Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention is a name tag holder designed for kindergarteners and elementary school children who need assistance due to being young, having developmental delays, being clumsy with their hands, or having difficulty using one hand. [Background technology]

[0002] In kindergartens and elementary schools, it is common to use school-designated name tags with safety pins. However, for children who need assistance due to their young age, developmental delays, clumsiness, or disability in one hand, it is extremely difficult to open the pin of the safety pin by themselves and attach and remove it from clothing. There are many mistakes, such as pricking the skin with the safety pin, damaging clothing because they cannot control the force, or accidentally attaching the name tag to the clothing underneath. In addition, because they do not understand how the safety pin works, it is difficult for them to get the hang of opening and closing the pin to attach the name tag. Patent Document 1 devisees a name tag that is safe and easy to put on and take off, but it is not possible to use name tags designated by each kindergarten or school. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3173055 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The name tag holder of the present invention allows kindergarten and elementary school children who need support due to being young, having developmental delays, being clumsy with their hands, or having difficulty using one hand to use the name tag designated by the kindergarten or school as is and to attach and remove it safely with their own hands, thereby achieving one aspect of self-reliance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The first invention is a name tag clip for fastening a name tag with a safety pin, which has a right button and a left button on both ends of the surface of a base, and is configured by connecting the base, the right button, and the left button with an elastic string. The second invention is a name tag clip for fastening a name tag with a safety pin, which further has a right button and a left button on both ends of the surface of a base, the base, the right button and the left button being connected to each other with stretchable strings, and at least one button is provided between the right button and the left button on both ends of the surface of the base. The third invention is a name tag clip for fastening a name tag with a safety pin, which is configured by connecting the base and the rectangular button at least at one or more points with the stretchable string. The fourth invention is a name tag clip for fastening a name tag with a safety pin, which has a right button and a left button, and is a garment with a name tag clip configured by connecting the garment to the right button and the left button with the stretchable string, respectively. The fifth invention is a name tag clip in which the back and side of the right button or the left button of the first to fourth inventions are subjected to an anti-slip treatment. Effect of the Invention

[0006] The name tag holder of the present invention has a button attached with an elastic string, so when you put on your name tag, you can pull the button to create a distance between the name tag and your clothing, making it easier to see, and you can tilt the button in that state. Because of this effect, even young kindergarteners and elementary school children who need support due to being young, having developmental delays, being clumsy with their hands, or having difficulty using one hand can easily thread their nametag through the safety pin. This avoids the risk of opening and closing the safety pin on the name tag and the mistake of accidentally putting the name tag on with the shirt underneath. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a name tag clip according to the present invention. EXAMPLES

[0009] <Basic configuration diagram> 1 and 2 show the basic structure of the present invention. The buttons (2) are connected to both upper ends of the base (1) by the stretchable strings (3). FIG. 2 is a side view of the name tag clip of the present invention, in which, when the stretchable string (3) is stretched, a gap can be created between the base (1) and the button (2B).

[0010] <How to attach and remove safety pins and name tags> FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the button (2B) of the name tag holder of the present invention being passed through the center of the safety pin (4). By stretching the stretchable string (3), the button (2B) has some slack, making it easier to adjust the angle, and the button can be easily passed through the safety pin (4). The button (2A) is also passed through the center of the safety pin (4) in the same way as the button (2B), and the name tag is stable without shaking left and right, because the buttons (2A and (2B) are located at both ends of the inside of the safety pin (4). When removing the name tag, just like when wearing it, stretch the button (2B) to create a gap between it and the clothing (7), adjust the angle, and pass it through the inside of the safety pin (4) to remove it. Next, remove the button (2A) in the same way as the button (2B), and the safety pin (4) can be removed. The order of removing the buttons can be either button (2B) or (2A). The safety pin can be oriented in either direction. FIG. 4 shows a safety pin (4) attached to the name tag holder of the present invention. The number of buttons (2) that can be attached is not important, as long as they fit inside the pin. The diameter of the button must be greater than the inside width of the safety pin to function properly. Conventional name tags are attached by sticking the needle of a safety pin into clothing, but a name tag attached using the name tag clip of the present invention is more stable. The reason for this is that when the needle of the safety pin (4) is stuck into clothing (7), the name tag (5) is hung only by the upper side of the needle of the safety pin (4), but when attached using the name tag clip of the present invention, both the upper and lower sides of the needle of the safety pin (4) are attached by pressing them tightly against the clothing (7) with the button (2). FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a name tag (5) attached to the name tag holder of the present invention.

[0011] <Diagram of attaching the name tag holder to clothing> 6 and 7 are diagrams showing the name tag clip of the present invention attached to clothing 7. Buttons are generally round in shape, but any shape is acceptable as long as it fulfills its function. As shown in Figure 6, the name tag clip of the basic configuration having a base (1) is attached by the user by sewing or the like, so it can be attached to the clothing (7) at the desired position of the name tag and can be removed as needed. It can be attached to any clothing as long as it is made of a material that allows attachment. In contrast, the name tag clip in Figure 7 is attached in advance when the clothing is sewn, so the user does not need to sew or do other work, but the attachment position is determined at the time of sewing.

[0012] <Variations in where to attach your name tag> 8 to 10 show variations in the position where the name tag holder is attached. Fig. 8 shows the tag attached to the chest of the garment (7), Fig. 9 shows the tag attached to the sleeve of the garment (7), and Fig. 10 shows the tag attached to the lower front of the garment (7), and the tag can be attached to the designated positions of each kindergarten or school. EXAMPLES

[0013] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a configuration of three buttons (2). With three buttons, the strength is increased, and it is less likely to break if the safety pin (4) gets caught, and even if one of the buttons (2) comes off, it can still be used. Therefore, the number of buttons can be four or five, and the shape of the third button and above between both ends can be selected from various shapes such as triangle, square, flower shape, etc. to improve the design. The name tag (5) can be attached using either one or all three buttons (2), so the number of safety pins used can be adjusted according to the size of the pin. For example, if you are using small safety pins to attach the name tag (5) and a color ribbon that is frequently used by new students, you can attach the name tag to buttons (2A) and (2C), and the ribbon safety pin to button (2B). EXAMPLES

[0014] FIG. 12 shows a name tag clip made up of a horizontally elongated button (6). For people who cannot place their thumb and index finger together, the round surface of the button (2) is narrow and difficult to grasp, but the oblong button (6) has a wider surface that touches the fingers, making it easier to handle. Also, the name tag (5) can be attached by simply passing it through the safety pin (4) once. The oblong button (6) is connected on the left and right sides with the stretchable string (3), so it is less likely to be lost even if the stretchable string (3) breaks. EXAMPLES

[0015] FIG. 13 shows non-slip buttons (8A) and (8B). The backside (9) and side (9) of the buttons (8A) and (8B) are treated to prevent slipping. For example, they may be treated with small bumps on the backside, jagged grooves on the side, a silicone anti-slip coating, or a silicone cover. The anti-slip treatment applied to the back surface has the effect of reducing the number of mistakes that occur when a child with weak finger strength slips off the buttons (8A) (8B) when pulling them out by passing them through the center part of the safety pin. The anti-slip coating on the sides of the button makes it less likely to slip when you change the angle of the button by pushing against the side of the button with your thumb. This button can be replaced in Examples 1 to 3. [Explanation of symbols]
