DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of understanding the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features according to the embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined as long as they are not mutually inconsistent.
[0017] Example 1 As shown in FIGS. 1-6, the fastening structure provided in the present invention includes a female 10 and a male 20. The knife 10 has a positioning ring 31 at one end for fixing the knife 10, and a step portion 11 at the other end. A pair of positioning rings 31 are provided on each side of the knife 10. The knife 10 is integrally formed by bending an entire metal strip. The male 20 has a positioning ring 31 at one end for fixing the male 20, and a hook 21 at the other end. A pair of positioning rings 31 are provided on each side of the male 20. The male 20 is integrally formed by bending the entire metal strip. The step portion 11 protrudes in a direction away from the bottom surface of the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10. The male 20 engages with the scalpel 10 by engaging with the step portion 11 via the hook 21. In use, the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10 is located on the side closer to the human body. In other words, the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10 abuts against the back of the human body, and the step portion 11 protrudes in a direction away from the back of the human body.
[0018] Specifically, the female 10 is provided with a step 11 that protrudes away from the back of the human body, and a retraction gap 41 is formed between the step 11 and the back of the human body. When the male 20 engages with the step 11 via the hook 21, the tip of the hook 21 is located in the retraction gap 41 and does not come into contact with the back of the human body, effectively preventing the hook 21 from pressing against the back of the human body and causing discomfort to the human body, resulting in a better overall fit compared to the prior art. In addition, since the step 11 protrudes away from the bottom surface of the positioning ring 31 of the female 10, the hook 21 of the male 20 can be easily inserted into the step 11 when wearing.
[0019] Further, the step portion 11 includes a U-shaped horizontal engagement portion 12 and an inclined portion 13 provided at an incline. The horizontal engagement portion 12 is parallel to the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10. The horizontal engagement portion 12 is connected to the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10 via the inclined portion 13. The horizontal engagement portion 12 is located on the side farther from the bottom surface of the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10. The hook 21 engages with the horizontal engagement portion 12. In the case of flatwise bending, deformation and tearing are likely to occur when subjected to force, which affects the life of the entire underwear. Therefore, by providing the inclined portion 13, it is possible to prevent the formation of a flatwise bend in the scalpel 10, and by reducing the angle α between the horizontal engagement portion 12 and the plane on which the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10 is located, it is possible to prevent the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10 from being pulled excessively in a diagonal direction when the horizontal engagement portion 12 receives force, and one side of the positioning ring 31 of the scalpel 10 from pressing against the back of the human body and causing discomfort.
[0020] Furthermore, an engagement opening 42 is formed between the positioning ring 31 of the male 20 and the hook 21. In order to prevent the male 20 from easily falling off from the female 10, a safety stopper 22 that fits the horizontal engagement portion 12 is provided on one side of the positioning ring 31 of the male 20 toward the hook 21. The hook 21 extends until it faces the positioning ring 31 of the male 20. The safety stopper 22 corresponds to the engagement opening 42. When the male 20 and the female 10 are engaged, the safety stopper 22 aligns with the horizontal engagement portion 12 to restrict the position of the hook 21 to a certain extent, thereby preventing the hook 21 from easily falling off from the horizontal engagement portion 12.
[0021] Furthermore, the axial direction of the safety stopper 22 is the same as the axial direction of the hook 21. An arc-shaped protrusion 23 is formed at the top of the safety stopper 22, and along the axial direction, an arc-shaped smooth transition portion 24 is formed between the positioning ring 31 of the male 20 and the hook 21 on both sides of the safety stopper 22. The arc-shaped smooth transition portion 24 and the arc-shaped protrusion 23 allow the horizontal engagement portion 12 to be fitted relatively smoothly into the hook 21, improving the smoothness of the fitting. Although the arc-shaped smooth transition portion 24 is provided on both sides of the safety stopper 22, it does not affect the position regulation action of the safety stopper 22 and the horizontal engagement portion 12 with respect to the hook 21.
[0022] Furthermore, in order to make it easier for the hook 21 to engage with the flat catch portion, the tip of the hook 21 is provided with a curved portion 25 that curves in a direction away from the engagement opening 42. When the hook 21 is engaged with the horizontal engagement portion 12, the curved portion 25 acts as a guide.
[0023] Furthermore, in order to improve the positioning function, the tip of the hook 21 is bent toward the safety stopper 22, and the rear end of the warped portion 25 forms a narrowed portion 43 in the engagement opening 42 together with the safety stopper 22. The tip of the warped portion 25 forms an outwardly expanding guide portion 44 for guiding engagement in the engagement opening 42 together with the positioning ring 31 of the male 20.
[0024] In addition, in the prior art, when the flat hook formed by flatwise bending is compressed by an external force during wearing, one side of the flat hook is entirely compressed against the back of the human body, that is, the point of action is the entire plane of one side of the flat hook, so the area of the frictional action surface is relatively large, and the feeling of pressure on the back of the human body is strong. By providing the curved portion 25, when compressed by an external force, only one point of action is formed at the tip of the curved portion 25, and the point of action forms a friction point with a relatively small area, so the feeling of pressure on the back of the human body when compressed by an external force is reduced. In addition, when compressed by an external force, there is only a point of action at the tip of the curved portion 25, and when the tip of the curved portion 25 receives a force, the rear end of the curved portion 25 and the semi-arc-shaped part at the rear end of the hook 21 form an effective elastic buffer, and after the external force is removed, the tip of the curved portion 25 recovers due to elastic deformation. The elastic buffering and recovery due to elastic deformation effectively prevent the hook 21 from plastically deforming due to stress, and the service life of the fastening structure is extended.
[0025] 7-10, the back hook for underwear includes a first connecting belt 50, a second connecting belt 60, and the fastening structure. The female 10 is provided on the first connecting belt 50, and the male 20 is provided on the second connecting belt 60.
[0026] Similarly, by providing the female 10 with a step portion 11 that protrudes in a direction away from the back of the human body, a retraction gap 41 is formed between the step portion 11 and the belt body of the first connecting belt 50. When the male 20 engages with the step portion 11 via the hook 21, the tip of the hook 21 is located in the retraction gap 41, so that the hook 21 does not press against the back of the human body, effectively preventing the hook 21 from pressing against the back of the human body and causing discomfort to the human body, and the overall wearing comfort of the back hook for underwear is improved compared to the conventional technology. In addition, since the step portion 11 protrudes in a direction away from the bottom surface of the positioning ring 31 of the female 10, the hook 21 of the male 20 can be easily inserted into the step portion 11 when wearing.
[0027] Furthermore, the females 10 are arranged in multiple rows in an array along the length direction of the first connecting belt 50. The females 10 are fixed to the first connecting belt 50 by a positioning ring 31 and a sewing machine. The first connecting belt 50 is composed of multiple layers of fabric. The positioning ring 31 of the females 10 is covered within the fabric, and the step portion 11 protrudes to the outside of the first connecting belt 50. Multiple sets of males 20 are provided at intervals along the width direction of the second connecting belt 60. The males 20 are fixed to the second connecting belt 60 by a positioning ring 31 and a sewing machine. The safety stoppers 22 push the fabric up onto the second connecting belt 60 to form protruding steppers 61. The outer edges of the first connecting belt 50 and the second connecting belt 60 are rounded by folding the fabric, and soft rounded edges are formed on both sides of the two sets of tips by the rounded corner folding process, thereby preventing sharp edges from being formed on the outer edges that may injure the skin, resulting in a back hook for underwear that is gentle on the skin, and also preventing the outer edges from peeling off due to washing.
[0028] Example 2 This embodiment differs from the above embodiment in the following respects. The females 10 are arranged in a plurality of rows in an array along the length direction of the first connecting belt 50. The females 10 are fixed to the first connecting belt 50 by a positioning ring 31 and a sewing machine. The first connecting belt 50 is made of a plurality of layers of fabric, the positioning ring 31 of the females 10 is covered in the fabric, and the step portion 11 protrudes to the outside of the first connecting belt 50. At positions facing the first connecting belt 50 and the step portion 11, ultrasonic press spots 51 are provided for improving the stability of the females 10 by ultrasonic hot pressing. This prevents the females 10 from slipping out of the protruding holes and the fabric layers from separating. A plurality of pairs of males 20 are provided at intervals along the width direction of the second connecting belt 60. The males 20 are fixed to the second connecting belt 60 by a positioning ring 31 and a sewing machine. The safety stopper 22 pushes the fabric up onto the second connecting belt 60 to form the protruding stepper 61.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Those skilled in the art will recognize that any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
