Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a napkin holder.

Traditionally, napkins are used by placing them on your lap or inserting them into the collar of your clothes.

However, placing a napkin on your lap has the disadvantage that it may fall off when you move, or it may not protect the collar of your clothes and may stain your clothes.

In addition, if the napkin is inserted into the collar of the garment, the napkin will hang thin and cannot adequately cover the front of the garment.

In order to improve this, a napkin holder has been proposed in which a chain is hung around the neck of the person eating and drinking in an inverted U shape, clamping devices are attached to each end of the chain, and these clamping devices are used to pinch the top edge of the napkin and hang it. has been done.

However, in this structure, the upper ends of the napkin are only suspended by the clamps, so the upper part of the napkin sag in a U-shape.
As expected, there was a drawback that the front of the garment could not be sufficiently covered.

Furthermore, hanging the napkin with a clamping device has the disadvantage that if the napkin is thin or if the clamping device becomes fatigued due to repeated use, the napkin cannot be sufficiently clamped and may fall off. Ta.

In addition, a pair of upward mounting parts and a pair of downwardly expanding spring bars are provided at both ends of the horizontally oriented board, and both the mounting parts are hung on waste from people eating and drinking, and both spring bars are attached to the top of the napkin. A napkin holder has also been proposed in which a napkin is supported by being inserted into bag-shaped portions provided at both ends.

However, this structure has the drawback that a pair of bag-shaped parts must be specially formed at both ends of the upper part of the napkin, and only specially made napkins can be used.

In addition, with this structure, a pair of spring bars that open at the end must be inserted into the pouch-shaped parts on both sides of the upper part of the napkin, resisting the opening of these spring bars, making it very difficult to attach the napkin. It has the disadvantage of being troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a napkin holder that can sufficiently cover the front of clothes, does not require a special napkin, and is easy to attach and detach.

Hereinafter, specific examples of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.
