[Figure 11] A six-view drawing showing a plate-shaped clip of the 11th embodiment. [Figure 12] A diagram showing the usage state of the plate-shaped clips according to the first to eleventh embodiments. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Hereinafter, the first to eleventh embodiments embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that only the major differences from the first embodiment will be described for the second to eleventh embodiments.

[0009] (First Embodiment) As shown in FIG. 1, the plate clip 1 is manufactured by punching out a press board having a thickness of, for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm by press working or cutting it out with a laser cutter or the like. The press board is manufactured from a fiber material such as wood fiber or synthetic fiber mixed with various additives.

[0010] The plate clip 1 has a first plate-like portion 11 serving as an outer frame, and a second plate-like portion 12 located inside the first plate-like portion 11 and elastically connected to the first plate-like member 11. The first plate-like portion 11 has a rectangular frame shape. The second plate-like portion 12 has an outer shape imitating an elbow-shaped pipe joint, which is a kind of pipe member for water supply and hot water supply. Note that a part of the portion imitating the pipe joint (the portion imitating the state where water jets out from the pipe joint) protrudes from the first plate-like member 11 (outer frame).

[0011] As shown in FIG. 12, the plate clip 1 can elastically hold an object between the first plate-like portion 11 and the second plate-like portion 12, and is particularly suitable for use when gathering several thin papers such as documents. In addition, since the outer shape of the second plate-like member 12 imitates a pipe joint, the plate clip 1 has excellent aesthetics. Also, since the outer shape is complicated and provides resistance, the performance of converging documents is also high.

[0012] (Second Embodiment) As shown in Figure 2, the plate-shaped clip 2 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate-shaped portion 12 has the product name "Revos" of the pipe fitting removed. Therefore, the removal of the product name "Revos" from the second plate-shaped portion 12 makes it even more interesting, and its more complex external shape further enhances its ability to hold documents together.

[0013] (Third embodiment) As shown in Figure 3, the plate-shaped clip 3 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate-shaped portion 12 has an outer shape that mimics a wall-penetrating joint, which is a type of piping member for water supply and hot water supply.

[0014] (Fourth Embodiment) As shown in Figure 4, the plate-shaped clip 4 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate-shaped portion 12 has an outer shape that mimics a header, which is a type of piping component for water supply and hot water supply.

[0015] (Fifth embodiment) As shown in Figure 5, the plate-shaped clip 5 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the first plate-shaped portion 11 has an outer shape that mimics a socket-shaped pipe fitting, which is a type of piping component for water supply and hot water supply. Furthermore, the second plate-shaped member 12 is simply a rectangular plate, which is another difference from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment.

[0016] (Sixth Embodiment) As shown in Figure 6, the plate clip 6 of this embodiment differs from the plate clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate portion 12 has an outer shape that mimics a corrugated pipe, which is a type of piping component used for water supply and hot water supply. Therefore, the outer shape of the second plate portion 11 reflects the complexity of the corrugated pipe's outer shape, and thus the plate clip 6 is more aesthetically pleasing and has an even higher ability to fasten documents (the ability to provide resistance to documents). Note that a part of the portion that mimics the corrugated pipe (the part of the pipe that protrudes from the corrugation) protrudes from the first plate member 11 (outer frame).

[0017] (Seventh Embodiment) As shown in Figure 7, the plate-shaped clip 7 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the first plate-shaped portion 11 has an outer shape that mimics the handle of a valve, which is a type of piping component for water supply and hot water supply. Furthermore, the second plate-shaped member 12 is rectangular in shape, and the company name (corporate logo mark (an "S" inside an oval)) is cut out from the second plate-shaped portion 12, which also distinguishes it from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment.

[0018] (Eighth embodiment) As shown in Figure 8, the plate-shaped clip 8 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate-shaped portion 11 has the company name (corporate logo mark ("S" inside an oval)) left intact.

[0019] (Ninth Embodiment) As shown in Figure 9, the plate-shaped clip 9 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the upper part of the first plate-shaped portion 11 is angular and the lower part is circular. It also differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the company name (corporate logo ("S" + "ONDA" inside an oval)) is cut out from the first plate-shaped portion 11. Furthermore, it differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate-shaped portion 12 is semicircular.

[0020] (Tenth embodiment) As shown in Figure 10, the plate-shaped clip 10 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the first plate-shaped portion 11 has an outer shape that mimics the handle of a valve, which is a type of piping component for water supply and hot water supply. Also, the second plate-shaped member 12 is simply a rectangular plate, which is another difference from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment.

[0021] (11th embodiment) As shown in Figure 11, the plate-shaped clip 21 of this embodiment differs from the plate-shaped clip 1 of the first embodiment in that the second plate-shaped portion 12 has an outer shape that mimics a nipple, which is a type of piping component for water supply and hot water supply.

[0022] (Another example) The above embodiment may be modified, for example, as follows. Both the first plate-shaped member 11 and the second plate-shaped member 12 shall have an external shape that mimics piping components such as pipe fittings and pipes.

[0023] ○ Remove the product name from the first plate-shaped member 11 (either remove it completely or leave it in place).

[0024] ○ Remove the product name from both the first plate-shaped member 11 and the second plate-shaped member 12 (either remove it completely or leave it in place).

[0025] ○In the plate-shaped clip 8 of the eighth embodiment described above, a portion of the second plate-shaped portion 12 that has had the company name removed is made to protrude from the first plate-shaped member 11 (outer frame).

[0026] ○ Change the plate-shaped material (pressboard in the above embodiment) used to punch out or cut out the plate-shaped clips 1-10, 21 to a plate made of synthetic resin or metal.

[0027] ○ Change the shape of the first plate-like member 11 (outer frame) to a triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, circular, or elliptical shape.

[0028] ○The first plate-like portion 11 may be formed by interrupting a part of the annular shape of the outer frame.

[0029] ○Form the detailed shapes of the plate-shaped clips 1-10 and 21, other than their outer shape (product name, company name, patterns mimicking piping components, etc.), by creating raised and recessed areas through pressing or engraving.

[0030] (Note) The technical concept that can be understood from the above embodiment is as follows: The plate-shaped clip according to claim 1, wherein the portion of the second plate-shaped member that imitates a piping member such as a pipe joint or pipe, and the portion from which the company name or product name is omitted, protrudes from the outer frame of the first plate-shaped member.
