Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a garter for stocking, having a small size and light, without having an incompatible feeling on wearing, formed by a one unit molding and equipped with both functions of an engagement and a hinge. <P>SOLUTION: This garter is constituted by making a long and thin flat material having a light weight and consisting of an elastic material as a one unit structure by arranging an engaging hole 3 with a guide 2, hole 4 having rectangular shape, a belt-formed part 5 and an engaging projection 9 with a guide 8 in order, making the belt-shaped part as thinner than the other parts for easily bending and engaging the engaging hole with the engaging projection by bending it from the belt-shaped part. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stopper used when wearing long socks such as stockings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most of socks called stockings are knitted, and are called tricot, full fashion, and seamless from the manufacturing method. The thread itself is thin and the rubber at the mouth is not enough to support the entire sock, so suspend it with a garter with snaps or buckles to prevent slipping during wearing.

[0003]

The stoppers for socks are made of metal or resin. Since the stopper holds the knitted fabric between the constituent materials, the hinge function is indispensable. Therefore,
The number of constituent materials is large and the size tends to be large, and the discomfort when touching the skin cannot be ignored. The present invention has solved the problem by reducing the number of constituent materials and adopting a shape and a material that do not make the user feel uncomfortable during use.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a light and thin flat member made of an elastic material is guided from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction, and a guide engaging hole, a rectangular hole, a belt-shaped portion and a guide engaging are provided. A stopper for long socks having a structure in which projections are sequentially arranged, and the belt-shaped portion is curved to engage the engagement hole with the engagement projection.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The stopper is lightly and integrally molded into a flat shape using an elastic material, and has an engaging function at both ends of the flat surface.
The structure is such that a hinge function is provided near the center. With this structure, the number of members was minimized, which contributed to cost reduction.
Its lightness, thinness, and smoothness improve the feel of the skin and reduce the discomfort during use.

As the elastic material, a synthetic resin that is resistant to alternating bending (toughness) is used. In order to enhance flexibility and flexibility without impairing toughness, the central part is made thinner than other parts to give a hinge function. Guides of different lengths are attached to the engaging members of the engaging portion to enhance the engaging function, and a slip stopper is attached to the back surface of the flat surface to facilitate engagement and disengagement.

[0007]

The stopper of the present invention has improved the touch and the flexibility prevents damage to the material of the sock, and the integrated structure reduces the number of connecting points, thereby eliminating the occurrence of defects.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a cross section of the engaging portion shown in FIG. FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are a cross-sectional view of the stopper sandwiching the sock opening of the sock in use and an enlarged cross-sectional view of the engaging portion.

As shown in FIG. 1, the stopper 1 is formed as a rectangular flat member. The right end is provided with an engagement hole 3 with a longer guide 2 forming a female engagement portion. Toward the left end, a square hole 4 for the belt, a thin and hollow strip 5 which plays the role of a hinge follow, and an engaging projection 9 with a short guide 8 forming a male engaging part is provided at the left end. Prepare

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the belt-like portion 5 on the left side of the stopper 1 is curved so that the guide 2 of the engaging hole 3 at the right end hits the guide 8 of the engaging projection 9 at the left end. Combined with. This combination is performed by applying a force to the back surface 7 with the slip stopper 6 between the strip portion and the engaging projection. If the length and shape of the guide are different, it is easy to engage and it is difficult to disengage during use.

In FIG. 4 (A), the garter belt 10 is connected to the rectangular hole 4, and the sock 1 is provided between the engaging hole 3 and the engaging protrusion 9.
It is sectional drawing of the stopper 1 which pinched | interposed the cloth of No. 1. Figure 4 (B)
Shows an enlarged view of the engaging portion in FIG. Since the engaging portion pushes and sandwiches the cloth of the sock into the engaging hole by the engaging protrusion, the portion that comes into contact with the cloth is sufficiently chamfered.

[0012]

The stopper for long socks of the present invention has the following effects. It's small, light and thin, so it's easy to use, it doesn't feel uncomfortable to the touch, and it doesn't damage the sock fabric. The engaging part is easy to hold and difficult to disengage during use. Since it is composed of one member, the manufacturing cost can be kept low. There is no fear of malfunction because it is made of strong synthetic resin and molded integrally with few connecting parts.
