Description

  The present invention relates to a stopper, a stopper device, and a jewelry using the same, and more specifically to a fastener for a jewelry constituted by a string-like member such as a necklace or a pendant.

  In general, an accessory made up of a string-like member such as a necklace or a pendant is annularly connected by a stopper attached to both ends of the string-like member and can be attached.

  By the way, a user of this type of accessory has a desire to expand or contract the ring of the string-like member according to his / her body shape or clothes to be worn. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 are known regarding the structure of the accessory that meets this demand. In the accessory of Patent Document 1, a perforated plate (plate can) is attached to one end of a string-like member. The stopper has a cylindrical shape, and a pulling ring projects from the outer surface, and is slidably mounted on the string-like member. The accessory of Patent Document 2 has a configuration similar to that of Patent Document 1 except that the stopper is spherical.

  Certainly, according to the accessories of Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, the string-like member can be connected in an annular shape by opening and closing the pulling ring and hooking the plate can.

  However, the accessories of Patent Documents 1 and 2 have the following new problems. First, since this type of stopper is manufactured with a small size so as not to impair the aesthetics of the accessory, there is a problem that it is difficult to open and close the pulling ring and to position the pulling ring in the hole of the plate can. . In particular, since these operations are performed at an invisible position such as behind the neck when the accessory is a necklace, the difficulty of performing the operation appears remarkably.

  In addition, in the jewelry of Patent Documents 1 and 2, two parts, a plate can and a pull ring, are required to connect the string-like member in an annular shape, so the number of parts is the same as the plate can and the pull ring. To increase. In addition, since the number of work steps is increased by the work of projecting the pulling ring on the outer surface of the stopper, the cost is increased.

  Furthermore, this kind of accessory is usually attached with a spherical decorative body (decorative ball), and as shown in FIG. 9 of Patent Document 2, a configuration in which a spherical body imitating the decorative ball is attached. According to this, the number of parts is substantially increased by that much, resulting in an increase in cost.

Each of the decorative bodies 3 has a circular cross section and has a through hole 31 that passes through the center of the circle. In this type of accessory, the decorative body 3 can divert the decorative balls used for constituting a part of the string-like member 4. For example, the decorative body 3 in FIG. 4 is a spherical body having a diameter of about 4.0 to 4.2 mm, similar to the most commonly used decorative balls in string-like accessories such as necklaces and pendants. .

  The string-like member 4 constitutes an accessory as a whole by being inserted through the plurality of decorative bodies 3. The string-like member 4 can have a known structure used for accessories such as a necklace and a pendant in the technical field. An end part 6 is attached to one end of the string-like member 4 in FIG. 4 to enhance the decorative effect and prevent the decorative body 3 from coming off. In this specification, the “string-like member” includes a rope-like member or a rope-like member in which metal fibers, synthetic fibers, natural fibers, and the like are brought together for a long time. Furthermore, the linear member, the rod-shaped member, or those formed by connecting them is included. The string-like member 4 is composed of an accessory chain, etc., and the string-like member 4 itself has a decorative effect is called a necklace, and a jewelry called a pendant top is hung on the middle part of the string-like member 4 Is called a pendant.

  5 to 7, in the stopper 1, the thickness of the base portion 10 is thinner than the maximum passing dimension D <b> 2 (diameter) of the decorative body 3 as viewed in the thickness direction H. A part of the curved surface of the decorative body 3 protrudes on both sides of the decorative body 3. Regarding the coupling relationship between the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3, the decorative body 3 is press-fitted into the hole 11 according to the elasticity of the base portion 10, and the pair of support parts 12, 12 is the decorative body in the press-fitted state. 3 is sandwiched between the pair of support portions 12 and 12 by being in pressure contact with the outer surface.

  With respect to the coupling relationship between the stopper 1 and the string-like member 4, the stopper 1 is attached to one end of the string-like member 4 via a markan 41 attached to the hooking hole 16, and the end of the string-like member 4. Consists of parts. However, since the stopper 1 has a pair of hooking holes 16, 16, by attaching the string-like member 4 to each of the pair of hooking holes 16, 16, a connecting tool for the two string-like members 4. Can also be used.

  Regarding the coupling relationship between the decorative body 3 and the string-like member 4, the decorative body 3 is attached onto the string-like member 4 by inserting the string-like member 4 through the through hole 31. The plurality of decorative bodies 3 in FIG. 4 are arranged on the string-like member 4 at intervals, and are preferably hooked so as to be slidable on the string-like member 4 in the length direction.

  Regarding the coupling relationship between the stopper device 100 and the string-like member 4, the string-like member 4 is guided to each of the pair of grooves 13 and 13 with the decorative body 3 attached thereto. The string-like member 4 suspends the decorative body 3 from the hole 11 by abutting against an opening edge 111 constituting the end of the groove 13 viewed in the lateral direction W. The string-like member 4 is arranged in the lateral direction (length direction of the string-like member 4) W of the stopper 1 in a state where the decorative body 3 is coupled to the hole 11 and is suspended (the state shown in FIG. 6). Can move along.

  8 to 10 are diagrams showing a part of the coupling operation of the stopper device 100 that constitutes the accessory of FIG. FIG. 8 shows a state before wearing the accessory, and the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3 are separated. When the user wears the accessory, for example, in a state in which the string-like member 4 is suspended from the neck or wrist, the user selects one of the plurality of decorative bodies 3 attached to an appropriate position, and the selected decorative body 3 is placed in the hole 11. If it demonstrates in detail, the decoration body 3 will be mounted in the opening edge 111 in the part corresponded to a pair of support parts 12 and 12. FIG. Since the minimum delivery dimension D1 of the hole 11, in other words, the distance (D1) between the pair of support parts 12 and 12 is smaller than the maximum delivery dimension D2 of the decorative body 3, the decoration is provided unless a pressing force is applied in the press-fitting direction H 1. The body 3 does not pass through the hole 11.

  FIG. 9 shows a state after the process shown in FIG. 8, and by applying a pressing force to the decorative body 3 in the press-fitting direction H <b> 1, the decorative body 3 is separated from the pair of support portions 12 and 12. Press fit into (D1). The pressing force applied to the decorative body 3 is transmitted to the pair of support portions 12 and 12 through the inner surface 15. The elasticity of the constituent material of the base 10 and the elasticity (shape elasticity) of the pair of grooves 13 and 13 cooperate with this pressing force, elastically deform in the direction in which the opening edge 111 expands, and the distance (D1) Is expanded in the vertical direction L, so that the decorative body 3 is press-fitted into the distance (D1) between the pair of support portions 12 and 12.

  FIG. 10 shows a state after the step shown in FIG. 9, and the decorative body 3 has a ball P1 in the press-fitting direction H1, in which the portion P1 corresponding to the maximum passing dimension D2 passes through the interval (D1). The remaining portion P2 is press-fitted to about 1/3. The press-fitting position of the decorative body 3 with respect to the hole 11 is determined by the string-like member 4 inserted through the decorative body 3 coming into contact with the opening edge 111 that constitutes the end of the groove 13. In other words, the pair of grooves 13 and 13 function as a lowering stop by cooperating with the string-like member 4 in the press-fitting operation of the decorative body 3. As a result, the decorative body 3 is sandwiched between the pair of support portions 12 and 12 and is disposed in the hole portion 11 while being hung by the string-like member 4.

  In order to release the coupling state of the stopper device 100 and take out the decorative body 3 from the hole 11, an operation reverse to the coupling operation of FIGS. 8 to 10 is performed and the decorative body 3 is opposite to the press-fitting direction H1. It can be performed by applying a pressing force from the direction H2.

  According to the stopper 1, the stopper device 100, and the accessory using the stopper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10, the following effects can be obtained. First, since the stopper 1 has a single plate structure, it can be manufactured at low cost by a known sheet metal processing technique.

  Since each of the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3 constituting the stopper device 100 is attached to the string-like member 4, the user can connect the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3 to form a string-like shape. An annular portion can be formed in the middle of the member 4 and mounted.

  The stopper 1 has a minimum passing dimension D1 of the hole 11 smaller than a maximum passing dimension D2 of the decorative body 3. Therefore, the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3 can be easily operated by press-fitting the decorative body 3 into the hole 11. Can be combined. More specifically, when the decorative body 3 is press-fitted into the hole portion 11, the distance (D1) between the pair of support portions 12 and 12 is determined by the elasticity of the constituent material of the base portion 10 and the pair of groove portions 13, By cooperating with the elasticity (shape elasticity) 13, the portion P1 having the maximum delivery dimension D2 is expanded in the longitudinal direction L by receiving the pressing force from the decorative body 3, and the portion P1 is spaced apart by a distance (D1). It shrinks as the passing pressure is unloaded. As described above, according to the configuration in which the distance (D1) expands and contracts following the press-fitting position of the decorative body 3, the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3 can be connected to each other by a simple operation of press-fitting the decorative body 3 into the distance (D1). It can be reliably combined.

  The pair of support portions 12, 12 constituting the hole portion 11 is elastically deformed in a contracting direction when the portion P1 having the maximum passing dimension D2 of the decorative body 3 passes the portion having the minimum passing dimension D1, and the opening edge 111 Becomes smaller than the maximum passing dimension D2 of the decorative body 3 again. According to this configuration, the portion corresponding to the pair of support portions 12 and 12 in the opening edge 111 is prevented from coming off, and the combined decorative body 3 is in the press-fitting direction unless a pressing force is applied from the direction H2 opposite to the press-fitting direction H1. It will not drop out to H1. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the stopper 1 having an excellent binding force.

  In the stopper 1, the hole portion 11 penetrates the base portion 10, and the base portion 10 is thinner than the maximum passing dimension D <b> 2 (diameter) of the decorative body 3 viewed in the thickness direction H. According to this configuration, since the decorative body 3 is pressed into the hole 11 and a part of the curved surface protrudes to the other surface 102 side, the protruding portion is pushed with a finger, and is opposite to the press-fitting direction H1. The decorative body 3 can be taken out from the hole 11 by a simple operation of applying a pressing pressure from H2. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the stopper 1 that can be easily attached and detached.

  Regarding the coupling relationship between the stopper device 100 and the string-like member 4, the string-like member 4 is guided to each of the pair of grooves 13 and 13 with the decorative body 3 attached to the hole 11. The decorative body 3 is suspended from the hole 11 in contact with the opening edge 111 constituting the end of the groove 13. According to this configuration, even if the coupled state of the pair of support portions 12 and 12 with respect to the decorative body 3 is illegally released, the problem that the decorative body 3 falls off toward the other surface 102 is avoided. In addition, the pair of grooves 13 and 13 serve as a stopper for the press-fitting operation of the decorative body 3, and the press-fitting distance of the decorative body 3 can be regulated within an appropriate range. 100 and accessories using the same can be provided.

  The decorative body 3 can divert the decorative balls used for constituting a part of the string-like member 4 in this type of accessory. In other words, since it is not necessary to prepare the spherical body for coupling | bonding with the fastener 1 separately from the decoration body 3, the stop apparatus 100 reduces the number of parts by that much. Therefore, it is possible to provide the stopping device 100 that can be manufactured at low cost. However, there is a difference (variation) of about 4.0 to 4.2 mm depending on the design in the size (D2) of the decorative ball that is currently widely used and is currently used for necklaces. On the other hand, since the hole 11 can be elastically deformed, it is possible to follow a variation of the current decorative ball size. Therefore, it is possible to provide the stopper 1, the stopper 100, and the accessory using the same, which can be manufactured at a low cost by reducing the number of parts.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 10, the stopping device 100 is configured by appropriately selecting an arbitrary one from the plurality of decorative bodies 3 and combining it with the stopper 1. Since the size of the annular portion of the string-like member 4 is determined according to the position of the decorative body 3 to be combined with the stopper 1, it is formed in the middle of the string-like member 4 according to its own body shape and clothes to be worn. The inner dimension of the annular portion can be enlarged or reduced. Moreover, the string-like member 4 can be moved along the lateral direction (length direction of the string-like member 4) W of the stopper 1 in a state where the decorative body 3 is coupled to the hole 11. According to this operation, the ring of the string-like member 4 can be expanded / contracted in a state where the stopper 1 and the decorative body 3 are coupled.

  Further, advantages of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram omitting a part of a conventional accessory. The stop device 5 used in the accessory of FIG. 11 is composed of a perforated plate (plate can) 50, a spherical body 51, a pull ring 52, and a marcan 53. The plate can 50 is attached to one end of the string-like member 4. The spherical body 51 has the same structure as the decorative body 3 and is attached to an intermediate portion of the string-like member. The marcan 53 is brazed (54) to the outer surface of the spherical body 51, and the pulling wheel 52 is attached to the spherical body 51 via the marcan 53.

  By the way, this type of stop device is manufactured with a small size so as not to impair the beauty of the accessory. Therefore, in the stop device 5 of FIG. The operation of positioning in the hole tends to be difficult. In particular, when the accessory is a necklace, these operations are performed in an invisible position such as behind the neck, and in the case of a bracelet, these operations are performed only with one hand opposite to the wearing side. Therefore, the difficulty of the operation appears remarkably.

  In addition, in the stopping device 5 of FIG. 11, at least two parts of the plate can 50 and the pulling wheel 52 are required to connect the string-like member 4 in an annular shape, and the number of parts increases accordingly. Moreover, in order to attach the pulling wheel 52 to the spherical body 51, the markan 53 and the brazing 54 are required. As a result, the number of parts is increased by the amount of Malkan 53 and the number of work steps is increased by the amount of brazing work, resulting in an increase in cost.
