[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the case 21 has a shape in which a linear middle rail portion 11 is integrally provided inside an annular outer ring portion 10. That is, the linear middle rail portion 1 arranged inside the outer ring portion 10
The front and rear ends of 1 are connected to two opposing positions in the outer ring portion 10. The middle rail portion 11 passes through the central portion of the outer ring portion 10.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21 is capable of accommodating therein a ring-shaped clip supply ring 12 which is also rotatable in the circumferential direction. The clip supply ring 12 has a structure in which a large number of clips 1 can be arranged and loaded in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a cartridge 1 in which a large number of clips 1 are stored in advance in a ring-shaped clip supply ring 12 over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction.
It is preferable that the cartridge 13 is configured to be detachable from the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21. In addition,
As shown in FIG. 8, it is preferable that the cartridge 13 is provided in the cover 22, and the user removes the cover 22 and mounts it on the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21.
The back plate portion 3 (see FIG. 1) of the clip 1 has a clip supply ring 1
It is located on the center side of 2 and is housed in an orientation such that the front end portion is located outside in the radial direction.

The clip supply ring 12 rotates in the circumferential direction inside the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21 while holding a large number of clips 1, and the inner periphery of the clip supply ring 12 serves as a component of a mechanism for rotating the clip supply ring 12. A large number of teeth 14 are continuously provided along the entire circumference.

Further, a clip discharge port 15 is provided on the outer surface of the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21 at a position in front of where the front end of the middle crosspiece 11 is connected. Then, clip expanding springs 16 are installed on both sides inside the clip discharge port 15, respectively.

It is preferable that the middle cross section 11 of the case 21 has a thickness that can be held by a palm so that it can be used as a handle. A clip push-out operation body 17 is attached to the middle crosspiece 11 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The clip pushing-out operation body 17 can be moved forward by pushing it with a finger, but it is equipped with a return spring 18 and is automatically pulled back by being pulled by the return spring 18.

When the clip pushing operation body 17 is advanced,
As shown in FIG. 4, the front end thereof enters the inside of the outer ring portion 10 and also enters the inside of the clip supply ring 12,
The clip 1 is pushed by hitting the back plate portion 3 of the clip 1 located right behind the clip discharge port 15. Then, the clip 1 pushed by the clip pushing-out operation body 17 advances and is discharged from the clip discharge port 15. At that time, the clip expanding spring 16 opens the leaf spring portions 2A, 2B. , A leaf spring portion 2A in which an end portion of the document 8 placed in front of the clip discharge port 15 is opened,
2B will be caught. In this way, the document 8 is held by the clip 1.

When the finger is released from the clip pushing-out operation body 17,
As described above, the force of the return spring 18 causes the clip pushing-out operation body 1
7 retreats automatically. A claw piece 19 is installed behind the clip pushing-out operation body 17. The claw piece 19 constitutes a rotating mechanism of the clip supply ring 12 together with the tooth 14 described above. As shown in FIG. 4, when the clip push-out operation body 17 moves forward, the claw piece 19 is pulled by the spring 20 so that it is inclined with respect to the middle crosspiece 11 and the clip supply ring 1
It engages with one of the teeth 14 provided on the inner peripheral edge of 2. And
When the clip pushing-out operation body 17 is retracted, as shown in FIG. 3, the claw piece 19 is brought into contact with the rear end portion of the clip pushing-out operation body 17 and the lower surface portion is pushed up, so that the claw piece 19 is parallel to the middle crosspiece portion 11. The posture is changed, and the orientation of the pawl piece 19 is changed at this time, so that the clip supply ring 12 in which the pawl piece 19 and the tooth 14 are engaged is rotated by a certain angle. The rotation angle of the clip supply ring 12 is located next to the clip 1 discharged from the clip discharge port 15 by the clip push-out operation body 17 before that, and the clip 1 to be discharged next is just the clip discharge port. The angle is set to correspond to the distance to the rear position of 15.

When the clip push-out operating body 17 is retracted as described above, the next clip 1 is automatically set at the rear position of the clip discharge port 15. Therefore, if the clip push-out operating body 17 is moved forward again, the clip 1 is continuously moved. Documents 8 can be clamped and held by the clip 1.

The number of clips 1 loaded in the clip supply ring 12 depends on the length of the circumference of the clip supply ring 12, but if it is too large, it becomes difficult to use.
The size is preferably such that about 60 clips 1 can be loaded.

[0017]

According to the clip pinching prevention device of the present invention, the clip 1 can be loaded on the entire circumference of the rotatable ring-shaped clip supply ring 12 housed inside the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21. It is possible to remarkably increase the number of clips 1 that can be loaded. Therefore, unlike the conventional product, the clip 1 is not used up during use,
There is no need to replenish clip 1 frequently.

In the clip accommodating cartridge for the clip pinching device of the present invention, the clip 1 is preliminarily loaded on the entire circumference of the clip supply ring 12, and the clip 1 can be attached to and detached from the outer ring portion 10 of the case 21. When the cartridge has been used up, only the cartridge 13 needs to be replaced, and it is convenient to load the clips 1 into the outer ring portion 10 of the case 10 one by one, which is convenient.
