Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tab capable of improving the operability of a slider by eliminating such inconvenience that it is difficult to open a zipper by erecting the tab if a free end of the tab of the slider is laid on the engaged teeth when the zipper is closed. <P>SOLUTION: The tab 4 is a plate body whose proximal end is swingably supported to the slider 3 of the zipper. The tab is curved in such a way that the surface facing the engaged teeth 2 and 2 is convex when the zipper is closed, so that a gap 5 is created between the teeth 2 and 2 engaged when the zipper is closed and the free end of the tab 4. By inserting a fingertip into the gap 5, the tab 4 can be easily erected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

この発明は、ファスナーのスライダの摘み（以下単に摘みという）に係り、特に、スライダの操作性を向上させ得る摘みに関する。 The present invention relates to a knob of a fastener (hereinafter simply referred to as a knob), and more particularly to a knob that can improve the operability of the slider.

ファスナーは、下記特許文献１の図２、又はこの明細書に添付した図１に示すように、テープ１の側端縁に沿って止着された務歯（むし）２、２をスライダ３によって相互に噛み合わせることによってテープ１、１を並列に連結し、或いは、噛み合った務歯２、２を掻き分けるようにして分離するもので、衣服や鞄等に装着されることは周知である。 As shown in FIG. 2 of the following Patent Document 1 or FIG. 1 attached to this specification, the fastener is configured such that service teeth (pigs) 2 and 2 fixed along the side edge of the tape 1 are moved by a slider 3. It is well known that the tapes 1 and 1 are connected in parallel by meshing with each other, or the engaged teeth 2 and 2 are separated so as to be separated and attached to clothes or a bag.

そして、上記スライダ３は、一端（図１に示すものは下端）をスライダに揺動可能に支承された摘み４を介して操作される。
特開２００３−２２５１０２ The slider 3 is operated via a knob 4 that is supported at one end (the lower end shown in FIG. 1) so that the slider 3 can swing.
JP2003-225102A

上記摘み４は、スライダ３を操作しないときには、その他端（図１に示すものは上端）を閉じた務歯２、２に接触させるようにしてファスナー上に倒伏する。 When the slider 4 is not operated, the knob 4 lies on the fastener so that the other end (the upper end shown in FIG. 1) is in contact with the closed service teeth 2 and 2.

そして、例えばズボンのファスナーの場合には、上記ファスナーを覆う布地が重なるので、例えば着替えや用便等のためファスナーを開くとき、上記摘み４を起こさねばならないが、上記したように摘みの他端（自由端）はファスナー上に倒伏しているので、摘みを起こすにはその自由端の厚さ（摘みの厚さ）分の僅かな段部に指や爪先を掛けなければならず、例えば図２に示すように、紳士がファスナーを開けるため苦労している場面をよく目にする。 For example, in the case of a trouser fastener, since the fabric covering the fastener overlaps, for example, when opening the fastener for changing clothes or stool, the knob 4 must be raised, but as described above, the other end of the knob Since the (free end) is lying down on the fastener, a finger or toe must be hung on the slight step of the thickness of the free end (thickness of the knob) in order to raise the knob. As shown in Figure 2, I often see a scene where a gentleman is struggling to open a zipper.

また、この不都合はズボンに限らず、例えばジャンパー等の上半身に纏う衣服、或いは鞄等のファスナーの場合も同様であり、更に、冬季手袋をはめているときにも同様である。 This inconvenience is not limited to trousers, but is the same for clothes such as a jumper or a zipper such as a bag, and is also the same when wearing winter gloves.

更にまた、これは発明者が実際にクリーニング屋に聞いた話であるが、クリーニングのためズボンのファスナーを開けるとき摘みの自由端を先にしてファスナーを開き、その侭摘みをファスナーを覆う布地に突っ込んでしまうと、これを元に戻すために大変苦労をするそうである。 Furthermore, this is the story that the inventor actually asked the cleaning shop. When opening the trouser fastener for cleaning, the fastener is opened first with the free end of the trousers, and the heel knob is placed on the fabric covering the fasteners. If it rushes, it seems that it will be very difficult to get it back.

そこで、この発明は、上記した不都合が生じない摘みを提供し、スライダの操作性を向上させることを目的としている。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a knob that does not cause the above-described disadvantages and to improve the operability of the slider.

上記の目的を達成するため、請求項１に記載の発明は、基端をファスナーのスライダに揺動可能に支承された板状体であって、ファスナーを閉じたとき、噛み合った務歯に対向する側の面を凸になるように湾曲させたことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention described in claim 1 is a plate-like body whose base end is pivotably supported by a slider of the fastener, and faces the engaged tooth when the fastener is closed. The surface on the side to be curved is curved so as to be convex.

また、請求項２に記載の発明は、基端をファスナーのスライダに揺動可能に支承された板状体であって、その自由端部の、ファスナーを閉じたとき噛み合った務歯に対向する側を山折りしたことを特徴とする。 The invention according to claim 2 is a plate-like body whose base end is supported so as to be able to swing on the slider of the fastener, and is opposed to the engaging tooth of the free end portion when the fastener is closed. It is characterized by folding the side.

上記のように構成された請求項１及び２に記載の発明は、図３に示すように、ファスナーが閉じたとき噛み合った務歯と、摘み４の自由端との間に隙間５が生じるから、この隙間５に指先を入れれば容易に摘み４を起立させることができ、そのためスライダの操作性が向上してファスナーの使用勝手が増大する。 In the invention according to claims 1 and 2 configured as described above, a gap 5 is formed between the engagement tooth engaged when the fastener is closed and the free end of the knob 4, as shown in FIG. If the fingertip is inserted into the gap 5, the knob 4 can be easily erected, so that the operability of the slider is improved and the usability of the fastener is increased.

これは、摘み４が反対側に倒れていても、すなわち、図３での摘み４が右側に倒れていても、ファスナーと摘み４との間に三日月形の隙間（請求項１に記載の発明の場合、請求項２に記載の発明では細長い三角形）ができるので、その側端縁を摘むようにして摘み４を起立させることができる。 Even if the knob 4 is tilted to the opposite side, that is, even if the knob 4 in FIG. 3 is tilted to the right side, a crescent-shaped gap between the fastener and the knob 4 (the invention according to claim 1) In this case, a long and narrow triangle is formed in the invention described in claim 2, so that the knob 4 can be erected so as to pinch the side edge.

また、摘み４の湾曲或いは折曲げはプレス加工で簡単に形成できるので、この発明の実施は容易である。 In addition, since the bending or bending of the knob 4 can be easily formed by pressing, the present invention is easy to implement.

更にまた、例えばズボンのファスナーに本発明を適用した場合、摘みの自由端部が少し前方に突出するが、その突出は衣服全体の凹凸から見て微小であり、殆ど問題にならない、等種々の効果を奏する。 Furthermore, for example, when the present invention is applied to a trouser fastener, the free end of the knob protrudes slightly forward, but the protrusion is minute when viewed from the unevenness of the entire garment, and there is almost no problem. There is an effect.

摘みを湾曲させる、或いは折り曲げる、等の簡単に構成で、ファスナーのスライダの操作性を大幅に向上させることができた。 The operability of the slider of the fastener can be greatly improved with a simple configuration such as curving or bending the knob.

以下、図面を参照してこの発明の実施例を説明する。
図３において符号４は摘みを示し、また、同図において図１と等符号を付した部分は相互に均等な部分を示す。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 3, reference numeral 4 denotes a knob, and in FIG. 3, parts denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

図３におけるファスナーは、スライダ３を右方に動かすとき務歯２、２が相互に噛み合い、スライダ３に関し左側の務歯２、２が噛み合ってファスナーが閉じるものとする。 In the fastener in FIG. 3, when the slider 3 is moved to the right, the engagement teeth 2 and 2 mesh with each other, and the engagement teeth 2 and 2 on the left side of the slider 3 engage with each other to close the fastener.

そして、摘み４は図３に示すようにその下面、すなわち、噛み合った務歯２、２に対向する側が凸になるように湾曲している。 As shown in FIG. 3, the knob 4 is curved so that the lower surface thereof, that is, the side facing the engaged teeth 2, 2 is convex.

上記湾曲の態様は、摘み４の長さ方向（図３で左右方向）の全長にわたって同じ曲率になるように湾曲してもよいし、或いは、その自由端部（図３で右端部）のみが湾曲するようにしてもよい。 The curved form may be curved so as to have the same curvature over the entire length of the knob 4 in the length direction (left and right direction in FIG. 3), or only its free end (right end in FIG. 3). It may be curved.

上記摘み４の湾曲を形成するには、例えば摘み４が金属板の場合には、プレス加工により容易に、かつ効率良く湾曲加工を行うことができる。 In order to form the curvature of the knob 4, for example, when the knob 4 is a metal plate, the bending process can be easily and efficiently performed by pressing.

また、合成樹脂製の摘み４も公知であり、この場合は、摘み４の射出成形時に湾曲させることができる。 Further, a knob 4 made of synthetic resin is also known, and in this case, it can be bent at the time of injection molding of the knob 4.

図４は請求項２に記載の発明による摘み４を示し、この摘み４は、その自由端部の、ファスナーを閉じたとき噛み合った務歯に対向する側を山折りしてある。 FIG. 4 shows a knob 4 according to the invention described in claim 2, and this knob 4 is formed by folding the free end part of the knob 4 on the side facing the engaging tooth engaged when the fastener is closed.

この場合も、ファスナーが閉じたとき噛み合った務歯と、摘み４の自由端との間に隙間５が生じ、図３に示す請求項１に記載の発明と同じ効果を奏する。 Also in this case, when the fastener is closed, a gap 5 is generated between the engagement tooth engaged with the free end of the knob 4, and the same effect as that of the invention of claim 1 shown in FIG.

そして、上記山折の形成は従来の加工技術をその侭利用でき、その作用効果も上記した請求項１に記載の発明と同様であるから、更に詳細な説明は省略する。 The formation of the mountain folds can utilize conventional processing techniques, and the function and effect thereof are the same as those of the first aspect of the invention described above, and therefore further detailed description thereof is omitted.
