Abstract

The present invention provides a paper clip which can not merely supports the upstanding of a document such as a manuscript but also support it in such a manner that it is arranged at a position and an orientation easy to view. To this end, there are first formed a convex clamping member 2 having at its fore part a clamping surface 2a which has been curved into a convexed plane and a concave clamping member 3 having at its fore part a clamping surface 3a which has been curved into a concaved plane. The convex clamping member 2 and the concave clamping member 3 are arranged such that their respective clamping surfaces 2a and 3a are brought into snug abutment against each other, with operative portions 7 and 8 being pressed against a biasing force of a spring to pivotably open a clamping portion 10 around a pivot 6. A fixed base plate 4 having an anchoring member 5 is coupled relative to and continuous with the rear end of the concave clamping member 3 in such a manner as to be pivotable around a pivot 14, thus obtaining a paper clip 1.
