Abstract
A clipping device includes a first clip jaw, a second clip jaw and a spring unit. Each clip jaw has a retaining seat, a restricting slab, and a crevice formed between these. An edge surface of the retaining seat extends to form a flange. The spring unit is disposed in the retaining seats of the first clip jaw and the second clip jaw. The flange of the first clip jaw is movably disposed in the crevice of the second clip jaw, and the flange of the second clip jaw is movably disposed in the crevice of the first clip jaw. The flanges and crevices restrict the motion between the first clip jaw and the second clip jaw, such that the clipping device of the present disclosure does not need a traditional fixture shaft and encloses the spring unit within the first clip jaw and the second clip jaw.
Claims9
A clipping device, comprising:
- a pair of substantially symmetrically structured first clip jaw and a second clip jaw pivotally coupleable with each other in a face to face manner, each having
- a pressing portion arranged on a rear end thereof,
- a jaw portion arranged on a front end thereof,
- a retaining seat arranged on an inner facing side thereof, and
- a restricting slab disposed adjacent to the retaining seat,
- wherein the retaining seat has a cavity formed therein with an opening facing the restricting slab,
- wherein the retaining seat comprises an outwardly extending flange surroundingly formed around the opening of the cavity proximate the restricting slab,
- wherein a crevice is defined between the retaining seat and the restricting slab,
- wherein the flange of the first clip jaw is pivotably receivable in the crevice of the second clip jaw, and the flange of the second clip jaw is pivotably receivable in the crevice of the first clip jaw;
- and
- an elastic unit having an axial direction torsionally received in the cavities and serving as a pivotal shaft,
- wherein a part of the elastic unit is received in the cavity of the first clip jaw and the other part of the elastic unit is received within the cavity of the second clip jaw;
- whereby the first clip jaw and the second clip jaw is rotatable about the axial direction.
