2 Claims. (01; E f-11') This invention relates to pen or pencil clips, an importantobject of. the i'nve'ntion being to provide a clip of-this characterwhichmay :be read-ily and easily slid intoposition on apen or pencil to support the same in a pocket or other support, the construction of the clip being such that the necessity of making changes in the clip or pen with which it is used, is eliminated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a clip wherein the body portion is constructed in such a manner and of such material, that the flexibility of the bod portion will operate to cause the body portion to return to its normal gripping position, after it has been operated to release the pen or pencil from the pocket of the user.
Still another important object of the invention is to provide a clip which is exceptionally cheap to manufacture, because of its construction, which permits the clip to be stamped from sheet metal material, by a metal stamping machine, all pivot pins and springs in the construction of the clip, having been eliminated.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing Figure 1 is an elevational view of a pen, illustrating a clip constructed in accordance with the invention as positioned over the pen cap.
Figure 2 is a. longitudinal sectional view through the pen cap and clip mounted thereon.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3--3 of Fig. 2.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line l-*4 of Fig. 2.
Figure 5 is a plan view of the development of the blank from which the clip band is formed.
Figure 6 is a plan view of the development of the blank from which the body portion of the strip is formed.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the band which connects the clip to a pen or pencil, is indicated by the reference character '5 and as shown is stamped from a length of sheet metal material of such a character that the metal may be bent into circular form, the ends being. spaced apart, so that the clip band will grip the pen or pencil with which it is used.
In the formation of the blank from which the point substantially intermediate the-ends thereof.
Directly opposite to the arm 6, i a substantially. short-arm] which is also-stamped from the metal-1 of which the band is constructed.
The body portion or blank which is used with the band, and which is shown by Fig. 6 of the drawing, is also stamped from a length of sheet metal material of a, flexible character, and includes a main section 8. Flanges -9 extend from opposite sides of the main section 8, and are provided with tabs 10 and II, at their ends. At one end of the main section '8 are lateral enlargements I2 and an enlargement 13, th enlargement l3 constituting the main gripping jaw of the clip, when it is bent into form.
In the formation of the clip, the blank as shown by Fig. 6 is provided, and the enlargements 9 and I2 are bent at right angles with respect to the side faces of the main section of the body portion, the tabs It) being bent inwardly as at l3, where they engage the spring arm 6 of the band, as shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing. The free end of the arm 6 is bent downwardly into the pocket formed when the enlargements I2 are bent inwardly as shown. This structure securely holds the body portion to the band and the rightangled end of the arm 6 contacting with the enlargements l2, tend to urge the jaw l3 towards the pen or pencil with which the clip is used. The short arm 1 extends upwardly and is curved slightly as shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing, to fit behind the clips II, which are bent inwardly towards each other in the formation of the body. The end 14 of the main section 8 of the body portion, has its extremity curved slightly upwardly as at 15, where it is fitted in the groove I6 formed in the cap of the pen, with which it is used. It might also be stated that the pen cap is also formed with depressions I1, into which the jaws of the body portion normally extend, the jaws acting to engage portions of the cloth of the pocket into which the pen or pencil is positioned, to grip the same.
In order to open the jaws of the clip to permit the device to be positioned over the outer surface of a pocket, pressure is applied to the end M with the result that the jaws are swung upwardly. When the pressure is relieved at the end [4, the jaws will of course move to their normal gripping positions.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided a clip which is exceptionally cheap to manufacture, and one which may be readily slid into position on practically any pen or pencil now in use, providing means whereby the pen or pencil will be securely held within a support or within a pocket.
What is claimed is:
1. A pen or pencil clip comprising a band adapted to be positioned over a pen or pencil,
arms extending from the band, a main body per-- tion formed of alength of sheet metalmaterial,
flanges extending from the side edges of the body portion at a point adjacent to the center thereof, tabs extending from the ends of the flanges, said flanges being positioned over the side edges of the arms of the band, said tabs gripping the arms of the band, securing the body portion to the hand, one end of the body portion providing a jaw engaging the pen or pencil, the opposite end of the body being in slidable contact with the pen or pencil on which the clip is held and normally resiliently urging the jaw into gripping relation with the pen or pencil. v v
