Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a belt for attaching a transmitter, and particularly to a belt for attaching a transmitter suitable for attaching a transmitter to infants, elderly people with dementia, and the like.

(Prior art) For the purpose of monitoring the behavior of infants, elderly people with dementia, etc.
It has been proposed to attach a wireless transmitter to a person to be monitored, such as an infant or a demented elderly person (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-27792).

A common method for attaching a transmitter to a person to be monitored is to attach the transmitter to a belt and wrap the belt around the person to be monitored.

However, even if a person is made to wear a belt with a transmitter attached to it, the person being monitored may remove the belt themselves due to the inconvenience of wearing it, or the transmitter may be removed or destroyed. In order to solve this problem, the present inventor devised a belt for attaching a transmitter with a locking mechanism and filed an application (Utility Application No. 1-1999).
No. 40234). This technology consists of a band-shaped body, a buckle provided at one end of the band-shaped body to maintain the tightened state when the band-shaped body is tightened, and a buckle provided on the buckle or the band-shaped body and operated. a first locking mechanism for preventing the band-shaped body held by the buckle from loosening when the belt-shaped body is tightened; and a transmitter provided in the middle of the band-shaped body and capable of storing a transmitter therein. A second locking mechanism is provided in the transmitter housing part or the band-shaped body, and makes it impossible to remove the transmitter housed in the transmitter housing part when activated. Once the person wearing the watch wears it, the band will not loosen unless the first locking mechanism is released.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the person to be monitored from loosening and removing the belt-shaped body by himself/herself. Furthermore, the second locking mechanism makes it impossible to take out the transmitter inside the transmitter accommodating section, making it possible to prevent the transmitter from being taken out or destroyed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the above transmitter mounting belt
Although the monitor cannot be easily removed by the person being monitored and has an excellent effect in preventing the transmitter from being removed or destroyed, it has two locking mechanisms, so the transmitter cannot be activated. In order to attach the monitor to a person to be monitored, two locking mechanisms must be operated, and on the other hand, when removing the monitor, two locking mechanisms must be released, which is troublesome.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a belt for attaching a transmitter that can be more easily attached to and detached from a person to be monitored.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, a belt for attaching a transmitter according to the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, the present invention provides a belt-shaped body in which a locking part provided at one end can be locked to a locked part provided at the other end, and a belt-shaped body in which the locking part of the belt-shaped body is a transmitter accommodating part fixed to one end side of the transmitter accommodating part and capable of accommodating a transmitter therein; a cover that covers the transmitter accommodating part and the locking part so that the locking part and the locked part cannot be unlocked;
The present invention is characterized by comprising a locking mechanism for locking the cover to the band-shaped body so that the cover does not open.

In addition, in the present invention, a locking part having a locking piece is provided on one end side, a locked part is provided on the other end side, and the locking piece moves in the direction of the locked part. a band-shaped body that locks on the locked part; a transmitter accommodating part that is fixed to one end of the band-shaped body where the locking part is provided and that can store a transmitter therein; In this state, the transmitter accommodating portion and the locking portion are arranged so that the transmitter stored in the transmitter accommodating portion cannot be taken out and at the same time, the locking portion and the locked portion cannot be unlocked. a cover that covers the locking portion; and a cover provided inside the cover, when the cover covers the locking portion, comes into contact with the locking piece to release the locking of the locking piece to the locked portion. There is also a belt for attaching a transmitter, characterized in that it is provided with a protrusion that prevents the cover from moving in the direction in which the transmitter is moved, and a locking mechanism that locks the cover to fix it to the band-shaped body so that the cover does not open. .

(effect) The effect will be explained.

A single cover covers the transmitter accommodating part and the locking part, and a single locking mechanism can be used to lock the cover to the strip so that the cover cannot be opened.

Therefore, when attached to a person to be monitored, simply activating one locking mechanism prevents the transmitter stored in the transmitter accommodating section from being taken out, and at the same time locks the locking part and the locked part. The cover can be fixed so that the release operation cannot be performed. Further, when the transmitter is removed from the person to be monitored, it is only necessary to release one locking mechanism.

Furthermore, if the locking piece is arranged to lock onto the locked part by moving in the direction of the locked part, and a protrusion on the inside of the cover is arranged to abut the locking piece when the cover is closed, preventing the locking piece from moving in the direction to release the lock from the locked part, the locking part and the locked part can be more reliably locked together, thereby making it possible to effectively prevent the belt from becoming loose.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A known cylinder lock 40 is used, and by operating a key 42, a lock piece 44 can be inserted into and inserted into a locking hole (not shown) of the L-shaped member 26. In other words, when the locking piece 44 enters the locking hole, the cover 20 becomes locked so that it cannot be opened. As described above, in this embodiment, the cylinder lock 40 and the locking hole of the L-shaped member 26 constitute a locking mechanism.

Reference numeral 46 denotes a protrusion that extends downward from the inner surface of the cover 20.

A locking piece 48 has a flange 62 and a pin-shaped portion projecting downward from near the center of the flange 62. This locking piece 48 is vertically movable along a guide 50 through which the pin-shaped portion is inserted, and the lower end of the locking piece 48 passes through the through hole 52 of the transmitter housing part 14 and protrudes from the lower surface of the transmitter housing part 14. It's becoming possible. The locking piece 48 is always urged upward by a spring 54, and when the cover 20 is opened, the locking piece 48 is pushed upward by the spring 54 so that its lower end is drawn into the transmitter housing section 14.

In addition, the locking piece 48 is inserted through the hole 64 of the band-like body 12 in the illustrated state, and the movement of the band-like body 14 in the length direction with respect to the transmitter accommodating portion 12 is prevented, and the transmitter attachment belt 10 is removed. It has become impossible.

In this way, the locking mechanism including the locking piece 48 described above constitutes a locking portion provided at one end of the band-shaped body 12.

Further, the hole 64 constitutes a locked portion provided at the other end of the strip 12.

A pin lock spring 56 is an example of a holding means, and its lower end is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the transmitter accommodating portion 14. The pin lock spring 56 has a hook portion 58,
