Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obviate the risk that the load on band portions around the neck will act on the neck, and mesh them smoothly by means of sliders. SOLUTION: The hanging strap comprises a pair of neckbands 1 each having a long strip of backing tape 7 mounted with a coil-shaped tooth element 5, a slider 2 engaged with one-side ends of the neckbands 1 to mesh the tooth elements 5 together, a locking part 3 fixed to the one-side ends of the neckbands 1, and an engaging part 4 adapted to engage the other ends of the neckbands 1 into a releasable loop and to disengage them when under a preset load. With a portable commodity retained on the locking part 3, the neckbands 1 shaped into a loop around the neck by the engaging part 4 allow the portable commodity to be hung from the neck. The loop size is variable by sliding motion of the slider 2. The slider 2 is smoothly slidable along the tooth elements 5 without twisting them because of their attachment to the strips of backing tape 7. A load on the neckbands 1 disengages the engaging part 4 and thus never acts on the neck to improve safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanging strap which locks a portable article and hangs on a hanging strap which carries the portable article, and particularly employs a fastener for the hanging strap and hangs the strap around the neck. It relates to a hanging string of a mold.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a hanging strap of a neck-hanging type has been used so that portable items such as a portable telephone, a portable ashtray, a key (key), a wallet, a commuter pass, etc. are carried around the neck. . Conventionally, as a first example of this type of hanging strap, a neck strap which is formed in an annular shape so as to be hooked on a neck, and which is attached to the neck strap to lock portable items, etc. And a locking portion.

[0003] As a second example, there is a key holder disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2610482 or Japanese Patent No. 2610486, although the purpose of use is different from that of a neck-type hanging string. This key ring has one fastener element row in which double-sided teeth are fixed to a flexible core material at a constant pitch, a separating tool that can couple and separate both ends of the fastener element row, and a pull tab. And a slider for engaging and disengaging the double-sided engagement teeth. Then, the fastener element row through which the key is passed is bent in a loop shape, and both ends thereof are connected to each other by a separator via a slider.
The size of the loop can be changed by moving the slider. In addition, the slider has a lock mechanism that prevents the fastener element row from engaging and disengaging. If the loop portion is formed so that the neck can be hooked up with the zipper element row of the key ring configured as described above, a neck-type hanging string can be obtained.

[0004]

However, in the above-described conventional neck-type hanging strap, in the first example, portable items were pulled or a part of the neck strap was unexpectedly hooked. At this time, a load may be applied to the neck from the neck strap that is formed into an annular shape, and there is a risk that an unexpected accident may occur. In particular, in the second example, since the fastener element row that forms the loop portion has many teeth,
There is a risk of injury to the neck due to this tooth.

In the second example, the size of the loop portion formed by the fastener element row can be changed by the slider. In the cross-sectional shape of the fastener element row, the core material is passed through the teeth. Because of the fixed structure, there is a possibility that twisting may occur around the core material, and this twisting may cause the orientations of the respective teeth to become ununiform, and the slider may not be able to smoothly mesh with the respective teeth.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention eliminates the risk that a load applied to a string portion applied to the neck is applied to the neck, and allows the slider to perform a smooth meshing operation with the slider. It is intended to provide a hanging string.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a suspension string according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided in which a row of coils formed in a coil is formed in a longitudinal direction of a long strip-shaped support tape. A pair of straps attached so as to fit along, a slider passed through each end of the pair of straps so as to mesh with each of the engagement tooth rows, and an engaged end of each of the straps. A locking portion that is provided on the fixed portion that is fixed and locks desired portable items, and the other ends of the pair of hanging strings are detachably engaged with each other to make each of the hanging strings annular, And an engagement portion that can be released from the engaged state by a predetermined load.

The hanging string according to the second aspect is the first aspect.
