2. Description of the Related Art As an emblem which locks a needle-like leg, a emblem having a size corresponding to the diameter of the needle-like leg is provided in a fixed case having an insertion opening through which the needle-like leg can be inserted. A fixed member that slidably accommodates a locking body having a hole is formed, and a needle-like leg is inserted into the fixing member through the hole, and then the locking body is slid to thereby insert the inserted needle. 2. Description of the Related Art There has been known a structure in which a peripheral portion of a leg-shaped portion is interposed between an engaging body that slides and an insertion opening of a fixing member to thereby be engaged.

However, in the above-mentioned means, since the peripheral surface of the needle-like leg is flat, the needle-like leg can be formed only by the simple clamping force of the slidable locking member and the insertion opening of the fixing member. It may be said that it slips easily and pulls out of the fixing member in a dark manner.

Therefore, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 311071/1986, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-31107, the needle-like leg is securely held without slipping and without being pulled out of the fixing member. A notch groove is provided over the entire peripheral surface near the distal end of the needle-like leg, and a large hole corresponding to the diameter of the needle-like leg is provided in a fixed case having an insertion port through which the needle-like leg can be inserted. And a fixing member which slidably accommodates a locking body having a gourd-shaped hole formed by connecting a small hole portion corresponding to the diameter of the cut groove of the needle-like leg portion,
After inserting the needle-shaped leg into the fixing member through the large hole, the locking body is slid so that the cut-out groove of the needle-shaped leg, which has been partially reduced in diameter, has the same diameter. There is one in which a needle-like leg is locked and held by a fixing member by engaging and pinching a small hole.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned means surely holds the needle-like leg without being pulled out of the fixing member without being blinded. It is necessary to provide a notch groove with a small diameter over the entire peripheral surface near the front end in order to securely lock
The formation of the cut groove is troublesome, and the strength of the cut groove portion is reduced, so that the cut groove portion is easily bent.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problem. In order to solve such a problem, the locking hole of the locking body which comes into contact with the surface of the needle leg inserted into the locking hole is provided. The edge is configured such that the frictional resistance increases only when the needle-shaped leg in contact with the edge moves in the pull-out direction, and the pull-out is difficult. That is, the present invention provides a display body having a needle-shaped leg, a fixed case having an insertion opening into which the needle-shaped leg of the display body can be inserted, and the fixed body except for an operation part protruding from the fixed case. A locking body provided with a locking hole in a central portion accommodated in the case, and at least a part of an edge of the locking hole in the locking body is inclined toward the insertion direction side of the needle leg. By forming the locking wing to be engaged, the locking wing is brought into contact with the surface of the needle-like leg inserted into the locking hole, and the locking wing moves when the needle-like leg moves in the pulling-out direction. The piece is locked on the surface of the needle-like leg so as not to be pulled out in the dark.

[0007] When the locking wings inclined toward the insertion direction of the needle-like leg are formed on at least a part of the edge of the locking hole, the needle-like leg is moved in the pulling-out direction, thereby pulling out. The locking wing provided in the direction opposite to the direction comes into contact with the surface of the needle leg so as to be hooked, and the frictional resistance of the locking wing against the peripheral surface of the needle leg increases. Then, the locking wings slightly move upright so as to be pulled in the pulling-out direction side, thereby narrowing the locking holes and further increasing the contact force against the surface of the needle-like legs, so that the needle-like legs On the other hand, the needle-shaped leg is securely held by the locking body without slipping and without being pulled out of the fixing member indiscriminately, without the need for troublesome work such as providing a notch groove for engagement. , Can be hard to pull out.

[0008] Here, the emblems referred to in the present invention include a company badge indicating a group or class to which the user belongs, a badge indicating a character, etc., as well as accessories such as buttons and brooches. It means something.

And a locking body provided with a locking hole in a central portion accommodated in the fixed case, and the locking body is urged toward the operating portion by providing an elastic body at an end thereof. As it is slidably housed, it is formed so as to have a tapered shape that becomes narrower as the locking hole moves away from the operation unit side,
At both edges of the locking hole, locking wings are formed which are inclined toward the insertion direction of the needle-shaped leg.

[0010] As described above, if the locking body slidably housed in the fixed case is provided with a tapered locking hole, the needle leg inserted into the locking hole is
The elastic body provided at the end of the locking body is always pushed into the narrow width side of the locking hole formed in a tapered shape, and between the two edges of the locking hole in the sliding locking body. While being tightly accommodated, it is sandwiched at three places with the insertion opening in the fixed case, and the locking wing contacts the surface thereof, so that the needle-shaped leg is more strongly locked and pulled out in the dark. Can be eliminated.
Also, if the operating portion of the locking body is pressed to move the locking body against the bias of the elastic body, the needle-like leg is located on the wide side of the locking hole formed in a tapered shape. As a result, the engaging wings do not come into contact with the surface, and can be easily pulled out.

Here, the elastic member is not particularly limited as long as the locking member accommodated in the fixed case can be slid so as to be urged in the direction of the operation portion. A bent leaf spring or a coil spring wound with a linear elastic member may be used. Alternatively, even if the elastic body is formed integrally and continuously with the end of the locking body, it is separate from the locking body. And may be arranged on the end side.

The locking hole is not limited to the tapered shape as described above, but may have a circular shape slightly larger than the insertion hole provided in the fixed case. It is also possible to form a locking wing in the portion.

Further, the present invention excludes a display body having a needle-shaped leg, a fixed case having an insertion hole into which the needle-shaped leg of the display body can be inserted, and an operation unit protruding from the fixed case. And a locking body provided with a locking hole in a central portion housed in the fixed case, the locking body being elastic and easily bent by pressing, and a locking portion provided in the central portion. The hole is enlarged, and a locking wing that is inclined toward the insertion direction side of the needle-like leg is formed at a position facing the expansion hole at the edge of the locking hole.

As described above, if the locking member has elasticity and is easily bent by being pressed, and the locking hole provided in the central portion is enlarged, the needle inserted into the locking hole is provided. The hook-shaped limbs provided at positions facing each other in the enlargement direction at the edges of the hook holes abut against the surface thereof, whereby the needle-shaped limbs are more strongly locked and pulled out indiscriminately. Can be avoided. Also,
When the operating part of the locking body is pressed to bend the locking body, the locking hole provided in the center part expands, and the locking wing contacts the surface of the needle leg. Can be easily removed.

Further, the present invention is different from the one in which the display surface is formed in the fixed case, that is, the insertion hole forming surface in the fixed case provided with the insertion hole for inserting the needle-like leg of the display body. The other surface may be a display surface similar to a display body having a needle-like leg.
