Tie clip

Abstract

A tie clip comprises a body ( 11 ) and an elastic tab ( 12 ) facing a face ( 16 ) of the body ( 11 ) and having a first end ( 13 ) constrained to said body ( 11 ) and a second free end ( 15 ). The tab ( 12 ) is provided with a first elastic thrust component (A) directed towards the body ( 11 ). A further elastic element ( 18 ) is constrained to the body ( 11 ) at its face ( 16 ) and is provided with a second elastic thrust component (B) directed towards the tab ( 12 ).

1 . A tie clip comprising a body and an elastic tab facing a face of the body and having a first end constrained to said body and a second free end, said tab being provided with a first elastic thrust component directed towards the body, characterised in that a further elastic element is constrained to the body at said face of the body, said further elastic element being provided with a second elastic thrust component directed towards the tab. 
     
     
         2 . The tie clip according to  claim 1 , characterised in that said further elastic element is an elastic bridge which extends in a longitudinal direction with respect to the body, with a first end fixedly connected to the body and a second end slidingly constrained to the body. 
     
     
         3 . The tie clip according to  claim 2 , characterised in that said second end is slidingly inserted in a transversal slot on the body. 
     
     
         4 . The tie clip according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the tab is provided at its centre with a longitudinal opening intended to allow the insertion thereinto of a portion of said further elastic element. 
     
     
         5 . The tie clip according to  claim 4 , characterised in that the longitudinal opening of the tab has a width slightly greater than the width of said portion of the further elastic element. 
     
     
         6 . The tie clip according to  claim 2 , characterised in that a portion of said further elastic element, intermediate between its ends, is shaped according to an undulate profile with rounded crests. 
     
     
         7 . The tie clip according to  claim 6 , characterised in that the tab is provided at its centre with a longitudinal opening intended to allow the insertion thereinto of a portion of said further elastic element and in that the rounded crests are provided on the portion of said further elastic element which can be inserted in the longitudinal opening of the tab. 
     
     
         8 . The tie clip according to  claim 4 , characterised in that the tab has an intermediate portion that is closer to said face of the body than its first constrained end, the longitudinal opening being provided at least in said intermediate portion. 
     
     
         9 . The tie clip according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the second free end of the tab is orientated away from said face of the body. 
     
     
         10 . The tie clip according to  claim 3 , characterised in that the elastic tab and the further elastic element are mobile, against the respective elastic thrust components, in such a way that the tab rotates around its first end constrained to the body and the further elastic element approaches perpendicularly to said body, said approaching being allowed by simultaneous sliding of its second end in the transversal slot provided onto the body.
