Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to the invention of a newspaper clipping tool, and provides a newspaper clipping tool that is easy to handle, lightweight and bulky, and does not interfere with articles near the gripping portion. This is what I am trying to do.

0002

[Prior Art] A clamping tool for holding a newspaper folded in two and locking it on a rack, and then removing it for viewing, has been widely known for a long time. etc. are arranged in parallel, the middle folded part of the newspaper is inserted into these, and a presser plate is also inserted, and the flexible inserts are bent and attached to the presser plate. It is common to press with a slideable presser metal fitting. The same thing is being done for official gazettes and other matters.

[0003] Also, in recent years, instead of the wooden stand piece as described above, a metal stand piece 20 and a holding piece 21 are used as shown in FIG. There is a commercially available device in which the folded part of the newspaper is placed in the middle, and the fasteners 22 which are inserted into both ends of the presser piece 21 and screwed onto the base piece 20 are tightened and held.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a flexible insert 24 is arranged on a metal base piece 23, the middle folded part of the newspaper is inserted, and a presser piece 26 is also inserted into the insert. After wearing the presser piece 26
It is also known that a slide 25 provided at the side holds down the flexible insertion piece 24, and a handle or a locking part is attached in the middle.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In any case, the above-mentioned conventional products are quite large and bulky, and have an angular structure, so that when they are handled, the paper pieces such as newspapers or other objects may be damaged. Easy to get caught.

[0006] In the case where a wooden base piece is used or a flexible insert piece is arranged as shown in FIG. 7, the insertion operation is complicated because holes must be made in each newspaper. Furthermore, in the case of the one shown in FIG. 6, it is extremely troublesome to rotate the screwed fasteners to tighten or release the fasteners.

Furthermore, in any case, the middle part of the sandwiched newspaper or one side of the paper is held down by a presser piece or the like to a certain width, making it impossible to read articles near the pressed middle part. In many cases, it is impossible to read the paper unless the jammed state is loosened and the paper is pried open.

In any case, it is generally difficult to read a newspaper or the like while holding it in your hand, especially in the case of a large paper such as a general newspaper, because it is large and heavy. To read a newspaper, etc., you have to place it on the table and bend down to read it, which makes it difficult to read. For evening newspapers with a small number of papers, the clipping device is considerably heavier than the newspaper, making it extremely difficult to handle the newspaper for reading.

[0009] Due to the above-mentioned circumstances, even if newspaper clippers are available, they are often not actually used, and newspapers are often read as they are delivered. However, even if the newspaper is in good order when it is delivered, the orderly state of the newspaper becomes disorganized as the pages are turned over and read. In particular, newspapers are generally large, exceeding 50cm on a side even when folded in the middle, and are simply pieces of paper that bend easily, making them difficult to read. In some places, it is common to read a book that is folded in the center as described above and then folded in two or four, and the creases of these two or four folds are naturally irregular. While the irregular two-fold and four-fold folds are read repeatedly, the orderly condition of the newspaper at the time of delivery naturally becomes disorganized and bulky. Therefore, the newspapers that family members and others have finished reading are messy and bulky, and it is not easy to keep them in order as old newspapers.

0010

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been studied to solve each of the problems in the conventional products as described above, and uses pipe materials having a circular cross section, and also provides locking or locking at both ends of the pipe materials. By employing a pivoting configuration, we have succeeded in solving all of the problems of the conventional devices as described above, and the details are as follows.

[0011] A clamping tool for clamping one side of a center-folded part of a newspaper or official gazette is formed of a pipe member pivotably connected to one end so that it can be opened and closed, and the other end of the pipe member is attached to the other end of the pipe member. A locking member is provided with a tensile force applied by a spring incorporated in the pipe material, and an engaging portion that engages and disengages from the locking member is formed at the other end of the other pipe material, and A clipper for newspapers, etc., characterized by having a pressing part provided in the middle part of one side of the pipe material.

0012

[Function] The clamping tool, which is supposed to clamp one side of the center-folded part of a newspaper or official gazette, is made of a pipe material that is pivotally attached to one end so that it can be opened and closed, making the clamping tool relatively narrow and lightweight. At the same time, the inner hole of the pipe material is used to mount the pivot member, the spring, etc., and prevent these members from protruding further. In particular, newspapers and the like are actually clamped at a tangent to the circumferential surface of the pipe with a round cross section (in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface), so the pinching distance for the newspaper is very small, making it possible to read the entire article while being clamped. becomes possible.

[0013] At the other end of one of the pipe materials pivotally connected at one end as described above, a locking member body to which a tensile force is applied by a spring built in the pipe material is provided; Since the other end of the pipe material is formed with an engaging part that engages and disengages with the locking part body, the middle part of newspaper or the like can be sandwiched between the two pipes for tight locking. Few members are exposed on the outside, and the locking member is shaped to follow the outer peripheral surfaces of both pipe materials, eliminating the possibility of it getting caught on pieces of paper such as newspapers themselves or other objects during handling or reading. In addition, the structure is simple and compact and has excellent durability at a low cost.

[0014] By using a pipe material, the straightness of the pipe material is ensured even if the diameter is relatively larger than in the case of a solid wire material, and therefore, sufficient clamping action can be obtained with a single material on one side. It happens. In addition, since it is lightweight and maintains linearity, even newspapers with more than 30 pages can be held in an accurate unfolded state, making them suitable for reading while held in the hand, making them easy to read. The expansion of can be easily formed.

[0015] As described above, by providing a pressing part in the middle part of one of the above-mentioned pipe materials which are pivotally connected at one end, the middle part of the sandwiched newspaper or the like can be focused on the central point. This creates an accurate sandwiched state without requiring any puncture holes or the like.

As mentioned above, in the case where a tension force is applied to the locking part by a spring built into the pipe material, there is a locking part between the pipe materials, and even if there is a locking part, the newspaper cannot be read. In the pinched state, the spring that applies a tensile force to the locking part body is stiff, and the locking part is internalized in the locking part body or the other pipe, and there is virtually no part that protrudes to the outside. This eliminates the possibility of it getting caught on pieces of paper such as newspapers or other objects.

As mentioned above, the main body is a pipe material that is lightweight and has a substantially smooth peripheral surface, and as mentioned above, there is no possibility of it getting caught on newspapers or other objects, which makes it easy to handle. To easily form a state suitable for reading a newspaper or the like while being sandwiched in a large size.

[0018] As described above, it is easy to handle, and by creating a condition suitable for reading with the center-folded middle part sandwiched between the products, newspapers and the like can be easily read after all family members have finished reading them. Also, the orderly state at the time of delivery is maintained, and therefore the sorting of old newspapers is also orderly, and there is less possibility of them becoming bulky or scattered.

[0019]

[Embodiment] A specific embodiment of the present invention as described above will be described with reference to the attached drawings, which are intended for newspapers.One example of the present invention is as shown in FIG. Pivot parts 2, 2 having the same diameter as the pipe material 1 are attached to one end side of these pipe materials 1, 1, and are pivotally connected by a pivot shaft 3 so as to be openable and closable.

The pipe materials 1, 1 as described above are preferably made of aluminum alloy or synthetic resin material in order to achieve weight reduction, but the other end of one of the pipe materials 1, 1 is A locking member body 4 having an engaging portion 7 that locks with the pipe material 1 is provided, and the guide portion 14 of the locking member body 4 is inserted and guided into the pipe material 1 and In other words, one end of the spring 5 is fixed to the fixed part body 6 in the pipe material 1, and the other end of the spring 5 is connected to the locking part body 4, so that the spring 5 is locked. Part 4
Even if the spring 5 is pulled out enough so that the engaging part 7 comes out,
The amount of withdrawal is limited, and the guide portion 14 is located in the inner hole to prevent it from coming out, and when released, it automatically returns to its original state.

The locking member 4 is provided with an engaging portion 7 for the other pipe material, and the engaging portion 7 is connected to the end or end of the other pipe material 1a, as shown in FIGS. It may be either a recessed hole that receives a locking protrusion provided in the pipe 1a or a locking protrusion 7a that fits into an inner hole in the other pipe 1a.

[0022] In either of the pipe materials 1 and 1a as described above, a plurality of, in particular two, elastic pressure portions 8 are provided at the intermediate portion of the surface in contact with the other pipe material. One of the preferred embodiments is a protrusion formed on the pipe material itself as shown in FIG. Even though the material is not quite flexible in the length direction, it exhibits a certain degree of elasticity over a length of more than 50 cm, and even if it is just a rigid protrusion, it will not move against the newspaper. Achieves the purpose of pinching by applying oppression.

[0023] However, it is a matter of course that such a resilient part 8 may be one in which elastic action is achieved within the resilient part 8 itself. It may be either one in which elastic parts are formed at both ends, or one in which elastic material 9 is interposed as shown in FIG. 2 to obtain an elastic action.

Furthermore, in cases where slipping of the paper surface is undesirable, an elastic material 9a such as rubber may be used as shown in FIG. In this way, the rubber elastic material 9a can appropriately prevent the paper pieces from slipping, so that even single pieces of paper that are not half-folded can be appropriately sandwiched. It is clear that the elastic member 9a is attached stably by being attached to the small hole 1b formed in the pipe material 1a through the constricted portion 19 as shown in FIG.

[0025] As for the form of the above-mentioned pivot parts 2, 2, as shown in the figure, the form adopts circular arcs in both the circumferential surface and the length direction, and the shape does not form corners or protrusions. This prevents pieces of paper from getting caught when turning over pages or loading/unloading.

The pipe materials 1 and 1a are appropriately selected in consideration of the size of the paper to which they are to be applied.
By making it about m, it becomes suitable for mounting or interior decoration of various parts such as the above-mentioned spring 5, pivoting part body 2 or locking part body 4, and moreover, it is possible to preferably insert pieces of paper. Bars and wires with a solid cross section have a large weight and exhibit flexibility in the length direction, so it is difficult to obtain a suitable clamping as in the case of pipe materials.

When the clipping device according to the present invention is intended for newspaper, it is natural that at least the above-mentioned pivot portion 3 and locking portion body 4 portion should protrude appropriately longer than its vertical dimension. Therefore, when organizing newspapers by hanging them on a separately prepared horizontal frame, it is necessary to horizontally support the pivot portion 3 and the locking body 4 that protrude longer than the vertical dimension of the newspaper as described above. Can be done. However, a locking member such as a chain may be provided at the intermediate portion of any of the pipe materials in order to properly organize the pipes especially in cases where no horizontal frame is present.

To explain the operation of using the product according to the present invention, by pulling the locking member 4 provided on one pipe material against the elasticity of the spring, the lock with the other pipe material is released. , both pipe materials 1 and 1a can be opened and closed as appropriate around the pivot parts, and by positioning a central bending line portion of newspaper or the like between the two pipe materials 1 and 1a, both pipe materials 1 and 1a are 1 and 1a are closed again and the locking member body 4 is locked to the other pipe material 1a, the clamping is completed. That is, the clamping is completed by intensively clamping the pipe member 8, without the need for special drilling or the like. A pinched state can be formed.

Since the clamping pressure between the two pipe materials 1 and 1a is the clamping at the overlapped circumferential contact portions, the width of the pipe material itself is narrower than in the case of a long flat plate material or a rectangular cross-section material, and moreover, there is no substantial pinching area. is a straight line and is located at the middle of the widths of these pipe materials, so it is possible to read the article appropriately even if it is deep inside the sandwiched part. In other words, it is possible to read the newspaper while it is being held, or while holding the central part of a relatively long newspaper in a straight line in the vertical direction with a lightweight clamping tool, making it easy to read the newspaper.

In other words, the sandwiched newspaper or the like does not have to be spread out on a table, etc., and is easy to hold by holding the clipping part with one hand and unfolding the paper with the other hand, without feeling particularly burdensome. It allows readers to read in a normal, natural posture without having to take an unnatural posture such as bending over, and of course the entire page can be read smoothly without having to repeatedly fold a center-folded item in half or in four. have them read it.

[0031] Newspapers, etc., which are read while being sandwiched between the center folds as described above and are not further folded in two, folded in four, or other operations, are naturally not neatly delivered at the time of delivery. It maintains a stable condition,
Since there are no wrinkles or other forms, it is natural that even after everyone has read the old newspapers, the old newspapers will be organized and handled neatly and compactly, and there will be less chance of them being scattered. be.

[0032] Although the above-mentioned embodiments have been explained mainly for newspapers, modifications can be made to the present invention as well as official gazettes and other publications under substantially the same conditions by appropriately considering the dimensional conditions. is clear.

[0033]

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention as described above, the locking member can be clamped with one-touch operation, and is easy to handle, lightweight and compact, and even when the bent part is clamped, both pipe materials can be clamped. Since the paper is sandwiched at the intermediate point in the width direction of the paper, it does not make the article unreadable or difficult to read. The whole page of the newspaper is read in a simple and normal natural posture, and as a result of this, the old newspapers are in a more orderly condition after everyone has finished reading them, and the old newspapers can be read one by one as in the past. This is a very effective invention, as it eliminates the need to fold and organize the device, making it much easier to organize and handle, and it can be obtained at a low cost.
