[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a napkin stopper. More particularly, the present invention relates to a napkin stopper that can easily and reliably lock a napkin for eating around a neck even when a hole through which a neck of a garment passes is too narrow or too wide.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Traditionally, napkins have been used for meals, especially at restaurants, so that clothes are not stained with cooking juice or food waste. When using a napkin, a desired area on the front of the garment can be protected by the napkin by inserting a part of the napkin into a hole through which the neck of the garment passes and locking it.

[0003] However, when wearing a tie, or when wearing high-necked clothes, Chinese-type clothes, or school clothes, the hole through which the neck of the garment passes is too narrow. It is difficult to insert and lock it. Therefore, in the past, the napkin was locked by loosening the tie etc., or the napkin was locked at the joint of the front of the clothes, but in this case the appearance is bad and the napkin must be locked securely. Can not.

On the other hand, in the case of clothes, T-shirts or dowel-shaped clothes, the hole through which the neck of the clothes is passed is too wide. Can not be locked.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and even when the hole through which the neck of the clothes is too narrow or too wide, a napkin for eating can be easily and reliably placed near the neck. An object of the present invention is to provide a napkin stopper that can be locked to a napkin.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A napkin stopper of the present invention connects a pair of clips, one of which clamps a part of clothes and the other of which grips a part of a napkin, between the pair of clips. And a connecting portion.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting portion is formed of a chain.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting portion is separable and connectable.

It is preferable that at least a part of the clip holding the clothes or the napkin is covered with a protective portion in order to increase the frictional force and make the clothes or the napkin hard to come off.

[0010] It is preferable that the protection portion is in a cap shape.

It is preferable that the protection part is transparent.

The napkin stopper of the present invention has a structure in which a pair of clips are connected by a connecting portion but between the pair of clips, so to speak, a “clip and clip” structure. Therefore, one clip holds a part of the garment, for example, a collar of the garment, and the other clip holds a part of the napkin. It can be easily and securely locked near the neck.

[0013]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, the napkin stopper of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing an embodiment of the napkin fastener of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view of the clip of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an example of a use state of the napkin fastener of FIG. FIG. 4 and FIG. 4 are explanatory views showing another example of the use state of the napkin stopper of FIG.

The napkin stopper shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a pair of clips 1 and 2 and a connecting portion 3 that connects between the pair of clips 1 and 2. As the pair of clips 1 and 2 of this embodiment, clips having the same shape and structure are used. One of the clips 1 and 2 clamps a part of the garment and the other clamps a part of the napkin. In the present invention, it is not particularly determined which clip clamps the garment or the napkin. Not limited.

Clips 1 and 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 include a base portion 4 and a holding portion 5 that is swingably provided around a pin 6 fixed to an upper portion of the base portion 4 as a center of rotation. And a rotary spring 7 that urges the holding portion 5 in a direction to press the upper surface of the base portion 4. With this configuration, the clothes or the napkin can be reliably clamped between the base portion 4 and the clamping portion 5.

In the present embodiment, a rotary spring has been described as an example of the biasing means, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of providing the rotary spring 7, the holding portion 5 may be biased using a leaf spring or the like. Further, the base portion 4, the holding portion 5, and the leaf spring may be integrally formed.

Since the holding portion 5 is provided with the lever 8, if the lever 8 is pressed with a finger, the holding force between the base portion 4 and the holding portion 5 is weakened. Since it is between the base portion 4 and the holding portion 5, it can be easily and reliably extracted.

Further, a claw portion 9 for securely holding the napkin when a cap-shaped protection portion 12 described later is not provided is formed in a portion of the holding portion 5 that contacts the upper surface of the base portion 4. I have.

In the present invention, the clip is not particularly limited to those having the shapes and structures shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and any shape and structure may be adopted as long as clothes or a napkin can be clamped. Can be. For example, the clip on the clothes side and the clip on the napkin side may have different shapes and structures.

The connecting portion 3 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a chain having excellent decorativeness. Both ends of the chain-like connecting portion 3 are connected to a loop portion 10 formed by projecting a part of the back surface of the clips 1 and 2.

The connecting portion of the present invention may be any connecting portion as long as the pair of clips can be connected. For example, a connecting portion such as a string, a thread, a tape, a rubber band or a ring may be used in addition to a chain. May be.

Moreover, since the connecting portion 3 has the ring-shaped member 11 used for a connecting portion of a conventional necklace or the like, it can be separated and connected, so that even if one clip is broken, This has the advantage that only one clip needs to be replaced. Further, by further connecting a chain or the like between the pair of ring-shaped members 11, the distance between the clip 1 and the clip 2 can be adjusted.

By operating the protrusion 11a projecting to the outer peripheral side of the ring-shaped member 11 in FIG. 1, the portion 11b can be arbitrarily made to protrude (open and close) inside the substantially C-shaped main body 11c. The connecting portion 3 can be separated and connected through a cut in the main body 11c formed by opening the portion 11b.

Further, at least a part of the clip 1, 2 that holds the clothes or napkin, for example, the entire front part of the holding section 5 is covered with the protection section 12, so that the protection section 12 is Alternatively, the frictional force increases due to contact with the napkin, and as a result, the clothes or the napkin hardly comes off from the clips 1 and 2. Note that the frictional force increases if at least a part of the opposing surface between the base 4 and the holding portion 5 is covered with the protective portion, even if the protective portion is not a cap-shaped protective portion as in this embodiment. . Note that the protection section (cap) 12 may not be provided.

In particular, since the protection portion 12 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a cap shape, it can completely cover the entire front portion of the holding portion 5, and the clothes or napkin can be connected to the base portion 4. There is no inconvenience of being caught by the holding portion 5 when being extracted because it is between the holding portion 5. Moreover, it can be easily attached to and detached from the holding section 5.

Further, since the protection portion 12 is transparent, effects such as high decorativeness can be obtained.

The protection section 12 is made of, for example, a soft synthetic resin such as a soft vinyl chloride resin.

The napkin fastener of the present invention is not particularly limited in shape, color and pattern, but preferably has a highly decorative appearance such as a tie pin or a brooch. . For example, if the entire napkin fastener is colored gold with a plating or the like, the decorativeness is enhanced and the sense of quality is increased.

The napkin stopper configured as described above has a structure in which a pair of clips 1 and 2 are connected to each other by a connecting portion 3 so that one of the clips is a part of clothes, for example, a piece of clothes. By holding the collar, etc., and the other clip holding a part of the napkin, the napkin can be easily and reliably locked near the neck regardless of the size of the hole through which the neck of the clothes passes.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a tie is worn, or when wearing high-necked clothes, Chinese-type clothes, or student clothes, the hole through which the neck of the clothes is very narrow is used. Even so, the napkin N 2 can be easily and securely locked to the shirt collar C or the like by using the napkin stopper 20 of the present invention.

In addition, since it is not necessary to loosen the tie, the clothes are not disturbed, and the decorativeness of the napkin fastener itself is added, so that the appearance becomes very good.

On the other hand, even if the person wears a kimono as shown in FIG. 4 or wears a T-shirt or a dowel dowel, if the hole through the neck of the clothes is too wide, By using the napkin stopper 20, the napkin N can be easily and reliably engaged with the kimono collar C or the like.
