Description

  The present invention relates to a bell trench that can be used as an opener or the like.

  As this type of opener or bell trench, those shown in Patent Documents 1 to 5 are known.

  The thing of patent document 1 is an opener which made a loop with the belt extended | rolled out from the grip, and inserted the front-end | tip into a grip again, and was able to open a lid in a loop part, and the thing of patent document 2 is a patent. It can be said to be an improved product of Document 1, and is an opener that is provided with a turntable for take-up / winding in a grip, and that can be opened and closed at a loop portion while adjusting the expansion and contraction and holding the turntable. Further, in Patent Document 5, a belt inserted into a hollow main body is taken out in a loop form from a belt take-out hole provided in the middle of the main body, and the leading end of the belt passes through the inside of the main body again to be the belt at the other end of the main body. It is an opener that is pulled out from the outlet and can be opened at the loop portion.

On the other hand, in Patent Document 3, a belt stopper is provided at the tip of the hollow handle, a lever that moves around a fulcrum is provided on the opposite side, and a belt is drawn out from the belt stopper to form a loop, and the tip is placed inside the lever. Is a bell wrench that can be inserted into a hollow handle through the loop portion so that it can be opened at the loop portion. In Patent Document 4, a frame is formed at the tip of the handle, and one end of the belt is fixed to the frame. This is a valve wrench that is made into a loop shape and the other end is passed through a frame so that the lid can be opened at the loop portion.

  However, each of these is a structure in which the other end of the belt having one end fixed is returned to the handle or the grip itself, and a thin (or narrow) hollow portion or a perforated portion is formed in the grip and inserted there. You must pass. For this reason, when the belt is inadvertently removed, it may be inconvenient that it cannot be inserted again into a finger-free hand. Further, since the hollow portion and the perforated portion have to be processed or built with the handle and grip having a required thickness, there are many restrictions on the materials and forms that can be used as the handle and grip.

  Furthermore, with the other end of the belt returned to the handle or grip and the required loop is formed, a small part of the belt (or for holding the belt) so that the belt is not extended and the loop does not spread out. It is difficult for a person with a finger disability to operate, since the rotation operation must be performed while pressing the local part) provided by the hand.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and aims to newly provide a bell trench that is easy to use for people with disabilities and that can be made simply. It is said.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  That is, the bell trench of the present invention comprises a support and a belt having one end and the other end fixed or engaged with the outside of the support and a loop formed between them, and the belt loop is wound around an object. As the support is rotated, a part of the support is made to function as a belt press so that the belt loop is narrowed and the object can be tightened to rotate against the rotational resistance. .

  When returning the belt to the support itself, a thin (or narrow) hollow or perforated part is required to insert the belt through the support, but the belt is looped outside the support. Such a structure is unnecessary if fixed or engaged with each other. If a loop is formed in advance, it is only necessary to hook the loop on the object, and the operation becomes extremely simple. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide a hollow part or a perforated part in the support itself, the structure of the support itself is simple, and there are fewer restrictions on materials and forms that can be used as the support.

  Alternatively, other configurations include a support, a belt having one end directly or indirectly fixed or engaged with the support and the other end being a free end, and a belt that is folded back by forming a loop in the middle. Mooring means for mooring outside the support without inserting the end side into the support, the mooring means being capable of changing the size of the loop, As the support is rotated around the object, a part of the support is made to function as a belt retainer so that the object can be tightened and tightened against the rotational resistance while narrowing the belt loop. The thing which was done is mentioned.

  In this way, even if the belt is moored on the outside of the support and a loop is formed as necessary, a thin (or narrow) hollow or perforated part is unnecessary, and even if the belt is accidentally removed Since it does not depend on the structure of the support itself, it is possible to effectively employ a mooring structure that can be easily set again by a person with a finger disability. Moreover, the effect by not providing a hollow part and a perforated part in the support itself is the same as that of the above.

  In this case, in order to make the rotation operation easier, it is desirable that the mooring means temporarily fix the belt to the support so as to be detachable before the support starts rotating.

  Specifically, the mooring means may be a hook-and-loop fastener element that is attached to the corresponding part of the support and the belt.

  On the other hand, although it is necessary to easily hold the belt by hand, in order to simplify the setting, etc., the mooring means regulates the belt so that it is not separated from the support by a certain distance along the support. You may just do it.

  Specifically, the mooring means may be provided with an insertion portion that is attached to the support and forms an opening through which the belt is inserted. The insertion portion may be hooked on a support.

  In this case, in order to increase the tightening force, it is desirable that the insertion portion functions as a fixture for pressing the object together with the belt pressing of the support.

  In these cases, in order to optimize the attachment state, it is effective to attach one end of the belt to a part of the insertion portion.

  In the case of a structure in which the belt is pressed by hand, it is desirable to provide a resistance portion for suppressing the looseness of the belt at a portion of the support that functions as a belt press.

  In order to make the bell trench light and easy to hold, it is preferable that the support has a long flat plate shape.

  In order to achieve both stable operation and application of appropriate rotational force, the tip side of the support is curved, and the object is wound around the concave surface via a belt during the rotation operation. Is preferred. Of course, if priority is given to ease of production, straight support is less time-consuming.

  Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, it is possible to provide a novel and useful bell trench that is particularly convenient for the handicapped person, easy to handle, and simple to make.

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)

  The belt wrench shown in FIG. 1 is applied to bottles for drinks and jams, cans of drinking water, etc., and is used when the object a such as a stopper or lid is opened. 1, belt 2 and hook and loop fastener elements 31a, 31b and 32a.

  The support 1 is in the shape of a long thin plate as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the base end 1a side is linear and the tip 1b side is gently curved in the thickness direction. The longer the support 1 is, the less the operation force is. However, about 20 to 30 cm is easy to handle and it is easy to use. An appropriate material such as resin or bamboo can be used as the material.

  The belt 2 is made of rubber, has a width dimension substantially corresponding to the width dimension of the support 1, and a length of about 25 to 30 cm is usually suitable although it depends on the object.

  Then, female surface fastener elements 31a and 31b are attached to one surface 2a on one end side of the belt 2 and the other surface 2b on the other end side of the belt, respectively, while A male hook-and-loop fastener element 32a is adhered to the surface 1c on the side that is gently convex. Of course, the relationship between male and female may be reversed. If the length of the hook-and-loop fastener element 32a on the fulcrum 1 side is a normal use, it is sufficient if it is about 8 to 10 cm.

  Then, one end side of the belt 2 is bonded to the vicinity of the tip end of the support 1 via the hook-and-loop fastener elements 31 a and 32 a, and the other end side of the belt 2 that has become a free end is folded back to the base end rather than the tip end of the support 1. The loop 20 can be formed at the intermediate portion as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2B by adhering via the surface fastener elements 31b and 32a at positions close to the side. At that time, since the hook-and-loop fastener elements 31a, 31b, and 32a are used, the size of the loop 20 can be naturally changed depending on the mooring position. One end of the belt 2 may be fixed to the support 1 at all times.

  In this way, after the loop 20 is set in the closed state, or before the loop 20 is closed, the loop 20 of the belt 2 is wrapped around the object a, and in any case, the loop 20 is closed. As shown in FIG. 3, the support 1 is rotated to move the object a to the back (concave surface) 1d side of the support 1, and at this time, the bottle body A is supported with one hand, and the empty hand is used. Further, the support 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow X in the figure. As a result, a part (tip portion) of the support 1 serves as a belt presser to tighten the outer periphery a1 of the object a while further narrowing the loop 20 of the belt 2, and the object a is resisted against rotational resistance. Rotate with the force of to open the plug. Once the object a is loosened, it can be easily opened by hand. When setting the belt 2 on the object a, avoid using the edges in the width direction of the belt 2 or using the object a and the belt 2 in a wet state so as not to slip. To do.

  That is, the hook-and-loop fastener elements 31a, 31b, and 32a serving as the mooring means of this embodiment temporarily fix the loop 20 to a required size before starting to rotate the support 1, and do not press the belt 2 during the rotation operation. Both exert a mooring force in the direction in which the belt 2 is pulled, and pull the hook-and-loop fasteners 31a, 32a or hook-and-loop fasteners 31b, 32a in the thickness direction of the support 1 in the direction different from the direction in which the belt 2 is pulled. The mooring state is not released unless a force in the peeling direction is applied at least first. Then, since the support 1 is rotated so that the belt 2 is wound around the object a on the back surface of the support 1 as shown in FIG. 3, the support 1 is rotated between the surface fasteners 31a and 32a, 31b. , 32a is properly maintained.

  If comprised as mentioned above, since the belt 2 is only moored on the outer surface of the support 1, there is no need to insert the belt 2 through a narrow place. For this reason, it is only necessary to re-attach the hook-and-loop fastener elements 31a and 31b to the hook-and-loop fastener element 32a as necessary, and a detachable structure that can be easily set again by a person with a finger disability can be obtained. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide a hollow part or a perforated part in the support 1 itself, there is an advantage that the structure of the support 1 itself is simple and the degree of freedom in selecting a material and form that can be used as the support 1 is high. It is done.

  In addition, the anchoring means such as the hook-and-loop fastener elements 31a, 31b, and 32a have a strong anchoring force in the direction in which the surfaces are shifted from each other, exhibit the anchoring force in the direction in which the belt 2 is pulled as described above, and the belt 2 is pulled. Since the mooring state is not released unless an operating force in a direction different from the direction is applied at least first, the loop 20 can be appropriately temporarily fixed in a stage before starting to rotate the support 1. That is, it is easy to properly entrain the object “a” while prohibiting the spread of the loop 20 without rotating the belt 2 while holding the belt 2, and the operability is particularly good for a person with a finger disability.

  Moreover, since it is such a structure, a long flat plate-shaped thing can be used for the support 1, and the belt 2 can be easily configured by attaching one end and the other end to the same side surface of the support 1. In addition, a light and easy-to-hold structure can be effectively realized.

  Further, the tip 1b side of the support 1 is curved, and the object a is wound around the surface 1d of the support 1 through the belt 2 during the rotation operation. It is easy to attach the support 1 to the door, and it is possible to suitably achieve both stable operation and generation of an appropriate opening force.

  The belt 2 may be fixed or engaged with a support at the other end as described in the above embodiment, and one end may be a free end.

Further, one end and the other end of the belt 2 may be always fixed or engaged with the outer surface of the support 1. In this way, since the loop 20 of the belt 2 is closed from the beginning, it is only necessary to engage the loop 20 with the object a such as a stopper, and the belt 2 need not be detached. It is also useful to improve the operability in this way unless the size changes extremely.

(Second Embodiment)

  The bell trench shown in FIG. 4 can be applied to the same application as that of the above embodiment, but can also be used as a tool or the like when loosening an object such as a bolt or a valve screwed to the main body. The support 101, the belt 102, and the mooring means 103 are included.

  The support rod 101 is the same as the above embodiment in that it has a long plate shape, but the tip portion of the support rod 101 of this embodiment is not curved, and a linear one that extends straight as a whole is used. It is.

  The belt 102 is made of rubber and has an appropriate length as in the above embodiment.

  On the other hand, the mooring means 103 includes a fitting 131 that is an insertion portion that is attached to the support 101 and forms an opening S through which the belt 102 is inserted.

  The metal fitting 131 is substantially U-shaped, and a pair of support shafts 131a facing each other on the open end side are rotatably attached to the side surface of the support rod 101. Since the support 101 has a thickness, the side portion of the metal fitting 131 is bent by an amount corresponding to the thickness of the support 101 so that the belt 102 follows the support 101 as much as possible. Then, an annular portion 102a is formed at one end of the belt 102 and supported by a belt shaft rod 131b existing at an intermediate portion of the metal fitting 131, and the other end is folded back while the other end is a free end and the other end is attached to the metal fitting. It is inserted through an opening S formed between 131 and the support 101.

  That is, the metal fitting 131 functions as a mooring means for regulating the belt 102 along the support rod 101 so as not to be separated from the support rod 101 by a certain distance. Since the belt 102 is exposed to the outside along the hook 101, the belt 102 can be easily pressed to the support 101 side with a finger or the like at any part, and this causes the belt 102 to be extended and the loop 120 to spread. Can be banned. For this reason, compared with the case where the rotation operation is performed while pressing a slight exposed portion (or a small portion provided for holding the belt) of the belt 102 by hand, the operability for a person with a finger disability is improved. It can be improved significantly. Moreover, since a detaching operation such as a hook-and-loop fastener is not required, the setting procedure until the rotation operation is started and the procedure after the operation is completed are facilitated.

  Then, the loop 120 of the belt 102 is wound around the object b as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5B, and the support 101 is rotated in the direction of arrow Y in a state where the main body does not rotate with respect to the object b. As the operation is performed, the belt 102 is sandwiched between a part of the support 101 (the part that functions as a presser) and the object b, so that the loop 120 of the belt 102 is narrowed as the support 101 rotates. The object b can be tightened and rotated with the lever force against the rotational resistance.

  In this embodiment, a resistance portion 101X that suppresses loosening of the belt 102 is provided in a portion that functions as a belt presser in the support 101 as shown in FIG. The resistance portion 101X has a wavy (or serrated) cross section in cross section. When the loop 120 of the belt 102 is squeezed and the object B is tightened, the resistance portion 101X comes into pressure contact with the belt 102 and the belt 102 is pulled. It is forbidden to loosen.

  Even with such a configuration, since the belt 102 is only moored on the outer surface of the support 101, there is no need to insert the belt 102 through a narrow place. For this reason, it is only necessary to reinsert the belt 102 into the opening S of the metal fitting 131 as necessary, and a detachable structure that can be easily set again by a person with a finger disability can be obtained. In addition, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to provide a hollow portion or a holed portion in the support 101 itself, and there is an advantage that the structure of the support 101 itself is simple and the material and form that can be used as the support 101 are highly flexible. This is the same as the embodiment.

  In particular, the mooring means 103 of this embodiment only regulates the belt 102 along the support 101 so as not to be separated from the support 101 by a certain distance. Therefore, it is possible to easily prohibit the belt 102 from being extended and the loop 120 from expanding. For this reason, compared with the conventional structure where a slight exposed portion of the belt (or a small portion provided for holding the belt) must be operated while being limitedly pressed by hand, it is more difficult for the handicapped person. The operability of is excellent. In addition, even though the size of the loop 120 can be changed, there is no need for a detaching operation for temporarily holding the belt 102. Therefore, setting is easier, and the procedure and operation leading to the rotating operation are completed. Subsequent steps are also simplified.

  In particular, the mooring means 103 includes only the metal fitting 131 that is an insertion portion that is attached to the support 101 and forms the opening S through which the belt 102 is inserted, so that the belt 102 is inserted using simple metal parts or the like. Therefore, it is possible to easily realize a configuration that secures a sufficient opening S, and it is simple and excellent in usability. Of course, resin parts may be used instead of metal parts.

  In this case, the metal fitting 131 as the insertion portion is attached to the outer periphery b1 of the object b as shown in FIG. Since the tightening force is increased, a larger rotational force can be obtained without difficulty as compared with the case where the rotational force is applied only by the belt 102, particularly as a tool. It becomes effective in the case. When used as a tool, the strength of the belt is further required. Therefore, it is more preferable to use a nylon belt or the like that has a rubber cover or a nylon belt or the like that is bonded with rubber.

Furthermore, since only the metal fitting 131 as the insertion portion is attached to the support 101 and one end of the belt 102 is attached to a part of the metal fitting 131, both the metal fitting 131 and the belt 102 are attached to the support 101. In comparison, the mounting state can be optimized.
Furthermore, since the resistance portion 101X that suppresses the looseness of the belt 102 is provided in a portion of the support 101 that functions as a belt presser, both the simplification of the structure and the good procedure and the prevention of the belt from loosening are preferably achieved. Can be made.

  In addition, the effect of having a long and flat support is the same as that of the above embodiment.

  In FIG. 4, the metal fitting 131 that is the insertion portion has a substantially U-shaped configuration, and a pair of support shafts 131 a that face each other at the open end side are rotatably attached to the side surface of the support rod 101. As shown, the fitting 131 that is the insertion portion has a substantially closed shape (preferably a completely closed shape), and the support 101 is passed through the inside thereof, and the base shaft portion of the fitting 131 is placed on the back surface of the support 101. 131c may be rotatably attached. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the support 101 has a distal end (head) 1 b provided with the resistance portion 101 </ b> X that is wider than the proximal end 1 a by at least the thickness of the metal fitting 131. A stepped portion 101b may be formed in the middle of this, and a metal fitting 131 may be hooked on the stepped portion 101b during use to prevent removal from the support rod 101, and at the same time, a tightening force of the belt 102 may be generated. According to these, attachment of the metal fitting 131 to the support 101 becomes simple or unnecessary, and the strength of the metal fitting 131 can be effectively improved by making it a completely closed shape. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide a shaft hole etc., the strength fall of the said support 101 can be prevented effectively. Therefore, these can be a particularly effective structure when used as a tool. Of course, also in these cases, in consideration of the thickness of the support 101, it is preferable to bend the side portion of the metal fitting 131 by an amount corresponding to the thickness of the support 101 in order to keep the belt 102 along the support 101 as much as possible. This is the same as in the case of FIG.

  Moreover, in order to make it a mooring means which can fix a loop temporarily before operation and can also change the magnitude | size of the loop, you may make it a structure like the belt stopper generally used for the belt of the trousers. According to such a belt stopper structure, an existing metal fitting or a structure similar to the existing metal fitting can be adopted, so that it can be simply adopted and has excellent usability.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, the specific structure of each part is not limited only to embodiment mentioned above, A various deformation | transformation is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, a hook-and-loop belt wrench can be used as a tool, and a metal fitting belt wrench can be used for opening bottles, cans and lids.
