Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Purpose of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a nail clipper with a storage case in which the nail clipper body is housed within the case.

(Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions) Conventionally, this type of nail clipper, for example,
There is one described in Publication No. 57-45805. This nail clipper simply stores the nail clipper body in a case, and if the overall length of the case was shortened along with the nail clipper body in order to make the whole thing smaller, it would be difficult to hold the case during use, which would be inconvenient. There was a problem.

Therefore, by using a lid that can be placed over the case when not in use, and by making it possible to grasp the case and the lid at the same time when in use, it is very easy to use even with a small nail clipper, and this reduces the number of parts. The present invention has a simple configuration without increasing the amount of data.

Structure of the invention (means for solving problems) That is, the present invention, as shown in the drawings of the embodiments described later, includes a case 7 for storing the nail clipper main body 1,
In a nail clipper with a storage case that is equipped with a lid 19 that can be placed over the case 7 from above when not in use, the blade edges 2a and 3a of the stored nail clipper main body 1
A lid connecting portion 12 is provided on the rear end side of the case 7 on the opposite side, and support holes 14 are provided on both outer surfaces of the lid connecting portion 12 on the same axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the case 7.
A pair of side plates 21 into which the lid connecting portion 12 is fitted are formed at least at the rear end 22 of the lid 19, and the rear end side between the both side plates 21 is opened, and the inner surfaces of the both side plates 21 are provided with the above-mentioned side plates. A support protrusion 25 is formed which is inserted into the support hole 14 and rotatably supports the lid 19 with respect to the case 7, and furthermore, a support protrusion 25 is formed between the outer surfaces of both sides of the lid connecting portion 12 and the inner surfaces of the both side plates 21. Engagement means 1 consisting of a concave and convex fitting relationship for positioning the lid 19 relative to the case 7 in a used state in which the lid 19 is opened from the case 7 and extended toward the rear of the case 7
3 and 24 are provided.

(Function) When in use, the lid 19 is opened from the case 7 and the engaging means 1 is extended toward the rear of the case 7.
3 and 24 are fitted together to position the case 7. In this state of use, the user can hold the case 7 and the lid 19 at the same time. On the other hand, the lid 19 is placed over the case 7 when not in use.
Furthermore, since the engaging means 13 and 14 only need to form an uneven fitting relationship between the outer surfaces of both sides of the lid connecting portion 12 and the inner surfaces of the side plates 21 of the lid 19, the structure is simple and low in manufacturing cost. This makes it possible to easily assemble the case 7 and the lid 19.

A stopper hole 6 is provided through the base end of the holder.

As shown in Figures 2, 5, 7, and 8, in the case 7, side wall plates 9 are erected from both left and right sides of the bottom wall plate 8, and the front end 10 and upper end 11 between the both side wall plates 9 are open. At the same time, a lid connecting portion 12 is formed at the rear end of both side wall plates 9. Rectangular recesses 1 extending in the vertical direction are provided on both left and right sides of the lid connecting portion 12.
3 is formed, and a support hole 14 that communicates both the recesses 13 is provided in the lid connecting portion 12 in a left-right direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the case 7 .
A blade mounting portion 15 is formed between the side wall plates 9 on the front side of the lid connecting portion 12 so as to form a step shape with respect to the connecting portion 12.
6 is recessed. Further, another blade mounting part 17 is provided on the bottom wall plate 8 slightly in front of this blade mounting part 15 in a protruding manner. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the nail clipper body 1 is housed in the case 7, and the base ends of the upper and lower blade bodies 2 and 3 are placed on the double blade mounting parts 15 and 17. At the same time, the cutting edges 2a and 3a are located at the front end 10 of the case 7. A retaining pin 18 is inserted into the retaining hole 6 of the upper and lower blade bodies 2, 3 and the retaining hole 16 of one of the blade mounting portions 15, and is fixed to both side wall plates 9.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, 9, 10, and 11, the lid 19 has side plates 21 on both left and right sides of the top plate 20.
are formed, and the front ends thereof are continuous with each other via the finger hook recesses 21a, and the rear ends 22 and lower ends 23 on the side plates 21 are open. A rectangular convex portion 24 extending in the vertical direction is formed inside the rear end 22 of the both side plates 21, and support protrusions 25 are provided on both convex portions 24 in a protruding manner. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5, and 6, the lid 19
The lid connecting part 12 of the case 7 is fitted into the rear end 22 between the side plates 21 of the case 7, and the support protrusion 25 of the lid 19 is inserted into the support hole 14 of the case 7, so that the lid 19 is rotatably supported with respect to the case 7. At the same time, the lid 19 is in the used state shown in FIG. 1 and in the unused state shown in FIG.

Now, when the lid 19 is rotated clockwise about the support protrusion 25 from the state shown in FIGS. The rear ends 22 of both side plates 21 are bent outward. Then, the convex portion 24 rides on both outer surfaces of the lid connecting portion 12 from within the concave portion 13, and the fitted and locked state is released. Then, when the convex portions 24 are slid onto both outer surfaces of the lid connecting portion 12 and rotated further, the lid 19 and the case 7 are rotated.
At the position where the case 7 is opened and extended toward the rear of the case 7 and is in use, the convex portion 24 is fitted and locked into the concave portion 13 again, thereby being positioned with respect to the case 7. In this state of use, the user can support the case 7 with the fingers of the hand and at the same time grip the lid 19 by sandwiching it between the fingers and the pad of the hand. Therefore, the nail clipper can be held with good stability during use, making it very easy to use. On the other hand, when not in use, the lid 19 is placed over the case 7 and positioned relative to the case 7, as shown in FIG. 4, making the entire nail clipper compact.

In addition, in order to position the lid 19 with respect to the case 7, a convex portion 2 is provided on the inner surface of the rear end 22 of the both side plates 21.
It is only necessary to form concave portions 13 on both outer surfaces of the lid connecting portion 12 which is fitted between the inner surfaces of the lid connecting portion 12, and the structure can be simplified without increasing the number of other parts. The assembling work of the lid 19 to
This can be easily done by simply inserting it, so manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Effects of the Invention As detailed above, the present invention particularly provides a lid connecting portion 12 on the rear end side of the case 7, which is opposite to the cutting edges 2a and 3a of the stored nail clipper body 1, and connects the lid. Support holes 14 are formed on both outer surfaces of the portion 12 on the same axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the case 7, and the lid connecting portion 12 is formed at least at the rear end 22 of the lid 19.
A pair of side plates 21 are formed into which the side plates 21 are fitted.
Support protrusions 2 are inserted into the support holes 14 and rotatably support the lid 19 with respect to the case 7 on the inner surfaces of the side plates 21.
Furthermore, between the outer surfaces of both sides of the lid connecting portion 12 and the inner surfaces of the side plates 21, there are lids 19 for the case 7 when the lid 19 is opened from the case 7 and extended toward the rear of the case 7. By providing the engaging means 13 and 24 consisting of a fitting relationship of unevenness for positioning the lid 19, when the lid 19 is rotated in the opening direction from the unused state covered with the case 7, the case 7 is closed.
The engaging means 13 and 24 are fitted and locked in the used position where the lid 19 is opened and extended to the rear of the case 7, and the lid 19 can be positioned with respect to the case 7. The lid 19 can be gripped at the same time, so even a small nail clipper can be gripped with good stability, making it very easy to use.
It is only necessary to form a convex-concave fitting relationship between the inner surface of the lid connecting portion 12 and both outer surfaces of the lid connecting portion 12 that are fitted between the inner surfaces, and the structure can be simplified without requiring an increase in the number of other parts. In addition, since the lid 19 can be easily assembled to the case 7 by simply fitting the lid connecting portion 12 between the side plates 21, manufacturing costs can be reduced.
