TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a strap provided with a key, and more particularly, to a strap with a key that can always be used as a strap by being attached to a predetermined portable item, and the key provided can be used as needed.
[0002]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In daily life, "keys" are one of the valuable portable items that you need to carry whenever you go out, like a wallet. These keys are various, such as a "home key", a "car key", and a "workplace key", all of which play an important role in preventing incidents such as theft.
[0003]
However, the keys can be annoying to have. That is, many keys have a total length of about 6 cm to 7 cm, and are formed in a plate shape from a rigid metal having no flexibility. I feel uncomfortable. In particular, many women who care about fashion do not want to unnaturally inflate only a part of their clothes such as pants and skirts with a key.
[0004]
In some cases, the key is carried in a bag or the like, but in such cases, the key is hidden by other belongings in the bag when necessary, or the key has fallen to the bottom of the bag and can be easily found. Inconvenience arises, such as having to hunt the inside of the bag for a while. These inconveniences can be frustrating when you are in a hurry without time.
[0005]
On the other hand, apart from the above-mentioned inconvenience of possessing a key, it is often heard that a problem arises due to forgetting to possess a key. For example, in an apartment house or apartment complex, the inconvenience of moving to a parking lot with lots of luggage and finally noticing that you forgot the key of the car in front of the car and having to return to your home again is an everyday problem. It is a lot of experience.
[0006]
A particular problem with a car key is the so-called "closing" of locking the door while leaving the key inside the car when parking on the road. If this "trapping" is performed, various serious problems such as "scratching the car", "paying a fee to a specialist", "delaying on the promised time", etc. can not be overlooked. Become.
[0007]
For this reason, measures have been considered to hide the spare key in a predetermined place of the vehicle so as not to be disturbed by the "closed", and a dedicated holding device for the spare key having a magnet has been provided. However, hiding the spare key in the car may cause a more serious incident such as theft of the car, and cannot be executed easily.
[0008]
By the way, in order to solve the various problems described above, it is conceivable to attach a key to a portable item that is always carried when going out, such as a mobile phone or a wallet. As such a key holding tool, a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-46135 has been proposed. The technology according to the present invention is configured such that a bag-like member for supporting a key grip portion is provided at a distal end portion of a strap, and the key is suspended from a portable device together with the strap with the key insertion portion exposed. Things.
[0009]
However, as disclosed in this publication, providing a key to a predetermined portable article has the following various problems.
In other words, today's mobile phones, wallets and other mobile products are all about fashion, rather than performance and convenience, and many young people and women are choosing designs, brands, They fully consider the colors and so on, and prefer to buy expensive and gorgeous portable goods according to the change of fashion.
On the other hand, a "key" does not have any fashionability for its original purpose, that is, to prevent crimes such as "theft" and "peeping". In other words, the key constitutes one part of the machine. It is just an innocent metal part, and its shape does not change even if the fashion changes.
[0010]
For this reason, it is rare that a key is held in a portable item even if it is convenient to hold a “key” for a predetermined portable item. Since the insertion portion is exposed, this aesthetic problem has not been solved at all.
[0011]
On the other hand, apart from the above-mentioned problem, since the key is sharply formed at the tip by a strong metal, it is very dangerous to carelessly hold the key so that it hangs on the portable device. For example, when carrying a portable device holding a key in a breast pocket or the like, if the body is pushed strongly in a crowded train or at the entrance of a crowded venue, or when falling while walking, the tip of the key If you turn to the key, it can become a weapon and cause serious damage to your body, so it should be evoked.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The strap with a lock according to the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problem by attaching a key to a predetermined portable article and always using the strap as a strap. The key-equipped strap includes a key and a key holding strap for accommodating the key.
The key includes an insertion portion and a grip formed integrally with the insertion portion, and the key is configured to have substantially the same width as the insertion portion.
In addition, the key holding strap includes a locking string formed of an annular string member for attaching the strap with a key to a predetermined portable product, and both ends of the locking string so that the locking string is annular. A connecting member to be fixed, the connecting member is connected to the connecting member so as to face the locking string, and has a longitudinal key storage hollow portion capable of sufficiently storing the entire key therein, and one or more key storing hollow portions are provided. And a storage strap that allows the key to be attached and detached or that supports the key grip and allows the insertion portion to protrude.
When a key is needed, the key is taken out from the key holding strap and used.
[0013]
On the other hand, the strap with a key is constituted by a key, a key holder for storing the key, and strap means for supporting the key holder.
The key includes an insertion portion and a grip formed integrally with the insertion portion, and the key is configured to have substantially the same width as the insertion portion.
In addition, the strap means fixes a locking string formed of an annular string member for attaching the strap with a key to a predetermined portable product, and fixes both ends of the locking string so that the locking string becomes annular. And a strap connected to the connecting member so as to face the locking string or to the connecting member via the key holder.
The key holding body is connected to the connecting member or the tip of the strap via a predetermined connecting means, and has a longitudinal key storage hollow portion capable of sufficiently storing the entire key therein. And one or more keys can be attached and detached, or the insertion portion can be protruded by supporting the grip portion of the key.
Thus, when the key is needed, the key is taken out from the key holder and made usable, thereby solving the above conventional problem.
[0014]
In addition, the one or more keys are made of a flexible material to secure higher security.
[0015]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0017]
The strap with a key is composed of a key K and a key holding strap 4 capable of storing the key K. The key holding strap 4 includes the locking cord 1, the connecting member 2, and the storage strap 3.
[0018]
The locking cord 1 is formed of an annular cord-like member (see FIG. 2) for attaching the strap with a key to a portable item. In order to attach the strap with a key to a portable device using the locking string 1, the locking string 1 is passed through a strap mounting hole provided in the portable device, and a connecting portion 2 and a storage unit (described later) are stored in the annular locking string 1. By passing the strap 3, the strap with a key can be attached to the portable item as shown in FIG.
[0019]
The connecting member 2 fixes both ends of the locking string 1 so that the locking string 1 becomes annular as shown in FIG. 2. In this example, the connecting member 2 is a cylindrical member. Is formed.
[0020]
On the other hand, the storage strap 3 is connected to the connecting member 2 via a predetermined connecting tool so as to face the locking string 1. The storage strap 3 is formed in a band shape by a flexible material such as rubber, animal skin, or resin material, and the center of the band-shaped member is always folded back to form a ring as shown in FIG. It is used in the state where it was done.
The storage strap 3 can be opened as shown in FIG. 2 if necessary by button means 6 provided near both ends.

[0025]
By attaching the strap with a key having the above-described configuration to a predetermined portable item, it can always be used in the same manner as a normal strap. That is, when taking out a portable article (mobile phone) placed in a pocket or a back, the portable article can be easily and quickly taken out by holding the storage strap 3 and pulling it up. It is also possible to hold a portable item through the wrist in the annular storage strap 3.
[0026]
On the other hand, when a key is needed, the storage strap 3 is opened as shown in FIG. 2, and the desired key K may be taken out from the key storage hollow portion and used. This makes it possible to prevent the user from forgetting to hold the key. When the key K is used as a spare key, there is no upset at the time of "locking the key" of the vehicle.
[0027]
Since the key K is completely hidden by the storage strap 3, even a person who cares about fashion can use the key K without any resistance.
[0028]
On the other hand, since the key K is completely protected and stored by the storage strap 3, even if the strap with a key is strongly pressed against the body in a crowded train or the like, or if it falls down during walking, the key K is It does not cause serious damage.
[0029]
Although the keyed strap shown in the figure shows a configuration example in which two keys can be held, a plurality of key storage hollow portions are provided so as to overlap the storage strap 3 to hold more keys. You may comprise so that it may be.
