Abstract
Abstract A novel clip device comprises a first clipping member with a shape of loop and is made from elastic rod material; a bending member, connected upwardly to one end of the first clipping member; a second clipping member, having the similar shape as the first clipping member, connected to the upper end of the bending member. The second clipping member includes a inner loop member and a outer loop member. The bending member of the clip device provide a larger tolerance for the clip device to swallow the papers.
