Description

The present invention relates to a wine glass accessory attachment that can be detachably attached to the stem of a wine glass, allowing the user to distinguish between their own wine glass and someone else's.

At parties and other venues, wine glasses of the same shape are generally used. At a seated meal, there is no need to distinguish between other people's wine glasses, but at a stand-up party, people pick up glasses and move around unpredictably, so it is necessary to distinguish between other people's glasses. If someone accidentally uses someone else's glass, not only is it a hygiene problem, but it can also upset the participants. For this reason, Patent Document 1 discloses a wine glass accessory attachment that can be attached to a wine glass in order to distinguish between one's own and others' wine glasses.

The conventional wine glass accessory attachment described in Patent Document 1 comprises a main body that contacts the stem of the wine glass, a pair of clamping members provided on both sides of the main body for opening and closing, a coil spring that biases each clamping member in the clamping direction, and an attachment portion fixed to the main body, and an accessory can be attached to the attachment portion.

In this wine glass accessory attachment, the clamping member opens against the spring force of the coil spring, and the stem of the wine glass is inserted between the clamping member and the main body to close the clamping member. This closes the clamping member due to the spring force of the coil spring, and fixes the stem at a specified height position. In this state, the user attaches an accessory such as a pendant or dried flowers to the attachment part of the main body. This makes it possible to distinguish between one's own wine glass and someone else's.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Note that in each embodiment, the same components are assigned the same reference numerals.

First Embodiment
1 to 3 show a wine glass accessory attachment 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the wine glass accessory attachment 1 is detachably attached to a predetermined height position of the stem 110 of a wine glass 100, and the same is true for the other embodiments. Note that the wine glass here is not limited to a literal wine glass, but is a general term for any drinking glass having a stem, such as a champagne glass or cocktail glass. Similarly, the wine glass accessory attachment 1 is a general term including attachments for attaching accessories to drinking glasses having a stem, such as a champagne glass.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the wine glass accessory attachment 1 of this embodiment comprises a main body 2, a locking means 3, and an attachment portion 4.

As described above, the main body 2 is attached to the stem 110 of the wine glass 100 at a predetermined height. The main body 2 is formed in a belt shape from a flexible material such as resin, rubber, or leather. The length of the main body 2 is set to a length sufficient to surround the entire circumference of the stem 110. In this form, the main body 2 is set to a length that allows it to go around the stem 110 once and have both ends overlap. The width of the main body 2 is set so that, in combination with the length, it generates a tightening force against the stem 110.

A through hole 5 is formed in the main body 2. The through hole 5 is formed over almost the entire length of the main body 2 by penetrating a long hole in the thickness direction at approximately the center of the width direction of the main body 2. The male threaded portion 6 of the locking means 3 described below passes through the through hole 5. Since the through hole 5 is formed over almost the entire length of the main body 2, the male threaded portion 6 can be passed through any position in the length direction of the main body 5, which increases the degree of freedom in the attachment position of the male threaded portion 6.

As shown in FIG. 3, the locking means 3 includes a male threaded portion 6 having a flange portion 7, and a cap nut 8. The flange portion 7 is provided at the end of the male threaded portion 6 on the stem 110 side. The flange portion 7 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the stem 110, and has a curved surface that conforms to the outer peripheral surface of the stem 110. The cap nut 8 is screwed onto the male threaded portion 6 from the end of the male threaded portion 6 opposite the stem 110. This causes the flange portion 7 to be pressed against the outer surface of the stem 110, allowing the main body portion 2 to be fixed to the stem 110.

The mounting part 4 can be attached to the main body 2 at any position in the longitudinal direction. The mounting part 4 can be attached to the main body 2 by any means, such as gluing, welding, or screwing. However, if it is attached by gluing or welding, it cannot be removed, and the mounting position cannot be freely changed. If it is screwed, it can be attached and removed, but it is not possible to increase the number of mounting parts 4 or change its position relative to the main body 2 unless multiple screw holes are prepared in advance.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a part of the main body 2 is provided with an attachment hole 9 for attaching and detaching the attachment part 4 and a slide groove 10 for changing the attachment position of the attachment part 4. The attachment hole 9 is opened to a size that allows the attachment plate 4-1 provided at one end of the attachment part 4 to pass through, and the width of the slide groove 10 provided continuous with the attachment hole 9 is smaller than that of the attachment plate 4-1. As a result, the attachment part 4 inserted into the slide groove 10 can move along the slide groove 10 without falling out due to the presence of the attachment plate 4-1. The part of the main body 2 in which the attachment hole 9 and slide groove 10 are provided has a double structure of the stem 110 side and the outer periphery side with a gap between them, as shown in FIG. 2(b), for example, so that the attachment plate 4-1 can move in the gap between the double structure to smoothly move the attachment part 4. By providing the attachment hole 9 and slide groove 10 in this way, it becomes possible to freely change the number and position of the attachment parts 4.

The attachment part 4 is for attaching the wine glass user's earrings, pierced earrings, pendants, artificial flowers, name plates, and other accessories 120 in a removable manner. The accessories 120 may be any accessories that can be individually identified, and accessories 120 themed on birthstones, constellations, Chinese zodiac signs, etc. are also effective. In FIG. 2, the attachment part 4 is shown to have a ring-like shape, but the shape of the attachment part 4 is not limited to this. It may be hook-shaped so as to attach the ring-shaped accessory 120, or may have a clip-like shape so as to clamp a part of the accessory 120. Furthermore, a short chain may be provided via a short chain, and an attachment part such as a ring, hook, or clip may be provided at the end of the short chain so that the attached accessory 120 can easily swing. In addition, in order to make the accessory 120 more noticeable, the attachment part 4 may be provided directly or via a short chain at the end of a straight or arch-shaped beam 4-2 arranged to extend radially from the main body part 2 as shown in FIG. 2(c). The beam 4-2 may be provided on the main body part 2 side or on the attachment part 4 side. The shape of the attachment part 4 is not limited to this embodiment, and can be varied in other embodiments of the wine glass accessory attachment device 1 described below.

The use of the wine glass accessory attachment 1 with the above structure will now be described. The male threaded portion 6 is inserted into the through hole 5 at an appropriate position, and the main body portion 2 is wrapped around the stem 110 at any desired height. In this state, the main body portion 2 is rotated around the stem 110 to overlap the ends of the main body portion 2, and while applying tension to the body portion 2 as it is, the cap nut 8 is screwed onto the male threaded portion 6 so as to sandwich the overlapping portions. This fixes the main body portion 2 to the stem 110 at any desired height. After that, an accessory 120 such as a pendant of the wine glass user is attached to the attachment portion 4 (see FIG. 1). By attaching this accessory 120, the current user of the wine glass can be identified, and this makes it possible to distinguish the wine glass from that of another person.

In the embodiment in which the attachment/detachment holes 9 and the slide grooves 10 are provided as described above, the position can be changed by sliding only the attachment parts 4 even while the main body part 2 remains fixed. Furthermore, when multiple attachment parts 4 are added, the relative positions of the attachment parts 4 can be freely changed.
Even if the attachment portion 4 is directly fixed to the main body 2 without providing the attachment/detachment hole 9 and the slide groove 10, the position of the main body 2 relative to the stem 110 can be changed by rotating the main body 2, and this position change can change the position of the attachment portion 4 on the main body 2. Therefore, the accessory 120 attached to the attachment portion 4 can be easily moved to a position where it is easy to see.
Furthermore, regardless of the presence or absence of the attachment hole 9 and slide groove 10, the main body 2 has a length that wraps around the stem 110, so that multiple attachment parts 4 can be attached to the main body 2, and multiple accessories 120 can be provided, or long items such as chains can be hung at multiple points for decorative purposes. This improves the distinctiveness of the wine glass 100 from other wine glasses 100 and improves its appearance.

Second Embodiment
4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention.
The wine glass accessory attachment 1A of this embodiment includes a main body 11 and a locking means 12, and an attachment portion 4 is attached to the main body 11. An accessory 120 (not shown) is attached to the attachment portion 4.

The main body 11 is formed in a belt shape from a flexible material such as resin, rubber, or leather, and is preferably formed from rubber. The rubber adheres closely to the stem 110, so the attachment state to the stem 110 is stable. The belt-shaped main body 11 is set to a length sufficient to go around the stem 110.

The locking means 12 is formed by a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners provided on the front and back surfaces of the main body 11. FIG. 4 shows one hook-and-loop fastener 13 provided at one end of the front surface of the main body 11, and the other paired hook-and-loop fastener is provided at the end of the back surface of the main body 11 (not shown).

In this second embodiment, the belt-like main body 11 is wrapped around the stem 110 at an appropriate height, and while tension is applied to tighten the body 11, the hook-and-loop fasteners at the ends of the main body 11 are engaged with each other. This allows the glass to be attached to the stem 110 at an appropriate height. At this time, the wine glass user's accessory 120 can be attached to the attachment portion 4, making it possible to distinguish the wine glass from that of another person.

In this embodiment as well, the circumferential position of the main body 11 relative to the stem 110 can be changed by rotating the main body 11, and the position of the attachment portion 4 relative to the stem 110 can be changed. Therefore, the accessory 120 attached to the attachment portion 4 can be easily moved to a position where it is easy to see.
In addition, since the main body 11 has a length that is wound around the stem 110, a plurality of attachment parts 4 can be attached to the main body 2, and a plurality of accessories 120 can be provided. In this embodiment, a part of the main body 11 can be provided with an attachment hole 9 for attaching and detaching the attachment part 4 and a slide groove 10 for changing the attachment position of the attachment part 4, as shown in FIG. 2. In this case, the attachment part 4 can be changed even if the main body 11 is fixed. Furthermore, the number and positions of the attachment parts 4 can be freely changed, which improves the distinctiveness of the wine glass 100 and improves its appearance.

Third Embodiment
6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention.
The wine glass accessory attachment 1B of this embodiment includes a main body 21 and a locking means 22 provided on the main body 21. The attachment portion 4 is attached to the main body 21. An accessory 120 is attached to the attachment portion.

The main body 21 is formed in a belt shape from a flexible material such as resin, rubber, or leather, and is preferably formed from rubber. The rubber adheres closely to the stem 110, so the attachment state to the stem 110 is stable. The belt-shaped main body 21 is formed in an arc shape with a portion cut out. The reference numeral 23 denotes a cutout portion of the main body 21. The stem 110 is inserted into the main body 21 from this cutout portion 23.

The locking means 22 are provided so as to be located at both ends of the main body 21 facing the cutout 23. Specifically, a hook 24 is provided at one end as one locking means, and a recess 25 is provided at the other end as the other locking means. The hook 24 is housed in the recess 25 and engages with it. This causes the main body 21 to become a closed ring and is fixed to the stem 110. In order to fix it more reliably, it is preferable to form the circumferential length of the main body 21 shorter than the circumferential length of the stem 110 so that a tightening force is applied to the stem 110 when it is locked by the locking means 22, and to configure it so that the main body 21 is engaged while being stretched in the circumferential direction when the hook 24 is engaged.

In this embodiment as well, the circumferential position of the main body 21 relative to the stem 110 can be changed, and the position of the attachment portion 4 relative to the stem 110 can be changed. Therefore, the accessory 120 attached to the attachment portion 4 can be easily moved to a position where it is easy to see.
In addition, since the main body 21 has a length that is like a belt, a plurality of attachment parts 4 can be attached along the length of the main body 21, and the wine glass 100 can be equipped with a plurality of accessories 120. This improves the distinctiveness of the wine glass 100 and improves its appearance.

In this embodiment, a part of the main body 21 can also be provided with an attachment hole 9 for attaching and detaching the attachment part 4 as shown in FIG. 2, and a slide groove 10 for changing the attachment position of the attachment part 4. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the main body 21 is relatively thick because it has a recess 25. Therefore, for example, the attachment hole 9 and slide groove 10 can be provided so as to penetrate the main body 21, and a countersunk groove 10-1 deep enough to accommodate the attachment plate 4-1 of the attachment part 4 can be provided on the inner stem 110 side. This allows the attachment part 4 to move along the slide groove 10 without interfering with the stem 110. With this structure, it becomes possible to change the position of the attachment part 4 without changing the circumferential position of the main body 21 relative to the stem 110.

Fourth Embodiment
8 and 9 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
The wine glass accessory attachment 1C of this embodiment includes a main body 31 and a locking means 32 provided on the main body 31. The attachment portion 4 is attached to the main body 31. An accessory 120 is attached to the attachment portion 4.

The main body 31 is formed in a belt shape from a flexible material such as resin, rubber, or leather, and is preferably formed from rubber. The rubber adheres closely to the stem 110, so the attachment state to the stem 110 is stable. The belt-shaped main body 31 has a length that goes around the stem 110.

The locking means 32 are provided so as to be located at both ends of the main body 31. As shown in FIG. 9, the locking means 32 is formed by a first protrusion 33 that is L-shaped in a plan view and provided on one surface (outer surface) of one end 31a of the main body 31, and a second protrusion 34 that is L-shaped in a plan view and provided on the other surface (inner surface) of the other end 31b of the main body 31 so as to face the first protrusion 33. In this case, a plurality of first protrusions 33 are provided, and one second protrusion 34 is provided. The first protrusion 33 and the second protrusion 34 are locked together, so that the main body 31 is fixed to the stem 110 in a closed ring shape. In this case, tension is applied to the other end 31b of the main body 31 to lock the first protrusion 33 and the second protrusion 34 as close to the tip as possible, so that the main body 31 is more securely fixed.

In this embodiment as well, the circumferential position of the main body 31 relative to the stem 110 can be changed, and the position of the attachment portion 4 relative to the stem 110 can be changed. Therefore, the accessory 120 attached to the attachment portion 4 can be easily moved to a position where it is easily visible.
In addition, since the main body 31 has a length that is like a belt, a plurality of attachment parts 4 can be attached along the length of the main body 31, and a plurality of accessories 120 can be provided. In this embodiment, a part of the main body 31 can be provided with an attachment hole 9 for attaching and detaching the attachment part 4 and a slide groove 10 for changing the attachment position of the attachment part 4 as shown in FIG. 2. In this case, the attachment part 4 can be changed even if the main body 31 is fixed. Furthermore, it is possible to freely change the number and positions of the attachment parts 4, which improves the distinctiveness of the wine glass 100 and improves its appearance.

Fifth Embodiment
Figure 10 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention, in which Figure 10(a) shows the overall structure of a wine glass accessory attachment, and Figure 10(b) shows the engagement state of the fastening means.
The wine glass accessory attachment 1D of this embodiment includes a main body 41 and a locking means 42 provided on the main body 41. The attachment portion 4 is attached to the main body 41. An accessory 120 is attached to the attachment portion 4.
The main body 41 is formed in a belt shape from a flexible material such as resin, rubber, leather, etc., and is preferably formed from rubber. The rubber adheres closely to the stem 110, so that the attachment state to the stem 110 is stable. The belt-shaped main body 41 has a length that goes around the stem 110.

The locking means 42 includes a plurality of triangular grooves 43 provided on one end of the main body 41, an engagement protrusion 47 that engages with one of the plurality of triangular grooves 43, and a release lever 44 that rotates between an engagement position where the engagement protrusion 47 engages with the triangular groove 43 and a release position where the engagement is released, centered on a rotation axis 45 provided on the other end of the main body 41. As shown in FIG. 10(b), the engagement protrusion 47 is provided on the stem 110 side of the release lever 44, that is, on the surface side facing the triangular groove 43, and rotates together with the release lever 44 as the release lever 44 rotates, so that the state of engagement with the triangular groove 43 and the state of release can be used separately. In addition, the release lever 44 is biased to be positioned at the engagement position by the elastic means 46 provided in the locking means 42, so that the triangular groove 43 and the engagement protrusion 47 are engaged by pushing the one end side having the triangular groove 43 toward the release lever 44. The elastic means 46 is shown in the shape of a leaf spring in FIG. 10, but the shape and type are not limited to this. When removing the wine glass accessory attachment 1D, the engagement is released by rotating the release lever 44 to open against the elastic means 46. The multiple triangular grooves 43 may be formed by directly carving them into the main body 41, but they may also be formed from a different material from the main body 41, for example a resin material harder than the main body 41, and assembled by embedding them in the main body 41 or attaching them to the surface.

In this embodiment, the circumferential position of the main body 41 relative to the stem 110 can be changed, and the position of the attachment part 4 relative to the stem 110 can be changed. Therefore, the accessory 120 attached to the attachment part 4 can be easily moved to a position that is easy to see.

In addition, since the main body 41 has a length that is like a belt, multiple attachment parts 4 can be attached along the length of the main body 41, and multiple accessories 120 can be provided. In this embodiment, a part of the main body 41 can be provided with an attachment hole 9 for attaching and detaching the attachment part 4 and a slide groove 10 for changing the attachment position of the attachment part 4, as shown in Figures 2 and 6. In this case, the attachment part 4 can be changed even if the main body 41 remains fixed. Furthermore, it becomes possible to freely change the number and positions of the attachment parts 4, which improves the distinctiveness of the wine glass 100 and improves its appearance.

Sixth Embodiment
11 and 12 show a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
The wine glass accessory attachment 1E of this embodiment includes a main body 51 and a locking means 52 provided on the main body 51. The attachment portion 4 (not shown) is attached to the main body 51. An accessory 120 is attached to the attachment portion 4.

The main body 51 is formed in a ring shape with a portion cut out, and the stem 110 is inserted through the cutout. The main body 51 has a peripheral wall 53, and the locking means 52 is disposed on the inside of the peripheral wall 53.

The locking means 52 is formed by a vane body 54 and a ring member 55. The vane body 54 has a plurality of vanes 56 formed in an arc shape. Each vane 56 has a pin 57 and a rotating shaft 59, and the ring member 55 has a plurality of long pin holes 58 into which the pins 57 are inserted, and the pins 57 of the vanes 56 are inserted into the respective pin holes 58. The rotating shafts 59 of each vane 56 are rotatably inserted into the rotating shaft holes 60 of the main body 51. This forms the locking means 52 in which the vane body 54 and the ring member 55 are assembled. The ring member 55 is prevented from coming off the main body 51 by a locking claw (not shown) and is rotatable, and the vanes 56 connected to the ring member 55 rotate so as to tighten the stem 110 from the periphery by the rotating operation of the ring member 55. This rotating operation fixes the main body 51 to the stem 110. In order to secure the attachment, the ring member 55 is biased in a rotating direction so that the blade 56 rotates in the tightening direction by the elastic means 61, and it is desirable to provide a non-slip portion such as silicone rubber on the inner peripheral surface of the blade 56 facing the stem 110. In this case, when attaching the wine glass accessory attachment 1E to the stem 110, the ring member 55 is rotated against the elastic means 61 to rotate the blade 56 so as to open, and then the blade 56 is attached to surround the stem 110, and the rotation of the ring member 55 is released. This causes the elastic means 61 to rotate the ring member 55, which in turn rotates the blade 56 in the tightening direction. When removing the attachment, the ring member 55 is rotated against the elastic means 61, which releases the blade 56 from being tightened to the stem 110, and the main body 51 is removed from the stem 110.

In this embodiment as well, the circumferential position of the main body 51 relative to the stem 110 can be changed, and the position of the attachment portion 4 relative to the stem 110 can be changed. Therefore, the accessory 120 attached to the attachment portion 4 can be easily moved to a position where it is easy to see.
In addition, a plurality of attachment parts 4 can be attached to the main body 51, and a plurality of accessories 120 can be provided. In this embodiment, a part of the main body 51, for example, the peripheral wall 53, can be provided with an attachment hole 9 for attaching and detaching the attachment part 4 and a slide groove 10 for changing the attachment position of the attachment part 4 as shown in FIG. 6. In this case, the attachment part 4 can be changed even if the main body 51 is fixed. Furthermore, the number and positions of the attachment parts 4 can be freely changed, which improves the distinctiveness of the wine glass 100 and improves its appearance.

Figure 13 is a perspective view showing an application example of the wine glass accessory attachment of the present invention. Up to this point, we have explained that the wine glass accessory attachment 1 is used on the wine glass 100 mainly for identifying the wine glass 100, but the wine glass accessory attachment 1 of the present invention can also be used to decoratively display accessories 120 such as jewelry, taking advantage of its feature of being able to attach accessories 120 to the wine glass 100.

Figure 13 shows an embodiment in which wine glasses 100 with accessories 120 attached using the wine glass accessory attachment tool 1 are stacked and displayed three-dimensionally. Generally, in department store sales areas for accessories 120 such as jewelry, the accessories 120 are arranged flatly in display cases, but by stacking wine glasses 100 and displaying them three-dimensionally, the accessories 120 can attract the attention of customers passing by. Since multiple accessories 120 can be displayed together in a three-dimensional display, it is possible to create an exhibition that is more likely to attract attention by, for example, deciding on a theme and displaying accessories related to birthstones or the Chinese zodiac together.
