Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case of a clip pinching device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 12, there is a clip 27 capable of holding the ends of a plurality of documents. The clips 27 are bent on both sides of the intermediate back plate portion 24 at acute angles, and the front end portions of the clip 27 are pressed against each other.
It has a structure in which 26 is opposed. Since it is difficult for the clip 27 to expand the holding plate spring portions 25 and 26 by the force of a finger, a dedicated clip holding device is used.
FIG. 13 shows a conventional clip pinching prevention device. This clip pinching device stores a plurality of clips inside the case, provides a clip discharge port at the front end of the case, and arranges clip expanding leaf springs on both sides of the clip discharge port. Move the clips forward one by one by moving the slider installed on the upper surface, insert the clip expansion leaf spring between both ends of the clip leaf spring part of the clip, open the clip, and open the clip discharge port. It is designed so that the end of the document placed so as to face the document is held by the open clip, and then the clip is pushed out to the front of the case.

As shown in FIG. 13, the case of the conventional clip pinching device is constructed by combining an upper case 28 and a lower case 29. The upper case 28 and the lower case 29 have a metal band on the front end side surface. It is fixed using 30. In addition, a clip insertion opening 31 is opened at the rear end of the upper case 28, and when the clip is inserted into the clip insertion opening 31, it is elastically deformed, and conversely prevents the clip from coming out of the clip insertion opening 31. 32 is formed at the rear end of the upper case 28.

[0004]

Since the metal band 30 is used to fix the upper case 28 and the lower case 29 in the case of the conventional clip pinching device as described above, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps are reduced. There is a problem that the cost increases as the number increases. Further, since the tongue-shaped piece 32 attached to the clip insertion opening 31 is formed at the rear end portion of the upper case 28, the appearance is poor, and there is a problem that the inscription space cannot be secured on the rear end upper surface. . Therefore, the present invention can assemble the upper case and the lower case without using parts such as a metal band, and can reduce costs, and eliminate the tongue-shaped piece from the upper surface of the rear end of the upper case to provide an external appearance. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel case for a clip clip prevention device that makes it possible to keep the product clean and secure a space for entering a name in the same place.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the case of the clip holding device according to the present invention has a hook portion 3 protruding from the outer surface of both side walls 2 near the front end of a plastic lower case 1. In addition, a recess 12 for engaging the hook portion 3 is provided on the inner surfaces of both side walls 11 near the front end of the plastic upper case 10, and a clip insertion port 15 is provided at the rear end of the upper case 10. With the lower case 1 below
