[0030] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0031] Fig. 1A shows an example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. Fig. 1A(a) shows a development view of a clip pad 100 attached to a clip X that holds an object (e.g., paper), and Fig. 1A(b) shows a front view, a side view, and a plan view of the clip pad 100 in a superimposed state. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1A, the clip pad 100 includes a pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 (i.e., sheet-like main body part 110a and sheet-like main body part 110b) that receive stress from the clip X.

[0032] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b each have a substantially rectangular shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b each have any shape as long as they can receive stress from the clip X. For example, the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b each may have a substantially circular shape (including an elliptical shape) or a polygonal shape (such as a triangular or rectangular shape). In addition, the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a may have the same shape and / or the same size as the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b as shown in FIG. 1A, or may have a different size or shape from the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b. The clip pad of the present invention can be formed from a single sheet and can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

[0033] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1A, the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b have the same shape, which is a substantially rectangular shape, but the longitudinal length of the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a is designed to be shorter than the longitudinal length of the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b. In this way, it is possible to easily insert an object (e.g., paper) to be clamped by the clip X into the clip pad 100 (i.e., between the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b). In other embodiments, the longitudinal length of the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a may be designed to be longer than the longitudinal length of the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b, or may be designed to be the same as the longitudinal length of the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b.

[0034] The material of the pair of sheet-like main bodies 110 may be any material as long as it has sufficient strength to withstand the stress from the clip X. The pair of sheet-like main bodies 110 are preferably made of paper (including synthetic paper) because they are easy and inexpensive to manufacture, but may be made of plastic (resin) for reasons of durability, etc. Also, the pair of sheet-like main bodies 110 may be made of paper whose surface is coated with resin or the like (for example, laminated).

[0035] The sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b are extended from each other via the extension portion 120. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b are formed of one member (i.e., made from one member so as to include both the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b), and are configured substantially symmetrically with the extension portion 120 as a boundary. Alternatively, the sheet-shaped main body portion 110a and the sheet-shaped main body portion 110b may each be formed of a separate member and connected to each other via the extension portion 120.

[0036] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the sheet-like main body portion 110b each have an opening 130 (130a, 130b) for passing the clip X between the extension portion 120 and the longitudinal end portion 111 (111a, 111b). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the opening 130a of the sheet-like main body portion 110a is provided at a position where it overlaps with the opening 130b of the sheet-like main body portion 110b when the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 are overlapped with each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the opening 130a of the sheet-like main body portion 110a may be provided at a position offset so as not to overlap with the opening 130b of the sheet-like main body portion 110b when the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 are overlapped with each other, as will be described in more detail later. In this way, by shifting the positions of the openings 130a and 130b, when the clip is inserted, the axial positions of the clip fixed by the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the sheet-like main body portion 110b become different, so that it is possible to prevent the clip from moving left and right. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the opening 130a of the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the opening 130b of the sheet-like main body portion 110b both have an elliptical shape. In addition, the size of the opening 130a of the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the opening 130b of the sheet-like main body portion 110b may be the same size or different sizes. For example, by increasing the size of the opening on the side where the clip X is inserted, it is possible to easily insert the clip X. As will be described in more detail later, the opening 130 of the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the opening 130 of the sheet-like main body portion 110b may have the same shape or different shapes. Furthermore, as will be described in more detail later, the opening 130a of the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the opening 130b of the sheet-like main body portion 110b may have a shape other than an ellipse (such as a slit) as long as the clip X can be passed through them.

[0037] The clip pad 100 further includes at least one extension portion extending from the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the clip pad 100 further includes an extension portion 140a extending from the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 (more specifically, the sheet-like main body portion 110a). A user can print and / or write illustrations and / or text on the extension portion 140a, and thus the extension portion 140a can be used as a memo pad or a guide board (advertising or promotion) / sign. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the extension portion 140a extends from an edge portion between the extension portion 120 and the opening 130a. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the extension portion 140a may extend from an edge portion between the opening 130a and the longitudinal end portion 111a.

[0038] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, the extension portion 140a has a substantially rectangular shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The shape of the extension portion 140a may be, for example, a substantially circular shape (including an elliptical shape) or a polygonal shape (such as a triangular shape, a rectangular shape, or a pentagonal shape). The material of the extension portion 140a may be the same as the material of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110. The extension portion 140a may be formed from the same single sheet as the sheet-like main body portions 110 (110a and / or 110b). The extension portion 140a is preferably made of paper (including synthetic paper) in that it can be easily and inexpensively manufactured, but may also be made of plastic (resin). In addition, the surface of the paper may be coated with resin or the like (for example, laminated). Alternatively, the extension portion 140a may be made of a material different from the material of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110.

[0039] Fig. 1B shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention, in which a front view, a side view, and a plan view of another example of the clip pad 100 are shown.

[0040] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the clip pad 100 includes a bonding portion 150 in which a pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 are bonded to each other. In FIG. 1B, the region / area of ​​the bonding portion 150 is also indicated by using diagonal lines. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the bonding portion 150 is provided from the extension portion 120 of the clip pad 100 to the periphery of the opening 130. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The opening 130 may be provided so as to be included inside (inside) the bonding portion 150, may be provided so as to cross the boundary line of the bonding portion 150, or may be provided so as to be located outside (outside) the bonding portion 150. By providing such a bonding portion 150, it is possible to increase the strength of the clip pad 100. The bonding portion 150 is not provided in the entire region between the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111 of the pair of sheet-like main bodies 110, and the pair of sheet-like main bodies 110 has a portion that is not the bonding portion 150 at least a predetermined distance from the longitudinal end 111. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111 of the pair of sheet-like main bodies 110 are not bonded to each other, so that when the clip X is not attached, the clip pad 100 can be deployed as shown by the broken line in the side view of the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 2B. Since the bonding portion 150 is not provided in the region between the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111, it is possible to insert paper or the like to be clamped into the clip pad 100.

[0041] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the clip pad 100 includes a pair of extensions 140 (i.e., an extension 140a extending from the sheet-like main body 110a and an extension 140b extending from the sheet-like main body 110b) extending from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the pair of extensions 140 are not attached to each other. This allows the pair of extensions 140 to be unfolded as shown by the dashed lines in the plan view of the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1B, and the user can use both sides of the extensions 140a and 140b as a memo pad or a guide board (advertising or promotion) / sign. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1B, the pair of extensions 140 extend from the edge between the extension 120 and the opening 130.

[0042] FIG. 1C shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention.

[0043] In Fig. 1C, the region / area of ​​the bonding portion 150 is also indicated by diagonal lines. The pair of extension portions 140 of the clip pad 100 may not be bonded to each other as shown in Fig. 1B, or may be bonded to each other as shown in Fig. 1C. In this case, both sides of the extension portion 140a and the extension portion 140b can be used as a memo pad or a guide board (advertising or promotion) / sign.

[0044] FIG. 1D shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention.

[0045] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1D, the clip pad 100 includes a pair of extensions 140' extending from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 (i.e., an extension 140a' extending from the sheet-like main body part 110a and an extension 140b' extending from the sheet-like main body part 110b) in addition to the pair of extensions 140 as shown in FIG. 1B. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1D, the pair of extensions 140' extend from the opposing edges between the extensions 120 and the opening 130. In FIG. 1D, the region / range of the bonding portion 150 is also shown using diagonal lines. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1D, the bonding portion 150 is provided between the extensions 120 of the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 and the periphery of the opening 130, and across the pair of extensions 140', and the pair of extensions 140 are not bonded to each other. In this way, the clip pad 100 may have a combination of a pair of extension portions 140 that are not attached to each other and a pair of extension portions 140' that are attached to each other, depending on differences in the uses of the extension portions, etc.

[0046] Fig. 1E shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1E is a modified example of the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1D.

[0047] The clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1E has a similar configuration to the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1D, except for the positions of the pair of extensions 140 and the pair of extensions 140'. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1E, the pair of extensions 140 of the clip pad 100 extend from the edge between the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111 of the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 of the clip pad 100, and the pair of extensions 140' of the clip pad 100 extend from the opposing edge between the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111 of the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 of the clip pad 100. The pair of extensions 140 extending from the edge between the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111, and the pair of extensions 140' extending from the opposing edge between the opening 130 and the longitudinal end 111 are not attached to each other. In this way, since there is no bonding portion 150 in the area from the opening 130 to the longitudinal ends 111 (111a, 111b), it is possible to insert paper or other items to be clamped into the clip pad 100.

[0048] Fig. 1F shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1F is a modified example of the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1C.

[0049] The clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1F has a similar configuration to the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1C, except for the position of the extension portion. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1F, the extension portion 140" of the clip pad 100 extends from the extension portion 120 of the clip pad 100. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1F, the widthwise length of the bonded extension portion 140" is sized to be longer than the widthwise length of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110.

[0050] Fig. 1G shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1G is a modified example of the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1F.

[0051] The clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1G has a similar configuration to the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1F, except for the aspect of the extension part. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1G, the extension part 140″ extending from the extension part 120 of the clip pad 100 includes a hooking mechanism 160 for hooking the clip pad 100 to a protrusion (not shown) or a rod-shaped member (not shown). The shape of the extension part 140″ may be any shape as long as the clip pad 100 can be hooked to a protrusion (not shown) or a rod-shaped member (not shown). As an example of the shape of the hooking mechanism 160, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1G(a), the hooking mechanism 160 is a hole 161 that allows the hooking mechanism to be hooked to a protrusion, a hook, or the like. As another example of the shape of the hooking mechanism 160, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1G(b), the hooking mechanism 160 is a hook-shaped member 162 that allows the hooking mechanism to be hooked to a rod-shaped member, or the like. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the hook mechanism 160 may be T-shaped.

[0052] Fig. 1H shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1H is a modified example of the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1F.

[0053] The clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1H has a similar configuration to the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1F, except for the aspect of the extension part. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1H, the extension part 140″ extending from the extension part 120 of the clip pad 100 has a pair of sheet-like main body parts 110′ (i.e., sheet-like main body part 110a′ and sheet-like main body part 110b′) that receives stress from the clip Y. The pair of sheet-like main body parts 110′ has an opening 130′ for passing the clip Y. The unfolding direction of the sheet-like main body part 110a′ relative to the sheet-like main body part 110b′ is opposite to the unfolding direction of the sheet-like main body part 110a relative to the sheet-like main body part 110b. The pair of sheet-like main body parts 110′ shown in FIG. 1H has a similar configuration to the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 shown in FIG. 1A, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0054] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1H, the clip pad 100 includes a bonding portion 150 extending from the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 to the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110'.

[0057] As in the embodiment shown in Figure 1H, the openings 130 of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110, the openings of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110L1, and the openings of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110L2 may all be located inside the bonding portion 150, may be located across the boundary line of the bonding portion 150, or may be located outside the bonding portion 150.

[0058] Fig. 1J shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1J is a modified example of the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1F.

[0059] The clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1J has the same configuration as the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1F, except for the aspect of the extension part. In FIG. 1J, the region / area of ​​the bonding part 150 is also indicated by using diagonal lines. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1J, the extension part 140″ extending from the extension part 120 of the clip pad 100 is a pair of sheet-like main body parts 110P1 that receive stress from the clip Y and a pair of sheet-like main body parts 110P2 that receive stress from the clip Z, and the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110P1 and the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110P2 are extended from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 so that the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110, the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110P1, and the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110P2 are arranged in parallel with each other.

[0060] As in the embodiment shown in Figure 1H, the openings 130 of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110, the openings of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P1, and the openings of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P2 may all be located inside the bonding portion 150, may be located across the boundary line of the bonding portion 150, or may be located outside the bonding portion 150.

[0061] FIG. 1K shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1K, the extension 140 of the clip pad 100 (for example, between the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 and the extension 140) has a slit or perforation 170 formed so as to be able to be folded and / or separated, as shown in FIG. 1K(a) to FIG. 1K(f). This allows the extension 140 to be folded so as to be approximately perpendicular to the object, as shown in FIG. 1K(a) to FIG. 1K(b), so that the content presented in the extension 140 can be easily viewed. In addition, thanks to the slit or perforation 170, the extension 140 can be more easily torn off from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110, and thus the extension 140 that is no longer in use can be easily disposed of.

[0062] In addition, as shown in Figures 1K(e) to 1K(f), the slits or perforations 170 may be provided in each of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110L1 and the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110L2, or in each of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P1 and the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P2, or between the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 and the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P1, or between the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P1 and the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110P2.

[0063] Fig. 2A shows an example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2A, the clip pad 200 attached to a clip that clamps an object includes a pair of sheet-like main body parts 210 (i.e., sheet-like main body parts 210a and 210b) that receive stress from the clip X, and at least one displacement limiting member 220 for limiting the displacement of the clip X. The pair of sheet-like main body parts 210 have a similar configuration to the pair of sheet-like main body parts 110 described with reference to Fig. 1A, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0064] The displacement limiting member 220 includes a space portion 230 configured to cover the openings of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 210 and the clip X. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2A, the displacement limiting member 220 is attached to the pair of sheet-like main body portions 210 (more specifically, to the openings of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 210 and around the clip X) so as to limit the displacement of the clip X, except for the space portion 230. This allows the clip X to move freely only within the space portion 230, restricts the rotation and displacement of the clip X, and prevents the clip X from coming off the object.

[0065] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, a first displacement limiting member 220 is provided on the sheet-shaped main body portion 210a, and a second displacement limiting member 220 is provided on the sheet-shaped main body portion 210b. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, two displacement limiting members 220 are shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the displacement limiting member 220 may be provided only on either the sheet-shaped main body portion 210a or the sheet-shaped main body portion 210b, as long as it is possible to limit the displacement of the clip X. In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, the displacement limiting member 220 is attached only to the openings of the pair of sheet-shaped main body portions 210 and the periphery of the clip X on the pair of sheet-shaped main body portions 210, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the displacement limiting member 220 may be attached to the entire surface of the pair of sheet-shaped main body portions 210 on the pair of sheet-shaped main body portions 210, as long as it has a space portion 230.

[0066] FIG. 2B shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2B, the displacement limiting member 220 of the clip pad 200 has a hole 240 for attaching and detaching the clip X from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 210 in a state in which the displacement limiting member 220 is attached to the pair of sheet-like main body parts 210. This allows the user to attach and detach the clip X from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 210 at a desired timing even after the displacement limiting member 220 is attached to the pair of sheet-like main body parts 210. Preferably, the hole 240 is larger than the opening of the sheet-like main body part. This makes it easier to attach and detach the clip X from the pair of sheet-like main body parts 210.

[0067] In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1A to 1K and 2A to 2B, the longitudinal end portions 111 of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 of the clip pad 100 and the longitudinal end portions of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 210 of the clip pad 200 have an end shape cut horizontally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Fig. 3 shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The longitudinal end portions 111 of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 110 of the clip pad 100 may be configured to form an approximately V-shape when the sheet-like main body portion 110a and the sheet-like main body portion 110b are overlapped as shown in Fig. 3. The longitudinal end portions of the pair of sheet-like main body portions 210 of the clip pad 200 may also be configured to form an approximately V-shape when the pair of sheet-like main body portions 210 are overlapped, similar to the configuration shown in Fig. 3. Although an approximately V-shape is described in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, as long as both ends of the sheet-like main body parts protrude to form a recess (valley portion) when a pair of sheet-like main body parts are overlapped to make it easier to insert an object to be sandwiched (paper, etc.), the shape may be any shape, for example an approximately U-shape or an approximately C-shape.

[0068] FIG. 4A shows an example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, the clip pad 400 attached to the clip for clamping an object includes a first sheet 410 having a plurality of first openings arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of second sheets 420 whose longitudinal length is shorter than that of the first sheet 410. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, the plurality of second sheets 420 are three second sheets 4201, 4202, and 4203. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, the clip pad 400 has a triple clip pad configuration in which three pairs of sheet-like main body parts 110 are connected together as shown in FIG. 1B to FIG. 1E.

[0069] Each of the plurality of second sheets 420 also has a second opening corresponding to each of the plurality of first openings. The plurality of first openings of the first sheet 410 and the second openings of each of the plurality of second sheets 420 are for passing a clip through. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4A, the plurality of first openings of the first sheet 410 and the second openings of each of the plurality of second sheets 420 are provided at positions where they overlap each other when the first sheet 410 and the second sheet 420 are overlapped.

[0070] At least a portion of each of the multiple second sheets 420 is attached to the first sheet 410. In Fig. 2A, the area / range of the attachment portion between the first sheet 410 and the second sheet 420 is indicated by using diagonal lines. The multiple first openings of the first sheet 410 and the second openings of each of the multiple second sheets 420 may be provided inside the attachment portion, may be provided so as to cross the boundary line of the attachment portion, or may be provided outside the attachment portion.

[0071] Fig. 4B shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4B, the clip pad 400 further includes an extension 430 extending from the first sheet 410 and one of the second sheets 420 (more specifically, the second sheet 4203).

[0072] The extension portion 430 shown in FIG. 4B has a similar configuration to the extension portion (e.g., extension portion 140, extension portion 140") described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 2B, and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4B, the extension portion 430 includes a hooking mechanism for hooking the clip pad 400 onto a protrusion (not shown) or a rod-shaped member (not shown), etc. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4B, the hooking mechanism is a hole that allows hooking onto a protrusion, a hook, etc., but in other embodiments, the hooking mechanism may be a hook-shaped member that allows hooking onto a rod-shaped member, etc., or may be T-shaped, etc.

[0073] Fig. 4C shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4C, the clip pad 400 has slits or perforations 440 formed at predetermined intervals (for example, at the same intervals as the intervals between the first openings) between the first openings on the first sheet 410, which allows folding and / or tearing. This allows the user to easily tear off parts of the clip pad 400 along the slits or perforations 440. Also, the torn off parts of the clip pad 400 can be used as a clip pad by itself.

[0074] 4C, the clip pad 400 has a slit or perforation 440 formed between the extension 430 and one of the first sheet 410 and the plurality of second sheets 420 (more specifically, the second sheet 4203) to allow folding and / or tearing, thereby allowing a user to more easily tear the extension 430 from the clip pad 400.

[0075] 4A to 4C, a triple clip pad 400 configured such that three pairs of sheet-like main body parts 110 are connected together has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A double or more clip pad configured such that two or more pairs of sheet-like main body parts 110 are connected together is also within the scope of the present invention.

[0076] In the embodiment described with reference to Figs. 1A to 4C, an example was described in which the openings of the sheet-like main body portion 110 (or the openings of the first sheet 410 and the multiple second sheets 420) are provided at positions where they overlap each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. Fig. 5 shows another example of the structure of the clip pad of the present invention. The clip pad 500 shown in Fig. 5 is a modified example of the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1B. Fig. 5(a) shows a front view and a cross-sectional view of the clip pad 500, and Fig. 5(b) shows that the displacement of the clip X is restricted in the clip pad 500.

[0077] The clip pad 500 shown in FIG. 5 has the same configuration as the clip pad 100 shown in FIG. 1B except for the aspect of the opening, so detailed description thereof will be omitted here. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the clip pad 500 for clamping an object (e.g., paper) includes a pair of sheet-like main body parts 510 (i.e., sheet-like main body parts 510a and 510b) that receive stress from the clip X. The sheet-like main body part 510a has an opening 520a for passing the clip X, and the sheet-like main body part 510b has an opening 520b for passing the clip X. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the opening 520a on the sheet-like main body part 510a and the opening 520b on the sheet-like main body part 510b are provided at a distance from each other along the longitudinal axis of the clip pad 500 so that the pair of sheet-like main body parts 510 do not overlap each other when overlapped. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5(b), the opening 520b of the sheet-like main body 510b limits the displacement of the clip X, making it possible to prevent the clip X from coming off the object.

[0078] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the opening 520a on the sheet-like main body portion 510a and the opening 520b on the sheet-like main body portion 510b both have an elliptical shape. The opening 520a on the sheet-like main body portion 510a and the opening 520b on the sheet-like main body portion 510b may have the same shape or different shapes. Furthermore, the opening 520a on the sheet-like main body portion 510a and the opening 520b on the sheet-like main body portion 510b may have a shape other than an elliptical shape (for example, a horizontal slit, a V-shaped slit, a U-shaped slit) as long as the clip X can pass through them. An example of a combination of the shapes of the opening 520a on the sheet-like main body portion 510a and the opening 520b on the sheet-like main body portion 510b is shown below. [ka]

[0079] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, the feature of the positional deviation of the opening along the longitudinal axis has been described based on the clip pad 100 shown in Fig. 1B, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
