  • Publication number: 20210354497
    Abstract: The present invention provides an office clip having a high designability while having a sufficient gripping force. It is an office clip for pinching and binding paper, wherein a ring portion of elastic wire is spirally wound closely or at a predetermined pitch, with at least one end wire of the ring portion being extended inward with respect to the center of the spiral axis, and the end wire being bent toward the direction of the other end of the ring portion, heightening the clamping force and enhancing the designability by one motif created by the end wire.

  • Patent number: 8024844
    Abstract: A clip is easily usable even by a visually handicapped person and a presbyope. The clip has bend sections, rectilinear sections, and a connection section. The bend sections can be located at positions close to each other with a spacing equal to or less than the diameter of the wire material of the clip held between them. The rectilinear sections are bent upward and some are in contact with each other.

  • Publication number: 20100154175
    Abstract: A clip easily usable even by a visually handicapped person and a presbyope. A clip (100) has first and second bend sections (110, 120), first and second rectilinear sections (130, 140), third and fourth rectilinear sections (150, 160), and a connection section (170). End edges (141, 151) of the second rectilinear section and the third rectilinear section, respectively, are positioned within a region surrounded by the first rectilinear section (130), the fourth rectilinear section (160), and the connection section (170). The first bend section (110) is located, in the longitudinal direction, at substantially the same position as the second bend section (120), or alternatively, the first bend section (110) and the second bend section (120) are located at positions close to each other with a spacing equal to or less than the diameter of the wire material of the clip held between them.

  • Patent number: 7371600
    Abstract: A thin-film structural body formed by using a semiconductor processing technique and a manufacturing method thereof, and particularly a thin-film structural body constituting a semiconductor acceleration sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. The thin-film structural body allows the thin-film member to be easily stress-controlled, and easily makes the film-thickness of the thin-film member thicker. The thin-film member forms a mass body and, beams and fixed electrodes of the semiconductor acceleration sensor are constituted by a plurality of doped polysilicon thin-films that are laminated by performing a step of film deposition of polysilicon while, for example, phosphorous is being doped as impurities plural times.
