Abstract
A holder includes a base including two opposite supporting members extending from a top surface of the base, each supporting member having a clipping arm extending from a bottom edge of one end thereof; two elastic members each mounted to its corresponding supporting member, so as to define a predetermined narrow passage for passing through a rod object; and a cap covered on the base, which has a notch cutting into a skirt of the cap that faces the passage, and a recess portion formed on a cap rim of the cap and opposite to the notch. When the cap is assembled with the base, the notch defines an inserting hole for insertion of the rod object into the holder, and the recess portion of the cap rim defines an inserting slot for insertion of thin objects into the holder.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a holder, and in particular to a holder for holding a rod object such as a pen and clipping thin objects such as papers, wherein the surfaces of the objects inserted into the holder can not be hurt, and the holder can be conveniently and detachably mounted on a metal surface.
- 2. The Prior Arts
- Conventional holders provide for functions of holding objects such as pens and papers. Users may fix the holders on anywhere using fastening members such as screws, but it is inconvenient to move the fixed holder to other places for immediate use. Additionally, the conventional holders include two clipping members made of metal materials to hold the objects. Although the two metallic clipping members have higher strength, they are easy to hurt surfaces of the held objects and have lower elasticity. Thus, it is desired to provide a holder for holding objects, which can solve the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior arts.
- A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a holder for holding a rod object such as a pen and clipping thin objects such as papers, which does not hurt surfaces of the held objects.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a holder for holding a rod object such as a pen and clipping thin objects such as papers, which can be conveniently and detachably mounted on a metallic surface.
- To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a holder is provided, which comprises a base comprising two opposite supporting members extending from a top surface of the base, each supporting member having a clipping arm extending from a bottom edge of one end thereof, whereby thin objects are capable of being inserted and clipped between the clipping arms and the top surface of the base; two elastic members each mounted to its corresponding supporting member, so as to define a predetermined narrow passage for passing through a rod object, in which the diameter of the rod object is larger than the width of the passage; and a cap covered on the base, which has a notch cutting into a skirt of the cap that faces the passage, and a recess portion formed on a cap rim of the cap and opposite to the notch. When the cap is assembled with the base, the notch defines an inserting hole for insertion of the rod object into the holder, and the recess portion of the cap rim defines an inserting slot for insertion of the thin objects into the holder.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the base of the holder further has a partition on the top surface thereof for preventing the inserted thin objects being pushed out of the holder when the rod object is then inserted into the holder.
- In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, a magnetic member is attached on a back surface of the base so that the holder is capable of being conveniently and detachably mounted on a metallic surface. Accordingly, the holder of the present invention can be freely moved according to a user's desires.
- Compared with the conventional holders, the elastic member of the holder in accordance with the present invention is made of rubber. This allows the surfaces of the objects inserted into the holder not to be hurt.
- The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a holder in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing that a pen is inserted in the holder of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing that several pieces of paper are clipped by and a pen is inserted in the holder of the present invention. - With reference to
FIGS. 1-4 and in particular toFIG. 2 , a holder in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises abase 10 and acap 20 covered on thebase 10. Thebase 10 includes two opposite supportingmembers 12 extending from a top surface of thebase 10 and having a C-shaped slot 17. The two supportingmembers 12 each have aclipping arm 13 extending from a bottom edge of one end of the supportingmember 12. Theclipping arm 13 has acurved portion 131 at a free end thereof, which is curved toward thebase 10, so that several sheets of thin objects such as papers can be inserted and clipped between thecurved portions 131 of the clippingarms 13 and the top surface of thebase 10. Thebase 10 further has twostripe openings 11 each disposed along itscorresponding clipping arm 13, and thecurved portion 131 of eachclipping arm 13 is slightly lower than the top surface of thebase 10 for more tightly clipping the thin objects. Twoelastic members 15 each are shaped into but not limited to a tubular shape and mounted to the C-shaped slot 17 of the supportingmember 12. The twoelastic members 15 may be made of rubber. The twoelastic members 15 define a predetermined narrow passage (not numbered) for passing through a rod object such as a pen, wherein the diameter of the rod object is larger than the width of the passage. In addition, thebase 10 further includes twofixing holes 16 on the top surface of thebase 10 and twopositioning recesses 14 on a rim of thebase 10. - The
cap 20 has twofixing pins 24 extending inward from an inner surface thereof and each having a hole (not numbered), anotch 21 cutting into askirt 23 of thecap 20, and arecess portion 25 formed on acap rim 26 of thecap 20 and opposite to thenotch 21. When thecap 20 is assembled with thebase 10, thecap rim 26 of thecap 20 is fitted into the twopositioning recesses 14 of thebase 10, and eachfixing pin 24 of thecap 20 and itscorresponding fixing hole 16 of thebase 10 are engaged with each other and fixed together by screwing ascrew 61 into the hole of thefixing pin 24. Thenotch 21 defines an inserting hole for insertion of a rod object, such as a pen, into the holder. Therecess portion 25 of thecap rim 26 defines an inserting slot 22 (seeFIG. 1 ) for insertion of several sheets of thin objects, such as papers, into the holder. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , when arod object 30, such as a pen, inserts into the holder of the present invention from thenotch 21 of thecap 20, therod object 30 pushes away the twoelastic members 15 to make them be deformed as dotted lines shown inFIG. 3 , and is clipped by the twoelastic members 15 due to the restoring forces thereof. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , except that therod object 30 is inserted into the holder, a piece ofpaper 40 is inserted into the holder from theinserting slot 22. The clippingarms 13 of thebase 10 tightly clip thepaper 40. Referring toFIG. 2 , thebase 10 further has apartition 19 on the top surface thereof for preventing the insertedpaper 40 being pushed out of the holder when therod object 30 is then inserted into the holder. - Additionally, a
magnetic member 51, such as a sheet of magnet, is attached on a back surface of thebase 10 so that the holder can be conveniently and detachably mounted on a metallic surface. Accordingly, the holder of the present invention can be freely moved according to a user's desires. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
