right triangular plate-shaped sandwiching portions so as to surround the corner from both sides. (Pointed part) can be inserted into the clamping part and clamped, but even if it tries to insert a straight edge of a document or the like, the elastic body on both sides is obstructed and inserted deeply and smoothly into the clamping part Since it cannot be used, it is not suitable for use on a straight edge such as a commonly used document.

JP 2006-347157 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-237274

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when a linear edge portion of a sandwiched object such as a document is clamped with a clip, a part of the clip is placed outside the periphery of the sandwiched object. It is an object of the present invention to provide a compact side clip type clip that can be easily put in a bag, a drawer of a desk, a box, a bag, an envelope, etc.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the invention according to claim 1, the laterally clipable clip of the present invention is characterized in that one opposing part in which a front clamping part and a rear pressing part are integrated, and the clamping A peristaltic support portion provided on only one side portion between the opposing portions, wherein the other opposing portion in which the holding portion of the front portion and the pressing portion of the rear portion are integrated is opposed to the pressing portion. In the connecting portion provided, when the two pressing parts are closed, the two holding parts are connected so as to be opened, and between the opposing parts, an urging means for urging the holding parts in a closing direction is provided. The object to be clamped inserted from the lateral direction toward the connecting part by opening the both clamping parts can be clamped in a pressurized state by the both clamping parts.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the above invention, the peristaltic support portion is formed by a pivot hole formed in parallel to the opposing surfaces of the opposite portions and a pivot shaft that penetrates the pivot hole. Further, when the gap between the two pressing parts is closed, the gap between the both clamping parts is formed.

  The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in each of the above-mentioned inventions, a saw-tooth-shaped pressing member is mounted at the tip of the clamping part with the tooth tip facing the opposing surface of the opposing clamping part.

The present invention is as described above. In the first aspect of the present invention, when both pressing parts are pressed and closed with a finger or the like, the gap between both the clamping parts opens against the urging force of the urging means, and the finger or the like is opened. When the pressure is released by releasing, the gap between both the clamping parts is closed by the urging means so as to bite in a pressurized state.
At that time, between the holding parts opened by pressing the pressing part, the object to be clamped such as a superimposed document is opened toward the connecting part provided only on the one side part. It can be inserted from the side (that is, inserted from the lateral direction), and when the finger is released as it is, the straight edge of the object to be clamped such as a document and the front-rear direction of the present invention are parallel to each other. It is clamped between the parts in a pressurized state.

And, in a state where the object to be clamped such as the document is clamped, the thickness of the connecting part may protrude strictly from the straight edge of the object to be clamped such as the document, This means that the clip is extremely small when viewed from the entire clip, and the pressing portion does not protrude significantly outside the edge of the object to be clamped such as a document.
For this reason, in this invention, it becomes possible to put smoothly into a bag, a desk drawer, a box, a bag, an envelope or the like without being caught.

  Moreover, since the insertion depth in the horizontal width direction is not related to the size of the opening / closing interval, the horizontal width dimension can be freely designed. For this reason, for example, if it is formed narrow, it can be clamped with a narrow binding width so as not to bite deeply into the surface from the edge of the object to be clamped.

  Furthermore, in the form of Claim 2, the said sliding support part is pivotally supported by the pivotal support hole and the pivotal support shaft penetrated by the pivotal support hole so that opening and closing is possible, and both said opposing parts are It can be reliably rocked around the pivot shaft and can be manufactured easily because it has a simple structure as a whole.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the object to be clamped is clamped, the tooth tip of the saw-tooth-shaped pressing member mounted on the clamping part bites into the surface of the object to be clamped, and the sandwiched object is easily removed. It is possible to securely clamp the object to be clamped.

Next, an embodiment of the transverse clip of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the present invention includes one opposing portion 2 in which a front holding portion 12 and a rear pressing portion 14 are integrated, the holding portion 12 and the pressing portion. 14 is a connecting part provided with a peristaltic support part 10 provided between the opposing parts 1 and 2, the other opposing part 1 in which the front clamping part 13 and the rear pressing part 15 are integrated. 6, the two pressing parts 14 and 15 are closed so that the two clamping parts 12 and 13 are opened.

As shown in FIG. 1, the peristaltic support portion 10 is divided into the one facing portion 2 side and the other facing portion 1 side, and is formed in a shape corresponding to each other.
That is, on the one facing portion 2 side, round convex portions 18 and 19 are formed on both sides in the middle between the sandwiching portion 12 and the pressing portion 14, and the pivotal support hole 11 penetrates both the convex portions 18 and 19. A round groove-like concave portion 17 is formed between the convex portions 18 and 19.

  Further, the peristaltic support portion 10 on the other facing portion 1 side is formed by erecting a plate-like connecting portion 6 upright on one side portion 1a of the sandwiching portion 13 and the pressing portion 15 integrated in a plate shape, At the upper end portion of the connecting portion 6, a pressing side support portion 7 facing in parallel with the sandwiching portion 13 and the pressing portion 15, which are integrated in a plate shape, is formed, and a central portion is formed at the tip end near the center of the pressing side support portion. The round convex portion 8 and the round concave portions 16 on both sides thereof are formed, and a pivotal support hole 9 is formed through the convex portion 8.

Then, the pivot shaft 3 is inserted into the pivot holes 9 and 11 of the swing support portions 10 of the both facing portions 1 and 2 corresponding to the fitting possible, as shown in FIG. The opposing parts 1 and 2 are connected.
When the pivot shaft 3 is inserted, the pivot shaft 3 is inserted and mounted so that the coil spring 5 is urged in a direction in which the gaps 12 and 13 are closed.

As described above, when the connection portion 6 is opened between both the sandwiching portions of the both facing portions 1, 2, the both sandwiching portions 12, 13, both pressing portions 14, 15, both facing portions 1c, 2c and the facing portion The side portions 1b and 2b on one side are separated at intervals that allow the object to be clamped to be inserted (shown in FIG. 2B), and only the side portions 1a and 2a on the other side are connected. And an urging means 4 (coil spring 5 in FIG. 1) for urging the clamping parts 12 and 13 in a closing direction.
The coil spring 5 shown in FIG. 1 is a means for urging in the direction in which the gaps 12 and 13 are closed, and the urging means 4 may be a plate spring or other elastic material.

  Then, the gaps 12 and 13 are opened (shown in (b) of FIG. 2) between the facing portion 1c of the facing portion and the inner surface 7a of the pressing side support portion to the inner surface 6a of the connecting portion 6. The object P to be sandwiched so as to be abutted from the lateral direction can be clamped (shown in FIG. 3) in a pressurized state by the both sandwiching portions 12 and 13.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, the peristaltic support 10 is opposed to the opposing part 2 of the convex part 8 at the tip of the pressing support part fixed to the connecting part 6 of the opposing parts 1. 2c, the pivot hole 9 formed in parallel with the opposite surface 1c, the pivot hole 11 in the opposite section 1 formed in parallel with the opposed surface 1c, and both pivot holes 9, 11 are inserted. The pivot shaft 3 is formed so that when the space between the pressing portions 14 and 15 is closed, the space between the clamping portions 12 and 13 is opened.

Moreover, in the form shown in FIG. 1, the said peristaltic support part 10 is the round recessed part 16 of a press side support part, the round recessed part 17 of a press side support part, the round convex part 18 of a press side support part, and a press side support. Although the aspect supported by the round convex part 19 is shown, the aspect shown in FIG. 4 is also possible separately.
The mode shown in FIG. 4 is obtained by forming the pressing side support portion 7 short in the mode shown in FIG.
The length of the pressing side support portion 7 is not limited to the function of stopping the clip, and it is sufficient that the peristaltic support portion 10 can be fixed securely. The length can be changed freely.
In addition, in this FIG. 4, the aspect which formed the said connection part 6 in the trapezoid is shown.

Moreover, as another aspect, as shown in FIG. 5 which shows the state which isolate | separated the member of each part, and FIG. 6 which assembled it, the said connection part 6 is formed long in the clamping part 13 side. By doing so, the strength of the connecting portion 6 is increased and the peristaltic support portion 10 can be more reliably fixed.
However, in the mode of FIG. 1 described above, the object to be sandwiched P can be inserted into the open space from the front side on the clamping unit 13 side to the coupling unit 6, whereas the coupling unit 6 as illustrated in FIG. 6. In the case where the pin is formed long on the pinching part 13 side, the pinned object P cannot be inserted from the front side on the pinching part 13 side because the connecting part 6 is formed long on the pinching part 13 side.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 7, a rod-like connecting portion 21 is erected on the side portion 1a of the facing portion 1, and a lateral pivot shaft 22 is integrally formed at the tip thereof. It is also possible to connect the both opposing portions 1 and 2 by inserting the pivot shaft 22 into the pivot hole 11 provided in the convex portion 18 of the opposing portion 2. At that time, the coil spring 5 is mounted so as to be urged in a direction in which the gap between the both sandwiching portions 12 and 13 is closed.
Even in this case, it is sufficient if the peristaltic support portion 10 can be securely fixed, so that the shape can be freely changed as long as the strength is sufficient so that deformation or breakage does not occur.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the tip of the sandwiching portion 12 is in the form of a case where the lateral width is different from that (when the depth of penetration from the edge of the sandwiched object is shallow). A saw-toothed pressing member 24 can be mounted at the pivoting portion 20 so that the opening / closing angle is free with the tooth tip facing the opposing surface of the opposing clamping portion 13.
If it carries out like this, the whole tooth tip will become parallel with the edge of a to-be-clamped object, and it will become possible to press and prevent the to-be-clamped object to pull out in the horizontal direction.
Although not shown, it is also possible to form an occlusal tooth in a sawtooth shape in the substantially closing direction at the tip of either one or both of the sandwiching portions 12 and 13. If it does so, it can prevent that the to-be-clamped thing pinched | interposed into the to-be-clamped object by the saw-toothed biting part being pulled out easily.

When using the horizontal clip of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the pressing portions 14, 15 are pressed against the force of the coil spring 5 with a finger to close the pressing portions 14, 15; The gaps 12 and 13 are opened with the peristaltic support 10 as a boundary.
Then, the straight edge of the object P to be clamped such as a document from the opened side direction (i.e., lateral direction) between the opened holding parts 12 and 13 is connected to the inner surface 6a of the connecting part 6. Insert until it hits, determine the pinch position and release your finger.
Then, the force of the coil spring 5 closes the holding parts 12 and 13 so that the object P is held in a pressurized state.
At this time, since a part of the horizontal clip of the present invention has almost no portion protruding outside the periphery of the object P, the object P such as a document can be smoothly put in a document box or a bag. Can be put.

In addition, the constituent members of each part of the present invention can be manufactured using materials such as metal, plastic, and the like, using plate-like, rod-like, and linear materials. It is also possible to manufacture by combining these different members in each part.
In addition, about the said peristaltic support part 10, although the case was illustrated by the pivot, it is not limited to it. In plastic, it can be supported by making it thin and bendable repeatedly, and even in metal plates, it can be supported by making it bendable repeatedly, and in metals such as steel, it can be urged. It is possible to support.

The opposing positional relationship between the sandwiching portions 12 and 13 is best that the end portions are in exact contact with each other, but the length from the peristaltic support portion 10 has a difference in the front-rear direction, which is greater than the other. It may be long. Further, the opposing positional relationship of the pressing portions 14 and 15 is best that the length from the peristaltic support portion 10 is the same, but the length from the peristaltic support portion 10 is different in the front and rear. Either may be longer than the other.

  Further, a label affixing surface and a number writing surface can be formed on the surface of the planar portions formed on the holding portions 12, 13 and the pressing portions 14, 15, so that the document name can be formed on the surface. It is possible to manage and organize documents by writing document numbers and document numbers, or by coloring them with colored labels.

  The present invention is a clip for holding a flat object such as paper, cloth, sheet or the like by stacking it, but it is also used for holding various objects other than such a object. Is possible.
