DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
FIG. 1 shows a structure of a cover 5A of a pull handle 4 for sliding the slider 3 of the fastener 2 on the front body of the sportswear 1 of the first reference example.
[0012]
The cover 5A is inserted into a metal (or even synthetic resin) handle 4 and has an insertion portion 5a that covers the entire length of the handle 4, and a round hole ( The locked portion) 5b is opened. In addition, if the insertion part 5a of the cover 5 is inserted into the handle 4, it can be attached to the existing handle 4, but the cover 5 may be outsert-molded on the handle 4. .
[0013]
The round hole 5b of the cover 5A coincides with the front body on one side of the sportswear 1 when the slider 3 is pulled up to the uppermost position when the cover 5A is tilted together with the puller 4 to the front body side. A projection plate 6 having a projection (locking portion) 6a is attached. The protrusion 6a and the round hole 5a are set to dimensions that allow the round hole 5a to be detachably fitted to the protrusion 6a.
[0014]
The cover 5A and the protruding plate 6 are formed of rubber or synthetic resin and are colored, for example, black. The rubber or synthetic resin is preferably a silicon-based material having flexibility.
[0015]
In the case of the structure of the cover 5A of the pull handle 4 of the first reference example, the fastener 2 is closed by the slider 3, and the round hole 5b of the cover 5A of the pull handle 4 is inserted into the protrusion 6a of the protrusion plate 6 of the sportswear 1 from above. By forcibly fitting and engaging (state shown in FIG. 1 (c)), the puller 4 does not dangle in the locked state (one-touch insertion type).
[0016]
Further, when opening the fastener 2 with the slider 3, if the lower end of the cover 5A of the pull handle 4 is slightly pulled up with a finger, the round hole 5b is detached from the projection 6a of the projection plate 6 of the sportswear 1. Then, the slider 3 can be slid by grasping the puller 4 with a finger.
[0017]
Therefore, especially when the fastener 2 is used in front of the sportswear 1, it does not roll with the rhythm that the athlete is running, and does not hit the sportswear 1, making it difficult to make an unpleasant roll sound. Excellent functionality.
[0018]
In addition, since the cover 5 can be freely designed with characters, figures, symbols, etc., it is excellent in design.
[0019]
FIG. 2A shows the structure of the cover 5B of the pull handle 4 of the second reference example.
[0020]
Similar to the first reference example, the cover 5B is inserted into the pull handle 4 and has an insertion portion 5a that covers the entire length of the pull handle 4, and the lower end portion of the insert portion 5a has a first reference example. Instead of the hole 5a, a laterally U-shaped recess (locked portion) 5c is formed.
[0021]
The front body on one side of the sportswear 1 when the slider 3 is pulled up to the uppermost position is covered when the cover 5B is tilted to the front body side together with the puller 4 as in the first reference example. A projection plate 6 having a projection (locking portion) 6a to which the 5B U-shaped recess 5c can be forcibly fitted from the side is attached.
[0022]
In the structure of the cover 5B of the pull handle 4 of the second reference example, the fastener 2 is closed by the slider 3, and the U-shaped recess 5c of the cover 5B of the pull handle 4 is formed on the protrusion 6a of the protrusion plate 6 of the sportswear 1. By forcibly engaging and hooking from the side, the puller 4 does not dangle in the locked state (one-touch hook type).
[0023]
Further, when opening the fastener 2 with the slider 3, if the lower end of the cover 5 </ b> B of the puller 4 is slightly hooked and pushed with a finger, the U-shaped recess 5 c comes out of the protrusion 6 a of the protrusion plate 6 of the sportswear 1. Since it comes off, the slider 3 can be slid by grasping the puller 4 with a finger.
[0024]
Therefore, as in the first reference example, an unpleasant rolling sound is less likely to occur, so that the functionality is excellent and the design can be freely performed so that the design is also excellent.
[0025]
FIG. 2B shows the structure of the cover 5C of the pull handle 4 of the third reference example.
[0026]
Similarly to the first reference example, the cover 5C is inserted into the pull handle 4 and has an insertion portion 5a that covers the entire length of the pull handle 4, and the lower end portion of the insert portion 5a has a first reference example. Instead of the hole 5a, a large-diameter disk-shaped part 5d is formed, and a hook button (locked part) 7a on one side is fixed to the lower surface of the disk-shaped part 5d.
[0027]
As with the first reference example, the front body on one side of the sportswear 1 when the slider 3 is pulled up to the uppermost position is covered when the cover 5C is tilted to the front body side together with the puller 4. A hook plate 7 having a hook button (locking portion) 7b on the other side to which the hook button 7a on one side of 5C can be forcibly fitted from above is attached.
[0028]
In the case of the structure of the cover 5C of the pull handle 4 of the third reference example, the fastener 2 is closed by the slider 3, and the hook button 7a of the cover 5C of the pull handle 4 is connected to the hook button 7 on the other side of the hook plate 7 of the sportswear 1. By forcibly engaging and engaging with 7b from above, the puller 4 does not dangle in the locked state (one-touch hook (dot) button type).
[0029]
When opening the fastener 2 with the slider 3, the hook button 7 a is detached from the hook button 7 b of the hook plate 7 of the sportswear 1 when the lower end of the cover 5 </ b> C of the puller 4 is slightly pulled up with a finger. Therefore, the slider 3 can be slid by holding the pulling hand 4 with a finger.
[0030]
Therefore, as in the first reference example, an unpleasant rolling sound is less likely to occur, so that the functionality is excellent and the design can be freely performed so that the design is also excellent.
[0031]
In the first to third reference examples, since the cover 5 (A to C) is tilted and locked to the front body side on one side, when operating the cover 5 (A to C) together with the puller 4 Since the projection plate 6 and the hook plate 7 do not get in the way, it can be opened and closed smoothly. However, as shown in FIG. 3, if necessary from the viewpoint of design, the projection 6a ( Alternatively, the hook button 7b) of the hook plate 7 can be positioned directly above the fastener 2. In this case, when the cover 5 (A to C) is operated together with the puller 4, the protrusion 6a (or the hook button 7b) may be bent upward with a finger.
[0032]
FIG. 4 shows the structure of the slider 3 and the cover 5D of the pull handle 4 of the embodiment.
[0033]
The cover 5D has a sheath-like insertion portion 5a to be inserted into the pull handle 4, and a locking projection 5e for locking the small hole 4a at the lower end portion of the inserted pull handle 4 is provided in the insertion portion 5a. Is formed.
[0034]
A wide cover portion 5f that covers the upper surface of the slider 3 is formed integrally with the upper portion of the insertion portion 5a. Since the cover portion 5f is thin and the insertion portion 5a is thick, the boundary portion between the insertion portion 5a and the cover portion 5f is easily bent in the lifting direction of the puller 4.
[0035]
The cover 5D is integrally formed of rubber or resin, particularly flexible silicon rubber or resin.
[0036]
With the structure of the slider 3 and the cover 5D of the puller 4 of the embodiment, even if the slider 3 and the puller 4 are made of metal by attaching the cover 5D across the slider 3 and the puller 4, Since the insulating cover 5D of the slider 3 contacts the puller 4 in a rolling manner, static electricity is hardly generated.
[0037]
Accordingly, the cover 5D can be used as a fastener for a uniform for an operator who needs countermeasures against static electricity. On the other hand, the cover 5D can be flexed when the handle 4 is lifted, so that it has excellent functionality and the cover 5D can be freely designed. So it will be excellent in design.
[0038]
On the other hand, the puller 4 is formed in a shape as shown in FIG. 5, and a belt material 8 formed of rubber or resin, particularly flexible silicon rubber or resin, in the laterally long hole 4b of the puller 4. By adhering the inner surfaces to each other, a puller can be obtained. In this case, the anti-slip embosses 8a can be formed vertically and horizontally on the outer surface of the belt material 8. For example, when the belt material 8 is black, the embossing 8a can be formed in two colors so as to be yellow.
[0039]
Further, the handle 4 is formed in a shape as shown in FIG. 6, and a knob 9 having a horizontal axis made of rubber or resin, in particular, a flexible silicone rubber or resin, is formed below the handle 4. By performing outsert molding, it can be used as a puller. In this case, the anti-slip embosses 9a can be formed vertically and horizontally on the outer surface of the knob 9. For example, when the knob 9 is black, the emboss 9a can be molded in two colors so that it is yellow.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, according to claim 1 of the present invention, the slider and the puller are made of metal by attaching a cover formed of rubber or resin across the slider and the puller. However, it is possible to use it as a fastener for uniforms for workers who need countermeasures against static electricity because it is difficult to generate static electricity because the slider is insulatively touching the puller to make contact. Since it can be bent when lifting the puller, it has excellent functionality, and the cover can be freely designed so that it can be designed well.
