Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an adjuster which is mainly provided for adjusting dimensions of underwear, clothes, and the like so that the size of the adjuster can be adjusted within a certain range. 2. Description of the Related Art Underwear, clothes, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "underwear, etc.")
There are two types: one that fits the wearer's body with ample room due to the expansion and contraction of the material itself, and one that aims to securely fix the body by wearing one that fits the size of the wearer's body, but among these are typical Brassiere, corset, girdle, which is a ladies' underwear, is the underwear that is worn to form a beautiful figure as the basis of western clothing, corrects physical defects and protects the body by correct wearing these, The purpose is to wear the outer garment more effectively. [0003] The above-mentioned women's underwear is free to move and is easy to put on and take off, is easy to finely adjust the size, is hygienic and easily conforms to the skin, is easy to maintain and save, It is necessary to satisfy functional conditions such as durability in washing and washing. At the same time, women's underwear is required to have a decorative appearance that satisfies the user's mental satisfaction. A part of the above-mentioned women's underwear or a part of the wearing band is freely openable for easy attachment and detachment of a user, and a locking means used for locking the open portion is as follows. Even when the locking position cannot be visually confirmed, it is necessary to provide a size adjustment function that allows easy attachment and detachment operation, secure locking, and easily adjusts the degree of body tightening. In addition, if the locking means is bulky, it may give the user a feeling of foreign matter or pain, and although it is not directly exposed, its shape may appear on the outer garment, so it is desirable that the locking means be small, Those that impair the external decorativeness of women's underwear are not preferred. Therefore, as a locking means for locking an open portion of underwear or the like, a spring hook composed of a combination of a hook formed by bending a metal wire and a latch has conventionally been used. Attach hooks to the other end of the opening so as to correspond to the latches arranged in a plurality of rows at one end of the opening of the wearing band. The size can be adjusted within a certain range. [0006] However, since the spring hook itself has only an engaging function, a plurality of latches are provided on the mounting band with an interval between them to enable size adjustment. It depends on the means of arranging the hooks and hooking any of them properly, but there is a limit in manufacturing the interval for attaching the hooks, and if the hooks are attached close together, the hooks are locked in the wrong position. In addition, since there is a risk that the mounting band may not be correctly mounted, the mounting bracket cannot be mounted close to a certain distance or less, and the size cannot be finely adjusted. When a spring hook is attached in the manufacture of underwear or the like, a tape (hereinafter referred to as a "hook eye tape") in which hooks or hooks are sewn at predetermined intervals on a cloth in advance is cut to a required length, and the undergarment or the like is cut off. According to this means, it is simpler to sew the hook and the latch separately to the mounting belt, but the number of steps to sew the hook and the latch to the tape and the end of the cut surface of the hook eye tape are This requires time and effort to sew on underwear or the like after performing the partial processing, which makes it difficult to improve the manufacturing efficiency and raises the manufacturing cost. Further, since a plurality of latches are arranged in parallel, it is necessary to secure a certain width of the mounting band, and a thin strap-shaped mounting band cannot be used. Along with this, there has been a problem that a large number of metal fittings with poor decorativeness are exposed and the appearance of this part is impaired. In view of the above, according to the present invention, a fine adjustment of the size can be easily performed by imparting a size adjusting function to the locking means itself. It is another object of the present invention to provide a small and inexpensive adjuster that imparts decorativeness to the locking means to improve the appearance of underwear and the like. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has an adjuster base attached to one end of an open portion of a mounting band, and an adjuster base attached to the other end of the open portion. An operating body that is detachably attached to the adjuster base and locked, wherein the support of the operating body penetrates through a penetration of the adjuster base and moves the operating body to an arbitrary position of the adjuster base. The adjuster is characterized in that the adjuster base and the operating body are locked and released by a swing operation of sliding the operating body up and down with the sliding arm as a fulcrum. The adjuster base is provided with a mounting band connecting means at one end or both ends of the plate-like body, and a penetrating hole which is a long hole having a fixed width on the longitudinal axis of the plate-like body, and a width larger than the penetrating hole.
