third contact portions

110, 120, 130 is movable toward or away from the axis AX in a plane perpendicular to the axis AX. In FIG. 4, the first to

third contact portions

110, 120, and 130 moved toward the axis AX respectively contact the slider 10, and the slider 10 is held by the first to

third contact portions

110, 120, and 130. It is a schematic diagram which shows the state. A plurality of individual features are disclosed in FIGS. 1-4, each of which is understood to be independent of the other features. Each feature is understood as an independent feature that is also applicable to other embodiments not shown.

The holder 100 according to the present disclosure has a plurality of

contact portions

110, 120, 130, 140 configured to be moved toward the axis AX and to contact the slider 10 on the axis AX. The axis AX can mean an axis at any position around which the plurality of

contact portions

110, 120, 130 are disposed. In some cases, the axis AX coincides with the vertical direction. In some cases, the axis AX coincides with the horizontal direction orthogonal to the vertical direction.

The holder 100 can have two or more contact portions as a plurality of contact portions. As can be seen from FIG. 1, in some cases, the holder 100 has three or four contacts. For convenience of description, the four contact portions are hereinafter referred to as a first contact portion 110, a second contact portion 120, a third contact portion 130, and a fourth contact portion 140. In addition, it is also assumed that a 5th contact part and a 6th contact part are used as a several contact part. Furthermore, a form is also conceivable in which at least one or more of the first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, the third contact portion 130, and the fourth contact portion 140 are omitted. In light of the combination logic, various combinations of contacts will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and thus listing all solutions of the combination will be omitted.

A plurality of contact parts, for example, the first contact part 110, the second contact part 120, the third contact part 130, and the fourth contact part 140 are moved toward the axis AX to contact the slider 10 on the axis AX Configured A combination of a plurality of contact portions, for example, the combination of the first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, and the third contact portion 130, and optionally, the fourth contact portion 140 additionally contacts the slider 10 to contact the slider 10 is held stable. In some embodiments, including the illustrated example, the first contact portion 110 may be attached to the separation post 40 of the slider 10 in a manner that allows movement of the fastener element 83 through the first front opening 11 and the second front opening 12 respectively. Contact. Thereby, the slider 10 can be held more stably by the holder 100. In some cases, as shown in FIG. 6, the first contact portion 110 of the holder 100 contacts the separation column 40 of the slider 10 and at least one of the

vanes

20, 30, and the slider 10 on the vertically lower side Can be stably held by the holder 100. As described above, the number of contact portions provided on the holder 100 is not limited to four, and two or three cases are also conceivable. Accordingly, it is understood that the following description regarding the four contact portions is also applicable to various forms in which the number of the contact portions other than four is adopted.

The first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, the third contact portion 130, and the fourth contact portion 140 are movable toward or away from the axis AX in a plane perpendicular to the axis AX . The holding position of the slider 10 on the holder 100 can be promoted to a fixed position. The first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, the third contact portion 130, and the fourth contact portion 140 may be disposed in the same plane orthogonal to the axis AX.

The first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, the third contact portion 130, and the fourth contact portion 140 move linearly toward or away from the axis AX in a plane perpendicular to the axis AX It is possible. The holding position of the slider 10 on the holder 100 can be promoted to a fixed position.

The axis AX can also be referred to as an axis with respect to the first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, and the third contact portion 130. In some cases, the plurality of contacts, eg, the first 110, the second 120, and the third 130 contacts may be spaced at constant angular intervals on the same imaginary circle IC centered on the axis. In some cases, including the illustrated example, they are arranged at angular intervals of 120 °. The first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, and the third contact portion 130 may move individually or together or synchronously toward or away from the axis in the radial direction of the imaginary circle IC.

There are various modes in which the plurality of contact portions are provided in the holder 100. FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional schematic view showing an aspect in which the first to

third contact portions

110, 120, 130 are mounted on the cylindrical portion 150 of the holder 100. As can be seen from reference to FIGS. 1 and 7, in some cases, the holder 100 is mounted on the cylindrical portion 150, the slide portion 170 fitted in the guide groove 151 of the cylindrical portion 150, and the slide portion 170. And a mounting portion 160. The guide groove 151 may be a groove having a convex cross section extending in the radial direction of the cylindrical portion 150. The slide portion 170 is inserted and fitted in the guide groove 151 and can move in the guide groove 151 in the radial direction. The mounting portion 160 is a part integral with or separate from the slide portion 170, and the first to

third contact portions

110, 120, 130 described above are separately mounted. The first to

third contact portions

110, 120, and 130 are individually attached to the attachment portion 160, and are movable in the radial direction of the cylindrical portion 150 on the cylindrical portion 150. In some cases, the above-mentioned axis AX coincides with the center line of the cylindrical portion 150. Thus, in some cases, the first to

third contact portions

110, 120, 130 are movably mounted relative to the base member illustrated in the cylindrical portion 150, optionally along the axis AX from the base member It is implemented in such a manner that withdrawal along the road is regulated.

As understood from the reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the first contact portion 110 has a post 113 that contacts the front end 41 of the separation post 40 of the slider 10. The column portion 113 is configured to allow movement of the fastener element 83 from the inside of the slider 10 to the outside of the slider via the first front opening 11 and the second front opening 12, that is, movement of the fastener element 83 is hindered The first front opening 11 and the second front opening 12 are not blocked as much as possible. In some cases, the column portion 113 has a width W113 orthogonal to the direction in which the axis AX extends and the linear movement direction of the first contact portion 110. In some cases, the pair of side surfaces 113 d defining the lateral width W 113 of the column portion 113 functions as a guide surface for guiding the movement of the fastener element 83.

The first contact portion 110 or post 113 may, in some cases, have a first groove 111 that receives the front end 41 of the separation post 40 of the slider 10. Additionally or alternatively, the first contact portion 110 has a second groove 112 that receives the front end 31 of the vane 30 of the slider 10. Additionally or alternatively, the first contact portion 110 may have an arcuate surface 115 shaped to fit on the front side 31 a of the front end 31 of the vane 30 of the slider 10. Good contact is ensured between the first contact portion 110 and the separating column 40 of the slider 10, and the stability of holding the slider 10 in the holder 100 is enhanced. The first groove 111 may have a U-shaped surface 111 f shaped to fit the contour of the front end 41 of the separating column 40.

Naturally, it is also conceivable that the second groove 112 of the first contact portion 110 receives the front end 21 of the vane 20 of the slider 10. Similarly, it is of course also envisaged that the arcuate surface 115 of the first contact portion 110 is shaped to fit on the front side 21 a of the front end 21 of the vane 20 of the slider 10.

When the first groove 111 is provided in the first contact portion 110, the first contact portion 110 may have a pair of protrusions 111g extending toward the axis AX to define the recess of the first groove 111. In some cases, sloped

surfaces

116 and 117 are formed on at least one or both of the protrusions 111 g to avoid or reduce interference between the protrusions 111 g and the

vanes

20 and 30. In some cases, including the illustrated example, each protrusion 111 g may have an interference with the lower blade 30 and an inclined surface 116 (which may be called an upper inclined surface) for avoiding or reducing the interference with the upper blade 20. An inclined surface 117 (which may be called a lower inclined surface) is formed to avoid or reduce the

The second and

third contact portions

120 and 130 described above contact the slider 10 in such a manner as to allow the movement of the fastener element 83 in the coupled state through the rear opening 13 of the slider 10. The second and

third contact portions

120 and 130 have first contact surfaces 121 and 131 shaped to fit the side surface of the vane 30 of the slider 10 or the side surface of the flange portion 51. The second and

third contact portions

120 and 130 have second contact surfaces 122 and 132 in contact with the rear end surface 32 a of the vane 30 of the slider 10. Thereby, sufficient contact between the second contact portion 120 and the slider 10 and / or between the third contact portion 130 and the slider 10 is secured, and stable holding of the slider 10 in the holder 100 is promoted. It is also naturally expected that the first contact surfaces 121, 131 may be shaped to fit the side surface of the vane 20 of the slider 10 or the side surface of the flange portion 61. Naturally, it is also expected that the second contact surfaces 122 and 132 contact the rear end surface 22 a of the vane 20 of the slider 10. In some cases, the first contact surface is provided so as not to interfere with the fastener tape 82 passing through the slit between the flange portions 61 and 62 of the upper wing plate 20 and the

flange portions

51 and 52 of the lower wing plate 30. Be In addition, the second contact surface is provided so as not to interfere with the fastener element 83 in the coupled state, which is moved through the rear opening 13 of the slider 10.

In some cases, the second contact portion 120 has a concave surface 123 between the first contact surface 121 and the second contact surface 122 and is caused by the rear end 32 of the vane 30 and the rear end of the flange 52 Contact with the corners is more reliably avoided. Therefore, both the contact of the first contact surface 121 and the side surface of the vane 30 or the side surface of the flange portion 51 and the contact of the second contact surface 122 and the rear end face 32 a of the vane 30 are achieved more reliably. As an additional alternative, similarly for the third contact portion 130, a concave surface 133 is formed between the first contact surface 131 and the second contact surface 132 to obtain similar benefits.

Although not necessarily limited to this, in some cases, the first contact portion 110, the second contact portion 120, and the third contact portion 130 are flat surfaces 119 in contact with the upper surface or the lower surface of the

vanes

20, 30 of the slider 10. , 129, 139. The

flat surfaces
