Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hand strap which is used, for example, for hanging on a portable telephone, a portable radio, a camera or the like, or for backing up when holding these by hand.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A typical structure of a conventional hand strap is shown in FIG. That is, the hand strap includes a suspending loop portion Sa formed in a loop shape by connecting both ends of a band-shaped string member having a relatively wide width to each other and fixing them together, and both ends of a relatively thin round string member. Is fixedly connected to the loop connecting end portion W of the hanging loop portion Sa, and the loop body S is also formed in a loop shape by the locking loop portion Sb. The structure is such that a connecting portion cover C for covering the connecting portion is attached.

[0003] Such a hand strap is used by being locked to an object to be used such as a mobile phone or a portable radio by a locking loop portion Sb. In the conventional use, the hanging loop portion Sa is used. It is common to hang it through your hands.

By the way, all conventional hand straps have a fixed length. For this reason, for example, if the length is determined based on the size of the hand of an average adult man, it is likely to cause a problem that it is too long for children and women, and mobile phones, which are the main applications of hand straps, It has become unsuitable for the current situation where the user base of mobile radios and cameras is expanding regardless of gender and age. In addition, the conventional hand straps can basically only be used in a hanging manner, and there are some that are functionally insufficient in this respect as well.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a buckle member for a hand strap which enables the length of the hand strap to be freely adjusted. The present invention also aims to provide a hand strap using such a buckle member. Another object of the present invention is to provide a hand strap that can be used in a manner other than the hanging type, such as a use as a backup support when the object to be used is held directly in the hand.

[0006]

A buckle member according to the present invention has a first insertion portion which is provided so as to penetrate in the length direction and has a fixing means for giving a fixed state to a string body, and a first insertion portion. The structure is provided with a second insertion portion provided in parallel insertion directions and a folding portion with a folding bar provided at the tip of the second insertion portion.

In order to attach the buckle member to the hand strap, first, the string body is inserted through the first insertion portion, and fixed by the fixing means there.
In this state, after giving the first folding to the string body,
The tip of the second turn-back is inserted into the second insertion portion, and the second turn-back is provided while being wound around the turn-up bar at the turn-back portion, and then the tip of the second turn-back is led out from the second insertion portion again. To

Therefore, in the hand strap using this buckle member, the length of the loop provided by the first turn-back is changed by changing the length of leading out the string body from the second insertion portion, and as a result, the total length thereof is adjusted. In addition, the length adjusted in this way is fixed by the second fold in a state of being wrapped around the fold bar in the fold portion, and the intended length can be reliably provided.

Although various structures can be used for the fixing means in such a buckle member, one of the preferable modes is to have a claw portion at the tip end and to make the base end side elastically deformable so that the first insertion portion. And a step portion formed on the first insertion portion, and when the string body is inserted through the first insertion portion, the non-return nail is provided via the claw portion at the tip end portion. Elastically presses against the side surface of the string body, and this non-return claw presses against the string body to prevent displacement in one direction. The structure is such that it is fixed by restricting the displacement in the direction of, and the other one has a welded portion provided at an intermediate position of the first insertion portion, and is inserted into the first insertion portion through this welded portion. The structure is such that the buckle member is fixed to the string body by welding the string body to the buckle member. The former has the advantage of excellent workability because the buckle member can be fixed simply by inserting the string body forming the hand strap, and the latter has a simple structure and more reliable fixation. There are advantages.

One of the hand straps according to the present invention using the buckle member as described above has the following structure.
That is, the second string member is connected to one end of the first string member for forming the hanging loop part in the state where the locking loop part is formed to form the string body, and the string body is The loop portion for locking by the two string members is inserted into the first insertion portion in a state of penetrating from the rear end side of the first insertion portion, and in this state, the first folded portion provided to the other end side of the first string member is provided. It will be a loop for hanging.

This hand strap can of course be used in a suspended manner, but it can also be used as a backup support in addition to this. That is, in this hand strap, the first folded portion serves as the hanging loop portion. The hanging loop portion formed by the first folded portion has a fixed closed structure like the hanging loop portion in the conventional hand strap. Not openable. That is, the loop can be opened by pulling out the first string member from the second insertion portion. Therefore, if a second locking portion is provided on the object to be used in addition to the locking portion for the locking loop portion, this second
The hanging loop part can be locked to the locking part of
By doing this, it will be in the state of a "handbag band" that is often seen in bags, etc. If you put your hand between the "handbag band", it will function as a backup support when holding the object directly in your hand be able to.

Another one of the hand straps according to the present invention using the above-mentioned buckle member is that the buckle members are symmetrically attached to both ends of the string body so that the buckle member is pierced from the first insertion portion of each buckle member. In addition, the first folds applied to the respective ends are used as locking loop portions.

A hand strap of the type in which the buckle member is provided at both ends of the string body is suitable for use mainly as a backup support when the object to be used is held directly in the hand.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The first embodiment is an example of a hand strap of a type that can be used for suspension and backup. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hand strap 1 according to the present embodiment.
Is composed of a string body 2 and a buckle member 3, and the string body 2 is provided at one end of a relatively wide flat first string member 2a for forming a suspending loop part and is provided with a locking loop part 4a.
(FIGS. 2 and 3) is formed into a loop so that a relatively thin round second string member 2b is welded.

On the other hand, the buckle member 3 has a structure having a first insertion portion 5, a second insertion portion 6, a check claw 7 and a folded portion 8. The first insertion portion 5 is the first string member 2
It is composed of a large-diameter portion 5a through which a is inserted and a small-diameter portion 5b through which the second string member 2b is inserted, and is provided in a state of penetrating in the longitudinal direction as a whole. Further, the second insertion portion 6 is provided in a state parallel to the first insertion portion 5, and the tip of the second insertion portion 6 is a fold-back portion 8 which is opened to the outside, and a fold-back bar 9 is provided therein over the entire width thereof. There is. The check claw 7 is a string body 2.
It forms a part of "fixing means" for fixing the buckle member 3 to the buckle member 3, and is provided along the first insertion portion 5, and its base end portion is elastically deformable. As described above, when the string body 2 is inserted into the first insertion part 5, the claw portion 7e at the tip end thereof is pressed against the string body 2 while being elastically deformed.

The relationship between the buckle member 3 and the string body 2 is as follows. First, the string body 2 is inserted through the first insertion portion 5. The insertion state is a state in which the locking loop portion 4 by the second string member 2b penetrates from the rear end side of the first insertion portion 5. In this state, the end surface of the first string member 2a comes into contact with the step portion 10 at the boundary between the large diameter portion 5a and the small diameter portion 5b, whereby the relative movement of the buckle member 3 in the arrow X direction is restricted. That is, the step portion 10 functions as a part of the "fixing means". At the same time, the non-return claw 7 which is a part of the "fixing means" is pressed by the claw portion 7e, so that the relative movement of the buckle member 3 in the Y direction shown by the arrow is also restricted. It becomes a fixed state with respect to the string body 2.

In such a state, the second string member 2b
After giving the 1st folding | returning 11 to the front end side of this, making the front side of this 1st folding | returning 11 penetrate in the 2nd penetration part 6, and then giving the 2nd folding | returning 12 in the state which is wrapped around the folding | returning bar 9, The tip is again inserted into the second insertion portion 6 and led out to the outside.

As a result, the first folded portion 11 forms a loop, and this loop becomes the hanging loop portion 13. The length of the hanging loop portion 13 thus obtained can be adjusted by changing the length of the second string member 2b led out from the second insertion portion 6, and the length once adjusted can be adjusted. It can be maintained by the second folded portion 12 depending on the state of being wrapped around the folded portion bar 9 in the folded portion 8.

The hand strap 1 according to this embodiment can be used not only for hanging, but also for backing up support when the object to be used is directly held in the hand. Specifically, for example, as for a mobile phone T shown in FIG. 4, for a type of use object having two lock receiving portions Ta and Tb, one lock receiving portion Ta has a lock loop portion. 4 is locked and the suspending loop portion 13 is locked to the other lock receiving portion Tb, so to speak, it is called a "handbag band", and the hand is inserted between the "handbag bands". In such usage, it is especially important that the length of the "handbag band" can be freely adjusted, and the above-mentioned length adjustment function is more effective.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a buckle member 21 according to the second embodiment. This buckle member 21 is
Basically, it is the same as the buckle member 3 in the first embodiment, and has a structure including a first insertion portion 22, a second insertion portion 23, and a folded portion 25 with a folded bar 24.
The "fixing means" are different. In particular,
A thin welded portion 26 is provided along the first insertion portion 22 as "fixing means", and the string body 27 inserted through the first insertion portion 22 is welded through the welded portion 26 to thereby fix it. I am supposed to do it.

The third embodiment is an example of a type of hand strap adapted for backup use. The hand strap 31 according to this embodiment is
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the wide and flat first string member 3
2a has a pair of buckle members 3 symmetrically provided at both ends of a string body 32 having a structure in which a flat second string member 32b having a smaller width but the same thickness as the first string member 32a is welded to both ends.
It has a structure in which 3, 33 are attached.

The buckle member 33 is basically the second
Similar to the buckle member 21 of the embodiment, the first insertion portion 34,
Second insertion portion 35, and folding portion 3 with folding bar 36
7, and a plurality of welded portions 38, 38, ... That are thinned along the first insertion portion 34 are provided as “fixing means”, and these welded portions 38, 38 ,.
It is adapted to be fixed to the string body 32 by being welded via.

Further, each buckle member 33, 33 and the string body 3
The relationship of 2 is also basically the same, and the second string member 32b protruding from the first insertion portion 34 is provided with the first folding back 39, and the front side thereof is further inserted into the second insertion portion 35, and then The second folding 4 which is wrapped around the folding bar 36
After 0 is given, the tip is led out to the outside again via the second insertion portion 35. Therefore, in this case, the first folds 39, which are loops, are formed at both ends.

FIG. 1 shows a typical use state when the hand strap 31 according to this embodiment is used as a backup.
It becomes like 0. That is, the locking loop portions 41, 41 provided by the first folded portions 39, 39 of the buckle members 33, 33 are respectively locked to the two lock receiving portions Ma, Mb of the object M to be used. By setting it in the open state, it is used in the above-mentioned “handy band” -like usage.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to freely adjust the length of the hand strap, and use the hand strap with the length most suitable for the hand of each user. Moreover, since the usage of the hand strap can be expanded to other than the hanging type usage, the functionality of the hand strap can be further enhanced.
