Abstract: A first support element and a second support element are arranged opposite to each other. A connection element is arranged so as to connect one ends of the first and second support element to each other therethrough, so that the first support element, second support element and connection element cooperate together to form a substantially U-shape in section. A press element is formed at a free end of the second support element in a manner to be extended from the free end through a hinge groove. The press element is inwardly bent at the hinge groove to abut at a distal end thereof against an inner surface of the first support element, so that papers or the like are inserted between the first support element and the press element, resulting in the papers or the like being firmly interposedly held by the clip.

Abstract: A binding apparatus capable of facilitating reliable tightening of a binding belt without directly touching the binding belt. The apparatus includes a body provided therein with a belt passage and a fastener passage. The belt passage functions to guide therethrough a continuous binding belt formed on one side surface thereof with asperities in a rack-like manner. Fasteners guided in the fastener passage are each provided with holding pawls engageable with the asperities of the binding belt. The belt passage is formed with an opening through which the binding belt is exposed. A tightening lever is pivotally mounted on the body and includes a gear portion releasably engaged with the asperities of the binding belt exposed from the opening of the belt passage. A cutter cuts the binding belt while a foremost one of the fasteners holds a distal end of a portion of the binding belt wound around an article on one of the holding pawls of the fastener to bind the article with the portion of the binding belt.

Abstract: An apparatus for binding electric cables, etc. containing a series of prolonged binding bands wound round an object to be bound, like electric cables, etc., in a loop fashion, formed with a plurality of convex-like gears in a rack fashion on a surface of the binding band; a stopper having an opening portion through which the binding band is inserted with respective back faces overlapping; a pair of pawl members concurrently projected from opposing walls inside the opening portion, the pawl members engaged with the convex-like gears of the binding band; parallel ribs protrusively formed on both sides of an opening end of the opening portion of the stopper, the opening end facing toward the top, unattached end of the pawl member; and a space formed so that a cutter for cutting a protruding portion of the binding band may pass through between the ribs.
