Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] It is possible to make the entire clip as a one-piece structure by plastic molding and use the middle fulcrum part as a hinge part to connect the left and right clip segments. [Structure] A scissor part and a thin plate-shaped fulcrum part are integrally formed in the middle of the grip part, and the fulcrum part is a continuous part of a pair of left and right clip divisions.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a plastic clip used for sandwiching and holding laundry and for clipping documents and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the conventional plastic clips, it is general that a pair of left and right clip divisions are separately formed and fitted at a hinge portion and then joined by a pin or a spring.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In such a conventional clip, it is necessary to separately form the left and right clip divisions, and the left and right clips have the same shape or structure of the hinge part that serves as a fulcrum, so the left and right are the same or symmetrical. However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to form, and it requires time and labor in terms of manufacturing and assembling, resulting in high cost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is not to separate the pair of left and right clip segments individually but to separate the hinge part. It aims to provide a plastic clip that enables plastic molding as an integrated structure, eliminates the labor required for assembly, is simple and durable, and is cost effective.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the clip according to the present invention has a pair of left and right clip segments 3 each having a scissor part 1 at the tip and a grip part 2 at the other end so that the left and right clip segments 3 and 7 are intermediate. The fulcrum portion 4 is integrally plastic-molded integrally so as to be hinge-coupled, and the spring 5 is interposed between the inner surface portions of the grip portions 2 facing each other.

Further, it is preferable that the spring 5 is a U-shaped leaf spring and is fitted along the inner surface of the fulcrum portion.

[0007]

【Example】

 The clip body 3 has a scissor portion 1 at the tip and a handle portion 2 at the other end, and a fulcrum portion 4 serving as an intermediate hinge connects the left and right clip bodies 3 in series. So the whole is plastic molded with elastic plastic.

An inner surface of the fulcrum portion 4 on the handle side has a U-shape having an arcuate surface B, and a U-shaped leaf spring 5 is fitted along the inner surface of the U-shape. The leaf spring is made by bending a thin plastic plate into a U shape, and a metal leaf spring can also be used. In order to prevent the leaf spring 5 from coming off, a step is provided on the mating side to lock it, or it is made to adhere with an adhesive. Other types of springs can be used instead of leaf springs.

The fulcrum portion 4 is a thin plastic plate and has a hinge mechanism by itself, and applies a scissor force, that is, an elastic force to the scissor portion 1.

[0010]

[Action]

 When the grip portions 2 and 2 are pressed inward at the same time, the scissors portions 1 and 1 expand with the fulcrum portion 4 serving as a hinge portion serving as a fulcrum. When the grip portion is opened by sandwiching an object in the expanded portion, the clamping force acts on the scissors 1.1 due to the elasticity of the fulcrum portion 4 and the elastic force of the spring 5, so that the object can be strongly clamped and held by the spring pressure.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention forms a pair of left and right clip sub-assemblies 3 having the scissors 1 at the tip and the grip 2 at the other end, and the left and right clip sub-assemblies 3 and 7 as the intermediate fulcrum 4. In order to be hinged together, a series of plastic moldings were made integrally, and springs 5 were interposed between the inner surface parts of the grip parts 2 and 2 facing each other, so that the left and right clip divisions were combined into one. Plastic molding, which eliminates the labor required for assembly, and because it is an integrated structure that is entirely formed in series, it does not separate, so it is easy to use, durable, and easy to manufacture and inexpensive. Can be carried out.
