DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the invention of a clipping device for a newspaper or the like, and provides a newspaper clipping device which is easy to handle, is lightweight, does not become bulky, and does not obstruct articles near the clipping portion. What you want to do.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A holding device for holding a newspaper in a folded state, holding the newspaper on a stand, and removing and reading the newspaper has been widely known for a long time. A bendable insert such as by juxtaposition, the middle bent part of the newspaper is inserted and a holding plate is also inserted into this, and the bendable insert is bent to the holding plate. It is common to press with a presser that is slidable. The same has been done in the Gazette and elsewhere.

Recently, instead of the above-mentioned wooden base, a metal base 20 and a holding piece 21 are used as shown in FIG. There is a commercially available product in which a folded portion in the middle of a newspaper is positioned at a portion, and a fastener 22 inserted into both ends of the holding piece 21 and screwed to the base piece 20 is tightened and held.

[0004] As shown in FIG. 7, a bendable insert 24 is disposed on a metal base 23, a bent portion in the middle of a newspaper is inserted, and a presser 26 is also inserted into the insert. After wearing, presser piece 26
Is also known in which a slide 25 provided on the base plate holds down the bendable insertion piece 24, and a handle or a locking portion is attached in the middle.

[0005]

In any of the above-mentioned conventional devices, they are considerably large and bulky. In addition, since they have a square configuration, they can be used as a piece of paper such as newsprint or other materials at the time of handling. Easy to catch.

[0006] In the case of using a wooden stand or having a bendable insert as shown in FIG. 7, the insertion operation is complicated because the newspaper must be perforated.
In the case of FIG. 6, it is very troublesome to rotate the screwed fasteners to fasten or release the fastening.

Further, in any case, the middle portion of the newspaper or the like, which is sandwiched, or a side of the paper is pressed with a certain width by a pressing piece or the like, so that articles near the pressed middle portion cannot be read. In many cases, it cannot be read unless the sandwiched state is relaxed and pryed open.

In any case, since it is large and heavy, it is generally difficult to read a newspaper or the like while holding it, especially in the case of a large piece of paper such as general newspaper. In order to read a newspaper or the like, it is necessary to put it on a table and bend down and read it. In the case of evening paper, which has a small number of papers, the clipping tool becomes considerably larger in weight than newspapers, and the handling of newspapers for reading must be extremely difficult.

[0009] Due to the above-mentioned circumstances, even if a newspaper clip is used, it is often not actually used, and is often read as delivered. However, even though the delivered newspaper is orderly, the orderly state of the newspaper is disturbed while turning pages. In particular, newspapers are generally large, with one side exceeding 50 cm even when folded in half, and are simple pieces of paper that are easy to bend. It is usual to read the half-folded part further folded at two places and four places even at a certain place, and the folds of these two-fold and four-fold courses are naturally irregular. While the irregular folds and folds are repeatedly read, the orderly state of the newspaper at the time of delivery is naturally disturbed,
It becomes bulky. Therefore, newspapers that have been read by a family or the like become cluttered and bulky, and it is not easy to orderly arrange them as an old newspaper.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been studied to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and uses pipe members having a circular cross section. The present invention has succeeded in solving any of the problems in the conventional art described above by adopting the pivotal structure, and is as follows.

A holding member to be held at one side, such as a folded portion of a newspaper or an official gazette, is formed of a pipe material pivotally connected at one end so as to be openable and closable. An engaging portion is provided in which a tension force is applied by a spring provided inside the material, and an engaging portion which engages with and disengages from the engaging portion is formed at the other end of the other pipe material. A clipping device for a newspaper or the like, characterized in that a resilient portion is provided at an intermediate portion of one of the pipe members.

[0012]

[Function] The holding tool to be held at one side, such as a folded part of a newspaper or the official gazette, is formed of a pipe material pivotally connected at one end so that the holding tool can be relatively narrow and light. While being formed, the pivoting member and the sprung member are mounted by utilizing the inner hole of the pipe material, and it is noted that those members particularly protrude further. In particular, since the actual pinching of newspapers is a tangent line (perpendicular to the paper surface) on the peripheral surface of the round pipe, the pinching margin of the pinched newspaper is very small, and the entire article must be read while pinched. Becomes possible.

At the other end of one of the pipe members pivotally attached at one end as described above, a locking member is provided, which is urged by a sprung provided inside the pipe member, to which a tensile force is applied. The other end of the pipe material is provided with an engaging portion that engages with and disengages from the locking portion body, so that an intermediate portion of newsprint or the like can be sandwiched between the two pipes and tightly locked. Since the number of members exposed to the outer surface is small, and the locking portion is formed along the outer peripheral surfaces of both pipe members, the possibility of catching on a piece of paper such as a newspaper or other objects during handling or reading is completely eliminated. Also, a simple and compact structure having excellent durability can be obtained at low cost.

By using the pipe material, the linearity is secured as the pipe material even if the diameter becomes relatively large as compared with the case of a dense wire material, so that a single material on one side can provide a sufficient clamping action. It will be. In addition, because it is lightweight and maintains linearity, newspaper paper with more than 30 pages is formed in an accurate unfolded state while being sandwiched, suitable for reading while holding it in hand, and newspapers that are easy to read. Can be easily formed.

As described above, by providing the resilient portion at the intermediate portion of one of the pipe members pivotally attached at one end as described above, the intermediate portion of the newspaper or the like sandwiched therebetween is mainly held at the pivot point. Then, an accurate sandwiching state is formed without requiring a puncture hole or the like.

[0016] As described above, in the case where the pulling force is applied to the locking member by a spline provided inside the pipe material, the paper is formed even when the locking member is provided between the pipe members and the locking portion exists. In the state of being sandwiched between the locking portion and the other pipe, there is substantially no protrusion that applies a tensile force to the locking portion and the locking portion is provided inside the locking portion or the other pipe. It is in a state where it does not work, and the possibility of getting caught on a piece of paper such as newspaper or other objects is recognized.

As described above, it is mainly made of a pipe material having a lightweight and substantially smooth peripheral surface, and as described above, there is no possibility of being caught by newspapers or other objects. A state suitable for reading while the newspaper or the like is widely expanded while being sandwiched is easily formed.

As described above, it is easy to handle, and by forming a state suitable for reading with the middle part folded in the middle of the present invention sandwiched, the newspaper etc. can be read after all the family members etc. have finished reading Also, the orderly state at the time of delivery is maintained, so that the arrangement of old newspapers is also orderly, and it is less likely that the newspaper will be bulky or scattered.

[0019]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A specific embodiment of the present invention as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for newspapers. One example of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 is attached to one end of each of the pipe members 1, 1, and pivot members 2, 2 having the same diameter as the pipe member 1 are attached to the pipe members 1, 1, and are pivotally connected by a pivot 3 so as to be openable and closable.

The above-mentioned pipe members 1 and 1 are preferably formed of an aluminum alloy or a synthetic resin material in order to obtain a lighter weight. An engaging portion 4 having an engaging portion 7 for engaging with the pipe material 1 is provided, and the guide portion 14 of the engaging portion 4 is inserted and guided in the pipe material 1 and The pulling force is applied by the sprung 5 provided inside the pipe 5, that is, the other end of the sprung 5 having one end fixed to the fixed portion 6 in the pipe member 1 is connected to the locking portion 4 and is locked. Even if the part 4 is sufficiently pulled out so that the engaging part 7 comes off, the amount of withdrawal is limited by the sprung 5 so that the guide part 14 is in the inner hole so that it does not come out, and is automatically restored when released. It has become.

The engaging portion 4 is provided with an engaging portion 7 for the other pipe material. The engaging portion 7 is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, an end or an end of the other pipe material 1a. It may be a concave hole for receiving a latch provided in the portion or a latch 7a fitted to an inner hole of the other pipe 1a.

In any one of the pipe members 1 and 1a as described above, a plurality of, especially two, resilient portions 8 are provided at an intermediate portion of the contact surface with the other pipe member. One of the preferred embodiments is a projection formed on the pipe material itself as shown in FIG. 3, wherein the pipe materials 1 and 1a have a length covering the vertical dimension of newsprint. Therefore, even if the material is inflexible in the longitudinal direction, it exhibits a certain elasticity in general over a length of more than 50 cm. Achieves the purpose of pinching by giving a repression effect.

However, it is a matter of course that the resilient portion 8 may be one which can obtain an elastic action in the resilient portion 8 itself, and the resilient portion may be, as shown in FIG. Either one in which resilient portions are formed at both ends or one in which an elastic material 9 is interposed as shown in FIG.

Further, when slippage on the paper surface is not preferable, an elastic material 9a such as rubber can be adopted as shown in FIG. As described above, in the case of using the rubbery elastic material 9a, the slipping of the paper piece can be appropriately prevented, so that the sandwiching of a single piece of paper sheet that is not a center-fold type can be appropriately obtained. As shown in FIG. 5, it is apparent that the elastic member 9a is stably engaged with the small hole 1b formed in the pipe member 1a by being fixed by the constricted portion 19, as shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the shape of each of the pivot portions 2 and 2 is such that a circular arc is employed in both the circumferential surface and the longitudinal direction, and a shape in which no corners or protrusions are formed. By doing so, it is possible to avoid that a piece of paper is caught when the paper is turned up or down.

The pipe materials 1 and 1a are appropriately selected in consideration of the size of the paper surface to be applied. For example, when applied to general newsprint, the outer diameter is 8 to 12 mm.
By setting the degree to such a degree, it becomes suitable for the mounting or interior of each of the members such as the above-mentioned sprung 5 and the pivotally attached portion 2 or the locking portion 4, and furthermore, it is possible to obtain a preferable paper sheet sandwiching. Since a bar or wire having a sufficient cross section has a large weight and exhibits flexibility in the length direction, it is difficult to obtain a preferable sandwiching as in a pipe.

When the clipping device according to the present invention is intended for newsprint, it is natural that at least the pivotal support 3 and the locking portion 4 protrude appropriately longer than its vertical dimension. Therefore, when newspapers and the like are hung and arranged on a separately provided horizontal support, as described above, the pivotal support portion 3 and the locking portion 4 projecting longer than the vertical length of the newspapers are supported by the horizontal support and arranged. Can be. However, a locking member such as a chain may be provided at an intermediate portion of any of the pipe members so that the arrangement can be properly performed when there is no particular horizontal member or the like.

The operation of using the present invention will be described. The locking with the other pipe is released by pulling the locking portion 4 provided on one of the pipes against the elasticity of the spline. The two pipe members 1, 1a can be opened and closed appropriately around the pivot portion, and a central bent line portion such as newspaper is positioned between the two pipe members 1, 1a. 1, 1a is closed again and the locking portion 4 is locked to the other pipe material 1a, whereby the clamping is completed. That is, the clamping is mainly performed by the resilient portion 8 without special drilling or the like. A sandwiched state can be formed.

Since the pinching pressure between the two pipe members 1 and 1a is pinching at the overlapped circumferential contact portion, the pipe member itself is narrower than in the case of a long flat plate member or a rectangular cross-section member, and furthermore, the pinching portion is substantially formed. Is a straight line, and is located at an intermediate position of the width of the pipe material, so that the article at the back of the sandwiched portion can be appropriately read. In other words, it is possible to read a newspaper or the like while holding it in the middle while holding a relatively long central portion of the newspaper such as a newspaper in a straight line with a lightweight clipping tool in the vertical direction.

In other words, the sandwiched newspaper or the like is not spread particularly on a table or the like, and the clipping portion is held with one hand and the paper is unfolded with the other hand. Read in a normal natural posture without taking an unnatural posture as if crouching, and of course, smoothly fold the middle-folded one without folding it again in two, four, etc. Read on.

As described above, a newspaper which is read while being sandwiched by the center folded portion, and which is read without further folding, folding, and other operations is naturally arranged in order at the time of delivery. Maintaining the barrel state,
Since there is no wrinkles or other occurrences, it is natural that even after reading by all, the organization and handling of old newspapers will be orderly and compact, and the possibility of scattering will be small. is there.

In the above-described embodiment, the description has been made mainly for newspaper magazines. However, the present invention can be modified and executed not only in the gazette but also in the official gazette under substantially the same conditions by appropriately considering the dimensional conditions. Is clear.

[0033]

According to the present invention as described above, both pipe members can be sandwiched by a one-touch operation of the locking portion, easy to handle, lightweight and compact, and even when the bent portion is sandwiched. As it is sandwiched at the intermediate contact point in the width direction of the article, it is not possible to read the article part or form a difficult-to-read state. The entire newspaper was read in a simple and normal natural posture, and as a result, the state of the old newspaper after all the members had read it was orderly. There is no need to fold and organize them, which makes it very easy to organize and handle them. , It is a great invention of the effect.
