FLAT ARTICLES HOLDING CLAMP Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: holders and clips. SUBSTANCE: clamp is designed for holding flat items, for instance, paper sheets. It has support part with fixed clamping catch. Clamping lip is fitted in guide slot of support part for displacement is direction of closing and in opposite direction. With clamping lip shifted from open position to closing position clamping grip moves trajectory of motion to contact with camping catch or with item in contact with catch. At further displacement in direction of closing, clamping grip is forced backwards from trajectory of motion, thus forming acute angle with clamping catch thanks to which clamping force for holding the item is created owing to resilience of clamping lip. EFFECT: possibility of holding items at minimum space with preservation of individuality of items. 8 cl, 12 dwg
