The purpose of this final work is to simulate conceptual plastic clothespin which is produced by injection moulding and consists of one piece. The goal of the work is to determine whether the conceptual design solution is a suitable replacement for a conventional plastic clothespin.It is necessary to select the appropriate material, determine the squeezing force, stress state, and find out whether the deformations are recoverable. Numerical calculations were performed in the Abaqus program using the finite element method (FEM). Possible improvements were proposed according to the results of the analyzes.
