DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clip, particularly a clip which has no knob, is difficult to open by hand, and which clips an end of a document or the like by using a dedicated clip pinching device. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, two leaf springs 7 and 8 are arranged so as to face each other, and an end of a document or the like is placed between the two leaf springs 7 and 8. There is a clip 9 for inserting and holding. Such a clip 9 is not provided with a knob, and it is difficult to open the two leaf spring portions 7 and 8 by hand, and a document or the like is pinched using a dedicated clip pinching device. .

The clip pinching device accommodates the clips in a case, pushes the clips one by one into the case to discharge the clips from the front end opening of the case, and pushes the clips out. In this case, the clip is opened between the two leaf spring portions of the clip so as to be expanded to hold the end of a document or the like arranged so as to face the front end opening of the case. ing.

[0004] When the above-mentioned conventional clip 9 is loaded in the clip pinching device, it must be inserted one by one from the rear end opening of the case, which is troublesome and the clips fall apart and are lost. I often did.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to enable a plurality of clips to be efficiently and simply loaded into a clip pinching device, and to prevent each clip from being dispersed and lost. With the goal.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above object is achieved by the present invention, that is, by using a clip pinching device having a clip pushing mechanism and a clip expanding spring to pinch an end of a document or the like. A pair of leaf spring portions 2 and 3 which respectively face forward from both upper and lower ends of the back plate portion 1 and contact the inner surfaces near the front end thereof and slightly separate the front edge thereof. Small projections 4 and 5 are provided on the front edges of the leaf springs 2 and 3, and small holes 6 are formed in the back plate 1.
The small projections 4 and 5 are inserted into the small holes 6 of the back plate 1 having the same structure to enable locking, and the small projections 4 and 5 are further fitted into the small holes 6 of the same structure. This can be achieved by a clip in which a plurality of projections can be inserted and locked, and a plurality of them can be connected in the front-rear direction.

[0007]

1 and 2 show a clip 10 according to the present invention.
This is a single item. The clip 10 is made of a metal plate. The pair of leaf springs is made of a metal plate. The plate springs 2 and 3 are provided with small projections 4 and 5 at the center of the front edges thereof, and the back plate 1 is provided with small holes 6. The maximum distance between the outer surfaces of the two small projections 4 and 5 is slightly larger than the vertical length of the small hole 6, and the horizontal length of the small hole 6 is slightly smaller than the width of the small projections 4 and 5. The dimensions are large. Further, the small projections 4 and 5 have a curved surface shape, and the leading edge thereof is slightly bent toward the center.

Next, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a plurality of clips 1.
This shows a state where 0 is connected. That is, the small projections 4 and 5 are inserted into the small holes 6 provided in the back plate 1 of the clip 10 having the same structure, and are locked.
By inserting the small projections 4 and 5 of another clip 10 of the same structure into the small holes 6 and locking them, the plurality of clips 10 can be connected and integrated in the front-rear direction.
The small projections 4 and 5 are inserted into and locked in the small holes 6 by elastic deformation, and can be removed from the small holes 6 by elastic deformation.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a state in which the clip 10 is loaded in the clip pinching device 11. The clip pinching device 11 includes a case 12 and an extruding plate 13.
, A pair of left and right clip-spreading springs 14,
And the return spring 15 of the case 1
2 has a clip discharge port 16 at the front end and a clip insertion port 17 at the rear end of the case 12. The case 12 has an internal space capable of accommodating a plurality of clips 10, and the number of clips 10 according to the size of the internal space is previously connected in the front-rear direction through the clip insertion port 17 as described above. Will be inserted.

When the document 18 is to be pinched, the following operation is performed. First, the case 12 is arranged so that the end of the document or the like 18 faces the clip discharge port 16 at the front end. And
The slider 19 integrated with the push plate 13 and protruding to the upper surface of the case 12 is moved forward by a finger operation. Then, the extruding plate 13 pushes the leading clip 10 and the clip 1
The small projections 4 and 5 of the subsequent clip 10 are pulled out from the small hole 6 of the back plate 1 of the first clip 10 by elastic deformation, and the first clip 10
Only separates from subsequent clips. The leading separated clip 10 is pushed forward by the push plate 13 as it is,
It passes between the springs 14 for expanding the clip. At this time, upper and lower ear portions 20 at both ends of the clip 10 (see FIG. 1).
The spring 14 for clip expansion is inserted between
Expand 0. Then, in the spread state, the clip 10 moves forward to the vicinity of the clip discharge port 16, where the document 1 or the like is moved.
8 is pinched. Then, it is pushed out from the clip discharge port 16 as it is. Thereafter, when the finger is released from the slider 19, the pushing plate 13 is moved backward by the force of the return spring 15. Thereafter, if the same operation as described above is performed, the clips 10 are separated one after another, and the ends of the documents 18 are pinched and stopped.

[0011]

The clip of the present invention is as described above,
Since the plurality of clips 10 can be efficiently inserted into the case 12 of the clip pinching device 11 in a state of being connected in the front-rear direction, there is no trouble of inserting one by one into the case as in the case of the conventional clip, and extremely handling This has the effect of making it easier. There is also an advantage that the clips 10 are dispersed and not lost.
