Description

  The present invention relates to a connector. This connector can be used when an inclusion such as a belt or tape is detachably attached to an attachment object, and can be used in a wide range of fields such as clothes and bags.

For example, a bag having both a shoulder belt and a handle needs to be removed when the shoulder belt is not used. In some cases, it may be desirable to remove only the handle of the bag and replace it with another handle. In such a case, in order to detachably attach the belt or handle to the bag, a plug-in type buckle made up of a pair of male and female members is often used (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).
JP 2003-320 A

  In the above prior art, the male and female buckle members are positioned at the ends of the belt, respectively, and connect the belt ends. In normal cases, there is no problem with this, but for example, if it is attached to the attachment object at the middle part of the belt, an unexpected product can be obtained.

  An object of this invention is to provide the coupling tool attached to an attachment target object from any position of inclusions, such as a belt and tapes.

The connector of the present invention is a connector that is inserted and fixed through a through-hole of an inclusion, and includes a front side member and a back side member, and the front side member is a surface portion and a first protruding backward from the surface portion. The first engaging portion includes a base portion and a rotating portion provided at a tip of the base portion, and the rotating portion has a long hole provided eccentrically and has a tip end of the base portion. , The back side member has a second engagement portion, and the second engagement portion includes the front second engagement portion and the rear tape joint portion, The second engagement portion has an engagement hole that engages with the first engagement portion.

  The conventional connector is attached to the end of an inclusion such as a belt. However, according to the connector of the present invention, since the through hole of the inclusion is inserted and fixed, it can be attached at any position. Thereby, the application range as a connection tool was expanded remarkably.

  In addition, the connecting method is only to insert the through hole of the inclusion and fix the pair of front and back members, and there is no need for a special instrument, and it is not necessary to use sharp projections or needles. It is.

  An incidental effect of the present invention is that a decorative function can be provided as necessary.

  In the following examples, the inclusions are exemplified by belts and tapes, but the inclusions can also be used for attaching decorative items to other general clothes and bags.

  Therefore, it is preferable that the surface portion of the front side member is a decorative surface. Since this can improve the appearance, it can be attached to a conspicuous position on the clothes. For example, it can be used for attaching a cuff button on a sleeve, a badge on a folded collar, a trademark on a bag surface, or a sign.

  As a turning mechanism of the turning part, for example, the base end has a U-shaped groove, and the walls of the groove are connected by a pin, and the turning part has the U-shaped groove. It has a thickness that fits and can be rotated about the pin.

  Preferably, the base portion incorporates an elastic body, the tip of the elastic body is biased to the side opposite to the surface portion, and the amount of movement is restricted by the retaining of the wall of the groove. Shall. As the elastic body, for example, a spring can be used.

  You may provide the hollow which can engage with the front-end | tip of the said elastic body in the side part of the said rotation part. This is because the rotational position can be fixed by the engagement between the two.

  For example, the rotating member may rotate from a position perpendicular to the inclusion to a parallel position, and then move up and down along the elongated hole.

  The back side member can be easily joined to a belt or tape by providing a tape joining portion behind the second engaging portion.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a handbag 2 using a connector 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the connector 1 in FIG. As is apparent from these drawings, the connector 1 is composed of two parts, a front side member 4 and a back side member 5 that sandwich the belt 3.

  3A is a front view, FIG. 3B is a rear view, FIG. 3C is a side view, FIG. 3D is a plan view, and FIG. 3E is a cross-sectional view.

  The front side member 4 includes a surface decoration portion 6 and a first engagement portion 7 protruding rearward from the surface decoration portion 6.

  Although the surface decoration part 6 is a plane board which plays the role of a stopper, since it appears outside, it is preferable that it is decorated.

  The first engaging portion 7 includes a base portion 71 and a rotating portion 72 provided at the tip of the base portion.

  As shown in FIG.3 (e), the base 71 is hollow inside and the compression spring 73 is incorporated in the hollow part. The tip of the base 71 has a U-shaped groove 74, and the groove walls are connected by a pin 75. The tip 76 of the spring 73 is urged in the coupling direction, but the amount of movement is restricted by a groove wall retaining member 77.

  The rotating part 72 is an elliptical plate, has a thickness that fits into the U-shaped groove, and is provided with a long hole 78 in the center. The pin 75 is inserted into the long hole 78 and can be rotated around the pin 75 as described later. The rotating portion 72 is biased in the coupling direction under the force of the spring 73. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), a small recess 79 is provided on the side of the elliptical plate of the rotating portion 72 for the purpose described later.

  4A is a front view, FIG. 4B is a rear view, FIG. 4C is a right side view, FIG. 4D is a left side view, FIG. 4E is a bottom view, and FIG. g) YY sectional view.

  The back side member 5 includes a second engagement portion 51 in the front half and a tape joint portion 52 in the latter half.

  The second engagement portion 51 is a flat plate in which the engagement hole 53 is simply provided. The whole is almost triangular, but this is design and has no technical meaning.

  The tape joint 52 is the subject of another patent application and will not be described in detail here. In short, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the tape 8 is fixed to the tape joint 52.

  Before connecting the front side member 4 and the back side member 5 with the belt 3 in between, it is necessary to provide a through hole 31 in the belt 3 in advance as shown in FIG. The through-hole 31 allows the passage of the engagement portion 7 of the front side member 4 but does not allow the passage of the surface decoration portion 6.

  In order to connect the front side member 4 and the back side member 5, as shown in FIG. 2, the engaging portion 7 of the front side member 4 is inserted into the through hole 31 of the belt and further passes through the engaging hole 53 of the back side member 5. Let This state is also shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the rotating member 72 of the engaging portion 7 is rotated (FIG. 5B), and the rotating member 72 is made parallel to the belt 3 (FIG. 5C). Thereafter, when the rotating member 72 is pushed down, the long hole 78 is lowered and the pin 75 is relatively raised. At this time, since the recess 79 of the rotating member 72 and the spring tip 76 are engaged, the position is stable. In this state, the lock is completed, and the tape 8 of the handbag 2 and the belt 3 are connected. To release the lock, reverse the above procedure.

It is a perspective view of the handbag which uses the coupling tool which is one Example of this invention. It is an expansion perspective view of the coupling tool in FIG. It is (1) front view, (2) rear view, (3) side view, (4) plan view, and (5) cross-sectional view of the front side member. (A) Front view, (b) Rear view, (c) Right side view, (d) Left side view, (e) Bottom view, (f) XX sectional view, (g) YY It is sectional drawing. (A)-(d) is sectional drawing which shows each step | level of the connection method of a front and back member.
