Elastic clip

Abstract

An elastic clip that can be fabricated and assembled easily includes a first clipping blade, a second clipping blade, a pin and an elastic reed. The first clipping blade and second clipping blade face each other, and have respectively a pair of lugs in the middle corresponding to each other. Each lug has a transverse notch and a pin hole at a tail end of the notch to be wedged in transversely by the pin to couple the first and second clipping blades. The pin serves as a movement axis. The elastic reed is disposed between the first and second clipping blades by pushing from a rear side. The elastic reed has a first side blade and a second side blade retained by the first and second clipping blades, and a curved portion in the middle to press and surround the pin. Thus assembly can be done quickly and labor cost can be reduced. It provides significant improvements over the conventional elastic clip.

1 . An elastic clip comprising a first clipping blade, a second clipping blade, a pin and an elastic reed, the first clipping blade and the second clipping blade facing each other, wherein:
 the first clipping blade has a first clipping portion at a front end, a first inner recess on an inner side of a rear side thereof and a pair of first lugs in a middle portion corresponding to each other; each first lug having a first transverse notch and a first pin hole at a tail end of the first transverse notch;   the second clipping blade has a second clipping portion at a front end thereof, a second inner recess on an inner side of a rear side thereof and a pair of second lugs in a middle portion thereof corresponding to each other; each second lug having a second transverse notch and a second pin hole at a tail end of the second transverse notch;   the pin is held in the first and second pin holes to function as a movement axis and a fulcrum; and   the elastic reed is a W-shaped blade and has a curved portion in a middle portion to press and surround the pin, and a first side blade and a second side blade at two sides to wedge in the inner recesses of the first and second clipping blades.   
   
   
       2 . The elastic clip of  claim 1 , wherein the blade of the elastic reed has at least one reinforced rib. 
   
   
       3 . The elastic clip of  claim 1 , wherein the first transverse notch and the first pin hole are joined at a first retaining spot which is extended slightly outwards. 
   
   
       4 . The elastic clip of  claim 1 , wherein the second transverse notch and the second pin hole are joined at a second retaining spot which is extended slightly outwards.
