Clip system for use with belt
Abstract
A clip system for use with a belt is disclosed. The clip system includes a base member having a first surface and a second surface opposing to the first surface on which a first engagement portion is formed. The clip system also includes a cover body, which is pivot-jointed with one end of the base member and has apertures. A second engagement portion opposing to the first engagement portion is formed on the base member, allowing the clip system to be attached to the belt when the cover body is buckled up with the base member. In addition, the clip system has a holder with protrusions for being attached to the apertures of the cover body. By using the above-mentioned clip system with the modular design, the clip system and change accessory are assembled and disassembled in an efficient way.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A clip system for use with a belt, comprising:
a base member having a first surface and a second surface opposing to the first surface, wherein the first surface has a first engagement portion; and a cover body having a plurality of apertures, having one end pivot-jointed with one end of the base member, and having a second engagement portion corresponding to the first engagement portion, so as to allow the clip system to be attached to the belt by buckling up the cover body with the base member.
2 . The clip system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a holder having at least one opening, a plurality of inner surfaces, and a plurality of outer surfaces corresponding to the inner surfaces, wherein one of the outer surfaces of the holder has a plurality of protrusions disposed thereon in positions corresponding to the apertures of the cover body for the holder to be attached to the clip system.
3 . The clip system of claim 2 , wherein the cover body has four apertures.
4 . The clip system of claim 3 , wherein the apertures of the cover body are arranged in a square pattern.
5 . The clip system of claim 4 , wherein one of the apertures of the cover body comprises a circle in combination with a notch that is eccentric from a center of the circle.
6 . The clip system of claim 5 , wherein one of the protrusions of the holder has an outer diameter and an inner diameter, and the outer diameter is smaller than a diameter of the circle and larger than a width of the notch of the one of the apertures.
7 . The clip system of claim 4 , wherein the first engagement portion of the base member comprises one or more hook units, and the second engagement portion of the cover body comprises one or more hook holes.
8 . The clip system of claim 7 , wherein the base member comprises a through-groove, allowing the base member under force to be elastically compressed toward a center of the through-groove.
9 . The clip system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more hook units of the base member are arranged in a symmetric manner and disposed in positions corresponding to the one or more hook units and distant from an axis of the cover body.
10 . The clip system of claim 9 , wherein the first surface of the base member is formed with a plurality of force-applied portions on both sides of the through-groove for buckling the one or more hook units of the base member with the one or more hook holes of the cover body under force.
11 . The clip system of claim 1 , wherein a first prong and a second prong extending outwards are formed at the end of the base member that is pivot- jointed with the cover body.
12 . The clip system of claim 11 , wherein a first pivot hole and a second pivot hole are formed at the end of the cover body for pivot insertion of the first prong and the second prong.
13 . The clip system of claim 4 , wherein the holder and the cover body are jointed with each other in an outward, inward, upward, or downward manner.
14 . The clip system of claim 5 , wherein the notch of the one of the apertures of the cover body extends along a longer edge of the cover body as the cover body and the base member are of oblong shapes.
15 . The clip system of claim 2 , wherein the outer surface and the inner surface jointly have at least one slot formed adjacent to the opening of the holder.
16 . The clip system of claim 15 , wherein the holder accommodates an accessory via the opening and the slot.
17 . The clip system of claim 16 , wherein the accessory is cartridge, gun, cutting tool, pitcher, mobile phone, or wireless set.
18 . The clip system of claim 5 , wherein a protruding portion is formed between the circle and the notch of the one of the apertures of the cover body.
19 . The clip system of claim 18 , wherein the protruding portion of the one of the apertures of the cover body is an elastic member.
20 . The clip system of claim 19 , wherein the protruding portion of the one of the apertures of the cover body is a hollow member.
21 . The clip system of claim 20 , wherein the protruding portion of the one of the apertures of the cover body is of a triangle shape.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
