Description

  The present invention relates to a magnet tufting, and more particularly, a magnet tufting attached to a tassel for holding a curtain in a bundle, so that the tassel comes off when an excessive load is applied to the tassel. About.

  When the curtain 1 attached to a window or the like in a room is opened, as shown in FIG. 7, the curtain 1 is bundled by a tassel (tassel) 2, and is hung on a tuft 3 attached to a wall or the like. Is held. As the tassel 2 for bundling the curtain 1, a band-shaped one or a rope-shaped one is generally used.

  The tuft 3 is formed of various materials such as metal or resin, or wooden, and as a general tuft 3, for example, as shown in FIG. It has a main body 3a and a substantially L-shaped hooking member 3c which is fixed so as to protrude from the main body 3a. A pair of screw holes 3b for fixing the main body 3a to a wall surface with screws or the like are provided above and below. It is configured to have.

  The tuft 3 has the main body 3a fixed to each of the wall surfaces on both sides of the window at a substantially intermediate height position in the height direction of the curtain 1 by screws (not shown). Then, the user gathers the curtain 1 to one end or, if the curtain 1 is double-opened, to both ends, hooks one end of the tassel 2 to the hook member 3c of the tuft 3, and surrounds the bundled curtain 1. The other end of the tassel 2 is engaged with the hooking member 3c so as to follow along. FIG. 7 shows this state.

  By the way, in the state of FIG. 7, when a small child is playing near the curtain 1, the tassel 2 may be wound around the child's neck, causing an unexpected accident. Patent Literature 1, for example, has been proposed as a lock which can cope with such an accident. The tufting fitting disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a hooking member rotatable with respect to a fixed-side fitting, and the hooking member has one end of the curtain tuft engaged with the head side and the other end with the bottom side. When the hooking head is strongly pulled in the horizontal direction by the tuft, the hooking head and the hooking member rotate and the hooking portion of the tuft is released from the hooking head, and becomes free. The hook member returns to the original position when the tensile force is no longer applied to the hook member.

  Also, a "child safety tassel" shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B and a "child safety tassel" shown in FIG. 9 are commercially available. The tassel shown in FIG. 8 and the tuft shown in FIG. 9 are both sold by Tachikawa Blind Industry Co., Ltd. (listed in the catalog of April 2014). As shown in FIG. 8A, the child safety tassel 4 shown in FIG. 8 includes an accessory part 40 having spherical bodies 4c, 4c provided at both ends of ropes 4a, 4a, and magnets 4b, 4b respectively built therein. When the tassel 2 is applied with a strong tensile force (for example, a force of 6 kg) in the horizontal direction, the spherical bodies 4c, 4c drawn by the magnetic force of the magnets 4b, 4b as shown in FIG. The ropes 4a, 4a are free to open at both ends.

  Further, the child safety tuft 5 shown in FIG. 9 is composed of a vertically long main body 5a and a movable member 5b whose lower end is pivotally supported so as to be able to rotate vertically with respect to the main body 5a. In this child safety tuft 5, when a strong tensile force (load) is applied in the direction of arrow A, the movable member 5b rotates in the direction of arrow B, and one end of the tassel 2 is released from the movable member 5b. When the tassel 2 comes off, the movable member 5b returns to the original vertical position by the biasing force of the built-in spring, and assumes the original shape of the child safety tuft 5.

JP 2007-252459 A

  However, the lock member of Patent Literature 1 has a complicated configuration and may be inferior in appearance. The “child safety tassel” shown in FIG. 8 uses the tuft 3 of the conventional configuration shown in FIG. 7 as it is, and there is a risk that the hook member 3c may come into contact with the child's body and be injured. Further, according to "Child Safety Tufting" shown in FIG. 9, when the tassel is pulled and the movable member 5b is turned over, the movable member 5b is returned to the vertical position by the elastic force of the built-in spring. Contact with a human body such as a child's face or hands may cause unexpected injury. Conventional tufts, such as the tuft 3 shown in FIG. 7 or the "Child Safety Tassel" shown in FIG. 8, basically have a L-shaped hooking member 3c fixed to a wall surface, which is looped from above. Since only the rope (one end of the tassel 2 or the rope 4) is hooked from above, even if it is not a dangerous situation in which the weight of a child or the like will be hung, the loop can be easily formed simply by lifting from below. (One end of the tassel 2 or the rope 4) can be detached from the tuft. For example, if the cleaner touches the hem of the curtain 1 during cleaning, it may come off accidentally. The original function was not necessarily high. Further, the "child safety tassel" shown in FIG. 8 uses a rope 4 prepared separately from the curtain 1 in place of the tassel 2 attached to the curtain 1, so that the original unification intended by the designer of the curtain 1 The feeling may be impaired.

  In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has an object to provide a magnet tuft which has a high original function of tufting for bundling curtains, and which can ensure good appearance and safety. Aim.

One end of the tassel is hooked to the portion, and the hook of the second main body is hooked to the other end of the tassel.

  Next, when bundling the curtain with the tassel, the user grasps the second main body by hand and surrounds the curtain with the tassel, and then adheres the second main body to the first main body on the wall side by magnetic force. The bundled state of the curtains is easily maintained by this magnetic force. Further, when the second main body is bundled, the second main body is attracted toward the first main body by the magnetic force, so that the alignment (attachment) between the second main body and the first main body is easy.

  In a state where the curtains are bundled with the tassel, the hanging portions of the first main body portion and the second main body portion are located on opposing surfaces, so that one of the hanging portions may be caught by a person's clothes or a child. It is possible to prevent accidents such as contact of the face or hand of the user. In addition, when a predetermined load (for example, a load exceeding the load necessary for bundling the curtain, a so-called excessive load) is applied to the tassel, the first main body and the second main body are easily separated from each other. Can be kept safe even when wrapped around the child's neck.

  In addition, in a state where the curtain is not bundled with the tassel, there is a possibility that the formation surfaces of the hook portions in the first main body portion and the second main body portion are exposed, but it is basically necessary to remove the tassel from these hook portions. Therefore, there is no need to protrude the hooking portion unlike the hooking member of FIG. For this reason, the possibility of injury due to a child coming into contact with the exposed hook portion can be easily suppressed.

  In addition, the magnet tuft according to the present invention is not used in place of the tassel, but is externally attached to the tassel, so, for example, a tassel composed of the same fabric as the curtain or a tassel suitable for the atmosphere of the curtain. It can be used effectively and does not detract from the unity of the curtain and tassel.

  Therefore, according to the magnet tufting according to the present invention, the original function of tufting for bundling curtains is high, and good appearance and safety can be ensured.

Barrels 9A and 9B are provided to prevent falling off. Therefore, for example, even when the second main body 6B is detached from the first main body 6A, the first main body 6A is still attached to the end 2A of the tassel 2 and the end 2B of the tassel 2 The second main body 6B remains attached (see FIG. 1). Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the second main body 6B is separated from the first main body 6A of the magnet tuft 6 for safety (FIG. 2A), the first main body 6A is removed from the wall surface. The connection state (FIG. 2) reaching the second main body 6B via the tassel 2 is not canceled at all, and these parts do not drop to the floor. Further, since the second resin body 6B attached to the end 2A of the tassel 2 can be reduced in size and weight, it can be hung while being always attached to the end 2A of the tassel 2 (FIG. 2). ), The appearance and function of the tassel 2 are not significantly impaired. That is, since the weight of the second main body 6B made of resin is light, the user grasps the second main body 6B with his / her finger instead of grasping the loop-shaped end 2B of the tassel 2 with his / her finger when bundling the curtain 1. This is only necessary, and the size of the second main body 6B is small. Therefore, even if the second main body 6B is still attached to the end 2B of the tassel 2, the appearance of the tassel 2 is unlikely to be impaired.

[About size of magnet tuft]
Next, the size of the magnet lock 6 will be described. In the magnet lock 6 of the present embodiment, the first hook 8A provided on the first main body 6A and the second hook 8B provided on the second main body 6B are arranged so as to be displaced from each other. ing. For example, in a state where the second main body 6B is attached to the first main body 6A (FIG. 3B), the second first hook 8B is positioned above the first hook 8A so that the second hook 8B is positioned above the first hook 8A. The position of the second first hook 8B in the second main body 6B is shifted upward from the position of the first hook 8A in the first main body 6A. Therefore, when the second main body 6B is mounted on the first main body 6A (FIG. 3B), the first hook 8A and the second hook 8B do not overlap, and the magnet lock 6 The overall thickness can be reduced. For example, when the first main body 6A and the second main body 6B are mounted, the vertical length of the magnet tuft 6 is about 70 mm, the width is about 20 mm, and the thickness is about 15 mm. Therefore, the magnet tuft 6 in a state where the curtains 1 are bundled, that is, the magnet tuft 6 attached to the wall surface is compact, and there is no risk of damaging the atmosphere near the window (FIG. 5).
