Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention is a reuse joint means for neck protection, especially, a joint means of neck safety can firmly protect user's life and be continuously reused.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Present office workers, officials, etc. are usually wearing neat and tidy cloths and ties for appearance courtesy. As shown in FIG. 1, which is a scheme of applying state of prior art, a

general tie

1 a is circled a loop 10 a around a human being neck, and then putting a knot between the tie 1 a and the loop 10 a to finish a whole procedure; a tiepin (not shown in figure) can be applied to clip a cloth with the tie 1 a for avoiding that tie 1 a is clamped by drawer, door, window, rotating door, etc.

However, tie is one of inconvenient points for that a criminal is able to attack a policeman when the criminal struggling with the policeman. The reason is the criminal only pulls a tie on the policeman to make him hardly breath, criminal can easily escape or attack policeman to threaten his life.

On the other hand, office works should put IDs on their necks when work, and sometimes they may take elevators to go to some other floors, thus there are some possibilities that elevators' doors clamp the IDs causing dangers. People who work in factories may happen that the IDs are drawn into machines.

Further, nipples are always hung up on babies' necks. As we know, babies are usually curious for everything at home, and they may have any actions at any time, so lines or chains around babies' necks may hook any furniture to cause babies' accidents.

Based on the aforesaid issues, the present inventor of the patent has being studied and referred to practical experiences and theory for designing and effectively improving the prior arts.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The first object is to offer a reuse joint means for neck protection, which safety structure is immediately took off from neck when a chain or line around neck is pulled to firmly protect user's life.

The second object is to offer a reuse joint means for neck protection, which can be reused again and again and is not broken by once accident.

To approach above objects, the present invention is to offer a reuse joint means for neck protection, which comprises a loop body and a joint structure with female-male joining function; wherein two ends of the loop body are individually set a female connector and a male connector to convenient user wearing. If an amount of a pull force is greater than a pre-designed safety value, a join of the female connector and the male connector is separated to be off a neck, thus, the aforesaid objects are then achieved.

The appended drawings will provide further illustration of the present invention, together with description; serve to explain the principles of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Please refer to FIGS. 2 and 3, which are a scheme of a first embodiment applying to a tie of the present invention and a perspective view of the first embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is to offer a reuse joint means for neck protection, which comprises a [0023] loop body 1 and a joint device 2 with female-male joining function; wherein the loop body 1 is to hang up on a neck of human being with a tie 10 or an ID, a nipple (not shown in figure); two ends of the loop body 1, male end 11 and female end 12 combine each other to form the joint structure 2.
The [0024] joint structure 2 is a felting 20, which consists of a hooking layer 200 (male) and a burr layer 201 (female); the two layers are designed on the two ends of loop body 1, male end 11 and female end 12, and an adhering of male end 11 and female end 12 to complete a whole loop is via a join of the hooking layer 200 and the burr layer 201.
According to aforesaid structure, when the present invention is applied to [0025] tie 10, ID, nipple, etc., the felting 20 can be separated by a pulling force, which means the two ends of loop body 1, male end 11 and female end 12, are separated as well, thus user's life can be protected; besides, the felting 20 is with a feature of reduplication, loop body 1 is then reused again and again, not limited by once accident.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, which are a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention and a sectional view of the second embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, a combination of the [0026] joint structure 2 is via fastening, and also connecting two ends of loop body 1. The join structure 2 consists of a fastening base 21 and a fastening piece 22, which are located on two ends of loop body 1, and two pins 210, 220 are placed on each rear end of the fastening base 21 and the fastening piece 22 for connecting fastening base 21, fastening piece 22 and loop body 1 (as shown in FIG. 4). When two pins 210 and 220 going through two ends 11 and 12, two folding lines 13 and 14 can be sewed up for positioning two pins 210 and 220.
Fastening [0027] base 21 is an arc figure from top view and a “⊃” figure from front view, thus it accepts fastening piece 22, which is positioned in an indentation 211; a fastening hole 212 is designed on top of the indentation 211 for matching with fastening piece 22.
Fastening [0028] piece 22 is also an arc figure from top view, and a fastening button 221 is set inside fastening piece 22 to cooperate with the fastening hole 212. A rear of fastening button 221 is a protruding fastening part 222, which outer rim is a rounded angle 223, thus, when fastening base 21 and fastening piece 22 matching each other and loop body 1 being pulled by a force greater than a designed safety value, fastening hole 212 is taken off from fastening piece 22 because of the round angle 223 of fastening button 221.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, which are a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention and a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, two front ends of [0029] fastening base 21 and fastening piece 22 of joint structure 2 are both square from top view and individually have fastening hole 212 and fastening button 221; indentation 211 is also set on fastening base 21 for fastening piece 22 inserting and positioning. As shown in FIG. 6, two rear ends of fastening base 21 and fastening piece 22 have two infixing pieces 213 and 224, further, inside two ends 11 and 12 of loop body 1 have two slots 214 and 215 to position two infixing pieces 213 and 224; as shown in FIG. 7, two slots 214 and 225 are individually designed on two rear ends of fastening base 21 and fastening piece 22 for two ends 12 and 11 inserting and fixing. This is to offer different types of organizations for loop body 1 and join structure 2.
Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, which are a perspective view of a fifth embodiment of the present invention and a perspective view of a sixth embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, two sides of [0030] fastening base 21 have two fastening holes 212, and two sides of fastening piece 22 have two fastening buttons 221 relative to fastening holes 212. Therefore, two fingers pressing on two fastening buttons 221 can release joint structure 2.
Referring to FIG. 10, which is a perspective view of a seventh embodiment of the present invention. The [0031] male end 11 can be connected with the female end 12 by the joint device 2 in active link method. The joint device 2 includes a projection 23 and a through hole 24. The through hole 24 can be linked with the projection 23 so that the male end 11 can be connected with the female end 12. When the loop body 1 is pulled, the projection 23 can be bent deformation so as to be separated from the through hole 24 due to flexibility of the projection 23. According above mention, the male end 11 can be separated from the female end 12 easily so user's life can be protected.
While the present invention has been shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, and in terms of the illustrative drawings, it should be not considered as limited thereby. Thus, the present invention is infinitely used. However, various possible modification, omission, and alterations could be conceived of by one skilled in the art to the form and the content of any particular embodiment, without departing from the scope and the sprit of the present invention. [0032]
The invention is disclosed and is intended to be limited only the scope of the appended claims and its equivalent area. [0033]
