Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily necessities technology and relates to a clip storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, clothespins are a frequently used item. From hanging clothes to drying blankets, from securing socks to clipping open food bags, they are ubiquitous. When hanging clothes, clothespins keep them flat and prevent them from being blown around in the wind; when drying blankets, lay them out, secure the four corners with clothespins, and hang them on the clothesline to prevent them from falling down and ensure they are fully dried; using clothespins to clip socks in pairs makes storage convenient and avoids the embarrassment of losing socks; and using clothespins to clip open food bags prevents the food inside from getting damp and spoiling.

[0003] However, due to the lack of a dedicated storage device, the clips are often left lying around after each use and are frequently lost the next time they are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a clip storage device. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is the lack of a dedicated clip storage device.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A clip storage device includes a storage rack, characterized in that the storage rack is formed by bending a metal rod, the middle part of the metal rod is bent to form a notched ring for clip holding, and one end of the metal rod is bent outward to form a hook, and the other end of the metal rod is bent inward to form a hook.

[0007] The storage ring of this clip storage device can be used to hold and store clips, allowing them to be stored together one by one to prevent loss. At the same time, the hook allows the clip storage device to be hung, reducing space occupation and making it convenient to take out and use the clips as needed and store them when not in use, thus solving the problem of the lack of a dedicated clip storage device.

[0008] In the aforementioned clip storage device, a first decorative cover is connected to the end of the metal rod located inside the storage ring. The size of the first decorative cover is larger than the size of the storage ring, and there is a gap between the first decorative cover and the storage ring. The first decorative cover can cover the storage ring of the metal rod, making the overall shape of the clip storage device novel and beautiful. At the same time, the first decorative cover can also protect the storage ring of the metal rod, making the clip storage device durable. In addition, the gap between the first decorative cover and the storage ring does not affect the clamping of the clip on the storage ring.

[0009] In the aforementioned clip storage device, a second decorative cover is connected to the first decorative cover. The first and second decorative covers are respectively positioned opposite each other on both sides of the storage ring. The second decorative cover is larger than the storage ring, and there is a gap between the second decorative cover and the storage ring. The first and second decorative covers further conceal the storage ring of the metal rod, making the overall design of the clip storage device more novel and aesthetically pleasing. Simultaneously, the first and second decorative covers also further protect the storage ring of the metal rod, making the clip storage device more durable. Furthermore, the gaps between the first and second decorative covers and the storage ring do not affect the clamping of the clip on the storage ring.

[0010] In the aforementioned clip storage device, the first decorative cover has a snap-fit ​​groove, and the end of the metal rod located inside the storage ring is L-shaped and snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove. The hook, storage ring, and L-shaped end of the metal rod are all located on the same plane. This allows for a detachable connection between the first decorative cover and the metal rod. Furthermore, the fact that the hook, storage ring, and L-shaped end of the metal rod are all on the same plane reduces the space required for this clip storage device.

[0011] In the aforementioned clip storage device, the first decorative cover has a first annular protrusion located outside the snap-fit ​​groove. The first annular protrusion has a clearance notch radially open along the first decorative cover and a positioning groove circumferentially open along the first decorative cover. The positioning groove and the clearance notch are connected. The second decorative cover has a second annular protrusion that can be fitted onto the first annular protrusion. The second annular protrusion has a positioning block radially arranged along the second decorative cover, and the positioning block can be engaged within the positioning groove. This allows the first decorative cover, the metal rod, and the second decorative cover to be detachably connected and securely joined.

[0012] In the aforementioned clip storage device, the second decorative cover has a pressure ring located inside the second annular protrusion, which is opposite to the snap-fit ​​groove. When the positioning block is engaged in the positioning groove, the first annular protrusion abuts against the second decorative cover, and the pressure ring abuts against the L-shaped end of the metal rod. This allows for a detachable and secure connection between the first and second decorative covers.

[0013] In the aforementioned clip storage device, a locking block is provided on one side of the positioning groove wall, and the distance between the locking block and the other side of the positioning groove is less than or equal to the size of the positioning block. The locking block prevents the positioning block from detaching from the positioning groove without external force, ensuring a secure connection between the first and second decorative covers.

[0014] In the aforementioned clip storage device, the positioning grooves are multiple and centrally symmetrically distributed. This makes the connection between the first and second decorative covers more secure, and allows for easy assembly and disassembly by rotating the second decorative cover.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this clip storage device are as follows: the storage ring of this clip storage device can be used to hold and store clips, allowing clips to be stored one by one to avoid loss. At the same time, the hook allows the clip storage device to be hung, reducing space occupation and making it convenient to take out and use clips and store them when not in use, thus solving the problem of the lack of existing dedicated clip storage devices.
