The catching prevention member 5 can be moved in a state of being proximate to the proximity part 6.

Description

  The present invention relates to a clip for hanging clothes such as trousers, skirts, and various laundry items, and relates to a clip in which the tip of a pinch lever is not caught on the clothes.

Clips for hanging clothes such as trousers, skirts, and various types of laundry include typical clothespins that are used to hang laundry, but this means holding clothes with one hand and the clothespin with the other hand. As a clip that needs to be opened and does not need to be opened, a clip shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the frame 1 has a (substantially) inverted U-shaped frame 1 and a pinch lever 4 that rotates around the rotation center shaft 3 in a space inside the frame 1 (pinch lever 4). Is held by a spring member (not shown), such as a torsion coil spring, in a direction to close the frame), if a garment is stretched with both hands and pinched with it, the lever 4 is pushed up (the pushing force may be weak). It can be held between the two parts.
At this time, although the closing torque of the pinching lever 4 is weak, the pinching lever 4 is rotated downward when the clothes once pinched are slipped off, and the gap between the pinching portions 2 is reduced, so that the pinching force is increased. , The holding power will be strong. In addition, the spring member which gives the closing torque to the sandwiching lever 4 can also be used as a spring member by thinning the base portion of the sandwiching lever 4 as shown in FIG. In the above clips, the clothes sandwiched between the clips often hang down and cling to the tip of the sandwiching lever 4 due to their own weight, as shown in FIG. When it was pulled downward, there was a drawback that it caught on this and did not come off well (the thinner the clothes, the easier it is to catch).

  An object of the present invention is to provide a catching prevention member 5 at the tip of the pinch lever 4 so that when the garment pinched by the clip is removed, the tip of the pinch lever 4 is not caught and the garment is easily removed. To do.

Means to solve the problem

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a clip having an inverted U-shaped or substantially inverted U-shaped frame and a clamping lever rotatably provided in a space inside the frame. And a proximity portion close to the catch prevention member, and the catch prevention member is configured to move in a state of approaching the proximity portion formed on the frame.

Effect of the invention

  In the present invention, since the pinching lever is provided at the front end of the pinch lever, the clothes pinched by the clip do not hang down and cling to the pinch lever. It can be removed smoothly without being caught by the pinch lever and becoming difficult to remove.

Detailed Description of the Invention

  FIG. 1 (a) is a clip according to the present invention, which basically has the same structure as the conventional one, but is provided with a catching prevention member 5 on the upper side of the front end portion of the pinch lever 4 and close to the catching prevention member 5. The difference is that a proximity portion 6 is provided and the catching prevention member 5 is configured to move in a state of being close to the proximity portion 6. With the above configuration, even if the clothing sandwiched between the sandwiching portion 2 and the sandwiching lever 4 hangs down on the front end portion of the sandwiching lever 4, it only falls and contacts the catching prevention member 5 as shown in FIG. This is because it does not cling to the tip of the pinch lever 4 as in (b) (it is prevented by the proximity portion 6). Even if the clip lever 4 is pulled downward by pushing the pinch lever 4 with a finger, it can be removed without being caught. In addition, if the friction material 4a like rubber | gum is provided in the front-end | tip part of the clamping lever 4, the holding | maintenance force of clothing can be raised (this friction material 4a can also be provided in the clamping part 2). To remove the clothes sandwiched between the clips, the clip lever 4 can be opened. For this purpose, the clip lever 4 is pushed up, or the clip lever 4 is extended beyond the rotation center axis 3 as shown in FIG. Then, the extended portion 4b may be pushed downward as indicated by an arrow. In FIG. 1A, the outer peripheral surface of the catching prevention member 5 and the proximity portion 6 are configured to be close to each other. However, as shown in FIG. 1B, the inner peripheral surface of the catching prevention member 5 and the proximity portion 6 are close to each other. It is also possible to configure it to do so. The clip according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 (c) is configured so that the width of the upper part of the frame 1 in FIG. 1 (a) is reduced so that the catching prevention member 5 passes through the hole 7 formed in the frame. Yes, the wall surface of the hole 7 corresponds to the proximity portion 6 in FIG. 1A (the catch prevention member 5 passes through the hole 7 and its width is smaller than the width of the frame 1). The clip shown in FIG. 1 (e) has a pair of sandwiching levers 4 'facing each other, 1' is a frame, 5 'is a catching prevention member, and 7' is a proximity portion.

  Next, an application example of the clip according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 (a) shows a clip according to the present invention, for example, a trouser hanger provided with the clip of FIG. 1 (c) at both ends of the support bar 8 (1 indicates the frame of the clip), and pants (or skirt). ) Is pinched with both hands and pushed into the clip, it is sandwiched and held between the sandwiching portion 2 and the sandwiching lever 4. In order to prevent the clip from moving upward when the trousers are stretched and pushed into the clip, a pressing lever 11 is provided to fix the hook 9 by pressing the hook 9 against a hook on which the hook 9 is hung. When hook 9 is hung on a nail that has been driven into the wall instead of a heel, hole 10 may be used. When removing the pants from the clip, the pinch lever 4 is pushed with two fingers as shown by the arrow in FIG. When the clip of FIG. 1 (d) is used, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the connecting member 17 that connects the clip levers 4 (more precisely, the portion 4b extending beyond the rotation center axis 3) of the left and right clips to each other.
