[0007] PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0008] It is desirable to promote miniaturization of a hanging tool that is not used for hanging a hanging object.

[0009] MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS

[0010] A hanging tool of one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a hook in which a hook base and a hook tip are disposed apart from each other in a manner that defines a hook opening, and a hook extension extends in a manner that forms a hook recess between the hook base and the hook tip, and a mounting member that has a main body for mounting a hanging object, and a linking portion that is linked to the main body for engagement with the hook base. A turning portion is provided in one of the hook base and the linking portion, and a housing portion for housing the turning portion is provided in the other of the hook base and the linking portion. The mounting member and the hook are relatively rotatably engaged by housing and holding the turning portion with the housing portion. The hook base and the linking portion are configured such that when either of the hook and the mounting member is turned relative to the other in a state in which the hook and the mounting member are disposed in the same plane so that the mounting member is turned to a position adjacent to the hook tip, (i) the mounting member is able to cross an imaginary line set at a position corresponding to a maximum opening width of the hook opening, or (ii) the mounting member is able to cross an imaginary line set at a position corresponding to a minimum opening width of the hook opening.

[0011] In several embodiments, if a first imaginary line from the hook base toward the bottom of the hook recess is assumed to be represented by a synthesis of a first vector extending in the depth direction of the hook recess and a second vector extending orthogonally to the first vector from the front end of the first vector to the bottom of the hook recess, a second imaginary line parallel to the first vector and a third imaginary line are set to be spaced apart by the hook base and the hook front end portion, the second imaginary line is set to be associated with the hook base, and the third imaginary line is set to be associated with the hook front end portion, then during the entire process in which either of the hook and the mounting member is rotated relative to the other so that the mounting member is rotated to a position adjacent to the hook front end portion in a state in which the hook and the mounting member are disposed on the same plane, the mounting member does not cross the third imaginary line.

[0012] The housing portion can have a groove for movement of a shaft portion on which the rotation portion is fixed at the front end portion. The main body portion of the mounting member can include a rod portion, a first arc-shaped portion extending in an arc shape from a first end portion of the rod portion toward the connection portion, and a second arc-shaped portion extending in an arc shape from a second end portion of the rod portion toward the connection portion.

[0013] In several embodiments, the length of the groove is set so that, when either of the hook and the mounting member is rotated relative to the other so that the mounting member is rotated to a position adjacent to the hook front end portion in a state in which the hook and the mounting member are disposed on the same plane, (a) the mounting member can cross an imaginary line set at a position corresponding to the maximum opening width of the hook opening or an imaginary line set at a position corresponding to the minimum opening width of the hook opening, and / or (b) one of the first arc-shaped portion and the second arc-shaped portion can cross the imaginary line set at the position corresponding to the maximum opening width of the hook opening, or the rod portion can be oriented to be parallel to the second imaginary line and the third imaginary line.

[0014] In several embodiments, the hook base and the connection portion are configured so that, when either of the hook and the mounting member is rotated relative to the other so that the mounting member is rotated to a position adjacent to the hook front end portion in a state in which the hook and the mounting member are disposed on the same plane, (a) one of the first arc-shaped portion and the second arc-shaped portion can cross an imaginary line set at a position corresponding to the maximum opening width of the hook opening, or (b) the rod portion can be oriented to be parallel to the second imaginary line and the third imaginary line.

[0015] The hook can have a side surface extending flat along the second imaginary line. The second imaginary line and the third imaginary line can be tangents of an imaginary circle or ellipse that determine the curved shape of the outer side surface of the hook. The hook can be rotatable relative to the mounting member so that the second imaginary line and the third imaginary line are oriented to be parallel to the side edge of the hanging object in a state in which the main body portion of the mounting member is mounted to the hanging object.

[0016] In several embodiments, if a hypothetical circle or ellipse that determines the curved shape of the hook is assumed to be set, the hook base and the connecting portion are configured so that, when either of the hook and the mounting member is rotated relative to the other in a state in which the hook and the mounting member are disposed on the same plane so that the mounting member is rotated to a position adjacent to the front end portion of the hook, the mounting member is able to cross the hypothetical circle or ellipse.

[0017] A housing portion can be provided at the hook base, and a rotating portion can be provided at the connecting portion. The hook can be J-shaped, and the main body portion can be D-shaped. The hook base and the connecting portion can be configured so that the mounting member is able to be positioned from the position adjacent to the front end portion of the hook.

[0018] The groove can have a narrow portion in which the groove width is reduced, so that the mounting member is able to be positioned from the position adjacent to the front end portion of the hook. At least one protrusion can be provided at the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion, the protrusion being able to contact a protrusion provided at the housing portion for forming the narrow portion. By the protrusion at the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion contacting the protrusion provided at the housing portion for forming the narrow portion, the user can be notified that the mounting member has reached the position adjacent to the front end portion of the hook.

[0019] The housing portion can include a first facing portion and a second facing portion that are disposed facing each other, and a groove for movement of the shaft portion having the rotating portion fixed at the front end portion is formed by a space between the first facing portion and the second facing portion. One end of the groove on the hook front end portion side is formed so as to gradually or continuously narrow the width.

[0043] The various embodiments and features are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will be able to combine the various embodiments and / or features without extensive explanation, and will understand the synergistic effects of such combinations. Repeated descriptions between embodiments are omitted in principle. The drawings are primarily for the purpose of describing the invention and have been simplified for ease of drawing. The features are to be understood as general features applicable not only to the suspension tools disclosed in this application, but also to various other suspension tools not disclosed in this specification.

[0044] exist Figure 1 The image shows a non-limiting suspension tool 1 as disclosed herein. The suspension tool 1 is an assembly of a hook 2 and a mounting member 3 manufactured by resin injection molding. Furthermore, the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 can be molded simultaneously using a common injection molding apparatus and a common mold apparatus, making the assembly process of the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 unnecessary. Of course, the suspension tool can also be manufactured by injection molding the two separately and then assembling them. For convenience, reference is sometimes made to... Figure 1 The vertical, horizontal, and front-back directions are explained below. The front-back direction can also be referred to as the thickness direction, and the vertical direction can be referred to as the vertical direction.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in hook 2, the hook base 21 and the hook front end 22 are arranged separately from each other in a manner that defines the hook opening 25, and the hook extension 24 extends in a manner that forms a hook recess 23 between the hook base 21 and the hook front end 22. Figure 1 In the state shown (also refer to) Figure 8 The hook extension 24 extends in a certain direction (in...) Figure 1 (In the middle, diagonally upward) extends away from the hook base 21, and then extends with a specified curvature (determining the bending shape of the outer surface 2b of the hook 2 by an imaginary circle C1 (refer to)). Figure 8The curvature of the curve extends (in) Figure 1 The hook 2 extends diagonally from the upper right to the upper left, then to the left, and finally diagonally downwards to the left, reaching the front end 22 of the hook. Thus, the hook 2 is roughly J-shaped. The inner side 2a and outer side 2b of the hook 2 also extend in a J-shape. The hook opening 25 is always open, but a closing member can be added to the hook 2 to close the hook opening 25.

[0046] The mounting member 3 has a main body 31 and a connecting part 32. The main body 31 is used to mount the suspended object 9, and the connecting part 32 is connected to the main body 31 for engagement with the hook base 21. The main body 31 is a D-shaped ring (i.e., a D-ring) having a rod 5, a first arc-shaped portion 61 extending arc-shaped from the first end 51 of the rod 5 toward the connecting part 32, and a second arc-shaped portion 62 extending arc-shaped from the second end 52 of the rod 5 toward the connecting part 32, thereby defining a flat, enclosed space 38. The rod 5 extends in the left-right direction with a substantially constant cross-sectional shape (e.g., a circular cross-section). The first arc-shaped portion 61 and the second arc-shaped portion 62 increase in thickness (in the direction of extension) as they extend upward from the rod 5. Figure 1 The width (from front to back) increases, thereby strengthening the connection with the shaft portion 43 described later. The connecting portion 32 is a column portion protruding from the main body portion 31 (specifically, a column portion formed by connecting the rotating portion 41 and the shaft portion 43 described later), but it is not necessarily limited to this. The connecting portion 32 extends upward from the connection point of the first arc-shaped portion 61 and the second arc-shaped portion 62.

[0047] For the hook 2 to engage with the mounting member 3, a rotating part 41 can be provided on one of the hook base 21 and the connecting part 32, and a receiving part 42 for receiving the rotating part 41 can be provided on the other of the hook base 21 and the connecting part 32. By receiving and holding the rotating part 41 by the receiving part 42 (e.g., loose engagement), the mounting member 3 and the hook 2 can be engaged relative to each other in a rotatable manner.

[0048] The rotating part 41 is appropriately shaped for its smooth rotation, for example, (i) formed as having a smooth curved surface at least on a portion of its outer surface, or (ii) formed as a polyhedron with three or more faces. The edges between adjacent faces of the polyhedron may also be chamfered. Depending on the situation, two different parting lines are formed in the rotating part 41 corresponding to the junction of the mold assembly (e.g., the junction of the sliding cores), thereby confirming that the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are simultaneously injection molded through a common mold assembly. The rotating part 41 is fixed and supported at the front end of the shaft part 43. The shaft part 43 is capable of rotating in response to the rotation of the rotating part 41. The shaft part 43 is, for example, circular in cross-section, but is not limited thereto.

[0049] Hook 2 and mounting component 3 can be configured in the same plane (a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis AX1 and containing the rotation axis AX2) (see reference).Figure 2 ) In this plane, the hook 2 can be rotated with respect to the mounting member 3 around a rotation axis AX1 (parallel to the thickness direction of the hook 2) as a center, and vice versa. In addition, the hook 2 can be rotated with respect to the mounting member 3 around a rotation axis AX2 (orthogonal to the thickness direction of the hook 2) as a center, and by 90° rotation thereof, the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 can be disposed in different orthogonal planes (refer to FIG. 6B). Figure 3 ) Although not necessarily limited thereto, the hook 2 can have two (or more) rotational degrees of freedom with respect to the mounting member 3, whereby the use convenience of the hanging tool 1 is improved. Further, the same plane in which the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are disposed is orthogonal to the thickness direction of the hook 2 and the thickness direction of the mounting member 3. That is, when the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are disposed in a manner that the thickness direction of the hook 2 and the thickness direction of the mounting member 3 are parallel, the plane is orthogonal to the thickness directions thereof. The thickness direction can be understood to correspond to the front-rear direction of the hanging tool 1 as shown in FIG. 6A. Figure 1

[0050] The rotation portion 41 can be provided at the linking portion 32 of the mounting member 3, and the housing portion 42 can be provided at the hook base 21 of the hook 2. In this case, the hook base 21 and the linking portion 32 can be configured in the following manner. The hook base 21 (the housing portion 42) has a first facing portion 47 and a second facing portion 48 disposed facing each other. A certain portion (a first portion) of the space between the first facing portion 47 and the second facing portion 48 functions as a housing groove that houses the rotation portion 41, and another portion (a second portion) functions as the groove 46 for movement of the shaft portion 43. Through-holes 47j, 48j for partially housing the rotation portion 41 can be provided at each of the facing portions 47, 48. According to this structure, a mold device for simultaneously injection molding the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 using the same mold device can be appropriately constructed. The through-holes 47j, 48j pass through the facing portions 47, 48 in the thickness direction thereof. Instead of the through-holes 47j, 48j of the facing portions 47, 48, recesses for partially housing the rotation portion 41 can be provided.

[0051] By the rotation of the hook 2 with respect to the mounting member 3, the size of the entire hanging tool 1 becomes smaller (refer to FIG. 6B). Figure 4 ​). The hook 2 freely rotates or pivots with respect to the mounting member 3, and thus the convenience of use of the hanging tool 1 is improved. In this regard, in a case where the hanging tool 1 is not used, it is required to maintain the size of the entire hanging tool 1 small, and in addition, it is required to notify a user who operates the hook 2 that the hook 2 has become a prescribed posture. From either or both of these two aspects, a mechanism that holds the posture of the hook 2 with respect to the mounting member 3 in some cases simply or temporarily, that is, detachably, is adopted. Specifically, a narrow portion 46j (refer to Figure 5 ) in which the width of the groove 46 is reduced is provided in the groove 46. Thereby, it is possible to maintain the relative positional relationship of the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 in a certain state, or it is possible to notify a user that the position has been reached.

[0052] In Figure 5 , the narrow portion 46j is provided in order to position the mounting member 3 at a position adjacent to the hook front end portion 22. In order to pass the shaft portion 43 through the narrow portion 46j, it is required to more consciously operate the hook 2, and thus it is possible to simply or temporarily hold the posture of the hook 2, or it is possible to notify a user that the hook 2 has become a desired posture. The narrow portion 46j can be formed by disposing a pair of protrusions 87, 88 in opposition to each other on the facing surfaces of the facing portions 47, 48, but can also be provided as only one protrusion. Each of the protrusions 87, 88 can be a single wavy protrusion that extends from the outer periphery of the facing surface of the facing portion 47, 48 toward the inside (for example, the through hole 47j, 48j). The groove 46 is divided into a first groove region 46p and a second groove region 46q by the narrow portion 46j. It is also possible to enable the shaft portion 43 to rotate with its axial direction as the center of rotation in a state of being housed in the first groove region 46p of the groove 46, and further improve the degree of freedom of deformation of the hanging tool 1. In this case, it is possible to make the first groove region 46p slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the shaft portion 43.

[0053] The groove 46 can have one end 46e (refer to Figure 5 ) that narrows in stages or continuously on the hook front end portion 22 side, and thereby, cracking of the hook 2 (for example, the facing portions 47, 48) due to the force received by the first facing portion 47 and the second facing portion 48 from the shaft portion 43 is suppressed. The cross section of the shaft portion 43 is a perfect circle, but should not be limited to this cross-sectional shape. Furthermore, the shaft portion 43 cannot enter the one end 46e of the groove 46, and the one end 46e of the groove 46 has a width smaller than the maximum diameter or width of the shaft portion 43.

[0054] With reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a non-limiting example of the use of the hanging tool 1 will be described. The hanging object 9 is, for example, a small article storage box that is expandable for carrying or traveling, but is not limited thereto, and can be other various articles such as a board to which a mirror is attached (typically, a lightweight article of 1 kg or less in weight). As shown inFigure 6 As shown, when the suspension tool 1 is installed on the object to be suspended 9, the hook 2 is hung on... Figure 6 The rod 8, as shown by the dotted line, is capable of suspending the object 9 (via the suspension tool 1) on the rod 8. When it is not necessary to suspend the object 9, the suspension tool 1 can... Figure 7 As shown, it is stored in hanging object 9.

[0055] When the main body 31 is D-shaped, the mounting strap 92 can be inserted into the loop of the main body 31, and the mounting strap 92 can be sewn to the fabric 91 of the hanging tool 1 on both sides. In this way, the main body 31 of the mounting member 3 is securely mounted to the hanging object 9. The main body 31 can assume a first position where it lies down across the side edge 93 of the hanging object 9. Figure 6 ) and the second posture, which is to fall to the side opposite to the first posture. Figure 7 The first position of the main body 31 is adapted to unfold the hook 2 from the suspended object 9. The second position of the main body 31 is adapted to store the hook 2 in the suspended object 9.

[0056] Through the aforementioned engagement between the rotating part 41 and the receiving part 42, the hook 2 can rotate relative to the mounting member 3 in the same plane (see reference). Figure 6 If the main body 31 is moved from the second position to the first position and the hook 2 is rotated clockwise, the hook 2 can be positioned away from the suspended object 9, and the hook 2 can be hooked onto the rod 8. Furthermore, although depending on the engagement state of the rotating part 41 and the receiving part 42, the hook 2 can... Figure 6 In the state shown, it rotates relative to the mounting component 3 with the rotation axis AX2 as the center of rotation.

[0057] According to this disclosure, the miniaturization of the suspension tool 1 when not suspended is facilitated. For reference, when the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are connected to each other by a chain, although the hook 2 can move freely relative to the mounting member 3, there is a problem that the hook 2 will move freely even when the suspension tool 1 is not used to suspend the object 9. According to this disclosure, compared to this situation, a good balance is achieved between ensuring the freedom of movement of the hook 2 when suspended and miniaturizing the suspension tool 1 when not suspended. Hereinafter, a more detailed description will be given with reference to the remaining drawings.

[0058] Figure 8 This indicates that multiple imaginary lines are set for hook 2. Figure 9 This indicates that an imaginary line is set for mounting component 3. For example... Figure 8 As shown, it is assumed that the first imaginary line L1 is represented by the synthesis of the first vector V1 and the second vector V2. This first imaginary line L1 originates from the hook base 21 (e.g., the rotation axis AX1 orthogonal to the configuration plane of the hook 2 and the mounting member 3). (See also...) Figure 2) to the bottom point 26 of the hook recess 23, the first vector V1 extends in the depth direction of the hook recess 23, and the second vector V2 extends orthogonally to the first vector V1 from the front end of the first vector V1 to the bottom point 26 of the hook recess 23. Further, from the viewpoint of explicitness, the bottom point 26 of the hook recess 23 is set at the intersection of the imaginary line L8, which is an imaginary line obtained by parallelly moving the imaginary lines L4, L5 set in correspondence with the opening width of the hook opening 25, and the bottom surface of the hook recess 23, but can be at other positions of the bottom of the hook recess 23 that can be said to be sufficiently away from the hook base 21. The imaginary line L4 is set at a position corresponding to the maximum opening width of the hook opening 25. The imaginary line L5 is set at a position corresponding to the minimum opening width of the hook opening 25. The depth direction of the hook recess 23 is in the oblique right direction in Figure 1 and Figure 8 but other directions can also be adopted.

[0059] The second imaginary line L2 and the third imaginary line L3 parallel to the first vector V1 can be set to pass through the hook base 21 and the hook front end portion 22. Further, the second imaginary line L2 is set in relation to the hook base 21, and the third imaginary line L3 is set in relation to the hook front end portion 22. The second imaginary line L2 contacts the outer side surface of the hook base 21, and the third imaginary line L3 contacts the outer side surface of the hook front end portion 22. The second imaginary line L2 and the third imaginary line L3 can be tangent lines of an imaginary perfect circle C1 that determines the curved shape of the outer side surface 2b of the hook 2.

[0060] The hook 2 can have a side surface 29 that extends flat along the second imaginary line L2. In addition, the hook recess 23 has a width that increases and then decreases as it moves away from the hook opening 25, as indicated by the imaginary lines L5 to L7 parallel to the imaginary lines L4, L5. This is also a result of the inner side surface 2a of the hook 2 extending in a J shape. With regard to the mounting member 3, as indicated in Figure 9 , the imaginary line L9 can be allocated with respect to the extension direction of the rod portion 5.

[0061] Either of the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 can be rotated with respect to the other in a state in which the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are disposed on the same plane so that the mounting member 3 is rotated from a position away from the hook front end portion 22 (refer to Figure 10 ) via an intermediate position (refer to Figure 11 ) to an adjacent position (refer to Figure 12 ). In this entire process, the mounting member 3 does not cross the third imaginary line L3. Thereby, the downsizing of the hanging tool 1 is promoted, and in particular, the downsizing of the hanging tool 1 at the time of hanging that is not used for the hanging object 9 is promoted.

[0062] Further, in the away position (refer to Figure 10) when the hook base 21 is sandwiched between the mounting member 3 and the hook front end portion 22. In the intermediate position (C) when the hook base 21 is not sandwiched between the mounting member 3 and the hook front end portion 22. In the adjacent position (D) when the mounting member 3 is disposed at a position closer to the hook front end portion 22 than the above-described separation position and the intermediate position. Figure 11 ) when the hook base 21 is sandwiched between the mounting member 3 and the hook front end portion 22. In the intermediate position (C) when the hook base 21 is not sandwiched between the mounting member 3 and the hook front end portion 22. In the adjacent position (D) when the mounting member 3 is disposed at a position closer to the hook front end portion 22 than the above-described separation position and the intermediate position. Figure 12

[0063] The mounting member 3 not crossing the third imaginary line L3 means that the hook 2 does not cross the side edge 93 when the hook 2 is turned from the dotted-line posture to the solid-line posture in FIG. 8. Figure 7

[0064] As shown in FIG. 9, the mounting member 3 can cross the fourth imaginary line L4 that is set at a position corresponding to the maximum opening width of the hook opening 25. As an addition or an alternative, the mounting member 3 can cross the fifth imaginary line L5 that is set at a position corresponding to the minimum opening width of the hook opening 25. That is, the hook base 21 and the connecting portion 32 are configured in such a manner that the hanging tool 1 can be in this state. Thereby, the downsizing of the hanging tool 1 at the time of not being used for hanging the hanging object 9 is promoted. Figure 12

[0065] Further, it can also be stated that the length of the slot 46 is set so that the mounting member 3 can cross the fourth imaginary line L4 or the fifth imaginary line L5 when either of the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 is turned with respect to the other in a state where the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are disposed on the same plane so that the mounting member 3 is turned toward the hook front end portion 22.

[0066] It can be that either of the first arc-shaped portion 61 and the second arc-shaped portion 62 can cross the fourth imaginary line L4 or the fifth imaginary line L5 that is set at a position corresponding to the maximum or minimum opening width of the hook opening 25. As an addition or an alternative, it can be that the rod portion 5 can be oriented to be parallel to the second imaginary line L2 and the third imaginary line L3. That is, the hook base 21 and the connecting portion 32 or the length of the slot 46 are configured in such a manner that the hanging tool 1 can be in this state. Thereby, the downsizing of the hanging tool 1 at the time of not being used for hanging the hanging object 9 is promoted.

[0067] From Figure 13 It is also known that the mounting member 3 can enter the hook opening 25 (or enter the hook recess 23 via the hook opening 25) from the first arc-shaped portion 61 or the second arc-shaped portion 62. It can be that when the hook 2 and the mounting member 3 are disposed on different planes that are orthogonal (refer to FIG. 10), the first arc-shaped portion 61 and the second arc-shaped portion 62 are disposed on the same plane as the hook opening 25. Figure 3 ​​​), the entire mounting member 3 can enter the hook recess 23 through the hook opening 25. That is, it can be that the entire mounting member 3 can be disposed at a position closer to the hook recess 23 than the imaginary line L4.

[0068] In Figure 14 the illustrated position, the mounting member 3 is simply positioned and held at the position. This is a result of the shaft portion 43 passing through the narrow portion 46j as described above (see also Figure 15 ).

[0069] As Figure 16 illustrated, if an imaginary true circle C2 that determines the curved shape of the inner side surface 2a of the hook 2 is assumed to be set, the mounting member 3 (for example, the first arc-shaped portion 61 or the second arc-shaped portion 62) can intersect the imaginary true circle C2. That is, the hook base 21 and the connecting portion 32 or the length of the setting groove 46 are configured in such a manner that the hanging tool 1 can be in this state.

[0070] For the sake of thoroughness, it is noted that, in a state in which the main body portion 31 of the mounting member 3 is mounted to the hanging object 9, the hook 2 can be rotated with respect to the mounting member 3 so that the second imaginary line L2 and the third imaginary line L3 are oriented to be parallel to the straightly extending side edge 93 of the hanging object 9. Further, the side edge 93 is located at a position to be straddled by the hook 2, and the mounting member 3 can be positioned thereon as an option. Figure 7

[0071] Figure 17 and Figure 18 indicate that the shape of the hook 2 is not a true circle but is in a manner in which an ellipse is a reference. In this case, the same effects as described above can also be obtained within a range that does not contradict the above description.

[0072] In Figure 17 , instead of the imaginary true circle C1, an imaginary ellipse C3 is illustrated. The first imaginary line L1 from the hook base 21 (rotation axis AX1) toward the bottom point 26 of the hook recess 23 is represented by a composition of a first vector V1 extending in the depth direction of the hook recess 23 and a second vector V2 extending orthogonally to the first vector V1 from the tip of the first vector V1 to the bottom point 26 of the hook recess 23.

[0073] In Figure 18 , instead of the imaginary true circle C2, an imaginary ellipse C4 is illustrated, and the mounting member 3 can intersect the imaginary ellipse C4. As Figure 17 and Figure 18 illustrated, the shape of the hook 2 can be changed without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. The mounting member 3 can also be changed to other shapes. To avoid redundant description, reference Figure 17 and Figure 18 is omitted.Further description.

[0074] In Figure 19 , a protrusion 49 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 43 of the mounting member 3, and the protrusion 49 is capable of contacting the protrusions 87, 88 provided to the housing portion 42 of the hook base 21 in order to form the narrow portion 46j. The protrusion 49 is provided protruding to the radial direction outside of the shaft portion 43. As a result, the small diameter portion 71, 72 and the large diameter portion 73 are provided to the shaft portion 43. Further, the large diameter portion 73 is a portion formed by providing the above-mentioned protrusion 49 to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 43, and is provided between the small diameter portions 71, 72. The diameter of the large diameter portion 73 is, for example, in the range of 1.05 to 1.4 times the diameter of the small diameter portions 71, 72. Further, in Figure 19 , the large diameter portion 73 is provided as a protrusion protruding to the radial direction outside, but is not limited thereto, and the small diameter portion 71 of one of the Figure 19 may be formed to have the same diameter as the large diameter portion 73. In other words, one of the two small diameter portions 71, 72 can be omitted.

[0075] As shown in Figure 20 , when the shaft portion 43 is inserted into the narrow portion 46j of the groove 46, the protrusion 49 (and the large diameter portion 73) of the shaft portion 43 contacts the protrusions 87, 88 provided to the facing portions 47, 48 in order to form the narrow portion 46j in the groove 46 (further, one protrusion can be provided instead of two protrusions for the narrow portion 46j). When the protrusion 49 (and the large diameter portion 73) of the shaft portion 43 passes over the protrusions 87, 88, the force required for the rotation of the mounting member 3 momentarily increases, and thus, the user can be notified that the mounting member 3 has reached a prescribed position (for example, the above-mentioned first groove region 46p). In the case where the protrusion 49 (and the large diameter portion 73) is provided to the shaft portion 43, even if the remaining portion of the shaft portion 43 is reduced in diameter (narrowed in width), the function of notifying the user can be maintained. Further, the first groove region 46p can be made slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the large diameter portion 73.

[0076] The wall portion 81 can be provided on the facing surface of each of the facing portions 47, 48 in a manner of partially or entirely surrounding the opening end of the through hole 47j, 48j, and the above-mentioned protrusions 87, 88 can be connected to the wall portion 81 (refer to Figure 21 ). Thereby, the portion of the slide core for forming the protrusions 87, 88 is inhibited from being damaged due to collision with other slide cores. Further, although not explicitly shown in Figure 21 , on the facing surface of the facing portion 47, the protrusion 87 is also provided in connection with the wall portion (not shown) surrounding the opening end of the through hole 47j. The wall portion 81 is a C-shaped or U-shaped portion with the opening facing the side opposite to the above-mentioned first vector V1, but should not be limited thereto.
