BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 4, the waist adjuster of this embodiment allows the length around the waist of the pants to be adjusted, and is fixed to one adjustment portion on the lateral outer surface of the waist portion 12 of the pants 10. Guide tape 14 which is a guide member made of resin such as nylon
And a slider 20 fixed at the other end of the waist portion 12 at a position overlapping the position where the guide tape 12 is attached. The guide tape 14 is provided with adjusting protrusions 16 for adjusting the waist length along the longitudinal direction in parallel with two rows at predetermined intervals. Adjusting protrusion 16
Further, a convex mountain-shaped slope 18 is formed on each end face of the guide tape 14 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Further, the outer surface of the guide tape 14 is covered with the outer cloth 19 of the waist portion 12 of the pants 10 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.

The slider 20 is composed of an operating piece 22 for adjusting the waist length, and a slider body 24 which accommodates the operating piece 22 and into which the guide tape 14 is inserted.
The operation piece 22 and the slider body 24 are integrally formed of resin. The operation piece 22 is formed with a locking projection 26 that engages with the adjustment projection 16 on the surface of the guide tape 14, and is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guide tape 14 inserted into the slider body 24. 22 is provided slidably. A convex mountain-shaped slope 27 is formed on the end surface of the locking projection 26 that is opposite to the slope 18 of the adjustment projection 16 of the guide tape 14.

The slider body 24 of the slider 20 is formed in a hollow shape, and a pair of facing side surfaces are formed with through holes 28 through which the guide tape 14 is inserted, and a pair of end faces perpendicular to the through holes 28. A through hole 30 is formed through which both ends of the operation piece 22 can be inserted. One end of the operation piece 22 is provided as an operation part 32 so as to be capable of projecting and retracting in the slider body 24, and the other end 33 is provided on the inner surface of the through hole 30 on the lower side of the slider body 24 in FIG. The guide tubular portion 34 is fitted into the guide tubular portion 34. The operating piece 22 is formed at a height substantially equal to that of the slider body 24. As shown in FIG. 6, when the operating portion 32 is recessed in the slider body 24, the opposite end 33 of the operating piece 32 is It does not project from the other through hole 30 of the main body 24. Further, on both end surfaces of the operation piece 22, the operation portion 32 is provided.
A pair of engaging protrusions 35 are formed in the vicinity of the engaging protrusions 3.
5 is formed in a size that engages with a shoulder portion on the inner surface side of the through hole 30 on one side surface of the slider body 24. The engaging projection 35 may be formed on only one of the pair of side surfaces, and may be any one that can hold the projection of the operation piece 22 at a predetermined position.

A protrusion 38 is integrally formed in the vicinity of the operation portion 32 of the operation piece 22, and a winding spring 40 is attached to the protrusion 38. One end 41 of the wrapping spring 40 abuts on the back surface side of the operating portion 32, and the other end 43 is engaged with an engaging slope 42 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the slider body 24, and the engaging end of the tip thereof. 44 is elastically abutted. This wrapping spring 40 normally has both end portions 41 and 43 positioned at an angle shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 1, and the end of the wrapping spring 40 with the operation piece 22 attached to the slider body 24. Part 43
Is elastically deformed to the position shown by the broken line in FIG. 1 and elastically urges the operation piece 22 in a direction in which it is projected from the slider body 24.

To attach the waist adjuster of this embodiment, the slider body 24 is held and fixed to the waist portion 12 of the pants 10 by the attachment hook 50. At this time, the hook 50 is fixed to the metal fitting 52, and the metal fitting 52 is located on the surface side of the waist portion 12 so that the hook 50 has a good appearance and is not caught by other materials during use.

In the method of using the waist adjuster of this embodiment, first, the wrapping spring 40 is attached to the operation piece 22, and the operation piece 22 is attached to the slider body 24 to form the slider 20. At the time of mounting, the slant surface of the engaging projection 35 pushes the engaging projection 35 and the operation piece 22 against the peripheral edge of the through hole 30 and elastically deforms, and the engaging projection 35 passes through the through hole 30. The engagement protrusion 35 engages with the shoulder on the back surface side of the through hole 30. As a result, the operating piece 22 does not come off from the slider body 24, and the operating portion 32 is urged by the wrapping spring 40 so as to project.

Then, the slider 20 is fixed to the waist portion 12 of the pants 10 by the hook 50, and the guide tape 14 is inserted into the insertion hole 28 on the side surface of the slider 20. Then, both ends of the guide tape 14 are sewn and fixed to one adjusting portion on the outer surface of the waist portion 12 of the pants 10.

In this state, when adjusting the waist length,
When the operation portion 32 of the operation piece 22 is pressed and pushed into the slider body 24, the positions of the locking projection 26 of the operation piece 22 and the adjustment projection 16 of the guide tape 14 are alternated as shown in FIG. The slider 20 becomes movable in the longitudinal direction of the tape 14. Then, the waist length can be changed by relatively adjusting the positions of the slider 20 and the guide tape 14 while pressing the operation portion 32.

When it is desired to fix the waist length at that position, the pressing of the operating portion 32 is released and the operating piece 22 is projected by the urging force of the wrapping spring 40, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7. The adjusting projection 16 and the locking projection 26
And are engaged and the waist length is fixed at that position. Here, mountain-shaped slopes 18 and 27 are formed on the end surfaces of the adjustment projection 16 and the locking projection 26 facing each other, and when the operating piece 22 returns to the projecting position by the urging force of the winding spring 40, The locking projections 26 that hit the adjustment projections 16 are easily moved laterally to engage with each other.

The waist adjuster of the present invention is
The elastic member is not limited to the above embodiment, and the elastic member may be a leaf spring other than the winding spring, or may be integrally formed with the operating piece or the slider body, and the position of the elastic member such as the winding spring can be operated. In addition to the vicinity of the portion, the tip portion of the operation piece may be used and can be set appropriately.

[0018]

The waist adjuster of the present invention has a small number of parts, is easy to assemble, and can be easily and reliably adjusted in position. Particularly, the workability of assembly is improved by locating the elastic member in the vicinity of the operating portion. Further, by forming the slopes on the end faces of the adjusting protrusion and the locking protrusion that face each other, the selection of the adjusting position can be surely performed, and the adjusting protrusion can be accurately locked at the predetermined position.
