Magnetic clip holder

Abstract

A clip holder includes a container arranged inside a casing with a space therebetween. The container has a top opening defined by a circumferential edge for receipt of paper clips. Two slots that are extended in such a way not to coincide with each other for retaining a notepaper in a deformed manner. The deformation of the notepaper induces friction between the notepaper and the slots thereby effectively retaining the notepaper in an upright manner. A disk magnet is positioned under the bottom of the container and two magnetic bars are arranged on opposite sides of the container and adjacent the side wall of the container. The magnets are arranged so that the same polarity of the magnetic bars oppose each other, while an opposite polarity of the disk magnet face toward the bottom of the container. The arrangement of the magnets allows at least a fraction of magnetic force lines goes from the magnetic bars to the disk magnet in a vertical direction for retaining paper clips in a standing up manner inside the container. The casing has a hemispherical base with a weight fixed therein to allow the clip holder to swing back and forth with the paper swinging in a non-constrained manner inside the container.
