[0022] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view showing an example of a peg 1 in one embodiment. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of the peg 1.

[0023] 1 and 2, the peg 1 has a shaft portion 10, a first hook portion 11, a second hook portion 12, and a peg holding portion 13. The shaft portion 10 has an elongated shape that is long in the axial direction X. The shaft portion 10 includes a head portion 20 and an insertion portion 21. The head portion 20 is configured to be held by a user when inserting the peg 1, and the insertion portion 21 is configured to be inserted into the ground.

[0024] Fig. 3 shows the AA cross section (shown in Fig. 1) of the head 20 of the peg 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the head 20 has a substantially rectangular cross section. This cross section is taken when the peg 1 is cut on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction X. The head 20 has a first side 30, a second side 31, a third side 32, and a fourth side 33. The head 20 has a substantially rectangular prism shape.

[0025] 1 and 2, the head 20 has a flat rear end surface 20a. The rear end surface 20a of the head 20 is configured so that it can be struck by a hammer or the like when the peg 1 is inserted.

[0026] FIG. 4 shows a BB cross section (shown in FIG. 1) of the insertion portion 21 of the peg 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the insertion portion 21 has a substantially triangular cross section. In the cross section, the insertion portion 21 has a fifth side 40 and a sixth side 41 that form an acute interior angle with each other, and a seventh side 42 that connects the fifth side 40 and the sixth side 41 and curves so as to protrude outward. Thus, the insertion portion 21 has a substantially triangular prism shape. The cross section of the peg 1 smoothly transitions from a substantially triangular shape to a substantially rectangular shape at the transition portion from the insertion portion 21 to the head 20.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the insertion portion 21 has a tapered tip portion 21a.

[0028] The first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 are configured so that a rope can be hooked thereon. The first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 are provided on a first side surface 30 of the head portion 20 of the shaft portion 10. The first side surface 30 is on the same side as the fifth side surface 40 and the sixth side surface 41 of the insertion portion 21, and is the surface that faces downward when the peg 1 is inserted.

[0029] The first hook portion 11 is disposed near the rear end surface 20a of the head portion 20. The second hook portion 12 is disposed adjacent to the first hook portion 11 on the insertion portion 21 side of the first hook portion 11.

[0030] The first hook portion 11 has a first portion 50. The first portion 50 protrudes outward from the first side surface 30 of the shaft portion 10 and then extends toward the tip side of the shaft portion 10. For example, the first portion 50 has a protruding portion 50a that protrudes substantially perpendicularly to the first side surface 30 (direction Y perpendicular to the axial direction X) and an extending portion 50b that extends in the axial direction X from the tip of the protruding portion 50a so as to gradually move away from the first side surface 30 toward the tip side of the shaft portion 10. A surface 50c on the rear end side of the protruding portion 50a is formed so as to be flush with the rear end surface 20a of the head 20 of the shaft portion 10.

[0031] The second hook portion 12 has a second portion 51. The second portion 51 protrudes outward from the first side surface 30 of the shaft portion 10 and then extends toward the tip side of the shaft portion 10. For example, the second portion 51 has a protruding portion 51a that protrudes in a direction slightly inclined toward the tip side from the perpendicular direction Y of the first side surface 30, and an extending portion 51b that extends from the tip of the protruding portion 51a in parallel to the shaft portion 10 in the direction toward the tip of the shaft portion 10.

[0032] The second portion 51 further has a protruding portion 51c protruding toward the first portion 50. The protruding portion 51c faces the extended portion 50b of the first portion 50. A first gap OP1 is formed between the extended portion 50b and the protruding portion 51c, through which the rope passes when the rope is hooked on the first hook portion 11. The first gap OP1 is open in the vertical direction Y.

[0033] A second gap OP2 through which the rope passes when the rope is hooked is formed between the tip of the extension portion 51b of the second part 51 and the shaft portion 10. The second gap OP2 opens toward the tip of the shaft portion 10. A tip 51d of the extension portion 51b of the second part 51 has a tapered shape.

[0034] The peg holding portion 13 is configured to be able to hold the peg 1 when pulling out the peg 1. The peg holding portion 13 has a hole 13a to which a pulling tool is hooked.

[0035] The peg holding portion 13 is provided on a second side surface 31 of the head 20 of the shank 10. The second side surface 31 is the surface opposite to the first side surface 30. The peg holding portion 13 is provided on the opposite side of the shank 10 to the first hook portion 11.

[0036] The peg holding portion 13 has a protruding shape that protrudes outward from the second side surface 31. The peg holding portion 13 has a substantially semicircular shape. The peg holding portion 13 may have a height of 1 cm or more, preferably 2 cm or more and 7 cm or less, in the vertical direction Y from the second side surface 31. A rear end surface 13b of the peg holding portion 13 is formed so as to be flush with a rear end surface 20a of the head 20 of the shank 10. A tip end surface 13c of the peg holding portion 13 is inclined so as to gradually approach the shank 10 as it approaches the tip end of the shank 10.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 5, at least one selected from the group consisting of the first hook portion 11, the second hook portion 12, and the peg holding portion 13 has an index surface 60 that serves as an index of the insertion angle of the peg 1 with respect to the ground G, and the index surface 60 has an angle θ of 45 degrees with respect to the axial direction X of the shaft portion 10. That is, the index surface 60 is formed so as to be perpendicular to the ground G when the peg 1 is inserted into the ground G at an appropriate 45 degrees. The index surface 60 may be provided at a plurality of locations. For example, the index surface 60 may be provided on a surface 60a on the tip side of the extension portion 50b of the first hook portion 11, a surface 60b on the rear end side of the extension portion 50b of the first hook portion 11, a surface 60c on the rear end side of the protruding portion 51a of the second hook portion 12, a surface 60d on the tip side of the protruding portion 51a of the second hook portion 12, and a surface 60e on the tip side of the peg holding portion 13. The index surface 60 may have a length in a direction at 45 degrees to the axial direction X of the shaft portion 10 of 0.5 cm or more, preferably 1 cm or more and 3 cm or less.

[0038] Next, an example of how to use the peg 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the peg 1 is used to fix a plurality of ropes 101 and 102 connected to the tent 100 to the ground G when the tent 100 is set up. As shown in FIG. 7, the first rope 101 is hooked to the first hook portion 11, the second rope 102 is hooked to the second hook portion 12, and the peg 1 is inserted into the ground from the tip portion 21a side of the shaft portion 10 in a state in which the shaft portion 10 is tilted at 45 degrees with respect to the ground G with the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 facing downward. At this time, the tip of the second hook portion 12 of the peg 1 may also be inserted into the ground. The user holds the peg 1 with the first hand and a hammer or the like with the second hand, and strikes the rear end surface 20a of the head portion 20 with the hammer or the like. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the first hand holds the shaft portion 10 close to the surface 13c on the tip side of the peg holding portion 13. As a result, the first hand is hidden and protected by the peg holding part 13 from the hammer striking the rear end surface 20a of the head part 20. Also, while looking at the index surface 60, the user inserts the peg 1 into the ground so that the index surface 60 is perpendicular to the ground G. As a result, the peg 1 is inserted at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground G.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 9, when the peg 1 is pulled out from the ground, the hook 121 of the pulling tool 120 is hooked into the hole 13a of the peg holding portion 13 and pulled.

[0040] According to this embodiment, the peg 1 includes an axle 10, a first hook 11, and a second hook 12, and the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 are provided on the first side surface 30 of the axle 10, aligned in the axial direction X of the axle 10. This allows a rope to be hooked on each of the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 aligned in the axial direction X of the axle 10. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, multiple ropes with different orientations can be hooked on the first hook 11 and the second hook 12 to insert the peg 1 into the ground. This allows multiple ropes to be easily fixed to the ground.

[0041] The peg 1 includes a peg holding portion 13, which is provided on the second side surface 31 of the shaft portion 10. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, the peg holding portion 13 holds the peg 1, allowing the peg 1 to be easily pulled out.

[0042] Since the second side surface 31 is located on the opposite side to the first side surface 30, the peg holding portion 13 and the first and second hook portions 11 and 12 are located on the opposite side of the shaft portion 10. This prevents multiple ropes from interfering with the peg holding portion 13 when the multiple ropes are hooked onto the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12.

[0043] At least one selected from the group consisting of the first hook portion 11, the second hook portion 12, and the peg holding portion 13 has an index surface 60 that serves as an indicator of the insertion angle of the peg 1 into the ground G, and the index surface 60 is at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the axial direction X of the shaft portion 10. This allows the user to recognize the insertion angle of the peg 1, and therefore allows the user to insert the peg 1 into the ground G at an appropriate angle.

[0044] Since the index surfaces 60 are provided at a plurality of locations, the user can more easily recognize the insertion angle of the peg 1 and can insert the peg 1 at an appropriate angle.

[0045] The peg holding portion 13 is provided on the second side surface 31 of the head 20 of the shaft portion 10, and has a protruding shape that protrudes outward from the second side surface 31. As a result, the peg holding portion 13 protects the user's hand from a hammer striking the head 20, for example, as shown in FIG.

[0046] The shaft portion 10 has an insertion portion 21 configured to be inserted into the ground, and the insertion portion 21 has a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape, which reduces resistance when inserting the peg 1 into the ground, making it easier to insert the peg 1.

[0047] The insertion portion 21 has a fifth side 40 and a sixth side 41 that form an acute interior angle with each other, and a seventh side 42 that connects the fifth side 40 and the sixth side 41 and curves so as to protrude outward. The fifth side 40 and the sixth side 41 act to reduce the resistance of the insertion portion 21 to the ground G, making it easier to insert the peg 1 into the ground. The seventh side 42 acts to make it easier to push the soil above the insertion portion 21 upward, making it easier to pull the peg 1 out of the ground.

[0048] The first hook portion 11 and the peg holding portion 13 are provided at positions corresponding to each other across the shaft portion 10, and the second hook portion 12 is provided closer to the tip side of the shaft portion 10 than the first hook portion 11 and the peg holding portion 13. This allows multiple ropes to be hooked and secured, and allows the peg 1 to be pulled out appropriately.

[0049] The first hook portion 11 forms a first gap OP1 through which the rope passes when the rope is hooked on the first hook portion 11, and the first gap OP1 opens in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction X of the shaft portion 10, and the second hook portion 12 forms a second gap OP2 through which the rope passes when the rope is hooked on the second hook portion 12, and the second gap OP2 opens toward the tip of the shaft portion 10. This makes it possible to appropriately hook multiple ropes with different orientations.

[0050] The first hook portion 11 has a first portion 50 that protrudes outward from the first side surface 30 of the shaft portion 10 and then extends toward the tip side of the shaft portion 10, and the second hook portion 12 has a second portion 51 that protrudes outward from the first side surface 30 of the shaft portion 10 and then extends toward the tip side of the shaft portion 10. This allows the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 to be formed in an appropriate manner.

[0051] The second portion 51 has a protruding portion 51c that protrudes toward the first portion 50, and a first gap OP1 is formed between the first portion 50 and the protruding portion 51c, through which the rope passes when the rope is hooked on the first hook portion 11. This allows the rope to be properly hooked on the first hook portion 11.

[0052] The tip of the second portion 51 has a tapered shape. This makes it easier to insert the second hook portion 12 into the ground. Therefore, the peg 1 can be inserted deeply into the ground.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the peg 1 may have other configurations and shapes. For example, the first hook portion 11, the second hook portion 12, and the peg holding portion 13 may have other shapes. The peg 1 may have a hook portion other than the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12.

[0054] In the above exemplary embodiments, the peg may be modified in various ways without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. For example, some components in one embodiment may be added to other embodiments within the scope of ordinary creativity of a person skilled in the art. Also, some components in one embodiment may be replaced with corresponding components in other embodiments. [Industrial Applicability]
