Description

  The present invention relates to a tubular continuum, particularly a stopper for winding a tubular continuum such as a hose that can be soft and flattened, and maintaining the wound state, and a structure for preventing the winding from being wound.

  When storing long hoses, especially wound bodies such as hoses that can be softened and flattened, the winding state may be damaged by tightening the center to the outermost side of the wound body with a belt, rope, rubber band, etc. Prevention is common practice. Although there is no particular problem with the above method in daily life, the above method is inefficient and desired to be improved in a field where many wound bodies are used or an emergency operation such as fire extinguishing is required.

  A hook-and-loop fastener is provided in the vicinity of the female fittings of the fire hose as a method to hold the fire hose in its wound state (winding state) and easily release the wound state when necessary to enable extension and extension of the fire hose. The first binding band is detachably attached, the second binding band provided with a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the middle part of the fire hose, and the hook-and-loop fasteners of both the binding bands are engaged when the hose is wound. A method of attaching to the paper has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). However, in this method, it is necessary to accurately determine the positions of both binding bands so that the surface fastener of the first binding band and the surface fastener of the second binding band face each other when wound. However, since the hose winding state is slightly different in actual use, it is difficult to wind the hose so that the positions of the binding bands are exactly opposite to each other. In addition, since the binding band only engages the outermost hose of the hose winding body, when carrying the winding body with the outer periphery of the hose, the hook-and-loop fastener may be disengaged and the winding state may be lost. is there.

  Also, wind a wound body such as a rubber hose on a U-shaped binding tool, and after winding the rubber hose, attach a plate-shaped auxiliary tool to the open end of the binding tool and wind the wound body. A method of fixing is proposed (see Patent Document 2). However, this method requires three to four binding tools and auxiliary tools, and it is difficult to quickly perform the hose winding and stretching operations.

To do.

  According to the present invention, it is easy to wind and store a flat continuous body such as a tape of fibers or metal, various hoses, and the flat continuous body can be developed from a storage state by a simple operation. When the present invention is used for a fire extinguishing hose, it is easy to store a wound body, and at the same time, the deployment of the hose is easy and easy in the event of fire extinguishing. Is big.

  The flat continuum used in the present invention is made of a soft cloth that can be flattened during storage, although it becomes a pipe shape due to the pressure of water when used, such as a fire hose, water supply, drainage hose, etc. It includes rubber or resin hoses and fiber or resin strips used in various applications. The inventors of the present invention have found that, in comparison with a wound body of a continuous body that is difficult to flatten such as a wire or a pipe and has a substantially circular cross section, the wound body of a flat continuous body has a friction between the circumferential bands of the flat continuous body. Focusing on the fact that the form of the wound body is relatively stable because of its strength, the inventors have invented a stopper and a structure for preventing the winding using this characteristic.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of an example of a stopper according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the stopper shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a winding stop structure in which the stopper according to the present invention is used for a fire hose winding body which is an example of a flat continuous body. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line XX ′ of FIG. It is sectional drawing.

  In FIG. 1, the long piece stopper 1 includes a winding part 2, an insertion part 3, a fixing part 4, and a guide part 5. The winding part 2 has a loop-like engagement element 6 on its front surface and a hook-like engagement element 7 on its back surface. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the back surface hook-shaped engagement element 7 in the vicinity of the open end of the tightening portion 2 is a loop-shaped engagement element piece 10 attached to the surface of the outer end portion 9 of the wound body 8. The end of the stopper 1 is detachably fixed to the outer end 9. Further, when the stopper 1 is wound around the outer end portion 9, a part of the tightening portion 2 overlaps with the other portion of the tightening portion 2, and the surface loop-like engagement element 6 of the tightening portion 2. And the back hook-like engagement element 7 are engaged, and the stopper 1 is detachably and firmly connected to the outer end 9.

  The length of the tightening portion 2 is desirably about 1.2 to 2.0 times the outer circumference of the outer end portion 9 of the wound body 8, and more preferably about 1.3 to 1.5 times the length. Is preferred. When the length of the tightening portion 2 is less than that, the engagement force between the tightening portion 2 and the outer end portion 9 is low, and when the length is more than that, it is difficult to perform the tightening or releasing operation of the tightening portion 2. It is not preferable.

  Since the tightening portion 2 is a portion to which a force is particularly applied, the strength is preferably high, and the width is desirably about 3 to 8 cm, and more preferably about 4 to 6 cm. Since the engaging force of the hook-like engaging element and the loop-like engaging element is adjusted by the strength and density of both engaging elements, an appropriate member is selected and used according to the purpose. Naturally, the length and width of the stopper of the present invention are appropriately selected depending on the size of the flat continuous body and the wound body.

  As the hook-shaped engagement element, a hook-shaped hook hook made of cloth with a hook-shaped element or a mushroom-shaped element standing on a base fabric or a hook-shaped element, a mushroom-shaped element or an arrowhead-shaped element, which is a molded body of a thermoplastic resin, stands on a substrate. Resin hook hook fasteners can be used. The cloth hook surface fastener can provide a stopper having a high number of repeated uses, and the resin hook surface fastener has an advantage of providing a stopper having a high engaging force.

  The loop-shaped engaging element can be used without limitation as long as it is a fiber material that can be engaged with the hook-shaped engaging element. Examples thereof include loop surface fasteners in which loop-like fibers are erected on a base fabric, pile fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and fluffed fiber fabrics.

  The stopper of the present invention can be manufactured by bonding or heat-sealing the hook surface fastener and the loop surface fastener with the surfaces having no engaging element in contact with each other. Moreover, it can also be produced by providing a support such as a film or a non-woven fabric between them and bonding a hook surface fastener and a loop surface fastener to both surfaces thereof.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the insertion portion 3 is inserted from the outer end portion 9 of the wound body 8 to the opposite side surface from the outer side end 9 of the wound body, following the tightening portion 2. The flat continuous body bundle (circular belt) wound around is tightened to integrate the outer end 9 of the wound body 8 and the wound body main body. This part does not engage with other members, has mechanical strength, and has a smoothness that can pass through the gap between the adjacent belts (circular belt gap 11) wound around the wound body without any trouble. desirable. From this point, the insertion part 3 is preferably a strong cloth or a resin sheet. Moreover, in order for the guide part 5 to the insertion part 3 to insert the circumference band gap 11 easily, it is preferable that those widths are not narrow. It is desirable to make it narrower than the width of the winding part 2, and the widths of the insertion part 3, the fixing part 4 and the guide part 5 are preferably 0.6 to 0.9 times that of the winding part 2. In addition, although the width of the insertion part 3, the fixing | fixed part 4, and the guide part 5 may differ, when the productivity of the stopper 1 is considered, it is preferable that it is the same. The winding part 2 and the insertion part 3 are connected by sewing, adhesion, or heat fusion. When the insertion portion is made of a stretchable material, the effect of tightening by elastic force can be enhanced when the stopper is pulled and tied.

  The stopper of the present invention can be manufactured by appropriately combining the above-described members and sewing or bonding them. Further, a short loop surface fastener corresponding to the loop-like engagement element 6 of the winding fastening portion 2 is joined to the back surface of the hook-like engagement element 7 of the winding fastening portion 2 to the tape-like hook surface fastener, The hook-like engaging element in the guide portion 5 can be melted by heat treatment and formed into a flat surface to form a stopper. In this stopper, when the strength of the portion other than the tightening portion 2 is weak, a film, a nonwoven fabric, a fabric, or the like can be laminated on the portion as a reinforcing material.

  Furthermore, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the fastener, a tape-shaped resin molded hook surface fastener is used as the hook surface fastener, a tape-shaped nap fiber material is used as the loop surface fastener, and both are bonded to the back surface without the engaging element. It can also be manufactured by fusing and punching out the whole into the shape of FIG. Since this stopper has a two-layer structure, it has excellent strength. In this stopper, the hook-like engagement element and the loop-like engagement element of the insertion part 3 and the guide part 5 and the loop-like engagement element of the fixing part 4 are unnecessary elements. It is desirable to melt to a substantially flat surface. Since the unnecessary hook-like engagement element has a high resistance, it is desirable to melt as much as possible. However, if the hook-like engagement element is small and resistance is allowed, it can be continued. Since the loop-shaped engagement element has a relatively small resistance, there is no problem even if it continues without melting.

  The insertion portion 3 does not pass through the center of the wound body 8 but passes between the outer circumferential bands of the wound body, for example, the circumferential band gap 11 on the third to eighth rounds from the outside, thereby reducing the overall length of the stopper 1. It can be shortened, and workability at the time of use can be greatly improved. If the stopper 1 is long, the working time becomes long, and if the stopper is released and the stopper is extended, there is a high possibility that the operator will be tangled or stepped on and damaged, which is not preferable.

  The fixing portion 4 is inserted through the circumferential band gap 11 of the wound body 8 and passed through the opposite side of the wound body, and is further wound on the tightening portion 2 to be connected to the hook-like engagement element 7 ′ on the back surface thereof. The stopper 1 and the wound body 8 are fixed by engaging the loop-like engaging element 6 of the winding portion 2. Therefore, it is not necessary for the fixing portion 4 to have an engaging element on the surface, and it is preferable that the fixing portion 4 has a structure that does not exhibit a large resistance when the loop band gap 11 is inserted. The fixing portion 4 is preferably a fabric or a resin sheet. The hook-like engagement element 7 ′ of the fixing portion 4 is the same as the hook-like engagement element 7 of the winding fastening portion 2, and is manufactured in the same manner as the winding fastening portion 2 except that no loop surface fastener is used. Therefore, the details are omitted here. Before the fixing portion 4 is locked, the tightness of the insertion portion can be adjusted to adjust the fixing strength.

  The guide portion 5 is a portion that facilitates work for the hand when the stopper 1 is used, and is preferably manufactured by a smooth and hard member having no engagement element. Examples of such members include plastics, dense fiber materials, and resin-impregnated fiber materials.

  A coloring material or a phosphorescent light emitting material can be attached to the fixed portion 4 and / or the guide portion 5 to facilitate identification of the wound body 8, or a display material can be attached to the same portion to facilitate organization.

  The stopper 1 of the present invention can be manufactured by combining or sewing the above-described members. Further, a plastic molded hook surface fastener is used as a hook surface fastener, a loop surface fastener (nap fiber material) that forms the surface of the winding portion 2 is joined thereto, and the whole is punched and formed into the shape of FIG. You can also The fastener manufactured in this way has hook surface fasteners at portions corresponding to the insertion portion 3 and the guide portion 5, but the hook-like engagement element of the molded hook surface fastener is relatively small and has a large resistance to insertion. It can be used as a stop as it is. If necessary, it is possible to heat the molded hook surface fasteners of the insertion portion 3 and the guide portion 5 to melt the hook-like engagement elements so as to make the surfaces substantially free of engagement elements.

  In the structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a hook-and-loop fastener 10 having a loop-like engagement element is attached to the outer end portion 9 of the wound body 8, and an engagement element that is engaged in combination is attached to each part of the stopper. It is an attached structure. When the loop-like engagement element piece 10 is provided at the outer end 9 of the wound body 8, when the portion comes into contact with other fiber material, unnecessary engagement does not occur, and when it collides with another object Furthermore, the engagement element is excellent in that it is difficult to break. In some cases, it is possible to attach a hook-like engagement element piece to the outer end portion 9 of the wound body 8 and to make the engagement element provided on the stopper 1 in accordance with the hook-like engagement element piece in a combination opposite to the above configuration. is there.

  If the wound body 8 is fixed as described above, the wound body will not grow carelessly and disturb the storage state. Moreover, the stopper 1 can be easily removed from the wound body by the reverse procedure.

  A preferred example of the present invention is a fire hose stop. Hose width of about 10 cm (when flat) and wound body 8 with a wound body diameter of about 50 cm, winding part 2 width of about 4 cm, length of 40 cm, insertion part 3 width of about 3 cm, length of about 20 cm A stopper having a width of about 3 cm and a length of about 10 cm for the fixing portion 4 and a width of about 3 cm and a length of about 3 cm for the guide portion was prepared, and wound around the end fitting portion of the hose and fixed as shown in FIG. The hose wound in this state could be stored without breaking. Moreover, only by releasing the engagement of the stopper 1 and pulling out the insertion portion 3 from the wound body 8, the wound state of the hose was released and the extension could be easily extended. This operability is simpler than that of a conventional hose stopper structure using a belt or rubber band, and has an effect that it can be reliably extended.
