CLIP RETAINER.
Application filed December :4, 1920. Serial in. 156,817.
My invention pertains to a new and novel clip or retainer adapted to hold loose sheets of paper or the like firmly together. An object of my invention is to manufacture a clip capable of easy, positive adjustment in use without bending or otherwise exerting force upon the clip.
The clip or retainer embraced in my invention may assume a number of forms differing slightl from one another. In the accompanyin rawings Figs. 1 to 6 show three forms of c ips and their construction, but changes may be made in the form, proportion and minor details without departing from the invention as defined in the claims. Figs. 2, 3, and 6 ives side elevations of three forms of clips, Figs. 1 and 5 give the front elevations of the cli s, while Fig. 4 is a representation of the lank from which said clips may be made.
As illustrative of my invention, I will refer to the attached drawings. Fig. l'is a front elevation of the preferred general form of clip, comprising 'a body of thin, elastic material, say ribbon steel, fashioned to form two extending members or fingers A, A at the extreme sides of one end of the body portion and a third finger or extended member B located at the center of the other end of the body portion, the body portion being bent or fashioned at C so as to cause the finger B to position itself behind and bedisposal of the ends of the fingers tween the fingers A, A. Fig. 2, a side view of the clip, illustrates one method of fashioning the clip by bending the body portion rearwardly at C and downwardly at D so as to bring the clip together at J.
My invention resides particularl in the and B. Referring to Figures 2 and 3 it will be seen that the fingers A and B are both gently but distinctively bent to the rear. This is particularly valuable as it will be seen that a plane surface coming in contact with the rear side. of finger A, as indicated in Fig. 2, will necessarily enter the clip between the fingers A and B, with no chance of slipping out or missing connections.
Fig. 3 is another side view of my clip or retainer, showin a modified form in which the ends of the nger A is bent rearwardly from a point E, but in addition the front sec- 7 tion is depressed between E and C.
Fig. 4 is a view of a blank from which the clip may be formed, illustrating a scoring.
marking corrugation or knurling applied to finger B and area BFG as well as fingers A This scoring or knnrling is for the purpose of offering resistance to the withdrawal ofpapers and the like from the finished clip while in use, the blank shown in Fig. 4 being so bent as to brin a portion of the scored section B-F in contact with the bent portion of the clip. The knurling or scoring is preferably applied to a portion of the clip which is in contact with the other bent portion, or vise-like por' tion, to increase the gripping or retaining surface.
Figs. 5 and 6 give front and side elevations of another form of my invention, also embodyin the longer front fingers AA and the s orter rear finger B, all of these fingers being rearwardly curved. In addition, however, I have provided a frontwardly projecting, convex configuration on .a part of finger B, as indicated at H, such convex rojection falling within the space between gers A'-A so as to exert a further gripping1 action upon paper inserted in the clip. T elengths of the fingers A or A shown on the drawings is optional, but in all instances the body portion A-'-C should be longer than the body portion 0-13, and both the fingers AA and finger B should have their end portions curved backward as generally indicated in Figs. 2, 3, and 6.
The above illustrations and descriptions 1. As an article of manufacture, a restraining clip comprising; a unitary metal lic body comprising front and back sections "in contact for a part oftheir length, the front section being longer with respect'to the back section; fingers located at the sides of the front section; a centrally located finger in the rear section; and rearwardly curved free ends of the fingers.
2. As an article of commerce, arestraining clip comprising; a unitary metallic body comprising front and rear sections in contact for a part of their length; finger like extensions at the sides of the front section; a centrally disposed finger in the rear section, said rear section being shorterthan the front section, a scored surface on the centrally disposed area adjacent to the centrally located finger; and rearwardly curved free ends of the fingers.
3. As an article of commerce. a restrain- 5 ing clip comprising; a unitary metallic body bent so as to form a front section longer than the rear section; finger-like, rearwardly curving, extensions at the sides of the front section; and a centrally located finger ln the rear section, said rear finger being' furnished 0. with a forwardly projecting protuberance and rearwardly curving extremity.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I-aflix my signature.
