Abstract
A binder clip, having a structure that removably binds several sheets of documents rotating and pressing hinged pressing levers that function to open or close the mouth of a clip body, thereby binding the documents prior to keeping them in a desired place, is disclosed. The binder clip has a clip body. A coupling guide, formed as a U-shaped frame body, is placed outside each of upper and lower surfaces of the clip body, with a locking projection provided at each end of the U-shaped coupling guide in order to be seated in the pocket. A pair of hinge holes is formed on opposite positions of the inner surface of the coupling guide. A plate-type pressing lever is formed as a plate-shaped body having a hinge hole so that the pressing lever is hinged to the hinge holes of the coupling guide using a hinge pin.
Claims7
A binder clip comprising:
- a clip body formed by bending a sheet to have a triangular cross-section, comprising open opposite sides, upper and lower jaws respectively having upper and lower pockets at front ends thereof, and an elastic web connected to the rear ends of the jaws in order to provide elasticity to the clip body, so that the jaws are levered upwards and downwards by bending strength of the elastic web, thus opening a mouth of the clip body;
- a coupling guide formed as a U-shaped frame body having a predetermined thickness and placed outside each of upper and lower surfaces of the clip body, with a locking projection provided at each end of the U-shaped coupling guide in order to be seated in the pocket of an associated jaw, and a pair of hinge holes formed on opposite positions of an inner surface of a rear part of the coupling guide;
- and
- a plate-type pressing lever formed as a plate-shaped body having a hinge hole in one end thereof so that the pressing lever is hinged to the hinge holes of the coupling guide using a hinge pin, thus being rotatable around the hinge pin in order to be opened or closed relative to the coupling guide.
