Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, an arbitrary direction on the horizontal plane will be referred to as the X direction, a direction perpendicular to the X direction on the horizontal plane will be referred to as the Y direction, and a direction perpendicular to the X and Y directions will be referred to as the Z direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the fastener band 2 (binding device) includes a fastener 10 that can be opened and closed, and a slider 20 that is movable along the fastener 10.

The fastener 10 is a long object extending in the X direction, and includes a first strip body 11 on which a male rail (first rail) is formed, a second strip body 12 on which a female rail (second rail) is formed. An opening stop 14 (first connection structure) where one end of the first strip body 11 and one end of the second strip body 12 are connected, and the other end of the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12 and an opening stop 15 (second connection structure) connected to the other end of the opening stop 15 (second connection structure). The male rail of the first strip body 11 and the female rail of the second strip body 12 face each other.

The slider 20 has a shape that is easy to grip with fingers, and includes a pair of side plates 21 that function as knob surfaces, and a top plate 22 that connects the pair of side plates 21.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the two side plate portions 21 are each formed in a rectangular shape with sides in the X direction and the Z direction. Grooves 21A extending in the Z direction are formed on the outer surfaces of the two side plate portions 21 so as to be lined up in the X direction. Since the collection of grooves 21A functions as a non-slip, the pair of side plate portions 21 function as knob surfaces. The top plate portion 22 is formed in a rectangular shape with sides in the X direction and the Y direction. The top plate part 22 extends from the upper end of one side plate part 21 in the Z direction to the upper end part of the other side plate part 21 in the Z direction.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the portion surrounded by the top plate part 22 and the side plate part 21 has a U-shaped cross section in the Y-Z plane, and this inner space is a fastener passageway. It becomes 25. A guide protrusion 21T is formed at the lower end of the inner surface of the side plate portion 21 in the Z direction. The guide protrusion 21T is formed on each of the pair of side plate parts 21. Therefore, the guide protrusion 21T functions as a mechanism for preventing the fastener 10 from falling off in the fastener passageway 25.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the top plate portion 22 includes a closed structure 22T and an open structure 22H. Both the closed structure 22T and the open structure 22H protrude downward in the Z direction from their inner surfaces. The closed structure 22T is formed in a plate shape with sides in the Y direction and the Z direction, and is provided on both left and right sides of the fastener passageway 25. The distance between the left and right closed structures 22T (in the Y direction) is narrower than the dimension of the fastener 10 in the Y direction. Therefore, when the fastener 10 passes between the closed structures 22T, the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12 come into close contact with each other, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 1(B), the male rail and the female rail are separated. mesh (mesh state). The open structure 22H is disposed in the fastener passage 25 and includes a sharpened portion 22HA and a wide portion 22HB. The sharpened portion 22HA is located on the side closer to the closed structure 22T, and the wide portion 22HB is located on the side farther from the closed structure 22T. Further, the width of the open structure 22H in the Y direction gradually increases from the sharpened portion 22HA toward the wide portion 22H. Therefore, when the fastener 10 moves from the closed structure 22T toward the open structure 22H, the sharpened portion 22HA is inserted between the first strip 11 and the second strip 12, and as a result, the first strip 11 and the second strip body 12 are separated. In this way, the male rail and the female rail are disengaged and enter a retracted state where they are retracted from the engaged state (FIG. 1(A)).

Next, how to use the fastener band 2 will be explained.

When the slider 20 is moved toward the opening stop 15, the fastener 10 enters a retracted state in which the male rail and the female rail are disengaged (FIG. 1(A)). In this way, the fastener 10 is in an open state. A target object is placed in a space (hereinafter referred to as object insertion area KX) surrounded by the first strip body 11, the second strip body 12, the opening stop 14, and the slider 20. Next, when the slider 20 is moved toward the opening stop 14, the fastener 10 enters an engaged state in which the male rail and the female rail are engaged (FIG. 1(B)). In this way, the fastener 10 is in a closed state. By moving the slider 20 toward the object with the object inserted into the object insertion area KX, it is possible to tie the object or bundle a plurality of objects. That is, the first strip body 11, the second strip body 12, the connecting structure 14, and the slider 20 function as a binding structure. Such a fastener 10 is less likely to sag during use.

The strength of tightening also varies depending on the content of the object. Since the tightening strength of the fastener band 2 can be adjusted depending on the position of the slider 20, it is possible to tighten the fastener band 2 to a strength that is appropriate for the object.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 1, the fastener band 2 preferably includes an engagement structure 30. It is preferable that the engagement structure 30 is formed to extend from the opening stop 14 in the X direction. It is preferable that the engagement structure 30 is formed with an insertion hole 30X into which the opening stop 15 can be inserted. Thereby, when the fastener 10 is in the engaged state (FIG. 1(B)), the opening stop 15 can be inserted into the insertion hole 30X, so the fastener band 2 becomes compact.

Although the engagement structure 30 is formed to extend in the X direction from the opening stop 14, the present invention is not limited thereto. In a fastener 10 (FIG. 5) that includes a first strip body 11, a second strip body 12, an opening stop 14, and an opening stop 15 (second connection structure), the first strip body 11 and The middle part of the second strip 12 is fixed to form a fixed part 19 (FIG. 6). The position where the fixed portion 19 is formed is preferably set between the slider 20 and the opening stop 14. The hole between the fixed portion 19 and the stop 14 may be an insertion hole 19X, and the stop 15 may be inserted into the insertion hole 19X. Further, when the first strip body 11 and the second strip body 12 are formed of synthetic resin, methods for fixing the intermediate portions include adhesion, welding, and fusion.

Furthermore, in order to make it difficult for the opening stop 15 to come out from the insertion hole 30X or the insertion hole 19X, a stop mechanism 35 may be formed that extends from the opening stop 15 in the Z direction. The illustrated retaining mechanism 35 is preferably thicker in the Z direction (width direction of the strip) (FIG. 1).

In the embodiment described above, the engagement structure 30 is provided on the fastener 10, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the engagement structure 30 may be provided on the slider 20.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the slider 20, an engagement structure may be provided on the left and right side plate portions 21. The insertion hole 21X serving as the engagement structure extends in the Z direction. Thus, when the fastener 10 is brought into the engaged state and the stopper 15 is inserted into the insertion hole 21X, the fastener band 2 becomes compact when the object TG is tied (FIG. 8).

In the above embodiment, the left and right side plate portions 21 are provided with the engagement structure, but as shown in FIGS. good. Further, as shown in the figure, the insertion hole 21X extending in the X direction may have an engagement structure. Thereby, the fastener band 2 becomes compact when the object TG is tied up.

In the embodiment described above, one end of the first strip body 11 and one end of the second strip body 12 are connected at the opening stop 14, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a male hook 11M is provided at one end of the first strip 11, and a female hook 12F is provided at one end of the second strip 12. Using both, it is possible to freely switch between a connected state in which one end of the first strip body 11 and one end of the second strip body 12 are connected, and a connected retracted state in which they are evacuated from the connected state. Good too. This makes it suitable for tying up the extra length of a long object such as a power cord in use.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, instead of the female hook 12F, an insertion hole 12X is provided at one end of the second strip 12, and instead of the male hook 11M, a protrusion 11T that can be fitted into the insertion hole 12X is provided at the first end. It may be provided at one end of the strip 11.

Note that, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a container 70 including a fastener 10 and a bag 60 having a through hole for the fastener 10 may be used.

The bag 60 is a flat bag, and has a first through-tube portion 61 provided on its opening edge into which the first strip 11 can be inserted, and a first through tube portion 61 provided on its opening edge into which the second strip 12 can be inserted. A possible second through cylinder portion 62 is provided. In the bag 60 in a flat state, it is preferable that the first through tube portion 61 and the second through tube portion 62 directly face each other. This makes it difficult for the fastener 10 to become sagging.

Note that, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the storage device 70 may be provided with an engaging structure like the fastener 10 shown in FIG. 6. Thereby, the opening stop 15 can be inserted into the insertion hole 19X, so the fastener band 2 becomes compact. Similarly, in the container 70, the fastener 10 shown in FIG. 11 may be used (FIGS. 19 to 21), or the fastener 10 shown in FIG. 13 may be used (FIGS. 22 to 23).

Note that FIGS. 24 and 25 show six side views of the fastener band 2 of FIG. 1.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
