Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a paper clip that can temporarily hold pieces of paper, banknotes, etc. and fix them in any desired location.

Explanation of conventional examples and their problems Conventionally, as a clip for holding light objects such as paper or banknotes, there is a type shown in FIG. I was trying to do that. However, although it is possible to securely hold paper, etc. with this configuration, it is not possible to insert the paper in one operation; it is necessary to open the mouth of the clip with one hand and insert the paper, etc. with the other hand. I had to. Therefore, it has been difficult to easily insert and secure paper or the like while driving a car or holding something in one hand.

Also, the clip was sometimes used by being fixed in a fixed place with a magnet or adhesive, but even in this case, it was still not possible to easily operate it with one hand.

Purpose of the invention The object of the invention is to provide a paper clip that allows pieces of paper, banknotes, etc. to be easily held with one hand by magnetic attraction between the clamping plate and the edge of the outer frame.

Structure of the invention The paper clip of the invention includes an outer frame body which is formed by bending a plate-shaped body inward with a gap between them to form a short side and a long side, and a paper clip that is inserted into the gap of the outer frame. is,
a clamping plate having a long side that contacts the edge of the short side and having a base fixed to the outer frame;
The edge of the short side of the outer frame and the sandwiching plate, which come into contact with each other, are made of a magnetic material that attracts each other by magnetic force.

With this configuration, when the clamping plate and the edge of the short side are released from the magnetic attraction, a gap is created between them. After inserting paper or the like into this gap, the paper clips act as paper clips by adhering them together again.

Description of examples Embodiments will be described below with reference to drawings showing examples.

1 to 3 show a paper clip showing an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a bent plate as a form of a clamping plate, and is made of synthetic resin and formed into a substantially U-shaped cross section. 2
is an outer frame body, which is formed by bending a plate-like body inward with a gap between them to form a short side portion 3 and a long side portion 4. The bending plate 1 has a base 5 fixed to the outer frame 2. Reference numeral 6 denotes an edge of the short side portion 3, which is in contact with a part of the long side portion 7 of the bending plate 1. 8 is a magnet, which is provided on the edge 6. 9 is also magnetic, and the long side 7
It is formed at a position where it comes into contact with the edge 6 of. 1
0 is double-sided tape, such as front board 11 of the car,
The device can be fixed in any position. Incidentally, a flat magnetic plate may be used instead of the double-sided tape 10.

When using the product of the present invention, by lightly pushing the long side 7 of the bending plate 1 as shown by arrow A in Fig. 3, a gap will be created between the bending plate 1 and the edge 6, so there will be a gap between the bending plate 1 and the edge 6. Just insert 12 mag. After this, if the force of arrow A is removed, the bending plate 1 will return to its original shape by its own elastic force, and the magnets 8 and 9 will be brought closer together, so that the paper 12 will be held between them by their attraction force. . In other words, arrow A and paper 12 can be inserted at the same time with one hand, so paper and paper can be inserted in one simple motion.
It becomes possible to sandwich banknotes, etc. In this case, the action of holding the paper 12 is performed solely by the magnetic absorption force of the magnets 8 and 9, and there is no need to utilize the elastic force of the bending plate 1. Therefore, since the bending plate 1 only needs to have elastic force to restore its original approximately U-shape, no unnecessary force is constantly applied to any part of the product of the present invention, and partial fatigue is avoided. Deterioration of the material (particularly the rounded portion 13) due to this phenomenon hardly occurs.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the bending plate 1 made of synthetic resin, in which an inclined surface 14 is provided on the front side of the magnet 9. In this way, when inserting paper or the like, it will not get caught on the end of the magnet 9, and the operation can be performed smoothly.

Incidentally, even if the magnet 9 is a magnetic body such as an unmagnetized piece of iron, the same effect can be achieved.
Furthermore, if the material of the bending plate 1 itself is made of a magnetic material such as steel, this itself will attract the magnet 8, so there is no need to take the trouble to provide a protruding part.
More convenient to use.

In addition, in this embodiment, the edge 6 is formed at the tip of the outer frame 2, but the edge 6 provided on a part of the outer frame 2 and the long side 7 contact each other, and paper, etc. Any other shape may be used as long as it can hold the .

In this embodiment, the bending plate 1 is used as a clamping plate that contacts the edge 6 formed on the short side 3 of the outer frame 2, but the shape is not limited to this, and it has a long side 7 and a base. When fixed to the outer frame, elasticity is not necessarily necessary, and the clamping plate and the edge are released by hand, paper, etc. is inserted into the gap formed, and the clamping plate is fixed again. The same effect can be achieved as long as the structure can attract the end edge with magnetic force. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the clamping plate 15 may be fixed to the outer frame using a hinge 16.

Effects of the invention The present invention allows the edges of the short sides of the outer frame body and the clamping plate to be attracted to each other by magnetic force, and the attraction can be released, paper, etc. can be inserted, and the above-mentioned attraction can be caused again. With this structure, paper or the like can be easily held with one hand in the gap created between the holding plate and the edge by pressing the holding plate lightly. Further, since no extra stress is always applied to any of the outer frame body, clamping plates, etc., there is no deterioration of the material due to fatigue, and the device can be used for a long period of time.
