binder clip

Document holding device

A binder clip is a small metal device for holding papers together, consisting of two triangular handles attached to a spring-loaded clip.

The handles fold flat when not in use and flip up to squeeze the clip open.

Stronger than paperclips, binder clips secure thick stacks of documents: I used a binder clip to hold the manuscript together.
