Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a locking clip mounting device, which can be used to secure clothing, socks, shoes, bags, and other goods, or to attach brand labels, price tags, material specifications, instruction manuals, or other labels and identification elements referred to as locking clips to these goods. More specifically, it relates to a locking clip mounting device for attaching locking clips to goods, and a ring pin used in the locking clip mounting device, wherein the locking clip displays various labels, registered trademarks, quality marks, manufacturer names, distributor names, etc. Background Technology

[0002] Generally speaking, various clip installation devices have been used in the past to bundle up clothes, socks, shoes, bags and other goods, or to effectively install brand labels, price tags and other clips on these goods.

[0003] For example, existing locking clip mounting devices involve holding a lever formed in the body of a pistol-shaped device, ejecting ring pins one by one from the ring pin assembly, passing through labels, tags, etc., and inserting the insertion head of the ring pin into the insertion part of the ring pin, thereby forming a ring.

[0004] In addition, the aforementioned ring pin is composed of a linear body, which is made of thin wire material with a insertion head and an insertion port respectively installed at its two ends.

[0005] Furthermore, the ring pin assembly consists of a component that arranges multiple ring pins in parallel and temporarily fixes each insertion head and insertion port integrally to a separately provided connecting rod.

[0006] On the one hand, the inventors of this application have conducted in-depth discussions with the technical personnel of MIT International Ltd., an affiliated company, for a long period of time, and ultimately independently developed patents as shown in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-238714 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-289727 (Patent Document 2), Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-354218 (Patent Document 3), Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-56644 (Patent Document 4), and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2004-83133 (Patent Document 5), and from this application... Figure 10 (First example) or Figure 11 (Second Configuration Example) The schematic perspective view shows the locking plate mounting devices 500 and 510, which are provided to the market.

[0007] The locking plate mounting devices 500 and 510 have a pistol-shaped device body 10.

[0008] The main body 10 of the device is provided with: a handle 12, which is rotatably supported on a handle portion 11 provided on the main body 10 of the device; and a drive arm 13 (see reference). Figure 12 , Figure 19The device is swung by the handle 12; a first guide passage 42 is disposed within the device body 10 and extends from near the rear end 40 of the device body 10 to the front end 41 of the device body 10 along the long side of the device body 10; a second guide passage 43 is disposed approximately parallel to the first guide passage 42 at a predetermined interval and extends from near the rear end 40 of the device body 10 to the front end 41 of the device body 10; a hollow guide member 50 is formed in a cylindrical shape and one end is connected to the front opening of the first guide passage 42; and a curved hollow guide member 20 is formed in a curved shape and one end is connected to the front opening of the second guide passage 43, and the front end 20a of the other end is disposed on the ejection direction line of the insertion head 3 of the ring pin 700 described later.

[0009] Furthermore, a first ejector pin 16 is provided in the first guide passage 42, which slides linearly back and forth in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm 13. In addition, a second ejector pin 19, which is made of a flexible member, is provided in the second guide passage 43, which slides back and forth in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm 13.

[0010] like Figure 20 As shown, the aforementioned ring pin 700 has an insertion head 3 with an engaging portion 4 at one end 60 of the flexible linear body portion 2 having a predetermined length. Furthermore, an insertion port portion 5 with a hole portion 7 is provided at the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2, and the hole portion 7 is provided with a locking portion 6 for irreversibly inserting and engaging the engaging portion 4 of the insertion head 3.

[0011] The first ejector pin 16 is configured to abut against the insertion head 3 of the ring pin 700 supplied to the first guide passage 42. In response to the action of the handle 12, the insertion head 3 is discharged in a straight line through the hollow guide member 50 to the fitting portion 54 with the insertion port 5.

[0012] The second ejector pin 19 is configured to abut against the insertion portion 5 of the ring pin 700 supplied into the second guide passage 43. In response to the movement of the handle 12, the insertion portion 5 is moved via the curved hollow guide member 20 to the engagement portion 54 with the insertion head 3. Furthermore, the first ejector pin 16 and the second ejector pin 19 engage the insertion head 3 with the insertion portion 5 in the engagement portion 54.

[0013] In addition, Figure 10 In a specific example, the first guiding pathway 42 and the second guiding pathway 43 are formed on the same horizontal plane, but as Figure 11 As shown in the specific example, the first guide path 42 and the second guide path 43 can also be formed on horizontal planes with different heights.

[0014] Furthermore, in the locking clip mounting devices 500 and 510, a gap 70 with arbitrary spacing and depth (bottom surface) is formed between the wall surface including the first guide passage 42 and the wall surface including the second guide passage 43. Moreover, the bottom surface of the gap 70 is formed into a closed shape by either a horizontal bottom surface 72 or an inclined bottom surface 71.

[0015] The following describes the basic structure and operation of the existing locking clip mounting device, which is the subject of this application, mainly with reference to... Figure 11 The disclosed locking clip mounting device 510 provides a general description of these.

[0016] also, Figure 10 The disclosed structure of the locking tab mounting device 500 and the drive mechanisms of its constituent components are substantially the same as those of the first guide passage 42 and the second guide passage 43, except that the first guide passage 42 and the second guide passage 43 are formed on the same horizontal plane. Figure 11 same.

[0017] That is, by Figures 11 to 15 A specific example of the locking plate mounting device 510 can be found.

[0018] The locking clip mounting device 510 includes: a handle 12 rotatably supported on the handle portion 11 of the pistol-type device body 10; a drive arm 13 that swings via the handle 12; a first guide passage 42 disposed within the device body 10, extending along the long side of the device body 10 from near the rear end 40 to the front end 41; a second guide passage 43 disposed at a predetermined interval from the first guide passage 42 and in a substantially parallel state, extending from near the rear end 40 to the front end 41; a hollow guide member 50 formed in a cylindrical shape, one end of which is connected to the front opening of the first guide passage 42; and a curved hollow guide member 20 formed in a curved shape, one end of which is connected to the front opening of the second guide passage 43, and the front end 20a of the other end is arranged in a downwardly inclined state such that it is disposed on the firing direction line of the insertion head 3 of the ring pin 700.

[0019] Furthermore, a first ejector pin 16 is provided in the first guide passage 42, which slides linearly back and forth in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm 13. In addition, a second ejector pin 19, which is made of a flexible member, is provided in the second guide passage 43, which slides back and forth in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm 13.

[0020] Furthermore, the aforementioned ring pin 700 has an insertion head 3 with a locking portion 4 at one end 60 of the flexible linear body portion 2 having a predetermined length. In addition, an insertion port portion 5 with a hole portion 7 is provided at the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2, and the hole portion 7 is provided with a locking portion 6 for irreversibly inserting and engaging the locking portion 4 of the insertion head 3.

[0021] The first ejector pin 16 is configured to abut against the insertion head 3 of the ring pin 700 supplied to the first guide passage 42. In response to the action of the handle 12, the insertion head 3 is discharged in a straight line through the hollow guide member 50 to the fitting portion 54 with the insertion port 5.

[0022] The second ejector pin 19 is configured to abut against the insertion portion 5 of the ring pin 700 supplied into the second guide passage 43. In response to the movement of the handle 12, the insertion portion 5 is moved via the curved hollow guide member 20 to the engagement portion 54 with the insertion head 3. Furthermore, the first ejector pin 16 and the second ejector pin 19 engage the insertion head 3 with the insertion portion 5 in the engagement portion 54.

[0023] Furthermore, in the existing locking clip mounting device 510, a gap 70 with arbitrary spacing and depth is formed between the wall surface including the first guide passage 42 and the wall surface including the second guide passage 43. The bottom surface of the gap 70 is formed into a closed shape by an inclined bottom part 71.

[0024] As described above, in the existing locking clip mounting device 510, the horizontal plane formed by the first guide passage 42 with the built-in first ejection pin 16 and the horizontal plane formed by the second guide passage 43 with the built-in second ejection pin 19 have different heights (see reference). Figure 11 Specifically, the horizontal plane including the first guide passage 42 is lower than the horizontal plane including the second guide passage 43, and there is an inclined bottom surface 71 in the recess of the gap 70.

[0025] In addition, Figure 10 In the first example shown, from Figure 16 Top view and Figure 17 As can be seen from the front view, the horizontal plane formed by the first guide passage 42 and the horizontal plane formed by the second guide passage 43 are the same plane, and there is a horizontal bottom surface 72 in the recess of the gap 70.

[0026] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a more specific configuration example and its driving method related to the drive mechanism of the conventional locking plate mounting device 510 will be described in detail.

[0027] Figure 12 (A) Figure 12 (B) Figure 13 , Figure 14(A) and Figure 14 (B) is a schematic side view and top view showing an example of the internal structure of the locking tab mounting device 510.

[0028] In these figures, the device body 10 includes: a handle 12 rotatably supported on a handle portion 11; a drive arm 13 that swings via the handle 12; a first pin holding portion 15 that slides linearly on a first guide rail 14 via the movement of the drive arm 13; a first ejector pin 16 disposed in the first pin holding portion 15 and reciprocating within a first guide passage 42; a second pin holding portion 18 that moves linearly on a second guide rail 17 via the movement of the drive arm 13; and a second ejector pin 19, whose base end is fixed to the second pin holding portion 18, is composed of a flexible component such as a tightly wound helical spring, and reciprocates within a second guide passage 43. The front end of the second ejector pin 19 is located near the outlet of the second guide passage 43. Furthermore, the device body 10 includes a curved hollow guide member 20 that guides the second ejector pin 19. This curved hollow guide member 20 is configured such that its front end 20a is positioned at a protruding position of the first ejector pin 16 while its height and horizontal position are being changed. Thus, the second strike pin 19 can reach the front end 20a.

[0029] like Figure 12 (A) and Figure 12 As shown in (B), the handle 12 is rotatably supported on the pin 21 erected on the main body 10 of the device, and a first cam 22 is formed on the inner side to abut against the base end 13a of the drive arm 13.

[0030] By appropriately changing the shape of the first cam 22, the moving speed of the first ejector pin 16 can be changed.

[0031] Furthermore, the first cam 22 is shaped such that when the handle 12 rotates around the pin 21, it always abuts against the roller 24, which is rotatably mounted relative to the base end 13a, and can convert the rotational motion of the roller 24 into the swing of the drive arm 13.

[0032] The drive arm 13 is rotatably supported on a support shaft 23 that is erected on the approximately central inner side of the handle portion 11, and the base end portion 13a is formed into a shape that is bent at a right angle relative to the long side direction.

[0033] Furthermore, a spring component 25, one end of which is fixed to the handle portion 11, is engaged with a protrusion 13b formed near the center of the drive arm 13. Through this spring component 25, the drive arm 13 is rotated clockwise. As a result, the roller 24 at the base end 13a is always pressed in a direction that abuts against the first cam 22 at a right angle.

[0034] In addition, such as Figure 19As shown, the drive arm 13 has a second cam 26 that drives the first pin retainer 15. The second cam 26 has curved portions 26a and 26b on both sides that are bent into a generally symmetrical shape, and has a pointed head 26c at the upper end.

[0035] Furthermore, a hole 13c is formed at the front end of the drive arm 13, and a connecting rod component 27 connected to the second pin retaining part 18 is connected through an elongated hole (not shown) in the hole 13c.

[0036] and then, Figure 18 (A) and Figure 18 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the first pin retainer 15 and the second cam 26. Figure 18 (A) shows the state where the handle 12 is not gripped and the drive arm 13 is rotated clockwise by the spring component 25 (see reference). Figure 12 (A) The first pin retaining part 15 is pressed to the right (direction A) in the figure by the curved part 26b of the second cam 26, and the first ejector pin 16 is retracted to the inside. At this time, the second cam 26 is inserted into the groove in the center of the first pin retaining part 15.

[0037] Figure 18 (B) shows the state where the handle 12 is gripped and the drive arm 13 rotates counterclockwise against the spring component 25 (see reference). Figure 12 (B)).

[0038] The first pin retaining portion 15 is pressed to the left (direction B) by the tip 26c of the second cam 26, causing the first ejector pin 16 to protrude to the front end 20a of the curved hollow guide member 20. Initially, the groove sidewall of the first pin retaining portion 15 abuts against the curved portion 26a. However, as the drive arm 13 rotates sequentially, the cut portion 26d of the second cam 26 abuts against the first pin retaining portion 15, thereby temporarily reducing the feed speed of the first pin retaining portion 15. Then, in the final stage, the tip 26c falls into the small recess 15a formed in the groove sidewall, in which state the first pin retaining portion 15 is held.

[0039] The second pin retaining part 18 is connected to the drive arm 13 via the connecting rod component 27 and is guided by the second guide rail 17 to perform linear motion (see reference). Figure 13 ).

[0040] If the drive arm 13 rotates counterclockwise, the connecting rod member 27, which initially presses the second pin retainer 18 in a ">" shape, rotates in an elbow-like manner in the elongated hole portion, causing the movement speed of the second pin retainer 18 to vary near the elbow position.

[0041] That is, when the connecting rod assembly 27 rotates in an elbow-like manner, the second pin retainer 18 hardly moves.

[0042] This mechanism prevents the second ejector pin 19 from springing back. Therefore, the insertion portion 5 can be held at the front end 20a of the curved hollow guide member 20.

[0043] Furthermore, the insertion portion 5, which first reaches the front end 20a of the curved hollow guide member 20, can be put into standby mode.

[0044] Next, a specific example of the usage steps of the locking plate mounting device 510 configured as described above will be explained.

[0045] First, the ring pin 700 is installed on the mounting part from the upper surface of the device body 10.

[0046] like Figure 15 As shown, the ring pin 700 is configured such that the insertion portion 5 is higher and the insertion head 3 is lower. This inclination matches the inclination of the curved hollow guide member 20. If the handle 12 is gripped, it rotates counterclockwise around the pin 21, and the drive arm 13, which abuts against the handle 12 via the roller 24, overcomes the force of the spring member 25.

[0047] If the drive arm 13 rotates, the first pin retainer 15, which engages with the second cam 26, advances along the first guide rail 14. If the first pin retainer 15 advances, the first ejector pin 16 fixed thereon will eject the insertion head 3 forward.

[0048] On the other hand, if the drive arm 13 rotates, the connecting rod component 27 connected to the hole 13c at the front end rotates, causing the second pin retaining part 18 to advance along the second guide rail 17.

[0049] The second pin retainer 18 is located further away from the rotation center of the drive arm 13, and therefore advances at a faster speed than the first pin retainer 15. Furthermore, the distance the insertion part 5 travels through the curved hollow guide member 20 to reach its front end 20a is longer than the straight distance the insertion head 3 travels, thus its travel distance is also longer. Regarding the timing of their movement, the insertion part 5 reaches the front end 20a first, followed by the insertion head 3, which then reaches the front end 20a and engages at the mating part 54.

[0050] Furthermore, the forward speed of the first ejector pin 16 is temporarily reduced near the front end 20a due to the structure of the second cam 26 and the first pin retainer 15, and it is locked at the front end 20a. This mechanism prevents the ring pin 700 from cracking. Moreover, since it is locked in a protruding state, the insertion head 3 can be reliably installed on the socket portion 5.

[0051] The second pin retainer 18 is connected to the front end of the drive arm 13 via the connecting rod member 27. As a result, the portion in the hole 13c rotates in an elbow-like manner, causing the moving speed of the second pin retainer 18 to vary around the elbow position.

[0052] That is, when the connecting rod component 27 rotates around the hole 13c, the second pin retaining part 18 hardly advances. With this mechanism, the second ejection pin 19 can be prevented from springing back, and the insertion part 5 can be held in the position of the front end 20a of the curved hollow guide component 20.

[0053] Next, an example of how to use the locking clip mounting device 510 will be explained in detail.

[0054] First, refer to Figure 20 An example of the structure of the ring pin 700 used in the locking tab mounting device 510 will be described.

[0055] like Figure 20 (A) ~ Figure 20 As shown in (D), each of the ring pins 700 used in the locking plate mounting device 510 is composed of the following components: a flexible linear body portion 2; an insertion head 3 disposed at one end 60 of the linear body portion 2 and having an engaging portion 4; and an insertion port portion 5 disposed at the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2 and having a hole portion 7, wherein a locking portion 6 is formed inside the hole portion 7 for irreversibly inserting and engaging the insertion head 3. By inserting the insertion head 3 through into the hole portion 7 provided in the insertion port portion 5, the engaging portion 4 provided in the insertion head 3 engages with the leaf-shaped locking portion 6 disposed in the hole portion 7 of the insertion port portion 5. This prevents the insertion head 3 from disengaging from the hole portion 7 of the insertion port portion 5.

[0056] Furthermore, the locking clip mounting device 510 mechanically performs the operation by attaching the ring pin 700 to a specific product while retaining the label. To perform this operation effectively, it is preferable to use it in the following manner. Specifically, as... Figure 20 As shown in (A), multiple ring pins 700 are arranged in parallel, and a portion of the insertion head 3 of each ring pin 700 is fixedly held to a predetermined connecting rod 8 in a state that allows for easy cutting. At the same time, a portion of the insertion port 5 of each ring pin 700 is fixedly held to a separately prepared predetermined connecting rod 8' in a state that allows for easy cutting. In this way, an integral sheet-like ring pin assembly 9 is formed for use.

[0057] Next, in order to actually make each ring pin 700 using the locking clip mounting device 510, such as Figure 11 as well as Figure 14As shown in (B), the ring pin assembly 9 is installed in the locking tab mounting device 510. Specifically, the two connecting rods 8 and 8' of the ring pin assembly 9 are brought close together, and the linear body portion 2 is bent into a U-shape. While maintaining this shape, the connecting rod 8 is inserted into the longitudinal groove 32 for inserting the connecting rod 8 provided in the locking tab mounting device 510. Then, the insertion head 3 is inserted into the first guide passage 42 for guiding the first ejector pin 16. At the same time, the connecting rod 8' is inserted into the longitudinal groove 33 for inserting the connecting rod 8' provided in the locking tab mounting device 510. Then, the insertion port 5 is inserted into the second guide passage 43 for guiding the second ejector pin 19.

[0058] After the ring pin assembly 9 is set, each time the handle 12 of the locking plate mounting device 510 is pulled, the above-mentioned mechanisms are activated. Moreover, although not shown, the predetermined ring pin feeding mechanism is also activated at the same time, feeding the insertion head 3 and the insertion port 5 of the ring pin 700 into the first guide passage 42 and the second guide passage 43 one by one, and ejecting them individually to form a ring.

[0059] However, in the locking clip mounting device 510, such as Figure 11 As shown, the ring pin assembly 9 is installed on the device body 10 with the ring pins 700 bent. The ring pins 700 are continuously ejected one by one, forming a closed loop with labels, etc., and then installed on a specific product. At this time, in the linear portions 2 of each ring pin 700, there are no units to prevent the linear portions 2 from tangling with each other in the larger bent sections. It can be described as a free state, that is, the bent portions of each linear portion 2 are capable of arbitrary displacement and deformation.

[0060] Therefore, in this state, if any tension variation or any abnormal force is applied to any part of each linear body portion 2, the linear body portion 2, including the curved portion, is prone to displacement and deformation in a variety of directions. As a result, the linear body portions 2 come into contact with each other and become entangled.

[0061] If the linear portions 2 of adjacent ring pins 700 become entangled, the insertion portion 5 and the insertion head 3 of the protruding ring pin 700 will not fully engage, sometimes failing to complete the engagement. If the next ring pin 700 is protruded without knowing that the engagement is incomplete, a blockage will occur in the hollow guide member 50 or the curved hollow guide member 20. If such a blockage occurs, the removal of the ring pin 700 will take longer, significantly reducing work efficiency. Furthermore, continued use in this state will cause the locking clip mounting device 510 to malfunction and become unusable.

[0062] Furthermore, even when the threaded parts 2 are intertwined, and the insertion head 3 and the insertion port 5 can be fully engaged, it is sometimes impossible to smoothly remove the ring pin 700, including the label, from the device body 10.

[0063] In order to solve these problems, relevant personnel, including the inventors of this application, have studied the causes of the problems and proposed specific improvement measures for each cause, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-238714 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-289727 (Patent Document 2), Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-056644 (Patent Document 4), Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-206171 (Patent Document 6), and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-126176 (Patent Document 7).

[0064] However, a sufficient and perfect effect in preventing tangling has not been achieved. In particular, when the linear part 2 of the ring pin 700 is a thin thread, or when using a highly flexible linear material such as thread, twisted thread, braided tape, or rope, or if the firing speed of the ring pin 700 increases, the probability of tangling increases. In other words, the current situation presents considerable difficulties in solving the problem.

[0065] In the method of attaching a label or the like to a product by using a locking clip mounting device 510 with a ring pin 700 attached, the following problems arise due to the reasons shown in the above-mentioned known examples.

[0066] Specifically, the linear portions 2 of adjacent ring pins 700 are intertwined with each other, that is, they are interlocked or cross-engaged, or they are joined and abutted, becoming unable to separate. As a result, the insertion head 3 and the insertion port 5 in the ring pin 700 cannot be fitted together.

[0067] Furthermore, even when the insertion head 3 and the insertion port 5 can fit together, problems arise when the linear portions 2 of adjacent ring pins 700 become entangled. For example, even after the ring pin ejection operation is completed, it is sometimes impossible to remove the fitted ring pin 700 from the device body 10. As a result, considerable time and labor are required for the removal operation, significantly reducing the efficiency of the label installation operation and becoming a major cause of increased costs.

[0068] Therefore, the inventors of this application continued to conduct in-depth research and further investigated other reasons why the dispensing operation was not completely completed due to the linear portions 2 of the ring pins 700 becoming entangled with each other, or why the ring pins 700 could not be removed from the device body 10. It was found that after the insertion head 3 was dispensing outward using the first dispensing pin 16, when the first dispensing pin 16 retracted to its original position, during the period before the linear portions 2 of the first dispensing ring pin 700 were removed from the insertion head insertion port 53, the insertion head 3' of the next ring pin 700' located above it descended, and the linear portions 2 of the ring pin 700 remaining in the insertion head insertion port 53 were clamped, preventing the dispensing of the completed ring pin 700 from the device body 10. Simultaneously, it was also found that the next ring pin 700' could not be dispensing.

[0069] That is, such as Figure 21 As illustrated, once the insertion head 3 is ejected from the hollow guide member 50 by the first ejector pin 16, as the first ejector pin 16 returns to its original position, the insertion head 3' of the next ring pin 700' descends from above into the insertion head insertion port 53 provided in the first guide passage 42. Furthermore, the linear portion 2 of the previously ejected ring pin 700 (shown by the thick black line) becomes the lower pad of the insertion head 3' within the insertion head insertion port 53. This series of actions is the reason why the preceding ring pin 700 cannot be completely ejected from the device body 10. In addition, new problems have been discovered, such as the inability to remove the two intertwined ring pins 700 and 700' from the device body 10, and the inability to eject the next ring pin 700'.

[0070] In addition, the same problem also occurs in the insertion port of the second guide passage 43 in the locking clip mounting device 510.

[0071] Furthermore, in the main body 10 of the locking clip mounting device 510, if the aforementioned problem occurs, the following operation is performed: the ring pin 700 that cannot engage with the insertion head 3 and the insertion port 5 is manually removed along the pushing direction of the first ejector pin 16, or the ring pin 700 that is entangled with the linear portion of the adjacent ring pin 700' even if the insertion head 3 and the insertion port 5 can engage. However, in the locking clip mounting device 510, there is a curved hollow guide member 20 at the front of the main body 10. Therefore, the operation of removing the entangled ring pins 700 becomes a time-consuming operation with limited workspace, requiring a high degree of concentration and meticulous movements, which has been proven to be a cause of a significant reduction in work efficiency.

[0072] Furthermore, the inventors investigated the reasons why the linear portions 2 of adjacent ring pins 700 become entangled with each other. The results showed that in the locking tab mounting device 510, the gap 70 formed between the first guide passage 42 of the insertion head 3 and the second guide passage 43 of the insertion port 5 is closed by the bottom part 71 (bottom part 72 in the locking tab mounting device 500), causing the linear portions 2 of the multiple ring pins 700 to collide with the bottom part 71 and be pushed upwards. Moreover, it was confirmed that due to the upward pushing action of the linear portions 2 and the frequent up-down and left-right movement of the locking tab mounting device 510 itself within space, adjacent linear portions 2 are easily entangled due to vibration and other influences.

[0073] It was found that when the thread-like part 2 is thin and highly flexible, or when twisted thread is used in the thread-like part 2, the thread-like part 2 is pushed upwards at the bottom part 71 by a greater than expected amount, and deforms and snakes a lot. Therefore, the phenomenon of the thread-like parts 2 getting tangled together occurs with a very high probability.

[0074] Furthermore, it was found that when the linear portion 2 is thin and highly flexible, or when a linear body is used in the linear portion 2, when the insertion head 3 and insertion port 5 of the ring pin 700 are pushed forward toward the fitting portion 54, the linear portion 2 of the next ring pin 700 is dragged forward by the movement of the linear portion 2 of the preceding ring pin 700, and the adjacent linear portions 2 further intertwine with each other.

[0075] The inventors of this application have conducted further in-depth research, which has solved the problems of the prior art and provided a technology for effectively, quickly and accurately installing desired locking pieces onto desired products.

[0084] Patent Document 7: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2010-126176 Summary of the Invention

[0085] Therefore, the first objective of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above by providing a locking clip mounting device that can effectively prevent the linear portions of adjacent ring pins from tangling with each other, and can easily, quickly and efficiently install labels, etc. using the ring pins.

[0086] Furthermore, a second objective of the present invention is to provide a locking pin mounting device that enables easy removal of the ring pin from the device body even when the ring pin cannot be completely ejected from the device body.

[0087] Furthermore, a third objective of the present invention is to provide a preferred ring pin for use in a locking tab mounting device in order to achieve the above objective.

[0088] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and achieve the purpose, the locking piece mounting device of the present invention uses a ring pin to install the locking piece. The ring pin has an insertion head with an engagement portion at one end of a flexible linear body portion having a predetermined length, and an insertion port portion with a hole portion at the other end of the linear body portion. The hole portion is provided with a locking portion for irreversibly inserting and engaging the engagement portion of the insertion head.

[0089] Furthermore, the locking clip mounting device includes: a handle rod, rotatably supported on a handle portion provided in the main body of the device; a drive arm, which swings via the handle rod; a first guide passage disposed within the main body of the device, extending from near the rear end to the front end of the main body along the long side of the main body; a second guide passage, spaced apart from the first guide passage by a predetermined interval and disposed approximately parallel to the first guide passage, extending from near the rear end to the front end of the main body; and a curved hollow guide member, formed in a curved shape, with one end connected to the front opening of the second guide passage and the other end disposed on the ejection direction line of the insertion head.

[0090] Furthermore, in the locking plate mounting device, a first ejector pin is provided in the first guide passage that reciprocates linearly in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm, and a second ejector pin, which is made of a flexible component, is provided in the second guide passage that reciprocates in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm.

[0091] Furthermore, in the locking clip mounting device, the first ejector pin is configured to abut against the insertion head of the ring pin supplied to the first guide passage. In response to the action of the handle lever, the insertion head is ejected in a straight line toward the engagement portion with the insertion port. The second ejector pin is configured to abut against the insertion port of the ring pin supplied to the second guide passage. In response to the action of the handle lever, the insertion port is moved to the engagement portion with the insertion head via a curved hollow guide member. The first ejector pin and the second ejector pin engage the insertion head with the insertion port in the engagement portion.

[0092] Furthermore, in the locking clip mounting device, the feature is that a space opening portion with a predetermined distance and open to the top and bottom is provided between the wall surface including the first guide passage and the wall surface including the second guide passage, or a space opening portion with a predetermined distance and open to the front, top and bottom is provided.

[0093] Furthermore, the ring pin of the present invention has an insertion head with a locking portion at one end of a flexible linear body portion having a predetermined length, and an insertion port portion with a hole portion at the other end of the linear body portion, the hole portion having a locking portion for irreversibly inserting and engaging the locking portion of the insertion head.

[0094] Furthermore, it is characterized in that one end of the linear body is connected to the insertion head in a manner orthogonal to the direction of the central axis of the insertion head, and the other end of the linear body is connected to the socket portion relative to the surface where the hole is formed in a manner orthogonal to the direction of the central axis of the socket portion.

[0095] The locking tab mounting device and ring pins of this invention offer superior operability compared to existing locking tab mounting devices and effectively prevent the linear portions of adjacent ring pins from tangling. Therefore, the chance of tangling is reduced, and even if tangling does occur, it can be easily eliminated. Furthermore, tangled ring pins can be easily and quickly removed from the locking tab mounting device, thus improving the efficiency of the locking tab mounting operation and resulting in increased productivity and cost reduction.

[0121] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, specific examples relating to the locking tab mounting device of the present invention and the preferred ring pin used in the locking tab mounting device will be described in detail. Furthermore, in the specification and drawings of this application, elements that can be described in the same way are sometimes omitted from repeated description by using the same reference numerals.

[0122] First, refer to Figures 1 to 9 Preferred embodiments of the locking tab mounting devices 100 and 110 according to the present invention will be described in detail below. Furthermore, regarding the locking tab mounting devices 100 and 110 and the ring pin 1 according to the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements as those in the conventional locking tab mounting devices 500 and 510 and the ring pin 700.

[0123] That is, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the locking clip mounting devices 100 and 110 of the present invention are provided with: a handle 12, which is rotatably supported on a handle portion 11 provided on the main body 10 of the device; and a drive arm 13, which swings via the handle 12 (see reference). Figure 12 (A), (B)); First guide passage 42, disposed within the device body 10, extends from near the rear end 40 to the front end 41 of the device body 10 along the long side direction; Second guide passage 43, disposed approximately parallel to the first guide passage 42 at a predetermined interval, extends from near the rear end 40 to the front end 41 of the device body 10; Hollow guide member 50, formed in a cylindrical shape, one end connected to the front opening of the first guide passage 42; and curved hollow guide member 20, formed in a curved shape, one end connected to the front opening of the second guide passage 43, the other end of which is disposed on the ejection direction line of the insertion head 3 of the ring pin 1 described later.

[0124] Furthermore, a first ejector pin 16 is provided in the first guide passage 42, which slides linearly back and forth in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm 13. In addition, a second ejector pin 19, which is made of a flexible member, is provided in the second guide passage 43, which slides back and forth in response to the swinging motion of the drive arm 13.

[0125] like Figure 24 As shown, the aforementioned ring pin 1 has an insertion head 3 with a locking portion 4 at one end 60 of the flexible linear body portion 2 having a predetermined length. Furthermore, an insertion port portion 5 with a hole portion 7 is provided at the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2, and the hole portion 7 is provided with a locking portion 6 for irreversibly inserting and engaging the insertion head 3.

[0126] The first ejector pin 16 is configured to abut against the insertion head 3 of the ring pin 1 supplied to the first guide passage 42. In response to the action of the handle 12, the insertion head 3 is discharged in a straight line through the hollow guide member 50 to the fitting portion 54 with the insertion port 5.

[0127] The second ejector pin 19 is configured to abut against the insertion portion 5 of the ring pin 1 supplied into the second guide passage 43. In response to the movement of the handle 12, the insertion portion 5 is moved via the curved hollow guide member 20 to the engagement portion 54 with the insertion head 3. Furthermore, the first ejector pin 16 and the second ejector pin 19 engage the insertion head 3 with the insertion portion 5 in the engagement portion 54.

[0128] In addition, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the locking tab mounting devices 100 and 110 of the present invention remove the bottom parts 71 and 72 of the gap 70 formed in the existing locking tab mounting devices 500 and 510, and provide a space opening 200 with a predetermined distance between the wall surface including the first guide passage 42 and the wall surface including the second guide passage 43, which is open to the front, the top and the bottom.

[0129] In addition, Figure 1 In the locking clip mounting device 100 shown, the first guide passage 42 and the second guide passage 43 are formed on the same horizontal plane, but it can also be as follows: Figure 11 As shown in the specific example of the locking tab mounting device 110, the first guide passage 42 and the second guide passage 43 are formed on horizontal planes with different heights.

[0130] The following description of the characteristic structure and operation of the locking tab mounting device according to the present invention mainly refers to... Figure 4 The locking tab mounting device 110 shown is described in general terms.

[0131] also, Figure 1 The structure of the locking tab mounting device 100 and the drive mechanisms of each component shown are substantially the same as those of the first guide passage 42 and the second guide passage 43, except that they are formed on the same horizontal plane. Figure 4 same.

[0132] For example, according to existing locking clip mounting devices 500 and 510, such as Figure 10 or Figure 11As shown, the gap 70 formed between the sidewall surface including the first guide passage 42 and the sidewall surface including the second guide passage 43 has planar or inclined bottom parts 71 and 72. Furthermore, as described above, the highly flexible linear body parts 2 constituting each ring pin 700 are arranged in a curved shape, and in a multi-layered state where these curved parts are stacked on top of each other, they are always or irregularly in contact with the bottom parts 71 and 72 inside the gap 70. Moreover, the curved parts of the stacked adjacent linear body parts 2 are displaced and moved relative to each other due to continuous or intermittent forces or vibrations from the bottom parts 71 and 72, and sometimes even jump up. Through such actions, the linear body parts 2 become entangled with each other, thus hindering the smooth sliding and movement of each ring pin 700, resulting in undesirable situations such as the ring pin 700 not being completely ejected or the ring pin 700 being unable to be removed from the device body 10.

[0133] To improve this situation, the inventors of this application removed the planar or inclined bottom parts 71 and 72 of the gap 70 constituting the existing locking tab mounting devices 500 and 510, and formed a space opening 200 (not shown) in the locking tab mounting device 110 that opens above and below the device body 10, or as... Figure 4 The diagram shows a space opening 200 that opens to the front, top, and bottom of the device body 10. Furthermore, in this invention, from an operational efficiency perspective, it is preferable to provide a space opening 200 that opens to the front, top, and bottom of the device body 10.

[0134] The width, depth, and vertical length of the open space 200 are not particularly limited, but the open space 200 preferably extends from the upper end face to the lower end face of the main body 10 in a generally vertical state. In this case, when the locking tab mounting device 110 is viewed from above, the cross-sectional shape of the open space 200 is rectangular.

[0135] Furthermore, in the locking tab mounting device 110 according to the present invention, from Figures 4-7 It is understood that it is preferable to also provide an opening on the front end 41 side of the device body 10. In this case, when viewing the locking tab mounting device 110 from above, the cross-sectional shape of the space opening 200 is a U-shape with a front opening.

[0136] In the locking tab mounting device 110 according to the present invention, by adopting the above-described structure, the conventional problems can be reliably improved in the curved linear body portion 2 formed by the ring pins 1 of each ring pin assembly 9. As a result, the ring pin 1 can be ejected while reliably maintaining a neat stacked state. Thus, the problems of incomplete completion of the ring pin ejection operation or inability to remove the ring pin from the device body 10 can be solved.

[0137] That is, in the prior art, if the above-mentioned problem occurs and it is desired to remove the ring pin 700 which is abnormally engaged (hereinafter referred to as abnormal engagement) from the device body 10, the bottom part 71 or 72 of the gap 70 becomes an obstacle, and the ring pin 1 can only be manually pulled out toward the front end 41 side of the device body 10.

[0138] However, in this method of removing improperly fitted ring pins 700 by moving them in a direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction, the linear body 2 forming the curved portions of adjacent ring pins 700 becomes increasingly entangled and difficult to pull out. As a result, after temporarily stopping the ejection operation and removing the ring pin assembly 9 from the device body 10, it is necessary to manually remove the improperly fitted or non-fitting ring pins 700, resulting in inefficient correction work.

[0139] In contrast, in this invention, as described above, the locking tab mounting device 110 is provided with a space opening 200, so that even if the ring pins 1 become entangled, the improperly engaged ring pins 1 can be manually pulled out from the lower opening end of the space opening 200. Therefore, the ring pins 1 can be easily separated and removed from the locking tab mounting device 110.

[0140] In the structure of this invention, with the curved linear body portions 2 arranged in multiple layers, the abnormally fitted ring pin 1 can be pulled out parallel along the stacking direction, so that the linear body portions 2 will not be further entangled and the pulling-out and removal operation can be easily performed.

[0141] Furthermore, the flexible linear portion 2 of the ring pin 1 used in the locking clip mounting device 110 according to the present invention is preferably made of plastic fine thread or a linear body. In addition, the linear portion 2 of the ring pin 1 is preferably made of a material selected from one of the following groups: twisted linear body made of natural or synthetic fibers, braided tape, braided rope, paper tape, paper twist, plant fiber linear body, or a combination of these materials.

[0142] In particular, in this invention, it is preferable to use a linear body portion 2 with the lowest possible environmental impact. From this point of view, it is preferable to use a linear body portion 2 made of natural raw materials as the linear body portion 2 used in this invention.

[0143] Furthermore, regarding the locking tab mounting device in this invention, Figures 4 to 6 The locking tab mounting device 110 shown has been described, but as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the same effect is also obtained in the locking piece mounting device 100 where the horizontal plane formed by the first guide passage 42 and the horizontal plane formed by the second guide passage 43 are on the same plane.

[0144] Next, further in-depth research was conducted on improvements to the operation of the locking clip mounting device and techniques to prevent abnormal engagement. As a result, to prevent abnormal engagement, such as... Figure 8 As shown, within the curved portion of each linear body part 2 mounted in the annular pin 1 of the device body 10, a long strip-shaped guide member 300 of predetermined length is arranged in the through-space opening 200 along or approximately along the vertical axis of the device body 10. This results in a more desirable effect.

[0145] The material constituting the guide member 300 is not particularly limited. Furthermore, its placement position is arbitrary as long as it is configured to contact the inner side of the curved portion of each linear body part 2.

[0146] Furthermore, the guide member 300 is preferably held at the other end, i.e., the front end 303, of the support member 302, which holds one end 301 near the front end 41 of the device body 10 and extends from one end 301 within the space opening 200.

[0147] The length of the guide member 300 formed above the support member 302 is preferably the same as or longer than the length of the connecting rods 8, 8' that hold the ring pin assembly 9 in the long strip direction.

[0148] Furthermore, the length of the guide member 300 formed in the portion lower than the support member 302 is preferably set to the length when multiple ring pins 1 are arranged in parallel.

[0149] Figure 9 This schematically illustrates the installation of the ring pin assembly 9 on... Figure 8 A perspective view of the state of the locking plate mounting device 110 shown.

[0150] Furthermore, for the ring pin assembly 9 mounted on the locking tab mounting device 110 according to the present invention, the linear body portions 2 will not become entangled with each other due to irregular oscillations such as various movements, displacements, and vibrations during operation, further promoting stabilization. Therefore, as Figure 23 As illustrated, it is preferable to provide an auxiliary engaging unit 305 near the rear end 40 of the device body 10, which can engage the front end portion of the guide member 300, thereby forcibly holding the guide member 300 in a bent state.

[0151] Next, in the research aimed at solving the problems of the prior art, considering that improvements to the ring pin 1 were also essential in addition to the structure of the locking tab mounting device 110, this aspect was also studied in depth. Ultimately, a ring pin 1 with a structure suitable for use with the locking tab mounting device 110 was successfully developed.

[0152] That is, a ring pin 1 that can be used effectively and efficiently when mounted on the locking tab mounting device 110 according to the present invention has been successfully developed. As a structure of the ring pin 1 that can be used effectively and efficiently, an insertion head 3 with an engaging portion 4 is provided at one end 60 of the linear body portion 2, and an insertion port portion 5 with a hole portion 7 is provided at the other end 30. The hole portion 7 is provided with a locking portion 6 for irreversibly inserting and engaging the insertion head 3. At this time, one end 60 of the linear body portion 2 is connected to the insertion head 3 in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P of the insertion head 3, and on the other hand, the other end 30 is connected to the insertion port portion 5 relative to the surface 205 where the hole portion 7 is formed in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P' of the insertion port portion 5.

[0153] Furthermore, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the structure of the ring pin 1 according to the present invention will be described in more detail. A preferred structure of the ring pin 1 is as follows: Figure 24 As shown, a insertion head 3 with a locking portion 4 is provided at one end 60 of a flexible linear body portion 2 having a predetermined length. Furthermore, a socket portion 5 with a hole portion 7 is provided at the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2. This hole portion 7 has a locking portion 6 for irreversibly inserting and engaging the insertion head 3. At this time, one end 60 of the linear body portion 2 is connected to the insertion head 3 in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P of the insertion head 3. On the other hand, the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2 is connected to the socket portion 5 relative to the surface 205 where the hole portion 7 is formed, in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P' of the socket portion 5.

[0154] Furthermore, in the ring pin 1 according to the present invention, it is only necessary to connect the ends of the linear body portion 2 as described above, and there are no other particular limitations. That is, as long as the ends of the linear body portion 2 are connected as described above, the connection point can be selected at any point within this range (see reference). Figure 24 (2, 2'). Additionally, for example, when the linear portion 2 is a highly flexible linear body comprising a twisted thread made of natural or synthetic fibers, such as a braided tape, rope, paper tape, paper twist, or plant fiber thread, the end of the linear portion 2 is preferably connected to a thread made of natural or synthetic fibers. Figure 24 The solid lines indicate the connection points. By adopting this structure, high-speed and continuous ejection of pin 1 can be achieved.

[0155] On the other hand, when the linear body portion 2 is composed of a fine thread made of synthetic resin, the end of the linear body portion 2 is preferably made of... Figure 24 The dashed lines indicate the parts that are connected.

[0156] Furthermore, one end 60 of the linear body portion 2 is connected to the insertion head 3 in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P of the insertion head 3, while the other end 30 of the linear body portion 2 is connected to the socket portion 5 in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P' of the socket portion 5 relative to the surface 205 where the hole portion 7 is formed. This improves... Figure 21 One of the problems of the prior art described herein is that, since the linear body 2 of the previously ejected ring pin becomes the lower pad of the insertion head 3' of the next ejected ring pin within the insertion head inlet 53, the problem of not being able to completely eject the previous ring pin from the device body 10 can be solved.

[0157] The reason is that the linear body 2 connected to the insertion head 3 is installed in a manner orthogonal to the central axis direction P of the insertion head 3 (see reference). Figure 24 That is, such as Figure 22 As shown, this avoids the linear body portion 2 being introduced into the insertion head inlet 53 of the first guide passage 42 due to the influence of the linear shape Q of the orthogonally connected portion and its vicinity. Furthermore, according to... Figure 24 The structure shown has a curved body 2 with higher strength than that of the prior art, thus enabling the curved portion of the linear body 2 to be more firmly stabilized.

[0158] Furthermore, the linear portion 2 of the ring pin 1 according to the present invention preferably has moderate flexibility. Moreover, the linear portion 2 with moderate flexibility is preferably made of fine plastic thread or a general linear body. Furthermore, the linear portion 2 of the ring pin 1 according to the present invention is preferably made of a material selected from the group consisting of linear bodies made of natural or synthetic fibers, braided tape, braided rope, paper tape, paper twist, and plant fiber linear bodies, or a material combining these materials.

[0159] Furthermore, from the perspective of performing the label installation operation, it is more preferable that the ring pin 1 according to the present invention forms a ring pin assembly 9 by making the linear body portion 2 straight and arranging adjacent linear body portions 2 parallel to each other. For example, as Figure 25As shown, each of the insertion heads 3 of the multiple ring pins 1 in the ring pin assembly 9 is connected via a connecting rod portion 111 to a long strip-shaped connecting rod 8 (also called a connecting rod) having an arbitrary cross-sectional shape. The connecting rod portion 111 is configured to have an arbitrary shape and is easily damaged by a small external force. On the other hand, each of the insertion portions 5 of the multiple ring pins 1 is connected via a connecting rod portion 111' to a long strip-shaped connecting rod 8' (also called a connecting rod) having an arbitrary cross-sectional shape. The connecting rod portion 111' is configured to have an arbitrary shape and is easily damaged by a small external force.

[0160] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention fundamentally eliminates the cause of the linear parts in the ring pin becoming entangled, which is a problem in the prior art, through structural improvements to the locking plate mounting device and the ring pin structure, and theoretically realizes a technology that makes the ring pin ejection operation perfect.
