Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a handheld clamping tool, and more specifically, to an integrated multi-functional object clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In production and daily life, people often need to hold objects. For example, when manufacturing mechanical parts, clamps are needed to hold components and install them in a specific position; in medical surgery, clamps are needed to hold drugs or dissected tissues and organs; during meals, clamps are needed to pick up dishes, steaks, pancakes, and other foods; and during high-temperature food processing, clamps are also needed to help pick up semi-finished or finished products… Clamps are indispensable in almost every aspect of production and daily life. However, existing clamps have drawbacks such as being inconvenient to use with forks and difficult to clean.

[0003] To meet people's needs, clips for holding objects have been designed. The Chinese patent database includes patents such as CN200720169548.4 ("Circle Clip"), CN201610628095.0 ("A Spoon and Fork Integrated Cutlery"), and CN201810689394.4 ("Multifunctional Dinner Fork").

[0004] CN202420487926.7, "Multifunctional U-shaped Fork," etc. The "Circle Clip" can hold test tubes or beakers in the laboratory and urine cups in hospitals; "A Spoon and Fork Integrated Cutlery," "Multifunctional Fork," and "Multifunctional U-shaped Fork" are mainly used as cutlery. Among them, the "Multifunctional U-shaped Fork" has a relatively complex structure and an external handle, which increases its manufacturing process and cost. Therefore, further improvements are needed to make it easier to manufacture and lower its cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an integrated multi-functional clip to simplify the structure of existing technology, reduce its production cost, and make it more convenient to use.

[0006] The designer's integrated multi-functional clip is made of a single piece of stainless steel. One end is a flexible connector in the shape of a U. Both ends are fixed with a pair of handles and forks. The sides of the handles and forks are shaped like the English letter J. The forks are bent relative to the handles to form a fork clip.

[0007] The width of the connector is smaller than the width of the handle, connecting the two handles into one unit.

[0008] The fork end has two parallel fork tips with symmetrical anti-slip grooves.

[0009] The design focus of this utility model device is on multi-functionality and lightweight design. The stainless steel connector allows the handles and fork ends on both sides to be folded and unfolded, and the device is manufactured in one piece, reducing manufacturing costs and material usage.

[0010] The usage and principle of this utility model are as follows: This integrated multi-functional gripper is not left- or right-handed. The method of use is to hold the handle to pick up the desired item. The elasticity of the stainless steel connector allows the left and right forks to be moved by the fingers to pick up the item. For example, retracting the left and right stainless steel forks allows for picking up nuts; using a conventional stainless steel fork allows for picking up soft foods such as cakes and steaks. When encountering other desired items, both forking and gripping can be used simultaneously.

[0011] This utility model of a food clamp has a wide range of applications. It can be used as tableware; the stainless steel forks on the left and right sides retract inwards, allowing food to be wrapped in the four fork tines for easy access to nuts or soft foods. It can also be used as a medical device to hold medical materials, containers, or medicines. Furthermore, it can be used as a tool, like tweezers, to pick up certain fine particles. Compared to existing U-shaped forks, it reduces the clamp's weight, manufacturing steps, and costs. It is easy to use and clean, and suitable for gripping various solid objects.

[0014] Example

[0015] This embodiment describes one implementation of the device. Any components that adopt the principle of this utility model and use equivalent components during assembly are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0016] The integrated multi-functional holding clip is made of a single stainless steel sheet with a thickness of 1.5mm. One end of the clip is a flexible connector 1, which is U-shaped. A pair of handles 2 and fork ends 3 are fixed to the two ends of the clip. The sides of the handles 2 and fork ends 3 are shaped like the English letter J. The fork ends 3 are bent at about 130° relative to the handles 2 to form a fork clip.

[0017] The connector 1 is 6mm wide; the handle 2 is 12mm wide and 126mm long. The connector 1 connects the two handles 2 into one unit.

[0018] The fork end 3 consists of two parallel fork tips 4. The fork end 3 is 12mm wide and 56mm long. There are 5 pairs of symmetrical anti-slip grooves 5 on the fork tips 4.

[0019] The material used for the clip in this utility model designed by the designer is SUS304 stainless steel, and the total length is 220mm.

[0020] The weight of a single component of this utility model is 30g.
