ABSTRACT:
A clip which is made from a band-like metal plate having spring characteristics, in which opening of the clip can be performed by a considerably weak force, in which setting is less even if sheets of paper having a stack thickness nearly equal to the maximum clipping thickness, and which comprises a body including a back portion formed at a longitudinal center portion of the band-like metal plate so as to have a length substantially corresponding to the maximum clipping thickness, and abutment portions formed adjacent to the back portion so that the respective free ends of the abutment portions form abutting edges which abut against each other for clipping sheets of paper; a pair of finger grips for opening the abutting edges of the abutment portions, the finger grips being attached to the abutment portions respectively in a manner so that each of the finger grips is formed into a U-shape and respective free ends of the U-shape of the finger grip are rotatably inserted into lock portions formed at each of the abutting edges of the abutment portions; at least three bent portions formed in the body for giving elastic forces to the abutment portions so as to make the abutting edges of the abutment portions elastically contact with each other; and an opening provided in a widthwise center portion of the back portion so that corner part of sheets of paper can be projected out of the opening, the opening being extended into the abutment portions.
