Description
Claims (8)
- Clamping device for paper and other sheet-like articles, hence termed clip (10), comprising at least three fastening elements (12, 14) with a gap between and joined to a holding element (16), in which all elements are formed from an even flat sheet with all fastening elements directed essentially in the same direction and lying principally in the same plane, in that, when the clip is slipped over a paper edge, at least two fastening elements (12) can be placed on one side of the paper and the intermediate fastening element (14) can be placed on the other side of the paper until the edge of the paper lies close to the holding element (16), characterized in that the clip comprises a number of layers of wood (24) joined to one another, that the fibre direction (F) of at least one layer is principally perpendicular to the edge of the paper when the clip is affixed, that the fibre direction of at least one other layer is at an angle in relation to the preceding layer, in that the layers are chosen such that the clip has greater flexural rigidity in a plane (P2) perpendicular to the edge of the paper and perpendicular to the paper than in a plane (P1) along the edge of the paper and perpendicular to the paper.
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the fibre directions (F) of the different layers (24) are essentially perpendicular to one another.
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that there is an odd number of layers (24) and that the fibre directions (F) of the smaller number of layers (24) mainly coincide with the edge of the paper when the clip (10) is affixed.
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the layers (24) are chosen such that they are of varying thickness and that the fibre direction (F) of the thinner layers (24) mainly coincides with the edge of the paper when the clip (10) is affixed.
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the layers (24) have different types of wood of varying flexural rigidity and that the fibre directions (F) of the layers (24) with lower flexural rigidity mainly coincide with the edge of the paper when the clip (10) is affixed.
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the number of the fastening elements (12, 14) is three and that spaces (20) are arranged between the outer (12) and the central fastening element (14) to create space for a bundle of paper (22).
- Device according to claim 6, characterized in that the outer fastening elements (12) arc longer than the central fastening element (14) and are connected to one another
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that, when the clip (10) is designed as a triangle, the fibre directions (F) of at least two layers (24) mainly coincide with the outer edges of the outer fastening elements (12).
