ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a clip driver for binding documents or the like together by using a clip which is formed from a single elastic plate-like member and which is constituted by a bent portion and a pair of grasping portions continued from the bent portion, the grasping portions having extremities normally contacting with each other so as to grasp the documents or the like between the grasping portions. The clip driver comprises: a lower casing having an upper surface for mounting thereon a plurality of the clips; an upper casing fitted with the lower casing and having a clip insertion inlet formed at a rear end thereof for insertion of the clips; a knob for driving out the clip, the knob being longitudinally slidably and vertically movably mounted in a rectangular opening formed in the upper casing at a front end side thereof; and clip opening spring members provided in an insertion inlet formed between the lower and upper casings for opening the grasping portions of the clip in the directions opposite to each other. The knob is normally biased by an elastic member to a position at a rear end side of the clip driver and, at the same time, biased so that a push-out portion of the knob comes to a lifted position to thereby allow the clip to pass by the push-out portion thereunder.
