Definitions

  • This invention relates to paper clips. More particularly, the present invention concerns paper clips of the type known as "bulldog” clips, which rely upon a force biassing the two gripping components (which are termed the “jaws" of the clip) towards each other.
  • the biassing action may be provided by a spring incorporated into the structure of the clip, or by fabricating the clip from spring steel.
  • Disclosure of the present invention is achieved by providing a pin or spike in the clip, which is adapted to penetrate the sheets that are clamped by the clip.
  • the sheets penetrated by the pin or spike are retained on the pin or spike when the jaws of the clip are opened.
  • a clip for paper or other sheet-like material comprising:
  • a spike extending from the other gripping member towards gripping member containing said aperture, said spike being adapted to pass through said aperture when said clip is in a closed position, but with the free end of said spike terminating in the space between said gripping members when said clip is opened a predetermined extent.
  • the spike will pass through formed hole(s) in sheet-like material to be clamped by the clip, or pierce sheet-like material if it contains no suitably positioned hole, so that when the clip is opened for the purpose of removing or adding sheet-like material, the spike positively retains in position the sheet-like material already present, to prevent such material falling from between the gripping members or jaws.
  • An optional feature of the present invention is the provision of means adapted to allow the said jaws to remain open without having to supply external pressure to the said manually operated members.
  • Figure 1 illustrates one embodiment of a clip constructed in accordance with the present invention and in a "closed" position.
  • Figure 2 depicts one half of a clip, similar to that depicted in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a clip, similar to " those depicted in Figures 1 and 2, but having the optional feature of means which allows the jaws of the clip to remain open without the constant application of external pressure by a user of the clip.
  • Figure 4 depicts one half of another embodiment of a clip constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • the clip illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a pair of opposed gripping members or jaws 2a and 2b, each having a gripping face 3a and 3b respectively.
  • the jaws 2a and 2b are connected together and biased towards each other by a tension spring 4, the spring 4 being held in position on a spindle 13.
  • the spindle 13 is supported by plates 14a-14d, which are affixed to the jaws 2a and 2b.
  • Extensions of the jaws 2a and 2b form a pair of manually operated members 5a and 5b, which are used to open and close the clip.
  • a novel feature of the clip of Figures 1 and 2 is the provision of a second tension spring 6, which has one end 6a affixed to the inner surface of the jaw 2a by any suitable means, but preferably by welding.
  • the other end of the spring 6 comprises an extension or spike 7.
  • the extension or spike 7 preferably terminates with a needle point 8.
  • the region 7a of the extension 7 is shaped such that it can be removably retained in a recess 1 in the jaw 2a to position the point 8 essentially perpendicular to the inner surface of the jaw 2a, and is so located that the point 8 passes through an aperture 9 in the jaw 2b when the clip is in a closed position (as illustrated in Figure 1).
  • the point 8 will be positioned in the space between the jaws 2a and 2b.
  • a specified amount determined by the length of spike 7
  • the point 8 will be positioned in the space between the jaws 2a and 2b.
  • paper or the like may be inserted between the jaws 2a and 2b.
  • the spike 7 passes through any conveniently located hole in the sheets, and if the sheets do not contain convenient holes, the needle point 8 pierces the paper or the like thus inserted.
  • the clip is re-opened, paper or the like already clamped by the clip remains suspended on the extension or spike 7.
  • the spring 6 can be affixed to the inner surface of the jaw 2a in a manner such that the shaped extension 7a is biased to lie closely adjacent to the inner surface of jaw 2a, instead of extending to the recess 1.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a clip, similar to that depicted in Figures 1 and 2, but further comprising a shaped member 10, having one end 10b affixed to the inner surface of the jaw 2a by any suitable means.
  • a substantially straight region 10a of the member 10 ends in a hook 11.
  • the length of the region 10a and the shape of the hook 11 are such that the hook 11. can be accommodated in a slot 12 in the jaw 2b when the clip is sufficiently opened, thus preventing the clip from closing but allowing the clip to remain open without external pressure having to be applied to the extensions 5a and 5b.
  • the member 10 is affixed to the inner surface of the jaw 2a in a manner such that the member 10 can pivot and lie essentially flat adjacent to the gripping face 3a of the jaw 2a when the hook 11 is disengaged from the slot 12.
  • the substantially straight region 10a offers the additional advantage of providing assistance in placing each paper or the like to be retained in the clip in a similar relative position to the spike 7 and the jaws 2a and 2b, to provide a neat and orderly arrangement of paper or the like so retained.
  • FIG. 4 The half of a clip illustrated in Figure 4 is similar to that depicted in Figure 2 but wherein the second tension spring 6 is replaced by a substantially elongate member 15, which has one end 15a pivotally attached to the inner surface of the jaw 2a.
  • the other end of the member 15 comprises the extension or spike 7 as described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
  • a typical material for the construction of a clip as described above is spring steel.

Abstract

Une pince pour papier et autre matériau en feuille possède deux organes ou mâchoires de serrage (2a, 2b) sollicitées l'une vers l'autre, et une tige ou pointe (7) s'étendant depuis l'une des mâchoires de serrage (2a) vers et dans une ouverture (9) aménagée dans l'autre organe de serrage (2b). La tige ou pointe (7) est adaptée pour pénétrer dans les feuilles qui sont serrées par la pince et les retenir lorsque les mâchoires (2a, 2b) de la pince sont ouvertes. La pince peut également avoir un dispositif permettant aux mâchoires (2a, 2b) de rester ouvertes sans avoir à appliquer une pression extérieure.
