[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-123110 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-56418 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The main problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide a new structure that increases the convenience of a band-shaped accessory consisting of two parts that can each be fastened to a band-shaped body and can be combined with the other part in a detachable manner. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an accessory for a band, a first member having a fitting portion; The engaging portion has a receiving portion that detachably receives the fitting portion, and in an engaged state where the fitting portion is received in the receiving portion, Rotatable about the fitting portion or relatively rotatable, Alternatively, the fitting portion may be moved within a certain range or relatively moved in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion into the receiving portion, Alternatively, the fitting portion can be rotated around the fitting portion or relatively rotated, and can be moved within a certain range or relatively moved in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion into the receiving portion, a second member that is combined with the first member, Furthermore, the first member and the second member each have a passage through which the strip passes, and this passage is configured to fasten the strip at any position in the longitudinal direction with a certain frictional force.

[0006] The fitting portion has a head, One aspect of this invention is to configure the receiving portion so that the receiving of the fitting portion is permitted by elastic deformation of an elastically deformable portion formed to continue in the rotation direction or elastic deformation of an elastically deformable portion formed to continue in the movement direction, and so that the receiving portion engages with the head by elastic return of the elastically deformable portion at the completion position of the receiving.

[0007] In addition, one aspect of the present invention is to form a convex portion on either the first member or the second member in the engaged state, which fits into a groove formed around the center of the rotation or relative rotation with respect to the other of the first member and the second member.

[0008] Further, each of the first member and the second member includes a base and a cover that is combined with the base so as to sandwich the strip between the base and the cover, and forms the passage portion between the base and the cover, In one aspect of the present invention, the fitting portion is formed on the base of the first member, and the receiving portion is formed on the base of the second member.

[0009] Further, the first member and the second member each have two openings for drawing out the strip that communicate with the passage portion, and One aspect of this invention is that the base of the first member and the base of the second member each have a fin portion that extends outward from the opening edge of the drawer opening and extends at an angle toward the opposite side of the outer surface so that the distance between the outer surface of the base facing the inner surface facing the passing portion gradually increases as the extending end is approached.

[0010] Further, the first member and the second member each have two openings for drawing out the strip that communicate with the passage portion, and One aspect of this invention is that the base of the first member and the base of the second member each have a portion of their inner surfaces facing the passage portion that is located in front of the edge of the drawer opening and continues to the edge of the opening, which is inclined in a direction that gradually increases the distance from the outer surface of the base as it approaches the drawer opening.

[0011] Furthermore, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a convex portion on either the inner surface of the base or the inner surface of the cover facing the passage portion, so as to face a concave portion formed on the other of the two, via the band-shaped body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] In the accessory of this invention, firstly, the first member and the second member can each be fastened at any position along the length of the band-shaped body when in a non-engaged state in which the fitting portion is not engaged with the receiving portion, and the fastening position can be changed as needed.

[0013] Secondly, by engaging the first and second members, the strap to which the first member is fastened or its fastening portion can be connected to the strap to which the second member is fastened or its fastening portion via the accessory. In other words, the accessory serves as a substitute for a knot for the strap. When the fitting portion is releasably received in the receiving portion while being rotatable around the fitting portion or relative to the receiving portion, even when the first and second members are oriented so that the band-shaped body passing through the first member intersects with the band-shaped body passing through the second member, the fitting portion can be received in the receiving portion to engage and combine the first and second members, making it possible to combine the two members without the need for precise alignment. Furthermore, when the fitting portion is adapted to be received in a disengageable manner while being allowed to move within a certain range in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion into the receiving portion or to move relatively thereto, the fitting portion can be received in the receiving portion at any position within the certain range of movement, thereby engaging and combining the first and second members, and in this case too, it is possible to combine the two members without the need for strict alignment.

[0014] Thirdly, even when the band-shaped body to which the first member is fastened or its fastening point and the band-shaped body to which the second member is fastened or its fastening point are connected via this accessory, the fastening position of this accessory can be changed as needed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] A typical embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 32. A band accessory 1 according to this embodiment is attached to a band W that constitutes a tape, band, belt, or the like used for various purposes, or a band W that is provided on various articles.

[0017] The accessory 1 is composed of a first member 2 and a second member 3.

[0018] The first member 2 has a fitting portion 4 . On the other hand, the second member 3 has a receiving portion 5 that receives the fitting portion 4 in a detachable manner, and when the fitting portion 4 is received in this receiving portion 5 in an engaged state, it is combined with the first member 2 in a state that allows rotation around the fitting portion 4 or relative rotation (first example). Alternatively, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 in a state in which it is movable within a certain range in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion 4 into the receiving portion 5. Alternatively, it is combined with the first member 2 in a state in which it is rotatable around the fitting portion 4 or relatively rotatable, and is movable within a certain range or relatively movable in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion 4 into the receiving portion 5 (third example).

[0019] Furthermore, the first member 2 and the second member 3 each have a passage 6 through which the strip W passes. At the same time, the first member 2 and the second member 3 are each configured to be fastened to any position in the longitudinal direction of the strip W in the passage 6 with a certain frictional force.

[0020] 1 to 29, in the engaged state, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 in a state in which it can rotate about or relatively to the fitting portion 4. This rotation direction is indicated by the symbol x in FIG.

[0021] As a result, in the accessory 1 of this embodiment, firstly, the first member 2 and the second member 3 can each be fastened at any position in the longitudinal direction of the band-shaped body W in a non-engaged state (see Figure 1) in which the fitting portion 4 is not engaged with the receiving portion 5, and the fastening position can be changed as necessary. Secondly, by engaging the first member 2 and the second member 3, the band W to which the first member 2 is fastened or its fastening portion can be connected to the band W to which the second member 3 is fastened or its fastening portion via the accessory 1 (see Figures 2 to 6). In other words, the accessory 1 serves as a substitute for the knot of the band W. Thirdly, even when the band-shaped body W to which the first member 2 is fastened or its fastening point and the band-shaped body W to which the second member 3 is fastened or its fastening point are connected via this accessory 1, the fastening position of this accessory 1 can be changed as needed. For example, as shown in Figure 6, if the first member 2 and the second member 3 are each fastened to a strap W that serves as the chin strap of a helmet H, the chin strap can be loosened with one touch by moving the accessory 1 downward from the state in which the first member 2 and the second member 3 are engaged, i.e., by changing the fastening position relative to the strap W downward. Also, the chin strap can be tightened with one touch by moving the accessory 1 upward from the state in which the first member 2 and the second member 3 are engaged, i.e., by changing the fastening position relative to the strap W upward. Also, by releasing the engagement between the first member 2 and the second member 3, the chin strap can be significantly loosened with one touch.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first member 2 and the second member 3 each comprise a base 8 and a cover 7 which is combined with the base 8 so as to sandwich the strip W between the base 8 and the cover 7, thereby forming the passage 6 between the base 8 and the cover 7.

[0023] In the illustrated example, the cover 7 of the first member 2 and the cover 7 of the second member 3 have the same shape and dimensions.

[0024] The cover 7 includes a disk portion 7a and a rising portion 7b formed on one surface of the disk portion 7a. The raised portions 7a are formed at opposing positions across the center of the disc portion 7a. As shown in FIG. 12, the two raised portions 7a are each formed to frame the outer edge of the disc portion 7a at a certain angle in a direction around the center of the disc portion 7a. One end of each of the two raised portions 7a is formed to be located on an imaginary second line L2 that is parallel to an imaginary first line L1 that passes through the center of the disc portion 7a and passes between the outer edge and the center of the disc portion 7a. The other end of each of the two raised portions 7a is formed to be located on an imaginary third line L3 that passes through a position symmetrical to the second line L2 with respect to the first line L1. Typically, the distance between the two raised portions 7a is set to be substantially equal to the width of the strip W to be fastened.

[0025] In the illustrated example, a window hole 7c is formed in each of the two raised portions 7a. The window holes 7c are formed on both sides of an imaginary fourth line L4 that passes through the center of the disk portion 7a and is perpendicular to the first line L1. A guide groove 7e is formed on the inside of the raised portion 7a between the window hole 7c and the protruding end 7d of the raised portion 7a.

[0026] Furthermore, on the outside of the rising portion 7a, a knurled portion consisting of projections and depressions is formed along the protruding direction of the rising portion 7a.

[0027] Furthermore, one surface of the disk portion 7a is formed with a ridge 7g that extends between two raised portions 7a on both sides of the fourth straight line L4. When the cover 7 is combined with the base 8 as described below, the ridge 7g faces a groove 8g in the base 8, described below, via the strip W. Although not shown, the ridge 7g may be provided on the base 8, in which case the cover 7 will have a groove 8g, described below.

[0028] Furthermore, the outer edge of the disc portion 7a positioned between the two raised portions 7a of the cover 7 configured in this manner forms the withdrawal opening 9 for the strip W when the cover 7 is combined with the base 8.

[0029] In the first example, the base 8 has a shape in which fin portions 12, which will be described later, are formed on both diametrical sides of a disk-shaped main body portion 8a. The main body 8a has a first surface 8b and a second surface 8c each having a circular outline.

[0030] 16 and 24, the first surface portion 8b has a recessed portion 8d between an imaginary second line L2 that is parallel to an imaginary first line L1 that passes through the center of the main body portion 8a and passes between the outer edge of the first surface portion 8b and the center, and an imaginary third line L3 that passes through a position symmetrical to the second line L2 with respect to the first line L1. Typically, the width of this recessed portion 8d, that is, the distance between the second line L2 and the third line L3 on the base 8, is set to be substantially equal to the width of the strip-shaped body W to be fastened. On both sides of the recessed portion 8d, a convex portion 8e is formed, forming a step 8f between the recessed portion 8d and the convex portion 8e. In the illustrated example, the step 8f is formed along two sides of an imaginary square whose center is the center of the main body portion 8a. At the same time, a groove 8g is formed in the recessed portion 8d along the remaining two sides of the imaginary square, orthogonal to the first straight line L1.

[0031] The outer diameter of the main body 8a is substantially equal to the diameter of an imaginary circle circumscribed by the two rising portions 7a of the cover 7. Furthermore, on a thickness surface portion 8h of the main body portion 8a extending between the first surface portion 8b and the second surface portion 8c, protrusions 8i that can be received in the window holes 7c of the cover 7 are formed on the outer sides of the two convex portions 8e. Two such protrusions 8i are formed on each side of the first straight line L1, corresponding to the window holes 7c. The distance between the protrusions 8i located on one side of the first straight line L1 and the protrusions 8i located on the other side is slightly larger than the diameter of an imaginary circle circumscribed by the two raised portions 7a of the cover 7.

[0032] In this embodiment, the elastic deformation of the raised portion 7a positions the strip W within the formation area of ​​the recessed portion 8d of the base 8, and from the state in which the strip W is positioned between the two raised portions 7a of the cover 7, it is possible to fit the main portion 8a of the base 8 between the two raised portions 7a of the cover 7.

[0033] In the illustrated example, the cover 7 and base 8 can be assembled with the protrusion 8i oriented to fit into the guide groove 7e. By fitting the protrusion 8i into the guide groove 7e in this way, the raised portion 7a is temporarily elastically deformed. When the protrusion 8i is fitted into the window hole 7c, the raised portion 7a elastically returns to its original position, and the protrusion 8i fits into the window hole 7c, and the cover 7 and base 8 are integrated with the strip W interposed therebetween.

[0034] 4 and 5, when the cover 7 and base 8 are integrated in this manner, the passage 6 is formed by the recessed portion 8d of the base 8 and the disc portion 7a of the cover 7. Since the accessory 1 is attached to the band W by combining the cover 7 and the base 8 so that the band W is sandwiched between them, even if the band W has already been sewn to an article that includes it, the accessory 1 can be easily attached to the band W afterward.

[0035] In the illustrated example, when the base 8 and the cover 7 are integrated as described above, the two grooves 8g of the base 8 are positioned so that the corresponding ridges 7g of the cover 7 face each other, and the strip W is bent by the ridges 7g and grooves 8g just before each of the two drawer openings 9 (see FIG. 4). As a result, the first member 2 and the second member 3 are each fastened with a certain frictional force at any position in the longitudinal direction of the strip W in the passing section 6.

[0036] That is, in this embodiment, either the inner surface of the base 8 facing the passing portion 6 or the inner surface of the cover 7 is provided with a convex portion, a ridge 7g, formed so as to face a groove 8g, which is a recess, formed on the other of the inner surfaces, via the band-shaped body W.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fitting portion 4 is formed on the base 8 which becomes the first member 2 , and the receiving portion 5 is formed on the base 8 which becomes the second member 3 .

[0038] The fitting portion 4 has a head portion 4a. On the other hand, the receiving portion 5 allows the insertion portion 4 to be received by the elastic deformation of the elastically deformable portion 5a formed to be continuous in the rotation direction x, and is configured to engage with the head portion 4a by the elastic return of the elastically deformable portion 5a at the completion position of the receiving.

[0039] In the illustrated example, the fitting portion 4 is a second surface 8c that is the outer surface of the main body portion 8a of the base 8 of the first member 2, and is formed at the center of this main body portion 8a. The fitting portion 4 protrudes from the outer surface (second surface portion 8c) of the main body portion 8a of the base 8 in a direction perpendicular to this outer surface (second surface portion 8c). In other words, the central axis of the fitting portion 4 is perpendicular to the outer surface of the main body portion 8a, and the rotation is performed around this central axis.

[0040] The fitting portion 4 is cylindrical. A through-hole 8j is formed in the main body 8a, which is connected to the interior of the fitting portion 4. A circumferential outer flange 4b ​​is formed at the protruding end of the fitting portion 4, thereby forming a head portion 4a on the fitting portion 4.

[0041] In addition, in the illustrated example, the receiving portion 5 is configured to include a through hole 5b formed in the center of the base 8 of the second member 3, the hole diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the head 4a of the fitting portion 4. In the region where the recessed portion 8d of the base 8 of the second member 3 is formed, a receiving hole 8k is formed. The receiving hole 8k has an opening on the side of the passing portion 6 and a diameter larger than the diameter of the head 4a of the fitting portion 4. The bottom of the receiving hole 8k is formed by a plurality of protrusions 8m serving as the elastically deformable portion 5a extending from the wall of the receiving hole 8k toward the center of the base 8. The tips of the plurality of protrusions 8m are positioned on the arc of an imaginary circle (not shown), and the diameter of this imaginary circle is slightly smaller than the diameter of the head 4a of the fitting portion 4. In the illustrated example, the through hole 5b is formed by the tips of the plurality of protrusions 8m. In the illustrated example, the through hole is formed by four protrusions 8m formed with a gap between adjacent protrusions 8m in the direction around the center of the base 8.

[0042] The fitting portion 4 of the first member 2 is allowed to fit into the receiving portion 5 of the second member 3 by elastic deformation of the multiple protrusions 8m. When the fitting portion 4 is fitted into the receiving portion 5 to a position where the outer surface of the base 8 of the first member 2 contacts the outer surface of the base 8 of the second member 3, the multiple protrusions 8m elastically return to their original position and catch on the head 4a from the outer surface side. The head 4a is also fitted into the receiving hole 8k between the band-shaped body W and the protrusions 8m (see Figure 4). This engages the first member 2 and the second member 3. In the first example, in the engaged state, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 in a state where it can rotate around the fitting portion 4 or rotate relatively to the first member 2.

[0043] As a result, the fitting portion 4 is releasably received in the receiving portion 5 in a state in which it is rotatable around or relatively rotatable about the fitting portion 4. Therefore, even when the first member 2 and the second member 3 are oriented so that the band-shaped body W passing through the first member 2 and the band-shaped body W passing through the second member 3 cross each other, the fitting portion 4 can be received in the receiving portion 5 to engage and combine the first member 2 and the second member 3, making it possible to combine the two members without the need for strict alignment.

[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, in the engaged state, one of the first member 2 and the second member 3 is formed with a convex portion 11 that fits into a groove 10 formed around the center of the rotation or relative rotation relative to the other of the first member 2 and the second member 3.

[0045] In the illustrated example, the grooves 10 are formed on the outer surface of the second member 3 (the second surface 8c of the main body 8a of the base 8) at opposing positions across the center of the base 8, which is the center of the rotation or relative rotation. At the same time, the protrusions 11 are formed on the outer surface of the first member 2 (the second surface 8c of the main body 8a of the base 8) at opposing positions across the center of the base 8. In the illustrated example, the convex portion 11 has a rib shape that continues in a direction around the center of the rotation or relative rotation. The groove 10 has a total length that is longer than the length of the convex portion 11. This limits the rotation or relative rotation to a certain range rather than being unlimited, thereby preventing problems such as entanglement of the band-shaped body W.

[0046] In the first example, the first member 2 and the second member 3 each have two outlet openings 9 for the strip W that communicate with the passage portion 6. At the same time, the base 8 of the first member 2 and the base 8 of the second member 3 each have a fin portion 12 that extends outward from the opening edge of the drawer opening 9 and extends at an angle toward the opposite side of the outer surface so that the distance between the outer surface of the base 8 facing the inner surface facing the passing portion 6 gradually increases as the extending end is approached. That is, the base 8 has two fin portions 12. The two fin portions 12 are configured to be symmetrical with respect to the center of the base 8. The fin portions 12 are plate-shaped with a width equal to that of the recessed portion 8d. The base of the fin portion 12 is integrated with the thickness surface portion 8h of the base 8, and one surface 12b thereof is continuous with the bottom surface of the recessed portion 8d. Both the one surface 12b and the other surface opposite thereto of the fin portion 12 are inclined toward the extending end 12a so that the distance between the inner surface facing the passing portion 6 and the outer surface of the base 8 (the second surface portion 8c of the main body portion 8a) opposing thereto gradually increases.

[0047] The first member 2 and the second member 3 are engaged with each other so that the outer surfaces of the bases 8 (the second surface 8c of the main body 8a) face each other. The band W pulled out from one of the two drawer openings 9 of the first member 2 is adjacent to the band W pulled out from one of the two drawer openings 9 of the second member 3, and the band W pulled out from the other of the two drawer openings 9 of the first member 2 is adjacent to the band W pulled out from the other of the two drawer openings 9 of the second member 3. The fin portion 12 allows a gap S to be formed between the bands W near the adjacent drawer openings 9. This makes it possible to easily slide the accessory 1 by inserting a finger into the gap S, using the band W as a guide to change the fastening position of the engaged accessory 1. In addition, by inserting a finger into the gap S, it is possible to easily perform the operation of releasing the engagement state, that is, the operation of pulling out the fitting portion 4 of the first member 2 from the receiving portion 5 of the second member 3 to separate the two.

[0048] (Example 2) 30 and 31 show a second example in which the configuration of the accessory 1 according to the first example described above is partially modified. In the second example, a gap S is formed between the strips W near adjacent drawer openings 9 without relying on the fin portion 12. The remaining configuration of the second example is substantially the same as that of the first example, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0049] In the second example as well, the first member 2 and the second member 3 each have two outlet openings 9 for the strip W that communicate with the passage portion 6 . At the same time, the base 8 of the first member 2 and the base 8 of the second member 3 each have a portion of their inner surfaces facing the passage 6 that is located in front of the edge of the drawer opening 9 and continues to the edge of the opening, inclined in a direction that gradually increases the distance from the outer surface of the base 8 as it approaches the drawer opening 9. That is, the base 8 has a part of the inner surface (bottom surface of the recessed portion 8d) facing the passage portion 6 inclined as described above as an inclined guide portion 13, and is provided with these inclined guide portions 13 in two locations. The two inclined guide portions 13 are configured to be symmetrical with respect to the center of the base 8. In the illustrated example, the inclined guide portion 13 is formed between the groove 8g formed in the main body portion 8a of the base 8 and the outer edge of the first surface portion 8b of the main body portion 8a. In this third example, the inclined guide portion 13 is configured to form a gap S between the strips W near the adjacent drawer openings 9. In the illustrated example, a portion 7h of one surface of the disc portion 7a of the cover 7 facing the inclined guide portion 13 is inclined to follow the inclination of the inclined guide portion 13 so as to ensure that the gap formed between it and the inclined guide portion 13 remains constant at any position.

[0050] (Example 3) 32 shows a third example in which the configuration of the first example is partially modified. In the third example, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 in the engaged state, allowing a certain range of movement or relative movement in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion 4 into the receiving portion 5. Furthermore, in this third example, in the engaged state, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 in a state of rotation about the fitting portion 4 or relative rotation. The remaining configuration of the second example is substantially the same as that of the first example, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0051] In the third example, the receiving portion 5 is configured by a separation groove 14 formed along an imaginary line segment passing through the center of the main body portion 8a of the base 8. The width of the groove 8g of the split groove 14 is slightly smaller than the head 4a of the fitting portion 4, and is substantially equal to the diameter of the portion below the head 4a. In the illustrated example, the groove 14 has a first portion 14a extending along the continuous direction of the recessed portion 8d, and a second portion 14b perpendicular to the first portion 14a and intersecting with the center of the main body portion 8a of the base 8, forming a cross shape. The distance between the center of the main body 8a of the base 8 and the two terminals of the first portion 14a, and the distance between the center of the main body 8a of the base 8 and the two terminals of the second portion 14b are larger than the diameter of the portion below the head 4a of the fitting portion 4. A circular hole 15 is formed in the main body 8a of the base 8, recessed from the inner surface (the bottom surface of the recessed portion 8d) facing the passage portion 6 toward the outer surface (the second surface portion 8c of the main body portion 8a of the base 8), and the dividing groove 14 is formed in the outer surface portion of the main body 8a of the base 8 directly below the circular hole 15, which has been thinned by the circular hole 15. As a result, the outer surface portion facing the dividing groove 14 becomes the elastically deformable portion 5a, which is formed so as to be continuous in the movement direction.

[0052] The fitting portion 4 can be received in the split groove 14 by elastic deformation of the outer surface portion, and the fitting portion 4 is engaged with the receiving portion 5 by elastic return of the outer surface portion when the head 4a enters the circular hole. As a result, the fitting portion 4 is releasably received in the receiving portion 5 while allowing movement within a certain range in a direction perpendicular to the receiving direction of the fitting portion 4 or relative movement. In the illustrated example, movement of the fitting portion 4 along the first portion 14a and movement along the second portion 14b are permitted. Therefore, the fitting portion 4 can be received in the receiving portion 5 at any position within the certain range of movement, thereby engaging and combining the first member 2 and the second member 3, and it becomes possible to combine the two members without the need for strict alignment. In addition, in this third example, the head 4a of the fitting portion 4 and the portion below the head 4a have a circular cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the fitting portion 4, and the head 4a is capable of rotation within the circular hole or relative rotation. As a result, in this third example, in the engaged state, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 in a state of rotation around the fitting portion 4 or relative rotation.

[0053] The provision of elastic deformation characteristics to the parts of the accessory 1 described above that should have such characteristics can be easily achieved by making all or part of the components of the accessory 1 molded from synthetic resin.

[0054] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes all embodiments that can achieve the object of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
