Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tool holder which has a tough connection structure appropriate to the strength of a base plate and a tool storage portion under the circumstances that a conventional tool holder rarely becomes unusable due to aged abrasion and deterioration of component members such as a base plate, a tool storage portion, and a hook portion onto a belt, but actually due to unreasonable push-in of tools, frequent and rough put-in/take-out of the tools, etc. , resulting in deterioration at a joint portion between a storage opening and the base plate, separation of the joint portion from a rivet, and raveling of a seam. <P>SOLUTION: The new tool holder is produced by folding back an upper end of the base plate to a rear surface, securing the upper end to the base plate to form a belt insertion portion, arranging a curved wide plate body on a lower side of the base plate, and sewing and riveting the former and the latter together to form the tool storage portion. Then leather reinforcing plates are arranged at rivet mounting portions of both upper edges of the tool storage portion, so as to be astride front and rear surfaces of the base plate or so as be laid on the front and rear surfaces individually from each other. Each rivet pinches all of the base plate, the tool storage portion, and the two reinforcing plates and fixes the same to each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a structure of a tool holder that suspends hand-held tools such as pliers, pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches, spanners, and the like in a state where they can be easily taken out and stored.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a tool holder (also called a tool holder or a tool holder) for hanging a frequently used hand-held tool on the waist and carrying it. These are attached to the trouser belt worn by the operator, etc., and the normal structure is that the tool storage part is sewn and riveted to a base plate made of leather or a tough material instead of this. .

In many cases, the lower portion of the tool storage portion is opened so that the length of the tool to be stored can be accommodated. Specifically, it is applied to the base plate in a state where the belt-like body is curved, and the gap for tool insertion is formed by sewing and riveting both ends. In the case of a plurality of storage types, the gap is further fractionated by stitching in the vertical direction.

  The hand-held tools stored in this tool holder are generally made of metal, and since there are many cases where the tools are inserted and removed roughly, the base plate and the tool storage section require high strength and are made of tough materials. Has been. For that reason, in the case of a good quality tool holder that is favored by workers, the material itself such as the base plate, the tool storage part, or the locking part to the belt itself will deteriorate due to wear over time and can no longer be used. It is rare.

However, the connection between the base plate and the tool storage part, especially the upper end of the tool storage part, excessive force is repeatedly applied around the rivet due to excessive push-in during tool storage or rough removal, and the rivet comes off from the tool storage part. I often hear of cases where the stitched part breaks down and can no longer be used. For these reasons, there has been a demand for a strong connection portion structure that matches the strength of the base plate and the tool storage portion.
JP-A-2005-014142

  In view of the above, the present inventor finally made the present invention as a result of intensive research for many years. The feature of the present inventor is that the upper end is folded back to the back side and the end is fixed to form a belt passing portion. A tool holder in which a wide plate-like body is curved and disposed at a lower position of a plate and both are stitched and riveted to form a tool storage portion, and at least rivet attachments at both upper ends of the tool storage portion Regarding the position, a leather-like reinforcing plate is arranged over the front and back surfaces of the base plate, or on each of the front and back surfaces of the base plate, and the rivet sandwiches all of the base plate, the tool storage section, and the two reinforcing plates. It is in the point fixed.

  That is, the present invention is the invention characterized in that the leather-like reinforcing plates are arranged on the front and back surfaces of the base plate in order to reinforce the rivets at both upper ends of the tool storage portion under the most severe conditions.

Here, the “base plate” is a member having a belt passing portion at the upper portion and a tool storage portion at the lower portion, and it is preferable to employ a material having high strength and strength. For example, various material forms such as leather, fiber cloth, and a multilayer structure in which the front and back of the core material are covered with fiber cloth can be employed.
The base plate itself may be flat, but it is preferable that the base plate be slightly curved (curved outwardly) so as to follow the body when suspended from the operator's waist belt. The size of the base plate varies depending on the type and quantity of tools to be stored.

  Further, the “belt threading portion” formed on the upper portion of the base plate is formed by folding the upper end portion toward the back surface and fixing the end portion. On the other hand, the width of the belt passing portion itself is sufficient if it is about 10 cm, and if it is too long, it is difficult to fit the body, which is not preferable. Therefore, when storing a plurality of tools, it is preferable that the base plate has a shape with a narrowed upper part. In order to prevent the insertion and removal of the tool, the belt passing part is formed by folding the upper end of the base plate to the back side, but when this upper end is fixed by, for example, riveting, the front of the rivet is displayed. Pay attention to the protrusion to the side. It is conceivable to make the protrusion itself small, or to arrange a rivet immediately above the partitioning part for fractionation in the case of a plurality of storage type. Further, if an anti-slip treatment is applied to the inner surface of the belt passing portion, the tool holder of the present invention is less likely to slip on the operator's trouser belt, which is more preferable. Examples of the anti-slip treatment include a method in which a rubber solution dissolved in a solvent is applied and volatilized and solidified, and a method in which a member having a high frictional resistance is installed by sewing or adhesion.

  In the case of the present invention, the “tool storage portion” is formed integrally with the base plate in a state where a wide plate-like body is curved. The tool is stored and held in a gap formed by contacting the curved object with the base plate. Since the gap communicates in the vertical direction, it is better to make the lower opening area narrower than the upper side so that the tool does not fall out, but there are few simple rod-shaped tools and there is a concern that they will easily fall out There is no. The present invention is not particularly limited with respect to the material of the tool storage portion, and various types of materials can be employed as in the case of the base plate.

  When a fiber cloth is used for the material of the “base plate” and the “tool storage portion”, it is preferable to reinforce the entire circumference of the base plate and the upper and lower ends of the tool storage portion by piping. This piping improves wear resistance and deformation resistance at the periphery of the base plate and at the upper and lower ends of the tool storage portion. However, it is more preferable that the rivet shaft is inserted here so as to be used as a rivet base.

The “leather-like reinforcing plate” is the greatest characteristic part of the present invention, and is a member that is disposed at least at the attachment positions of the rivets on the left and right of the upper end of the tool storage unit. “Leather-like” means a flexible plate-like body having a certain thickness, and includes natural leather, artificial leather, plastic sheet, and the like. The leather-like reinforcing plate is disposed over the front and back surfaces of the base plate or on each of the front and back surfaces of the base plate. In the case of covering the front and back surfaces, one reinforcing plate is set so as to be sandwiched between the base plates in a bent state, and naturally two reinforcing plates are required when arranged on the front and back surfaces. On the base plate, it is preferably arranged by sewing, but it may be an adhesive.

  The tool holder according to the present invention is an extremely advanced invention having the following effects.

(1) Since the rivets that are struck at the upper end positions of the tool storage section, which are likely to deteriorate and break down over time, are reinforced by the reinforcing plates placed on the front and back surfaces of the base plate, they are easily damaged even if they are handled roughly. do not do.
(2) Since the portion that is most likely to be damaged by deterioration is reinforced by a leather-like reinforcing plate, other members can be used even if inexpensive materials are somewhat inferior in strength.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a tool holder 1 (hereinafter referred to as “present invention holder 1”) according to the present invention. As is clear from the figure, the holder 1 of the present example can store three hand-held tools, and a single wide plate-like body 2 is curved and brought into contact with the base plate 3 in the vertical direction. Two storage areas 21, 22, and 23 are formed by stitching two lines together. A belt threading portion 4 is provided at the top. The belt threading portion 4 is formed by folding the upper portion of the base plate 3 to the back side and riveting the end portion thereof, and as an anti-slip process on the inner surface, the anti-slip cloth tape 5 sewn while exposing the raw rubber thread. (Products used inside the waist of trousers and skirts: indicated by chain lines) are installed by stitching.

  The base plate 3 and the plate-like body 2 are joined by stitching and riveting. In the case of this example, the rivets 6 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the left and right ends of the plate-like body 2 and the upper and lower ends of each of the two stitched portions for dividing and forming the three storage areas 21, 22, 23. ing. Of these, the upper and lower four rivets 6 at the left and right ends of the plate-like body 2 are accompanied by leather reinforcing plates 7. The leather reinforcing plate 7 is provided over the back side of the base plate 3 although the back side is not visible in the figure.

  In this example, a multilayer structure is used as the material of the plate-like body 2 and the base plate 3. An outline in which a part of the base plate 3 is cut out is shown in FIG. That is, the felt cloth 11 is used as a core material, and the fiber cloths 12 and 12 are bonded and integrated thereto. Further, the outer peripheral edge portion was sewn together by staggered stitches A. By adopting such a multi-layer structure, properties such as flexibility, stiffness and shape retention are close to those of natural leather. However, although it depends on the type of fiber cloth to be used, the wear resistance of the surface of each member is generally slightly inferior to that of natural leather. However, since the leather reinforcing plate 7 is provided in the present invention, the product life is longer than that of a conventional natural leather tool holder.

  Next, FIGS. 3A to 3C schematically show a process example of manufacturing the holder 1 of the present invention using the plate-like body 2 and the base plate 3 formed of the multilayer structure shown in FIG. It is shown. The following process examples themselves do not limit the present invention, and other methods may be used.

  First, an anti-slip cloth tape 5 woven with raw rubber yarn is sewn on the upper back surface of the base plate 3 (the staggered stitch A is completed but not shown in the figure). In the figure, the upper part of the base plate 3 is bent to the back side, but it is not actually bent. Further, the leather reinforcing plate 7 folded in half is fitted into the base plate 3, and the peripheral edge is sewn [FIG. 3 (a)]. The vicinity of the upper end of the folded base plate 3 is riveted, but the peripheral edge is not subjected to piping treatment at the stage of FIG. The leather reinforcing plate 7 in the unfolded state and the folded state is shown by a chain line.

  Next, the plate-like body 2 curved in advance according to the design is set on the base plate 3 [(b) in the figure]. At this time, the plate-like body 2 has already been subjected to piping with the bias tape 8 at its upper and lower ends. Drawing of the sewing thread for piping is omitted.

  Subsequently, in the state where the plate-like body 2 is in contact with the base plate 3, two middle portions of the plate-like body 2 are sewn in the vertical direction, and at the same time, the bias tape 8 is applied to the entire periphery of the base plate 3. Piping is performed [(c) in the figure].

  Finally, eight rivets 6 and two rivets 9 are provided. All of the rivets 6 are fixed through the bias tape 8 (eight), and the upper and lower four rivets 6 further penetrate the leather reinforcing plate 7. At this time, if a rivet 9 (same as the rivet 6) for forming the belt passing portion 4 is also attached, the overall shape as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained, and the holder of the present invention is completed.

Although the present invention has been described so far by taking the tool holder having three storage zones as an example, it goes without saying that the number of storage is not limited to three.
