Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a device for attaching an implement or instrument, such as a knife, telephone, pager, and the like to the apparel of a user.
- A user of various hand held instruments has several options for clipping those instruments to his or her belt or the like when the user is not immediately using them. A common method is to insert the instrument into a case rigidly clipped to the user's belt. Other clips attach directly to the instrument itself. Such designs are often found not to be practical or convenient in that they typically are intrusive.
- Other designs for holding such instruments allow for rotation of the instrument. U.S. Pat. No. 5,597,102 discloses a design that holds a phone via a flanged lug fastened on the back side of the phone. The lug slides into a slot on a clip via the flanges that can be fastened to a person's belt. When the lug is at the deepest part of the slot, a spring activated projection acts on the lug to keep it from sliding from the slot. This design allows for the phone to rotate while in the slot, which can alleviate the discomfort of a rigid clip. However, the clip design has disadvantages. First, the rotational forces on the phone can cause the phone to dislodge. Also, even without rotating the phone, a tug on the phone towards the opening of the slot can overcome the spring acting on the projection to release the phone.
- It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a clip for hand held instruments which overcomes the before mentioned problems associated with previous designs.
- To attain this object, the invention provides a clip design that allows an instrument to be removably attached to the clip. The clip attaches the belt of the user using two opposing members pulled together by a u-shaped spring metal-plate. The instrument attaches to the clip via a pin fitted into a slot on the clip. The pin has a head and a stem portion for being held in the slot of the clip. The diameter of the pin stem is greater than the width of the slot, but has two opposing flat surfaces whereby the pin stem may fit into the slot only when the pin is rotated to a certain angle. At the end of the slot, the slot has a circular shape with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the round portion of the pin stem. This allows for the pin to rotate in the clip.
- To remove the instrument from the clip, the instrument must be rotated to a horizontal position, or where the flat surfaces are parallel to the narrow portions of the slot, then the instrument may be slid out of the slot.
- The clip design provides a locking mechanism to lock the pin into place. The diameter of the pin being greater than the width of the slot provides a means whereby the instrument cannot be pulled from the clip, except when rotated to a certain angle. This helps alleviate the problem of the instrument from becoming dislodged from the clip.
- The design also provides for a clip whereby the instrument can rotate even when it is locked into place. This helps overcome the problems in the prior art by helping alleviate the discomfort associated with a rigid attachment device design by allowing the instrument to rotate to another position while sitting or walking.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a front view of the clip.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the clip showing how the clip is attached to a garment.
- FIG. 3 is a front view of the clip and a phantom view of the knife during insertion of the locking pin.
- FIG. 4 is a front view of the clip and a phantom view of the knife when the locking pin of the knife is in the locked position.
- FIG. 5 is a top view of the locking pin and a phantom view of the knife.
- FIG. 6 is a side view of the locking pin and a phantom view of the knife.
- FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view along line7-7 of FIG. 6.
- In FIG. 1. there is disclosed a front view of the
clip 100 according to the present invention. The main features of the clip disclosed are thefirst slot 110 and thesecond slot 140 with afirst width 120 and asecond width 130, which has a diameter greater than thefirst width 120. - FIG. 2 shows the operation of the clip to place the clip on a belt or the like. The
clip 100 has afront member 220 and an opposingrear member 210. Between them is a u-shapedspring metal plate 200 which is attached to the rear side of thefront member 220 and is also attached to the front of therear member 210. Upon pressing therear member 210 at itsupper portion 212 in the direction shown byarrow 250, thebottom portion 214 ofrear member 210 moves away from thefront member 220. A belt, a portion of clothing or the like may be inserted in thegap 260 created betweenbottom portion 214 and thefront member 220. Upon interrupting the pressing of theupper portion 212, thespring metal plate 200 pulls thefront member 220 and therear member 210 together to firmly hold theclip 100 on the belt or clothing. - Removal of the clip from the belt or the like requires pressing once again the
upper portion 212 to cause the separation between thebottom portion 214 and thefront member 220 to again formgap 260. Theclip 100 is then moved away from the belt or the like, and then the user may cease the pressing of therear member 210. - FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show the design of the
pin 500 mounted on aknife 510, shown in phantom view. The knife will not be described as such knives are well known in the art. Further, the pin may be attached to any device or instrument, such as a phone, pager, tool, etc.. The knife is used by way example. The pin has ahead portion 610 and astem portion 600. Thestem portion 600 comprises around portion 720 which has a radius corresponding to the radius of thesecond width 130 of thesecond slot 140 and opposing parallelflat portions 710 and 711 which between them have a width corresponding to the width of thefirst width 120 of the second slot. Thehead portion 610 has a diameter greater than thesecond width 130 of the second slot. - FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show the operation of the clip in association with the pin. When the user wishes to place the instrument into the clip, the
pin 500 must be placed into thefirst width 120 of thesecond slot 140. Thehead portion 610 is fits beneath thesurface 310 surrounding thesecond slot 140, the head portion having a greater diameter than thefirst width 120 and thesecond width 130 of thesecond slot 140, while the stem portion is associated with thesecond slot 140. Theround portion 720 of thepin 500 has a radius greater than thefirst width 120, since the radius of theround portion 720 corresponds to the radius of thesecond width 130, which is greater than thefirst width 120. Thus, thepin 500 and thus the knife must be rotated until the knife is horizontal to the clip, as shown in FIG. 3. This aligns theflat portions 710 and 711 of the pin with thefirst width 120, which have corresponding dimensions. Then thepin 500 may slide into thefirst width 120 of thesecond slot 140. - Once the
pin 500 reaches thesecond width 130, the pin is also allowed to rotate because the diameter of thesecond width 130 corresponds to the diameter of theround portion 720, which allows for rotational movement. The diameter of theround portion 720 being greater than thefirst width 120 of thesecond slot 140 also prevents thepin 500 from moving away from thesecond width 130, except at the exact position when theflat portions 710 and 711 line up with thefirst width 120. Thus, there is provided a locking mechanism to prevent the dislodging of the knife from the clip while at the same time allowing rotational movement. - The release of the knife from the clip requires a rotation of the
knife 510 and movement of the pin from away from thesecond width 130. The knife must be rotated so it is horizontal with respect to theclip 100, as shown in FIG. 3. This aligns theflat portions 710 and 711 with thefirst width 120 of thesecond slot 140. Once aligned, thepin 500 may freely move away from thesecond width 130 through thefirst width 120, out thesecond slot 140 and be removed from theclip 100 for use. - The forgoing describes an embodiment using a knife. The invention may be used with other instruments or devices, such as phones, pagers, tools, etc. Further, other embodiments of the present invention, and obvious modifications to those skilled in the art can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
