  • Such journal may also be tapered or only the top portion thereof may be slightly tapered.
  • one of the bearing portions 15 may be formed as shown in FIG. 3 and/or FIG. 7 (i.e., the guiding face may or may not extend up to the bore as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 3 respectively, and the bore may be or may not be the penetrating type as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 respectively).
  • the journal 19 has such a construction as shown in FIG. 7 (this journal may alternatively be formed in the shape as shown in FIG. 5).
  • the other bearing portions 15 may have only the bore 16 and may not have the guiding face 17 while the journal 19 may be formed without a guiding face.
  • the clip according to the present invention is assembled as will now be described.
  • each of journals 19 of molded clip member A is fitted into a corresponding bearing portion 15 of a clip member B, particularly into a bore 16 of the bearing portion 15.
  • a rear portion 6 of the clip member A is inserted into a bore 7 of a closing member 3.
  • a torsion coil spring 13 is mounted between the clip members A and B, particularly between journal bases 18, 18 of the clip member A simultaneously as the clip members A and B are joined together by means of a joining device which is used for joining the members A and B together.
  • One of the extended portions of the spring 13 is received in a narrow groove 20 of the clip member A, while the other extended portion of the spring 13 is received in a narrow groove 12 of the clip member B.
  • the spring 13 may be pushed into the connecting portion of the members A and B, particularly between the journal bases l8, 18 from the free ends of the members A and B after said members are joined together, and then one of the extended portions of the spring 13 is placed into the narrow groove 20 and the other extended portion is placed into the narrow groove 12.
  • both clip members can be joined together mainly by fitting each of the journals 19 into each of the bores 16, there is no need to arrange bores of both clip members in alignment with a passage of a spring in order to pass therethrough a shaft as in a conventional type clip.

  • Said connecting slit 5 may be formed off the center portion of the bore 4 so that said one end of the pair of suspenders or braces can not only be easily inserted into the connecting bore 4 but also be prevented from slipping off the bore 4.
  • This clip can also be used for fastening one end of a band to the other end of the same by securing one end to the connecting bore 4 of the clip and holding the other end with the clipping ends of the clip.
  • the clip according to the present invention can also be used as laundry clips, paper clips and others as will now be expalined.
