DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clip, in which shallow edges of a large number of sheets of paper such as documents are easily sandwiched between a pair of sandwiching plates without using a mounting tool or a lever arm. For clips that can be.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a clip for sandwiching a shallow edge portion from the edge of paper such as a large number of documents,
There was a clip disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-79679. In this clip, the clip is inserted into the edge of a large number of thick documents from the backless portion where the back is cut off. There is also a clip disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H8-267976. This clip extends from the back surface to a direction opposite to the holding portion and between the protruding portions facing each other. A clip was inserted into the rim.

[0003]

In a conventional clip, a large number of documents or the like are pressed with fingers so that the edges do not bulge, and the thickness of the pressed edges is not large enough to be a backless part or the like. Since the paper is inserted from between the facing protrusions that are slightly wider than the width of the back part, there is a possibility that paper that does not fit between these widths or between them may be formed, so that attention and care must be taken to insert all the paper. As described above, the substantial insertion portion of the clip toward the edge of a document or the like is narrow at the back side. For this reason, when inserting a clip into a document, the hand holding the clip, the edge of the document, and the insertion portion of the clip come close to each other. There were many drawbacks, such as swirling and turning. The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the papers are not separated from the edges of a large number of papers, and the papers can be easily aligned with the edges of the papers by hand with a clip, so that the paper can be easily inserted. The point is how to take measures that can be taken.

[0004]

A clip according to the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and is as follows. That is, a pair of opposing holding plates (2) is provided with an extension (4) extending laterally without providing a back from the end of the back (1), and the side of the extension (4) is turned sideways. By forming a three-dimensionally intersecting insertion portion as a concave valley portion (8), the width can be made wider without being particular about the width of the back portion (1), and it is easy to match with the edge of a document or the like, and a clip is provided. The hand can also be a clip that does not approach the edge of the paper and is easy to insert.

According to the present invention, the elastic plate is bent so that the back (1)
And the back portion (1) on both sides opposed to form a pair of holding plates (2) of paper in contact with the free end portions of the holding plates (2)
Such a clip that forms a clamping portion for clamping (4), that the holding plate (2) facing extending laterally without providing the back (1) from the end of the back (1) both Extensions (4) and (4 ') are provided. The side that is the tip side of one of the extensions (4) is the upper side (5) that is the back side
Is formed as an inclined side (7) inclined toward the lower side (6) on the holding portion side. Then, on one side of the other extension (4 '), which is the tip side, one extension (4)
Is formed as an inclined side (7 ') inclined in reverse to the inclination provided in the above. These pair of inclined sides (7), (7 ')
Are in a three-dimensional intersecting state with a gap without contacting each other to form a valley (8) which is laterally withdrawn, and this valley (8) forms the clip (9). It is a part to be inserted into the edge of paper such as a document.

When binding paper such as a document from the valley (8) of the present invention, the surface of the back part (1) and the paper surface of the document or the like are parallel to each other, and a large number of paper edges are formed in the valley (8). Pressing while pressing into the inside, a pair of intersecting inclined sides (7),
The entire clip (9) is rotated by the inclination of (7 '). At this time, the clip twists around without feeling resistance, and the paper surface and the holding plate (2) are in a parallel state, so that the paper edge hits the end of the back (1). The longer the length of the inclined sides (7), (7 ') is, the easier the rotation of the clip (9) becomes. Thereafter, if the clip (9) is turned by 90 degrees so that the spine (1) and the edge of the sheet come into contact with each other, the binding of the sheet such as a document is completed. If the clip (9) is twisted during the 90-degree turn, the twist of the facing extension portions (4) and (4 ') opens the holding portion (3), so that the clip (9) can be held more smoothly. Can be.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A basic embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view. The clip (9) is press-formed using a single thin metal plate made of stainless steel or the like. This clip (9)
Is a back (1) having a square planar shape and the back (1)
And a pair of holding plates (2) and (2 ') provided continuously, and the free ends of both holding plates (2) and (2') are joined to make contact with paper or the like. 3) is formed. And
Each of the holding plates (2) and (2 ') is provided with an extension (4) extending in the lateral direction and facing the end without the back (1) from the end of the back (1).

The side of the one extension portion (4), which is the tip side, is formed as an inclined side (7) inclined from the upper side (5), which is the back side, to the lower side (6), which is the holding portion side. doing. The other side (4 ') is formed as an inclined side (7') that is opposite to the slope provided on the one extension (4). Thus, in FIG. 1, the lower side (6) extends from the end of the holding portion (3), and both inclined sides are seen from the direction in which the facing extension portions (4) and (4 ') are viewed in an overlapping manner. (7) and (7 ') are three-dimensionally crossed. This three-dimensional intersection forms a valley (8) that is laterally concave at the center.

When the clip (9) is to be inserted into the edge of a large number of sheets of paper such as a document, the paper surface and the surface of the back (1) are at right angles, and the paper edge is inserted into the concave valley (8). When pressed, the clip (9) twists and the paper edge stops against the edge of the back (1). Thereafter, if the clip (9) is turned 90 degrees so that the back (1) and the edge of the sheet come into contact with each other, the sheet enters between the sandwiching plates (2) and (2 '),
The binding is completed by bringing the paper edge into contact with the back (1).

The clip (9) shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2 has a knob (10) in a direction opposite to the extension (4) of the holding plate (2) in order to handle the clip (9) more smoothly.
The back (1) is provided with a concave portion (11) for improving the hook of the fingertip when turning the clip (9). The recess (11) may be rubber, a protrusion, a hole, or the like, and the knob (10) may have various shapes as shown in the front views of FIGS. As shown in the front view of FIG. 5, when the inclined side (7) is elongated without providing the lower side (6) of the extension part (4), the valley (8) becomes deeper and the clip at the paper edge of a document or the like is formed. (9) Twisting becomes smooth.

That is, the shape of the valley (8) such as deep and shallow or wide and narrow is a pair of opposing extensions (4),
It can be formed by making the shape of (4 ') various, and as shown in FIG. 3, the lengths of the pair of inclined sides (7) and (7') are not the same. 6, the curved side (7) is curved as shown in FIG. 6 so that the lengths of the pair of inclined sides (7) and (7 ') are not the same, or as shown in FIG. 8) can be widened, and the inclined side (7) can be extended to the lower side of the back (1).

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. FIG. 8 and FIG.
It is a front view of a clip (9). In the one shown in FIG.
The extension portions (4) and (4 ') facing each other in a state where both inclined sides (7) and (7') are three-dimensionally intersecting with each other are sandwiched by the holding plates (2) and (4).
It is provided on both left and right sides of (2 '), and the extension parts (4) and (4') provided on both right and left sides are not symmetrical. In the clip (9) shown in FIG.
The extensions (4) and (4 '') provided to the left and right sides are symmetrical. Extension (4),
In FIG. 8 where (4 ″) is not symmetrical, if the back (1) is held up, the clip (9) is rotated by 180 degrees to extend the left and right extensions (4) and (4 ″). When the direction is reversed, the extension (4 '') becomes a downwardly sloped side (7 ''''), and the state does not change. When the clip (9) in the state of the inclined side (7) descending to the right is bound by the right hand, the twist of the clip (9) becomes a clockwise twist, and the turning of the clip (9) turns right. This is an operation in a direction that is easy to move.

On the other hand, in the clip (9) shown in FIG. 9, the extension portions (4) and (4 '') provided to the left and right sides are provided.
Are symmetrical. This is because when the back (1) is held up, the clip (9) is rotated by 180 degrees and the left and right extensions (4) and (4 '') are reversed when the extension (4 '') is reversed. ) Is changed to the upper right. Therefore, when the clip (9) is bound with the right hand, the twist of the clip (9) becomes a counterclockwise twist, and the turn of the clip (9) is an operation in a hard-to-move direction in which the clip (9) turns left. Therefore, the clip (9) in FIG.
Generally, it is easy to use.

In addition to providing a hole in the extension portion (4) described above and forming the clip (9) with an elastic metal material such as a stainless steel thin plate, it is also possible to mold using a synthetic resin material. In addition to paper sheets such as documents to be sandwiched, sheets, bag openings, cards, and the like of synthetic resins and the like can be targeted. As the clip for the bag mouth, it is conceivable to make the clip (9) long.

When the clip (9) holding the paper or the like is removed, the user grips both holding plates (2) and (2 ') with his / her finger and pulls the holding plate (2) or (2') away from the edge of the paper or the like. ) Can be removed. At this time, the holding plate (2),
In order to prevent the contact surface between (2 ') and the finger from slipping, rubber or resin having a large sliding friction resistance is provided on the surfaces of the holding plates (2) and (2'), or a projection or It is conceivable to provide a hole or the like.

[0016]

The clip (9) according to the present invention has a valley (8) which is three-dimensionally crossed by the inclined sides (7) and (7 ').
Gathers a large number of paper edges such as documents, and the twist of the clip (9) serves as a force to open the holding portion (3), so that the binding can be performed smoothly and without care. Also,
Since there is a distance between the finger holding the clip and the valley (8) into which the clip (9) is inserted, the finger can be easily fitted to the edge of the sheet. The size of the clip can be made suitable for applications such as office supplies, bag supplies, kitchen supplies, and the like, and there is the advantage that the shape can be variously added.
