Application led November 1.1, 1915. Serial No. 60,902.
To @ZZ/whom t may concern: 1 v
Be it known thatI, WILLIAM B. WILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grinnell, in the county of Poweshiek and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to what I term pocket clips designed for the purpose of securing an object to a garment to guard against accidental loss or displacement. In the embodiment of my invention, as hereinafter set forth, it is especially formed with clamping elements to enable its engagement with a small memorandum book or similar article and with a pocket gripping tongue normally under such tension as to accomplish its gripping function while in addition tending to impart its tension to the clamping elements aforesaid.
For a full understanding of the present invention, reference is to be had to the following description and the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of my invention to a memorandum book. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the clip. Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. I is a rear elevation thereof; and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view take on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of a slightly modified form of the invention.
Throughout the following detail description, and on the several figures of the drawing, similar parts are referred to by like reference characters.
Referring to the drawing, it will be observed that the device is made from a single piece or strip of metallic material being of a suitable bendable character and of a desired Width to provide a substantial gripping article of the class described. The material from which the clip is made, at an intermediate point is rebent, or is folded back upon itself to form the intermediate clamping element 1, the material of the rebent portion being preferably soldered together though such is not absolutely requisite. One end portion of the strip is bent back in parallel relation to the intermediate clamping element so as to coperate therewith to form a clamping member 2 between which an object is adapted to be introduced, such as a memorandum book or pad in the manner disclosed in Fig. 1 of the drawing. This member 2 is normally arranged in spaced relation to the intermediate clamping member 1.- The other end portion of the strip of material is likewise bent downwardly at the opposite side of the intermediate member 1 to form the tongue 3. This tongue at its lower extremity is provided with a ball head 4 and said tongue is bent so as to provide asuiicient tension to enable a positive gripping of the garment which is adapted to be received between said tongue and the intermediate portion '1. Normally the head 4L presses against or toward therebent portion 1 and by reason of the tension of said tongue the pressure more or less increases the clamping action of .the elements 1 and 2 with respect to each other. At the lower extremity of the rebent portion 1 is a piercing member or projection 5, located adjacent to but on the opposite side of the pressure point of the head 4, and directly opposite thereto in the member 2 is an aperture 6 to receive the pointed extremity of the piercing member 5 just mentioned. This arrangement is designed to provide a positive interlocking of the clip upon the object to which it is attached so that it may form a permanent fixture held from displacement, when removing the booklet from a pocket, and from engagement therewith.
As before suggested the fact that the pressure of the head 4C transmitted-to the rebent portion 1 tends -to cause the piercing element 5 to penetrate the material of the cover of the book with which the clip is engaged. This is an essential feature of advantage in this construction.
The clip or article may be very cheaply and easily manufactured as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art to which this invention refers.
Where it may be desired the clip may be constructed from two pieces of material bent into U-shaped form and attached together by soldering as well as through the instrumentality of the piercing member 5 riveted to the elements which are arranged contiguous to each other. This, however, is not the preferred form.
The clip member hereinbefore described Vmay be attached to the upper end of the clamping element 2 therethrough to cooperate with the inside of saidcover, as seen in Fig. 5. Y
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is: n
l. A clip of the class described compris-V ing an object engaging element at one side, a garment engaging element at the other side, and an intermediate clamping element common to both the engaging elements aforesaid, one of theside elementsv exerting pressure againstv the intermediate element to provide clamping action for the other side element when the clip is in position upon the article to be held. v
2. A clip device of the class described comprising a piece of material bent back upon itself intermediate its length to form an intermediate element, the end portions of saidv material being bent back at opposite sides of the intermediate element, one of said end portions constituting a resilient tongue 'adapted to exert pressure against the intermediate element, and a penetrating member arranged on the intermediate elekment adjacent to but opposite the point of application of pressure of said tongue, said penetrating member coperating withv the other end portion whereby to interlock the clip on an object interposed betweenk said last mentioned end and the intermediate element. Y
In testimony whereof I aliX my signature.
