Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to fur ornaments. [Background technology]

[0002] Hair ornaments include hair clips with ornaments attached. Conventional hair clips have multiple rod-shaped elastic members arranged in a comb shape, and the hair is held by elastic force between the vicinity of the tip of each elastic member and a plate-shaped support member facing the vicinity (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3029292 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a hair ornament is attached, the ornament usually protrudes from the hair. Therefore, the ornament is likely to come into contact with external objects. When the ornament comes into contact with an external object, the force applied at the time of contact can easily cause the hair ornament to shift from its attached position or come off. For this reason, it is also important to be able to maintain the hair ornament attached more stably. Some people attach hair ornaments to the fur of their pets. When attaching hair ornaments to pet fur, it is thought that the ornaments will come into contact with external objects in many cases. For fur ornaments intended to be attached to pet fur, it is necessary to take such circumstances into consideration.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a fur ornament that can be more stably maintained when attached. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One embodiment of the fur ornament disclosed herein comprises a substrate, a flat member to which the substrate is attached, a number of elastic rod-shaped members attached to the substrate, a plate-shaped member to which pressure is applied by portions near the tips of the plurality of rod-shaped members, and an ornament attached to the flat member on the side opposite the substrate. Effect of the Invention

[0007] The present invention allows the attached state to be maintained more stably. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is merely an example, including modified examples, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Various modified examples are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[0010] FIG. 1 is an external view showing an example of a fur ornament according to an embodiment of the present invention. This fur ornament 1 is intended to be attached mainly to a pet's fur. As shown in Fig. 1, the fur ornament 1 comprises an ornament 2 resembling a plant, two stacked flat plate-like members 3 and 4, a base plate 5 attached to the flat plate-like member 4 on the side opposite to the ornament 2, and a number of rod-like members 6 attached to the base plate 5. The base plate 5 and the rod-like members 6 are components of a clip section (see Fig. 2; details will be described later) for attaching the fur ornament 1 to the fur.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the ornament 2 is roughly divided into an exposed portion 2A that is exposed to the outside, and an attachment portion 2B that is an end portion not exposed to the outside and is used for attachment. The mounting portion 2B has a flat plate shape and is disposed between the flat plate members 3 and 4. The flat plate member 3 is provided with a hole (not shown) for passing a portion extending from the mounting portion 2B. As a result, the mounting portion 2B is supported by the two flat plate members 3 and 4 while being sandwiched between them. The two flat plate members 3 and 4 are overlapped in order to prevent the mounting portion 2B from being exposed to the outside, while allowing the ornament 2 to maintain a more stable state.

[0012] The clip portion is attached to the flat plate member 4. Therefore, the member for the attachment is exposed on the surface of the flat plate member 4 opposite the clip portion. The two flat plate members 3, 4 are overlapped in order to prevent the member from being exposed and thus to avoid impairing the appearance. In this embodiment, the two flat plate members 3 and 4 are made of a flexible material. The flexible material is not particularly limited, but felt is used in this embodiment.

[0013] When such a material is used, even if an impact is applied to the exposed portion 2A, at least a part of the impact is absorbed by the two flat plate members 3, 4. Even if an impact is applied that rotates the flat plate members 3, 4, the flat plate members 3, 4 can mitigate the impact by deformation. As a result, the fur ornament 1 can maintain its attached state more stably even if an impact is applied to the exposed portion 2A.

[0014] In this invention, the ornament 2 is made of a flexible material so that the attached state can be maintained more stably. Therefore, an impact applied to the ornament 2 will deform the ornament 2. Due to the deformation of the ornament 2, the magnitude of the impact actually transmitted to the ornament 2 becomes smaller. For this reason, it is useful to make the ornament 2 from a flexible material so that the attached state can be maintained more stably. The material, shape, size, etc. of the ornament 1 are not particularly limited.

[0015] The clip part is the part that is expected to come into direct contact with the pet. The elasticity of the metal rod-shaped member 6 is utilized to attach it to the pet's fur. The flat plate-shaped members 3 and 4 prevent the transmission of shocks, etc. applied to the exposed portion 2A to the clip part. This not only allows the fur ornament 1 to be more stably maintained in the attached state, but also contributes to further improving the safety of the fur ornament 1. In this embodiment, two flat plate members 3 and 4 are bonded together. The number of flat plate members to be stacked may be three or more. The material to be used for each flat plate member may be determined individually.

[0016] 2 is a plan view showing an example of a clip portion used in the fur ornament according to the embodiment of the present invention. This plan view corresponds to a bottom view of the fur ornament 1. 2, the substrate 5 is a metal member having an overall U-shape. The rod-shaped members 6 are formed integrally with the substrate 5 and are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the substrate 5 like the teeth of a comb.

[0017] Two holes 5A are formed at each end of the substrate 5. These holes 5A are for attaching the substrate 5 to the flat-plate member 4. A hole (not shown) is also formed in the flat-plate member 4 in accordance with the position where the substrate 5 is to be attached. In this embodiment, a string 21 is passed through the holes 5A in the substrate 5 and the holes formed in the flat-plate member 4, and the string 21 is tied on the surface of the flat-plate member 4 opposite to the substrate 5, thereby attaching the substrate 5 to the flat-plate member 4.

[0018] The substrate 5 is U-shaped, with one end in the short direction being open. To this end, the plate-like member 22 is attached by two rivets 24, as shown in Fig. 2. For this purpose, each rivet 24 penetrates the substrate 5 and the plate-like member 22.

[0019] Most of the plate-like member 22 is covered by a flexible and elastic cylindrical member 23. The portion of each rod-like member 6 near its tip exerts an elastic force toward the plate-like member 22 (cylindrical member 23). The materials of the plate-like member 22 and cylindrical member 23 are not particularly limited. In the present invention, the plate-like member 22 is made of metal, and the cylindrical member 23 is made of silicone rubber. In the above-described configuration, the clip portion 20 includes the string 21, the plate-like member 22, the tubular member 23, and the rivet 24 in addition to the base plate 5 and all of the rod-like members 6.

[0020] The planar shape of the flat plate members 3 and 4 is elliptical as shown in Fig. 2. This is to avoid corners where force is likely to concentrate. For this reason, even if the planar shape is elliptical, it is preferable not to make the difference between the major axis and the minor axis too large. The planar shape may also be circular with no difference between the major axis and the minor axis.

[0021] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a cross section taken along line AA' in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a cross section taken along line BB' in Fig. 2. In both diagrams, only the flat plate member 4 and the clip portion 20 are shown. 3, each rod-shaped member 6 has an upwardly convex shape relative to the plate-shaped member 4. An upwardly convex shape refers to a shape in which there is a portion between both ends where the distance from the plate-shaped member 4 is greater.

[0022] The tip of each rod-shaped member 6 is bent in a direction away from the flat member 4. This is because it is assumed that the fur ornament 1 will be attached by inserting fur between the tip of each rod-shaped member 6 and the flat member 4. By making the tip of each rod-shaped member 6 bent, it becomes easier to insert fur.

[0023] By making each rod-shaped member 6 have an upward convex shape, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, a greater amount of fur can be placed in the space (closed space) formed by the tubular member 23, rod-shaped member 6, base plate 5, and flat member 4. A greater amount of fur corresponds to the fur ornament 1 being supported by a greater amount of fur. This also allows the fur ornament 1 to stably maintain its attached state.

[0024] The cylindrical member 23 is deformed by applying pressure. The portion near the tip of the rod-shaped member 6 exerts an elastic force toward the cylindrical member 23, applying pressure to the cylindrical member 23. As a result, the force required to thread the fur through the portion where the nearby portion and the cylindrical member 23 come into contact is greater than when the cylindrical member 23 is the plate-shaped member 22. For this reason, covering the plate-shaped member 22 with the cylindrical member 23 is useful for maintaining the fur ornament 1 attached more stably.

[0025] In the present invention, each rod-shaped member 6 is integrally formed with the substrate 5, but they may be produced separately. When each rod-shaped member 6 is produced separately from the substrate 5, the substrate 5 may include the plate-shaped member 22. The shape of the rod-shaped member 6 needs only to be elongated overall. For this reason, the shape of the rod-shaped member 6 can be modified in various ways. It is preferable to determine the number of rod-shaped members 6 according to their shape. [Explanation of symbols]
