[0033] [First Implementation]

[0034] based on Figures 1 to 7 The first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the rope stopper 1 of this embodiment includes a first member 10 and a second member 20 that are combined with each other. The rope stopper 1 is configured to be fixed to any two portions (first portion 91 and second portion 92) of the rope 9 (see reference). Figure 1 It can move along the length of rope 9 by being pressed by the user (see reference). Figure 2 Furthermore, the rope stopper 1 in this embodiment is not particularly limited and can be used to adjust the length of the rope 9 of clothing, bags, or small items.

[0036] In the following description, for convenience, mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z directions are used. The width direction of the rope stopper 1 is defined as the X direction, the length direction of the rope stopper 1 as the Y direction, and the thickness direction of the rope stopper 1 as the Z direction. Furthermore, the Y direction corresponds to the mutual combination direction of the first component 10 and the second component 20, and the Z direction corresponds to the rope penetration direction relative to the rope stopper 1, i.e., the rope penetration direction.

[0037] [Structure of component 1 and component 20]

[0038] Component 10 and component 20 are identical parts with the same shape. Hereinafter, as an example, refer to... Figures 3-6 The structure of the first component 10 will be described. Figures 3-5This represents the first component 10 before assembly. Figure 6 This represents the first component 10 and the second component 20 after they are combined.

[0039] Furthermore, in the rope stopper 1, the second member 20 has a configuration that reverses the first member 10 in both the X and Y directions. Therefore, by replacing the first digit of the reference numerals indicating the constituent elements of the first member 10 from "1" to "2", and by reversing the positive and negative values ​​of the X and Y directions, descriptions related to the structure of the first member 10 can be applied to the structure of the second member 20.

[0040] The first component 10 includes a base 11, a socket portion 12 provided on the base 11, a plug portion 13 provided on the base 11 in an X-direction arrangement relative to the socket portion 12, and an arm portion 14 extending from the plug portion 13. Furthermore, the socket portion 12 forms an internal space 120 for receiving the plug portion 23 of the second component 20, which is to be assembled, and the plug portion 13 is received in the internal space 220 of the socket portion 22 of the second component 20, which is to be assembled.

[0041] The base 11 has a generally plate-shaped form. The base 11 has an upper surface 111 facing the Y direction (+Y direction), a guide bottom surface 112 facing the Y direction relative to the interior space 120 of the socket portion 12 (-Y direction), and a stop surface 113 facing the -Y direction around the plug portion 13. The upper surface 111 is an operating surface that receives pressure from the user. The guide bottom surface 112 guides the arm portion 24 of the assembly. The stop surface 113 can restrict the movement of the first member 10 and the second member 20 in the approach direction by abutting against the edge of the insertion port 221 of the socket portion 22 of the assembly. Furthermore, the upper surface 111, the guide bottom surface 112, and the stop surface 113 are inclined relative to the X direction in a manner that the side facing the X direction (-X direction) is more inclined towards the +Y direction.

[0042] The socket portion 12 is provided to protrude from the base 11 in the -Y direction. This socket portion 12 not only forms the aforementioned internal space 120, but also forms an insertion port 121 and an opening portion 122 communicating with the internal space 120. The insertion port 121 receives the plug portion 23 of the assembled object along the Y direction, and the opening portion 122 opens the internal space 120 towards the plug portion 13 in the X direction. In this embodiment, the insertion port 121 and the opening portion 122 are formed to be continuous with each other.

[0043] Specifically, the socket portion 12 includes: a pair of wall portions 123, 124 which are opposite to each other in the Z direction across the internal space 120; and a side portion 127 which faces the internal space 120 and connects the pair of wall portions 123, 124.

[0044] A first rope through hole 125 extending along the Z direction is formed in each of the pair of wall portions 123 and 124. The first rope through holes 125 of wall portion 123 and wall portion 124 are paired and face each other in the Z direction across the internal space 120. The cross-sectional shape of the first rope through hole 125 is not particularly limited, for example, it is circular.

[0045] Additionally, a concave guide groove 126 is formed at the edge of the insertion port 121 in one of the pair of wall portions 123, 124. The guide groove 126 guides the insertion of the plug portion 23 (specifically, the protrusion 234 described later) of the assembled object.

[0046] Side portion 127 is opposite to open portion 122 and forms part of the outer edge of rope stopper 1. Side portion 127 has a guide side 128 as part of an inner surface that guides the insertion of arm portion 24 of the assembled object. Guide side 128 is inclined relative to the Y direction in a manner that the more it is towards the +Y direction, the more it is towards the -X direction.

[0047] Additionally, the side portion 127 has an outer surface 129 arranged along the Z direction. For example... Figure 6 As shown, with the outer side 129 as a reference, the upper surface 111 of the base 11 is not perpendicular to the outer side 129, but has an inclination angle θ1 greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Additionally, the guide bottom surface 112 is also not perpendicular to the outer side 129, and has an inclination angle θ2 greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Furthermore, the guide side surface 128 is not parallel to the outer side 129, and has an inclination angle θ3 smaller than 90 degrees. This inclination angle θ3 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 45 degrees or less.

[0048] Furthermore, preferably, the guide bottom surface 112 and the guide side surface 128 are not orthogonal, and the angle θ4 between them is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. In addition, it is preferable to form a concave rounded corner surface 114 between the guide bottom surface 112 and the guide side surface 128.

[0049] The plug portion 13 is disposed on the -X side relative to the socket portion 12 and is provided to protrude from the base portion 11 in the -Y direction. Specifically, the plug portion 13 has a plug body portion 131 having a generally plate-shaped shape and a pair of protrusions 134 protruding from both sides of the plug body portion 131 in the Z direction.

[0050] A second cord penetration hole 135 extending along the Z direction is formed in the plug body portion 131. The cross-sectional shape of the second cord penetration hole 135 is not particularly limited, for example, it is circular. In this embodiment, the diameter of the second cord penetration hole 135 is smaller than the diameter of the first cord penetration hole 125, but it is not limited thereto.

[0051] Additionally, the plug body 131 has an inner end portion 132 disposed on the other side (+X side) in the X direction and an outer end portion 133 disposed on the -X side. The inner end portion 132 is exposed to the +X side from the socket portion 22 of the assembled object via the opening portion 222. The outer end portion 133 corresponds to the end of the plug portion 13 that is separated from the socket portion 12 in the X direction.

[0052] A pair of protrusions 134 are respectively provided on the -Z side or +Z side of the plug body portion 131 at a position closer to the -Y side than the second cord penetration hole 135. The protrusions 134 are disposed within the first cord penetration hole 225 of the socket portion 22 of the assembled object, and the protrusions 134 can restrict the movement of the first member 10 and the second member 20 in the separation direction by engaging with the edge of the first cord penetration hole 225 (see reference). Figure 1 , Figure 2 ).

[0053] Arm 14 extends from the outer end portion 133 of plug portion 13. Arm 14 has a tip portion 141 that slidably contacts the base portion 21 of the assembled object and a base end portion 142 that connects to the outer end portion 133 of plug portion 13. The specific shape of arm 14 is not particularly limited; in this embodiment, arm 14 has a rod shape before assembly, extending linearly from the outer end portion 133 of plug portion 13 along the Y direction (see reference). Figures 3-5 Additionally, the arm 14 elastically deforms in an arc-shaped flexing manner after assembly (see reference). Figure 6 ).

[0054] A groove 136 is formed between the plug body portion 131 and the base end portion 142 of the arm portion 14, opening in the -Y direction and extending through in the Z direction. The groove 136 has a shape that extends towards the opening side. In the first member 10, the groove 136 is formed to separate the plug body portion 131 and the base end portion 142 of the arm portion 14 in the X direction.

[0055] (Assembly of rope stopper 1)

[0056] The assembly method of the rope stopper 1 will be described. Furthermore, the first component 10 and the second component 20 can be integrally molded from resin material, and can utilize the same mold for each other.

[0057] like Figure 6As shown, the operator or assembly device inserts the arm 14 of the first component 10 into the socket 22 of the second component 20, which is to be assembled, and inserts the arm 24 of the second component 20 into the socket 12 of the first component 10, which is to be assembled. Then, a pressure is applied to the first component 10 and the second component 20 to bring them closer together in the Y direction. As a result, the plug 13 of the first component 10 is inserted into the socket 22 of the second component 20, and the plug 23 of the second component 20 is inserted into the socket 12 of the first component 10. As a result, the first component 10 and the second component 20 are assembled.

[0058] The following is a detailed description of the operation when the plug 13 is inserted into the socket 22. Furthermore, the following description can be applied to the operation when the plug 23 is inserted into the socket 12 by reversing the positive and negative directions of the X and Y directions.

[0059] When the plug portion 13 is inserted into the socket portion 22, the pair of protrusions 134 of the plug portion 13 are guided by the guide grooves 226 of the socket portion 22 and positioned within the pair of first rope through holes 225 of the socket portion 22. Thus, the protrusions 134 can engage with the edges of the first rope through holes 225, functioning as anti-detachment components to prevent the first member 10 and the second member 20 from falling off each other.

[0060] Furthermore, when the plug portion 13 is inserted into the socket portion 22, the tip portion 141 of the arm portion 14 is guided sequentially by the guide side 228 of the socket portion 22 and the guide bottom surface 212 of the base portion 21, moving further towards the -Y direction and further towards the +X direction. At this time, when a bending stress is applied to the arm portion 14, the arm portion 14 elastically deforms by deflecting inward in the X direction. In addition, when the plug portion 13 is fully inserted into the socket portion 22, the arm portion 14 undergoes plastic deformation corresponding to the amount of external force exceeding the yield point. Afterward, if the pressure on the first member 10 and the second member 20 is released, the amount of plastic deformation of the arm portion 14 remains the same, but the amount of elastic deformation of the arm portion 14 is restored.

[0061] Thus, the first component 10 and the second component 20 are combined to form the rope stopper 1. In this rope stopper 1, the plug portion 13 is inserted into the socket portion 22 in the -Y direction via the insertion port 221, and the plug portion 23 is inserted into the socket portion 12 in the +Y direction via the insertion port 121.

[0062] (Action of the rope stopper)

[0063] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The operation of the rope stopper is explained. Rope stopper 1... Figure 1 , Figure 6The rope shown is in a fixed state as a reference state, and can change to... Figure 2 , Figure 7 The rope is shown in its released state. Furthermore, in Figure 6 , Figure 7 The diagram of rope 9 is omitted in the text.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, in the rope-fixed state of the rope stopper 1, the base 11 of the first member 10 and the socket 22 of the second member 20 are separated from each other in the Y direction, and the base 21 of the second member 20 and the socket 12 of the first member 10 are separated from each other in the Y direction. At this time, the protrusions 134 and 234 of the plug portions 13 and 23 can engage with the edges of the first rope through holes 225 and 125 of the socket portions 22 and 12 of the assembled object.

[0065] When the rope stopper 1 is in the rope-fixed state, the operator applies pressure to the upper surfaces 111 and 211 of the bases 11 and 21, thereby bringing the first component 10 and the second component 20 closer together. At this time, the plug portion 13 is deeply inserted into the socket portion 22, and the tip portion 141 of the arm portion 14 abuts against the guide bottom surface 212 of the base 21 and slides relative to the guide bottom surface 212 toward the plug portion 23 in the X direction. In addition, the plug portion 23 is deeply inserted into the socket portion 12, and the tip portion 241 of the arm portion 24 abuts against the guide bottom surface 112 of the base 11 and slides relative to the guide bottom surface 112 toward the plug portion 13 in the X direction. As a result, the arms 14 and 24 elastically deform in a manner that flexes inward toward the X direction.

[0066] When the first component 10 and the second component 20 are closest, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the rope stopper 1 is in the rope-released state. At this time, the plug portions 13 and 23 are fully inserted into the socket portions 22 and 12 of the assembled object. In addition, the base portions 11 and 21 may also abut against the edges of the socket portions 22 and 12 of the assembled object.

[0067] When the rope stopper 1 is in the rope release state, the second rope through hole 135 of the plug portion 13 overlaps with the pair of first rope through holes 225 of the socket portion 22 in the Z direction, and the second rope through hole 235 of the plug portion 23 overlaps with the pair of first rope through holes 125 of the socket portion 12 in the Z direction. In this state, any first portion 91 of the rope 9 can freely pass through the pair of first rope through holes 125 and second rope through holes 235, and any second portion 92 of the rope 9 can freely pass through the pair of first rope through holes 225 and second rope through holes 135.

[0068] Furthermore, in the released state, the arm 14 applies a force to the plug 13 in the +Y direction through elastic force, and the arm 24 applies a force to the plug 23 in the -Y direction through elastic force.

[0069] If the operator releases the pressure, the first component 10 and the second component 20 separate due to the elastic force of the arms 14 and 24. That is, the plug 13 moves in the direction of being pulled out from the socket 22, and the plug 23 moves in the direction of being pulled out from the socket 12. As a result, the rope stopper 1 returns to the rope fixed state.

[0070] Furthermore, in the rope-fixed state of the rope stopper 1, compared to the rope-released state, the overlap area between the second rope through hole 135 of the plug portion 13 and the first rope through hole 225 of the socket portion 22 is reduced, and the overlap area between the second rope through hole 235 of the plug portion 23 and the first rope through hole 125 of the socket portion 12 is also reduced. Therefore, the edges of each pair of first rope through holes 125 and the edges of the second rope through holes 235 can clamp the first portion 91 of the rope 9 between each other, and the edges of each pair of first rope through holes 225 and the edges of the second rope through holes 135 can clamp the second portion 92 of the rope 9 between each other.

[0071] [Effects of this implementation method]

[0072] As described above, the rope stopper 1 of this embodiment includes a first component 10 and a second component 20 that are combined with each other. The first component 10 and the second component 20 respectively include: bases 11 and 21; sockets 12 and 22, which are provided on the bases 11 and 21 and have a pair of first rope through holes 125 and 225 opposite each other in the rope through direction (Z direction); plugs 13 and 23, which are provided on the bases 11 and 21 in a width direction (X direction) that intersects the Z direction relative to the sockets 12 and 22 and have second rope through holes 135 and 235; and arms 14 and 24, which... Extending from the plug portions 13 and 23, the plug portions 13 and 23 of the first member 10 and the second member 20 are inserted relative to the socket portions 22 and 12 of the first member 10 or the second member 20 as the assembly object along the assembly direction (Y direction) that intersects the X direction and the Z direction respectively. The second rope through holes 135 and 235 of the first member 10 and the second member 20 communicate with a pair of first rope through holes 225 and 125 in the assembly object. In each of the first member 10 and the second member 20, the arms 14 and 24 abut against the bases 21 and 11 of the assembly object and elastically apply force to the plug portions 13 and 23.

[0073] In this structure, the first component 10 and the second component 20 constituting the rope stopper 1 have the same shape. Therefore, when manufacturing the first component 10 and the second component 20, the same mold can be used, and it is not necessary to manage them according to the type of component. In addition, the conventional work of assembling spring components is not required. Therefore, the rope stopper 1 according to this embodiment can reduce the manufacturing time and cost.

[0074] Furthermore, the rope stopper 1 of this embodiment does not require a conventional spring member, thus eliminating the need for space within the rope stopper 1 for the spring member. Therefore, the rope stopper 1 of this embodiment can be miniaturized.

[0075] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the top ends 141 and 241 of the arms 14 and 24 are configured to slide relative to the bases 21 and 11 of the assembled object in the X direction.

[0076] With this structure, the arms 14 and 24 can be elastically deformed by being pressed down by the bases 21 and 11, resulting in the plugs 13 and 23 being able to be inserted deeper into the sockets 22 and 12. This allows the rope stopper 1 to be appropriately miniaturized in the Y direction.

[0077] In each of the first components 10 and the second components 20 in this embodiment, the arm portions 14 and 24 are connected to the outer ends 133 and 233 of the plug portions 13 and 23 that are separated from the socket portions 12 and 22 in the X direction.

[0078] With this structure, space for elastic deformation of the arm portions 14 and 24 can be ensured in the X direction between the plug portions 13 and 23 and the base portions 21 and 11 of the combined object. As a result, the rope stopper 1 can be appropriately miniaturized in the Y direction.

[0079] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the bases 11 and 21 have guide bottom surfaces 112 and 212 facing the internal spaces 120 and 220 of the socket portions 12 and 22 in the Y direction. The guide bottom surfaces 112 and 212 are inclined relative to the X direction in such a way that the top ends 241 and 141 of the arms 24 and 14 of the assembled object being pressed are guided to one side in the X direction.

[0080] With this structure, when the arms 14 and 24 abut against the bases 21 and 11 of the assembled object, the arms 14 and 24 can be stably elastically deformed. As a result, the operation of the rope stopper 1 can be stabilized.

[0081] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the socket portions 12 and 22 have guide sides 128 and 228 facing the internal spaces 120 and 220 of the socket portions 12 and 22 in the X direction. The guide sides 128 and 228 are inclined relative to the Y direction in such a way that they guide the top ends 241 and 141 of the arms 24 and 14 of the assembled object to one side in the X direction.

[0082] With this structure, the arms 14 and 24 can be stably elastically deformed when the first component 10 and the second component 20 are combined with each other. As a result, the manufacturing of the rope stopper 1 can be stabilized.

[0083] In addition, in this embodiment, the side portions 127 and 227 of the socket portions 12 and 22, which have guide sides 128 and 228, function as support portions in the X direction of the plug portions 13 and 23, and can suppress the swaying of the rope stopper 1.

[0084] In each of the first components 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the socket portions 12 and 22 are provided with a pair of wall portions 123, 124, 223, 224. The pair of wall portions 123, 124, 223, 224 are opposite to each other in the Z direction across the internal spaces 120 and 220 of the socket portions 12 and 22 and form a pair of first rope through holes 125 and 225.

[0085] Based on this structure, the socket parts 12 and 22 can be easily formed.

[0086] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the socket portions 12 and 22 have opening portions 122 and 222 that open the internal spaces 120 and 220 toward the plug portions 13 and 23 in the X direction.

[0087] With this structure, there are no socket portions 12 and 22 between the plug portions 13 and 23, thus enabling miniaturization of the dimensions in the X direction.

[0088] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the plug portions 13 and 23 are configured to abut against the plug portions 23 and 13 of the assembled object in the X direction via the opening portions 122 and 222 of the socket portions 12 and 22.

[0089] With this structure, the swaying that accompanies the movement of the rope stopper 1 can be suppressed.

[0090] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, a groove 136, 236 is formed between the plug portion 13, 23 and the base end portion 142, 242 of the arm portion 14, 24.

[0091] With this structure, the Y-direction dimension of the rope stopper 1 can be suppressed, and the Y-direction length of the arm 14 can be ensured. Therefore, the elastic force of the arm 14 can be appropriately ensured.

[0092] In each of the first component 10 and the second component 20 of this embodiment, the plug portions 13 and 23 include: plug body portions 131 and 231, which have second rope through holes 135 and 235; and protrusions 134 and 234, which protrude from the plug body portions 131 and 231 in the Z direction and engage with the first rope through holes 125 and 225 of the assembled object.

[0093] With this structure, it is possible to prevent the first component 10 and the second component 20 from falling off each other.

[0094] [Second Implementation]

[0095] Reference Figures 8-11 The second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The rope stopper 1A of the second embodiment is a variation of the rope stopper 1 of the first embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, the rope stopper 1A is substantially the same as the first embodiment, and includes a first component 10A and a second component 20A that are combined with each other.

[0096] The following description primarily focuses on the first component 10A. However, by replacing the initial digits of the reference numerals indicating the constituent elements of the first component 10A with "2" and reversing the sign of each direction in the X and Y directions, the description related to the structure of the first component 10A can be applied to the structure of the second component 20A. Furthermore, for structures substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are used, and their descriptions are omitted or simplified.

[0097] like Figure 9 As shown, the first component 10A is substantially the same as the first component 10 of the first embodiment, and includes a base 11, a socket portion 12 provided on the base 11, a plug portion 13 provided on the base 11 in an X direction relative to the socket portion 12, and an arm portion 14A extending from the plug portion 13.

[0098] The base 11 in this embodiment has the same upper surface 111, guide bottom surface 112 and stop surface 113 as in the first embodiment, but each surface may also be arranged parallel to the X direction.

[0099] The socket portion 12 in this embodiment has a pair of wall portions 123 and 124 similar to that in the first embodiment, but it may not have a side portion 127 connecting the pair of wall portions 123 and 124. In addition, the first rope through hole 125 formed in the pair of wall portions 123 and 124 may also have a shape that combines a hole with a circular cross section and a recess that is recessed in the +Y direction from the hole.

[0100] The plug portion 13 in this embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, including a plug body portion 131 and a pair of protrusions 134 protruding from both sides of the plug body portion 131 in the Z direction. A recess 137 is formed in the plug body portion 131 that opens inward in the X direction (i.e., to the socket portion 12 side). This recess 137 forms a space capable of receiving the top end portion 241 of the arm portion 24A of the assembled object, and the inner surface of the recess 137 is continuous with the guide bottom surface 112 of the base portion 11. Furthermore, the recess 137 may overlap with the second cord penetration hole 135 of the plug body portion 131 in the Z direction.

[0101] The arm 14A of this embodiment has a different shape than that of the first embodiment. Specifically, the arm 14A of this embodiment is bent from the outer end 133 of the plug portion 13 toward the inner side in the X direction (i.e., the socket portion 12 side) and toward the -Y direction before assembly (see reference). Figure 9 Additionally, arm 14A elastically deforms by extending in a curved shape after assembly (see reference). Figure 10 ).

[0102] The assembly method and operation of the rope stopper 1A in the second embodiment are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, and it is capable of... Figure 10 The rope fixation state shown is the same as Figure 11 The rope release state is switched as shown. Furthermore, the rope stopper 1A according to the second embodiment can achieve the same effect as the first embodiment.

[0103] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, when the rope stopper 1A transitions from a rope-fixed state to a rope-released state, the top portions 141 and 241 of the arms 14A and 24A slide in the +X direction relative to the guide bottom surfaces 212 and 112 of the base portions 21 and 11 of the assembled object, and insert into the recesses 137 and 237 of the plug portions 13 and 23. At this time, the arms 14A and 24A elastically deform by extending their own curved shapes. In this structure, it is possible to ensure that the elastic force of the arms 14A and 24A is large, and interference between the arms 14A and 24A and the plug portions 13 and 23 can be avoided (see reference). Figure 11 ).

[0104] [Variation Example]

[0105] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and the following modifications are possible.

[0106] In the above embodiments, the arms 14 and 24 may also have other shapes. For example, the arms 14 and 24 may also have a corrugated shape that elastically deforms by abutting against the bases 21 and 11 of the assembled object. In such a variation, the arms 14 and 24 may not slide relative to the bases 21 and 11 of the assembled object.

[0107] In the above embodiments, the arms 14 and 24 may also extend from portions other than the outer ends 133 and 233 of the plug portions 13 and 23. For example, in the first embodiment, the arms 14 and 24 may also extend from the inner ends 132 and 232 of the plug portions 13 and 23. In such a variation, when the first member 10 and the second member 20 approach each other, the arms 14 and 24 may also elastically deform by flexing outward in the X direction.

[0108] In the above embodiments, the socket portions 12 and 22 may also have other shapes. For example, the socket portions 12 and 22 may also be formed as cylindrical portions that receive plug portions 23 and 13 of the assembled object, and the cylindrical portions may also have any cross-sectional shape.

[0109] In the above embodiments, the protrusions 134 and 234 of the plug portions 13 and 23 may also be omitted. In such a variation, the first member 10 and the second member 20 may be prevented from falling off each other by using a rope 9 that passes through the first rope through holes 125 and 225 and the second rope through holes 135 and 235.
