Abstract

A clip includes two clamping pieces, a pivot shaft, and an elastic member. Each of the clamping pieces has a clamping portion, a pressing portion and a pivot seat. The pressing portion has a limit plate. The pivot seat has a limit slot and a shaft hole. The elastic member has two elastic legs each having a limit flange. Thus, each of the elastic legs is limited by the limit slot, and the limit flange is limited by the limit plate so that the clamping pieces and the elastic member are positioned exactly to prevent the clamping pieces from being vibrated and to prevent the elastic member from being detached from the clamping pieces. In addition, the elastic member is not subjected to a pressing force so that the elastic member will not produce an elastic fatigue.

Claims

1. A clip, comprising:

two clamping pieces pivotally connected with each other by a pivot shaft; and

an elastic member mounted between the two clamping pieces;

wherein each of the two clamping pieces has a first end provided with a clamping portion and a second end provided with a pressing portion;

the pressing portion of each of the two clamping pieces has an inner portion provided with a limit plate;

each of the two clamping pieces has a side provided with a pivot seat;

the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces has a first end formed with a limit slot and a second end formed with a shaft hole;

the pivot shaft in turn extends through the shaft hole of the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces so that the pivot seats of the two clamping pieces are pivotally connected with each other by the pivot shaft;

the elastic member has two opposite elastic legs each extended through and limited by the limit slot of the pivot seat of a respective one of the two clamping pieces;

each of the two elastic legs of the elastic member has a distal end provided with a limit flange abutting the limit plate of the pressing portion of the respective clamping piece.

2. The clip of claim 1, wherein the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is located at a middle position of each of the two clamping pieces.

3. The clip of claim 1, wherein the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is extended in a transverse direction of each of the two clamping pieces.

4. The clip of claim 3, wherein the shaft hole of the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is extended in the transverse direction of each of the two clamping pieces.

5. The clip of claim 1, wherein the shaft hole of the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is extended in an axial direction of the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces.

6. The clip of claim 1, wherein the limit slot of the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is received in each of the two clamping pieces.

7. The clip of claim 1, wherein the limit slot of the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is disposed between the clamping portion and the limit plate.

8. The clip of claim 1, wherein the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces is disposed between the clamping portion and the pressing portion.

9. The clip of claim 1, wherein the pivot seat of each of the two clamping pieces protrudes outwardly from each of the two clamping pieces.

10. The clip of claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a substantially inverted U-shaped elastic plate.

11. The clip of claim 1, wherein the pivot shaft has a distal end provided with a hanging hook.
