And means for solving the problem.

  Further, the present invention is premised on the configuration of any one of the above inventions, and the adjuster rail includes a curved surface or a slope continuous from the upper surface to the front surface of the service tooth and from the upper surface to the rear surface of the service tooth, In the normal state in which the dentition row and the locking line portion are locked, the metal slider is locked forward with respect to the adjuster rail, and the metal slider can be moved backward. The adjuster to be used is a means for solving the problem.

  Further, according to the present invention, on the premise of the configuration of any one of the above inventions, the slider operating body includes a guide portion that slides with respect to the slider main body, and the slide movable body and the slider main body are at least in either of the front and rear directions. An adjuster provided with a movement restricting means for restricting movement to a predetermined range is used as a means for solving the problem.

According to the adjuster of the present invention, the metal slider includes a slider main body, a slider operating body that moves back and forth relative to the slider main body, and a stopper member that is attached to the slider main body and is made of a metal wire. The slider main body includes a fabric attachment portion, a bulky portion continuous to the rear end side of the fabric attachment portion, and a slider guide portion located on the rear end side of the bulkiness portion, and the slider guide portion has an opening. A slider substrate having a guide edge formed to guide the adjuster rail on the right and left edge portions of the slider substrate, and the stopper member is attached to the slider guide portion, and is attached to the tooth of the adjuster rail. The slider operating body is provided with a detachable locking line portion, and the slider operating body releases the locking between the operating body substrate portion and the engagement tooth row-the locking line portion. Includes a guide portion for, and the operation side finger part,
The slider main body and the slider operating body are allowed to move relative to each other in the front-rear direction, and the stopper member is resiliently repelled against the relative pushing of the stopper member into the locking line portion by the slider guide portion of the slider main body. And having a configuration in which an opening is disposed above the locking line portion within a range of relative indentation dimensions so that the locking between the engagement tooth and the locking line portion can be released. Therefore, it has the following effects.
(A) In the normal state in which the service tooth and the locking line portion are locked, the movement of the metal slider in the forward direction, that is, the direction of expanding the waist size (releasing the waist area) Is prevented by the locking. For this reason, unintentional loosening around the waist can be prevented.
(B) As for the movement of the metal slider in the rear direction, that is, in the direction of reducing the waist size (tightening around the waist), simply disengage the metal slider as it is, and the engagement / disengagement between the engagement tooth and the locking line portion will occur Can be adjusted to the desired position.
That is, the slider main body and the slider operating body are allowed to move relative to each other in the front-rear direction, and an opening is disposed above the locking line portion within the range of the relative push-in dimension. When the slider main body is moved backward with a finger in order to be able to release the lock, the slider main body approaches the slider operation body and has not been arranged above the locking line portion of the stopper member. The opening is placed and ready for release.
Next, the slider guide part of the slider operating body guides the locking line part upward, and the engagement between the engagement tooth and the locking line part is released. From this state, the entire metal slider starts moving forward. However, since the stopper member exhibits rebound resilience, the locking line portion locks against the next tooth. When the entire metal slider moves, the distance between the slider main body and the slider operation body returns to the original position, and the opening is not positioned above the locking line portion and is closed. By repeating the series of changes in the state, the metal slider can be moved to the desired adjustment position.
(C) When loosening the waist size, a picking operation is performed on the metal slider.
When the slider-side subject-side finger-hanging portion and the slider-operating body-side finger-holding portion are moved relative to each other so as to reduce the mutual distance using, for example, the thumb and the index finger, the same as in (b) above, the release is performed. After the preparation state, the slider guide part of the slider operating body guides the locking line part upward, and the engagement between the engagement tooth and the locking line part is released. In this released state, the slider-main body finger-holding part and the slider operating body-side finger-holding part are held in a state where they are gripped with fingers, so the adjuster rail engagement teeth and the locking line part are not in contact with each other. State is maintained.
For this reason, the metal adjuster can be freely moved back and forth with respect to the adjuster rail, and the waist size can be enlarged or reduced according to preference.
In the invention according to the present application, it is not necessary to directly actuate the operating body side finger hanging portion and the main body side finger hanging portion with the finger, and the operating body side finger hanging portion or the main body side finger hanging portion is caused to act via the cloth. And attaching the other member to the operating body side finger hanging part or the main body side finger hanging part and causing it to act indirectly.

  Further, according to the present invention, the bulky portion of the slider main body is provided with a main body side fabric through-hole for passing the rail covering fabric, and in the vicinity of the operation body side finger hook portion of the slider operation body. In addition, since the operation body side fabric through-hole for passing the rail coating fabric is provided, the main body side fabric through hole and the operation body side fabric through hole are communicated to pass the rail coating fabric, and both ends of the adjuster rail The rail covering fabric is fixed to the rail covering fabric by means of sewing or the like, so that the main body side finger hanging portion of the slider and the operating body side finger hanging portion of the slider operating body are arranged outside the rail covering fabric, Since these pinching operations can be performed on the outside, the waist size can be adjusted by a very simple and good-looking operation.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, on the basis of any one of the above-described configurations, the fabric covering portion for sandwiching the outer fabric together with the fabric attachment portion is formed from the operating body side finger hook portion of the slider operating body. By picking a finger on the fabric cover together with or on the operation object side finger hook, it is easier to grasp the finger position and the contact with the finger is more reliable. The waist size can be adjusted more easily and comfortably with less power loss.

  Further, according to the present invention, the adjuster rail has a curved surface or a slope that is continuous from the upper surface to the front surface of the service tooth and from the upper surface to the rear surface of the service tooth in the above-described configuration. In the normal state in which the dentition and the locking line portion are locked, the metal slider is locked forward with respect to the adjuster rail, and the metal slider can be moved backward. Therefore, in the normal state where the engagement tooth and the locking line portion are locked, the metal slider is slid as it is in the rearward direction, that is, in the direction of reducing the waist size (tightening around the waist). When repeating engagement / disengagement between the engagement tooth and the locking wire portion, the engagement / disengagement operation can be made smoother and the operability can be improved.

  According to the present invention, in addition to the configuration of any one of the above inventions, the slider operating body includes a guide portion that slides with respect to the slider main body, and the slide movable body and the slider main body are at least front and rear. Since the movement restricting means for restricting the movement in any direction to a predetermined range is provided, in addition to the operational effect of any one of the above inventions, the guide portion slides in the slider main body, In addition, the movement restricting means suppresses the movement in the front-rear direction exceeding a predetermined range, thereby realizing a stable front-rear movement operation.

The movable range is movable within a predetermined range.

  The maximum length in the front-rear direction of the movable range is set by the difference between the inner diameter dimension of the bottom plate through hole 106 and the diameter diameter of the third line portion 123 of the stopper member 12. In this embodiment, it is set to about 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

By moving the slider main body 10 backward within the range of the movable range, as shown in FIG.
That is, the slider main body 10 is displaced with respect to the slider operation body, and the opening 100a is disposed above the locking line portion 120 of the stopper member 12, so that the upper portion of the locking line portion 120 is released.

Therefore, by further pressing the slider main body 10 toward the rear, the locking line portion 120 of the stopper member 12 gets over the engagement teeth 20a of the adjuster rail 2, and the released state shown in FIG. 13 is realized. Here, since the stopper member 12 is a spring made of a metal wire and exhibits rebound resilience, as shown in FIG. 14, the locking wire portion 120 is engaged with the next closest tooth 20a. Stop.
The metal slider 1 can be continuously moved backward.

  As described above, in the normal state, as shown in FIG. 12, the metal slider 1 does not inadvertently move forward, and the waist size does not increase (the waist loosens). However, since the metal slider 1 can move rearward, the waist can be easily tightened only by pressing only the slider main body 10 toward the rear.

  Next, in order to increase the waist size (relax the waist), the lock release preparation state is set and the release state is set as follows.

  From the normal state, the operator side finger hooking part 111 of the slider operating body 11 and the main body side finger hooking part 10d which is the front end of the cloth attaching part 10c of the slider main body 10 are picked with fingers, and the cloth attaching part 10c and the main body side finger are picked up. When the hooking portion 10d is brought close to the slider operating body 11, the slider main body 10 is displaced, and the opening 100a is disposed above the locking line portion 120 of the stopper member 12, thereby the locking line portion. The top of 120 is released. Here, when the operating body side finger hook portion 111 and the main body side finger hook portion 10d are picked up with fingers, they can be picked up via the outer cloth 50, the inner cloth 51 or the decorative body 31.

  The slider operating body 11 is further pulled toward the slider main body 10 from the state where the operating body side finger hooking portion 111 of the slider operating body 11 and the main body side finger hooking portion 10d of the slider main body 10 are gripped with fingers in the unlocking preparation state. Thus, the inclined surface 116 in the unlocking portion 113 of the slider operating body 11 lifts the locking wire portion 120 upward, and releases the locking between the engagement tooth 20a and the locking wire portion 120.

  In this state, the metal slider 1 can be moved forward with respect to the adjuster rail 2. When the metal slider 1 is moved to the adjustment position and the finger is released, the locking line portion 120 of the stopper member 12 is restored to its original shape from the elastically deformed state. Along with this restoration, the locking line portion 120 of the stopper member 12 pushes back the inclined surface 116 of the locking release portion 113 of the slider operating body 11 backward and enters the gap portion 20b of the adjuster rail 2, thereby Lock with 20a. When the slider operating body 11 is pushed back by the stopper member 12, the relative deviation between the slider operating body 11 and the slider main body 10 is eliminated, and the normal state is restored.

Next, as a modification of the first embodiment, an adjuster C according to the second embodiment will be described.
The basic configuration of the adjuster C according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and is different from the first embodiment in the shape of the operating body side finger hook portion 111 of the slider operating body 11.
