JP4331446B2 - Holder for portable tools - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a holder for detachably holding a portable tool such as a tape measure used at a construction site or the like, and is intended to securely attach the holder to an operator's belt.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A portable tool such as a tape measure is provided with a clip-type holding mechanism that is directly carried on the operator's belt so that the portable tool is easy to carry and can be easily removed when used.
[0003]
By the way, since the holding force of the holding mechanism is constant, when the worker uses a thick belt, it is not easy to attach and detach, and conversely, a thin belt is used. However, depending on the operator's posture, the holding position easily deviates and falls off.
[0004]
As an attempt to solve such a problem, there has been proposed a structure in which a tool is inserted into an upper open type case and the case is locked to an operator's belt by a belt passing portion. As such, a safety holder disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2756783 is known.
[0005]
The above safety holder has a flat opening formed in the belt passage part of the case, and is locked by passing the operator's belt through this flat opening, and it comes off as seen in a clip-type holding mechanism. It was supposed to be able to improve such problems.
[0006]
However, there are two main types of belts used by workers: 50mm and 60mm, and the belt loops provided in the holder case are compatible with wide belts in order to accommodate all of these belts. However, when a holder having such a belt threading part is attached to a narrow belt, there is a gap between the belt threading part and the belt, so the mounting posture is not stable, and the tool When attaching and detaching, there is a concern that the holder moves up or down together with the tool, which hinders the attaching and detaching operation of the tool.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to propose a novel holder for a portable tool that can be securely attached regardless of the size of the belt used by an operator.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention comprises a bracket that is fixedly held on a portable tool, and a holder body that holds the portable tool by inserting the bracket,
A belt passage portion is provided on the back surface of the holder main body to combine a long side wall and a short side wall to define a flat opening through which the belt passes, and the belt passage portion is detachably engaged to increase the opening width of the flat opening. Place the spacer to adjust ,
The spacer includes a base that sandwiches the short side wall of the belt passing portion, and an elastic member that presses the belt fixedly held by the base and passing through the belt passing portion in the width direction within the flat opening. It is a tool holder.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a holder for a portable tool according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a portable tool shown by way of example of a tape measure, and 2 is fixedly held on the portable tool 1 by fastening means such as screwing. A bracket 3 that can be used is a holder body that holds the portable tool 1 by inserting the bracket 2.
[0012]
Reference numeral 4 denotes a belt passing portion integrally provided on the back surface of the holder main body 3. The belt passing portion 4 has a long side wall 4a and the long side wall as shown in FIG. It consists of the short side wall 4b connected to 4a, and the flat opening H is divided by these combinations.
[0013]
A spacer 5 is detachably engaged with the belt passing portion 4 to adjust the opening width h of the flat opening H. As shown in FIG. 3, the spacer 5 has a base 5a that holds the short side wall 4b on the upper side or the lower side of the belt passing portion 4 in the length direction, and a belt passing portion 4 that is fixedly held by the base 5a. It consists of an elastic member 5b that presses the passing belt in the flat opening H in the width direction.
[0014]
In a holder that can be attached to a belt having a width of 60 mm, for example, when the belt is attached to a belt having a width of 50 mm, the gap formed in the opening width h of the flat opening H can be eliminated by arranging the spacer 5 in the belt passage portion 4. Can be held in a stable state.
[0015]
In FIG. 2, the base 5a of the spacer 5 is shown as an example in which the end face wall 4b is sandwiched in the length direction. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the base 5a is sandwiched in the thickness direction of the short side wall 4b. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, a structure may be adopted in which a push button is provided on the side surface of the base 5a and the push button is fitted into an opening provided in the long side wall 4a.
[0016]
The elastic member 5b has a shape as shown in FIG. 6 which becomes a shape-supported support jumping toward both ends, an O-ring type as shown in FIG. 7, and a spring type as shown in FIG. One having a plurality of elastic tongue pieces as shown in FIG. 9 or the like can be applied.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, by disposing the spacer in the belt passing portion of the holder, even when the spacer is attached to a narrow belt, it can be held in a stable state, and an operation of attaching and detaching the portable tool can be performed smoothly.
[0018]
In addition, since the spacer is merely fitted to the belt passing part of the holder, it can be easily removed, and can be easily accommodated when it is attached to a belt having a regular size.
