ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a clip, and more particularly to an improved clip mechanism.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIG. 1
, the conventional clip
10
is provided with two arms
11
, from the revolve arm spring
12
to clamp. However, since the forward clamping portion of arms
11
of the clip
10
is constructed integral with a small forward end
13
, it therefore causes the clip
10
to not clamp securely the outer surface of the article. Often, the clip
10
fails in clamping because the area of forward end
13
is small.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved clip mechanism wherein the forward end of the clip is provided each with a clip plate that can with stand the clamping force, so that the present invention achieves more security in clamping the particular article clamped between the arms.
The foregoing objective, features and functions of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
