本発明の実施の形態に係る保持具を示す斜視図である。1 is a perspective view showing a holder according to an embodiment of the present invention; 本発明の実施の形態に係る保持具が備えられたシャツを示す図である。1 is a diagram showing a shirt provided with a retainer according to an embodiment of the present invention. 本発明の実施の形態に係る保持具を示す図であり、（Ａ）は保持具の保持状態を示す斜視図であり、（Ｂ）は保持具の保持状態を別の視座で示す斜視図である。1A and 1B are diagrams showing a holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing the holding state of the holder, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view showing the holding state of the holder from a different viewpoint. 本発明の他の形態に係る保持具を示す斜視図である。FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a holder according to another embodiment of the present invention. 本発明の更なる他の形態に係る保持具を示す斜視図である。FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a holder according to still another embodiment of the present invention.

以下、本発明の一実施形態に係る保持具１０を図面に基づき詳細に説明する。尚、以下の説明では、同一の部材には原則として同一の符番を用い、繰り返しの説明は省略する。また、以下の説明では、上下前後左右の各方向を用いるが、これらの各方向は説明の便宜のために用いるものであり、技術的範囲には関係しない。 The holder 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components will generally be designated by the same reference numerals, and repeated description will be omitted. In the following description, the directions of up, down, front, back, left and right will be used, but these directions are used for convenience of explanation and are not related to the technical scope.

図１は、保持具１０を示す斜視図である。 Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the retainer 10.

保持具１０は、後述するイヤホン１６等の小型機器を保持するものであり、保持具支持部１１と、イヤホン挿入部１２と、連結部１３と、を具備する。また、保持具１０は、イヤホン１６を保持する保持状態と、イヤホン１６を保持しない非保持状態と、をとることができる。図１には、非保持状態である保持具１０を示している。 The holder 10 holds small devices such as earphones 16, which will be described later, and includes a holder support section 11, an earphone insertion section 12, and a connecting section 13. The holder 10 can be in a holding state in which it holds the earphones 16, and in a non-holding state in which it does not hold the earphones 16. Figure 1 shows the holder 10 in a non-holding state.

保持具支持部１１は、イヤホン挿入部１２を支持できるように構成されている。保持具１０を前方から見た場合、保持具支持部１１の外周は略円形状を呈している。このようにすることで、保持具１０が後述するシャツ１５に備えられた場合、保持具１０の外周部がユーザの手や足等に引っかかってしまうことを抑止できる。 The holder support portion 11 is configured to support the earphone insertion portion 12. When the holder 10 is viewed from the front, the outer periphery of the holder support portion 11 has a substantially circular shape. This prevents the outer periphery of the holder 10 from getting caught on the user's hand, foot, etc. when the holder 10 is attached to a shirt 15 (described below).

イヤホン挿入部１２は、小型機器挿入部であり、保持状態に於いて、イヤホン１６の一部が挿入される部位である。ここでは、イヤホン挿入部１２は保持具支持部１１の内部に配設され、略円環形状を呈している。更にここでは、２つのイヤホン挿入部１２が存在する。このようにすることで、ユーザは、後述する２つのイヤホン１６を使用する際、両方のイヤホン１６を１つの保持具１０に保持させることができる。 The earphone insertion section 12 is a small device insertion section, and is the portion into which a portion of the earphone 16 is inserted in the held state. Here, the earphone insertion section 12 is disposed inside the holder support section 11, and has a generally circular ring shape. Furthermore, here, there are two earphone insertion sections 12. In this way, when using two earphones 16 (described below), the user can have both earphones 16 held in one holder 10.

連結部１３は、保持具支持部１１とイヤホン挿入部１２とを接続し、且つ、保持状態と非保持状態との間で変形可能な材料から成る。連結部１３の下端は保持具支持部１１の内周部下端に接続している。連結部１３の上端は左右外側に枝分かれし、夫々がイヤホン挿入部１２に連続している。連結部１３は前後方向に蛇行形成されており、このようにするとで、上下方向において連結部１３の長さを確保し、後述する保持状態において、連結部１３を大きく変形させることができる。 The connecting portion 13 connects the holder support portion 11 and the earphone insertion portion 12, and is made of a material that can deform between a held state and an unheld state. The lower end of the connecting portion 13 is connected to the lower end of the inner circumference of the holder support portion 11. The upper end of the connecting portion 13 branches outward to the left and right, each of which is connected to the earphone insertion portion 12. The connecting portion 13 is formed in a serpentine shape in the front-to-back direction, which ensures the length of the connecting portion 13 in the up-down direction and allows the connecting portion 13 to deform significantly in the held state described below.

スリット１４は、保持具支持部１１の上端部分を、左右方向に沿って細長く開口することで形成されている。スリット１４は、後述するシャツ１５に保持具１０を固定する際に、布材等の連結用部材が挿通される部位である。 The slit 14 is formed by opening the upper end of the holder support part 11 in a long and narrow shape along the left-right direction. The slit 14 is a portion through which a connecting member such as a fabric material is inserted when fixing the holder 10 to the shirt 15 described below.

保持具１０を構成する各部位、即ち、保持具支持部１１、イヤホン挿入部１２および連結部１３は、一体に射出成形された樹脂材料から成る。この樹脂材料としては、例えば、シリコン樹脂を採用することができる。このようにするとで、後述する保持状態に於いて、保持具１０にイヤホン１６を保持させた際に、保持具１０の表面を構成するシリコン樹脂とイヤホン１６とが滑らず、イヤホン１６の意図しない離脱を抑止できる。 The components of the holder 10, namely the holder support section 11, the earphone insertion section 12, and the connecting section 13, are made of a resin material that is injection molded as a single unit. For example, a silicone resin can be used as this resin material. In this way, when the holder 10 holds the earphones 16 in the holding state described below, the silicone resin that makes up the surface of the holder 10 does not slip between the earphones 16, preventing unintentional removal of the earphones 16.

図１に示す非保持状態では、保持具支持部１１、イヤホン挿入部１２および連結部１３は、略板形状を呈する。このようにするとで、後述するシャツ１５に保持具１０を装着した際に、シャツ１５からの保持具１０の突出量を小さくでき、ユーザの指等に保持具１０が不用意に引っかかってしまうことを抑止できる。 In the non-holding state shown in FIG. 1, the holder support portion 11, the earphone insertion portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are generally plate-shaped. In this way, when the holder 10 is attached to a shirt 15 (described later), the amount of projection of the holder 10 from the shirt 15 can be reduced, and the holder 10 can be prevented from being inadvertently caught on the user's fingers, etc.

図２は、保持具１０の適用の一例として、保持具１０が備えられたシャツ１５を示す図である。ここでは、シャツ１５の胴体部分の左側下端近傍に、保持具１０が備えられている。シャツ１５を着用するユーザがエクササイズする場合において、後述するイヤホン１６を使用する際にはイヤホン１６を耳に装着し、保持具１０にはイヤホン１６を保持させない非保持状態とする。一方、ユーザがイヤホン１６を耳から外す際には、イヤホン１６を保持具１０に保持させる保持状態とする。このようにすることで、イヤホン１６を保持具１０で保持できることから、エクササイズをするユーザは、使用状態にないイヤホン１６を、手に持ったり、地面や台に載置する必要が無く、イヤホン１６の紛失や破損を抑止できる。 Figure 2 is a diagram showing a shirt 15 equipped with the retainer 10 as an example of an application of the retainer 10. Here, the retainer 10 is provided near the lower left end of the torso part of the shirt 15. When a user wearing the shirt 15 exercises, when using earphones 16 (described later), the earphones 16 are placed in the ears, and the retainer 10 is in an unheld state where the earphones 16 are not held. On the other hand, when the user removes the earphones 16 from their ears, the retainer 10 holds the earphones 16. In this way, since the earphones 16 can be held by the retainer 10, the user exercising does not need to hold the earphones 16 in their hands or place them on the ground or a stand when not in use, and loss or damage of the earphones 16 can be prevented.

図３は、保持具１０を示す図であり、図３（Ａ）は保持具１０の保持状態を示す斜視図であり、図３（Ｂ）は保持具１０の保持状態を別の視座で示す斜視図である。 Figure 3 shows the retainer 10, where Figure 3(A) is a perspective view showing the retainer 10 in a holding state, and Figure 3(B) is a perspective view showing the retainer 10 in a holding state from a different perspective.

図３（Ａ）および図３（Ｂ）を参照して、保持状態に於いては、二つのイヤホン１６が保持具１０により保持されている。 Referring to Figures 3(A) and 3(B), in the holding state, two earphones 16 are held by the holder 10.

イヤホン１６は、例えば、Ｂｌｕｅｔｏｏｔｈ（登録商標）などの近距離無線通信規格に準じて、スマートフォン等の音楽再生機器と接続された無線型のものである。また、イヤホン１６は、スピーカ等が収納されてユーザの耳に装着されるイヤホン本体部１７と、イヤホン本体部１７と一体的に連続して下方に伸びる略円柱状の柱状部１８と、を有する。 The earphones 16 are wireless and connected to a music playback device such as a smartphone in accordance with a short-range wireless communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The earphones 16 also have an earphone main body 17 that houses a speaker and is worn on the user's ear, and a roughly cylindrical columnar part 18 that is integral with and continues downward from the earphone main body 17.

保持状態では、柱状部１８が保持具１０のイヤホン挿入部１２に挿入される。イヤホン挿入部１２の内径は柱状部１８の外径よりも大きいので、イヤホン１６の柱状部１８がイヤホン挿入部１２に挿入される。また、イヤホン挿入部１２の内径は、イヤホン本体部１７の幅よりも短いので、イヤホン本体部１７はイヤホン挿入部１２の上部に係合する。 In the held state, the columnar portion 18 is inserted into the earphone insertion portion 12 of the holder 10. Because the inner diameter of the earphone insertion portion 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the columnar portion 18, the columnar portion 18 of the earphone 16 is inserted into the earphone insertion portion 12. In addition, because the inner diameter of the earphone insertion portion 12 is smaller than the width of the earphone main body portion 17, the earphone main body portion 17 engages with the upper portion of the earphone insertion portion 12.

また、保持状態では、連結部１３は前方に向かって湾曲された状態と成り、イヤホン１６を保持具支持部１１の側に押しつける付勢力を発生させている。このようにすることで、例えばシリコン樹脂からなる保持具支持部１１の前方側主面に、イヤホン１６が押しつけられ、両者の間に発生する大きな摩擦力より、イヤホン１６が保持具１０から離脱することが抑止される。よって、保持状態に於いて、保持具１０が装着されたシャツ１５を着衣するユーザが激しく運動したとしても、保持具１０からイヤホン１６が離脱することを抑止できる。 In addition, in the held state, the connecting portion 13 is curved forward, generating a biasing force that presses the earphones 16 against the holder support portion 11. In this way, the earphones 16 are pressed against the front main surface of the holder support portion 11, which is made of, for example, silicone resin, and the large frictional force generated between the two prevents the earphones 16 from coming off the holder 10. Therefore, in the held state, even if a user wearing the shirt 15 to which the holder 10 is attached exercises vigorously, the earphones 16 can be prevented from coming off the holder 10.

図４に示す保持具１０の構成は、図１に示したものと基本的には同様であり、保持具支持部１１とイヤホン挿入部１２との接続構成等が異なる。ここでは、保持具支持部１１は、前方から見て、左右方向に沿って細長い略矩形枠形状を呈している。 The configuration of the holder 10 shown in FIG. 4 is basically the same as that shown in FIG. 1, but differs in the connection configuration between the holder support part 11 and the earphone insertion part 12. Here, the holder support part 11 has a generally rectangular frame shape that is elongated in the left-right direction when viewed from the front.

イヤホン挿入部１２は、左右方向に於いて、保持具支持部１１の両端近傍に配置されている。また、夫々のイヤホン挿入部１２において、イヤホン挿入部１２の下端部分と、保持具支持部１１の下方部分とは、連結部１３を介して連結されている。 The earphone insertion sections 12 are disposed near both ends of the holder support section 11 in the left-right direction. In addition, in each earphone insertion section 12, the lower end portion of the earphone insertion section 12 and the lower portion of the holder support section 11 are connected via a connecting section 13.

また、保持具支持部１１の左右方向中央部付近において、保持具支持部１１の上方部分と、保持具支持部１１の下方部分との間に、連続部１９が２つ架設されている。 In addition, two continuous sections 19 are installed between the upper part of the holder support section 11 and the lower part of the holder support section 11 near the center of the holder support section 11 in the left-right direction.

図５は、更なる他の形態に係る保持具１０を示す斜視図である。図５に示す保持具１０の構成は、図１に示したものと基本的には同様であり、保持具支持部１１とイヤホン挿入部１２との接続構成等が異なる。 Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a retainer 10 according to yet another embodiment. The configuration of the retainer 10 shown in Figure 5 is basically the same as that shown in Figure 1, but differs in the connection configuration between the retainer support part 11 and the earphone insertion part 12, etc.

具体的には、保持具支持部１１は、左右方向に沿って細長く形成された略楕円形状を呈している。また、保持具支持部１１の内部に、２つのイヤホン挿入部１２が配置されている。左方側のイヤホン挿入部１２の下端部は、連結部１３を介して、保持具支持部１１の下方部分と連結されている。右方側のイヤホン挿入部１２は、連結部１３を介して、保持具支持部１１の上方部分と連結されている。 Specifically, the holder support part 11 has a generally elliptical shape that is elongated in the left-right direction. Two earphone insertion parts 12 are disposed inside the holder support part 11. The lower end of the left earphone insertion part 12 is connected to the lower part of the holder support part 11 via a connecting part 13. The right earphone insertion part 12 is connected to the upper part of the holder support part 11 via a connecting part 13.

前述した本実施形態により、以下のような主要な効果を奏することができる。 The above-described embodiment provides the following major advantages:

本発明の保持具１０によれば、イヤホン挿入部１２にイヤホン１６を挿入することで、イヤホン１６を保持することができ、更に、イヤホン挿入部１２と保持具支持部１１とが、変形可能な連結部１３で連結されている。よって、非保持状態ではイヤホン挿入部１２が厚み方向外側に突出することが無く、保持具１０の全体を薄型に保持することができる。また、保持状態では、連結部１３が変形することで、保持具支持部１１の厚み方向外側で、イヤホン挿入部１２によりイヤホン１６を保持することができる。 According to the retainer 10 of the present invention, the earphone 16 can be held by inserting it into the earphone insertion portion 12, and further, the earphone insertion portion 12 and the retainer support portion 11 are connected by a deformable connecting portion 13. Therefore, in the non-retained state, the earphone insertion portion 12 does not protrude outward in the thickness direction, and the entire retainer 10 can be held thin. Furthermore, in the retained state, the connecting portion 13 deforms, so that the earphone 16 can be held by the earphone insertion portion 12 on the outer side in the thickness direction of the retainer support portion 11.

更に、非保持状態では、保持具支持部１１、イヤホン挿入部１２および連結部１３が略板形状を呈することで、保持具１０をコンパクトな状態にすることができ、保持具１０の意図しない接触を抑止できる。 Furthermore, when not in a holding state, the holder support portion 11, earphone insertion portion 12, and connecting portion 13 have a generally plate-like shape, allowing the holder 10 to be in a compact state and preventing unintended contact with the holder 10.

更に、スリット１４を有することで、スリット１４を挿通する布材等を用いて、保持具１０を洋服に配設することができる。 Furthermore, by having the slit 14, the retainer 10 can be attached to clothing using a fabric material that passes through the slit 14.

更に、１つの連結部１３で複数のイヤホン挿入部１２を保持することで、保持具１０の構成を簡略化できる。 Furthermore, by holding multiple earphone insertion sections 12 with one connecting section 13, the configuration of the holder 10 can be simplified.

更に、例えば無線型のイヤホン１６を簡易に装着することができ、無線型のイヤホン１６の意図しない離脱を抑止できる。 Furthermore, for example, wireless earphones 16 can be easily attached, and unintentional removal of the wireless earphones 16 can be prevented.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、これに限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で変更が可能である。また、前述した各形態は相互に組み合わせることが可能である。 Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. In addition, the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined with each other.

保持具１０が保持する小型機器としては、イヤホン１６の他にも無線型マイク等を採用することもできる。 In addition to earphones 16, wireless microphones and other small devices can also be used as small devices held by the holder 10.

図１を参照して、保持具支持部１１は略円環形状を呈していたが、不完全円環形状を呈しても良い。 Referring to FIG. 1, the holder support portion 11 has a substantially circular ring shape, but it may have an incomplete ring shape.

保持具１０は、様々なアイテムやそのカバー、アクセサリとして応用することができる。例えば、キーホルダ、ネックレス、ブレスレット、スマートフォンのカバー、ジッパー、ボタン、財布、サポーター、ボトル水筒、メガネ、時計（スマートウォッチを含む）の本体、時計（スマートウォッチを含む）のバンド、文房具等に応用することができる。 The holder 10 can be used for a variety of items, their covers, and accessories. For example, it can be used for key holders, necklaces, bracelets, smartphone covers, zippers, buttons, wallets, supporters, water bottles, glasses, watch bodies (including smart watches), watch bands (including smart watches), stationery, etc.
