ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a paper clipping device which is used to clip or fix a memo, a receipt, a name card or the like.
Some of the conventional paper clips employ a magnet to clamp papers by attraction. Alternatively, some of the conventional paper clips are iron-made. The iron clip is made of a panel which is symmetrically bent and formed with two wall sections. Two free ends of the wall sections normally contact with each other. Two lever rods are mounted on the wall sections. The lever rods are compressible to forcedly separate the wall sections from each other for clipping the paper.
When clipping the paper, the wall sections of the iron clip define a clearance therebetween for receiving a front part of the paper. Such iron clip generally has no magnetic attraction.
The above conventional paper clipping devices both can hardly rested on a plane face and directly used. Also, the above conventional paper clipping devices lack decorative effect.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a paper clipping device including a casing and a trigger member. The casing is designed with a configuration of an animal and formed with an internal chamber in which the trigger member is pivotally disposed via a pin member. One end of the trigger member is formed with a press bar section rearward extending out of the casing and the other end of the trigger member is formed with a toothed section protruding from a mouth section of the casing. A spring is installed between the wall of the chamber and the trigger member, whereby in a natural state, the trigger member is forcedly positioned on one side wall of the chamber to bite and clip a paper. When a user presses the press bar section of the trigger member, the spring is compressed and the toothed section is deflected to release the paper. The paper clipping device can be rested on a plane face to achieve a decorative effect.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
