A clamper includes: a first clamping member having a first base portion and a first contact portion that is to be in contact with one surface of the workpiece; a second clamping member having a second contact portion that is to be in contact with the other surface of the workpiece; and a clamping member biasing member configured to bias at least one of the first clamping member and the second clamping member in a direction of bringing the first contact portion and the second contact portion closer to each other. The first contact portion has a plurality of plate spring portions extending from the first base portion, the plurality of plate spring portions configured to elastically deform independently from each other to come into contact with the workpiece.

In accordance with various embodiments, clothes hanger clips are provided. In some embodiments, clips that can be attached to a clothes hanger are provided, the clips comprising: a first side having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein a first portion of the inner surface of the first side is covered with a first material that includes at least one of a silicone gel, a thermoplastic elastomer, and a polyether; a second side having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein a first portion of the inner surface of the second side is covered with a second material that includes at least one of a silicone gel, a thermoplastic elastomer, and a polyether; and a connector that couples an inner portion of the first side to an inner portion of the second side, wherein the clothes hanger is attached to the clip through the connector.

The invention comprises of two types of units, which can be assembled and joined together to form a chain. Front part (2) of each unit consists of oval reinforced enlargement with a boss shape (5) having a cylindrical neck (6) and a circular enlargement (9) with a reinforced ledges (7). The end part (4) of each unit consists of a formed drop-shaped opening (17), an entrance (18) and a part-circular recess (19) for receiving the neck (6). The recess (19) has a mouth shape to allow the neck (6) to pass through it with an interference fit to provide a hinge attaching each unit to another. The intermediate part (3) consists of linear and waved pinch slot (10) formed between two semi rigid side portions of the moulding which diverge away from one another so that the pinch slot (10) can be created.

A clip element secures a towel or other cloth-like item around a person's body. The clip secures a cloth item that is wrapped around a user's body where one end of the cloth is flat against the wearer's skin and the other end of the cloth has been gathered and tucked behind the flat cloth and preventing separation of overlapping and tucked portions of the cloth item. Unlike previous clips where the clip exerts the pressure, the bulk from the cloth and the barrier that is the wearers torso, creates the leverage to hold the towel in place. The flexible bridge allows a user to pull out on the bottom front portion of the clip while catching the back portion of the clip behind the cloth on the wearer's torso to “thread” the cloth up to the top of the clip. Once the cloth knot (created from gathering one end of the towel and tucking it behind the flat part of the towel against the wearer's skin) is at the top rounded portion of the internal clip the cloth is being held by the pressure that is created by the clips fullness.

A laundry treatment apparatus includes a cabinet having an introduction/discharge opening, a drawer configured so as to be discharged from the cabinet through the introduction/discharge opening, a through-hole formed in an upper surface of the drawer, a tub that is located inside the drawer and that defines a space that is configured to receive water, an introduction aperture formed in an upper surface of the tub, the introduction aperture being located under the through-hole, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub for receiving laundry supplied to the introduction aperture, a door that is configured to open and close the introduction aperture, the door being coupled to one of the drawer or the tub, and a door sensing unit that is configured to determine whether the door is opened during a state in which the drawer is inserted into the cabinet.

A hanger for preventing reverse flow includes: a body; a pair of supports extending from the body, being apart from each other, and forming a gripping portion housing the cloth inserted in a forward direction; a hanging pressure adjusting piece extending from at least one of the body and the pair of supports; a reverse flow preventing piece obliquely extending towards the body from one of the pair of supports and the hanging pressure adjusting piece and having an extending end that elastically faces the other one of the pair of supports and the hanging pressure adjusting piece; and a hanging pressure adjusting piece projection formed on at least one of the body and the pair of supports so that the hanging pressure adjusting piece is hung thereon to adjust elasticity of the reverse flow preventing piece. When the cloth housed in the gripping portion flows in a reverse direction, a surface of the cloth is folded and secured to an end of the reverse flow preventing piece, and thus, flow of the cloth in the reverse direction is prevented.
