Abstract:
A clip for grasping one or more paper sheets, the clip freely, pivotally suspended on a generally horizontal member attached to a base attached to a vertical surface, comprising:a loop positioned about the horizontal member; a front member descending from the loop having: a first front downward extension; a front resilient body section, the front resilient body section being bowed frontwardly, the body section having a notch; and a second front downward extension having a substantially planar front surface; a rear member descending from the loop having: a first rear downward extension, substantially opposite the front member first downward extension; a rear resilient body section, the rear resilient body section being bowed rearwardly, the rear risiliant body section having a notch, the rear risilient body section and notch being substantially opposite the front member body section and notch, respectively; and a second rear downward extension having a substantially planar rear surface, the second rear downward extension and surface being substantially opposite the front member second downward extension and surface, respectively; the front member body section notch being mateable with the rear member body section notch such that the front and rear member body sections bias the front member second downward extension front surface against the rear member second downward extension rear surface, the body sections' notches being sized to allow each of the body sections to be squeezably displaced toward the other body section such that the second downward extensions' front and rear surfaces separate, the front and rear surfaces being forced together when the body sections are no longer squeezed.
