Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

【Technical field】

 The present invention relates to a wrist pinkion configured so that a pin cushion can be attached to one arm (mainly a wrist portion) of a sewing operator during sewing such as dressmaking and Japanese dressmaking.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as specific examples of this type of wrist pin cushion, there are wrist pin cushions Ba and Bb shown in FIGS. That is, in the wrist pin cushion Ba shown in FIG. 10, a ring-shaped stretchable rubber band 90 is attached to the bottom of the pin cushion body 1e. On the other hand, in the wrist pink Bb shown in FIG. 11, the pincushion main body 1e is supported on an upper portion of a synthetic resin band 91 formed in a partially cutout ring shape. In the wrist pin cushions Ba and Bb having such a configuration, the pin cushion body 1e can be attached to the arm of the sewing operator using the rubber band 90 or the synthetic resin band 91. It is convenient when handling many sewing needles.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional wrist pin cushions Ba and Bb have the following problems.

That is, the wrist pin cushion Ba shown in FIG. 10 has an advantage that the rubber band 90 does not become large and bulky when it is not used and the overall size can be made compact. When worn on the arm, the rubber band 90 in the contracted state needs to be widely spread against the contracting force. Therefore, in the above wrist pin cushion Ba, the user has to take a relatively troublesome time to wear the wrist pin cushion on the arm, and there is still room for improvement in this respect. Further, the rubber band 90 has a drawback that it is stretched in a relatively short period of time due to the deterioration of the rubber and its service life is short.

On the other hand, in the wrist pin cushion Bb shown in FIG. 11, since the band 91 is formed in a partially cut-out ring shape, the user inserts his / her hand through the band 91 and attaches it to the arm. Can be performed relatively easily. Further, the service life of the rubber band 90 can be made longer than that of the former one using the rubber band 90. In the wrist pin cushion Bb, however, the band 91 always has a certain shape with a partially cutout ring shape, and the dimension L in the thickness direction is large. Therefore, the entire size of the wrist pin cushion Bb, particularly the size in the thickness direction, is large, which is inconvenient for storage and storage when not in use. In addition, the bulkiness of the wrist pin cushion Bb when not in use also causes an increase in distribution costs when the wrist pin cushion Bb is distributed to the market by its manufacturer, sales company, or the like. .

The invention of the present application was conceived based on such a situation, and eliminates the fact that the entire wrist pin cushion is large and bulky when the wrist pin cushion is not used, so that the wrist pin cushion can be stored or stored. The task is to make it easier and more appropriate to attach to the user's arm without increasing the convenience of the user and without the need for troublesome work.

[0007]

[Disclosure of Invention]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical measures.

The present invention is a wrist pin cushion including a pin cushion body and a band member that supports the pin cushion body, wherein the band member extends in a substantially straight plate shape. It is characterized in that it is deformable into a first form and a second form in which both ends in the longitudinal direction are close to each other and the whole is curved in a substantially ring shape, and these forms can be held (claim) 1).

The first embodiment of the present invention, which extends in a substantially straight plate shape, means that the band member extends in a completely flat plate shape so that both front and back surfaces of the band member are in a completely flat shape. Not limited to cases. As will be understood from a preferred embodiment of the present invention described later, the first form referred to in the present invention also includes, for example, a form in which the band member extends in a slightly curved direction in its lateral direction. Be done.

According to the present invention, when the wrist pin cushion is not used, the entire band member can be held in the first form extending in a substantially straight plate shape. By setting the band member in such a form, it is possible to avoid the dimension of the band member in the thickness direction from becoming large and bulky. Although the length of the band member is somewhat large, the band member does not occupy a large space when it is stored because it is a flat plate. When the wrist pin cushion is to be housed in a sewing box, for example, the bulkiness of the wrist pin cushion in the thickness direction is more likely to hinder the storage than in the longitudinal direction. Is. Therefore, according to the present invention, the size of the wrist pin cushion in the thickness direction when not in use can be made compact, which makes it convenient for storage and storage. In addition, by reducing the size when not in use, the distribution cost can be reduced.

Further, in the present invention, when the wrist pin cushion is used, the band member has a second form in which both ends in the longitudinal direction are close to each other and the whole is curved in a substantially ring shape. You can keep it. With such a configuration, the arm of the user can be surrounded by the band member that is curved in a substantially ring shape, and the wrist pin cushion can be reliably and appropriately attached to the arm of the user. Since the above-mentioned band member is curved so that both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof come close to each other, unlike a conventional wrist pin cushion provided with a rubber band, a troublesome work of pushing the rubber band apart is unnecessary, and For example, it becomes possible to attach the wrist pin cushion to the user's arm by a very simple work such as applying a substantially straight plate-shaped band member to the user's arm and then bending the band member. . Therefore, the work of attaching the wrist pin cushion to the arm is also facilitated.

As described above, the present invention can simultaneously prevent the wrist pin cushion from being bulky when not in use and facilitate the work of attaching the wrist pin cushion to the arm of the user. Its usability can be significantly improved compared to the conventional one. In addition, since it is not necessary to use a rubber band, it can have a long service life.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the band member is configured by including flexible plates formed in a strip shape, and the flexible plates are arranged so that both longitudinal ends thereof are close to each other. The flexible plate has a first spring property that is curved in the longitudinal direction so that the entire flexible plate has a substantially ring shape, and when the flexible plate is extended into a substantially straight plate shape, the first plate is formed. In order to keep the elastic shape of the flexible plate and maintain the extended shape of the flexible plate, this flexible plate is concaved on one side that is the outer surface when curved in the longitudinal direction. The plate may have a second spring property that bends the plate in the lateral direction (claim 2).

According to this structure, by exerting the first spring property of the flexible plate forming the band member, both ends of the flexible plate in the longitudinal direction approach each other, and the entire flexible plate has a substantially ring shape. It may have a curved shape, that is, a second shape in which the band member can be wrapped around the arm of the user. On the other hand, when the flexible plate is stretched into a substantially straight flat plate shape, the second spring property of the flexible plate is exerted so that a predetermined one surface of the flexible plate is recessed into a concave shape. The plate can be bent in the lateral direction. By making the flexible plate into such a form, it is possible to hold the flexible plate in a substantially straight plate shape while suppressing the first spring property of the flexible plate. Therefore, the band member can have the first form. Thus, in the end, according to the above configuration, the band member is provided with the predetermined first form and the second form by using the first spring property and the second spring property provided in the flexible plate. It can be transformed into a shape and can retain those shapes. As a result, it is not necessary to additionally provide a special member as a means for holding the predetermined shape of the band member, and the structure of the band member can be simplified and the manufacturing cost thereof can be reduced. . Further, the band member can be easily switched between the first mode and the second mode by pressing an appropriate portion of the flexible plate with a finger, which makes the handling easier. Can be something.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flexible plate is a thin spring steel plate, and the outer surface of the flexible plate is covered with a flexible protective sheet material. (Claim 3).

According to this structure, since the flexible plate is a thin spring steel plate, the flexible plate can exhibit excellent spring properties, and the band member has the predetermined first form. It is possible to reliably and appropriately switch to the second mode. In addition, the spring steel plate is highly durable against the deformation operation repeated many times and can have a long service life. Further, according to the above configuration, since the outer surface of the spring steel plate is covered with the flexible protective sheet material, it is possible to prevent the spring steel plate from directly contacting the arm of the user and the skin It is possible to eliminate the unpleasant feeling of contact when touching metal. Further, the spring steel plate cannot be seen directly from the outside, and the appearance of the band member can be improved.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pin cushion body and the band member may be detachable from each other (claim 4).

According to this structure, when the wrist pin cushion is not used, the pink pink body and the band member are separated from each other, so that the respective parts of the wrist pink cushion can be made less bulky. it can. Therefore, it is possible to make the wristpin cushion more convenient for storage and storage.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the band member is deformed to the second form, the band member projects downward from the bottom surface of the pin cushion body and is curved. No. 1 or the second mounting posture in which this band member is curved so as to surround the pink cushion main body so as to surround the pink cushion main body and protrude above the bottom surface of the pin cushion main body. It can be configured freely (Claim 5).

According to this structure, when the mounting posture of the band member to the pin cushion body is set to the first mounting posture, the wrist pin cushion is attached to the arm of the user by using the band member. Not only can it be mounted properly, but by setting the mounting position of the band member to the second mounting position described above, the wrist pin cushion can be made even smaller when the wrist pin cushion is not used. It will be possible to plan. That is, when the band member is set in the second mounting posture, the size of the band member in the longitudinal direction can be substantially reduced by the amount of bending of the band member. Also, since the band member has a shape that curves upward from the bottom surface of the pin cushion body so as to surround the pink body, the size of the wrist pin cushion as a whole in the thickness direction is the pink body. It is possible to make a size that is not much different from the size in the thickness direction, and it is possible to avoid a large bulk of the overall thickness as much as possible. Therefore, when the wrist pin cushion is not used, the band member can be prevented from becoming large in the longitudinal direction, and the wrist pin cushion can be made more compact. As a result, the convenience of storing and storing the wrist pin cushion can be further enhanced, and the distribution cost can be further reduced.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cloth piece is attached to the bottom surface of the pin cushion body, and the band member is provided between the cloth piece and the bottom surface of the pin cushion body. There is provided a space through which the pin cushion body can be inserted, and by inserting the band member into the space, the pin cushion body can be supported by the band member. Item 6).

According to this structure, the pink cushion main body portion is inserted by inserting the band member into the space between the bottom surface portion of the pin cushion main body portion and the cloth piece attached to the bottom surface portion. Can be supported by the band member. On the other hand, when separating the band member and the pincushion main body portion, it is only necessary to remove the band member from the void portion. Therefore, the work of assembling the pincushion body and the band member and the work of separating them can be performed very easily. Also, when inserting the band member into the gap, the band member is moved downwards depending on which of the front and back surfaces of the band member faces the bottom surface of the pin cushion body. It can be easily changed and set to a state in which the band member projects and bends (the first mounting position) and a state in which the band member projects and curves above the pinks main body part (the second mounting position). This makes it even more convenient. Furthermore, the cloth piece for providing the above-mentioned void can be attached to the bottom surface of the pin cushion body in a non-bulky state, leading to an increase in the size of the wrist pin cushion or impairing its usability. Nor.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a wrist pin cushion A according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view taken along the arrow II in FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the wrist pin cushion A shown in FIG.

The wrist pin cushion A includes a pin cushion body 1 and a band member 2. In the present embodiment, the pincushion body 1 and the band member 2 are configured to be attachable to and detachable from each other.

The pincushion body 1 is used to pierce and hold various sewing needles such as sewing needles and waiting needles. As the pincushion body 1, various configurations are applied. can do. As an example of the pincushion main body 1, for example, a cushion material such as felt covered with cloth to form a hemispherical shape is used.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the bottom surface portion 10 of the pin cushion body portion 1 is arranged above. As shown in the figure, a strip-shaped cloth piece 12 is attached to the bottom surface portion 10. As a means for attaching the cloth piece 12, for example, a means for sewing to the pin cushion body 1 using a sewing thread is applied. Further, as the cloth piece 12, for example, a material having elasticity such as a rubber band may be applied, but a non-elastic material may be used. A void portion 11 is formed between the bottom surface portion 10 and the cloth piece 12. As will be described later, the void portion 11 is for inserting the band member 2, and the cloth piece 12 is sewn to the bottom surface portion 10 of the pin cushion body portion 1 by two threads m, m. The opening width S is specified. This opening width S is such that the width Sa of the band member 2 does not easily cause the pin cushion body 1 to be displaced relative to the band member 2 when the band member 2 is inserted into the space 11. It is slightly larger than the width.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the band member 2. The band member 2 includes a belt-shaped flexible plate 20 and a pair of sheet members 25, 25 for covering the outer surface of the flexible plate 20. The pair of sheet materials 25, 25 are made of flexible thin cloth or synthetic resin sheet. These sheet materials 25, 25 are superposed on both the front and back surfaces of the flexible plate 20 so as to wrap the entire flexible plate 20, and their outer peripheral edges are sewn or heat welded to each other. It is joined by being done.

The flexible plate 20 is made of a thin spring steel plate. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the flexible plate 20 has a first form in which the whole is extended in a substantially straight plate shape, and as shown by the solid line in FIG. There is a structure that can be deformed into a second form in which they are close to each other and are curved in a substantially ring shape, and that these forms can be retained. More specifically, the flexible plate 20 exerts the elastic force indicated by the symbols F1 and F1 in FIG. 7, so that the longitudinal end portions 20a, 20a of the flexible plate 20 are brought closer to each other. In addition, it has a first spring property for bending the flexible plate 20 in the longitudinal direction. Further, as shown by the phantom line in the figure, the flexible plate 20 is arranged such that one surface 21a of the flexible plate 20 is recessed into a concave shape having a predetermined radius of curvature R so that the flexible plate 20 is formed in the lateral direction thereof. It also has a second spring property that exerts elastic forces F2 and F2 that cause it to bend to the right. The one surface 21a that is concavely concave is one of the front and back surfaces of the flexible plate 20 that becomes the outer surface when the flexible plate 20 is curved as shown by the solid line in FIG.

As a result of having the above-mentioned first spring property and second spring property, the flexible plate 20 is capable of the following deformation operation. That is, when the flexible plate 20 is stretched into a substantially straight plate shape against the elastic forces F1 and F1, the flexible plate 20 is curved in the lateral direction due to the second vane property. As a result, the first spring property is suppressed and the substantially straight plate-like extended shape is maintained. Further, in the form in which the flexible plate 20 extends in the flat plate shape as described above, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. When the shape of the flexible plate 20 in the lateral direction is made non-curved (straight) against the forces F2 and F2, the flexible plate 20 exhibits the first spring property, and the solid line in FIG. As shown, the elastic forces F1 and F1 cause the entire body to bend in a substantially ring shape. At the time of this bending, the flexible plate 20 is not bent in its lateral direction. Since the band member 2 has the flexible plate 20 as a main constituent member, the band member 2 is transformed into the above-described first form and second form, and the forms thereof are similar to the flexible plate 20. It can be held.

Next, a usage example and operation of the wrist pin cushion A will be described.

First, when the wrist pin cushion A is not used, as shown in FIG. 1, the band member 2 has the first form in which the band member 2 extends in a substantially straight plate shape. In this way, the length of the band member 2 in the longitudinal direction becomes relatively large, but the size in the thickness direction can be made very small, and the overall thickness of the wrist pin cushion A can be prevented from being large and bulky. it can. Therefore, it is convenient, for example, when the wrist pin cushion A is housed in a sewing box or the like. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the pinktion body 1 and the band member 2 may be separated from each other. With this configuration, the pin cushion body 1 and the band member 2 can be individually stored and stored at predetermined positions according to their shapes and sizes, and the wrist pink cushion A can be handled when not in use. It will be even more convenient. The operation of separating the band member 2 from the pincushion main body portion 1 may be performed by simply pulling out the band member 2 from the space 11 between the pinkish body portion 1 and the cloth piece 12. Therefore, the disassembling work of the wrist pin cushion A can be easily performed. Needless to say, the operation of assembling the pincushion main body 1 and the band member 2 to each other after disassembling them is sufficient only by inserting the band member 2 into the void portion 11, and the work is easy.

Further, the wrist pin cushion A can be set as shown in FIG. 8 when it is not used. That is, in the configuration shown in the figure, the band member 2 inserted into the space 11 is curved, but the bending direction is such that the band member 2 projects upward from the bottom surface 10 of the pin cushion body 1. It is moving in the opposite direction. The mounting posture of the band member 2 is a mounting posture corresponding to an example of the second mounting posture referred to in the present invention, and such a setting makes it possible to mount the band member 2 on the bottom surface portion 10 of the pin cushion body portion 1. It is possible to easily carry out the orientation of the front and back surfaces by making the orientation of the wrist pin cushion A, which will be described later in FIG. 9, opposite to the orientation in use. If the mounting position of the band member 2 as shown in FIG. 8 is adopted, it is possible to prevent the band member 2 from being greatly bulged in the longitudinal direction thereof, and reduce the size La of the entire rest pin cushion A in the width direction. It will be possible. Further, the size Ha of the entire wrist pin cushion A in the thickness direction is only slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the pinkish pink body 1, and it is possible to avoid the bulky size. As a result, the wrist pin cushion A can be made more compact.

Next, when the wrist pin cushion A is used, after setting the wrist pinion A in the form shown in FIG. 1, the wrist pin cushion A is set to the user's arm (see FIG. 9). It suffices to press the part of the band member 2 which is placed on the wrist) and then extended in a flat plate shape from above. Then, the first spring property of the flexible plate 20 is exerted, and the band member 2 is curved in a substantially ring shape in the longitudinal direction, and the wrist pin cushion A is attached to the arm of the user. You can As described above, the wrist pin cushion A can be properly attached to the arm of the user by a so-called one-touch operation, and the attachment operation becomes very easy. Further, since the band member 2 is bent by an appropriate elastic force of the flexible plate 20 and is wound around the user's arm, the wrist pin cushion A can be easily moved along the user's arm. It is also possible to eliminate misalignment. Furthermore, since the band member 2 can be expanded and contracted, the size of the arm of the user does not matter. The above-mentioned band member 2 is only curved so that both ends in the longitudinal direction thereof are close to each other, and is wound around the user's arm in a form similar to a partially cutout ring-like form. In addition, when removing the wrist pin cushion A from the user's arm, it is possible to grasp the pin cushion body 1 and pull it out above the arm. Therefore, the work of removing the wrist pin cushion A from the arm becomes very easy.

The specific configuration of each part of the wrist pin cushion according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes are possible. For example, the band member may be configured by using, for example, a band-shaped member made of another highly flexible material without using the spring steel plate. Further, in the above embodiment, the pin cushion body and the band member are configured to be detachable from each other, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pin cushion body and the band member can be detached from each other. It may be connected to the impossible.
