A clip includes a resilient clip body and a pair of lever arms for opening and closing the clip body, which defines a chamber for retaining or bundling loose articles, such as cords. The clip body has a pair of lever contact zones disposed between a forward end portion and an arcuate rear portion, each of these zones and portions cooperating with the others to define the article-retaining chamber. The arcuate rear portion has a concave-inward shape and the forward end portion defines an opening at least when opened in response to an inward compressive force applied to the lever arms at a location spaced rearwardly from the lever contact zones of the clip body. Optionally, the resilient clip body defines an opening at the forward end portion, even when it is in a relaxed state, such as to facilitate selective removal of bundled articles from the chamber.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a non-slip assembly for a clip device, capable of securely holding documents and having various conveniences in use. Here, the non-slip assembly for a clip device is detachable from the clip device which comprises a clip device body having a pair of pressing ends, bent to have therein an insertion space, in which documents are inserted therein, and which press the documents while being narrowed or closed up by elastic restoration force; and a pair of handles, attached/linked to a handle inserting inlet formed on the clip device body, and pressed so that the clip device body is widened; and the non-slip assembly includes a non-slip unit and an affixing portion. The non-slip unit is formed in a flexible material having elasticity and frictional force, and has a non-slip band, arranged between the pressing ends to come in contact with the documents inserted in the insertion space, and which is/are pressed by the pressing end(s) to prevent slipping on/with the inserted documents. The affixing portion is provided in a pair on both-end portions of the non-slip unit, and are inserted in the handle inserting inlets to couple the non-slip unit to the clip device body.

A method for applying at least one enclosing element to a flat product composition wherein the enclosing element is subsequently applied around a selected edge of the product composition in a perpendicular manner with respect to said edge so as to rest against the product composition. A reliable operation that is independent of the type of enclosing element is achieved in that the selected edge of the product composition is moved forward along a transporting path, the enclosing element is held ready at a specified point of the transporting path so as to intersect the transporting path, the selected edge of the product composition is moved past the specified point, and at the same time the selected edge drives the enclosing element that is held ready.

A clip suitable for holding money, credit cards and document is described. The clip includes features that enable use of decorative leather, cloth, rubber, polyester or polyurethane covers that can be interchanged and conceal the inner, typical metal, workings of the clip. The clip further includes electronic devices held within the covers.

To provide a double clip that can reduce a force for an opening operation while maintaining a length of lever members as long as conventional ones, a double clip 1 includes a clip main body 10 and a pair of lever members 30. The clip main body has two plate-shaped portions 11, 12 and a bottom plate portion 13 connecting thereto. An opening portion 14 is formed by the plate-shaped portions abutting with each other by virtue of elasticity thereof. The lever members are formed long and connect to the plate-shaped portions. First fulcrum portions 11a, 12a are formed between the plate-shaped portions and the lever members to constitute fulcrums of the lever members when they perform an opening operation. The first fulcrum portions are disposed closer to a bottom plate portion side than a central position of a distance from the bottom plate portion to the opening portion.

This invention relates to an effort-saving binder clip, comprising clamping parts, a rear part, and rod members. When the binder clip is used, the first rod member passes through the first hole, and contacts one end of the first clamping part against the opening side of Part A, forming a first fulcrum. From the first fulcrum to the pivotal part, a gap exists between the first rod member and the first clamping part; the second rod member passes through the second hole, and contacts one end of the second clamping part against the opening side of Part C, forming a second fulcrum. From the second fulcrum to the pivotal part, a gap exists between the second rod member and the second clamping part; additional protruding fulcrums are not necessarily arranged on the clamping parts or rod members so as to save effort and greatly simplify production.

The present embodiments relate to an illuminated wreath card holder comprising a wreath form, decorative material configured to create a wreath on the form, and a plurality of ornamental clamp assemblies that are attached to the wreath form and configured to releasably secure, display, and illuminate greeting cards on the wreath. Each ornamental clamp assembly comprises at least one ornamental cover, at least one clip, and at least one light that is positioned between the ornamental cover and the clip. When viewed from the front, the light is hidden behind the ornamental cover and casts a glow up onto the greeting card. The ornamental cover may be star-shaped and have a return flange at its back to which the light and clip are attached. The illuminated wreath card holder may have a power source and be packed in kit form.

A clip suitable for holding money, credit cards and document is described. The clip includes features that enable use of decorative leather, cloth, rubber, polyester or polyurethane covers that can be interchanged and conceal the inner, typical metal, workings of the clip. The clip further includes features that allow control of positioning of the lever arms of the clip for ease of use as a money clip and expansion of the use as a stand for electronic devices.
