Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field in which it is used] This invention relates to a clip for holding clothespins and other items.In particular, it can be used alone or when attached to a clothes hanger. It concerns the clips that can be used.

[Prior art and problems]

A patent application was published in 1984 for this type of clip.
It is known from Patent Publication No. 500456 and Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-39589, both of which allow the clip to be used independently or attached to a rope, a round bar for hanging clothes, etc. However, during these operations, the spring member that applies the clamping pressure must be removed and the clip must be disassembled to be able to be installed and removed. , a separate pivot with a size equivalent to the width of the clip is required.

In short, when changing from one usage state to another, the spring member must be removed once.

Therefore, once it is attached to the round bar of the horizontal frame of the kimono hanger, it is used as is, and it is almost never rearranged and used according to the needs of the customer.

In addition, in order to attach pants and skirts to the round rod of a kimono hanger and to hold them together with the round rod, the upper ends of these pants and skirts are thick; It was difficult with clips. Also, each time you pinch something, the clip separates from the clothes hanger or pants/skirt hanger.

[Problem to be solved]

This idea allows clip A to be used as a hanger for clothes, pants, etc.
There is no need to disassemble each clip when attaching or removing the clip to a skirt hanger, and it does not come off accidentally after being attached to a clothes hanger, pants, or skirt hanger, and even when used independently as a clip. , it can be removed and used as is, and can be used without using a separate pivot, as in the above-mentioned known example, Utility Model Application No. 57-39589.

[Means for solving problems]

In this device, each of the pair of clamping pieces has a protrusion projecting toward the other member and a recess that engages with the protrusion of the other member on the inner surface of the central part of each of the pair of clamping pieces. A common spring member is provided with a rotation center formed by the rotation center, which is closer to the gripping portion that clamps the object than the rotation center, and which forms a pressing force point on the outer surface of each of the pair of clamping pieces. In the provided clip, a. Each of the protrusions is made up of a pair of upright wall plates parallel to the direction of both side edges of the clip, and the recesses are provided adjacent to these upright wall plates, and these recesses correspond to the areas where the protrusions come into contact. A concave arc receiving part that can be engaged and slid from the gripping part of the clamping piece toward the finger gripping part at the opposite end.

b. At the foot of the upstanding wall plate forming the protrusions of each of the pair of clamping pieces, on the side of the pressure contact point, a radius of curvature that exactly corresponds to the radius of the horizontal bar of the garment hanger and skirt hanger shall be formed. A pair of round bar holding concave arc portions shall be provided for each.

c) When the round bar-embracing concave arc portion is embraced by the cross bar, the cross bar becomes the second rotation center, the pair of clamping pieces rotate, and the pair of gripping portions are pressed together and separated from each other.

d The gripping recessed arc portion of the pair of clamping pieces when the gripping parts and the finger gripping parts at the opposite ends of the pair of clamping pieces are brought into contact with each other against the restoring force of the spring member and the gripping parts are fully opened. The problem was solved by making the spacing between the near ends of the gripping portions slightly narrower than the diameter of the horizontal round bar, and by making the above features a to d.

[Embodiment]

The invention will now be explained based on the illustrated representative embodiment.

In the figure, numerals 10 and 11 are a pair of clamping pieces in the clip A, and as shown in FIG.
With the inside sides facing each other, each clamping piece 10,1
2 installed by penetrating the long holes 26 and 27 provided in 1.
A ring-shaped common spring member 30 that spans between the two clamping pieces 10 and 11 allows the clamping pieces 10 and 11 to be held together.
The gripping portions 14 and 15 for gripping an object are formed so as to be in pressure contact with each other.

The structure of the clamping pieces 10 and 11 will be explained in more detail.

That is, the inner surfaces 12, 13 of each clamping piece 10, 11
are provided with tall protrusions 16 and 17, which are made of a pair of wall plates attached to both sides of the clamping piece, at half their lengths, that is, at the center, and the pair of protrusions 16 and 17 are mutually connected. The gripping pieces 10 and 11 are provided so as to be offset in the width direction of the holding pieces 10 and 11 by an amount corresponding to the thickness of the wall plate at a position where the holding pieces 10 and 11 do not collide with the other protrusion. Adjacent to the side surfaces of these protrusions 16 and 17 are concave arc receiving parts 20 and 2, which are recesses in which the tips 18 and 19 of the protrusions 16 and 17 of the other member engage.
1 is provided, and these concave arc receiving parts 20, 21 are provided with the tip part 18 or 1 of the projection 16 or 17 of the other party.
9 engage with each other, and the gripping pieces 10 and 11 have a shape that allows them to slide in the length direction.

The pair of clamping pieces 10 and 11 engage with each other,
When held by the ring-shaped spring member 30, the first rotation center _P1 is located exactly between the tips 18 and 19 of the projections 16, 17, and the ring-shaped spring member 30 Pressure contact force points 31 and 32, which are engagement positions where both ends of the member 30 engage with the recesses 28 and 29 of the clamping pieces 10 and 11, are located at the first rotation center.
The position is quite far away from P ₁ and somewhat close to the gripping parts 14 and 15.

Reference numerals 24 and 25 are part of the wall plate constituting the projections 16 and 17, and are round bar holding concave arc portions provided at the bases of the projections 16 and 17, respectively.
The protrusions 16, 17 are located on the pressure contact points 31, 32 side, and the radius of curvature is exactly the same as the radius of the horizontal round bar _B1 of synthetic resin clothing hangers, pants/skirt hangers, etc. This dimension is usually 4 to 5 mm.

Resisting the restoring force of the spring member 30, the clip A is brought into contact with the finger grips 22, 23 of the pair of gripping pieces 10, 11 on the opposite side from the grips 14, 15 that grip the object, When the gripping parts 14 and 15 are opened to the maximum extent, the distance d between the round bar holding concave arc parts 24 and 25 of the pair of clamping pieces 10 and 11 near the gripping parts 14 and 15 is equal to the distance between the gripping parts 14 and 15. Diameter D of round bar B ₁ such as B
In the example, D−d=
It is approximately 0.5 to 2 mm.

Further, the pressing force points 31 and 32 of the spring member 30 are located closer to the gripping portions 14 and 15 than the ends of the round bar holding concave arc portions 24 and 25 closer to the gripping portions.

In addition, the dimensions of the drawings attached to the application are as shown in Figures 1 to 7.
In the figure, the figure is enlarged approximately 2.5 times.

[How to use and action]

In this invention, as shown in the exploded drawing of FIG. 5, three members consisting of a pair of clamping pieces 10 and 11 and a spring member 30 are assembled as shown in FIG. When A is used alone, it is used in exactly the same way as a conventionally known clip.

In order to attach the clip A of this invention to the horizontal bar B ₁ of the clothes hanger B, etc., the finger holding parts 22 and 23 of each of the holding pieces 10 and 11 are moved toward each other against the restoring force of the spring member 30. And a pair of clamping pieces 1 of this invention
0 and 11 rotate about the first rotation center _P1 , and the gripping parts 14 and 15 move away from each other.

At this time, the distance d between the clamping parts of the round bar holding concave arc surfaces 24 and 25 of the pair of clamping pieces 10 and 11 is
They are separated to a dimension slightly narrower than the diameter D of _B1 . Therefore, in order to attach this clip to _the round bar _B1 , as shown in FIG. If you push it in, a pair of clamping pieces 1 will be released.
0 and 11 are the rear round bar holding concave arc surfaces 2 that have expanded slightly to the position indicated by the chain line against the restoring force of the spring member 30.
4 and 25 hold the round bar _B1 .

When the force of the fingers applied to the finger holding parts 22 and 23 is removed, the pair of holding pieces 10 and 11 release the spring member 3.
The gripping portions 14 and 15 are rotated about the second rotational center P ₂ by a restoring force of 0, and the gripping portions 14 and 15 are pressed against each other.

At this time, the tip 1 of each protrusion 16, 17
8 and 19 are separated from the concave arch receiving portions 20 and 21 of the other party, but the tips 18 and 19 are dimensioned to be slightly lapped.

Thereafter, while the clip A is attached to the round bar _B1 , the center of rotation of the holding pieces 10 and 11 as the clip A is opened and closed becomes the second rotation center _P2 .

〔effect〕

In this way, in the clip A of this invention, the clip A is attached to the round bar B ₁ in the assembled state.
On the other hand, when it is removable and engaged with round bar _B1 ,
In this clip A, the round bar holding concave arc surfaces 24 and 25 of the clamping pieces 10 and 11 slide in the circumferential direction along the circumferential surface of the round bar B ₁ , that is, the round bar B ₁ is The handles 14 and 15 can be opened and closed by rotating around the center of rotation _P2 , and can be used in the same way as the conventional clothing hanger B for hanging pants or skirts with a clip A. It is possible, and even when opening and closing at this time,
Clip A does not come off the round bar B ₁ such as kimono kake B.

In addition, the clip A of this invention can be slid in the axial direction of _{the first} part of the round bar B and used in that position according to the width of the pants or skirt. At this time as well, the clip A holds the round bar _B1 with an appropriate binding force and does not move in the axial direction of the round bar _B1 . In addition, it is a type of clip used by clip manufacturers, and can be used alone or for attaching a clothes hanger, and is easy to assemble.

[Effects of embodiment]

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the height of each protrusion 16, 17 is determined by connecting this clip A to a round bar B ₁
Even when they are engaged, the dimensions are such that they overlap slightly with each other, so clip A is attached to round bar B ₁ .
Even when the pair of clamping pieces 10,
11 do not move separately in the axial direction of the round bar _B1 , and therefore there is no risk of disassembly.

In an embodiment in which the pair of clamping pieces 10 and 11 are formed in exactly the same shape as shown in FIG. Only one type of mold is required, which improves assembly workability and reduces manufacturing costs.

Further, the spring member 30 is made of a metal round bar, a plate spring,
There are no particular restrictions on hard elastic synthetic resin molded products,
The side shape may also be similar to known shapes such as a ring shape, a horseshoe shape, or a U-shape.
