Magnetic clip device

In a magnetic clipping device for magnetically retaining sheet-like articles of the type including two permanent magnet face-like elements which are coupled directly together by a hinge and between which a sheet-like article is retained, the improvement comprising:

• said permanent magnet elements each being shaped as bank note clips for retaining bank notes therebetween and each comprising a relatively thin permanent magnetic foil having a thickness up to about 1 mm in which is embedded an anisotropic powder-like magnet material, each of said foils being magnetized in a direction perpendicular to the faces thereof and in a manner so as to define relatively wide, stripe-like magnetic pole zones for generating magnetic adhering faces, said permanent magnet foils and said zones thereof being so dimensioned and disposed that zones of opposite polarity are disposed opposite one another, said permanent magnetic foils being each mounted onto a solid plate and wherein said solid plates are coupled with each other along one edge by an expansible plate hinge comprising a longitudinally-extending eyelet mounted on one of said plates through which a pin extends, which pin is rigidly coupled with the other of said plates, said hinge being expansible in such a manner that said plates are spaced in a parallel relationship with respect to each other at a distance corresponding to the thickness of the article to be retained therein.
