Description

The present invention relates to a nail corrector.

Conventionally, nail correctors are sometimes used to correct deformities of nails such as ingrown toenails and ingrown toenails. As such a nail corrector, there is known one that has a fixing portion that is attached to the surface of the nail and an operating portion that is integrally formed with the fixing portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The operating portion of the nail corrector of Patent Document 1 has a shape like tweezers, and is capable of pinching the nail. The nail corrector disclosed in Patent Document 1 is operated so as to separate the nail from the skin with the operating portion when the fixing portion is attached to the nail. After the fixed portion is attached to the nail, the operating portion is removed from the fixed portion.

JP 2018-38447 A

However, the nail corrector of Patent Document 1 requires one nail corrector to be prepared for each nail, and each time the nail corrector is used, the operating portion is removed and discarded, which is wasteful. , there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high.

The present invention is made to improve such a situation.

The nail corrector of the present invention comprises a plate-like portion that is attached to the surface of the nail along the width direction of the nail, and an engaging portion that is provided at the end of the plate-like portion and fixed to the side of the nail. The nail corrector has a first corrector region having a first engaging portion provided at one end of the first plate-shaped portion and a second engaging portion provided at one end of the second plate-shaped portion. and a second corrector region, wherein the first plate-shaped portion and the other end portions of the second plate-shaped portion are formed continuously and integrally, and the first corrector region and the second correction device are formed. After attaching one of the tool areas to the nail, the other area is cut off so that it can be used as a nail corrector.

In the nail corrector of the present invention, the first corrector region and the second corrector region differ from each other in at least one of the shape and size of the plate-like portion and the shape and size of the locking portion. are

In the nail corrector of the present invention, a handle region having an upwardly protruding handle portion on the upper surface is interposed between the other end of the first plate-shaped portion and the other end of the second plate-shaped portion. I don't mind if it's like that. However, the other end of the first plate-shaped portion and the other end of the second plate-shaped portion may be adjacent to each other.

The nail corrector of the present invention can be used as a nail corrector by attaching one of the integrally formed first corrector region and the second corrector region to the nail and then cutting off the other, thereby reducing waste. It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost per part that can be used as a nail corrector.

The nail corrector 1 comprises a first corrector area 10 , a second corrector area 20 and a handle area 30 . The first corrector region 10 and the second corrector region 20 are composed of plate-like portions 11 and 21 that are attached to the nail surface 101 of the nail 100 along the nail width direction, and one end portion 11a and one end portion 11a of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 . 21 a and locking portions 13 and 23 fixed to the claw side portion 102 of the claw 100 . The handle area 30 has an upward convex handle 31 on its upper surface.

A first engaging portion 13 is provided at one end portion 11 a of the first plate-like portion 11 of the first corrector region 10 . A second locking portion 23 is provided at one end portion 21a of the second plate-like portion 21 of the second corrector region 20 . The other end portion 11b of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the other end portion 21b of the second plate-shaped portion 21 are formed continuously and integrally. In the present embodiment, a handle region 30 is interposed between the other end portion 11b of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the other end portion 21b of the second plate-shaped portion 21 . The first corrector region 10, the second corrector region 20, and the handle region 30 are integrally formed.

The first corrector area 10 and the second corrector area 20 can each be used as a nail corrector. The nail corrector 1 allows one of the corrector regions 10, 20, 10 or 20, to be attached to the nail 100, and then the other region 20 or 10 to be cut off. Then, the cut off corrector region 10 or 20 can be used as a nail corrector.

The nail corrector 1 can be used as a nail corrector by separating the integrally formed first corrector region 10 and second corrector region 20 from each other. Therefore, the nail corrector 1 can reduce unnecessary parts and reduce the manufacturing cost per part that can be used as a nail corrector.

The nail corrector 1 is made of, for example, an elastic material. Examples of such materials include ABS resin (acrylonitrile, butadiene, styrene copolymer), polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, fluorocarbon resin, polyamide resin, acrylic resin, urethane resin, and the like. Synthetic resins may be mentioned. When the material of the nail corrector 1 is a synthetic resin, it is preferably colorless and transparent. As a result, the appearance after the nail corrector 1 is attached to the nail 100 is improved, and the situation during the attachment work can be easily grasped. The material of the nail corrector 1 is not limited to synthetic resin, and may be metal, for example. In this embodiment, the nail corrector 1 is made of colorless and transparent ABS resin. The synthetic resin nail corrector 1 can be integrally formed, for example, by an injection molding technique.

In this embodiment, the first corrector region 10 and the second corrector region 20 are arranged with the handle region 30 interposed therebetween. That is, the corrector regions 10 and 20 are arranged on the same straight line passing through the handle region 30 in plan view.

The corrector regions 10 and 20 differ from each other in the shape of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 . Each of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The length L1 of the first plate-shaped portion 11 along the longitudinal direction of the claw 100 is longer than the length L2 of the second plate-shaped portion 21 . Also, for example, the length L1 is about 20 mm (millimeters) and the length L2 is about 5 mm. The width W1 of the first plate-shaped portion 11 is approximately 13 mm, and the width W2 of the second plate-shaped portion 21 is approximately 11 mm. Moreover, the plate-like portions 11 and 21 have substantially the same thickness, which is about 0.4 mm. Note that each dimension of the nail corrector 1 is an example, and is not limited to the dimensions of the present embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.

Further, the corrector regions 10 and 20 are different from each other in the shape of the first locking portion 13 and the second locking portion 23 . As shown in FIG. 8, the locking portions 13 and 23 have a substantially C-shaped configuration that opens toward the handle portion region 30 side. The locking portions 13 and 23 are composed of folded portions 13a and 23a extending downward from the one ends 11a and 21a of the plate-like portions 11 and 21, and from the tips of the folded portions 13a and 23a toward the handle region 30 side. and claw clamping portions 13b, 23b extending inward. In this embodiment, the claw clamping portion 13b extends longer than the claw clamping portion 23b.

In this embodiment, the locking portions 13 and 23 are provided on the back surfaces 11d and 21d of the plate-like portions 11 and 21, respectively. However, one or both of the locking portions 13 and 23 may be provided on the top surfaces 11c and 21c of the plate-like portions 11 and 21, respectively.

The folded portions 13a and 23a have a shape curved inward (toward the handle region 30 side). Moreover, the claw holding portions 13b and 23b have an upwardly curved shape. Thus, the outer peripheral surfaces of the locking portions 13 and 23 are rounded. This prevents the locking portions 13 and 23 from damaging the skin of the finger 110 when attached to the nail side portion 102 . In the present embodiment, the outer peripheral surfaces of the folded portions 13a and 23a are partially linear when viewed from the front, but may be entirely curved.

In addition, the claw clamping portions 13b and 23b are configured so that the openings 13d and 23d of the locking portions 13 and 23 (the gaps between the claw clamping tip portions 13c and 23c and the back surfaces 11d and 21d of the plate-like portions 11 and 21) are the claws. It is arranged so as to be narrower than the gap on the sandwiching portions 13b, 23b side. A gap between the openings 13d and 23d is, for example, about 0.9 mm.

When the engaging portions 13 and 23 are attached to the claw side portion 102 having a thickness larger than the gap between the openings 13d and 23d, the engaging portions 13 and 23 are elastically deformed to widen the openings 13d and 23d. Then, the claw side portion 102 is pinched between the claw pinching tip portions 13c, 23c and the rear surfaces 11d, 21d of the plate-like portions 11, 21. As shown in FIG. As a result, the engaging portions 13 and 23 are easily held by the pawl 100, improving workability.

As can be seen from FIG. 3 and the like, the first locking portion 13 is formed shorter than the length L1 of the first plate-like portion 11 (see FIG. 1). The folded portion 13a of the first engaging portion 13 is connected to the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the one end portion 11a of the first plate-like portion 11 . The folded portion 13a is formed with notch portions 13e at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and is shorter than the claw holding portion 13b.

When attaching the first corrector region 10 of the nail corrector 1 to the nail 100, first, the nail clamping portion 13b of the first engaging portion 13 coated with adhesive is aligned with the tip 104 (also called free edge) of the nail side portion 102. ), and the first engaging portion 13 is adhered to the claw side portion 102 . At the same time, the portion of the first plate-shaped portion 11 near the one end portion 11a is adhered to the nail surface 101 . Since the length L1 of the first plate-shaped portion 11 is longer than the length of the first locking portion 13, the first plate-shaped portion 11 is inserted into the nail clamping portion 13b while the nail clamping portion 13b is inserted all the way into the nail clamping portion 13b. It can be adhered to the nail surface 101 on the nail root side.

Further, when it is desired to dispose the first plate-shaped portion 11 closer to the nail base side, it is possible to deal with this by cutting off a portion of the first engaging portion 13 . Since a notch portion 13e is formed in the folded portion 13a of the first locking portion 13, the first locking portion 13 can be removed by cutting off the portion of the claw clamping portion 13b facing the notch portion 13e with a nipper or the like. can be shortened. By providing the notch portion 13e in the first locking portion 13 in this way, workability when shortening the length of the first locking portion 13 is improved.

Further, by making the length of the folded portion 13a shorter than that of the claw clamping portion 13b, the folded portion 13a can be elastically deformed while securing the length of the region where the first plate-like portion 11 and the claw clamping portion 13b face each other. It can be done easily. As a result, when the first locking portion 13 is adhered to the claw side portion 102 of the claw 100, a bonding area between the claw back surface 103 and the claw clamping portion 13b can be secured, and the first locking portion 13 (folded portion 13a) can be secured. damage can be prevented.

The length of the folded portion 13a may be the same as the length of the claw holding portion 13b. Moreover, the lengths of the folded portion 13a and the claw holding portion 13b may be the same as the length L1 of the first plate-shaped portion 11 . Further, the length of the claw holding portion 13b may be shorter than that of the folded portion 13a.

As can be seen from FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the folded portion 13a of the first locking portion 13 is formed thinner than the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the claw holding portion 13b. As a result, when the first engaging portion 13 is attached to the nail side portion 102, the force with which the folded portion 13a attached to the side end surface of the nail side portion 102 presses the skin of the finger can be reduced. Therefore, discomfort and pain after attaching the first corrector region 10 to the nail 100 can be suppressed. In addition, since it becomes easier to elastically deform by making the folded portion 13a thinner, the workability when elastically deforming the first locking portion 13 and attaching it to the claw side portion 102 is improved.

The thickness of the folded portion 13a may be the same as that of the nail holding portion 13b, or may be thicker than that of the nail holding portion 13b. Moreover, the thickness of the folded portion 13a and the claw holding portion 13b may be the same as that of the first plate-shaped portion 11, or may be thinner or thicker than that of the first plate-shaped portion 11.

As can be seen from FIG. 4 and the like, the second locking portion 23 is formed to have the same length as the length L2 of the second plate-shaped portion 21 (see FIG. 1). The length of the second plate-shaped portion 21 and the second locking portion 23 of the second corrector region 20 are shorter than those of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the first locking portion 13 of the first corrector region 10 . Therefore, it can be used, for example, when it is desired to locally eliminate the curly nail state of the toe 104 .

As described above, the nail corrector 1 of the present embodiment has high versatility because the first corrector region 10 and the second corrector region 20 can be selectively used depending on the purpose. Note that the first locking portion 13 and the second locking portion 23 may have the same shape and size. Also, the first plate-like portion 11 and the second plate-like portion 21 may have the same shape and size.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the handle area 30 has an upward convex handle 31 on its upper surface. As a result, when a person (hereinafter referred to as a user) who wears the nail corrector 1 attaches the corrector region 10 or 20 to the nail 100, the person holding the handle region 30 between the fingers can hold the nail corrector. 1 can be easily held, and force can be easily transmitted to the correction tool regions 10 and 20, thereby improving workability. It is also possible to use part of the handle area 30 as part of the first corrector area 10 and the second corrector area 20 .

In the present embodiment, the upper surface of the handle region 30 is curved so as to project upward from the other ends 11b and 21b of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 toward the center portion 31a of the handle 31. . The dimension of the thickest portion of the handle region 30 is, for example, about 0.9 mm. The planar shape of the handle region 30 has a funnel shape that narrows while curving from the end that is continuous with the first plate-shaped portion 11 to the end that is continuous with the second plate-shaped portion 21 .

The portion of the handle portion 31 on the side of the first plate-like portion 11 is formed to be thick with a center portion 31a in the length direction (direction along the lengths L1 and L2) rising upward. The side portion 31b is formed thinner than the central portion 31a. The end portion 31b has a substantially triangular shape in plan view. A portion 31c near the second corrector of the handle portion 31 gently rises toward the central portion 31a.

When holding the nail corrector 1, for example, the pad of the thumb can be applied to the upper surface of the handle part 31, and the pad of the index finger or the middle knuckle part can be applied to the back surface of the handle area 30 to hold the handle area 30. . The handle portion 31 can improve operability in the work of adhering the nail corrector 1 to the nail 100, the work of applying a correction force to the nail 100, and the like.

Note that the shape and dimensions of the handle region 30 and the handle 31 are not particularly limited as long as the handle 31 has an upward convex shape on the upper surface. Moreover, the handle portion region 30 is not limited to a configuration in which it is formed thicker than the plate-like portions 11 and 21 . For example, the handle portion region 30 may have a handle portion 31 that has a thickness equal to or thinner than that of the plate-like portions 11 and 21, and that is bent or bulges upward in a convex shape. I do not care.

In addition, before the first corrector region 10 of the nail corrector 1 is attached to the nail 100, the surplus portion can be cut and removed with a cutting tool such as a nipper or a cutter. When cutting a portion of the first corrector region 10, a portion of the handle region 30 may be removed. In this case, the cutting work can be facilitated by cutting the end portion 31b which is thinner than the central portion 31a.

As can be seen from FIG. 2 and the like, the nail corrector 1 is curved in an upward convex shape when viewed from the front. In the present embodiment, the plate-like portions 11 and 21 gently curve downward to such an extent that the one ends 11a and 21a of the plate-like portions 11 and 21 are positioned below the back surface of the handle region 30 when viewed from the front. are doing. As a result, when lifting the nail side portion 102 to which the engaging portion 13 or 23 is fixed, the nail corrector 1 can be easily rolled into the nail surface 101 side, improving workability. The lower surface of the nail corrector 1 may be straight when viewed from the front, or may be curved in a downward convex shape.

Next, an example of the process of correcting the nail 100 of the wearer using the nail corrector 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 as well. Here, an example in which the first corrector region 10 is attached to the wearer's toenail 100 (for example, the thumb) will be described.

First, the user applies the nail corrector 1 to the nail surface 101 to confirm the attachment position, and determines the range to cut and remove the nail clamping portion 13b of the first corrector region 10 . For example, when attaching the first engaging portion 13 to the nail side portion 102 on the left side as seen from the user (right side as seen from the wearer), the nail clamping portion 13b positioned on the nail root side of the nail 100 may be attached as necessary. It is cut and removed (see the cut position in the rear view of FIG. 10(1)). By removing the nail clamping portion 13b on the nail root side of the nail 100, the first engaging portion 13 can be inserted deep into the nail tip 104, and the overlapping area between the first plate-like portion 11 and the nail 100 can be increased. .

In the first engaging portion 13, the notch portion 13e is formed at the end of the folded portion 13a, so that the claw holding portion 13b can be cut with a nipper or the like without cutting the folded portion 13a, thereby improving cutting workability. The cutting work time can be shortened as much as possible. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the nail corrector 1 has notches 13e at both front and rear ends of the folded portion 13a. Then, when attaching the first engaging portion 13 to the claw side portion 102 on the right side as viewed from the user, the user cuts the end portion of the claw clamping portion 13b opposite to the cutting position in FIG. 10(1). Easy and fast. In this manner, the first corrector region 10 can be used regardless of whether it is on the left or right, and is highly versatile.

In cutting the claw clamping portion 13b, the entire portion of the claw clamping portion 13b that overlaps the notch portion 13e in the width direction may be cut off, or the portion that overlaps the notch portion 13e in the width direction may be removed. It is also possible to cut and remove the ends in the length direction so as to leave them. In addition, of the portion of the folded portion 13a, the portion near the end portion located on the nail root side of the claw 100 is cut off from the first plate-shaped portion 11 to increase the overlapping area of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the claw 100. It doesn't matter if you do.

Next, the adhesive 121 is applied to the inside of the first engaging portion 13 and the portion of the rear surface 11d of the first plate-shaped portion 11 near the one end portion 11a. Then, the first locking portion 13 is fitted into the claw side portion 102 and fixed by adhesion, and the portion near the one end portion 11a of the first plate-like portion 11 is adhered and fixed to the claw surface 101 (see FIG. 10(2)). . As the adhesive 121, various adhesives such as a one-liquid type, a two-liquid type, and an ultraviolet curing type can be used. For example, an adhesive for artificial nails can be used.

Next, the user grips the handle portion 31 and pulls up the nail corrector 1 to separate the nail side portion 102 from the finger 110 to correct the nail 100 (see FIG. 10(3)). At this time, not only the first locking portion 13 is fixed to the claw side portion 102, but also the first plate-like portion 11 near one end 11a is fixed to the claw surface 101. Since the portion closer to the one end 11a than the portion 13 is fixed to the nail surface 101, the stress applied to the nail side portion 102 can be dispersed. As a result, pain in the finger 110 and damage to the nail 100 can be suppressed.

After adjusting the shape of the nail 100 to some extent, the user applies the adhesive 122 to at least one of the back surface 11 d of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the nail front surface 101 . As the adhesive 122, for example, the same adhesive as the adhesive 121 can be used. Then, while adjusting the shape of the nail 100 by operating the nail corrector 1 in a bending direction, the first plate-like portion 11 is adhered to the nail surface 101 (see FIG. 2(d)). At this time, the back surface of the handle region 30 may be adhered to the nail surface 101 and the handle region 30 may be used as part of the corrector region.

After that, the nail corrector 1 is cut so as to arrange the shape of the first corrector region 10 attached to the nail 100 (see FIG. 9). The second corrector region 20, separated from the first corrector region 10, can be used as a nail corrector. At this time, it is preferable to cut the nail corrector 1 so that the handle portion 31 (at least the portion 31c close to the second corrector) is continuous with the second corrector region 20 . Note that the cutting position (cutting position) shown in FIG. 9 is an example, and can be changed as appropriate according to the position and inclination of the first corrector region 10 attached to the nail 100 .

Then, the edge of the first corrector region 10 (and the handle region 30) attached to the nail 100 is shaved or the thickness thereof is adjusted so as to adjust the shape along the nail 100, and to prevent catching and discomfort. Arrange so that there are none. If necessary, the nail surface 101 is finished by applying gel or the like. This completes the mounting work.

As in the example of the attachment process, the nail corrector 1 is attached to the nail 100 after the first corrector region 10 of the integrally formed first corrector region 10 and the second corrector region 20 is attached to the nail 100, and then the second corrector region 10 is attached to the nail 100. By cutting off the corrector region 20, each of the corrector regions 10 and 20 can be used as a nail corrector. Therefore, the nail corrector 1 can reduce waste and reduce the manufacturing cost per part that can be used as a nail corrector.

The process of attaching the second corrector region 20 to the nail 100 can be performed in the same manner as the example of the process of attaching the first corrector region 10 described above. Alternatively, the first corrector region 10 may be separated from the nail corrector 1 after the second corrector region 20 of the nail corrector 1 is attached to the nail 100 .

In the nail corrector 1, the outer peripheral surfaces of the locking portions 13 and 23 are rounded, so that the locking portions 13 and 23 may be placed on the finger 110 during and after the corrector regions 10 and 20 are attached to the nail 100. It doesn't hurt to come in contact with Further, claw clamping tip portions 13c, 23c of the locking portions 13, 23 extend toward the rear surfaces 11d, 21d of the plate-like portions 11, 21, respectively. As a result, when the engaging portions 13 and 23 are attached to the nail back surface 103, the nail clamping tip portions 13c and 23c contact the nail back surface 103 or at least face the nail back surface 103 side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the claw clamping tips 13c and 23c from sticking into the finger 110, thereby improving the safety.

Note that the shape and size of the locking portions 13 and 23 can be changed as appropriate. For example, the locking portions 13 and 23 may have a configuration in which the outer peripheral surfaces have corners. Moreover, the locking portions 13 and 23 may have any shape as long as they can be fixed to the claw side portion 102 .

For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the engaging portions 13A and 23A of the nail corrector 1A extend downward (or upward) from one ends 11a and 21a of the plate-like portions 11 and 21. It doesn't matter if there is. The configuration of each portion of the nail corrector 1A of this embodiment other than the engagement portions 13A and 23A is the same as that of the nail corrector 1 of the above embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. FIG.

The engaging portions 13A and 23A have a shape curved concavely toward the central portion (handle portion region 30 side) of the nail corrector 1 in a front view, and the nail side portions 102 are located inside the curved shape. It has a shape that makes it easy to align the ends. Note that the locking portions 13A and 23A may be straight when viewed from the front.

Further, in the nail corrector 1 of the above embodiment, the first corrector region 10, the handle region 30 and the second corrector region 20 are linearly arranged in plan view. They may be arranged in a letter shape, a doglegged shape, or a V shape. Further, in the nail corrector 1, the handle portion region 30 is interposed between the first corrector region 10 and the second corrector region 20, but the other end portion 11b of the first plate-shaped portion 11 and the second corrector region 11 are interposed. The other end portion 21b of the two plate-like portions 21 may be adjacent to each other. Further, the nail corrector 1 may be provided with three or more corrector regions.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the nail corrector 1B may be provided with two second corrector areas 20 on the side opposite to the first corrector area 10 with respect to the handle area 30 . In the present embodiment, the portion 31c near the second corrector of the handle portion 31 is divided into two at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the nail corrector 1B (vertical direction of the drawing). A second corrector region 20 extending in the width direction of the nail corrector 1B (horizontal direction on the paper surface) is connected to each of the second corrector-side portions 31c.

The configuration of each portion of the corrector regions 10 and 20 and the handle region 30 in the nail corrector 1B is the same as that of the nail corrector 1 of the above embodiment. By providing three or more corrector regions 10 and 20 in one nail corrector 1B integrally formed in this manner, waste can be further reduced, and each portion that can be used as a nail corrector can be used. can reduce the manufacturing cost of

Before the corrector regions 10 and 20 are attached to the nail 100, the nail corrector 1B is divided into two second corrector regions 20 by separating the handle region 30 (central region 31a of the handle portion 31). And the first corrector region 10 may be cut along the width direction. Thus, two nail correctors can be formed having the front-to-rear halves of the first corrector region 10 and the second corrector region 20 . That is, four corrector regions can be formed from one nail corrector 1B, and the manufacturing cost per portion that can be used as a nail corrector can be further reduced.

The arrangement of the three corrector regions 10 and 20 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 13, and may be T-shaped or Y-shaped in plan view, for example. Also, the two second corrector regions 20 may differ from each other in at least one of the shape and size of the plate-like portion 21 and the shape and size of the second locking portion 23 . That is, three or more corrector regions may differ in shape and size from each other. As a result, it is possible to selectively use the correction tool area according to the purpose, and the versatility is further improved.

Next, a nail corrector 200 of a reference example will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16. FIG. The nail corrector 200 has a configuration in which the second corrector region 31c of the handle region 30 and the second corrector region 20 are removed from the nail corrector 1 described with reference to FIGS. . That is, the nail corrector 200 has a first corrector region 10 and a handle region 30 . The handle region 30 has a central portion 31a and a pair of end portions 31b. The first corrector region 10 includes a first plate-shaped portion 11 and a first locking portion 13 .

The nail corrector 200 of this reference example has the same functions and actions as the first corrector region 10 of the nail corrector 1 of the above embodiment. Therefore, the nail corrector 200 can exhibit the same functions and effects as the first corrector region 10 of the nail corrector 1 . For example, since the notch portions 13e are formed at both ends of the folded portion 13a of the first engaging portion 13 in the front-rear direction, the easiness of cutting and removing the end portion of the claw holding portion 13b is improved.

Although the embodiments and reference examples have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be embodied in various aspects. The configuration of each part is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, each configuration described in the above-described embodiment and modifications (notes, etc.) may be combined, and addition, omission, replacement, and other changes of configuration are possible.
