  • Patent number: 6394291
    Abstract: In a device for the pivotable mounting of information carriers (2) provided with pivot pins, provision is to be made for the respectively outer information carriers (2) to assume a certain end position, i.e., in particular, they do not swing rearward. In order to achieve this aim with simple means, it is proposed to provide at least one of two retaining webs (5, 6) with end stops formed by punched tongues (24, 25), which retaining webs (5, 6) are provided with holes (18) for accommodating the pivot pins of a multiplicity of information carriers (2), are designed as sheet-metal punched parts and are connected to one another via a back part (4).

  • Patent number: 5384935
    Abstract: In a clip device having two clip legs (1,2) connected via a spine (3), one (1) of the two clip legs (1,2) consists of two sections (1a, 1b) which are connected together via a joint (4). The section (1a), facing the spine (3), of the one clip leg (1) is connected via a further joint (5) to the spine (3) and, via an elastic web forming a spring (6), to the other clip leg (2). In order to receive an article to be clipped (7) the section (1b), facing away from the spine (3), of the one clip leg (1) is first folded upwards in the manner of a pivot lever and, after introduction of the article to be clipped (7) between the clip legs (1,2), folded back into its starting position in which it presses the article to be clipped against the clip leg (2) without joint by means of a clip strut (8) assuming an engagement position.
