The present invention relates to a spring clip for gripping documents and the like.

Conventionally, a spring clip of a form in which a pair of flat gripping members are configured to elastically engage with the gripping tips have been widely used. A pair of levers, usually made of wire rods, are usually provided at the gripping tip of the spring clip to open the spring clip, i.e., to open the gripping tip to hold a document or the like between two lip-shaped gripping tips. Press the lever with your finger to open the spring clip. After holding documents, Leva often feels inconvenient when handing over documents because many parts of the documents are folded and overlapped. Also, after grasping, the lever is often folded and overlapped, so it is often inconvenient to turn over the documents. In addition, if the spring clip is relatively large, children have to open it, because it requires a great deal of effort to open it.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional spring clip.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a spring clip for gripping documents that can open the gripping tip without using the above-mentioned lever.

In the present invention, the spring clip is composed of a pair of opposing flat gripping member and the gripping tips of the gripping member elastically meet each other, a pair of opposing ears in the width direction on both sides of the gripping member The overhang of is shown.

Since the spring clip according to the present invention does not have a lever for opening it, there is no inconvenience in handing over documents held by the spring clip. In the present invention, a specially designed clip application device is used to open the clip. This device is very simple to handle. That is to say briefly, after loading the spring clip to the device and then push it forward, the spring clip is opened by automatically opening the projection by engaging the ear-shaped projections on both sides with the opening guide member.

If the spring clip is pushed further forward after inserting the document into the spread gripping member, the spring clip is pushed out from the spreading guide member, and the flat gripping member immediately regains spring elasticity to firmly hold the document and the like.

In addition, the clip holding the documents, etc. can be easily separated by grasping the finger with a finger and pulling only the documents. In addition, the spring clip of the present invention has a hook to hang it.

Referring to the present invention in more detail based on the accompanying drawings as follows.

1 shows a spring clip of the prior art. This spring clip is made of a complete elastic band, and a pair of flat grips (1), which are formed by elastically pressing and meeting at a pair of grip tips for holding documents, etc., and a shape in which the front ends of the grip tips are bent. It consists of the lever 11 of the wire rod attached to the opening part 10 and attached. Before opening the spring clip, the lever 11 is folded back as shown in FIG.

When the back of the lever 11 is pressed with a finger, the gripping tip of the gripping portion 1 is opened so that documents and the like can be held therebetween. After holding the document, the lever 11 is turned toward the document to be fixed at the edge of the document. The lever 11 extending from the edge of the document prevents the document from falling out.

2 shows a spring clip of the first embodiment of the present invention. In the same manner as the spring clip of the prior art shown in FIG. 1, the spring clip of the first embodiment bends an elastic band such as spring steel or synthetic resin to connect between the pair of flat gripping portions 1 and the rear end of the gripping portions. Consists of the rear wall portion (2), the front end portions of the gripping portion (1) has a form that meets each other elastically pressed.

The pair of gripping parts 1 according to the present invention have opposing side edge portions for engaging the opening guide member B of the spring clip application device for opening the clip as described in detail in FIGS. 6 and 7 later. The ear-shaped protrusions 3 which extend in the width direction are formed.

In the first embodiment as shown in FIG. 2, the protrusions 3 are in contact with the side edges of the gripping tips, and the protrusions 3 are opposed to the protrusions 3 by opening the gripping tips as described in detail below. A line in the width direction parallel to the gripping tip 4 of the gripping portion 1 to provide a space between the opposing tip portions of the protrusions 3 so that the opening guide member B can be easily inserted between It is slightly bent upward from 7). Alternatively, it is possible to bend outwardly from the line 7 only the protrusions 3 while the opposing gripping tips 4 are brought into contact with each other between the projections 3.

3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, which is the same as the structure of the first embodiment of FIG. 2 except that the notch 5 is formed in the middle of the rear wall portion 2. Hook 6 is fitted in this notch 5. That is, the two hooks of the hook are bent so as to be inserted and inserted into the cutout groove 5 so that the hook 6 does not fall out of the cutout groove 5. This hook 6 is for hanging a spring clip.

In the first and second embodiments, the gripping tip is bent outward as described above so that it is not only easily engaged with the guide portion B for opening, but also acts to reinforce the gripping tip.

4 shows a third embodiment of a spring clip according to the present invention. As in the first and second embodiments, the spring clip is composed of a pair of opposed flat gripping portions 1, which are bent elastic bands, and a rear wall portion 2 connecting the rear end of the gripping portions 1, The branch 1 has a form in which the gripping tips opposed to the ends meet elastically. Unlike the first and second embodiments, the gripping tip 4 of the third embodiment is in contact with each other without being bent to the outside of the gripping part 1. The spring clip has an ear-shaped protrusion 3 'slightly in the width direction from the holding tip 4 of the holding part 1 in the width direction. By having such a projection 3 ', the guiding member B for opening the clip application device can be easily inserted therebetween to open the lip-shaped gripping tip 4 so that a document of a suitable thickness can be sufficiently gripped. Space is provided.

5 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and has the same structure as the above-described third embodiment except for having the hook 6 as in the second embodiment.

Next, the steps of gripping the document with the spring clip according to the present invention will be described in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. Unlike the spring clip of the prior art with the lever 11 for opening the spring clip as shown in FIG. 1, there is no lever in the spring clip according to the present invention. Moreover, the spring grip force of the spring clip in the present invention is so strong that it is not impossible, but extremely difficult to spread it with fingers. Thus a spring clip application A as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used to open the spring clip.

This spring clip is loaded in the loading groove (C). A fork spreading guide member B is attached to the side wall of the loading groove C. Each opening guide member (B) is spaced so as to maintain a constant distance in parallel with the portion engaging with the ear-shaped protrusions (3) and (3 ') of the spring clip and a pair of inclined portions extending therefrom at a predetermined angle therefrom. It consists of a pair of parallel parts.

When the clip in the loading groove (C) is pushed by the push rod (D), each of the projections (3), (3 ') of the spring clip is engaged with the opening guide member (B). As the spring clip is pushed further forward, the protrusions 3 and 3 'move out of the inclined portion, and as the spring clips move forward, the opposite protrusions 3 and 3' gradually open to each other and eventually become flat. The holding end of the holding portion is gradually opened. The gripping tips of the protrusions 3, 3 'and the flat gripping portion 1 are fully open with the expected space. Then, documents and the like are inserted between the open grip ends of the flat grip part (1).

Finally, when pushing the pusher (D) further forward, the projections (3), (3 ') is pushed to the edge of the parallel part of the opening guide member (B), immediately grasping the grip (1) the grip end The spring elasticity is returned so that the spring is engaged so that the documents and the like are firmly gripped as shown in FIG.

To remove the spring clip, grasp the spring clip with your finger and pull it to the right in the position shown in FIG. Thus the spring clip is easily detached from the document.

As described above, the spring clip of the present invention consists only of the minimum necessary parts for holding documents and the like.

Therefore, the spring clip of the present invention is very simple in structure and small in size. In addition, the spring clip of the present invention does not have a lever 11 as shown in Figure 1, so that the document can be easily turned over.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, a special type of application device A described in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used to hold documents and the like with spring clips. The force for pushing the push rod (D) is much smaller than the force required to open the spring clip by pressing the lever (11). Therefore, even children can easily use the spring clip of the present invention.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention without being limited only to these embodiments.

For example, the flat gripping portion 1 is described as having two pairs of opposing protrusions 3 and 3 'formed on both sides thereof, but a pair of protrusions may be formed on one side of both sides. The spring clip is described in the form of a complete elastic band, but it is also possible to connect the rear edge by means of a suitable spring means that separate the flat gripping portions 1 and make the ends resilient to each other.
