Description

  The present invention relates to a slide fastener with a cover, and more particularly, in a slide fastener provided on an article worn by a person or an article carried by a person, and mounted on a slider of the slide fastener or a handle portion of the slider. The entire slider of the slide fastener or the entire slider and the entire handle portion of the slider can be covered, and can be fixed to the body of the article worn by the person or the article carried by the person by the fixing means. The present invention relates to a slide fastener with a covering body characterized by comprising a body.

  Conventionally, there are many cases where a slide fastener is provided on an article worn by a person or an article carried by a person. That is, there are many examples in which slide fasteners are used on the front, back and sides of the upper garment, the front of the trousers and the side of the skirt, the opening and closing part of the shoe, the opening and closing part of the bag and wallet.

  As is well known, a slide fastener is composed of a fastener body and a slider that opens and closes the fastener body, and in most cases, a handle (also referred to as a pull handle) is attached to the slider (not shown). There are many examples in which a medium such as an annular body is interposed between the slider and the handle, but these mediators may be considered to be included in either the slider or the handle in terms of configuration. In the slide fastener having such a configuration, the user usually takes the handle and moves the slider to open and close the slide fastener.

  However, the slider and handle of the slide fastener are often exposed regardless of the open / closed state of the slide fastener. For example, in the case of a slide fastener provided on clothes, shoes or bags, the wearer The handle shakes each time you walk. As you run, the shaking becomes more severe, and this handle will hit clothing, shoes, and other parts of your bag, producing an unpleasant sound. Alternatively, when the slider or the handle has a certain amount of weight, it collides with the clothes and gives an unpleasant impact.

  Furthermore, if the slider or handle of the slide fastener comes into contact with the skin, it is not only uncomfortable, but can also cause inflammation for people with weak skin. Further, in boots and the like, there are many examples in which a slide fastener or a handle of a slide fastener is caught on a stocking when attaching or detaching the boot to cause destruction of stocking fibers. Also in clothes, sliders and handles may get caught in other clothes, hindering attachment and detachment, and in extreme cases, other clothes may be damaged.

  In addition, if slide fasteners are used in shoes or clothes used in highly contaminated work, the exposed slider and handle are not only uncomfortable due to dirt and dust, but also the operation itself. It also comes in the case of trouble. The same is true for moss used in highly contaminated work. Furthermore, in the case of moss, when the slider or the handle is exposed, the slide fastener can be opened by being crowded and the contents can be stolen.

  In addition, the slider grip of the slide fastener is often picked with a finger to move the slider, so there is no operational problem for a healthy person, but for a person with a handicapped hand, The operation of picking is very difficult, and there are cases where you have to borrow a hand. As for shoes with slide fasteners, the opening and closing part can be enlarged, so it is easy to attach and detach for elderly people or people with disabilities in the feet, but for people with disabilities in the fingers, for the above reasons Since it becomes a product outside the selection range, a solution to this point is also required. This situation is also substantially the same for clothes and bags.

On the other hand, examples in which a cover body called a so-called fastener cover is provided on a slide fastener provided in clothes, shoes, etc. are already known. For example, examples given in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 below are known. ing.

  Among these, the “fastener cover” described in Patent Document 1 below attaches a fastener cover to a footwear or clothing through a gripping portion, and can cover a slider and a handle (grip) portion of a slide fastener. As an example, an example of mounting on boots, clothes and bags is disclosed.

  However, since the “fastener cover” described in Patent Document 1 is attached via a gripping part, there is a disadvantage that it can be attached only to a portion where the gripping part itself can be attached in shoes, clothes, and bags. Exist. Further, since the slider pull (grip) itself has a conventional size, the defect that it is difficult to operate for a handicapped person or an elderly person has not been improved.

  Next, “short boots that cover a fastener portion with a belt” described in Patent Document 2 below, a belt for covering is fixed to a shoe body, and most of the fastener portion including a slider is covered with the belt, The belt is fixed to the shoe main body. However, since the covering belt is fixed to the shoe main body, the structure of the shoe itself is complicated, and the handle of the slider itself is the “fastener cover” of Patent Document 1. Similarly, since it is the same size as the conventional one, the defect that it is difficult to operate for the handicapped person or the elderly has not been improved.

Finally, “Fastener cover structure” described in Patent Document 3 below attaches a cover made of rubber or resin to a slider handle, and locks the locked portion of the cover such as clothes. It is locked and fixed to the part. This will surely eliminate the shaking of the handle, but only cover part of the handle with a cover made of rubber or resin, so the slider itself is exposed. Yes, it cannot be an invention that solves the problems caused by this point. In addition, the handle (handle) is only covered with a thin rubber or resin cover, and its size is almost the same as the conventional one, so it is also difficult to operate for people with disabilities and elderly people. It cannot be a solution to the problem.

  In the invention of Solution 1 of the present invention, in a slide fastener provided on an article worn by a person or an article carried by a person, the slide fastener of the slide fastener or a handle portion of the slider is attached to the slide fastener of the slide fastener. Since the entire body or the entire slider and the entire handle part of the slider can be obscured, and the occluding body can be fixed to the body of the article worn by the person or the article carried by the person by the fixing means, Three effects can be obtained at the same time: the slider and the handle portion of the slider are fixed and simultaneously obscured, and can be easily operated even by a person with an injury to a finger or an elderly person.

  By fixing the slider and the handle portion of the slider, the slide handle portion used in clothes, shoes, and groceries no longer swings every time you walk or run.

  Furthermore, since the entire slider and the entire handle portion of the slider can be covered, the slider and the handle portion do not come into contact with the skin, so that no discomfort occurs. In addition, a person with weak skin does not trigger inflammation, and does not make it difficult to attach or detach other clothes or damage other clothes. Furthermore, when it is applied to shoes or clothes or bags used in places that are heavily soiled, the risk of the slider or handle portion being soiled or damaged is greatly reduced. In addition, since the entire slider and the entire handle portion of the slider are obscured, the risk of theft of the contents is reduced.

  In addition, since the cover is attached to the slider or the slider handle, even a handicapped person or an elderly person can grasp the larger cover itself, not the handle of the small slider, and pull it. Since the slider can be moved, it is now possible for people with disabilities and elderly people to attach and detach shoes and clothes and open and close the bag by themselves.

  The fact that the slider and the handle part of the slider are fixed and obscured at the same time, and that it is easy to operate even for people with injuries to the fingers and the elderly, can be obtained at the same time. In the so-called universal design concept of obtaining operational sensation and results, it has an extremely valuable effect, and it can be applied in a wide range of clothing and general clothing fields. This is a major feature of the basic effect of the present invention.

  In the invention of Solution 2 of the present invention, since the covering member fixing means is a hook-and-loop fastener, anyone can easily operate it. In addition, the present invention can be applied to any object as long as there is a portion to which a hook-and-loop fastener can be attached, and therefore the application range is extremely wide.

  In the invention of Solution 3 or Solution 4 of the present invention, since the means for fixing the cover is a button or hook, the effect of the invention of Solution 1 can be realized without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the design. is there. Various developments are also made using the unique design effect of buttons and hooks, that is, the characteristics of the design of the button itself if it is a button, and the hook itself is hidden in a fixed state if it is a hook. Is possible.

  In the invention of the solution 5 of the present invention, the article worn by a person is a shoe, and the invention of the solution 1, the solution 2, the solution 3, or the solution 4 is implemented in a slide fastener to be attached to the shoe. Is. As a result, since the slider and the handle portion are obscured, the slider and the handle portion are prevented from being soiled, and the situation where the slide fastener is accidentally opened due to being caught by something is also prevented. Moreover, the risk of damaging the stockings is reduced if used for boots. In addition, since the slider and the handle portion are fixed, the handle portion does not swing each time the user walks or runs, and the slide fastener does not open due to vibration.

In addition, since the cover is attached to the slider, the elderly and people with disabilities can operate the slider by grasping the large cover instead of the small handle, so the slide fastener has a wide opening and closing part. It became possible to wear the attached shoes without resistance. It should be noted that it is desirable that the fixing means is a hook-and-loop fastener for elderly people and persons with disabilities.

In the invention of the solving means 6 of the present invention, the article worn by a person is clothes, and the invention of the solving means 1, the solving means 2, the solving means 3, or the solving means 4 in the slide fastener to be attached to the clothes. To implement. As a result, since the slider and the handle portion are obscured, the slider and the handle portion do not directly touch the body, so there is no discomfort and the person with weak skin does not trigger inflammation. Furthermore, it does not get in the way of attachment or detachment due to being caught by other clothes. Or even if it is worn at a site where the soiling is severe, the risk of the slider and the handle portion being soiled or damaged is reduced. In addition, since the slider and the handle portion are fixed, the handle portion does not swing each time the user walks or runs, and the slide fastener does not open due to vibration.

Furthermore, since the obscuration body is attached to the handle portion, it is possible for the elderly and the handicapped person to operate the slider by grasping the large obscuration body instead of the small handle portion. When the present invention is applied to clothes, any of a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, and a hook can be used as a fixing means. However, when design aesthetics are regarded as important, it is desirable to use a button or hook as a fixing means rather than a hook-and-loop fastener.

In the invention of the solution 7 or the solution 8 of the present invention, the article worn by a person is a hat, a cover, or a glove, and in the slide fastener attached to the hat, the cover, or the glove, the solution 1, the solution 2, or The invention of Solution 3 or Solution 4 is carried out. As a result, since the slider and the handle portion are obscured, the slider and the handle portion do not directly touch the body, so there is no discomfort and the person with weak skin does not trigger inflammation. Furthermore, it does not get in the way of attachment or detachment due to being caught on clothes. Or even if it is worn at a site where the soiling is severe, the risk of the slider and the handle portion being soiled or damaged is reduced. In addition, since the slider and the handle portion are fixed, the handle portion does not swing each time the user walks or runs, and the slide fastener does not open due to vibration.

Furthermore, since the obscuration body is attached to the handle portion, it is possible for an elderly person or a handicapped person to operate the slider by grasping a large obscuration body instead of a small handle portion. When the present invention is applied to a hat, a cover surface, or a glove, any of a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, and a hook can be used as a fixing means. However, when design aesthetics are regarded as important, it is preferable to use buttons or hooks as fixing means rather than hook-and-loop fasteners, as in the case of clothes.

In the invention of the solution means 9 of the present invention, the article carried by a person is a moss, and the invention of the solution means 1 or the solution means 2 or the solution means 3 or the solution means 4 is implemented in a slide fastener attached to the ware. To do. As a result, since the slider and the handle portion are obscured, the slider and the handle portion do not directly touch the body, so there is no discomfort and the person with weak skin does not trigger inflammation. In addition, the risk that the contents of moss will meet theft is reduced. Or even if it is worn on a site that is heavily soiled, the risk of the slider and handle portion being soiled or damaged is also reduced. In addition, since the slider and the handle portion are fixed, the handle portion does not swing each time the user walks or runs, and the slide fastener does not open due to vibration.

Furthermore, since the obscuration body is attached to the handle portion, it is possible for the elderly and the handicapped person to operate the slider by grasping the large obscuration body instead of the small handle portion. Note that when the present invention is carried out in a bowl, any of a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, and a hook can be used as a fixing means. In moss, since the slide fastener is normally in a closed state, the hook-and-loop fastener can be sufficiently used even when the aesthetic appearance of the design is regarded as important.

In the invention of the solution 10 of the present invention, the article carried by the person is a wallet, and the invention of the solution 1, the solution 2, the solution 3, or the solution 4 is implemented in a slide fastener attached to the wallet. It is. As a result, since the slider and the handle part are obscured, the slider and the handle part are caught by other articles or pressed against other articles inside the wall or the like that accommodates the wallet. There is no damage. Further, when taking out the wallet from the bag, the slider and the handle portion are not caught by other articles and dragged to other articles.

Furthermore, since the obscuration body is attached to the handle portion, it is possible for the elderly and the handicapped person to operate the slider by grasping the large obscuration body instead of the small handle portion. When implementing the present invention in a wallet, any of a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, and a hook can be used as a fixing means. Even in a wallet, since the slide fastener is normally closed, the hook-and-loop fastener can be sufficiently used even when the aesthetic appearance of the design is regarded as important.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Example 1 is an example of the invention described in Solution 5, Example 2 is an example of the invention described in Solution 6, and Example 3 is an example of the invention described in Solution 9. This is one example.

  As shown in FIG. 6, substantially triangular hook-and-loop fasteners MF and MF are fixed to the back skin 33 of the covering 31. Further, substantially triangular surface fasteners MF and MF are also fixed to the bag BG. That is, when the slide fastener 3 is in the closed state (the state shown in FIG. 11), a substantially triangular surface fastener is formed on the surface of the bag BG at a position corresponding to the surface fasteners MF and MF fixed to the back skin 33 of the covering 31. MF and MF are fixed. In this case, if the hook-and-loop fasteners MF and MF fixed to the back cover 33 of the cover 31 are loop surfaces, the hook-and-loop fasteners MF and MF fixed to the bag BG become a hook-shaped surface (the state shown in FIG. 12). If the hook-and-loop fasteners MF and MF fixed to the back skin 33 of 31 are hook-shaped surfaces, the hook-and-loop fasteners MF and MF fixed to the bag BG become loop surfaces.

<Operation of Example 3>
The operation of the slide fastener 3 of Example 3 is as follows. First, in order to close the slide fastener 3 from the state where the slide fastener 3 is opened to some extent in FIG. 12 to the state shown in FIG. 11, in the state of FIG. Pull the slider S to the left. As a result, the slider S moves to the leftmost end. Next, if the surface fasteners MF, MF of the covering body 31 and the surface fasteners MF, MF of the bag BG are brought into contact with each other and pressed from the surface of the covering body 31, the covering is performed. The body 31 is fixed to the bag BG via the hook-and-loop fasteners MF, MF, MF, and MF. At the same time, the annular body R and the belt-shaped body 34 are folded and covered by the covering body 31, and the slider S is completely covered. This completes the process of closing the slide fastener 3.

  The process of opening the slide fastener 3 is the reverse of the above process. That is, the covering 31 is peeled from the bag BG and pulled rightward (rightward in FIG. 11). As a result, the slider S moves to the right via the belt-like body 34 and the annular body R, and the slide fastener 3 is opened. Since both the process of closing the slide fastener 3 and the process of opening the slide fastener 3 can be performed by grasping the covering body 31 with the entire hand, even for persons with disabilities and elderly people like the first and second embodiments. The slide fastener 3 can be easily opened and closed.

  As described above, the slide fastener with an obscuration body of the present invention can fix and cover the slider or the slider and the handle portion of the slider at the same time, and can be easily operated by a person with a finger disability or an elderly person. Because it has two characteristics, its application range is very wide and can be applied in every scene of daily life.
