Abstract
A spring clip is arranged to include confronting first and second clamp plates biased together by a spring member mounted between first and second actuator plates, with the actuator plates biased towards one another by the spring member. The first and second actuator plates are arranged in a parallel fixed relationship relative to the first and second clamp plates and pivotal relative to one another about an axle shaft. The first and second clamp plates include resilient engaging projections to enhance securement of a paper workpiece directed therebetween. Further, second actuator plates of a plurality of the spring clip members may be assembled together by utilizing fastener plugs directed through the respective second actuator plates.
Claims5
A spring clip structure, comprising,
- at least one clip assembly having a first clamp plate, the first clamp plate including a first clamp plate first end spaced from and to parallel a first clamp plate second end, and
- a second end recess directed into the first clamp plate medially of the first clamp plate second end, and
- an axle shaft mounted to the first clamp plate second end extending colinearly with the first clamp plate second end over the second end recess, and
- a first actuator plate having a first actuator plate first end spaced from and to parallel a first actuator plate second end, with the first actuator plate first end fixedly mounted to the axle shaft diametrically opposed to the first clamp plate second end, and
- a first end recess directed into the first actuator plate from the first actuator plate first end coextensive with the second end recess, and
- a second clamp plate having a second clamp plate first end and a second clamp plate second end, and
- a pivot tube mounted to the second clamp plate second end receiving the axle shaft therewithin within the second end recess and the first end recess, and
- a second actuator plate mounted to the pivot tube diametrically opposed to the second clamp plate second end extending along the first actuator plate, with the second actuator plate second end extending beyond the first actuator plate second end.
