Description

  The present invention relates to a clip used to hold a stacked document or the like.

  There are several types of clips, such as gem clips, eyeball clips, turn clips, etc., formed by bending a wire, to hold clips, documents, cards, etc. (hereinafter referred to as documents) sandwiched between them. On the other hand, there is a problem that if a thick document etc. is sandwiched, it will be easily deformed and the clamping force will be lost, and the eyeball clip and turn clip can sandwich thick documents etc., but in the case of the eyeball clip There is an inconvenience that it is large and bulky, and there is a problem in that all of them have a large number of components and the manufacturing cost is high.

  In order to solve such a problem, there has been proposed a clip formed by using a single elastic metal plate and bending it into a side U shape so that the front ends of a pair of opposing sandwiching plates are closed ( For example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Utility Model Registration No. 3152472 Utility Model Registration No. 3120614

  By the way, a clip formed using a single elastic metal plate has a small number of parts and is advantageous in terms of cost. However, in a structure in which stacked documents or the like are sandwiched by the elasticity of the opposing clamping plates, the clamping force is low. There is a drawback in that it is weakened by nature, and the sandwiched documents are easily detached.

  Moreover, like the clip shown by patent document 2, it formed in the opposing clamping board by cutting and raising so that the elastic piece which inclines back from the front end side may protrude to the opposing surface side, and was inserted between clamping boards A document or the like that is sandwiched between elastic pieces is substantially only sandwiched by the elasticity of the elastic piece, and there is nothing to restrain against the outward escape of the holding plate and the elastic piece. Similarly, there is a problem in that the clamping force is weak.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the object of the present invention is to increase the rebound resilience of the elastic piece by increasing the rigidity of the clamping plate in a state where a document or the like is sandwiched and restraining the outward escape. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clip in which the clamping force for documents and the like is greatly improved.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a pair of sandwiching plates that bend in the same direction at the upper and lower ends of the back plate, one of the sandwiching plates is provided with a window hole, and the other sandwiching plate has a distal end side. A clip body provided with an elastic piece that protrudes between the opposing plates at an upward inclination from the position toward the back plate, and is pivoted to the outer surface of the tip of the one clamping plate of the clip body, The fulcrum can be raised and lowered, and comprises an operation spring plate formed so as to overlap the outer surface of the one opposing plate in a lying state, and the operation spring plate is inclined in the rearward direction from the position on the tip side. On the other hand, there are provided an elastic piece penetrating the window hole of the sandwiching plate and having a front end facing the pair of sandwiching plates, and an operation piece for raising and lowering operation at the position of the rear end portion. In this state, the operating spring plate is kept in its overturned state by elastically engaging the back plate. It is obtained by way.

  The clip body is provided with a cylindrical portion obtained by bending the extension of the one clamping plate into a cylindrical shape on both sides of the outer surface of the distal end portion of the one clamping plate. A structure in which an operating spring plate is attached to the clip body so as to be able to move up and down by providing a protruding shaft that is inclined to the cylindrical body and by inserting the protruding shaft into the cylindrical portion by using the inclination between the cylindrical portions.
