Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a strap which is suitable as a relatively lightweight strap for portable equipment such as a portable telephone, a pager (registered trademark), a portable game machine, a camera, a key, a coin purse and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Strap of relatively lightweight portable articles such as portable telephones, pagers, portable game machines, cameras, keys, coin purses, etc., as well as those of various lengths, needless to say, can be adjusted in length. Various products have been proposed and put into practical use, such as products equipped with products, clips provided with clips and buckles for fixing to clothes. Also,
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-139543 discloses that when a large external force is applied to a portable article while the portable article is hung on a neck or a wrist via a strap, the strap or the wrist is used. In order to prevent this, when a tensile load exceeding a certain level is applied to the mobile device, the mobile device is separated from the strap body to ensure user safety. Some have been proposed. In addition, in this strap, it is assumed that the portable article is hung on the neck or wrist, and the strap body is separated when a tensile load of 7 kg or more is applied to ensure the safety of the user. ing.

[0003]

By the way, the strap is inadvertently dropped out of the pocket by increasing the convenience of pulling out the strap from the pocket or by fixing the strap to clothes or a bag with a clip or the like. Although it is intended to prevent such a situation, the following problem arises when a clip or a buckle or the like is used to fix it to clothes or a bag.
In other words, when a long strap is used, the portable article can be taken out and used while the clip or buckle is fixed to clothes or the like, but the strap is entangled or caught on the way, and the operability of the portable article is reduced. Because of this, a short one is usually used. However, in the case of a short strap, it is necessary to attach and detach a clip, a buckle, or the like to clothes, a bag, or the like every time the portable article is used, which is very troublesome. In addition, although clips and the like that can be easily removed from clothing etc. have been developed, the handling of the portable articles during use is reduced compared to when they are not fixed with the clips, etc. Since it is necessary to release the clip while holding the camera, there is a case where the portable article is dropped when the user operates in a hurry.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to prevent a portable article from being accidentally dropped from a pocket or the like, and at the time of using the portable article, pull the portable article away from the clothes and the like so that the portable article can be used quickly. The purpose is to provide a tough strap.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A strap according to the present invention is a connector that can be connected / disconnected between a fixing portion of a strap main body to personal belongings of a user and a mounting portion of the strap main body to portable goods. So, 1.0 ~
It is provided with a connecting member that separates when a tensile load of 4.0 kg is applied.

In this strap, for example, the fixing portion of the strap main body is fixed to accessories such as a user's clothing and a belt attached to the clothing, personal belongings such as a bag and a bag, and a fixing portion of the strap main body. The portable article is attached to the user, and the portable article is worn by storing the portable article in a pocket or the like of personal belongings of the user. In addition, the connecting tool is configured to be divided when a predetermined tensile load in a range of 1.0 to 4.0 kg is applied. By applying a tensile load equal to or more than the tensile load to the connecting device, the connecting device is cut off, and the portable article is separated from personal belongings of the user and used freely. After use, the connecting device is connected and the portable article is stored again in a pocket or the like. Thus, with this strap,
Since the portable article can be removed by holding and pulling the portable article, the portable article can be quickly and safely removed as compared with a case where the portable article is detached via a clip or the like. Can be significantly improved.

[0007] The tensile load when the connecting tool is split is as follows.
If the weight is less than 0 kg, the portable article is easily detached, so that the portable article may be inadvertently dropped.
If the weight exceeds Kg, the clothing may be damaged when the portable article is separated, or it may be difficult for a child or an elderly person having weak strength to detach the portable article.
It will be set to 0 kg. However, since it is conceivable that a tensile load of 1.0 kg or more acts on the portable article, basically, the portable article should be stored in a pocket or bag of the clothing and stored as needed. It is preferable to use it by taking it out of a pocket or bag.

Here, it is preferable that an end patch is provided on a fixing portion of the strap main body, and a clip capable of holding the end patch is provided on the strap main body movably at an intermediate portion of the strap main body. In this case, the strap body can be easily fixed to the belt or the like by fixing the clip to the end patch with the end patch passed through the belt or the like. However, a clip is provided at the end of the strap body, and the clothes are directly pinched with the clip, or the clip is passed through the belt, and then the clip is pinched in the middle of the strap body, and the strap body is attached to the belt or clothing. May be fixed.

[0009] An adjuster for adjusting the length may be provided in the middle of the strap body. In such a strap, the strap body is fixed to a belt or the like, and the portable article is used in a pocket or the like. However, by adjusting the length of the strap body with an adjuster, the portable article can be placed inside the pocket. Can be held in a floating state. For this reason, the load of the portable article can be supported by the strap, and the pockets and the like can be prevented from becoming heavy.
