更に、請求項３の発明では、
ワーク部材が、ベース面部とワーク面部にそれぞれ設けられたブラシ類、またはスポンジからなっている、という技術的手段を講じている。
【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、この発明の折畳式指掛け構造体の好適実施例について図面を参照しながら説明する。
図１から図４に示す折畳式指掛け構造体１は、ワーク部材として頭髪用のブラシ１０を設けた構造からなっている。
【０００７】
即ち、この折畳式指掛け構造体１は、合成樹脂材などからなって、展開時にプレート状となり、折畳時に略立方体となる。
即ち、中央に略正方形からなるベース面部２を有し、該ベース面部２の左右の辺に沿って裏面側に断面ＶないしＵ字状の第１ヒンジ部２ａおよび第２ヒンジ部２ｂが形成されて、表側に略直角に屈曲可能にそれぞれ連設された左右対称のワーク面部３、４を連接している。
【０００８】
また、上記ベース面部２の下方の辺に沿って第３ヒンジ部２ｃが形成されており、該第３ヒンジ部２ｃを支点として表裏いずれの側にも略直角に屈曲可能に連結された指掛け面部５が一体に連設されている。
この指掛け面部５は、前記左右のワーク面部３、４のベース面部２との連結部分を除いた外周の辺（図示例では三辺）に対応した長さで３つの指掛け構成面部５１、５２、５３が、前記ベース面部２の下方の辺に沿った第３ヒンジ部２ｃと平行して屈曲支点となる第１補助ヒンジ部５ａおよび第２補助ヒンジ部５ｂで連結されている。
【０００９】
ここで図示例では、ベース面部２と指掛け構成面部５１、５２、５３のそれぞれの裏面には湾曲面５４が形成されており、使用時に外向きに折り畳まれて筒体になった際に指にフィット感を与えうるようになっている。
また、前記第３ヒンジ部２ｃと第１、第２補助ヒンジ部５ａと５ｂとは、表裏いずれにも略直角に屈曲しうるように表裏両面に断面ＶまたはＵ字状の溝が対称に形成された公知のヒンジ溝形状からなっている。
【００１０】
次に、前記ベース面部２と左右のワーク面部３、４の表側には、左右のワーク面部３、４をベース面部２に直角となるように屈曲して折り畳めるようにワーク部材となる頭髪用ブラシ１０を取付けている。
即ち、頭髪用ブラシ１０は、３分割されてそれぞれのブラシ部材１０Ａ、１０Ｂ、１０Ｃがベース面部２と左右のワーク面部３、４に設けられており、図５から図８で模式的に示すように相互が衝合し合って折畳めないことが無いように位置をずらしている。
【００１１】
図示例では、ベース面部２に取り付けたブラシ部材１０Ａの配置を基準とし、左右のワーク面部３、４に設けたブラシ部材１０Ｂ、１０Ｃのブラシ１０ｂ、１０ｃが折畳時にブラシ部材１０Ａのブラシ１０ａの隙間に位置（図５参照）するように前後方向に僅かにずらして配置している。
また、左右のワーク面部３、４に設けたブラシ部材１０Ｂ、１０Ｃは、折畳時にブラシ部材１０Ｂのブラシ１０ｂの隙間にブラシ部材Ｃのブラシ１０ｃが位置して上下に重なる（図５参照）ように相対的に左右方向にずらして配置している。
これにより、ブラシ部材１０Ａ、１０Ｂ、１０Ｃは相互に衝合することなくブラシ間の隙間に入り込んで、コンパクトに折り畳むことができる。
【００１２】
次に、前記ベース面部２の上方の辺２ｄの一部と指掛け面部５の先端には、該指掛け面部５を表側に曲げてベース面部２に連結して筒状となし、また裏側に曲げて逆向きの環状としてベース面部２に連結して筒状となした際に着脱可能に凹凸係止する一対の係止手段６ａ、６ｂを設けている。
図示例の場合、ベース面部２の上方の端部中央に係止突部となる鉤状の突部６ａを突設しており、指掛け構成面部５３の先端部の略中央には上記突部６ａと係脱可能な係止受部となる凹部６ｂを突設している。
この突部６ａと凹部６ｂは、前述のように指掛け構成面部５１〜５３を表裏いずれの側から折りまげて筒状に形成した場合にもこれに係止しうるように構成されている。
【００１３】
上記のように構成された折畳式指掛け構造体１は、不使用時には、ベース面部２の左右のワーク面部３、４をヒンジ部２ａ、２ｂに沿って内向き（図中上方）に直角に屈曲して対峙させ（図４、図８参照）、次いで前記指掛け面部５を展開した後に上記ワーク面部３、４の外周に沿ってヒンジ部２ｃ、５ａ、５ｂを順次内向きに屈曲してワーク面部３、４間の隙間を塞いで密閉した立方体に折り畳み、係止手段６ａ、６ｂを係止して上記折畳み姿勢を保持する（図３、図６参照）。
これにより、折畳式指掛け構造体１はコンパクトに折り畳まれると共に、頭髪用ブラシ１０は内部に密閉されるので、外部からのゴミや埃が侵入することがなく、またブラシ１０の付着物が周囲に分散したり付着することもない。
【００１４】
次に、この折畳式指掛け構造体１の使用時には、ベース面部２の左右にワーク部材３、４が略同一水平面となるように展開し、指掛け面部５は不使用時とは逆向きに第３〜第５ヒンジ部２ｃ、５ａ、５ｂを逆に折りまげて筒状とし、その先端の指掛け構成面部５３の凹部６ｂをベース面部２の突部６ａに係止して筒体とする（図３参照）。
これにより、使用者は、１本または複数本の指を上記指掛け面部５で形成された筒体に挿入して、ベース面部２の左右に展開されたワーク面部３、４上の頭髪用ブラシ１０を用いて整髪することができる。
【００１５】
上記実施例でワーク部材の一例として頭髪用ブラシを示したが、図９に示すように可撓性、柔軟性を有するブラシ、例えば洋服用の刷毛や歯ブラシなどのブラシ類１０’であってもよい。
この場合は、各ブラシ部材１０Ａ’、１０Ｂ’、１０Ｃ’の配置を相互にずらさなくても、互いによけて重なり合って折り畳むことができる。
その他の構成は前記実施例と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
【００１６】
次に、図１０に示すワーク部材は、やや弾性を有するエチケットブラシや、靴磨き用のスポンジを用いた異なる実施例を示す。
このワーク部材２０も、前記実施例と同様に３分割されてそれぞれのワーク部材２０Ａ、２０Ｂ、２０Ｃがベース面部２と左右のワーク面部３、４に設けられている。
この場合は、ワーク部材２０Ａ、２０Ｂ、２０Ｃ相互が弾性を有しているので折畳時にぶつかっても相互に押圧して弾性変形して、収納することができる。
その他の構成は前記実施例と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
【００１７】
次に、図１１は、ワーク部材３０が、電源部３１と、スピーカー３２と、タッチセンサー３３とからなる防犯警報器の場合の応用例を示す。
この折畳式指掛け構造体１では、ベース面部２上にスピーカー（ブザー）３２に配置され、左のワーク面部３にはボタン電池からなる電源部３１が配置され、右のワーク面部４にはスイッチとなるタッチセンサー３３が設けられている。
そして、それぞれの素子の間はリード線で接続されて回路を構成している。
なお、タッチセンサー３３は、接触部３３ａを外方へ突出して感知しやすいように構成することが好ましい。
【００１８】
また、スピーカー（ブザー）３２や電源部３１は露出してもよいがケーシングで覆ってもよい。
これによれば、指掛け面部５を筒体に折り畳んで図示の使用状態とし、指を入れて、前記接触部３３ａを軽く押しつけることでタッチセンサー３３を作動してブザーを鳴らすことができ、簡便な痴漢防止用の防犯ブザー等として使用することができる。
また、ワーク部材以外の構成は前記実施例と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
【００１９】
次に、図１２に示す応用例としての折畳式指掛け構造体１では、ワーク部材４０が、ミラーや拡大レンズなどからなっている。
図示例では、倍率の異なる拡大レンズ４１、４２、４３が、ベース面部２、左右のワーク面部３、４にそれぞれ枢着されており、それぞれの面に対して直角となるまで枢動することができる。
枢着構成は、図示例の場合、拡大レンズ４１〜４３に軸部Ｐが突設され、該軸部をガイド孔Ｇに貫挿してガイドする一対のガイドレールＬが形成されている。
【００２０】
ここでガイド孔Ｇは、端部で立ち上がって、直交位置で拡大レンズの姿勢をロックしうるようになっている。
従って、使用時には、使用者は必要とする倍率の拡大レンズを選択し、該当の拡大レンズをスライドして直角に起立させて、対象物を見ることができる。
この拡大レンズの摺動乃至起立作動の構成は上記実施例に限定されず、ヒンジ構造を用いて起倒するなど、その他、公知の起伏構造を用いることができる。
また、ワーク部材以外の構成は前記実施例と同様であるのでその説明を省略する。
【００２１】
上記実施例では、左右のワーク面部３、４を正方形または長方形とした場合を例示したが、その他の多角形であってもよい。
図１３では左右のワーク面部３、４が五角形からなっており、その場合に、底辺がベース面部２に第１、第２ヒンジ部２ａ、２ｂを介して連設されていればよく、指掛け面部５は、前記左右のワーク面部３、４のベース面部２との連結部分となる第１、第２ヒンジ部２ａ、２ｂを除いた外周の辺の長さ（図示例では３ａ〜３ｄ＝４ａ〜４ｄ）に設定されると共に、その外周の辺の数（５−１）４に対応する４つの指掛け構成面部５１〜５４が前記ベース面部２の下方の辺に沿った第３ヒンジ部２ｃと平行する第１、第２、第３補助ヒンジ部を介して連設されている。
【００２２】
次ぎに左右のワーク面部３、４は多角形状に限らず略円形状であってもよい。
図１４では左右のワーク面部３、４が底辺がベース面部２に第１、第２ヒンジ部２ａ、２ｂを介して連設されており、それ以外は円弧形状からなる略円形状からなっている。
この場合、指掛け面部５は、前記左右のワーク面部３、４のベース面部２との連結部分となる第１、第２ヒンジ部２ａ、２ｂを除いた外周の辺の長さに設定されている。
【００２３】
この指掛け面部は前記実施例のように中途にヒンジを有して区分されておらず、可撓性を有して一連に形成されている。
これにより、前記円弧形状のワーク面部３、４の外周に沿って覆うことができるし、また指掛け面部５を折り曲げて筒状とする際には略断面円弧状の筒形状に形成することができる。
【００２４】
この指掛け面部５の構造は、ワーク面部３、４の外周が円弧形状に限らず、前記多角形状の場合にも適用することができる（図１５参照）。
なお、これらの指掛け面部の側端部には、左右のワーク面部の外周辺との間に補助的に凹凸係合する補助係止手段７ａ、７ｂを適宜に設けてもよい（図１４参照）。
これにより、折畳時におけるワーク面部２、３と指掛け面部５との係合を一層確実に行うことができる。
【００２５】
上記実施例ではワーク部材の一例を列挙したが、この発明ではワーク部材は特に限定されるものではなく、指を挿入して使用することができるものであって、ワーク面部２、３を折り畳んだ際にそのエリアに収納しうるものであればどのような構成であってもよい。
また、上記実施例は、それぞれの構成を適宜置き換えて用いることがてき、図示例に限定されるものではない。
その他、要するにこの発明の要旨を変更しない範囲で種々設計変更しうること勿論である。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
この発明の折畳式指掛け構造体は、上記構成から成っているので、指に掛け止めて使用するブラシ類その他各種のワーク部材を、不使用時には密閉することができ、使用時には展開して指に掛け止めることができる。
これにより、不使用時にはワーク部材が露出せずに密閉されるので、ワーク部材の付着物が周囲に付着したり、逆に周囲のゴミや埃がワーク部材に付着することがなく、周囲を清潔に保つことができると共に、ワーク部材の機能の信頼性を損なう虞れもない。
また、ワーク部材を収納する別体の袋などを要さず、使用時に指を通す筒体となる指掛け面部を逆に折り曲げるだけでワーク部材を囲んで収納することができるので、簡便且つ手軽に使用することができて極めて有益である。
更に、ワーク部材は種々の構成のものを取り付けることができるので汎用性が高い。

[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the foldable finger hook structure of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The foldable finger hanging structure 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has a structure in which a hair brush 10 is provided as a work member.
[0007]
That is, the foldable finger hook structure 1 is made of a synthetic resin material or the like, has a plate shape when expanded, and has a substantially cubic shape when folded.
That is, a base surface portion 2 having a substantially square shape is provided at the center, and a first hinge portion 2a and a second hinge portion 2b having a V-shaped cross section are formed on the back surface along left and right sides of the base surface portion 2. The left and right symmetrical work surface portions 3 and 4 are connected to each other so as to be bent at a substantially right angle on the front side.
[0008]
Further, a third hinge portion 2c is formed along a lower side of the base surface portion 2, and a finger hooking surface portion which is connected to the front side and the back side so as to be able to be bent substantially at a right angle to both sides using the third hinge portion 2c as a fulcrum. 5 are integrally connected.
The finger hanging surface portion 5 has three finger hanging constituting surface portions 51, 52 having a length corresponding to the outer peripheral sides (three sides in the illustrated example) excluding the connection portions of the left and right work surface portions 3, 4 with the base surface portion 2. 53 are connected by a first auxiliary hinge portion 5a and a second auxiliary hinge portion 5b serving as bending fulcrums in parallel with the third hinge portion 2c along the lower side of the base surface portion 2.
[0009]
Here, in the illustrated example, a curved surface 54 is formed on the back surface of each of the base surface portion 2 and the finger-hook configuration surface portions 51, 52, and 53, and is folded outward when used to form a cylindrical body when used. It is designed to give a fit.
The third hinge portion 2c and the first and second auxiliary hinge portions 5a and 5b are symmetrically formed with a V-shaped or V-shaped cross section on both front and back surfaces so that the front and back surfaces can be bent substantially at right angles. It has a known hinge groove shape.
[0010]
Next, on the front sides of the base surface portion 2 and the left and right work surface portions 3 and 4, a hair brush as a work member is formed so that the left and right work surface portions 3 and 4 are bent and folded so as to be perpendicular to the base surface portion 2. 10 is attached.
That is, the hair brush 10 is divided into three, and the respective brush members 10A, 10B, and 10C are provided on the base surface portion 2 and the left and right work surface portions 3 and 4, as schematically illustrated in FIGS. The positions are shifted so that they do not collide with each other and cannot be folded.
[0011]
In the illustrated example, the brushes 10b and 10c of the brush members 10B and 10C provided on the left and right work surface portions 3 and 4 are used as the brush 10a of the brush member 10A when folded, based on the arrangement of the brush member 10A attached to the base surface portion 2. They are slightly shifted in the front-rear direction so as to be positioned in the gap (see FIG. 5).
Further, the brush members 10B and 10C provided on the left and right work surface portions 3 and 4 are arranged such that the brush 10c of the brush member C is positioned in the gap between the brushes 10b of the brush member 10B when folded, and overlaps vertically (see FIG. 5). Are shifted relative to the left and right.
Thereby, the brush members 10A, 10B, and 10C can enter the gap between the brushes without abutting each other, and can be folded compactly.
[0012]
Next, at a part of the upper side 2d of the base surface portion 2 and the tip of the finger hanging surface portion 5, the finger hanging surface portion 5 is bent to the front side and connected to the base surface portion 2 to form a cylindrical shape, and bent to the back side. A pair of locking means 6a and 6b are provided which are detachably concavely locked when connected to the base surface portion 2 to form a cylindrical shape as an inverted ring.
In the case of the illustrated example, a hook-shaped protrusion 6a serving as a locking protrusion is protrudingly provided at the center of the upper end of the base surface portion 2. A concave portion 6b serving as a lock receiving portion that can be engaged with and disengaged from the protruding portion is provided.
The projecting portion 6a and the concave portion 6b are configured so as to be able to be engaged with the finger-hook constituting surface portions 51 to 53 even when the finger-hook constituting surface portions 51 to 53 are formed into a cylindrical shape by being folded from either side.
[0013]
When not in use, the foldable finger-holding structure 1 configured as described above is configured such that the left and right work surfaces 3 and 4 of the base surface 2 are directed inward (upward in the figure) at right angles along the hinges 2a and 2b. After the finger resting surface portion 5 is developed, the hinge portions 2c, 5a, and 5b are sequentially bent inward along the outer peripheries of the work surface portions 3 and 4 to be opposed to each other (see FIGS. 4 and 8). The space between the surface parts 3 and 4 is closed and folded into a hermetically sealed cube, and the locking means 6a and 6b are locked to maintain the folding position (see FIGS. 3 and 6).
As a result, the foldable finger-holding structure 1 is folded compactly, and the hair brush 10 is sealed inside, so that dust and dirt from the outside do not enter, and the attached matter of the brush 10 is removed around. It does not disperse or adhere to the surface.
[0014]
