Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cord stopper for stopping a cord used for clothes such as outerwear, pants, hoods, gloves, and more particularly to a cord stopper provided with a means for fixing the cord to clothes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A string stopper is widely used for clothes such as clothes outerwear, trousers, hoods and gloves. The string is applied around the waist or neck of the garment to squeeze a part of the garment or is simply used as a decorative string. There are various methods of using the straps used for these purposes, such as stopping the straps so that they do not fall out of clothes or fixing them to a part of the straps for decorative purposes. For example, FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a cord stopper that has been conventionally used and a method of using the cord stopper. As shown in FIG. 1, the cord 2 is inserted through the root of the hood integrated with the garment 1 and both ends thereof are tied. It is a hump and is further fixed with a string stopper 3. In FIG. 2, the cord 2 is inserted around the waist of the garment 1, or two individual cords are fixed to the garment at one end thereof, and the cord stoppers 3 are fixed to the garment. In FIG. 2, when the string 2 is inserted around the waist, the string stopper 3 functions both to prevent the string from coming off and to decorate it, but when fixing two separate strings 2 to the clothes, the string stopper 3 3 is just a decoration. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional cord stopper has two main bodies 4 each having an aligned through hole for inserting the cord 2, a push member 5 fitted to the main body 4, and a push member 5 which is always biased. It is composed of an elastic member (not shown) that locks the cord by shifting the through hole.

[0003]

However, as described above, the conventional cord stopper is fixed to the end of the cord but is not fixed to the clothes, so that it is simply suspended together with the cord. , There is a problem that the string stopper hits the face when the wearer runs or performs other intense exercise, or gets caught when there is a fly, a telephone pole, a grove or the like in the surroundings.
Therefore, the present invention aims to solve such a problem.

In Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 6-251638, the present inventors provided a means for fixing to a garment on the main body 4 of the cord stopper having the above-mentioned structure, and fixed the strap directly or with a fixed length (circle). The above problem could be solved by limiting the movable range of the cord stopper by fixing the cord stopper to the clothes through a cord, a flat cord, etc.). However, in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 6-251638, the means for fixing the fixing strap is exposed to the outside, and an extra member is required correspondingly, which impairs the flexibility of the design. The present invention solves the same problem without changing the cylindrical shape.
The present invention also provides a cord stopper that allows the position of the cord stopper to be easily adjusted without pressing the cord stopper by hand.

That is, the cord stopper of the present invention is a hollow cylinder provided with at least one cord through hole and one fixing strap through hole along the axial direction so as to intersect with the axial line. A push member that is movably held in the inner hole of the tubular body and the tubular body and is movable between a string locking position and a string releasing position, and is inserted into the string through hole at the string locking position. Push member having at least one locking portion for locking to the cord, and a long hole for keeping the strap inserted through the through hole for the fixed strap free at both the cord locking position and the string releasing position. And elastic means for constantly biasing the push member toward the string locking position.

The engaging portion of the push member is the end wall of the through hole opened in the push member so that the cord and the strap can be inserted, which is opposite to the biasing direction. Although one or two strings may be used, two strings are preferable as described later. In the case of a single string, only the above-mentioned long hole is formed as the through hole of the push member, so that it can be used for both the strap and the string. Alternatively, the push member may be formed with a single through hole dedicated to the string and a long hole dedicated to the strap. When there are two cords, as in the embodiment, two cord through holes and one strap through hole are formed in the tubular body, and one cord through hole is formed in the push member. It is preferable that one elongated hole for the strap is formed and one of the two straps is inserted into the elongated hole. In this case, the position of the string stopper can be adjusted simply by holding the two strings by hand and pulling. Alternatively, one string through hole and one strap through hole are formed in the tubular body, and one string through hole and one strap long hole are formed in the push member. And two strings can be inserted together into one string through hole.

[0007]

According to the present invention, one end of a relatively short strap is fixed to clothes, a hood, clothes such as gloves, and the other end is inserted into the strap penetrating hole of the tubular body and the long hole of the push member to tie the free end. Or sew it with a thread into a permanent ball. Even if the push member is pushed with a finger, the strap can always move freely because of the long hole of the push member. If the strap is thick, it can be frictionally locked at any place on the strap, but if it is thin, it is generally fastened with a knot of a string, or the strap is looped and fixed to clothes. One or two cords are passed through the cord through hole of the main body and the cord through hole or the long hole of the push member, and the locking portion of the push member is locked to these cords by the action of the elastic member. This locks the string, but if you want to adjust the position of the string stopper, pull the free ends of the two strings or
Alternatively, hold the string stopper with your finger and pull it against the string. If there is only one string or two strings, hold the string stopper with your finger and pull it against the string. In these cases, the cord stopper moves against the frictional force between the cord and the locking portion. If that is difficult, push the push member into the tubular body with your fingers to free the cord and pull it against the cord. According to the present invention, the strap for fixing the cord stopper to the garment can be attached only by adding the through hole and the long hole to the cord stopper itself without providing any special fixing means. Since this strap does not hinder the strapping function, the relative positions of the strap and the strap fastener can be freely adjusted.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to examples applied to gloves, but it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to any garment. 3 to 4 show the structure and use state of the cord stopper of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows a usage state of the glove. The cord stopper includes a hollow hard plastic cylindrical main body 12 having a circular or square cross section, and a hard plastic push member 11 having a circular or square cross section fitted in an inner hole 21 of the hollow plastic main body 12. , And an elastic member 20 (in this case, a spiral spring) inserted into the bottom of the inner hole of the tubular body 12. The tubular main body 12 has a string through hole 17 along the axial direction,
18 and a through hole 19 for one fixing strap 15 in the middle thereof are provided so as to intersect the axis. The push member 11 is movable between the illustrated string locking position and the string releasing position in which the spring is compressed, and the string through holes 17 and 18 are provided.
Has a through hole 22 through which the cords 14 and 16 are inserted and a long hole 13, and the end wall on the spring side of the through hole 22 has a locking portion 23 for locking the cord 14 at the cord locking position, The spring side end wall of the elongated hole 13 forms a locking portion 24 for locking the string 16 at the string locking position. The long hole 13 is aligned with the through hole 19 for inserting the fixing strap 15 regardless of the position of the push member 11, and the fixing strap 15 to be inserted can be left free. It should be noted that appropriate detents can be provided at appropriate locations on both members so that the push member 11 and the tubular body 12 are not separated before the string is inserted.

The cord stopper having the above construction has a fixing strap 15 (which may have the same structure as the cord or may have a different structure).
3 to 4 are inserted into the through hole 19 and the long hole 13, and then looped to fix both ends to the wrist of the glove by sewing or snapping. Alternatively, instead of looping, one end may be sewn onto the glove and the other end tied into a knot. Furthermore, the cords 14 and 16 extending from the ends of the loop-shaped cords inserted around the wrist of the glove 25 are provided with through holes 17 as shown in FIGS.
Insert into 18 and lock. If you want to change the relative positions of the cord and the cord stopper, pull the ends of the cords 14 and 16 simultaneously or alternately with your fingers and the push member 11 will move downwards in FIGS. The frictional force is reduced to bring the cord stopper closer to the wrist of the glove. Alternatively, while pushing the push member 11 with a finger, the cord stopper is slid along the cord. To move it away from the wrist, push the push member 11 with a finger and slide the cord stopper along the cord, or simply pull the cord stopper without pushing the push member 11.

Next, as a modified example, there is the following case. However, the relationship between the through hole 19 for the fixing strap 15 and the long hole 13 is not changed. (1) In the embodiments of FIGS. 3 to 4, the through hole 17 of the two string through holes of the tubular body 12 is omitted, and the through hole 23 of the push member 11 is omitted. Then, when two strings are used, they are put together, or when one string is used, they are passed through the through hole 18 and the long hole 13. (2) In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 to 4, the through hole 18 of the two string through holes 17, 18 of the tubular body 12 is omitted, and the other through hole 17 and the through hole of the push member 11 are omitted. 23
When two cords are used, they are put together, or when one cord is used, they are passed through the through hole 17 and the through hole 22 of the push member 11.

One or two cords are passed through the cord through hole of the main body and the cord through hole or the long hole of the push member, and the elastic member acts to lock the locking portion of the push member to these cords. Let As a result, the cord is locked, but if it is desired to adjust the position of the cord stopper, the free ends of the two cords are pulled or the cord stopper is held with a finger and pulled to the cord. 1 string
In the case of a book or two books, hold the string stopper with your finger and pull it against the string. In these cases, the cord stopper moves against the frictional force between the cord and the locking portion. If that is difficult, push the push member into the tubular body with your fingers to free the cord and pull it against the cord. According to the present invention, the strap for fixing the cord stopper to the garment can be attached only by adding the through hole and the long hole to the cord stopper itself without providing any special fixing means. Since this strap does not hinder the function of the cord stopper, the relative positions of the cord and the cord stopper can be freely adjusted.

[0012]

Since the attachment position of the cord stopper is restricted within a certain range by using the strap, the cord stopper hits the face or flies around when the wearer runs or performs other intense exercise. If there are utility poles, grove, etc., they will not get caught. The present invention also simplifies the material and structure by eliminating the need to attach a member for fixing the fixing strap to the outside of the tubular body. Also,
When using two cords, the position of the cord stopper can be easily adjusted by pulling the cord without holding the cord stopper by hand.
