  The present invention relates to a loop pin coupling device capable of bundling clothes, socks, etc., or inserting tags such as brand labels, price tags, material instructions, instructions for use, etc. by inserting loop pins into products.

  In general, various loop pins and loop pin combinations have been used to bind all kinds of clothing items including ties and shirts, everyday items, umbrellas, sandals, shoes, etc., and to efficiently attach brand labels, price tags, etc. to the products. Devices have been used.

  The configuration of one specific example of the loop pin 10 in the prior art will be described with reference to FIGS.

  That is, the loop pin 10 according to FIG. 12 includes a flexible filament portion 12, an insertion portion 13 having an appropriate engagement portion 16 provided at one end of the filament portion 12, and the filament portion 12. And having the insertion hole 14 for irreversibly passing the insertion portion 13 provided at the other end of the insertion portion, and engaging with the engagement portions 16 and 16 ′ of the insertion portion 13 in the insertion hole 14. A socket portion 15 provided with a pair of blade portions 17 and 17 'to be mated is provided. However, the above-described conventional loop pin 10 includes the insertion portion 13, the socket portion 15 and the socket portion 15. The filament portion 12 is usually integrally formed with a synthetic resin such as nylon, polypropylene, or polyester.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, the loop pin 10 is passed through the hole portion 410 provided in advance in the labels 400 in an arbitrary product such as a bag 200, for example, By inserting the insertion portion 13 through the hole portion 14 of the socket portion 15 having a function of inserting the filament portion 12 between the handle 300 and the main body 200 and holding the labels 400, a predetermined label is obtained. The class 400 is locked to the product 200.

  By the way, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the above-described loop pin 10 may be used alone, but in many cases, in order to improve work efficiency, the loop pin 10 as shown in FIG. A loop pin sheet 600 in which a plurality of 10 are arranged in parallel is used.

  That is, a plurality of individual loop pins 10 shown in FIG. 14 and the filament portions 12 are arranged adjacent to each other in parallel, and the plurality of insertion portions 13 or the vicinity thereof arranged close to each other and the relevant portions The plurality of socket portions 15 or the vicinity thereof have structures that are respectively connected to connection bar portions 24 and 24 ′ provided individually, and the vicinity of the insertion portion and the vicinity of the socket portion. Are further connected to each other by connecting parts 11, 11 '.

  The above-described loop pin sheet 600 is usually integrally formed of a synthetic resin such as nylon, polypropylene, polyester, etc., as with conventional loop pins.

  The loop pin sheet 600 is mounted on a loop pin coupling device 20 as shown in FIG. 15, and each time the operation lever 22 is operated, the loop pin 10 is driven out one by one to attach labels to the product. I can do it.

  FIG. 15 shows a state in which the loop pin 600 is mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20.

  FIG. 16 is a top plan view of the loop pin coupling device 20. The loop pin coupling device 20 is formed with vertical grooves 40 and 41 into which the connection bars 24 and 24 ′ of the loop pin sheet 600 are inserted on the left and right. Yes.

  Further, for example, a connection bar 24 ′ for connecting the socket portion 15 in each loop pin 10 constituting the loop pin sheet 600 is inserted into the vertical groove 40, and the insertion portion 13 is connected to the vertical groove 41. The connection bar 24 to be inserted is inserted.

  However, in the above-described conventional loop pin coupling device 20, as shown in FIG. 15, the loop pin sheet 600 is mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20 in a curved state, and the loop pins 10 are continuously connected one by one. When attaching to a specific product so as to form a closed loop together with a tag, label or price tag, the filament portion is greatly bent at the center of the filament portion 12 of the individual loop pin 10. Since there is nothing that mutually connects or fixes the filament parts between the filament parts in the other loop pins 10 arranged adjacent to each other. In other words, it is in a free state, that is, the central part of each filament part can be arbitrarily displaced and deformed. There.

  Therefore, in this state, when some tension fluctuation or some abnormal force is applied to each filament part 12, the filament part 12 including the central curved part in the free fluctuation state can be easily Displacement, deformation, or displacement occurs, and as a result, a phenomenon occurs in which the filament part comes into contact with or is entangled with the curved filament part 12 of another adjacent loop pin 10.

  As a result, when the filament portions 12 of the adjacent loop pins are entangled or fixed in contact with each other, the punched loop pin 10 is not completely fitted into the socket portion 15 and the insertion portion 13, and thereafter When the next loop pin 10 is driven out without knowing that the coupling of the loop pin 10 has not been completed, jamming occurs in the hollow guide 21 or the curved guide portion 43, and a lot of time is required for the removal operation. In addition to the problem that the work efficiency is significantly reduced, there is also a problem that the loop pin coupling device 20 becomes unusable due to a failure of the loop pin coupling device 20.

  This also has adverse effects such as a decrease in reliability of the loop pin and the loop pin coupling device, generation of defective products, and cost increase.

  On the other hand, with respect to the loop pin coupling device 20, the connection bar portion 24, as shown in FIG. Whereas the upper front plane 70 of the loop pin coupling device is provided with the insertion slits 41, 40 into which 24 'is inserted, the upper rear plane 71 of the loop pin coupling device is the front plane 70. It may be formed at a position higher than the surface.

  In the loop pin coupling device 20 having such a structure, the side wall 72 is inevitably formed at the boundary portion between the front plane 70 and the rear plane 71.

  On the other hand, as for the loop pin 10, the thing from which the length of the said filament part 12 differs according to the goods to which it is attached is used normally.

  In that case, when the loop pin sheet is mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20, the positions of the connection bar portions 24 and 24 ′ provided near both ends of the filament portion 12 and the curved shape of the central portion. As a matter of course, the distance M to the part changes for each type of the loop pin.

  On the other hand, since the structure of the loop pin coupling device 20 is specified, the distance L between the positions of the insertion slits 41 and 40 of the connection bar portion and the wall portion 72 is fixed to a specific length. Therefore, if the distance M when the loop pin sheet is bent and mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20 is shorter than the distance L, there is no problem. When the distance M is longer than the distance L, the side wall portion becomes an obstacle and cannot be mounted.

  However, as a user of the loop pin coupling device 20, it is inconvenient in operation and cost increase to separately purchase and use a loop pin coupling device suitable for a loop pin having a specific filament length. There was a problem of being connected.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described conventional problems, and in the loop pin coupling device 20, each loop pin in the loop pin sheet is mounted on the loop pin coupling device in a curved state and a launching operation is executed. However, the filament portion of each loop pin is easily and freely held in a state where the position is not displaced or fluctuated, so that the jamming phenomenon that occurs due to the entanglement between the filaments, contact fixation, etc. can be effectively prevented. Provided is a loop pin coupling device that can be prevented, and at the same time, provides a loop pin coupling device that can execute a punching operation without any problem using the same loop pin coupling device even with different types of loop pins having different filament lengths. It is in.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention basically employs a configuration as described below. That is, the first aspect of the present invention includes a filament portion, an insertion portion provided at one end portion of the filament portion, and a socket portion that irreversibly inserts and holds the insertion portion provided at the other end portion of the filament portion. A coupling device for locking a loop pin having an appropriate product to the coupling device by mounting a loop pin sheet formed by fixing the plurality of loop pins arranged in parallel. The socket portion of the loop pin is moved by the first hammering pin that moves in response to the operation of an appropriate driving means provided in the main body of the apparatus, and the second that moves in response to the operation of the driving means. By moving the insertion part of the loop pin with the punching pin, the socket part and the insertion part are moved in the front part of the main body part of the apparatus. A loop pin coupling device configured to be engaged with each other, and is mounted on the surface of the loop pin coupling device in a curved shape on a partial surface of the main body of the loop pin coupling device. A loop pin coupling device in which a pressing member for applying a pressing force in a predetermined direction to each filament portion formed in a curved shape of each loop pin constituting the loop pin sheet is disposed. As an aspect of the present invention, a loop pin having a filament part, an insertion part provided at one end part of the filament part, and a socket part for irreversibly inserting and holding the insertion part provided at the other end part of the filament part is appropriately used. A coupling device for locking to a commodity, wherein the plurality of loop pins are arranged in a plane and fixed. A first punching pin that moves in response to the operation of an appropriate driving means provided in the main body of the device, and moves the socket portion of the loop pin. The socket portion and the insertion portion are engaged with each other at the front portion of the main body portion of the device by moving the insertion portion of the loop pin by the second hammering pin that moves in response to the operation of When the individual loop pins are driven out by using the loop pin coupling device configured to cause the loop pin coupling device to be mounted on the surface of the loop pin coupling device in a curved shape on a part of the surface of the main body of the loop pin coupling device. Each filament pin formed in a curved shape of each loop pin constituting the loop pin sheet is configured to displace the filament portion. A loop pin coupling method configured to apply a pressing force.

  Since the loop pin coupling device according to the present invention employs the above-described technical configuration, each loop pin in the loop pin sheet is mounted on the loop pin coupling device in a curved state in the loop pin coupling device 20. Even when a punching operation is executed, the filament portion of each loop pin is easily and freely held in a state where the position is not displaced or fluctuated. It is possible to effectively prevent the jamming phenomenon, and at the same time, there is a loop pin coupling device that can execute a punching operation without any problem using the same loop pin coupling device even with different types of loop pins having different filament lengths. It has the effect of being easily obtained.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of a specific example of the loop pin coupling device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  That is, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are diagrams showing a configuration of a specific example of the loop pin coupling device 20 according to the present invention, in which a filament portion 12 and an insertion portion provided at one end portion of the filament portion 12 are shown. 13 and a coupling device 20 for locking a loop pin 10 having a socket portion 15 that irreversibly inserts and holds the insertion portion 13 provided at the other end of the filament portion 12 to an appropriate product, A loop pin sheet 600 in which the plurality of loop pins 10 are arranged and fixed in parallel is mounted on the coupling device 20, and an appropriate driving means 22 provided in the main body of the device 20 is used. The socket portion 15 of the loop pin 10 is moved by the first hammering pin that moves in response to the operation, and the second that moves in response to the operation of the driving means 22 By moving the insertion portion 13 of the loop pin 10 with a punching pin, the socket portion 15 and the insertion portion 13 are engaged with each other at the front portion of the main body portion 33 of the device 20. The loop pin coupling device 20, and the loop pin mounted in a curved shape on the surface 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20 at a partial surface 27 of the main body 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20. A loop pin in which a pressing member 30 having a function of deforming a curved shape originally intended to be formed by the filament portion 12 is arranged on each filament portion 12 formed in a curved shape of each loop pin 10 constituting the sheet 600. A coupling device 20 is shown.

  The detailed configuration of the loop pin coupling device 20 in the present invention described above is substantially the same as the configuration of the conventional example described in [Patent Document 1] to [Patent Document 4] as shown in FIG. The detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Also, the structure of the loop pin 10 and the loop pin sheet 600 used in the present invention is the conventionally known loop pin 10 and loop pin sheet 600 as shown in FIG. Therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  It is desirable that the pressing member 30 used in the present invention has a function of applying a biasing force in a direction different from the axial direction of the filament portion 12 to each filament portion 12.

  That is, the pressing members 30 according to the present invention are arranged on the upper surface of the loop pin coupling device 20 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, so that the loop pin sheets 600 are arranged in parallel to each other. A plurality of fillers 12 arranged as shown by dotted lines in FIG. 1 and the plan view of the loop pin coupling device 20 shown in FIG. 2A are forcibly brought into contact with the pressing member 30, thereby being bent. Since the fillers 2 arranged in the above are pressed so as to be displaced in the width direction of the loop pin coupling device 20, the curved portion of each filament portion 12 is normally a normal curve indicated by a dotted line X. Since the twisted state is formed between the plurality of adjacent fillers 12 constituting the loop pin sheet 600 at the same time as being deformed from the state to the curved state indicated by the solid line Y, the adjacent state is adjacent to each other. When the other loop pins 10 are individually driven out, the phases of the other loop pins 10 in the other loop pins 10 are out of phase with each other and the mutual adhesive state, joined state, engaged state, entangled state, etc. are eliminated. In addition, since the impact is not affected by the filament parts 12 adjacent to each other, and it is driven out smoothly without the risk of jamming, the working efficiency is improved, and the occurrence of waste of the loop pin 10 is reduced. Since the occurrence of failure of the loop pin coupling device 20 is reduced, the economy is improved.

  FIG. 2B is a front view of the loop pin coupling device 20.

  In addition, the pressing member 30 in the present invention may have a flat surface portion 31 that contacts the filament portion 12, and in that case, the longitudinal axis of the main body portion 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20. It is desirable that the plane portion 31 is arranged along the direction O that intersects with N at an appropriate angle θ.

  Thereby, a predetermined bias force F is applied to each filament portion 12.

  As is clear from the above description, at least a part of the pressing member 30 in the present invention is on the surface 27 of the main body 33 on which the loop pin sheet 600 is mounted, In addition, it is desirable that each filament part 12 constituting the loop pin sheet 600 is disposed in the planned position S where the curved part 28 is originally formed, and thereby the normally formed curved part of the filament part 12 is formed. The shape X of the part is displaced or deformed as indicated by the solid line Y.

  In other words, the pressing member 30 according to the present invention makes contact with each filament portion 12 constituting the loop pin sheet 600 and applies a biasing force that displaces or deforms each filament portion 12 in a predetermined direction. It is desirable to have a flat surface portion 31 that has a function of being applied to the longitudinal axis N and intersects the longitudinal axis N of the main body portion 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20 at a predetermined angle θ.

  The material or overall structure of the pressing member 30 in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably composed of a metal material or a plastic material, and at least the pressing member 30 It is necessary that the flat portion 31 described above is provided at the contact portion with the filament portion 12.

  In the present invention, the height, thickness, width of the pressing member 30 or the crossing angle θ of the flat surface portion 31 with respect to the longitudinal axis N of the main body portion 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20 is appropriately selected and determined. It is possible to do.

  On the other hand, the flat surface portion 31 of the pressing member 30 according to the present invention reduces the contact area with each filament portion 12 constituting the loop pin sheet 600, and the filament portion 12 and the pressing member 30. The contact friction generated between the flat portion 31 and the flat portion 31 is reduced, and the surface of the flat portion 31 is smoothly slid even while the filament portion 12 of the loop pin 10 receives the bias force. It is also desirable that a friction reducing mechanism 32 that functions in the above is provided.

  In the present invention, the flat surface portion 31 at the contact portion of the pressing member 30 with the filament portion may be simply formed in a uniform flat shape. The mechanism 32 for reducing the contact area with the filament portion may be a surface including one or a plurality of shapes selected from, for example, a concave portion, a convex portion, a groove portion, a flange portion, a flange portion, and the like. Alternatively, it may be a satin or fine concavo-convex pattern.

  As another specific example of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the pressing member does not have a flat portion that comes into contact with the filament portion 12, but makes point contact with the filament portion 12. It may have a structure which can be obtained.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the pressing member 301 has a rod shape that allows a point of contact such as a circular, elliptical, or semicircular shape in which a portion in contact with the filament portion 12 has a curved shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the pressing member 302 has a continuous portion such as a protrusion, a corner or the like in contact with the filament portion 12 as shown in FIG. It may be constituted by a prismatic member having a line part so as to be in point contact with the filament part 12.

  Alternatively, the pressing member can use a part of a portion formed integrally with the main body portion 33 on the upper surface portion 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20.

  The pressing member 30 according to the present invention is preferably configured to be detachably attached to the upper surface portion 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20 using an appropriate known mechanism. It is an example.

  In the present invention, the pressing member 30 is made of an optimal material according to the loop pin sheet 600 mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20, and has an optimal shape, height, thickness or width. Therefore, a plurality of types of pressing members 30 are prepared in advance, and an appropriate pressing member 30 is selected according to the type of the loop pin 10 to be used. It is also preferable to be able to mount and replace.

  The height of the pressing member 30 used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but if the height of the pressing member 30 is too short, the above-described effects are not exhibited, and the halfway height Then, since each filament part 12 of the loop pin sheet 600 descends during the operation of driving the loop pin 10, the filament part 12 protrudes outside the pressing member 30 at that time, and the Since it may be impossible to punch out the loop pin 10, the height of the loop pin 10 needs to be at least 0.5 cm higher than the surface portion 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20.

  And when the said press member 30 requires the height beyond it, as shown to FIG. 4 (A) and FIG. 4 (B), at least the upper end part 67 of the said press member 30 is the said loop pin coupling device. It is desirable to design the entire pressing member 30 to be inclined outward or at least partly bend outward so as to be displaced in a direction toward the outer portion of the member 20.

  Further, the pressing member 30 is displaced on the upper surface portion 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20 so as to be provided at an arbitrary position in the direction along the longitudinal axis N of the main body portion of the loop pin coupling device 20. It is also desirable to be able to configure.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the pressing member 30 according to the present invention has a length of the loop pin 10 to be used, that is, the filament portion 12 constituting the loop pin 10 in a curved shape. It is necessary to determine an optimal arrangement position in relation to the distance of the length M of the curved portion when mounted on the upper portion of the loop pin coupling device 20. It is desirable that the surface portion 27 is configured so as to be appropriately detachable at a plurality of positions in a direction along the longitudinal axis N of the main body portion of the loop pin coupling device 20.

  In the present invention, as shown in the conventional example of FIG. 10, the loop pin coupling device 20 has a side wall portion 72 formed on the rear end plane portion 71 of the plane portion 27 of the main body portion 33. In the case of 20, depending on the position of the side wall 72, instead of separately attaching the pressing member 30 detachably, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (D), the side wall It is also possible to design the vertical surface of the portion 72 so that a surface portion 75 having a predetermined angle θ with respect to the longitudinal axis N in the main body portion 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20 is formed.

  Further, the surface portion 75 does not have to be formed over the entire width of the loop pin coupling device 20, and as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6D, the loop pin coupling is performed from the middle of the surface portion 75. It is also possible to form so as to form a surface portion 76 parallel to the central axis N of the device 20.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6E, a part of the side wall 72 is used as it is, and the upper portion of the loop pin coupling device 20 is combined with the surface 76 described above. It is also possible to form a corner portion 77 on the surface portion 27 surface and use the corner portion 77 as a specific example of the pressing member 30 having a function of making point contact with the filament portion 12.

  In such a specific example, as shown in FIG. 6C, it is also preferable to provide a filament portion guide member 78 having an appropriate shape in the vicinity of the corner portion 77 and on the plane portion 71.

  It is desirable that at least a part of the outer peripheral edge portion of the filament portion guide member 78 is formed with a rounded portion or a curved portion, whereby the filament portion guide member 78 descends from above the upper plane 71 of the loop pin coupling device 20. It is possible to smoothly move the filament portion 12 of each loop pin so that the corner portion 77 can reliably make point contact with the constituent pressing member 30.

  On the other hand, when the loop pin sheet 600 including the loop pin 10 used in the present invention is mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20, as one aspect, the loop pin sheet forms a flat surface. Each filament portion 12 of 600 may be bent and mounted so as to exhibit a curved shape. As another aspect, the loop pin sheet 600 is mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20. It is also possible to use what is shaped in advance so as to bend each filament portion 12 of the loop pin sheet 600 forming a flat surface before it is bent.

  Furthermore, as a third aspect, before the loop pin sheet 600 is mounted on the loop pin coupling device 20, each filament portion 12 of the loop pin sheet 600 that forms a flat surface is bent in advance. The socket portion 15 and the insertion portion 13 at both ends of each filament portion 12 are fixed in a state where they are close to each other, and the filament portion 12 is pre-shaped so as to exhibit a curved shape. It may be the one that is installed.

  Further, as a fourth aspect, the loop pin sheet 600 includes two connection bar portions 24 and 24 ′ that mutually connect the plurality of filament parts 12 constituting the loop pin sheet 600. The two connection bar portions are arranged close to each other, and are fixed in a state where the phases are shifted from each other in the longitudinal axis direction of the connection bar portions, and the filament portions are pre-shaped so as to exhibit a curved shape. It may be one that carries what is.

  As a specific example of the loop pin coupling device 20 used in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the loop pin sheet provided on the upper end surface 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20 is shown. Two connection bar portion insertion slit portions 40 and 41 for individually inserting two connection bar portions 24 and 24 ′ that mutually connect a plurality of filament portions 12 constituting 600 are provided on the same plane 27. Is provided.

  On the other hand, as another specific example of the loop pin coupling device 20 in the present invention, as shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-131967 for which the applicant of the present application has already applied for a patent, FIG. Two connection bar portions 24 and 24 for connecting the plurality of filament portions 12 constituting the loop pin sheet 600 provided on the upper end surface 27 of the loop pin coupling device 20 shown in FIG. The two connecting bar portion insertion slit portions 40 and 41 for individually inserting 'may be provided on individual planes 73 and 74 having different heights.

  In such a specific case, in many cases, as shown in FIG. 7, a portion 71 having a height higher than the flat surface portion 73 of the loop pin coupling device 20 is present at the rear portion of the loop pin coupling device 20. Since the wall 72 having a fixed position is formed as described above, the length M when the loop is formed by the loop pin is determined by the connection bar. Only a portion having a length equal to or less than the distance L between the position of the insertion slit 40 of the portion and the wall portion 72 can be used, and when other loop pins are used, a loop pin having another dimension of the L The coupling device 20 must be used, but the wall portion 72 is formed with the pressing surface 75 or the point contact portion 77 as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) to 6 (C) or the like. In front of wall 72 By using the pressing member of the present invention in a detachable or fixed manner, any loop pin having any length can be driven out freely and efficiently using the same loop pin coupling device 20. In addition, it is possible to obtain the loop pin coupling device 20 without jamming without causing entanglement between the filament portions adjacent to each other.

  The configuration of the driving means 22 in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the grip portion 23 provided in the loop pin coupling device 20 and the driving means 22 It is also a desirable specific example that it is configured with a grip lever 22 pivotally supported by the grip portion 23.

  As shown in FIG. 9, an appropriate protrusion 79 is provided on at least a part of the peripheral edge of the pressing member 30, and the protrusion 79 is formed on the surface portion of the loop pin coupling device 20 main body. The pressing member 30 is detachably attached to the loop pin coupling device 20 by being inserted and fixed into an appropriate hole or recess (not shown) provided at least in part.

  Moreover, the round part 81 may be provided in the at least one part edge part 80 of the said press member 30 in this invention, Furthermore, the at least one part edge of the said press member 30 may be sufficient as it. It is also desirable that the portion 80 is formed with a tapered portion 82 whose thickness increases from the end edge portion 80 toward the inside of the pressing member 30.

  As still another specific example of the present invention, the configuration of a further improved specific example of the specific example shown in FIG. 7 is shown in FIGS.

  In this specific example, the loop pin coupling device 20 having the configuration shown in FIG. 7 is added to the corner 77 as the pressing member 30 which is one configuration example of the pressing member 30 shown in FIG. It has a structure in which the configured point contact type pressing member and the filament guide member 78 are introduced.

  As a feature in this specific example, a lower end portion 85 of the corner portion 77 of the pressing member 30 is extended to a position 86 close to a plane on which the second driving pin slides. As a result, a part of the filament portion connected to the insertion portion 13 in the filament portion 12 of the loop pin 10 is substantially parallel to a plane on which the second launch pin slides. As shown in FIG. 11, since the disturbance of the filament portion is reduced when the insertion portion 13 is driven, the punching failure and the jamming phenomenon caused thereby are prevented.
