Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clip for holding paper, banknotes or the like together, with a substantially U-shaped bracket, which has a first and a second leg, which are connected to one another by a connecting web, the two legs having a space for receiving of paper, banknotes or the like between them.
  • brackets are e.g. known as money clips or as a note holder in the most varied of embodiments.
  • US 5,022,124 is a clamp device with a first arcuate clamping part made of an elastic material, which is connected to an upward bending part at one end, and a second clamping part with a shape similar to the first clamping part, which is connected to the upper end of the bent part connected is.
  • the second clamping part has an inner bent part and an outer bent part.
  • a clamping device for receiving loose documents which has a two-legged clamping spring.
  • This clamping spring is slidably mounted in a guide and can be widened for inserting documents.
  • the guide has a clamping spring housing which is U-shaped in cross section and has two clamping jaws, one of which is resilient.
  • a staple which has a plate from which a holding tongue is separated.
  • the retaining tongue is folded parallel to the plate near the root of the tongue.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of developing a clip of the type mentioned in such a way that it ensures secure storage and firm cohesion of the jammed papers, bank notes or the like.
  • the first leg forms with its free end resiliently on the inside of the second leg with this a first pressure point and has a tongue which protrudes from the surface of the first leg in the direction of the second leg, the free end of the connecting web is facing, and which forms resiliently on the inside of the second leg with this a second pressure point.
  • the holding effect of the clip is therefore largely independent of the number of banknotes or memos or the thickness of the paper stack between the two legs.
  • the second printing point prevents the stack from rotating or swiveling around the first printing point, so that the bank notes or memos cannot be released from the holder gradually by movements.
  • the first pressure point in the clip according to the invention runs in a line shape essentially transversely to the longitudinal extension of the clip.
  • other designs of the printing point e.g. zigzag, several punctiform contact points or the like
  • the second leg preferably projects beyond the first leg in the longitudinal extent of the clip. This allows a bill or sticky note to be passed along the inside surface of the second leg until it first reaches the first printing point and then the second printing point.
  • the first leg has a first tab angled in relation to the second leg in the region of its free end. This makes it easier to insert a bill or a note between the legs at the first printing point.
  • the first tab at the free end of the first leg preferably encloses an angle of approximately 10 ° to 80 ° with the second leg in the rest position.
  • the connecting web between the first leg and the second leg preferably has an approximately semicircular shape in cross section.
  • the clip thus has a pleasing shape and does not form any corners or the like at which the clip e.g. could get caught in a bag on other items.
  • the connecting web preferably connects the first leg to the second leg in one piece.
  • the connecting web, the first leg and the second leg are made of spring steel. This provides a very stable clip that does not wear out in use and particularly well preserves its elasticity and spring force. However, less high-quality materials are also suitable for embodying the subject matter of the invention.
  • the first leg and the second leg have a substantially rectangular outline in plan view.
  • other shapes are also possible.
  • the tongue can have at its free end a second tab angled with respect to the second leg. This prevents the free end of the tongue from getting caught with the banknote or sticky note when pulling out a bill or a note and thereby damaging it.
  • the second tab at the free end of the tongue with the second leg in the rest position forms an angle of approximately 10 ° to 80 °.
  • the angle is preferably selected such that the second tab runs essentially parallel to the first leg.
  • the tongue is shaped out of the surface of the first leg and has about a third of its width.
  • the tongue has the advantage of saving material and thus weight.
  • the second leg is set up on its outer surface to receive a relief, image or object.
  • a relief, image or object e.g. in the form that the second leg has a plate attached to its outer surface, which has an engraving, a print, an enamel coating, a stylized object or part of an object (a reduced sporting article, e.g. a billiard ball segment, part of a sporting article, e.g. a golf ball segment, an ice hockey puck, a car brand emblem, a small pocket knife or the like.)
  • the clip, the plate or the object attached thereto can have a noble metal coating or at least the plate and the object attached can be formed from a noble metal alloy.
  • a case is attached to the second leg, which is used to hold at least one card-shaped object, e.g. a credit card, check card, business card, telephone card etc. is set up.
  • at least one card-shaped object e.g. a credit card, check card, business card, telephone card etc. is set up.
  • the case is preferably formed from two, preferably mutually spaced, rectangular plates which are connected to one another at least on three edges.
  • the open side of the case can be either on a long side or on a wide side of the respective plates.
  • one of the two plates can have a recess which can also be open towards the edge of the plate. Through this recess, the card can be easily pushed out of the case or pushed into the case with one finger.
  • the three edges of the two plates are either in one piece or connected to one another by a frame, the frame being able to be formed by a one-part or multi-part groove profile, which preferably has a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape and has two grooves for receiving one plate each.
  • the groove profile is dimensioned so that a card-shaped object fits between the two plates and is held there without falling out.
  • the groove profile preferably has at least one groove for receiving a card-shaped object.
  • the card-shaped object can be clamped in the groove or can also be held by a spring arrangement.
  • the groove profile can be an extruded profile.
  • the groove profile is formed from two nested cross-sections which are essentially U-shaped, with one leg of the inner profile bar between the outside and one leg of the outer leg between the inside Profile bar a plate is added.
  • the plates can be glued, clamped, soldered or welded into the respective grooves.
  • the internal profile strip preferably has a web between its two outer legs, which together with the two legs delimits two grooves for receiving the two card-shaped objects.
  • the frame and the plates are made of metal, preferably aluminum, chrome-plated, silver-plated or gold-plated (perforated) steel sheet.
  • the case can also be designed without the clip in the manner described above.
  • FIG. 1 shows a clip for holding paper, banknotes or the like together, with a substantially U-shaped bracket 10, which has a first leg 12 and a second leg 14, which are connected to one another by a connecting web 16.
  • the two legs 12, 14 delimit a space 18 for receiving the paper, the banknotes or the like between them.
  • the first leg 12 rests (in the shown position) - without paper, banknotes or the like - with its free end 20 resiliently against the inside 22 of the second leg 14 and forms a first pressure point D1 with it.
  • the first leg 12 has a tongue 24 which projects from the surface of the first leg 12 in the direction of the second leg 14.
  • the free end 26 of the tongue 24 faces the connecting web 16 and the tongue 24 resiliently lies on the inside 22 of the second leg 14 and forms a second pressure point D2 therewith.
  • the connecting web 16 connects the first leg 12 to the second leg 14 in one piece, i.e. the clip is made of a uniform resilient material, preferably spring steel.
  • the connecting web 16 between the first leg 12 and the second leg 14 has an approximately semicircular shape in cross section, and the first leg 12 and the second leg 14 have a substantially elongated shape and a substantially rectangular outline in plan view (see FIG 1 b).
  • first pressure point D1 and the second pressure point D2 run approximately linearly along a crease edge, which is explained further below, essentially transversely to the longitudinal extent of the clip.
  • the first leg 12 has in the region of its free end 20 a first tab 28 angled with respect to the second leg 14 along a first folding edge K1, the angle between the first tab 28 and the inner surface 22 of the second leg 14 being approximately 40 °.
  • the second leg 14 projects beyond the first leg 12 in the longitudinal extent of the clip, so that a V-shaped opening 30 is formed by the first tab 28 and the inner surface 22 of the second leg 14, which tapers in the direction of the first pressure point D1 and thus the introduction of banknotes or papers into the clip easier.
  • the tongue 24 is formed out of the surface of the first leg 12 and has about a third of its width. At its free end 26, the tongue 24 extends up to the connecting web 16. Edges of equal width, which form the first leg 12, run on both longitudinal sides of the tongue 24. Furthermore, the tongue 24 has at its free end 26 a second tab 32 angled relative to the inner surface 22 of the second leg 14 along a second folding edge K2. In the rest position (shown), the second tab 32 at the free end 26 of the tongue 24 forms an angle with the second leg 14 of approximately 10 ° to 80 °, preferably approximately 20 °. The angle is selected in relation to the dimensions of the semicircular connecting web 16 and the legs 12, 14 so that the second tab 32 runs essentially parallel to the first leg 12.
  • the tongue 24 is delimited by a substantially U-shaped slot S, which is machined into the surface of the first leg 12 in order to expose the tongue 24. Through the slot S, the tongue 24 is separated from the connecting web 16 and the two edges that form the first leg 12.
  • the second leg 14 is on its outer surface 34 for receiving a relief, image or object of the G
  • the second leg 14 carries on its outer surface 34 a plate B, which is fastened (glued, soldered, riveted or the like) to it, which also has an engraving, an imprint, an enamel, the object G or the like.
  • the clip on the outer surface 34 of the second leg 14 has a stylized sports object, here a tennis racket T.
  • a stylized golf bag G (see FIGS. 3, 3b) can also be attached to the outer surface 34 of the second leg 14.
  • FIGs. 4a, 4b Another possibility is shown in Figs. 4a, 4b, where an image motif in the form of an imprint A (not shown), e.g. with an overlying (not shown) protective layer, or a relief can be incorporated.
  • the plate B or the outer surface 34 of the second leg 14 can be covered with a utility object, e.g. a functioning watch.
  • a utility object e.g. a functioning watch.
  • a golf ball segment or the like on the second leg 14 a cup-shaped holder can be provided, which establishes a connection between the jewelry or everyday object and the second leg.
  • FIG. 5a-7c Another example of a commodity that can be attached to the clip is illustrated in Figures 5a-7c in several embodiments.
  • the commodity shown in Fig. 5a is a case 40 which is used to hold at least one card-shaped object, e.g. a credit card, check card, or the like. This case is glued, soldered, or welded to the second leg 14 of the clip (see FIG. 5b).
  • the case 40 is formed from two rectangular plates made of aluminum, or chromed, silver-plated or gold-plated perforated steel sheet 42, 44, which are arranged at a distance from one another and are connected to one another at three edges 40a, 40b, 40c by a frame 46.
  • the plate 44 facing away from the clip has a recess 48 which is open towards the edge of the broad side of the plate 44 and which serves as an insertion opening for a card.
  • a field 50 for labeling, engraving, badge or the like can be provided on this plate.
  • the frame is formed by a one-part or multi-part groove profile made of the same materials as the frame 46. Either the groove profile is formed from straight sections along each edge 40a, 40b, 40c, which are connected to one another at the corners, or the frame 46 is a single U-shaped part.
  • FIGS. 6a-6d differ from the embodiments according to FIGS. 5a-5c only in that the open side of the case 40 is not arranged on a broad side but on a narrow side. Accordingly, the recess 48 is also open to the narrow side, on which the insertion opening for the card K is formed by the slot between the plates 42, 44.
  • 5a-7b has an essentially U-shaped cross-sectional shape and has two grooves 52, 54 for receiving a plate 42, 44 and a groove 56 for receiving a card K.
  • the groove profile is formed from two nested profile strips 46a, 46b that are essentially U-shaped in cross-section, wherein between the outside of each leg 46b ', 46b "of the inner profile bar 46b and the inside of each leg 46a ', 46a "of the outer profile strip 46a, a plate 42, 44 is received.
  • the internal profile strip 46b can have a web 58 between its two outer legs 46b ', 46b "which, together with the two legs 46b', 46b", delimits two grooves 56a, 56b for receiving two cards K.
  • the internal profile strip 46b thus has an approximately E-shaped cross-sectional shape, which can also be produced by two U-profiles placed next to one another.
