CLIP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 15, 1917.
Application filed March 2, 1916. Serial No. 81,690.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Lnsmn S. BRooKwAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to provide an extremely simple and highly efficient me tallic clip adapted to hold a pack of checks, bills, bank notes, and the like; and-to such ends, the invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of a single piece of spring wire, as hereinafter described and defined in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing one of the improved clips applied to hold together a pack of checks or the like; and
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clip removed from the pack.
The checks of the pack are indicated by the character 1 The clip is formed from a single piece of spring wire 1, bent at its in termediate portion to form a zig-zag spring section 2, and bent at its ends to form upright arms 3 and 4, the former of which terminates in a clamping loop or head 5, and the latter of which terminates ina similar clamping loop or head 6. The zig-zag spring section 2 and the axially. alined body portions of the wire 1 lie in a common plane, and the arms 3 and 4 rise from this common plane at an angle of 90 degrees. The clamping head 5 of the arm 3 is primarily bent at a right angle thereto so that it is in a plane parallel of the plane of the spring section 2.
The arm at and its head 6 are primarily bent straight upward, as shown by full lines in Fig. 2, and by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
The clip is applied to the pack by first engaging the arm 3 and its head 5 with one side of the pack, and then the arm 4 is pulled upward, until the body of the rod 1 and the zig-zag spring section 2 are engaged with the bottom of the pack, and then the head 6 is bent over onto the top of the pack, as shown by full lines in Fig. 1. The spring section 2 keeps the arms 8 and 4 drawn against the edges of the pack and, furthermore, will yield to compensate for considerable variation in the width of the pack. The clip thus applied will firmly hold the sheets or members of the pack together and will keep the same fiat, that is, will not tend to buckle the same. Furthermore, the clip closely hugs the pack and does not project from the same, except the thickness of the wire from which it is made. Different packs with the applied clips can, therefore, be closely piled together. The clip is a better device than a rubber band for the purposes had in view, and, furthermore, will not cost more than a good rubber band and probably not as much, and has the further advantage that it will last much longer when filed away.
What I claim is A pack holding clip constructed from a single piece of wire, having alined straight body portions connected by a zig-zag intermediate spring section, having end portions bent at a right angle to the plane of said body portion and zig-zag spring section, and having looped ends bent into planes parallel to the above noted plane.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
