DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a fan according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Figs. The fan 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises a fan body 2 formed in the shape of a thin plate, and a handle 4 for holding that is movably attached to one end of the fan body 2 via a handle holder 3. The user can blow air with this fan 1 by gripping the handle 4 and shaking it. In the following, when indicating directions in explaining the components of the fan 1, the direction in which the handle 4 protrudes from one end 2a of the fan body 2 to which the handle holder 3 is attached in the usage form shown in Fig. 1 (the direction toward the outside of the fan body 2) is referred to as the first direction, and the direction from one end 2a of the fan body 2 toward the other end 2b is referred to as the second direction. In addition, the direction perpendicular to the first (second) direction and running along the fan body 2 is referred to as the left-right direction.
[0014] The fan body 2 is formed into a thin plate shape using paper, a plastic sheet, or the like. Patterns 5 and 6 are printed on the front surface 2A (see FIG. 2) and the back surface 2B (see FIG. 1), respectively, of the fan body 2. In addition, one end portion 2a of the fan body 2 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 7 (see FIG. 5) for attaching a handle holder 3, which will be described later.
[0015] As shown in Fig. 5, the handle holder 3 is composed of a holder body 8 and a holder cover 9 that sandwich the fan body 2 from both sides in the thickness direction. In this embodiment, the holder cover 9 is located on the front side of the fan body 2, and the holder body 8 is located on the back side of the fan body 2. In this case, the holder cover 9 corresponds to the "first half" in this invention, and the holder body 8 corresponds to the "second half" in this invention.
[0016] The holder body 8 and the holder cover 9 are fixed to the fan body 2 by a connecting structure 11 that connects the holder body 8 and the holder cover 9. The connecting structure 11 has a plurality of engagement pins 12-14 that protrude from the holder cover 9. In this embodiment, the engagement pins 12-14 are each formed in a cylindrical shape that extends in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fan body 2. The first through hole 7 of the fan body 2 is formed so that these engagement pins 12-14 can be inserted therethrough.
[0017] These engagement pins 12 to 14 are provided at two locations aligned in the left-right direction at the end of holder cover 9 in the second direction, and at the center of holder cover 9. The two engagement pins 12, 13 provided at the two locations aligned in the left-right direction are hereinafter referred to as first and second engagement pins 12, 13, and the other engagement pin is referred to as third engagement pin 14. The first and second engagement pins 12, 13 are formed longer than the third engagement pin 14.
[0018] These first to third engagement pins 12 to 14 are erected on a flat contact surface 15 (see FIG. 6) that contacts the surface 2A of the fan body 2 of the holder cover 9. Furthermore, engagement grooves 16 are formed at the tips of these first to third engagement pins 12 to 14, as shown in FIG. The holder cover 9 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed in a planar view from the thickness direction of the fan body 2, and a first convex portion 17 protruding from the abutment surface 15 is formed at one end portion which is the end portion in the first direction.
[0019] On the other hand, the holder body 8 is formed with first to third engagement holes 18-20 with which the first to third engagement pins 12-14 engage, as shown in Fig. 7. The first to third engagement holes 18-20 have claw pieces 21 which engage with the engagement grooves 16 of the first to third engagement pins 12-14, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The first to third engagement pins 12-14 of the holder cover 9 pass through the first through hole 7 of the fan body 2, penetrating the fan body 2 in the thickness direction and engaging with the first to third engagement holes 18-20, thereby connecting the holder cover 9 to the holder body 8 and sandwiching the fan body 2 in the thickness direction between the holder body 8 and the holder cover 9. The first protrusion 17 of the holder cover 9 is formed so as to be positioned outward from the fan body 2 in the first direction when the holder cover 9 is attached to the fan body 2, as shown in Figures 8 and 9.
[0020] As shown in Figures 6 to 9, the holder body 8 according to this embodiment is formed into a rectangular plate shape in a plan view, and is formed with a second through hole 22 extending in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fan body 2. A handle 4, which will be described later, fits movably into the second through hole 22. In this embodiment, the second through hole corresponds to the "through hole" referred to in the present invention. The holder body 8 is fixed to one end of the fan body 2 with the second through-hole 22 extending in the second direction (from one end 2a toward the other end 2b of the fan body 2). As shown in FIG. 9, a third engagement hole 20 is formed in an inner hole wall 22a of the second through-hole 22 that is located on the fan body 2 side. As shown in Figure 6, the outer hole wall 22b of the second through hole 22, located opposite the fan body 2, has an oval-shaped third through hole 24 formed therein, which forms part of the stopper structure 23 (see Figure 1) described later.
[0021] As shown in Figures 10 to 12, the handle 4 is rod-shaped and formed into a shape of an elongated strip that fits into the second through-hole 22 of the holder body 8, and is configured to be movable in a first direction and a second direction relative to the handle holder 3. A plate-shaped piece 25 is formed at the end of the handle 4 in the second direction, and a clip 26 (see Figures 13 and 14) that becomes part of the stopper structure 23 is attached via this plate-shaped piece 25. Hereinafter, the end of the handle 4 in the second direction will be simply referred to as the "base end 4a," and the end of the handle 4 in the first direction will be simply referred to as the "tip end 4b."
[0022] The stopper structure 23 restricts movement of the handle 4 relative to the handle holder 3 when the handle 4 moves in a first direction and reaches the grippable use position shown in Figures 1 and 2. As shown in Figure 15, the stopper structure 23 according to this embodiment is composed of a first stopper portion 23A that restricts movement of the handle 4 in a first direction (leftward in Figure 15) and a second stopper portion 23B that restricts movement of the handle 4 in a second direction.
[0023] The first stopper portion 23A according to this embodiment is constituted by a clip 26 attached to the base end 4a of the handle 4. As shown in Figs. 13(A), (B) and 14(A) and (B), the clip 26 is constituted by a clip holder 27 attached to the base end 4a (plate-shaped piece 25) of the handle 4 in an overlapping state from the side opposite the fan body 2, and a clip body 28 assembled to the clip holder 27 from the side opposite the handle 4. Figs. 13(A) and 14(A) are perspective views showing the state in which the clip is attached to the handle, and Figs. 13(B) and 14(B) are exploded perspective views of the clip.
[0024] The clip holder 27 is formed to a size such that it cannot enter the second through-hole 22 of the holder body 8. That is, the first stopper portion 23A is provided at the base end portion 4a of the handle 4 so as not to enter the second through-hole 22, and restricts the movement of the handle 4 in the first direction. 13(A), (B) and 14(A), (B), clip holder 27 is attached to handle 4 by inserting plate-like piece 25 of handle 4 into recess 29 formed at the end of clip holder 27 in the first direction and fitting two pins 30 protruding from recess 29 into two fourth through-holes 31 (see FIG. 10) of plate-like piece 25. As shown in FIG. 10, a hole 32 having a rectangular opening is formed between the two fourth through-holes 31 in plate-like piece 25.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 13(B) and FIG. 14(B), the clip body 28 is formed by an attachment portion 33 that is attached to the clip holder 27, and an elastic piece 34 that protrudes from the attachment portion 33. A hook 35 protrudes from an end in the first direction of the mounting portion 33. Grooves 36 extending in a direction parallel to the first direction are formed on both left and right sides of the mounting portion 33.
[0026] As shown in Figure 14(B), the clip holder 27 to which the clip body 28 is attached has an opening 37 into which the attachment part 33 is inserted, and a pair of protrusions 38 which engage with the groove 36. When the attachment part 33 of the clip body 28 is inserted into the opening 37 of the clip holder 27 and the protrusions 38 are inserted into the groove 36, the hook 35 is locked in the hole 32 of the plate-like piece 25, as shown in Figures 14(A) and 15. When the hook 35 is locked in the plate-like piece 25 in this manner, the clip holder 27 cannot be removed from the base end 4a (plate-like piece 25) of the handle 4. The elastic piece 34 of the clip body 28 has one end in the second direction formed integrally with the mounting portion 33 and extends from this end in the first direction, and is configured so as to be able to clamp a thin article between itself and the outer surface 27a (see Figure 13 (A)) of the clip holder 27.
[0027] The second stopper portion 23B is composed of a protrusion 41 (see FIG. 10) formed in a cantilever shape inside the handle 4 and an oval third through hole 24 of the handle holder 3 (holder body 8). The protrusion 41 is formed so as to extend in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction (first and second directions) of the handle 4, and is connected to another part of the handle 4 via a spring portion 41a located at one end in the first direction. The spring portion 41a is formed so as to essentially become a leaf spring due to the elasticity of the handle 4 itself. An operating projection 42 is provided at the tip end of the protrusion 41, i.e., the end in the second direction, in a direction away from the fan body 2. The end of the operating projection 42 in the first direction is inclined so that the amount of protrusion gradually decreases as it moves away from the base end 4a of the handle 4. A movement restriction projection 41b is provided at the center of the longitudinal direction of the protrusion 41.
[0028] This protrusion 41 can be displaced in the thickness direction of the fan body 2 by elastically deforming the spring portion 41a. The operating protrusion 42 provided at the tip of the protrusion 41 protrudes on the opposite side of the fan body 2 from the other parts of the handle 4 when the spring portion 41a is in its natural state, not elastically deformed, as shown in Fig. 11. In this natural state, the operating protrusion 42 cannot enter the second through-hole 22 of the holder body 8. However, by pressing the operating protrusion 42 toward the fan body 2 and elastically deforming the spring portion 41a, the operating protrusion 42 can enter the second through-hole 22.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 10, a second protrusion 43 is formed on the tip 4b of the handle 4. In this embodiment, the second protrusion 43 corresponds to the "protrusion" in the present invention. This second protrusion 43 is formed to a size that cannot enter the second through hole 22 of the holder body 8, and is configured to hit the handle holder 3 (holder body 8) when the handle 4 moves in the second direction. As shown in FIG. 3, this second protrusion 43 overlaps with the first protrusion 17 of the holder cover 9 in the thickness direction of the fan body 2 when it hits the handle holder 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the second protrusion 43 abuts against the handle holder 3, so that the handle 4 is positioned at a storage position stored inside the fan body 2. The fan 1 according to this embodiment can adopt a storage form in which the handle 4 is stored inside the fan body 2 in this way.
[0030] As shown in Fig. 2, an engagement protrusion 44 is formed on the surface of the tip 4b of the handle 4 facing the fan body 2. As shown in Fig. 16, this engagement protrusion 44 is formed so as to engage with an engagement recess 45 formed on the first protrusion 17 when the handle 4 is in the stored position. When the engagement protrusion 44 is engaged with the engagement recess 45, resistance is applied to the handle 4 when it moves in the first direction, so that the handle 4 can be held in the stored position. That is, the handle 4 and the handle holder 3 are provided with an uneven structure 46 that applies resistance to the handle 4 when it moves in the first direction by engaging the engagement protrusion 44 with the engagement recess 45.
[0031] To assemble the fan 1 configured in this manner, for example, first, the base end 4a of the handle 4 is inserted into the second through-hole 22 of the holder body 8. At this time, the handle 4 is moved in the second direction while pressing the operating protrusion 42. Then, the handle 4 is advanced so that the operating protrusion 42 passes through the second through-hole 22 and emerges on the opposite side of the holder body 8. At this time, the handle 4 can also be advanced so that the operating protrusion 42 emerges from the third through-hole 24 of the holder body 8. Thereafter, the clip holder 27 is attached to the plate-like piece 25 of the base end 4a of the handle 4, and then the clip body 28 is attached to the clip holder 27.
[0032] Next, the first to third engagement pins 12-14 of the holder cover 9 are passed through the first through-hole 7 of the fan body 2, and the holder body 8 is placed on the fan body 2 so that the first to third engagement pins 12-14 enter the first to third engagement holes 18-20. The holder body 8 is then pressed against the holder cover 9, and the first to third engagement pins 12-14 are engaged with the first to third engagement holes 18-20. By engaging the first to third engagement pins 12-14 with the first to third engagement holes 18-20 in this manner, the fan body 2 is sandwiched between the holder body 8 and the holder cover 9, and the handle holder 3 is fixed to the fan body 2.
[0033] Note that, although the assembly procedure for holding the handle 4 on the holder body 8 before attaching the holder body 8 to the holder cover 9 has been described here, it is also possible to clamp the fan body 2 between the holder body 8 and the holder cover 9, then insert the handle 4 into the second through-hole 22 of the holder body 8 and attach the clip 26. In this case, the clip holder 27 of the clip 26 can be attached to the plate-like piece 25 of the handle 4 by moving it in parallel towards the fan body 2. The clip body 28 can be attached to the clip holder 27 by moving it in parallel along the fan body 2.
[0034] When using the fan 1, the handle 4 is positioned in the use position shown in Figures 1 and 2. When the position of the handle 4 is different from the position shown in Figures 1 and 2, such as when the handle 4 is in the stored position, and the operating protrusion 42 of the handle 4 is positioned outside the holder body 8 in the second direction, the handle 4 is moved in the first direction relative to the handle holder 3. When the handle 4 moves in this manner, the inclined portion of the operating protrusion 42 hits the opening edge of the second through-hole 22 and is pushed towards the fan body 2.
[0035] Then, by further advancing the handle 4 in the first direction, the protrusion 41 elastically deforms and the operating protrusion 42 enters the second through-hole 22. When the handle 4 advances further and the operating protrusion 42 reaches the third through-hole 24 of the holder body 8, the elastically deformed protrusion 41 returns to its original shape and the operating protrusion 42 is inserted into the third through-hole 24. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15, the movement restricting protrusion 41b overlaps with the opening edge of the second through-hole 22. With the operating protrusion 42 thus inserted into the third through-hole 24, the handle 4 is held in the use position shown in FIG. 1.
[0036] When the handle 4 is in the use position, movement of the handle 4 in the first direction is restricted by the clip holder 27 hitting the holder body 8. On the other hand, movement of the handle 4 in the second direction is restricted by the operation protrusion 42 and the movement restriction protrusion 41b hitting the holder body 8. When the handle 4 is in the use position, the patterns 5, 6 are not obstructed by the handle holder 3, handle 4, clip 26, etc., on either the front surface 2A or the back surface 2B of the fan body 2, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Furthermore, when the handle 4 is in the use position, the first protrusion 17 overlaps with the part of the handle 4 that protrudes from the second through-hole 22. This allows the force exerted when swinging the handle 4 to fan to be distributed to both the holder body 8 and the holder cover 9, and prevents the connection between the holder body 8 and the holder cover 9 from coming loose due to the reaction force applied by the fan body 2.
[0037] To move the handle 4 to the storage position shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the user pushes the operating protrusion 42 into the third through-hole 24 with his / her finger and moves the handle 4 in the second direction. This operation causes the operating protrusion 42 to enter the second through-hole 22, disengage from the handle holder 3, and pass through the second through-hole 22 to the outside of the handle holder 3. In this state, the handle 4 can be moved to the storage position shown in Figs. 3 and 4. When the handle 4 reaches the storage position, the second protrusion 43 of the handle 4 abuts against the handle holder 3, and further movement is restricted. At this time, the engaging protrusion 44 of the handle 4 engages with the engaging recess 45 of the holder cover 9 (first protrusion 17), and the handle 4 is held in that position. When the handle 4 is stored in the storage position, there are no parts that protrude significantly from the fan body 2, making the fan 1 compact and easy to store in, for example, a bag. Also, the fan 1 can be kept on the person's body by hanging the clip 26 in, for example, a pocket of clothing such as a jacket.
[0038] Therefore, according to this embodiment, a fan can be provided that has a structure that allows the handle 4 to be stored, while still allowing the user to grasp the handle 4 and hold the fan 1 without hiding the image on the fan body.
[0039] In fan 1 according to this embodiment, stopper structure 23 comprises first stopper portion 23A provided at base end 4a of handle 4 so as not to allow it to enter second through-hole 22, and second stopper portion 23B which restricts movement of handle 4 in the second direction by engaging protrusion 41, which is provided displaceably on handle 4 via spring portion 41a, with handle holder 3. As a result, handle 4 can be securely held in the usage position, making it possible to realize a fan that is easy to use, even though the handle 4 is configured to be retractable.
[0040] In fan 1 according to this embodiment, the end of handle 4 in the first direction is provided with second protrusion 43 that is too large to enter second through-hole 22. The ends of handle holder 3 and handle 4 in the first direction are provided with uneven structure 46 that provides resistance when handle 4 moves in the first direction by engagement between engaging recess 45 and engaging protrusion 44 with second protrusion 43 abutting handle holder 3. This makes it possible to prevent the handle 4 located in the storage position from protruding outside the fan body 2 unnecessarily.
[0041] In the fan 1 according to this embodiment, the handle holder 3 comprises a first half (holder cover 9) located on the front side of the fan body 2, a second half (holder body 8) located on the back side of the fan body 2, and a connecting structure 11 connecting the first half and the second half. The connecting structure 11 comprises first to third engagement pins 12 to 14 protruding from the second half so as to extend in the thickness direction of the fan body 2, and first to third engagement holes 18 to 20 provided in the second half and engaging with the first to third engagement pins 12 to 14. The first to third engagement pins 12 to 14 penetrate the fan body 2 in the thickness direction and engage with the first to third engagement holes 18 to 20, thereby connecting the second half to the first half and sandwiching the fan body 2 between the first and second halves in the thickness direction. Therefore, the handle holder 3 can be firmly attached to the thin fan body 2, so that the handle holder 3 can be reliably prevented from coming off the fan body 2 when the fan 1 is used for fanning.
[0042] In the fan 1 according to this embodiment, a clip 26 is provided at the base end 4a of the handle 4. Therefore, the fan 1 can be worn by hanging the clip 26 on clothing such as a jacket, or a sheet (not shown) separate from the fan 1 can be attached by clamping it to the clip 26.
[0043] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been shown in which the first to third engagement pins 12-14 are provided on the holder cover 9, and the first to third engagement holes 18-20 are provided on the holder body 8. However, the fan 1 according to the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. In other words, the first to third engagement pins 12-14 may be provided on the holder body 8, and the first to third engagement holes 18-20 may be provided on the holder cover 9.
