[Embodiment of device]

 FIG. 1 shows a front view of the paper clip with a part cut away, and FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the paper clip when viewed from the side. The paper clip 1 is composed of a main body 2 and an operating component 3 that can move up and down with respect to the main body 2. The paper clip 1 is magnetically attached to a metal wall surface or the like. In that state, as shown in FIG. 2, when the paper P is inserted into the paper clip 1 from below, the paper P is pinched. Further, when the lower part of the surface plate 3 is pushed rearward with a finger or the like, the operating component 4 is vigorously projected upward. When the operating component 4 is pushed upward from the main body 2 by pushing the operating component 4 downward with a finger or the like, the lower part of the operating component 4 is immersed in the main body 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 2 includes a base 5 to which a magnet M is attached, and an inner frame 6 to which a pressing roller R that holds the paper P between the base 5 and the base 5 is attached. A mechanical cover 7 for covering the lower end of the inner frame 6, a surface plate 3, and a joint member 8 for connecting the surface plate 3 to the base 5 are provided.

As shown in FIGS. 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (d), claw members 9 are provided on the front surface of the base 5 so as to project leftward and rightward. The left and right claw members 9 are provided at predetermined intervals in the width direction. The left and right claw members 9 straddle the inner frame 6 and enter the left and right claw holes 7a (see FIGS. 5A and 5C) of the mechanical cover 7, and the claws engage with the edges of the claw holes 7a. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the inner frame 6 is interposed between the base 5 and the mechanical cover 7 and can move up and down within a predetermined range. As shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, the inner frame 6 is provided with a rectangular opening 6a at the center. A hook 6b is provided on the upper edge of the opening 6a. A bearing portion 6c is provided at the lower end of the inner frame 6, and the shaft of the pressing roller R is supported by the bearing portion 6c as shown in FIG.

At the center of the mechanical cover 7, a hook 7b is provided as shown in FIGS. 5 (a), 5 (b) and 5 (c). A pulling spring 10 is hung between the hook 7b and the hook 6b of the inner frame 6. As described above, the left and right claw members 9 of the base 5 are inserted into the left and right claw holes 7a of the mechanical cover 7 (see FIGS. 5A and 5C). Since it is slightly larger than the thickness of the claw member 9, the mechanical cover 7 can move up and down with respect to the base 5, although it is a little. On the other hand, a roller guide portion 7c is formed at the lower end of the mechanical cover 7 and is inclined inward and downward. Since the mechanical cover 7 is urged upward by the action of the pulling spring 8, the back surface of the inclined portion 7c functions to urge the pressing roller R 1 supported by the inner frame 7 toward the base 5 side. As a result, the paper P can be held between the pressing roller R and the wall surface of the base 5.

The surface plate 3 shown in FIGS. 6A, 6 </ b> B, and 6 </ b> C is attached to the base 5 via a joint member 8. That is, the joint member 8 is screwed to the surface plate 3. As shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the joint member 8 has left and right claw members 8a protruding inward. The two claw members 8a enter into the claw holes 5b (see FIGS. 3A and 3C) in the upper part of the base 5, and the claws engage with the edges of the claw holes 5b. In this case, the engagement between the edge of the claw hole 5b and the claw has some play, and the surface plate 3 can be moved back and forth with the vicinity of the claw as a fulcrum. A portion indicated by reference numeral 8b in FIGS. 7A and 7C is an elastic piece (return spring) for contacting the mechanical cover 7 and returning the surface plate 3 to the original position.

A lower side of the operating component 4 constitutes an insertion piece 4a (see FIG. 8A). This insertion piece 4a is inserted between the base 5 and the joint member 8 in a retaining state (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 8B, a step portion 4b is provided on the neck portion of the operating component 4. Then, when the operating component 4 is pushed into the main body 2, the upper edge of the surface plate 3 can be engaged with the step portion 4b by the operation of the elastic piece 8b. As a result, the lower end of the operating component 4 is held in the main body 2 in a state of being submerged. It should be noted that when the operating component 4 is pushed into the main body 2, the surface plate 3 has a structure in which the surface plate 3 escapes slightly forward against the biasing force of the elastic piece 8b. When the lower part (operator) of the surface plate 3 is pushed inward, the stepped portion 4b is disengaged from the upper edge of the surface plate 3, and the operating component 4 is hung between the base 5 and the operating part 4. The push spring 11 (see FIG. 2) acts so as to project upward.

According to the paper clip 1 configured as described above, since the operating component 4 operates by pressing the operating element, the user can enjoy watching the change in the form of the operating component. . Also, if the initial form before the action and the final form after the action are made different, it will be useful because it can be used to warn the presence of the message memo when the message memo etc. is sandwiched.

The invention made by the present inventor has been described above based on the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. It is possible.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the operating component 4 is operated by pressing the surface plate 3. However, one or both of the left and right of the main body 2 is provided with a pressing element (operating element), and The operating component 4 may be operated by pinching the pusher with a finger.

Further, although the pressing roller R is used to hold the paper P in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to a general paper clip that does not use the pressing roller R.
