The pinching tool 1 as described above is suitable for a laundry pinching that is usually used by hanging a large number of hanging members 40 on a frame of a clothes drying tool (not shown) such as a square hanger.

According to the clip 1 of this embodiment, the following operational effects can be obtained.
(A) The clip tool 1 includes a main body 10 having a pair of pinch portions 13 at one end and a pair of knob portions 14 at the other end, and pinch members 30 respectively provided on the pinch portions 13 of the main body 10. The sandwiching member 30 is configured to be detachable from the sandwiching portion 13 of the main body 10, and the sandwiching member 13 is configured such that the thickness or shape is changed between the sandwiching side and the opposite side. According to the above, by attaching at least one of the pinching members 30 to the pinching portion 13 with the pinching side and the opposite side reversed, it is possible to obtain different pinching tools for one main body 10 and a pair of pinching members 30. Can do.
Therefore, a user who has purchased the clip 1 can obtain substantially different types of clip with one clip 1.

(B) This pinching tool 1 includes a main body 10 in which a single wire 11 is bent to form a coil spring portion 12 at the center, a pair of pinching portions 13 at one end, and a pair of knobs 14 at the other end. , A finger pad 20 attached to the knob 14 of the main body 10, and a pair of finger pads 21 fitted to the pair of knobs 14. Since the finger pad 20 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin, the finger pad 20 is integrally formed with a synthetic resin. By inserting the body 20 and inserting the pinching member 30 into the pinching portion 13, the pinching tool 1 is completed. Therefore, it is easy to manufacture.
In addition, since the finger pad 20 is made of synthetic resin, it is softer and less slippery than metal. Therefore, the operability is improved (it is easier to pick the knob).
Moreover, since the finger pad 20 has a pair of finger pads 21 that are respectively attached to the pair of knobs 14, compared to a conventional clip tool in which no finger pads are provided on the knob, Further, the operability is improved.
Moreover, since the finger pad 20 has a pair of finger pads 21 that are fitted and fitted in the pair of knobs 14, respectively, and is connected by an elastic connecting part 22, one finger pad 21 is temporarily connected to the knob 14. Even if the finger rests are removed, the finger rests 20 are not likely to be lost unless both finger rests 21 are removed from the knob 14.
Furthermore, although the pair of finger rests 21 are connected by the connecting part 22, the connecting part 22 has elasticity, so that the operability when picking the knob part 14 is not impaired.

(C) The elastic connecting portion 22 is a connecting portion to which a suspension member 40 for hanging the clip 1 is connected, and the elastic connecting portion 22 connects the upper ends of the inner surfaces 21b of the pair of finger rest portions 21; The finger rest part 21 has a groove part 21c1 that fits from below to the knob part 14 of the main body 10. Therefore, it is necessary to separately provide a connecting part to which the hanging member 40 for hanging the clip 1 is connected. At the same time, when the clip 1 is suspended by the suspension member 40, a force acts in the direction in which the finger pad 21 bites into the knob 14 of the main body 10. Therefore, it is difficult for the finger pad 21 to be detached from the main body 10. Therefore, it becomes possible to suspend a relatively heavy object (for example, laundry) with the clip 1.

(D) The elastic connecting portion 22 is a connecting portion to which a C-ring-like suspension member 40 for suspending the clip 1 is connected, and the elastic connecting portion 22 is a thin belt for connecting a pair of finger rests 21 to each other. And a central portion 22b is formed at the central portion thereof to form a connecting portion with the suspension member 40, and the C-ring-shaped suspension member 40 is connected to the elastic connection portion 22 from the thin belt portion 22a. Since it is configured to be attached, the suspension member 40 can be easily attached by passing the thin belt portion 22a through the gap of the C-ring-shaped suspension member 40. By moving to the thick portion 22b, a connection state excellent in strength between the elastic connecting portion 22 and the suspension member 40 can be obtained. Therefore, even when a relatively heavy object (for example, laundry) is sandwiched and suspended by the clip 1, the elastic connecting portion 22 is not easily damaged.

(E) The knob portion 14 of the main body 10 has a substantially raccoon shape when viewed from the side, and the finger pad portion 21 is fitted to the knob portion 14 so as not to rotate with respect to the knob direction. The fact that the knob 14 cannot rotate with respect to the picking direction improves the operability when picking the knob.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the main body is constituted by a bent product of one wire, but the present invention can also be applied when the main body is a molded product made of synthetic resin.
In the above-described embodiment, the pair of sandwiching members 30 is configured such that neither the sandwiching side nor the opposite side is thicker or the shape is changed. However, at least one of the sandwiching members 30 is opposite to the sandwiching side. It is good also as a structure which is not thick with the side and changed the shape.
