Description

The present invention relates to a binder clip for stationery supplies for binding printed paper, and more particularly, to an improvement of a binder clip that can hold a document with a strong holding force by operating the binder clip with a weak force.

As a conventional technique of this kind, a binder clip shown in FIG. 7.8.9 is generally known and widely used. As shown in FIG. 9, the clip portion 101 of the triangular clip body 101 made of a thin metal spring material has a lever body 404, 404 ′ provided in the pair of clip portions 202 as shown in FIG. 7.8. The lever members 404, 404 ′ made of wire rods which are inserted into and engaged with a pair of curled shaft support portions 303.303 ′ set at one corner separated from the clip body 101 are opened. Thus, the terminal portion 404a, 404a ′ of both lever bodies 404, 404 ′ is picked with a fingertip and an operating force is applied in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. Open while receiving.

In this way, the lever clip 404 and 404 ′ are both held in a state where the binder clip can be folded with an appropriate hardness on the shaft support portion 303.

When the user binds paper such as documents and prints, these prepared binder clips are opened by opening both lever bodies 404 and 404 'as shown in FIG. By pressing the terminal portions 40a and 40a ′, as shown in FIG. 9, the pinching portion 2 is opened by the operating force in the direction of arrow A, but the fulcrum portion 505505 ′ of the U-shaped bending portion of the clip body 101 is supported as a fulcrum. As a clip body according to the thickness of a predetermined print a, both ends of the lever bodies 404 and 404 ′ engaged with the shaft support portions 303 and 303 ′ provided in the clip part 101 of the clip body 101 are directed in the arrow B direction. By opening while receiving the elastic force of 101 (the direction opposite to the direction of arrow B), the closed clip portion 101 is closed by the elastic force of the clip body 101 at both the axial support portions 303 and 303 ′. Print a is binding.

When several stapled prints a are stacked and stored, the opened lever bodies 404 and 404 'are tilted down so that the documents can be stored without being bulky.

However, the above-mentioned conventional binder clips can be selected at the store in various sizes of the same size, and several print bindings can be of small size with weak holding power depending on the number of prints and documents to be bound. As the number of prints increases and the thickness increases, a binder clip with a large holding part that has a strong holding force is used, but as the size increases, the resilience of the clip body increases and opens it. There is a problem that a force on the fingertip that sandwiches the necessary lever body is required to be quite strong.

That is, with this type of binder clip, the lever body for picking with the fingertips is a metal wire, so it is painful when the load is concentrated on the fingertips. There are issues such as coming.

In this way, if the clip body is large and has a strong holding force, a correspondingly strong resilience is required, and there is a strong demand for a binder clip that requires a small amount of force to support these strong resiliences. It had been.

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention proposes the invention according to claim 1, as described in FIGS. 1 to 6, one corner of a triangular clip body 1 made of a metal spring material thin plate is separated. Both of them are joined so as to be openable and closable with a predetermined opening width by their own elastic force.

The lever bodies 4 and 4 'used for opening and closing means are made of wire rod metal at both joint sides of the clip body 1 at one corner of the clip part 1 which can be separated and joined freely. It equips with the axial support part 3,3 'which consists of a pair which carries out loose locking.

The surface of the clip body 1 and a part of the lever bodies 4 and 4 ′ are adjacent to the shaft supports 3 and 3 ′ of the pair of lever bodies 4 and 4 ′ that are loosely locked by the shaft support portions 3 and 3 ′. Are connected to each other as a fulcrum, so that the fulcrum portions 5 and 5 'having a protruding shape are provided on either side.

Alternatively, a part of the surface of the clip body 1 adjacent to the shaft support portions 3 and 3 'is cut so that a part of the lever body 4 and 4' having no protruding shape is joined as a fulcrum. 5.5 'is provided.

In this manner, the lever A can be used to reduce the pressing pressure A, which is operated by picking both the terminal portions 4a and 4a 'with the fingertips when the lever bodies 4 and 4' are open.

Since the present invention operates as described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained. That is, as described in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 in the first embodiment, the force points of the lever bodies 4 and 4 ′ loosely engaged with the shaft support portions 3 and 3 ′ of the clip portion 2 of the spring clip body 1 are obtained. Since the lever body having the fulcrum parts 5 and 5 'adjacent to the fulcrum can be pressed A to the terminal parts 4a and 4a' that are the longest from the fulcrum, the printed clip a that is strongly clamped can be operated with a weak pressing pressure. Can be provided.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a binder that can be operated with a weak pressing force A by having fulcrum portions 5 and 5 'provided on the surface of the clip body 1 adjacent to the shaft support portions 3 and 3'. Can provide clips.

In addition, as described in FIGS. 5 and 6, as another embodiment, by providing fulcrum portions 5 and 5 ′ at the cut surface in a part of the surface of the clip body 1, a binder clip equivalent to the above effect can be provided. .
In other words, a fulcrum is provided near the power point dynamically and a load (pressing pressure A) is applied to a location far from the fulcrum.

Further details will be described below based on the illustrated embodiment. That is, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the overall configuration of the present invention, which is composed of two parts, and includes a pinching portion 2 for holding and holding a print a that is a triangular body and can be freely opened at one corner. The clip body 1 is a metal spring material thin plate, and the pinching portion 2 is always closed by the elastic force.

The joining side of the freely separable cuff portion 2 at the separation of one corner of these triangular bodies is a curled shape, and the shaft support portions 3 and 3 ′ formed by pairs in which the wire rods are loosely locked are integrated. Lever bodies 4 and 4 ′ made of wire rods for opening the portion 2 are installed by being inserted into the curled pinching portion 2 so as to be foldable (turnable).

Thus, the two parts, that is, the lever body 4, 4 ′ of the binder clip composed of the clip body 1 and the lever bodies 4, 4 ′ are inserted into the curled shape of the clip body 1 to be loosely locked and folded. The fulcrum portions 5 and 5 ′, which are partly projecting as close as possible to the free shaft support portions 3 and 3 ′, form and act on the surface of the clip body 1 to join the fulcrums.

Next, FIG. 2 shows the lever bodies 4 and 4 ′ according to the present invention as an open body, and the lever bodies 4 and 4 ′ having a protruding shape on the surface of the clip body 1 are moved in the direction of the arrow A during operation. By pinching the terminal portion of the clip body 1 with a fingertip and applying a pressing force A, the shaft support portions 3, 3 'provided on the clip portion 1 of the clip body 1 with the fulcrum portions 5, 5' as fulcrums on the surface of the clip body 1 are the power points. The pin part 2 opens the pin part 2 which is strong in the lever type with a weak force.

3 shows that the pinch portion 2 that is strongly closed by the elastic force of the clip body 1 (the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow B) is the shaft support portions 3, 3 by the action of the fulcrum on the surface of the clip body 1. It opens by a predetermined width in the direction of arrow B, and a document such as a print a is sandwiched and can be held by the elastic force of the clip body 1.

Next, the fulcrum portions 5 and 5 ′ in the first embodiment have a protruding shape on the surface of the clip body 1, thereby constituting a fulcrum function. In this case, since the protruding shape of the lever body 4.4 'is not required, it is sufficient that either side of the lever body 4.4' has a fulcrum function configuration.

Next, also in FIG. 5.6, the fulcrum of the lever body 4.4 ′ described above is obtained by cutting the side portion of the shaft support portion 3.3 ′ on the plane of the clip body 1, By mounting the curled shaft support portion 3.3 ′ so as to face the inner surface, the side of the cut end acts as a fulcrum portion 5.5 ′. Based on the lever principle, the clip body 1 The pressing force A of the operating force can be reduced by setting the shaft supporting part 3.3 ′ sandwiching the document as a power point and setting the supporting point part 5.5 ′ adjacent thereto.

In this way, the configuration and operation of the binder clip in the prior art is shown in FIG. 7.8.9. As shown in FIG. The configuration is such that the edge of the U-shaped bent portion of the clip body 101 far from 303.303 ′ (equivalent to the power point) is adjacent to the fulcrum portion 505.505 ′ (equivalent to the fulcrum), and the operating pressure A requires a large operating force. It turns out that.

The extra large size operating force of this kind of widely used binder clip requires considerable fingertips to obtain a powerful document holding force, but it can be reduced to a fraction by setting the fulcrum in the present invention. The ability value to reduce the burden on the fingertip is proved.
