Patent ID: 8262678

Claim:
A clip package for containing a clip device for use with a clip application apparatus and for loading said clip application apparatus with said clip device, comprising: a clip assembly, including said clip device, and a fastening mechanism, disposed at a proximal end of said clip device, for fastening to a shaft head of an operating wire inserted through a flexible sheath of said clip application apparatus; a coupling device, including a casing for containing said clip assembly in a manner movable from said fastening mechanism toward said flexible sheath, and a guide mechanism for pressing at least one of said fastening mechanism and said shaft head toward a remaining one thereof, for fastening thereof, said fastening mechanism emerging from said casing, said shaft head being overlapped on said fastening mechanism in an axial direction of said clip assembly; wherein said guide mechanism is slidable in a sliding direction transverse to said axial direction of said clip assembly, and includes a shifting wall for pressing said at least one of said shaft head and said fastening mechanism upon sliding, and said shifting wall is so inclined as to increase shift of said at least one of said shaft head and said fastening mechanism gradually upon sliding said guide mechanism; wherein said shifting wall includes a first inclined surface for initially contacting said at least one of said fastening mechanism and said shaft head upon sliding of said guide mechanism, and a second inclined surface for contacting said at least one of said fastening mechanism and said shaft head after contact of said first inclined surface, and an angle of an inclination of said first inclined surface is smaller than an angle of an inclination of said second inclined surface as viewed in said sliding direction of said guide mechanism.
