Paper clothespin

Abstract

To provide a structure capable of being used as a clothespin by punching a piece of sheet using paper or sheet and assembling the punched piece.SOLUTION: A sheet-like non-bulky clothespin can be made by punching a piece of sheet to be a shape in which a clip part and a stay part having a spring structure are connected, and assembling the punched piece so as to have a function as a clothespin. The clothespin can be kept on a piece of sheet so as to be easily carried, therefore, it can be used in an emergency. The sheet-like clothespin allows easy original printing, therefore, it can be used as a tool for advertisement such as sales-promoting article.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a clip that can be assembled from a single sheet of paper, leather, plastic, metal, or other material and used as a clothespin. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to make conventional clothespins or clips practical using a single sheet of paper or other material, it was not possible to create a spring structure on its own, and it was necessary to attach a spring-like material such as metal or plastic separately.

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Mito 3225409 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Metal or resin clothespins are bulky when not in use due to their three-dimensional structure. We provide a structure that can be used as a clothespin by cutting out a single sheet of paper or sheet and assembling it. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to cut out a sheet of fabric with a clip part and a spring-structured stay part connected, and assemble it to function as a clothespin. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] Since it can be stored on a single sheet and is easy to carry, it can be used in emergencies or as a promotional tool for sales promotions. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the development view of Figure 1, (1a) and (1b) are folded to form the side portions. (2a) and (2b) are crossed to form the fulcrum of rotation. (3a) is stored as the spring structure portion to form the clothespin assembly.

[0010] Figure 2 shows the assembly method for constructing the side surface, in which four surfaces are assembled at 90 degrees in the direction of the arrows to raise the side and support parts.

[0011] Figure 3 shows the structure assembled by crossing the fulcrums on the raised side sections.

[0012] Figure 4 shows the spring part of the structure being assembled, with the fulcrums crossed to allow movement.

[0013] Figure 5 shows a structure in which the assembled spring part is housed inside the main body and distorted to obtain repulsion.

[0014] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the actual opening and closing operation of the assembled structure. [Example]

[0015] In just four easy steps, you can assemble the sheet into a three-dimensional clothespin. [Industrial Applicability]

[0016] The assembled clothespins are assumed to be used in a general way, but as another example, they can be stored in sheet form and then easily assembled to be used as clothespins, making them useful in emergencies such as camping or evacuation. Furthermore, while it is difficult to print original designs on ordinary clothespins made of resin or metal, this structure is in sheet form, making it easy to print on, and therefore it can be used as an advertising tool or a toy.

[0017] By utilizing the structure of this component and expanding its width or changing its length, it is possible to create sheet-like items that require a spring structure, such as clips or tongs. [Explanation of symbols]

[0018] The symbols in Figures 1 to 6 are explained below. 1a and 1b Main body side 2a and 2b cross supports 3a Spring part 3b and 3c Spring reinforcement parts

Claims

1. Clothespins and clips that can be assembled from a single sheet without using other materials or separate parts.

2. The connected spring part is stored inside the main body, allowing for repulsion.

3. The spring strength can be changed by changing the size and shape of the reinforcing parts of the spring.
