PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clip having high clipping force for holding an article between a pair of lever members with finger-push holding operation. SOLUTION: The clip uses the first lever member 2 and a first clipping member 3, and a movable member 5 serving as the lever member and a second clipping member. A head portion of the first lever member 2 is joined and fixed to a head portion of the first clipping member 3 to form a common head portion 11. As the first lever member 2 and the first clipping member 3 are moved apart from each other in a range from the common head portion 11 toward their tail portions 22, 32, a bay-like space 4 is formed as a bay opening portion 42 near the pair of head portions 22, 32. The movable member 5 is stored in the bay-like space 4 so that its head portion 51 engages with the common head portion 11 turnably around a turn supporting point. Between the first lever member 2 and the movable member 5, a spring means 6 is provided for energizing the movable member 5 to pressure-contact the first clipping member 3. When an article to be held is a rope 7, one end 71 can be fixed to the first lever member 2. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
