Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は衣類品、靴下等を一つに束ねたり、商品にループピンを挿入してブランドラベル、値札、素材説明書、使用説明書等のタグを取付ける事ができるループピン結合装置に関するものである。
【従来の技術】
一般に、衣類品、日常小物、サンダル、靴等を結束したり、当該商品にブランドラベル、値札等を効率的に取り付けるために、従来より種々のループピン及びループピン結合装置が用いられてきた。
かかる従来に於けるループピン１０の一具体例の構成を図７乃至図１１を参照して説明する。
即ち、図７にかかるループピン１０は、可撓性を有するフィラメント部１２と、当該フィラメント部１２の一方の端部に設けられた適宜の係合部１６を有する挿通部１３と、前記フィラメント部１２の他方の端部に設けられている前記挿通部１３を不可逆的に通す為の挿通穴１４を有すると共、当該挿通穴１４内に当該挿通部１３の当該係合部１６、１６と係合し合う一対のブレード部１７、１７’とが設けられているソケット部１５が設けられているものであり、然も、上記した従来のループピン１０は、例えば、前記した具体例と同様に、当該挿通部１３、当該ソケット部１５及び当該フィラメント部１２とが、通常ナイロン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル等の合成樹脂で一体成形されているのである。
そして、上記した具体例に於いては、図８に示す様に、任意の商品例えば鞄２００に於いて、当該フィラメント部１２を当該ラベル類４００に予め設けられた孔部４１０に通した後、例えば、把手３００と鞄本体２００との間に当該ソケット部１５にフィラメント部１２を挿通し当該ラベル類４００を保持する機能を有する当該ソケット部１５の孔部１４に当該挿通部１３を貫通させる事によって、所定のラベル類４００を、当該商品２００に係止させる様にしたものである。
処で、上記したループピン１０は、例えば、図７に示す様に、当該ループピン１０単独で使用する場合もあるが、多くの場合は、作業効率を向上する為に、図９に示す様なループピン１０を複数個並列状に配置したループピンシート６００を使用する。
即ち、図９に示す個々のループピン１０が複数個、当該フィラメント部１２が互いに平行に隣接して配列されると共に、互いに近接して配置される当該複数個の挿通部１３若しくはその近傍部と当該複数個のソケット部１５若しくはその近傍部とは、それぞれ個別に設けられた接続バー部２４、２４’にそれぞれ接続せしめられている構造を有するものであって、当該挿通部近傍及びソケット部近傍部は、更に接続部１１、１１’によって相互に連結されている。
上記したループピン集合体６００は、従来のループピンと同様に通常ナイロン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル等の合成樹脂で一体成形されている。
そして、当該ループピン６００は、図１０に示す様な従来公知のループピン結合装置２０に搭載されて、操作レバー２２を操作する毎に当該ループピン１０が一本ずつ打ち出されて商品にラベル類を取り付ける事が出来る。
図１０は、当該ループピン６００を従来公知の当該ループピン結合装置２０に搭載した状態を示したものである。
図１１は、従来公知のループピン結合装置２０の上部平面図であって、当該ループピン結合装置２０には左右に当該ループピン６００の接続バー２４、２４’が挿入される縦溝４０、４１が形成されている。
又、当該縦溝４０には、例えば、ループピン６００のソケット部１５を連結する接続バー２４’が挿入され、縦溝４１には、挿通部１３を連結する接続バー２４が挿入される。
また、打ち出し装置２０には、図示するレバー２２を操作によって駆動される打ち出しピン４２が縦溝４１の側方に配設されており、挿通部１３を接続バー２４の連結部１１’から切り離して、筒状の中空針２１に沿って前方へ一個づつ押し出す。
一方、当該ソケット部１５は、湾曲状の中空ガイド部を構成する案内管４３に沿って適宜の押し出し手段、例えば打ち出しピン或いはギヤ・ラック方式による押し出し手段２５等を利用して押し出され、その先端部４４に於いて上記した打ち出しピン４２によって中空針を構成する中空ガイド部２１を介して押し出される挿通部１３と嵌合する様に構成されている。
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
然しながら、かかる従来例に於ける当該ループピン結合装置２０に於いては、当該湾曲状のガイド部４３は上記したループピン結合装置２０の本体部の全面部に固定的に設けられているので、当該湾曲状のガイド部４３内にループピンのソケット部が詰まってしまったり、当該湾曲状のガイド部４３がループピン結合装置２０を落下させたり他の部品或いは他の装置と衝突したりして衝撃が加わった場合に、その衝撃により破損することがあり、その場合には、本体全部を取り替える必要があり、コストが高くなってしまうという問題が有った。
又、当該ループピン結合装置２０に於いては、図１２に示す様に、ラベル類４００の孔部４１０を当該ループピン結合装置２０の中空針２１に嵌合させた後、当該レバー２２を操作して当該フィラメント部１２を当該商品２００に係止させるものであり、当該中空針２１の当該ループピン結合装置２０の表面２６からの突出長を長くした場合には、当該ループピン結合装置２０に於ける当該ソケット部１５を案内する当該湾曲状の案内管４３は、当該中空針２１と対向して設けられているので、その間隔が短くなってしまい、商品の必要な部位に当該湾曲状の案内管４３を引っかける事が困難になり、作業上の制約が発生すると同時に作業効率の低下を来す原因でも有った。
つまり、上記した従来のループピン結合装置２０に於いては、当該ループピンをタグと共に所定の商品に取り付ける場合には、当該商品の構造に適合した当該湾曲状の案内管４３の先端部４４と当該中空針２１の先端部との間隙を採用しなければならず、従って、当該間隔を種々に変更した複数種のループピン結合装置２０を予め用意しておき、取り付ける商品に応じて適宜選択して使用する必要があり、コスト高となる原因となっていた。
そこで本発明の目的は、上記した従来の問題を解決し、当該ループピン結合装置２０に於いて故障や破損に対して容易に対応出来、且つ如何なる商品に対しても柔軟に対応出来る構成を有するループピン結合装置を提供することにある。
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記した目的を達成するため、基本的に以下に記載されたような構成を採用するものである。すなわち本発明の第１の態様は、フィラメント部、当該フィラメント部の一端部に設けられた挿通部及び当該フィラメント部の他端部に設けられた当該挿通部を不可逆的に挿通保持せしめるソケット部と、を有するループピンを適宜の商品に係止させるためのループピン結合装置であって、当該装置の本体部に設けられているグリップ部に回動可能に軸支されたグリップレバーと、該グリップレバーの駆動に応答して当該ループピンのソケット部を移動させる第１の打ち出しピンと、当該グリップレバーの駆動に応答して当該ループピンの挿通部を移動させる第２の打ち出しピンとで構成されると共に、当該装置の本体部の前端部に、当該第１の打ち出しピンがその内部を摺動する湾曲状の第１の中空ガイド部と当該第２の打ち出しピンがその内部を摺動し、その先端部が当該第１の中空ガイド部の先端部に指向せしめられている第２の中空ガイド部とが設けられているループピン結合装置において、当該装置の本体部の前端部側壁面を平坦状に形成すると共に、当該前端部側壁面内に所定の形状を有する凹陥部を設けておき、且つ、当該第１の中空ガイド部と当該第１の中空ガイド部を一体的に保持する第１の取り付け部とで構成された第１中空ガイド部構造体の当該第１の取り付け部の少なくとも一部の外壁形状を当該凹陥部の縁部の少なくとも一部の縁部の形状と一致させた形状に構成した当該第１中空ガイド部構造体を、当該両者の縁部形状が一致する部分を位置決め基準として使用することにより、当該第１の中空ガイド部が当該本体部に対して着脱自在に取り付けられている事を特徴とするループピン結合装置であり、又本発明に於ける第２の態様としては、フィラメント部、当該フィラメント部の一端部に設けられた挿通部及び当該フィラメント部の他端部に設けられた当該挿通部を不可逆的に挿通保持せしめるソケット部と、を有するループピンを適宜の商品に係止させるためのループピン結合装置であって、当該装置の本体部に設けられているグリップ部に回動可能に軸支されたグリップレバーと、当該グリップレバーの駆動に応答して当該ループピンのソケット部を移動させる第１の打ち出しピンと、当該グリップレバーの駆動に応答して当該ループピンの挿通部を移動させる第２の打ち出しピンとで構成されると共に、当該装置の本体部の前端部に、当該第１の打ち出しピンがその内部を摺動する湾曲状の第１の中空ガイド部と当該第２の打ち出しピンがその内部を摺動し、その先端部が当該第１の中空ガイド部の先端部に指向せしめられている第２の中空ガイド部とが設けられているループピン結合装置において、当該装置の本体部の前端部側壁面を平坦状に形成すると共に、当該前端部側壁面内に所定の形状を有する凹陥部を設けておき、且つ、当該第２の中空ガイド部と当該第２の中空ガイド部を一体的に保持する第２の取り付け部とで構成された第２中空ガイド部構造体の当該第２の取り付け部の少なくとも一部の外壁形状を当該凹陥部の縁部の少なくとも一部の縁部の形状と一致させた形状に構成した当該第２中空ガイド部構造体を、当該両者の縁部形状が一致する部分を位置決め基準として使用することにより、当該第２の中空ガイド部が当該本体部に対して着脱自在に取り付けられている事を特徴とするループピン結合装置である。
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の当該ループピン結合装置は、上記した技術構成を採用している事によって、当該ループピン結合装置を使用中に当該第１の中空ガイド部が破損したり、当該ループピンのソケット部が当該第１の中空ガイド部内に詰まってしまった場合には、簡単な操作によって容易に当該第１の中空ガイド部を交換することが可能となり、又、当該ループピンを係止させる商品の形態、形状に応じて、適切な中空針長さを有する第２の中空ガイド部を選択し、簡単な操作で当該第２の中空ガイド部を交換することが可能であるので、当該ループピン結合装置の本体そのものを未だ使用可能な状態にあるものを廃棄すると言う無駄がなくなり、更には、予め異なる高さを持つ中空針を有するループピン結合装置を複数個用意しておくという必要性もなくなるので操作性の向上はもとより、タグ取り付けに係る経費を大幅に低減させることが可能となる。
【実施例】
以下に、本発明にかかるループピン結合装置の具体例の構成を図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
即ち、図１及び図２は、本発明に於けるループピン結合装置２０に適用した場合の一具体例の構成を示す図であって、図中、フィラメント部１２、当該フィラメント部１２の一端部に設けられた挿通部１３及び当該フィラメント部１２の他端部に設けられた当該挿通部１３を不可逆的に挿通保持せしめるソケット部１５とを有するループピン１０を適宜の商品に係止させるためのループピン結合装置２０であって、当該装置２０の本体部３３に設けられているグリップ部２３に回動可能に軸支されたグリップレバー２２と、該グリップレバー２２の駆動に応答して当該ループピン１０のソケット部１５を移動させる第１の打ち出しピン２５と、当該グリップレバー２２の駆動に応答して当該ループピン１０の挿通部１３を移動させる第２の打ち出しピン４２とで構成されると共に、当該装置２０の本体部３３の前端部２６に、当該第１の打ち出しピン２５がその内部を摺動する湾曲状の第１の中空ガイド部４３と当該第２の打ち出しピン４２がその内部を摺動し、その先端部３５が当該第１の中空ガイド部４３の先端部４４に指向せしめられている中空針状の第２の中空ガイド部２１とが設けられており、且つ、当該第１の中空ガイド部４３が当該本体部３３に対して着脱自在に取り付けられているループピン結合装置２０が示されている。
上記した本発明に於けるループピン結合装置２０の詳細な構成は、図１０に示す従来例の構成と実質的に同じであるので、その詳細な説明は省略する。
又、本発明に於ける、当該ループピン結合装置２０に於いては、上記したループピン結合装置２０の本体部３３の構成に加えて、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１が、当該本体部３３に対して着脱自在に取り付けられている事も望ましい。
勿論、本発明に於ける、当該ループピン結合装置２０に於いては、当該第１の中空ガイド部４３と当該第２の中空ガイド部２１の双方が当該本体部３３に対して着脱自在に取り付けられているもので有っても良い。
本発明に於ける当該ループピン結合装置２０に使用される当該第１の中空ガイド部４３及び／又は当該第２の中空ガイド部２１は金属材料若しくは合成樹脂材料のいずれかで形成されている事が望ましく、特に、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１は、後述する様に当該中空針状に形成する中空ガイド部の長さを適宜に変更して形成する必要があり、その為金属材料で構成される事が望ましい。
一方、本発明に於ける、当該ループピン結合装置２０に使用される当該第１の中空ガイド部４３は、図３に示す様に、当該中空ガイド部４３と一体的に形成されている第１の取り付け部１０２を有する第１中空ガイド部構造体１００を形成している事が望ましい。
当該第１中空ガイド部構造体１００に於いては、当該第１の中空ガイド部４３と当該第１の取り付け部１０２とが、例えば、合成樹脂材料によって一体的に成型されていることが望ましい。
一方、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１は、図４に示す様に、当該中空ガイド部２１と一体的に形成されている第２の取り付け部１０３を有する第２中空ガイド部構造体１０１を形成している事が望ましい。
当該第２中空ガイド部構造体１０１に於いては、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１と当該第２の取り付け部１０３とが、例えば、合成樹脂材料或いは金属材料によって一体的に成型されていることが望ましい。
本発明に当該ループピン結合装置２０の詳細な具体例を図５を参照しながら説明する。
即ち、図５に示す本発明の具体例は、図１に示す本発明にかかるループピン結合装置２０の当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００と当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１を当該ループピン結合装置２０の前端部２６に取り付けた場合の例を示すものである。
即ち、第１の中空ガイド部４３を有する第１の中空ガイド部構造体１０１と第２の中空ガイド部２１を有する第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１とをそれぞれの一部が当該ループピン結合装置２０の前端部２６の略中央部で重複され当該重複部を一つの係止手段、例えばネジ３６を介して本体部３３の前端部２６に固着したものである。
その際、当該ループピン結合装置２０の本体部３３に於ける前端部２６には、図６（Ｂ）に示す様に、一部が相互に重複された当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００と当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１とが嵌合しえる凹陥部５１が形成されていることが望ましい。
更に、本具体例に於いては、当該凹陥部５１内には、当該両中空ガイド部構造体が相互に重畳される部分に対応する位置に上記した係止手段３６のネジ部を受け入れるネジ孔部３９及び、当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００と当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１のそれぞれが容易に当該凹陥部５１内に挿入出来る様に、位置合わせ手段３７として位置合わせピン３７を設ける事も望ましい。
従って、図６（Ｂ）に示す様に、当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１の当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００との相互に重なり合う位置に当該係止手段３６が貫通するネジ孔部９０と当該位置合わせ手段３７が嵌合する位置決めピン用貫通孔４９を有していることが望ましく、又当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００の当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１との相互に重なり合う位置に当該係止手段３６が貫通するネジ孔部３８と当該位置合わせ手段３７が嵌合する位置決めピン用凹部５０が形成されていることが望ましい。
更に、本発明に於ける当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００及び当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１には、位置合わせを一層容易にするために、当該各構造体１００、及び１０１の一部に別の位置合わせ手段を設ける事も望ましく、例えば、当該凹陥部５１にテーパー部５２及び５４を形成し、且つ当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００の一部に当該テーパー部５２に一致するテーパー部５３を形成し、又当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１には、当該テーパー部５４に一致するテーパー部５５を形成しておく事も望ましい。
つまり、本発明に於いては、当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００及び当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１の少なくとも一方の当該取り付け部は、当該ループピン結合装置２０の本体部３３の前端部２６に形成された凹陥部５１内に嵌合する様な形状を有するものである事が好ましい。
尚、図５に於いて３４‘と表示されている孔部は、上記した第１の打ち出しピン３４の摺動通路であり、４２’と表示されている孔部は、上記した第２の打ち出しピン４２の摺動通路である。
又、本発明に於いては、当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００及び当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１の少なくとも一方の当該取り付け部の少なくとも一部と当該ループピン結合装置本体部に於ける当該凹陥部の一部には、相互の配置位置を特定しうる位置決め手段が設けられているものである事が好ましい。
かかる構成によって、本発明に於いては、例えば、ネジ一本で当該第１の中空ガイド部４３や中空針である第２の中空ガイド部２１を容易に取り外しすることが出来、又それを容易に取り付けることができるので、タグの取り付け操作を大幅に効率化すると同時にコストの低減を実現することが出来る。
尚、本発明に於ける当該第２の中空ガイド部２１と当該第２の取り付け部１０３とから構成されている当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１は、前記した様に、当該第２の取り付け部１０３表面から突出する当該中空針２１の高さを任意に設定しえるものであり、実用的には、当該中空針２１の高さを予め３種類或いは５種類に変えた第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１を作成し、それぞれの第２の中空ガイド部構造体を混在させたセットとしてユーザーに提供することが望ましい。
つまり、本発明に於いては、当該ループピン結合装置２０のユーザーが、所定のタグを所定の商品に添着させたい場合に、その商品の構造等を勘案して、当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体を、当該第２の取り付け部の表面から当該第２の中空ガイド部先端部までの長さが相互に異なる様に構成された複数種の第２の中空ガイド部構造体の中から選択された一つの第２の中空ガイド部構造体を使用することによって、タグ取り付け操作をより効率化させることが出来る。
次に、本発明に於ける他の具体例を図１３乃至図１６を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
即ち、本具体例は、基本的には上記した具体例に於けるループピン結合装置の構造と同じ構造のループピン結合装置２０を使用するものであるが、特には、当該ループピン結合装置２０のサイズを小型化する目的、及び当該ループピン１０を当該ループピン結合装置２０に搭載して、各ループピン１０の打ち出し操作を実行中に当該フィラメント部１２同志が絡まって操作不能に陥る自体の発生を有効に防止する為に、図１１に示す当該ループピン結合装置２０の上部平面図に於いて、当該挿通部１３を固定する接続バー部２４の挿入スリット４１が形成されている面を当該ソケット部１５を固定している接続バー部２４’の挿入スリット４０が形成されている面よりも低くなるように形成したものであり、従って、当該ループピン結合装置２０の幅がかなり狭くなり小型化が実現出来る。
従って、係る構成を採用した結果、当該湾曲状の案内管４３は、上記の具体例に於いては、ほぼ平面内での湾曲状態を示していたのに対し、本具体例に於ける当該湾曲状の案内管４３は、三次元の空間内での湾曲形状を有しているものである。
本具体例に於ける当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００の具体的な構成は図１４に示されており、前記具体例と同一の構成部分に対しては同一の符号がふされているので、それらに関する具体的な説明は省略する。
又、本具体例に於ける当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１の具体的な構成は図１５に示されており、前記具体例と同一の構成部分に対しては同一の符号がふされているので、それらに関する具体的な説明は省略する。
一方、当該ループピン結合装置２０の本体部３３に於ける前端部の形状及び凹陥部５１の状況は、図１６（Ｂ）に示す様な形状を呈しており、当該第１の中空ガイド部構造体１００と当該第２の中空ガイド部構造体１０１とが図１６（Ｂ）に示す通り、両者の少なくとも一部が重複重畳された状態で当該凹陥部５１内に嵌合配置されネジ３６によって着脱自在に固定されるものである。
尚、図１６（Ｃ）から明らかな様に、本具体例においては、当該第２の中空ガイド構造体１０１の右端部分のみが、当該本体部３３の前端部２６に設けられた凹陥部５１内にはめ込まれ、残りの部分は、当該本体部３３の前端部２６の表面から突出した形を示すものである。
本発明に於ける当該第２の中空ガイド部２１と第２の取り付け部１０３を一体的に成形して製造する場合、金属材料である場合には、コストが高くなるという問題がある反面、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１は強固であるので、作業者が作業中に当該第２の中空ガイド部２１を所望の商品の所望の孔部に無理やりに挿入したり、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１を固い部材にぶつけてしまったりする際でも破損することはないが、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１と第２の取り付け部１０３を合成樹脂材料で一体的に成形して製造する場合、コストは安価であるものの、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１の部分は軟弱であるため、上記の作業の際につぶれてしまったり、破断或いは屈曲してしまい、その後の使用が不可能になるので、頻繁に交換する事が必要である。
その為、本発明に於ける別の具体例に於いては、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１と当該第２の取り付け部１０３とは、金属材料で構成された部材と合成樹脂材料で構成された部材とが複合されて形成されているものである。
そして、より具体的には、図１７に示す様に当該第２の取り付け部１０３を合成樹脂材料で構成し、当該第２の中空ガイド部２１を金属材料で構成されたスリット部５７を有する湾曲状円筒体４５で構成し、当該金属製円筒体４５を当該第２の取り付け部１０３に形成されている孔部４６に嵌合させて固定させたものであってもよく、図１８に示す様に、合成樹脂材料で構成された当該第２の取り付け部１０３から一体的に突出して形成された、合成樹脂材料からなる当該第２の中空ガイド部の一部を構成する湾曲状或いは円筒状の基礎部５６と当該基礎部５６内にその一部が嵌合されている金属材料から構成された円筒部４５とで構成されているものであっても良い。
その場合、当該金属材料からなる円筒部４５の第１の端部４７は、当該基礎部５６の先端部から外方に突出している事が望ましい。
又、当該第２の取り付け部１０３には、当該湾曲状或いは円筒状の基礎部５６の内部空間形状と実質的に同一の内部空間形状を有する孔部４６が当該基礎部５６と連通する様に構成されており、当該金属製円筒部４５の第２の端部４８が当該基礎部５６を通過して当該孔部４６内に挿入されて嵌合しているものである。
本発明の本具体例に於いて使用される金属材料からなる第２の中空ガイド部を構成する円筒部４５の構成の一具体例を図１９に示す。
本具体例では、所定の太さの金属棒を研削により図１９に示す様なスリット５７を有する円筒状部６０と湾曲状に形成され当該円筒状部６０よりも肉厚に形成されている後部６１とで構成され、当該円筒部４５は、図２０に示す様に当該第２の取り付け部１０３の当該孔部４６内に挿入され嵌合固定される。
その際当該肉厚部分は、当該第２の取り付け部１０３の孔部４６に設けた適宜の段差部等と当接してストッパーの機能を果たすものである。
一方、図２１乃至図２３に示す他の具体例では、金属製板状態から打ち抜き方法によって図２１（Ａ）及び（Ｂ）に示す様に、図示の様な所望の形状を持つ金属片を得た後、成形してスリット部を有する円筒形の第２の中空ガイド部として使用される円筒部４５を製造する。
本具体例に於いては、当該金属円筒部４５の後端部４８側に突起片６２、６２、６４、６５等を図２３に示す様に形成し、当該突起片を当該第２の取り付け部１０３の孔部４６に設けられた適宜のスリット部６６内に挿入して、固定用ストッパーとして使用するものである。
【発明の効果】

又、当該ループピンを係止させる商品の形態、形状に応じて、適切な中空針長さを有する第２の中空ガイド部を選択し、簡単な操作で当該第２の中空ガイド部を交換することが可能であるので、当該ループピン結合装置の本体そのものを未だ使用可能な状態にあるものを廃棄すると言う無駄がなくなり、更には、予め異なる高さを持つ中空針を有するループピン結合装置を複数個用意しておくという必要性もなくなるので操作性の向上はもとより、タグ取り付けに係る経費を大幅に低減させることが可能となる。

Alignment pin 37 as alignment means 37 so that each of the portion 39 and the first hollow guide portion structure 100 and the second hollow guide portion structure 101 can be easily inserted into the recessed portion 51. It is also desirable to provide
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6B, the screw hole through which the locking means 36 penetrates at the position where the second hollow guide part structure 101 and the first hollow guide part structure 100 overlap each other. It is desirable to have a positioning pin through-hole 49 into which the portion 90 and the positioning means 37 are fitted, and the second hollow guide portion structure 101 of the first hollow guide portion structure 100. It is desirable that a screw hole 38 through which the locking means 36 penetrate and a positioning pin recess 50 in which the positioning means 37 are fitted are formed at positions overlapping each other.
Further, in the first hollow guide part structure 100 and the second hollow guide part structure 101 in the present invention, the structures 100 and 101 of the respective structures 100 and 101 are arranged in order to make alignment easier. It is also desirable to provide another alignment means in a part. For example, tapered portions 52 and 54 are formed in the recessed portion 51, and the tapered portion 52 is formed in a part of the first hollow guide portion structure 100. It is also desirable to form a tapered portion 53 that matches, and to form a tapered portion 55 that matches the tapered portion 54 in the second hollow guide portion structure 101.
That is, in the present invention, at least one of the attachment portions of the first hollow guide portion structure 100 and the second hollow guide portion structure 101 is the front end of the main body portion 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20. It is preferable to have a shape that fits into the recessed portion 51 formed in the portion 26.
In FIG. 5, the hole portion indicated by 34 ′ is a sliding passage of the first launch pin 34 described above, and the hole portion indicated by 42 ′ is the second launch portion described above. This is a sliding passage of the pin 42.

It is preferable that a part of the concave portion is provided with positioning means capable of specifying the mutual arrangement position.
With this configuration, in the present invention, for example, the first hollow guide portion 43 and the second hollow guide portion 21 that is a hollow needle can be easily removed with one screw, and it is easy to remove it. Since it can be attached to the tag, the tag attachment operation can be made much more efficient, and at the same time, the cost can be reduced.
Note that, as described above, the second hollow guide portion structure 101 composed of the second hollow guide portion 21 and the second mounting portion 103 in the present invention is the second hollow guide portion structure 101. The height of the hollow needle 21 protruding from the surface of the attachment portion 103 can be arbitrarily set. Practically, the second hollow is obtained by changing the height of the hollow needle 21 to three types or five types in advance. It is desirable to create the guide part structure 101 and provide it to the user as a set in which the respective second hollow guide part structures are mixed.
That is, in the present invention, when the user of the loop pin coupling device 20 wants to attach a predetermined tag to a predetermined product, the structure of the second hollow guide portion is taken into consideration in consideration of the structure of the product. The body is selected from a plurality of types of second hollow guide part structures configured such that the length from the surface of the second attachment part to the tip of the second hollow guide part is different from each other. By using only one second hollow guide part structure, the tag attaching operation can be made more efficient.
Next, another specific example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
That is, this specific example basically uses the loop pin coupling device 20 having the same structure as that of the loop pin coupling device in the above-described specific example, but in particular, the size of the loop pin coupling device 20 is reduced. The purpose of reducing the size and mounting the loop pin 10 on the loop pin coupling device 20 effectively prevents the filament parts 12 from becoming entangled and becoming inoperable during the driving operation of each loop pin 10. Therefore, in the top plan view of the loop pin coupling device 20 shown in FIG. 11, the socket portion 15 is fixed to the surface where the insertion slit 41 of the connection bar portion 24 for fixing the insertion portion 13 is formed. The connecting bar portion 24 ′ is formed so as to be lower than the surface on which the insertion slit 40 is formed. The width of 0 is considerably narrow, and downsizing can be realized.
Therefore, as a result of adopting such a configuration, the curved guide tube 43 shows a curved state in a substantially plane in the above-described specific example, whereas the curved guide tube 43 in the present specific example. The guide tube 43 has a curved shape in a three-dimensional space.
A specific configuration of the first hollow guide portion structure 100 in this specific example is shown in FIG. 14, and the same reference numerals are given to the same components as in the specific example. Therefore, the detailed description about them is abbreviate | omitted.
In addition, the specific configuration of the second hollow guide portion structure 101 in this specific example is shown in FIG. 15, and the same reference numerals are given to the same components as in the specific example. Therefore, a specific description thereof will be omitted.
On the other hand, the shape of the front end portion and the state of the recessed portion 51 in the main body portion 33 of the loop pin coupling device 20 have a shape as shown in FIG. 16B, and the first hollow guide portion structure. As shown in FIG. 16 (B), 100 and the second hollow guide part structure 101 are fitted and arranged in the recessed part 51 in a state where at least a part of both is overlapped and detachable by a screw 36. It is fixed to.
As is clear from FIG. 16C, in this specific example, only the right end portion of the second hollow guide structure 101 is inside the recessed portion 51 provided in the front end portion 26 of the main body portion 33. The remaining portion shows a shape protruding from the surface of the front end portion 26 of the main body portion 33.
In the case where the second hollow guide portion 21 and the second mounting portion 103 in the present invention are integrally formed and manufactured, when the material is a metal material, there is a problem that the cost is high. Since the second hollow guide portion 21 is strong, the operator forcibly inserts the second hollow guide portion 21 into a desired hole of a desired product during the work, or the second hollow guide portion 21 Even when the 21 is hit against a hard member, it will not be damaged. However, when the second hollow guide portion 21 and the second mounting portion 103 are integrally molded with a synthetic resin material, the cost is low. Is inexpensive, but the portion of the second hollow guide portion 21 is so soft that it may be crushed or broken or bent during the above work, making subsequent use impossible. It is necessary to change frequently It is.
Therefore, in another specific example of the present invention, the second hollow guide portion 21 and the second attachment portion 103 are made of a member made of a metal material and a synthetic resin material. Are formed in a composite manner.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the second mounting portion 103 is made of a synthetic resin material, and the second hollow guide portion 21 is curved having a slit portion 57 made of a metal material. The cylindrical body 45 may be configured so that the metal cylindrical body 45 is fitted and fixed in the hole 46 formed in the second mounting portion 103, as shown in FIG. Further, a curved or cylindrical shape forming a part of the second hollow guide portion made of a synthetic resin material, which is integrally projected from the second mounting portion 103 made of a synthetic resin material. It may be composed of a base portion 56 and a cylindrical portion 45 made of a metal material partially fitted in the base portion 56.
In that case, it is desirable that the first end portion 47 of the cylindrical portion 45 made of the metal material protrudes outward from the tip portion of the base portion 56.
In addition, the second mounting portion 103 is configured such that a hole 46 having an internal space shape substantially the same as the internal space shape of the curved or cylindrical base portion 56 communicates with the base portion 56. The second end portion 48 of the metal cylindrical portion 45 passes through the base portion 56 and is inserted and fitted into the hole portion 46.
One specific example of the configuration of the cylindrical portion 45 constituting the second hollow guide portion made of the metal material used in this specific example of the present invention is shown in FIG.
In this specific example, a metal rod having a predetermined thickness is ground to form a cylindrical portion 60 having a slit 57 as shown in FIG. 19 and a curved rear portion, which is formed thicker than the cylindrical portion 60. 61, the cylindrical portion 45 is inserted into the hole 46 of the second mounting portion 103 and fixedly fitted as shown in FIG.
At that time, the thick portion abuts on an appropriate stepped portion or the like provided in the hole 46 of the second mounting portion 103 to fulfill the function of a stopper.
On the other hand, in another specific example shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, a metal piece having a desired shape as shown in the drawing is obtained by a punching method from a metal plate state as shown in FIGS. 21 (A) and (B). Then, the cylindrical part 45 used as a cylindrical second hollow guide part having a slit part is manufactured.
In this specific example, protrusions 62, 62, 64, 65, etc. are formed on the rear end 48 side of the metal cylindrical part 45 as shown in FIG. 23, and the protrusions are formed on the second attachment part. It is inserted into an appropriate slit 66 provided in the hole 46 of 103 and used as a fixing stopper.
【The invention's effect】
The loop pin coupling device according to the present invention adopts the above-described technical configuration, can easily cope with failure and breakage in the loop pin coupling device 20, and is flexible for any product. It is possible to provide a loop pin coupling device having a configuration that can be accommodated.
In addition, the second hollow guide portion having an appropriate hollow needle length is selected in accordance with the form and shape of the product for locking the loop pin, and the second hollow guide portion is exchanged with a simple operation. Therefore, there is no waste of discarding the loop pin coupling device itself that is still usable, and moreover, a plurality of loop pin coupling devices having hollow needles with different heights are prepared in advance. Since there is no need to keep the tag, it is possible not only to improve the operability but also to significantly reduce the cost for tag attachment.
