When the push button 35 of the hair ornament attachment tool 30 is pressed, the hair ornament 10 is released from the hair ornament attachment tool 30 and attached to the doll's hair (see FIG. 12).
[0028] "detail" (Hair accessories 10) FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the hair ornament 10, FIG. 3 is a top view of the hair ornament 10, and FIG. Hair ornament 10 is made of rubber and comprises hair ornament main body 11 which constitutes the decorative part, a fastener 12 for attaching hair ornament main body 11 and therefore hair ornament 10 to the doll's hair, and a protrusion 14 and a fastening ring 14c for fastening optional extensions 13 (Figure 4) to hair ornament main body 11.
[0029] Hair ornament body 11 is formed in a disk shape, and a pattern of, for example, a chrysanthemum flower is engraved on the surface. Hair ornament body 11 is in a flat state in the normal state due to elastic force, and is bent at fold F at a predetermined angle toward the surface due to a force resisting the elastic force. The fold F is thinner than other parts, and a slit B is formed in part of fold F that reaches the edge of hair ornament body 11. This makes hair ornament body 11 easy to bend. In addition, the edges on the front side of the hair ornament body 11 are rounded in order to make it easier to capture the hair ornament 10 when a predetermined portion of the front end of the hair ornament wearing tool 30 is pressed against the hair ornament 10.
[0030] The fastener 12 is formed on the back surface of the hair ornament main body 11. The fastener 12 is composed of a pair of fastener pieces 12a, 12a. Each fastener piece 12a is hook-shaped (L-shaped), and the tips of the pair of fastener pieces 12a, 12a are arranged to face each other with a specified gap between them. The specified gap is formed between the tips of the pair of fastener pieces 12a, 12a in order to make it easier to remove the hair ornament 10 attached to the doll's hair. The surfaces of the pair of fastener pieces 12a, 12a that come into contact with the doll's hair when the hair ornament attachment tool 30 is pressed against the doll's hair are curved to fit the shape of the doll's head. When the hair ornament body 11 is in a flat state, the tips of the pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a are positioned close to each other, and when the hair ornament body 11 is in a bent state, the tips of the pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a are positioned farther apart.
[0031] The protrusion 14 is cylindrical and formed on the back surface of the hair ornament body 11. A flange 14b that projects slightly outward in the radial direction is formed on the outer periphery of the tip of the protrusion 14. A loop 13a formed by folding the hair bundle of the extension 13 in half and tying it is hung on this protrusion 14 (see FIG. 4). The extension 13 is prevented from coming off the protrusion 14 by a locking ring 14c that is fixed to the protrusion 14 in advance. The locking ring 14c may be detachable from the protrusion 14. The locking ring 14c may be fitted onto the protrusion 14 to allow the extensions 13 or other charms to be attached to the hair ornament body 11, and the locking ring 14c may be removed from the protrusion 14 to allow the extensions 13 or other charms to be removed from the hair ornament body 11.
[0032] (Palette 20) FIG. 5 is a top view of the pallet 20. The pallet 20 is flat and rectangular in plan view. On the surface of the pallet 20, three recesses 21, 21, 21 are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the pallet 20 in the short side half of the pallet 20. Each recess 21 opens to the long side of the pallet 20 (see FIG. 1). In addition, a protrusion 22 that is T-shaped in plan view is formed in each recess 21. The protrusion 22 is composed of a protrusion portion 22a parallel to the short side of the pallet 20 and a protrusion portion 22b parallel to the long side of the pallet 20. Of these, the protrusion portion 22a has a width approximately equal to the gap between the tips of the pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a, and the hair ornament 10 can be fixed by clamping the protrusion portion 22a between the pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a.

As shown in FIG. 1. Cabinet 31 The housing 31 of the hair accessory wearing device 30 is composed of an upper housing 31a and a lower housing 31b. The housing 31 is provided with a pair of hook arms 32, 32, a push bar holder (sliding contact member) 33, a push arm 34, and a push button 35. The push bar holder 33, the push arm 34, and coil springs 32b, 34d described below constitute a push arm opening / closing mechanism that opens and closes the pair of hook arms 32, 32 by operating the push button 35. The housing 31 is also provided with a push bar 36 for causing the hair ornament main body 11 to bend.
[0034] 2. A pair of hook arms 32, 32 FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the internal mechanism of the hair accessory 30. As shown in FIG. The pair of hook arms 32, 32 are for gripping the hair ornament main body 11 and holding the hair ornament 10. A pair of hook arms 32, 32 are arranged facing each other on the left and right. Each hook arm 32 is long in the vertical direction and is configured to be rotatable around an axis 32a at the upper end supported by the housing 31. A recess 32c is formed on the inside of the tip end (lower end) of each hook arm 32. This recess 32c grips the hair ornament main body 11. Each hook arm 32, 32 is biased in a direction in which the tip end approaches by a separate coil spring 32b. A sliding contact portion 32d that can slide against a push bar holder 33 described later is formed on the inside of each hook arm 32, 32. When the pair of hook arms 32, 32 grip the hair ornament main body 11, the sliding contact portion 32d is inclined with respect to the moving direction of the push bar holder 33 described later. The pair of hook arms 32, 32 open and close by rotating about an axis 32a, and in conjunction with this opening and closing, the hair ornament main body 11 is gripped and released.
[0035] 3. Push bar holder 33 The push bar holder 33 is for operating the pair of hook arms 32, 32. The push bar holder 33 is disposed between the pair of hook arms 32, 32. The push bar holder 33 is provided so as to be capable of reciprocating up and down. When the push bar holder 33 moves downward (forward), it comes into sliding contact with the sliding contact portion 32d, and opens the pair of hook arms 32, 32 against the biasing force of the coil spring 32b. The push bar holder 33 is formed with a hollow portion 33c. The rear side of the push bar holder 33 forms a connecting portion 33a with the push arm 34. On both the left and right sides of the connecting portion 33a, there are formed engagement grooves 33b (the left engagement groove 33b is not shown) that extend in the front-rear direction and reach the rear end of the connecting portion 33a. The left and right corners of the lower end of the push bar holder 33 constitute sliding contact parts that come into sliding contact with the corresponding sliding contact parts 32d as the push bar holder 33 moves downward. The left and right corners of the lower end of the push bar holder 33 are chamfered to form inclined surfaces having a shape complementary to the corresponding sliding contact parts 32d. This adjusts the pushing force exerted by the push bar 36, which will be described later, when releasing the hair ornament 10 to be appropriate and not excessively large.
[0036] 4. Push Arm 34 The push arm 34 is for operating the push bar holder 33 . The push arm 34 is disposed behind the push bar holder 33. The push arm 34 is long in the front-rear direction and is supported by the housing 31 via a shaft 34a at the rear end. This allows the push arm 34 to rotate within a predetermined range in the vertical direction around the shaft 34a. The front end of the push arm 34 is provided with bifurcated connecting pieces 34b, 34b. A cylindrical pin 34c is attached to the inside of each connecting piece 34b. This pin 34c engages with the corresponding engaging groove 33b. This connects the push arm 34 and the push bar holder 33. The push arm 34 is biased upward by a coil spring 34d.
[0037] 5. Push Button 35 The push button 35 is an operator for operating the push arm 34 . The push button 35 is disposed on the middle part in the front-rear direction of the push arm 34. The head of the push button 35 protrudes from a hole 31c (FIG. 8) of the upper housing 31a. By pressing this protruding part, the push arm 34 is rotated downward.
[0038] 6. Push Bar 36 The push bar 36 functions to bend the hair ornament body 11 held by the pair of hook arms 32, 32. The push bar 36 is cylindrical and has a taper 36a at its lower end. The lower end of the push bar 36 is in contact with the center of the surface of the hair ornament body 11 of the hair ornament 10 held by the pair of hook arms 32, 32. On the other hand, an engagement part 36b is attached to the upper end of the push bar 36, and the engagement part 36b is installed in the hollow part 33c of the push bar holder 33. A coil spring 36c is installed between the engagement part 36b and the ceiling of the hollow part 33c, and the push bar 36 is biased in a direction that protrudes downward from the push bar holder 33. The biasing force of the push bar 36 is set to such an extent that the push bar 36 does not push out the hair ornament body 11 when it is held by the pair of hook arms 32, 32.
[0039] (operation) First, the operation of the hair accessory attachment tool 30 when capturing the hair accessory 10 will be described. 10(A) to 10(C) are diagrams illustrating the operation of the hair ornament wearing tool 30 when capturing the hair ornament 10. FIG. Assume now that a plurality of hair ornaments 10 are arranged and stored on the palette 20. The hair ornament attachment tool 30 is held in one hand, and the tips of the pair of hook arms 32, 32 are pressed against the surface of the hair ornament body 11 of the desired hair ornament 10 arranged on the pallet 20 (FIG. 10(A)). At this time, the tip of the push bar 36 is also pressed against the edge of the surface of the hair ornament body 11. When the hair ornament attachment tool 30 is pressed even harder, the front edge of the hair ornament body 11 is rounded, so that the tips of the pair of hook arms 32, 32 slide against the edge of the hair ornament body 11 and open. At this time, the push bar 36 rises slightly against the biasing force of the coil spring 36c. Then, when the tips of the pair of hook arms 32, 32 pass the lower end of the hair ornament body 11, the pair of hook arms 32, 32 move in the closing direction due to the biasing force of each coil spring 32b, and the hair ornament body 11 is gripped by the pair of hook arms 32, 32 (Figure 10(B)). Thereafter, when the hair ornament attachment device 30 is lifted, the surface of the hair ornament main body 11 is pushed downward by the push bar 36 due to the biasing force of the coil spring 36c, so that the hair ornament main body 11 is bent and grasped by the pair of hook arms 32, 32 (Figure 10(C)).
[0040] Next, the operation of the hair accessory 30 when wearing the hair accessory 10 will be described. 11(A) and 11(B) are diagrams for explaining the operation of wearing the hair ornament when wearing the hair ornament. The hair ornament attachment tool 30, holding the hair ornament 10 with the pair of hook arms 32, 32, is pressed against the doll's hair (Fig. 11(A)). When the hair ornament attachment tool 30 is pressed, the fasteners 12 penetrate deeply into the hair, and then when the push button 35 is pressed, the pair of hook arms 32, 32 open and the hair ornament 10 is released from the hair ornament attachment tool 30. Then, the hair ornament body 11 of the released hair ornament 10 becomes flat due to elastic force, and the fasteners 12 close and are attached to the doll's hair (Fig. 11(B)). Fig. 12 shows multiple hair ornaments 10 attached to the doll's hair.
[0041] (Effects of the first embodiment) The main effects of the first embodiment described above are as follows. That is, with this hair ornament attachment device 30, by pressing a predetermined portion of the hair ornament attachment device 30 holding the hair ornament 10 against the doll's hair and pressing the push button 35, the hair ornament 10 is released from the hair ornament attachment device 30, the hair ornament main body 11 becomes flat due to its elastic force, and the hair ornament 10 is attached to the doll's hair by the fasteners 12.
[0042] Furthermore, according to this hair ornament attachment device 30, the push bar 36 is pressed against the surface of the hair ornament body 11 with a predetermined biasing force, so that when the pair of hook arms 32, 32 grip the hair ornament 10, the hair ornament body 11 can be brought into a bent state.
[0043] Furthermore, with this hair accessory attachment 30, the hair accessory 10 is released by pressing the push button 35, making the operation simple and allowing even a child to easily attach the hair accessory 10 to a doll.
[0044] Furthermore, according to this hair accessory attachment device 30, the push bar holder 33 is operated by pressing the intermediate portion between the fulcrum and the point of action of the push arm 34, which functions as a lever, with the push button 35, so that a small operation can greatly operate the push bar holder 33 and, in turn, the pair of hook arms 32, 32.
[0045] Furthermore, the hair ornament 10 attached by the hair ornament attachment tool 30 is configured to be bendable due to the elasticity of rubber, so no special hinge is required.
[0046] Furthermore, the hair ornament 10 attached by this hair ornament attachment tool 30 has a pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a each configured in an L-shape with the tips facing each other with a specified gap between them, making it easy to remove from the doll's hair.
[0047] [Second embodiment] "overview" FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a hair accessory wearing set 200 according to the second embodiment. The hair ornament wearing set 200 includes hair ornaments (beads) 60, a palette 70, and a hair ornament wearing tool 80. Note that the term "hair ornament 60" collectively refers to hair ornaments 60A to 60G described below.
[0048] This hair accessory wearing set 200 differs significantly from the hair accessory set 100 of the first embodiment in the following respects. That is, in the hair ornament wearing device 30 of the first embodiment, the push bar 36 is held by the push bar holder 33 and is configured to be vertically movable relative to the push bar holder 33, and is biased by a coil spring 36c in a direction protruding downward relative to the push bar holder 33. In contrast, in the hair ornament wearing device 80 of the second embodiment, a contact bar 86 (see FIG. 19) equivalent to the push bar 36 of the hair ornament wearing device 30 of the first embodiment is fixedly provided.
[0049] "detail" (Hair accessories 60) FIG. 14 is a top view of the hair ornaments 60A to 60G, and FIG. 15 is a bottom view of the hair ornaments 60A to 60G. Hair ornaments 60A-60G are made of rubber and include hair ornament main body 61 constituting the decorative part, and fasteners 62 for attaching hair ornament main body 61 and thus hair ornaments 60A-60G to a doll's hair. Hair ornament 60G includes an arc-shaped part 64 to which extensions 13 (see FIG. 4) are attached. For the sake of convenience, extensions 13 are omitted in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15.
[0050] Hair ornament body 61 is formed in a plate shape. A butterfly pattern is engraved on the surface of hair ornament 60A, a heart pattern on the surface of hair ornament 60B, a ribbon pattern on the surface of hair ornament 60C, a cosmos pattern on the surface of hair ornament 60D, a diamond pattern on the surface of hair ornament 60E, an ice crystal pattern on the surface of hair ornament 60F, and a chrysanthemum pattern on the surface of hair ornament 60G.
[0051] The hair ornament body 61 is normally flat due to elastic force, but is bent at a predetermined angle toward the front at the folds in the center of the left and right due to a force resisting the elastic force. The thickness of the folds is thinner than other parts. In addition, a slit B that reaches the edge of the hair ornament body 61 is formed in part of the folds of the hair ornament body 61 of the hair ornaments 60A, 60B, 60D to 60G. This makes the hair ornament body 61 easy to bend. In addition, the edges on the front side of the hair ornament main body 61 are rounded in order to make it easier to capture the hair ornament 60A-60G when a predetermined part of the front end of the hair ornament wearing tool 80 is pressed against the surface of the hair ornament 60A-60G.
[0052] The fastener 62 is formed on the back surface of the hair ornament main body 61. The fastener 62 is composed of a pair of fastener pieces 62a, 62a. Each fastener piece 62a is hook-shaped (L-shaped) like each fastener piece 12a in the first embodiment, and the tips of the pair of fastener pieces 62a, 62a are arranged to face each other with a specified gap between them. Note that the surfaces of the pair of fastener pieces 62a, 62a that come into contact with the doll's hair when the hair ornament attachment tool 80 is pressed against the doll's hair are curved to fit the shape of the doll's head. When the hair ornament main body 61 is in a flat state, the tips of the pair of fastening pieces 62a, 62a are positioned close to each other, and when the hair ornament main body 61 is in a bent state, the tips of the pair of fastening pieces 62a, 62a are positioned farther apart.
[0053] Although not shown, a bundle of hair extensions 13 (see FIG. 4) is passed through the arc-shaped portion 64 of the hair ornament 60G, and then overlapped and secured by a thread.
[0054] (Palette 70) FIG. 16 is a perspective view of the top surface side of the pallet 70, and FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the bottom surface side of the pallet 70. As shown in FIG. The pallet 70 is a thick plate-like member that is elongated in one direction. On the surface of the pallet 70, three recesses 71, 71, 71 are arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the pallet 70. Each recess 71 opens to one long side of the pallet 70. In addition, a protrusion 72 that is H-shaped when viewed from above is formed inside each recess 71. The protrusion 72 is composed of V-block-shaped protrusions 72a, 72c that are arranged at a predetermined interval parallel to the long side of the pallet 70, and a protrusion 72b that is arranged between the V-block-shaped protrusions 72a, 72c and parallel to the short side of the pallet 70. Of these, the protrusion 72b has a width approximately equal to the gap between the tips of the pair of fastening pieces 62a, 62a, and the protrusion 72b is sandwiched between the pair of fastening pieces 62a, 62a to fix the hair ornament 60. Furthermore, the protruding portions 72a, 72c are portions that come into contact with the edge portions of the underside of the hair ornament main body 61, and when the hair ornament 60 is attached to the pallet 70, the hair ornament main body 61 is in a flat state.
[0055] A pair of slits 73, 73 are formed in the floor of each recess 71 of the pallet 70 with the protruding portion 72b between them. The tips of a pair of hook arms 82, 82 of the hair ornament 60 attached to the pallet 70 are loosely fitted into the pair of slits 73, 73. By loosely fitting the pair of hook arms 82, 82 into the pair of slits 73, 73 in this manner, it is possible to reduce the instability of the hair ornament 60 when attaching or detaching the hair ornament 60 to the pallet 70.

[0061] 6. Contact bar (contact member) 86 The contact bar 86 comes into contact with the surface of the hair ornament main body 61 gripped by the pair of hook arms 82, 82, and functions to bend the hair ornament main body 61. The abutment bar 86 is plate-shaped, and a wedge-shaped inclined surface 86a is formed at the lower end. The lower end of the abutment bar 86 abuts against the center of the surface of the hair ornament body 61 of the hair ornament 60 gripped by the pair of hook arms 82, 82. On the other hand, an attachment plate 86b is attached to the upper end of the abutment bar 86. The attachment plate 66b is formed in an H-shape when viewed from above. The abutment bar 86 is fixed to the housing 81 in a state where the attachment plate 86b is sandwiched between the upper housing 81a and the lower housing 81b. The attachment plate 86b may also be fixed to the housing 81 in a state where it is sandwiched between the upper housing 81a and the pair of hook arms 82, 82.
[0062] (operation) First, the operation of the hair accessory attachment tool 80 when capturing the hair accessory 60 will be described. 20(A) and 20(B) are diagrams illustrating the operation of the hair ornament wearing tool 80 when capturing the hair ornament 60. FIG. Assume now that a plurality of hair ornaments 60 are stored and arranged on palette 70. The hair ornament attachment tool 80 is held in one hand, and the tips of the pair of hook arms 82, 82 are pressed against the surface of the hair ornament body 61 of the desired hair ornament 60 arranged on the pallet 70 (Fig. 20(A)). At this time, the tip of the abutment bar 86 is pressed against the surface of the hair ornament body 61, and is bent along the V-shaped grooves of the protruding parts 72a, 72c. At the same time as the hair ornament body 61 is bent, the edge on the front side thereof is rounded, so that said edge of the hair ornament body 61 comes into sliding contact with the tips of the pair of hook arms 82, 82, opening the pair of hook arms 82, 82. Then, when the tips of the pair of hook arms 82, 82 pass the lower end of the hair ornament body 61, the pair of hook arms 82, 82 move in the closing direction due to the biasing force of each coil spring 82b, and the hair ornament body 61 is gripped by the pair of hook arms 82, 82 (FIG. 20(B)).
[0063] Next, the operation of the hair accessory 80 when attaching the hair accessory 60 will be described. The hair ornament attachment tool 80, holding the hair ornament 60 with the pair of hook arms 82, 82, is pressed against the doll's hair. When the hair ornament attachment tool 80 is pressed, the fasteners 62 penetrate deeply into the hair, and then when the push button 85 is pressed, the pair of hook arms 82, 82 open, and the hair ornament 60 is released from the hair ornament attachment tool 80. Then, the hair ornament main body 61 of the released hair ornament 60 becomes flat due to elastic force, and the fasteners 62 close and attach it to the doll's hair.
[0064] (Effects of the second embodiment) This hair ornament wearing tool 80 can provide the same effects as the first embodiment. In addition, because the contact bar 86 is fixed, the coil spring 36c as in the first embodiment is not necessary, and the number of parts is accordingly reduced. In addition, the coil spring 36c can be prevented from accidentally pushing out the hair ornament 60.
[0065] <<Variation>> Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0066] For example, in the hair accessory wearing device 30 (or 80) of the above embodiment, the push button 35 (or 85) which is the operator is moved linearly, but the operator may be rotated about a predetermined axis and this rotational motion may be converted into linear motion of the push bar holder 33 (or sliding block 83). Alternatively, the operator may be of a sliding type and the movement of the operator may be converted into linear motion of the push bar holder 33 (or sliding block 83) perpendicular to the operator. Furthermore, the operator and the push bar holder 33 (or sliding block 83) may be integrated.
[0067] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment of the hair ornament wearing device 30 (or 80), the hair ornament 10 (or 60) is gripped by a pair of hook arms 32, 32 (or 82, 82) that rotate around separate axes 32a (or 82a), but the hair ornament 10 (or 60) may also be gripped by a pair of gripping pieces that approach and move away from each other on a straight line.
[0068] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment of the hair ornament wearing device 30, the push bar holder 33 that operates the pair of hook arms 32, 32 and the push bar 36 that bends the hair ornament main body 11 are connected, but the part that operates the pair of hook arms 32, 32 and the push bar 36 may not be connected, and may be configured to operate independently of each other.
[0069] In addition, according to the hair ornament 10 of the above embodiment, the side where the pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a are formed and the side where the protrusion 14 is formed are bent on the side where the pair of fastening pieces 12a, 12a are formed (the part larger than the half body), but it is also possible to bend the entirety without providing the protrusion 14 for attaching the extension 13. Also, it is possible to bend the entirety by deviating the joint between the protrusion 14 and the hair ornament body 11 from the fold F. Alternatively, it is also possible to bend only the part gripped by the pair of hook arms 32, 32, for example, only some of the petals.
[0070] In the above embodiment, the hair ornament 10 and the hair ornament attachment tool 30 are described, but the present invention can be applied to accessories and accessory attachment tools other than hair ornaments. For example, the present invention can be applied to attaching accessories such as badges and brooches that can be attached by gripping the clothes of a doll. The present invention can also be applied to accessories that are larger than doll accessories, such as accessories worn by people other than dolls. [Explanation of symbols]
