2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a tie stopper or the like is used as a means for fixing a tie or the like when the tie or the like is attached. be able to. Of these, the former sandwich type is a type that is sandwiched by a clip method, and it is possible to stably and reliably fix a tie etc., and attach importance to practicality that is generally widely used. The latter type is a type in which only decorative items such as jewelry are exposed on the outer surface with emphasis on decorativeness, and the locking device is exposed on the outer surface. It is a form not allowed. Therefore, in general, a needle-stop tie pin or the like is used as a high-end product that can remarkably exhibit its decorative effect when worn.

[0003] By the way, the former sandwich type is
In terms of structure, generally, products such as a clip type and a crimp type have been developed. Among them, the clip type product is formed of a metal plate made of a single material, and is formed by folding the clip into two. It is designed to hold a tie etc. between the front part and the back part and is fixed.Since the mounting operation is easy and the fixing function is excellent, it is widely used as a practical product. is there. In addition, the crimp-type product, the front part and the back part of the above-mentioned clip-type product are formed separately so that the opening of the clip can be enlarged and the pinching operation to a tie or the like can be easily performed. A crimping piece having a spring function is provided between them, and the fixing function is strengthened by the action of the crimping piece. This is known as a high-grade product obtained by upgrading a clip-shaped product.

On the other hand, in contrast to the above-mentioned pinched product, a needle-stop type product is a needle-type product in which a decorative article is mounted on a base and one needle (pin body) is protrudingly provided on the back surface of the base. Is used by combining the accessory and the pin engaging body (pin catch). However, due to the locking mechanism, during use, there is some trouble in the locked state of the needle of the accessory and the pin engaging body due to external force or the like. When the external force is applied and the engaging force of the pin engaging member with respect to the needle decreases, the needle of the accessory deviates from the pin engaging member, and unexpected dropout of the accessory often occurs.

In order to prevent such an unintended departure phenomenon in a needle-stop type product, various improvement measures have been attempted in the past. For example, a detachment phenomenon between a needle-like decorative body and a pin meshing body. However, a product having a plurality of needles projecting from the ornamental body side for the purpose of preventing the rotating action due to the rotating action of these two members (JP-A-62-240003). Official Gazette, Shokai 49-
131005), has been proposed. However, since these products are composed of a plurality of needles, they can significantly impair the aesthetic appearance of a decorative product, and make it difficult to attach and detach a tie, clothes, and the like. Further, there are practical problems such as a complicated operation mechanism in the pin engagement body for simultaneously attaching and detaching a plurality of needles.

Further, in order to improve the above-mentioned problems, needles to be implanted on the decorative body side are concentrated in a small area to eliminate aesthetic defects, and the number of needles installed on the pin engagement body side is reduced. A product in which the same number of operation pieces are independently formed, the needle of the decorative body is engaged with the plurality of operation pieces, and the detachable operation can be performed via the operation pieces (Japanese Patent Publication No. HEI-5-5).
340001) has been proposed.

[0007] In addition, in a normal needle-stop type product in which one needle is protruded, by combining a plurality of tack pins with one luxurious pedestal, it can be changed into accessories according to clothes and ties. (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-20886), and the accessory is composed of two blocks, and a pin catch is attached to the back surface of one of the blocks by a support so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. Place the locking body between the hollow body of the catch and the shooting part of the stator, attach the pin to the other block and apply the design to the outside of both blocks or attach to the designed accessory Product (actual 6-1)
No. 3518), and the like.

As described above, conventionally, various products have been developed from a variety of viewpoints with respect to a needle stop type product, but all of them have a complicated structure of a pin engagement body (pin catch), Since the number of parts is large, it takes time and effort to manufacture, and in use, the needle (pin) is pin-engaged (pin) during use, despite the complicated mechanism of locking the needle (pin). (Catch, locking device) cannot be prevented. In the art, there is no such problem, and the accessory can be locked stably and securely. There has been a strong demand for the development of a new type of product that can easily perform the attachment / detachment operation.

[0009]

In view of such a situation, the present inventors have made it possible to easily carry out the attaching / detaching operation at the time of use in a needle-stop type product in view of the above prior art. The structure of the pin engagement body (locking device) is not mechanically complicated, and it is possible to reduce the number of parts, to save labor and cost, and to make the entire device thin button-like. As a result of intensive research with the aim of developing a new type of product that can be made more compact, the operation piece for performing the detaching operation with the spring member as a pin engagement member in the pin engagement body is integrated. The present invention was completed by developing a specific meshing member (intermediate member) formed to make the locking mechanism non-complicated and to make the entire device compact to a button-like thin body. .
