A clip for clamping a cloth according to the invention is mounted on an embroidery frame including an outer frame, and an inner frame which is internally engaged with the outer frame thereby to hold a cloth to be worked between the outer frame and the inner frame. The clip includes a leaf spring member which can be detachably mounted on the outer frame, and an urging member which is fitted to this leaf spring member and adapted to press the cloth to be worked onto the inner frame. The leaf spring member has a first engaging portion adapted to be engaged with a lower part of the outer frame from outside, a first plate portion extending upwardly from the first engaging portion, a second plate portion formed in an upper part of this first plate portion by way of a bent portion and downwardly inclined along an inner face of the outer frame, and a second engaging portion formed in this second plate portion and adapted to be engaged with an upper part of the outer frame from inside. The urging member is provided on the second plate portion and adapted to press a part of the cloth to be worked extending upwardly from between the outer frame and inner frame onto the inner frame. According to the structure, the cloth to be worked can be reliably clamped to be held in a stabilized state, and a slack of the cloth while embroidering can be prevented. At the same time, the clip can be made compact and lightweight, and can be easily mounted or dismounted.

I claim: 1. A clip for clamping a cloth to be mounted on an embroidery frame including an outer frame, and an inner frame which is internally engaged with the outer frame thereby to hold a cloth to be worked between the outer frame and the inner frame, the clip comprising; a leaf spring member which can be detachably mounted on the outer frame, and an urging member that is separate and distinct from the leaf spring member and adapted to press the cloth to be worked onto the inner frame, wherein the leaf spring member includes: a first engaging portion adapted to be engaged with a lower part of the outer frame from outside, a first plate portion extending upwardly from the first engaging portion, a second plate portion formed in an upper part of the first plate portion by way of a bent portion and downwardly inclined along an inner face of the outer frame, and a second engaging portion formed in the second plate portion and adapted to be engaged with an upper part of the outer frame from inside, the urging member being provided on the second plate portion and adapted to press a part of the cloth to be worked that extends upwardly from between the outer frame and the inner frame onto the inner frame. 2. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 1, wherein a direction of pressure of the urging member is in parallel with a direction of inclination of the second plate portion, and at an acute angle with respect to a vertical direction. 3. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cloth to be worked is pressed with the urging member onto an outside crest of the inner frame. 4. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 1, wherein an inner face of the outer frame is formed as an inclined face which is inclined inwardly, a part of the first plate portion of the leaf spring member is so designed as to come into contact with an outer face of the outer frame, and a part of the second plate portion is so designed as to come into contact with the inclined face of the outer frame. 5. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer frame is provided with an engaging recess in a lower part thereof, and the first engaging portion is engaged with the engaging recess so as not to protrude from a lower end face of the outer frame. 6. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 1, wherein the urging member is a spring member which is formed by bending resilient linear material. 7. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 6, wherein the spring member has a pressure portion which is projected from the second plate portion thereby to press the cloth to be worked onto the inner frame. 8. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 7, wherein the leaf spring member is formed with a positioning part for positioning the spring member. 9. A clip for clamping a cloth to be mounted on an embroidery frame including an outer frame, and an inner frame which is internally engaged with the outer frame thereby to hold a cloth to be worked between the outer frame and the inner frame, the clip comprising: a mounting member which is detachably mounted on the outer frame, and a pressure member that is separate and distinct from the mounting member and adapted to press an outside crest of the inner frame. 10. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 9, wherein the mounting member has a contact portion which comes into contact with an outer peripheral face of the outer frame so as to be substantially in flush with the outer peripheral face, in a state mounted on the outer frame. 11. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 9, wherein the mounting member has an engaging portion which is engaged with a lower face of the outer frame so as to be substantially in flush with the lower face, in a state mounted on the outer frame. 12. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 9, wherein the mounting member is formed of a resilient member which can be resiliently deformed. 13. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 12, wherein the resilient member is a leaf spring member. 14. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 9, wherein at least one of the mounting member and the pressure member is provided with a positioning part for positioning the pressure member when the pressure member is fitted to the mounting member. 15. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 9, wherein the pressure member is a resilient member which can be resiliently deformed. 16. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 15, wherein the resilient member is fitted to the mounting member and held by resiliency of the resilient member itself. 17. The clip for clamping a cloth as claimed in claim 15, wherein the resilient member is formed of resilient linear material.
