[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a can badge. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a can badge. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a can badge. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] <Embodiment 1> A first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. First, Fig. 1 (1-1) shows the configuration of the front side of a can badge, and Fig. 1 (1-2) shows the configuration of the back side of the can badge.

[0010] As shown in Fig. 1, the can badge in this embodiment has a rectangular outer shape. The outer shape of the can badge is not limited to being strictly rectangular, and may be approximately rectangular with the four corners of the rectangle being chamfered in a predetermined shape, such as rounded. The outer shape of the can badge is not limited to being rectangular, and may be any shape, such as a polygon or a circle.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 1 (1-1), the surface of the can badge is formed as a decorative surface 1. In Fig. 1, the decorative surface 1 is decorated with a checkered pattern as an example, but the decorative surface may be decorated with any type of decoration, such as figures, letters, or symbols.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1 (1-2), the reverse side of the decorative surface 1 of the can badge is formed as an attachment surface 2 facing the object to which it is to be attached. The decorative surface 1 and the attachment surface 2 of the can badge are each formed of different substantially plate-like members, and a predetermined gap is formed between the decorative surface 1 and the attachment surface 2. The decorative surface 1 and the attachment surface 2 of the can badge are formed, for example, from tinplate coated with tin. However, the can badge may be formed from any material.

[0013] The mounting surface 2 of the can badge is formed with mounting parts 30, 40 for mounting a safety pin 5 used to attach the can badge to an object. Each mounting part 30, 40 is configured with a pair of holes used to attach one safety pin 5, and in this embodiment, two mounting parts 30, 40, a first mounting part 30 and a second mounting part 40, are formed on the mounting surface 2.

[0014] Specifically, the first mounting portion 30 is configured with a pair of two holes 31, 32 arranged along the direction of the short side of the rectangular outer shape of the can badge (first direction). In the example of FIG. 1 (1-2), the first mounting portion 30 is formed at a position spaced a predetermined distance from one of the short sides of the can badge. The two paired holes 31, 32 of the first mounting portion 30 are formed to have different sizes. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 (1-2), one hole 31 of the first mounting portion 30 is formed to be larger than the other hole 32. The two paired holes 31, 32 of the first mounting portion 30 communicate with each other on the inner side of the mounting surface 2, that is, between the mounting surface 2 and the decorative surface 1.

[0015] A pin member constituting a safety pin 5 is inserted into the pair of holes 31, 32 of the first attachment portion 30 formed as described above. Here, Fig. 2 (2-1) shows a state in which the safety pin 5 is attached to the first attachment portion 30 formed on the attachment surface 2 of the can badge. Note that Fig. 2 (2-2) is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the first attachment portion 30 on the attachment surface 2 side of the can badge.

[0016] 2, the safety pin 5 generally includes a fastening portion 51 at one end, a spring portion 52 at the other end, and two pin members 53, 54 extending therebetween. The two pin members 53, 54 of the safety pin 5 are arranged in parallel, and one pin member 53 is a detachable pin 53 whose other end is connected to the spring portion 52 and whose tip, which is one end, is detachable from the fastening portion 51, while the other pin member 54 is a fixed pin 54 whose other end is connected to the spring portion 52 and whose one end is fixed to the fastening portion 51. In the example of FIG. 2, the detachable pin 53 of the safety pin 5 is inserted into each of the holes 31, 32 of the first attachment portion 30. As a result, the detachable pin 53 is positioned on the inner side of the mounting surface 2 located between each hole portion 31, 32 of the first mounting portion 30, that is, between the mounting surface 2 located between each hole portion 31, 32 and the decorative surface 1, and by fastening the tip of the detachable pin 53 to the fastening portion 51, the safety pin 5 can be attached to the first mounting portion 30.

[0017] At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, one of the holes 31 is located on the side of the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5, and the fastening portion 51 is housed in the one of the holes 31. Also, the other of the holes 32 is located on the side of the spring portion 52 of the safety pin 5, and the spring portion 52 is housed in the other of the holes 32. That is, in this embodiment, one of the holes 31 constituting the first attachment portion 30 is formed to a size capable of housing the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5, and the other of the holes 32 is formed to a size capable of housing the spring portion 52 of the safety pin 5. As a result, even when the safety pin 5 is attached to the can badge, the fastening portion 51 and the spring portion 52 located at each end of the safety pin 5 are housed in the holes 31 and 32 constituting the first attachment portion 30, respectively, and it is possible to suppress the protrusion of both ends of the safety pin 5 toward the attachment surface 2 of the can badge and suppress the thickness of the can badge to which the safety pin 5 is attached.

[0018] In the above example, the safety pin 5 is attached by inserting the detachable pin 53 of the safety pin 5 into the holes 31, 32 of the first attachment portion 30, but the safety pin 5 may be attached to the attachment surface 2 of the can badge by inserting the fixing pin 54 fixed to the fastening portion 51 and the spring portion 52 of the safety pin 5 into the holes 31, 32 of the first attachment portion 30 and arranging a part of the fixing pin 54 on the inner side of the attachment surface 2 located between the holes 31, 32. In this case, for example, the fixing pin 54 of the safety pin 5 may be inserted into the holes 31, 32 of the first attachment portion 30 without fixing one end of the fixing pin 54 to the fastening portion 51, and then the safety pin 5 may be attached to the first attachment portion 30 by fixing one end of the fixing pin 54 to the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5.

[0019] In the above example, it is assumed that the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5 is larger than the spring portion 52, and therefore one hole portion 31 of the first mounting portion 30 is formed larger than the other hole portion 32, but each hole portion 31, 32 may be formed to a size capable of accommodating the corresponding fastening portion 51 or spring portion 52. For example, when the spring portion 52 is formed to be larger than the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5, the other hole portion 32 may be formed to be larger than the one hole portion 31. However, each hole portion 31, 32 of the first mounting portion 30 may be formed to be the same size.

[0020] As described above, by attaching the safety pin 5 to the first attachment portion 30 formed along the short side of the can badge, the can badge can be attached to an object with the long side of the can badge positioned vertically using the safety pin 5. In this case, the object may be, for example, clothing or a bag through which the detachable pin 53 of the safety pin 5 can be inserted, or it may be an object on which the pin members 53, 54 of the safety pin 5 can be hooked.

[0021] Next, the second mounting portion 40 will be described. The second mounting portion 40 is composed of a pair of two holes 41, 42 arranged along the direction of the long side of the rectangular outer shape of the can badge (second direction). In the example of FIG. 1 (1-2), the second mounting portion 40 is formed at a position spaced a predetermined distance from one long side of the can badge. The two paired holes 41, 42 of the second mounting portion 40 are formed to have different sizes. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 (1-2), one hole 41 of the second mounting portion 40 is formed to be larger than the other hole 42. The two paired holes 41, 42 of the second mounting portion 40 communicate with each other on the inner side of the mounting surface 2, that is, between the mounting surface 2 and the decorative surface 1.

[0022] A safety pin 5 is also attached to the second attachment portion 40 formed as described above. Fig. 3 (3-1) shows the state when the safety pin 5 is attached to the second attachment portion 40 formed on the attachment surface 2 of the can badge. Note that Fig. 3 illustrates the can badge with the long side positioned horizontally, and Fig. 3 (3-2) is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the second attachment portion 40 of the can badge.

[0023] 3, the detachable pin 53 of the safety pin 5 is inserted into each of the holes 41, 42 of the second mounting part 40. As a result, the detachable pin 53 is positioned on the inner side of the mounting surface 2 located between the holes 41, 42 of the second mounting part 40, that is, between the mounting surface 2 located between the holes 41, 42 and the decorative surface 1. By fastening the tip of the detachable pin 53 to the fastening part 51, the safety pin 5 can be attached to the second mounting part 40.

[0024] At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, one of the holes 41 is located on the side of the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5, and the fastening portion 51 is housed in the one of the holes 41. Also, the other of the holes 42 is located on the side of the spring portion 52 of the safety pin 5, and the spring portion 52 is housed in the other of the holes 42. That is, in this embodiment, one of the holes 41 constituting the second attachment portion 40 is formed in a size capable of housing the fastening portion 51 of the safety pin 5, and the other of the holes 42 is formed in a size capable of housing the spring portion 52 of the safety pin 5. As a result, even when the safety pin 5 is attached to the can badge, the fastening portion 51 and the spring portion 52 located at each end of the safety pin 5 are housed in the holes 41, 42 constituting the second attachment portion 40, respectively, and the protrusion of both ends of the safety pin 5 toward the attachment surface 2 of the can badge is suppressed, and the thickness of the can badge to which the safety pin 5 is attached can be suppressed.

[0025] In the above example, the safety pin 5 is attached by inserting the detachable pin 53 of the safety pin 5 into each of the holes 41, 42 of the second attachment portion 40, but similar to the above-mentioned attachment method to the first attachment portion 30, the safety pin 5 may be attached to the attachment surface 2 of the can badge by inserting the fixing pin 54 fixed to the fastening portion 51 and the spring portion 52 of the safety pin 5 into each of the holes 41, 42 of the second attachment portion 40. Also, similar to the above-mentioned first attachment portion 30, it is sufficient that each of the holes 41, 42 of the second attachment portion 40 is formed to a size capable of accommodating the corresponding fastening portion 51 or spring portion 52, and the other hole 42 may be formed larger than one hole 41, or each of the holes 31, 32 may be formed to be the same size.

[0026] As described above, by attaching the safety pin 5 to the second attachment portion 40 formed along the long side of the can badge, the can badge can be attached to an object with the long side of the can badge positioned horizontally using the safety pin 5. As a result, by attaching the safety pin 5 to the first attachment portion 30, the can badge can be attached to an object with the long side of the can badge positioned vertically, and by attaching the safety pin 5 to the second attachment portion 40, the can badge can be attached to an object with the long side of the can badge positioned horizontally. As a result, the decorativeness of the can badge can be improved. In addition, at this time, the fastener portion 51 and the spring portion 52 located at each end of the safety pin 5 are housed in the hole portions 31, 32, 41, and 42, respectively, so that the thickness of the can badge with the safety pin 5 attached can be suppressed, and the decorativeness of the can badge when attached to an object can be further improved.

[0027] In the above, an example was given of a case in which two attachment parts 30, 40, such as the first attachment part 30 and the second attachment part 40, are formed on the attachment surface 2 of the can badge, but attachment parts may be formed in other locations, that is, attachment parts may be formed in three or more locations. For example, a third attachment part (not shown) may be formed in a position adjacent to the short side opposite to the short side adjacent to the first attachment part 30 of the attachment surface 2, and a safety pin 5 may be attached thereto. Each of the attachment parts formed in multiple locations on the attachment surface 2 may be formed along any direction of the can badge.

[0028] 2 (2-1) and 3 (3-1), a plate-shaped magnet 21 may be provided on the mounting surface 2 of the can badge. For example, the magnet 21 is formed of a rectangular thin plate smaller than the outer shape of the mounting surface 2, and may be attached to the mounting surface 2 by magnetic force or with an adhesive or the like. This allows the can badge to be attached to an attachment object made of a magnetic material using the magnetic force of the magnet 21.

[0029] Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.
