Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a stationery item, specifically a book clip. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, when people are looking through dictionaries or thick books, they often have other tasks to do, such as copying. This requires one hand to copy while the other hand holds the notebook. For smokers, this often involves holding a cigarette, or using both hands to operate a computer or typewriter. To keep these thick books on the page they want to read, people usually use paperweights. However, paperweights rely on their own weight to stabilize the book, making them very inconvenient to carry. Moreover, the width of the paperweight often obscures part of the content, requiring the paperweight to be moved to read the entire page. Furthermore, paperweights are prone to sliding on slanted surfaces and cannot hold the book down well. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a book clip that can be conveniently clipped to both sides of an open book spine, making it easy to carry without obscuring the text.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A book clip includes a support, a top hinge, and a locking bar. The top hinge is pivotally connected to the top of the support via a first rotating shaft. The locking bar is movably inserted through the top of the support and located behind the top hinge. The front side of the locking bar has a locking groove. The top hinge has a locking block corresponding to the locking groove. When the top hinge is closed, it is locked by the locking block and the locking groove on the locking bar. When the top hinge is opened, it is unlocked by pulling the locking bar to separate the locking groove from the locking block.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper hinge includes a rotating block, a second rotating shaft, and a clamping block. The rear side of the rotating block is rotatably connected to the support via the first rotating shaft, and the front side of the rotating block is rotatably connected to the clamping block via the second rotating shaft. The locking block is provided on the rear side of the rotating block.
[0007] Furthermore, two first torsion springs are sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and the two ends of the first torsion springs respectively abut against the inner side of the support and the rotating block.
[0008] Furthermore, a second torsion spring is sleeved on the second rotating shaft, and the two ends of the second torsion spring abut against the outer sides of the rotating block and the clamping block, respectively.
[0009] Furthermore, the book holder also includes a limiting block, which is installed inside the support, and the limiting block is provided with a plurality of limiting posts at intervals corresponding to the rotating block.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: this utility model has the characteristics of simple and reasonable structure, convenient to carry, and can be stably clipped to both sides of the spine of an open book without obstructing the contents of the book. Attached Figure Description
[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0015] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.
[0016] Example
[0017] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment provides a book clip, including a support 1, a limiting block 2, an upper hinge 3, and a locking bar 4. The upper hinge 3 is pivotally connected to the top of the support 1 via a first rotating shaft 5. The locking bar 4 is movably inserted through the top of the support 1 and located on the rear side of the upper hinge 3. The front side of the locking bar 4 is provided with a locking groove 41. The upper hinge 3 is provided with a locking block 34 corresponding to the locking groove 41. When the upper hinge 3 is closed, it is locked with the locking groove 41 on the locking bar 4 by the locking block 34. When the upper hinge 3 is unfolded, the locking groove 41 is separated from the locking block 34 by pulling the locking bar 4 to unlock it.
[0018] Furthermore, the upper hinge 3 includes a rotating block 31, a second rotating shaft 32, and a clamping block 33. The rear side of the rotating block 31 is rotatably connected to the support 1 via the first rotating shaft 5, and the front side of the rotating block 31 is rotatably connected to the clamping block 33 via the second rotating shaft 32. The locking block 34 is located on the rear side of the rotating block 31. In actual operation, the book pages are placed inside the support 1, and the upper hinge 3 clamps the book pages with the clamping block 33 when closed.
[0019] Furthermore, the limiting block 2 is installed inside the support 1, and several limiting posts 21 are provided on the limiting block 2 at intervals corresponding to the rotating block, thereby limiting the rotation range of the rotating block 31 through the several limiting posts 21.
[0020] Furthermore, two first torsion springs 6 are sleeved on the first rotating shaft 5, and the two ends of the first torsion springs 6 respectively abut against the inner side of the support 1 and the rotating block 31. When the locking groove 41 of the locking bar 4 separates from the locking block 34 of the rotating block 31, the upper hinge 3 can automatically open under the action of the first torsion springs 6.
[0021] Furthermore, a second torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 32, with both ends of the second torsion spring 7 abutting against the outer sides of the rotating block 31 and the clamping block 33, respectively. When the upper hinge 3 is closed, the clamping block 33 can strengthen the clamping force on the pages under the action of the second torsion spring 7.
[0022] This book clip features a simple and reasonable structure, is easy to carry, and can be stably clipped to both sides of the spine of an open book without obstructing the contents.
[0023] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
