That is, the first method is performed by gripping both operating pieces (11) (11) with fingers and bringing them close to each other, as in the conventional product. By this operation, the locking piece (13)
The degree of superposition of the vertical portions (13b) and (13b) of (13) is deepened, and the locking claw portions (13a) and (13a) are locked to the locking portion (40).
It is released from the belt-shaped portions (4b) (4b) on both sides and is released from the lock. Thus, the opening / closing plate (4) moves in the opening direction. The second method is a characteristic unlocking method of the present invention,
This is performed by pressing the free end side of the opening / closing plate (4) toward the substrate (1) side.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, by the pressing operation, the arc-shaped lower ends of the locking pieces (13) (13) , that is,
The slanted portions (13c) (13c) are the upper edge portions of the locking claw fitting holes (5a) of the ring-shaped member (5) , that is, the locking pieces are pulled toward each other.
The vertical portions (13b) (13) of both locking pieces (13) (13) gradually abut on the portion (5c) and are further pressed.
The degree of superposition of b) is deepened, and finally, as shown in FIG. 7, both locking claw portions (13a) (13a) have the fitting holes , that is, the engaging holes .
It will be in the state of having entered into the stopper pulling and holding section (5a). In this state, the locking claw portions (13a) (13a) are separated from the both side belt-shaped portions (4b) (4b) of the locking portion (40).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, when the above-mentioned pressed state is released, the free end side of the opening / closing plate (4), the pressing spring plate (3), the opening / closing plate (4) and the unlocking auxiliary spring (14). )
Due to the repulsive action of the spring accumulated force of (1), it is urged in the direction away from the substrate (1) and moves downward. Due to this movement, the side strips (4b) (4b) are brought into contact with the upper end of the unlocking member (5) and further act to flip the member (5) downward. Part (13a)
(13a) is an unlocking member (5) and a locking part (40)
As shown in FIG. 9, the open / close plate (4) moves out in the opening direction after being pulled out from the door.

Incidentally, the lock releasing portion (13 according to the present invention
c), (5c), and (5a) are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and in short, the both locking pieces are pressed to the free end side of the opening / closing plate (4) by the pressing operation to the substrate (1) side. (13)
(13) are moved in the pulling direction to each other, and the claws (1
Various designs can be changed as long as the locking of the locking portions (40) of 3a (13a) to the locking portion (40) can be released and held .

[0031]

The hair stopper according to the present invention engages with the engaging portion.
Equipped with a lock release part that releases the locked state with the pawl part
The locking release portion is provided on each locking piece in the width direction of the board.
A slanted part that is slanted outward and locked
Is located adjacent to each inclined part, and opens and closes from the locked state.
When the free end side of the plate is pressed toward the substrate side,
Locking piece pulling portion for moving both locking pieces in the pulling direction
And insert the tips of the two locking pieces in the pulled state into
The pulling state is held, and the opening / closing plate is held in the fitting pulling holding state.
Retaining of the locking piece that is vertically movable with respect to the free end side of
The holding part is included. Therefore, in order to remove it from the state where it is actually mounted, it can be performed only by pressing the free end side of the opening / closing plate toward the substrate side and then releasing the pressing operation.

Therefore, this unlocking operation can be performed in such a manner that one end side of the decorative piece mounting base plate is vertically sandwiched by two fingers, or one end side of the base plate is pressed against the head side. It can be performed in such a manner.

For this reason, it is possible to avoid and easily carry out the uncomfortable releasing operation such as the conventional method in which the two fingers of the forefinger and the thumb are groped on the lower surface side of the decorative piece. In particular, even if a large decorative piece is provided, that is, a large distance from the peripheral edge to the free end of the opening / closing plate, the releasing operation can be performed without difficulty.

Further, since the releasing operation can be performed in a natural manner as described above, not only the pressing force required for the releasing operation can be easily obtained, but also the fingertip is not damaged.
