ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a clip for a pen, and more specifically to the mounting arrangement of a clip on a pen, which is provided with an ornamental plate, and does not deform easily when bent.
The clips of conventional pens are commonly made having a narrow, elongated profile with a trade name or logo marked thereon. Due to limited area, the trade name or logo is not prominent. There is known a pen clip welded with a broad plate for the bonding of an ornamental or advertising plate. The welding of the broad plate destroys the sense of beauty of the clip, and hinders the user in holding the pen in a particular position.
FIGS. 6 and 7

1
, two clamping plates A
2
, a spring A
3
connected between the clamping plates A at one end, an ornament A
5
fastened to one clamping plate A
2
and the mounting base A
1
, and a fastener, for example, elastic band A
4
provided at the mounting base A
1
for securing the clip to the clip of a pen. This design of clip may not fit the design of the pen in color, material, or shape. Further, the elastic band A
4
cannot secure the clip A to the clip of the pen firmly. When stretched, the clip A tends to be disconnected from the pen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a pen clip mounting arrangement, which eliminates the aforesaid drawbacks. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pen clip mounting arrangement comprises a penholder having two locating holes, a clip fastened to the penholder, the clip having two hooked portions extended from an ornamental plate thereof at two opposite sides and respectively hooked in the locating holes on the penholder, and a packing plate inserted into the penholder and retained between the hooked portions of the clip and the inside wall of the penholder to secure the clip in place. The ornamental plate may be provided with a particular design, or mounted with a badge.
