Description

The present invention relates to a magnet clip capable of temporarily fixing an object such as a mask or a handkerchief to a predetermined fixed position such as clothes, a mask set provided with the magnet clip, and a method of using the magnet clip.

The use of masks is increasing not only in Japan but also worldwide for measures against infectious diseases such as the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and influenza and measures against pollinosis.

A mask case can be used to temporarily store the removed mask. The mask case is useful because it can prevent the shape of the mask from collapsing, but there is a hygienic problem because viruses and the like adhering to the outside of the mask are put into the case.

On the other hand, even when the mask is used as a disposable item, the mask is temporarily placed in a predetermined place at home when returning home temporarily and going out again. However, it may be indistinguishable from other family masks.

Therefore, it is conceivable to use a magnet clip as shown in Patent Document 1 to fix the clothes or bags at a predetermined fixed position.

The magnet clip disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes two disc-shaped clip bodies to which magnets are attached, and a chain connecting the clip bodies. Clothes are sandwiched between two clip bodies and fixed by the attractive force of a magnet.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-326311

It is possible to fix an object such as a mask or a handkerchief to clothes by using the magnet clip disclosed in Patent Document 1. However, it is necessary to grasp and operate each clip body with both hands, and there is a problem that the fixing operation by the magnet clip is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is a magnet clip capable of fixing an object such as a mask or a handkerchief at a predetermined fixed position by a simple operation, a mask set provided with the magnet clip, and a magnet clip. The purpose is to provide usage.

The magnet clip according to one aspect of the present invention has a flexible sheet-shaped main body portion having a folded-back portion that is bent inward at the center in the longitudinal direction and folded back, and a first portion provided on one end side of the main body portion. A magnet, a second magnet provided on the other end side of the main body, and a second magnet that attracts each other while facing the first magnet when the main body is bent at the folded portion, and outside the main body and A first band portion provided at a position corresponding to the first magnet and capable of forming a space in which a finger can be inserted with respect to the outer surface of the main body portion, and a second band portion outside the main body portion and corresponding to the second magnet. It is provided at a position where the magnet is formed, and is provided with a second band portion capable of forming a space into which a finger can be inserted with respect to the outer surface of the main body portion.

A first magnet and a second magnet are provided at both ends of a flexible sheet-shaped main body. Clipping is performed by bending the central folded portion in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion inward and folding it back so that the first magnet and the second magnet face each other and attract each other.
The position corresponding to the first magnet is provided with a first band portion forming a space in which a finger can be inserted with respect to the outside of the main body portion, and the position corresponding to the second magnet is provided with respect to the outside of the main body portion. A second band is provided to form a space into which a finger can be inserted. As a result, the user can bring the first magnet and the second magnet closer to each other with one hand, for example, by inserting the thumb into the first band and inserting the middle finger or the index finger into the second band. .. Therefore, an object such as a mask or a handkerchief can be fixed at a predetermined fixed position by a simple operation with one hand. The mask means various forms of masks such as disposable non-woven masks and reusable cloth masks.
It is sufficient that the first band portion and the second band portion can form a space between them and the outer surface of the main body portion. For example, the band portion may be formed in an arch shape to form a space between the band portion and the outer surface of the main body portion before the finger is inserted, or the band portion is formed of rubber or the like and the main body is formed before the finger is inserted. The band portion may be in contact with the outer surface of the portion, and the band portion may be expanded by inserting a finger to form a space.

Further, in the magnet clip according to one aspect of the present invention, the space is formed between the first band portion and / or the second band portion and the outer surface of the main body portion before the finger is inserted. , The space becomes narrower in the direction from the central side to the tip side of the main body portion.

The space formed between the first band portion and / or the second band portion and the outer surface of the main body portion is formed so as to become narrower in the direction from the central side to the tip end side of the main body portion. That is, when a finger is inserted into the space between the band portion and the outer surface of the main body portion, the space becomes larger toward the insertion side. This not only makes it easier for the finger to be inserted, but also narrows the space as the finger goes deeper, so that the finger after insertion can be reliably held.

Further, in the magnet clip according to one aspect of the present invention, the distance between the position on the center side of the main body portion of the first band portion and the center of the main body portion is the distance of the main body portion of the second band portion. It is smaller than the distance between the position on the center side and the center of the main body.

The position on the center side of the main body of the first band (that is, the position where the finger is inserted into the first band) is the position on the center side of the main body of the second band (that is, the position where the finger is inserted into the second band). It was decided to position it closer to the center of the main body than the position). As a result, when the thumb is inserted into the first band portion and the middle finger or the index finger is inserted into the second band portion, the thumb is shorter than the middle finger or the index finger, so that the thumb can be easily inserted into the first band portion.

The mask set according to one aspect of the present invention includes the magnet clip described in any of the above, and a mask fixed at a predetermined fixed position by the magnet clip.

Since the mask can be fixed in a predetermined fixed position with the magnet clip, it is possible to prevent the mask from being lost as much as possible.

The method of using the magnet clip according to one aspect of the present invention is the method of using the magnet clip for fixing the object at a predetermined fixed position by using the magnet clip described in any of the above, and the object is used. After stacking on the fixed position, the object and the fixed position are sandwiched and fixed by the first magnet and the second magnet of the magnet clip.

Since the object can be fixed in a predetermined position with a magnet clip, it is possible to prevent the object from being lost as much as possible.
As the predetermined fixing position, for example, a hem portion of clothes such as a T-shirt or a polo shirt, a pocket, or the like can be mentioned.

Further, in the method of using the magnet clip according to one aspect of the present invention, the object is a mask having a filter portion that hits the user's mouth and an ear hook portion that hooks on the user's ear, and the filter portion of the mask. It is fixed with the magnet clip in a folded state with the inner side surface facing inward.

Since the mask can be fixed in a folded state with the inner surface (the surface that touches the user's mouth) of the filter portion of the mask inside, the mask can be fixed hygienically. For example, even if the user is infected with influenza, a new type of coronavirus, or the like, the risk of confining the virus inside and infecting the outside can be reduced by folding the mask inside and storing it. In addition, the removed mask can be placed on top of the invisible virus attached to the table and the user can put on the mask again to reduce the risk of being infected with the virus. In this way, it can be used not only as a risk countermeasure for infection but also as a risk countermeasure for infection.

Further, in the method of using the magnet clip according to one aspect of the present invention, the magnet clip is inserted into the opening formed by the ear hook portion of the mask, and the filter portion of the mask is used with the first magnet and the first magnet. 2 Hold it between magnets and fix it.

Since it was decided to insert the magnet clip into the opening formed by the ear hook to fix the filter portion of the mask, the mask can be fixed compactly.

An object such as a mask or handkerchief can be fixed in a predetermined fixed position with a simple operation with one hand.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of magnets 7a and 7b are attracted by the magnets 7a and 7b when the main body 3 is bent by the folded-back portion 5 and the magnets 7a and 7b are positioned so as to face each other. The polarity is defined in.

The first magnet 7a is provided at a position corresponding to the first band portion 10a. Specifically, the first magnet 7a is located on the back side of the first band portion 10a. The position of the first magnet 7a is preferably a position where the belly of the thumb touches when the user's thumb is inserted into the first band portion 10a.

The second magnet 7b is provided at a position corresponding to the second band portion 10b. Specifically, the second magnet 7b is located on the back side of the second band portion 10b. The position of the second magnet 7b is preferably a position where the pad of the middle finger or the index finger touches when the user's middle finger or the index finger is inserted into the second band portion 10b.

Next, the method of using the magnet clip 1 described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the thumb is inserted into the space formed by the first band portion 10a, and the middle finger is inserted into the space formed by the second band portion 10b. At this time, the magnet clip 1 is bent inward with the folded-back portion 5 as a boundary. In this way, the magnet clip 1 is operated with one hand by moving the thumb and the middle finger to bring the first magnet 7a and the second magnet 7b closer to each other.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the mask (object) 12 is fixed to the hem of the T-shirt (clothes) 14 using the magnet clip 1. The mask 12 includes a filter portion 12a that hits the user's mouth and an ear hook portion 12b that hooks the user's ear. The inner side surface (the surface that touches the mouth) of the filter portion 12a of the mask 12 is turned inward and folded in half, and the magnet clip 1 is inserted into the opening formed by the ear hook portion 12b. Then, after overlapping the folded filter portion 12a and the hem of the T-shirt 14, the mask 12 is fixed by sandwiching it between the first magnet 7a and the second magnet 7b of the magnet clip 1.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
A first magnet 7a and a second magnet 7b are provided at both ends of the flexible sheet-shaped main body 3. Clipping can be performed by bending the folded-back portion 5 of the center 3c in the longitudinal direction of the main body 3 inward and folding it back so that the first magnet 7a and the second magnet 7b are opposed to each other and attracted to each other.

At the position corresponding to the first magnet 7a, a first band portion 10a forming a space into which a finger can be inserted is provided with respect to the outer surface 3d of the main body portion 3, and at the position corresponding to the second magnet 7b, the position corresponds to the second magnet 7b. A second band portion 10b is provided to form a space into which a finger can be inserted with respect to the outer surface 3d of the main body portion 3. As a result, the user inserts the thumb into the first band portion 10a and inserts the middle finger or the index finger into the second band portion 10b to bring the first magnet 7a and the second magnet 7b closer to each other with one hand. Can be done. Therefore, an object such as the mask 12 can be fixed at a predetermined fixed position such as the hem of the T-shirt 14 by a simple operation with one hand.

The space formed between the first band portion 10a and the second band portion 10b and the outer surface 3d of the main body portion 3 is formed so as to become narrower in the direction from the center 3c side of the main body portion 3 toward the tip end side. ing. That is, when a finger is inserted into the space between the band portions 10a and 10b and the outer surface 3d of the main body portion 3, the space becomes larger toward the insertion side. This not only makes it easier for the finger to be inserted, but also narrows the space as the finger goes deeper, so that the finger after insertion can be reliably held.

By using the magnet clip 1 and the mask 12 in combination as a mask set, the mask 12 can be appropriately fixed at a predetermined fixed position by using the magnet clip 1. As a result, it is possible to prevent the mask 12 from being lost as much as possible.

Since the mask 12 can be fixed in a folded state with the inner surface (the surface that touches the user's mouth) of the filter portion 12a of the mask 12 inside, the mask 12 can be fixed hygienically.

Since the magnet clip 1 is inserted into the opening formed by the ear hook portion 12b of the mask 12 to fix the filter portion 12a of the mask 12, the mask 12 can be fixed compactly.

In the above-described embodiment, the band portions 10a and 10b are formed in an arch shape to form a space between the band portions 10a and 10b and the outer surface 3d of the main body portion 3 before the finger is inserted. It is not limited to. That is, it suffices that the first band portion 10a and the second band portion 10b can form a space between the first band portion 10a and the second band portion 10b with the outer surface 3d of the main body portion 3. For example, the band portions 10a and 10b are formed of rubber or the like, and before the insertion of the finger, the band portion is in contact with or slightly separated from the outer surface of the main body portion 3, and by inserting the finger, the band portion 10a, 10b may be expanded to form a space for a finger to be inserted.

In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first distance L1 between the first band portion 10a and the center 3c and the second distance L2 between the second band portion 10b and the center 3c have the same dimensions. (L1 = L2) can be transformed as follows.
For example, even if the first distance L1 between the first band portion 10a into which the thumb is inserted and the center 3c is made smaller than the second distance L2 between the second band portion 10b into which the middle finger or the index finger is inserted and the center 3c. Good (L1 <L2). As a result, when the thumb is inserted into the first band portion 10a and the middle finger or index finger is inserted into the second band portion 10b, the thumb is shorter than the middle finger or index finger, so that it is easy to insert the thumb into the first band portion 10a. can do.

Further, since the thumb is thicker than the middle finger and the index finger, the space formed by the first band portion 10 into which the thumb is inserted is larger than the space formed by the second band portion 10b into which the middle finger or the index finger is inserted. You may make it larger.

Further, the fixing position of the object such as the mask 12 fixed by the magnet clip 1 is not limited to the hem of the T-shirt, but may be a pocket or other part, and is not limited to clothes but a wall or the like. Any other fixed position may be used as long as it can be clipped.
