Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a holder for fixing a toy such as a stuffed animal to a child or a stroller so that the toy does not drop.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is a common practice to carry a small child in a stroller. At this time, it is often seen that children are provided with toys such as stuffed animals.

[0003] However, it often happens that children release their hands from the toys and drop the toys on the road. It is a problem for adults pushing a stroller to go with their toys dropped without noticing it, or to give them to children, especially toddlers who eat toys even if they notice or pick up dropped toys. is there.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to devise so that the toys do not drop even if the child releases their hands. As a simple method, the toy can be bound and held to a support object such as a stroller by attaching one end of the string to the toy and the other end to the stroller.Toy holders have recently been marketed. And is widely used.

[0005] For example, a so-called magic tape is attached to both ends of a belt, one of which is looped around the outer periphery of the toy and fastened with the magic tape, and the other is looped around the outer circumference of the stroller bar and fastened with the magic tape. No. In some cases, a pair of lockable and releasable fasteners that fit together are attached to the end of the belt instead of the Velcro.

[0006]

However, in the conventional toy holder as described above, since a pair of velcro tapes and fasteners are fixed at a fixed position of the belt, the loop diameter is constant and usable toys and the like can be used. The outer diameter of the stroller bar is limited and may not be able to accommodate the change in outer diameter if you change strollers or change toys.

In addition, in these conventional holders, the magic tape and the fastener each require a pair of a receiving device and a fitting device, and the number of members is large, resulting in a complicated structure. This causes a large number of manufacturing steps and a high cost.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a toy holder which has a simple structure with a smaller number of members than before and which can always be used without being affected by the diameter of a toy or an object to be supported. Is to do.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a toy holder for binding and holding a toy to an object to be supported, comprising: a belt; A hook member slidably hooked to the belt to form a first loop, the hook member being provided at the other end of the belt,
A clip member capable of holding at least a part of the supporting object, the clip member further comprising a hook mechanism capable of forming a second loop by slidably engaging the belt at the other end. Tightening the toy in the first loop and fixing it to the belt, and holding at least a part of the object to be supported by the clip member, or in one of the first loop and the second loop The toy can be held on the supporting object by fastening the toy with the belt and fixing at least a part of the supporting object in one of the other loops.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the toy holder according to the first aspect, the hook mechanism rises vertically from the back surface of the clip member and guides the belt from both ends in the width direction. A pair of left and right protrusions bent in a direction approaching each other so that the belt moves between the inner surfaces of the pair of protrusions and the back surface of the clip member through a gap formed between the pair of protrusions. The second loop is formed by inserting an intermediate portion.

Further, in the toy holder according to the invention of claim 3, in the toy holder of claim 2, the hook mechanism has a projection projecting toward the back surface of the clip member on the inner surfaces of the pair of projections. Respectively.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the toy holder according to the first aspect, wherein the belt has a non-slip means with respect to the hook member or the hook mechanism.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a clip member comprising a pair of upper and lower plates which are rotatably connected to each other at a substantially central position so as to sandwich at least a part of an object to be supported. An elastic member that abuts both plates at one end thereof and urges them so as to widen the gap toward the other end, between the pair of plates, wherein the pair of upper and lower plates are in contact with each other at one end. On the inner surface of the plate, a projection is provided which meshes with each other at the top and bottom, and at least one of the pair of plates has a mounting portion for fixing an end portion of the belt and a hook mechanism for engaging an intermediate portion of the belt. The hook mechanism is provided with a pair of left and right protruding pieces that rise in the vertical direction from the back of the plate and are bent in directions approaching each other so as to guide the belt from both ends in the width direction. It is capable of forming a loop by inserting an intermediate portion of the belt to between through the gap formed between the pair of projecting pieces with each other and the rear and the inner surface of the pair of projecting pieces.

The toy holder of the present invention holds a toy by putting a toy into a first loop formed by hooking a hook member at one end of a belt and sliding the hook member to tighten the toy. By fixing the other end of the belt to at least a part of the supporting object such as a child or a stroller, the toy can be bound and held on the supporting object.

In the present invention, the first loop for holding the toy by tightening it can change the diameter arbitrarily by sliding the hook member hooked on the belt. Even adaptable.

On the other hand, at the other end, if the toy is relatively light, such as a small stuffed toy, a clip member may be used to hold a portion of the child's clothes or stroller, and the toy can be easily inserted. It can be fastened to a supporting object. In particular, clipping is simple, such as when holding a child without using a stroller.

When the child is placed in a stroller, the toy is relatively heavy, or when the child has a strong grip and has a pulling force on the toy, the hook mechanism of the clip member is used. If a second loop is formed while the other end of the belt is wound around the stroller bar using the above method, and the belt of the hook mechanism is fastened and fastened, a stronger toy can be fastened. At this time, since the hook mechanism is also slidable with respect to the belt in the second loop, the tightening portion of the support target is not limited to the specific outer diameter, and, for example, the stroller bar has a different outer diameter. Even adaptable.

When the first loop and the second loop at both ends of the belt are used without being held by the clip member, the toy or the object to be supported can be tightened on either side.

Further, in the toy holder according to the present invention, since the members forming the loop are directly hooked to the belt, only one member may be provided at each end portion. The number of parts is smaller than when using a product, the manufacturing process can be simplified accordingly, and the cost of the manufacturing line can be reduced compared to other products of the same type.
As a result, the price of the product can be reduced.

It should be noted that the hook member and the hook mechanism only need to have a configuration in which the hook member and the hook mechanism can be simultaneously slid on the belt. Usually, the belt is made of a synthetic resin such as a cloth string or a rubber string, and may have any shape as long as it can be easily hooked and removed using its flexibility and flexibility.

However, since the hook mechanism in the present invention is formed on the clip member, it is necessary to design the hook mechanism so as not to hinder the clip holding mechanism. For example, a configuration using a pair of left and right protruding pieces that bends in directions approaching each other after rising vertically from the back surface of the clip member is simple.

Assuming that the interval between the rising portions of the two projections is equivalent to the width of the belt, the belt inserted between the back of the clip and the inner surface of these projections from the gap between the pair of projections just from the width direction of both ends. It is held to be guided.

The belt thus held by the pair of projections is slidable with respect to the back surface of the clip, and is wound while forming a second loop around the bar of the stroller. Can be tightened. However, after holding the toy unity, it is preferable that the bar is not easily loosened. Therefore, for example, if a protrusion protruding toward the back of the clip is provided on the inner surface of the pair of protrusions and the belt surface is lightly pressed, the belt slides while resisting the pressing of the protrusion. Therefore, the second loop is not easily loosened.

On the other hand, since it is preferable that the first loop for tightening the toy does not easily loosen, the belt on which the hook member is hooked may be provided with a non-slip means for preventing the hook from slipping. Specifically, it is possible to make the belt slippery by forming the belt itself from a material whose surface is not slippery.
In addition, anti-slip means may be obtained by surface treatment of the belt.

For example, there is a method of arranging a plurality of convex patterns by resin printing on the surface of a cloth belt in the longitudinal direction of the belt. In this convex pattern, the contact portion of the hook member that slides on the belt surface is caught and can be made hard to slip.

The clip member of the present invention only needs to be capable of holding a cloth or the like. For example, the same clip mechanism as a general clip mechanism such as a washing pinch can be used. What is necessary is just to form a belt attachment part and a hook mechanism.

The clip member according to the fifth aspect of the present invention has a general clip member configuration in which a coil spring is disposed between a pair of upper and lower plates which are connected to each other at a substantially central position so as to be rotatable to each other. An elastic member such as a plate spring or the like is installed, and both plates are brought into an urging state such that they abut at one end and increase the gap toward the other end, and are common in commercially available washing pinches and the like. It has a simple clip mechanism.

In such a clip member, in the natural state, one end portion is urged so as to pinch an intervening member, and if the widened other end portion is closed against the force of the elastic member, one end portion is closed. Sides open to allow for pinch to be placed or removed in between. Usually, projections that mesh with each other are provided on the inner surfaces at one end side of the pair of upper and lower plates that are in contact with each other, so that an object sandwiched between the projections at the upper and lower sides is less likely to slide down.

The clip member according to the present invention is provided with a mounting portion and a hook mechanism for fixing the end of the belt to at least one plate, and the hook mechanism is engaged with an intermediate portion of the belt fixed to the mounting portion. Since the loop can be formed by causing the toy, the loop can be used for a toy holder, for example, by tightening a part of a toy or an object to be supported by the toy.

If the belt attaching portion and the hook mechanism are provided only on one plate, decoration such as drawing various designs can be performed using the outer surface (upper surface) of the other plate as a clip surface. At this time, assuming that the upper plate is on the front side and the lower plate is on the rear side, the hook mechanism is provided on the clip rear surface, that is, on the outer surface (lower surface) of the lower plate, so that the hook mechanism is used. When the belt is tied by tightening, the clip surface side is exposed to the outside and becomes visible to the surrounding people.

It is desirable that such a plate or a hook member is lightweight. For example, if it is a plastic molded product, it is lightweight and a characteristic shape such as a hook mechanism and a belt mounting hole can be easily molded. Can be manufactured using Further, the length of the belt is more preferably adjustable, and a length adjusting tool such as a buckle may be attached.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable-length toy holder having a clip using a leaf spring made of a plastic upper and lower plate at one end and a plastic hook at the other end. 1 to 4
Shown in

FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic structural views of the entire toy holder according to the present embodiment, wherein FIG. 1A is a plan view, and FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view when the first and second loops are formed. FIG.
Is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the upper plate of the clip,
(A) is a plan view seen from above and outside (the surface in a clip assembled state), (b) is a side view, (c) is a plan view seen from the inside in a clip assembled state, and (d) is a longitudinal sectional view. . 3A and 3B are schematic views showing the configuration of the lower plate of the clip. FIG. 3A is a plan view seen from the lower outside (rear side in the assembled state of the clip), FIG. 3B is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. , (D)
Is a plan view from the inside in the clip assembled state,
(E) is a side view. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a use state of the toy holder according to the present embodiment.

In the toy holder according to the present embodiment, one end of the belt 1 made of a cloth string is passed through a belt through hole 21 which is a belt attaching portion of a hook 20, and a buckle 2 which is a length adjusting tool. The hook 20 is attached to one end of the belt 1 by forming a loop.

Similarly, the other end of the belt 1 is
Belt through hole 13 provided in lower plate 12
The clip 10 is attached to the other end side of the belt 1 by forming a loop via another buckle 2 in a state where the belt 1 is passed through.

The hook 20 has a claw shape, and the first loop 4 is formed by hooking the belt 1 and inserting and passing the belt 1 inside the claw. By sliding the hook 20 on the belt 1 while being hooked on the belt 1, the diameter of the first loop 4 can be increased or decreased.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, one end of the belt 1 is wound around a constricted portion such as the neck portion of a toy, for example, a stuffed animal 31 of a small animal, and then the hook 20 is hooked on the belt 1. After stopping and forming the first loop 4 around the stuffed toy 31, if the stuffed toy 31 is tightened while sliding the hook 20 with respect to the belt 1, the holding state of the toy at one end of the belt 1 is obtained. .

The clip 10 is composed of an upper plate 11 on which the outline of a bear is painted and painted, and the upper plate 1
1 has a washing pinch-like configuration by a pair with a lower plate 12 having substantially the same contour as that of FIG. The connecting protrusions 19b of the protrusions formed at the substantially center both ends of the inner surface of the lower plate 12 fit into the connection receiving holes 19a of the protrusions formed at the substantially center both ends of the inner surface of the upper plate 11. By the combination, the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12 are rotatably connected to each other in a facing state.

On the inner surfaces of the upper and lower plates (11, 12), leaf spring mounting portions (18a, 18b) are provided, respectively.
Are respectively formed in a concave shape, and a substantially U-shaped leaf spring 16 is fixed in contact with the leaf spring mounting portions (18a, 18b) between the upper and lower plates (11, 12), and the upper and lower plates (18) are naturally placed. 11, 12) are abutted at one end and urged to widen the gap toward the other end. Also,
An inner surface of one end of the upper and lower plates (11, 12) that abuts each other has protrusions (17,
a, 17b) are provided.

If the clip 10 at the other end of the belt 1 having such a configuration is sandwiched between children's clothes and a fabric portion of a stroller, the toy is fastened and held by the first loop 4 at one end. If the child is not too heavy, the toy will not fall to the ground even when the child releases the toy,
Can be tied to children and strollers.

The clip 11 of this embodiment has a hook mechanism on the outer surface of the lower plate 12, that is, on the back surface of the clip. The hook mechanism vertically rises from the left and right ends of the back of the clip, which are exactly the width of the belt 1, then bends in the direction approaching each other, and at a distance of at least the thickness of the belt 1. Are formed from a pair of projecting pieces 14 whose front end portions abut.

Therefore, when the belt 1 is passed through the gap between the projecting pieces 14 to the clip rear side, the belt 1 is moved between the clip rear face and the inner surfaces of the pair of projecting pieces 14.
The second loop 5 is formed by being held in a hold state so as to be guided from both ends.

The clip 10 having such a hook mechanism
Is slidable on the belt 1 in a hooked state.
The diameter of the loop 5 can be increased or decreased. Therefore, when the clipping by the clip 10 is not performed, the other end of the belt 1 is wound around the stroller bar 30 and then the pair of protrusions 14 is hooked on the belt 1 to form the second loop. After the bar 5 is formed around the bar 30, if the bar 10 is tightened while sliding the clip 10 with respect to the belt 1, the other end of the belt 1 is firmly connected.
Therefore, even if the toy held at one end of the belt 1 is strongly pulled, the belt 1 is not unwound, and a stable toy binding and holding state is always obtained.

In this embodiment, the belt 1 of the clip 10 is formed by forming projections 15 projecting toward the back of the clip on the inner surfaces of the pair of projections 14, respectively.
The second loop 5 is hardly slackened by making the sliding with respect to a little harder. In the present embodiment, the opening hole H is formed in the region of the rear surface of the clip where the projecting piece 14 is formed. However, this is a design problem that facilitates the manufacturing process, and is not always necessary.

Further, a plurality of convex patterns 3 were arranged at predetermined intervals on the surface of the belt 1 by resin printing, and the hooks 20 at one end were caught by the convex patterns 3 when sliding on the belt 1 so as to be hard to slip. Thus, the first loop 4 does not loosen the loosely tightened toy. Instead of providing the slip prevention means on such a surface, the belt 1 itself may be made of a non-slip material such as a synthetic resin.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pair of projecting pieces 14 of the hook mechanism are formed so that the tips thereof abut each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this shape. For example, as shown in FIG. The sides may face each other at a predetermined interval in the direction.

Furthermore, although the case where a leaf spring is used as the elastic member of the clip 10 has been shown, a clip mechanism using another elastic member such as a coil spring may be used.

Since the inner diameter of each of the first loop 4 and the second loop 5 can be displaced, the present invention can be applied even if the outer diameter of the object to be tightened is not constant. Therefore, either of them may be used to tighten a toy or a stroller bar.

According to the toy holder of this embodiment as described above, a toy having any outer diameter can be easily bound and held with a simple configuration having a small number of parts. Further, as for the fixing to the support object, it is possible to select between the clipping by the clip and the fastening by the second loop depending on the situation.

[0050]

As described above, according to the present invention, according to the toy holder of the present invention, a toy having any outer diameter can be easily bound and held. In addition, since it has a simple configuration with a smaller number of parts than conventional products, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and low cost can be provided by reducing manufacturing costs.
