[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-118019 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A hammer is usually used to drive the pegs in, as this makes it easier to drive the pegs in, even when the ground is hard.

[0005] However, the peg hammer used to drive the pegs is heavy. Moreover, a storage space is required for the peg hammer. When using a motorcycle or a backpack as a bag, there are restrictions on luggage capacity and luggage weight. Therefore, there is a demand to reduce luggage as much as possible.

[0006] In view of this background, the inventors of the present application are considering constructing a hammer by combining a number of pegs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] 1 is a diagram of a peg 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, in which Fig. 1(a) is a front view and Fig. 1(b) is a side view seen from a first direction X1.

[0021] Peg 1 is used when setting up tents or tarps during camping, barbecues, swimming in the sea, etc. Peg 1 is a stake that is driven into the ground E (see FIG. 3). Peg 1 is in the shape of a rectangular column with a narrow front-to-back width, in other words, a thick plate. Its thickness is, for example, about 4 mm. Peg 1 has a first main surface 1c (one of the one main surface and the other main surface) and a second main surface (the other of the one main surface and the other main surface) 1d.

[0022] Hereinafter, the direction in which the peg 1 extends is defined as the longitudinal direction D, and the directions perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction D and the main surfaces 1c and 1d of the peg 1 are defined as the first direction X1 and the second direction X2. The first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are opposite directions. The first direction X1 and the second direction X2 may be collectively referred to as the lateral direction X.

[0023] Peg 1 comprises a head 2, a tip 3, a rod portion (main body) 4, an extension portion (main body) 5, a fitting protrusion 6, and a hook portion 7. Head 2, tip 3, rod portion 4, extension portion 5, fitting protrusion 6, and hook portion 7 are integrally formed using steel such as SUS steel (e.g., SUS304). Peg 1 is formed by cutting a steel plate with a milling machine or the like.

[0024] The width (length in the lateral direction X) W1 of the head portion 2 is approximately the same as the width (length in the lateral direction X) W2 of a lower portion 42 of the rod portion 4, which will be described later.

[0025] The tip portion 3 is pointed. The tip portion 3 has one side end face (first end face) 31 and the other side end face 32. The one side end face 31 and the other side end face 32 are inclined so as to approach each other toward the tip 33.

[0026] The rod portion 4 extends along the longitudinal direction D. The rod portion 4 has an upper portion 41 connected to the head portion 2, and a lower portion 42 connected to the tip portion 3. The upper portion 41 constitutes approximately the upper half of the peg 1. The lower portion 42 constitutes approximately the lower half of the peg 1. The lower portion 42 has a constant width W2 (length in the lateral direction X) throughout its entire length in the longitudinal direction D. The width W2 is, for example, approximately 15 mm.

[0027] The extension portion 5 protrudes from the upper portion 41 in the first direction X1. The extension portion 5 is in the shape of a substantially rectangular plate. The extension portion 5 has an upper end surface 51, a first end surface (second end surface, third end surface) 52, and a lower end surface 53. The upper end surface 51 is formed with a recess 54 recessed toward the tip 33 in the longitudinal direction D. The first end surface 52 is located on an extension line L1 of the first end surface 31 (coincides with the extension line L1).

[0028] The extension portion 5 has a fitting recess 55 formed therein. The fitting recess 55 is a fitting hole penetrating the first main surface 1c and the second main surface 1d. The fitting recess 55 is a long and thin rectangular hole, and is disposed at a substantially central position between the one side end surface 52 of the extension portion 5 and the other side end surface 43 of the rod portion 4. The fitting recess 55 extends along a virtual line L2 connecting the fitting recess 55 and the tip 33 of the tip portion 3. The shape and size of the fitting recess 55 as viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first main surface 1c (direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 1) are consistent with the shape and size of the fitting protrusion 6 as viewed from the first direction X1. The fitting recess 55 has a length L3 and a width W3.

[0029] The fitting protrusion 6 is formed on one side end surface 52 on the first direction X1 side of the extension portion 5. The fitting protrusion 6 extends from the one side end surface 52 of the extension portion 5 in such a way that it protrudes in the first direction X1. The fitting protrusion 6 is formed in a partial area of ​​the one side end surface 52. The fitting protrusion 6 has a length L4 and a width W4. The length L4 and the width W4 are approximately the same as the length L3 and the width W3 of the fitting recess 55, respectively. However, in order to fit the fitting protrusion 6 into the fitting recess 55, the length L3 and the width W3 are slightly larger.

[0030] The fitting protrusion 6 is formed using the same plate material as the rod portion 4 and the extension portion 5, so the width W4 of the fitting protrusion 6 is the same as the thickness of the rod portion 4 and the extension portion 5. The protruding height H1 (the amount of protrusion) of the fitting protrusion 6 is the same as the thickness of the peg 1 (i.e., the thickness of the extension portion 5).

[0031] The hook portion 7 is connected to the upper portion 41 of the rod portion 4, protrudes in the second direction X2 beyond the other end face 43 of the rod portion 4, and then extends to one side in the longitudinal direction D (toward the tip 33) and has a hook shape. The hook portion 7 is a hook for engaging (locking) (tying or hanging) a guide rope (not shown). An engaging claw 71 is formed at the tip of the hook portion 7, protruding toward the other end face 43 of the rod portion 4. In addition, a fulcrum protrusion 8 is formed on the other end face 43 of the rod portion 4, which is spaced apart from the hook portion 7 on one side in the longitudinal direction D (toward the tip 33).

[0032] The peg 1 is a multifunctional peg that can be used in multiple (for example, four) usage modes. By assembling two pegs 1 together, it is possible to configure a hammer 100 (see FIG. 2). The usage modes of the peg 1 include a first usage mode (driving mode) in which the peg 1 is driven into the ground E, a second usage mode (hammer mode) in which the two pegs 1 are assembled together to configure the hammer 100, a third usage mode (bottle opener mode) in which the peg 1 is used as a bottle opener, and a fourth usage mode (mosquito coil holder mode) in which the peg 1 is used as a mosquito coil holder for holding mosquito coils.

[0033] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a second usage mode of the peg 1. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a state where the peg 1 in the first usage mode is driven in by a hammer 100 composed of two pegs 1A and 1B in the second usage mode. The pegs 1A and 1B have the same specifications as the peg 1.

[0034] When bringing pegs to camping, barbecuing, swimming in the sea, etc., in addition to the number of pegs necessary to set up a tent or tarp, a number of spare pegs are also brought in case of losing them, etc. Pegs 1A and 1B constituting hammer 100 may be pegs (pegs 1) used for setting up the tent or tarp, or may be spare pegs as described above.

[0035] The hammer 100 can be constructed by assembling the two pegs 1A and 1B together as shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, the fitting protrusion 6 of the first peg 1A is fitted into the fitting recess 55 of the second peg 1B, and the one-side end surface 31 of the first peg 1A is abutted against the first main surface 1c of the tip portion 3 of the second peg 1B. Since the one-side end surface 52 of the first peg 1A is located on the extension line L1 of the one-side end surface 31 (the one-side end surface 52 of the first peg 1A coincides with the extension line L1), both the one-side end surface 31 and the one-side end surface 52 of the first peg 1A abut against the first main surface 1c of the second peg 1B when the two pegs 1A and 1B are assembled together. In this way, the hammer 100 is assembled.

[0036] As described above, the fitting recess 55 is disposed at the center between the one side end surface 52 of the extension portion 5 and the other side end surface 43 of the rod portion 4. The fitting recess 55 extends along the imaginary line L2 connecting the fitting recess 55 and the tip 33 of the tip portion 3. Therefore, in the assembled state shown in FIG. 2, the load of the first peg 1A acts on the approximate center of the second peg 1B in the lateral direction X. This allows the hammer 100 to maintain a stable posture in the assembled state, and as a result, the assembled state can be easily maintained.

[0037] When driving the peg 1 into the ground E, the worker grips the lower parts 42 of the two pegs 1A and 1B included in the hammer 100 together. From this state, as shown in FIG. 3, the worker swings his / her arm down to strike the head 2 of the peg 1. The second main surface 1d of the second peg 1B (the area of ​​the second main surface 1d corresponding to the upper part 41 of the rod part 4 and the area of ​​the second main surface 1d corresponding to the extension part 5) becomes the striking surface 101 (see FIG. 3) of the hammer 100. Since the protruding height H1 of the fitting protrusion 6 is the same as the thickness of the peg 1, the fitting protrusion 6 does not protrude from the second main surface 1d. This makes it possible to make the entire striking surface 101 of the hammer 100 a flat surface.

[0038] The head 2 of the peg 1 is struck by the striking surface 101 of the hammer 100, thereby driving the peg 1 into the ground. At this time, the peg 1 penetrates into the ground while crushing stones and gravel contained in the soil. Since the tip 3 of the peg 1 is pointed, it is easy to insert into the ground E. Furthermore, since the peg 1 is sufficiently long (approximately 247 mm, for example), it has a high fixing force to the ground E. Therefore, even if a strong load (for example, a tensile load) is applied to the peg 1, the peg 1 is unlikely to come off the ground E.

[0039] Then, a guide rope extending from a tent or tarp is tied or hooked to the hook portion 7 of the peg 1 after it has been driven into the ground.

[0040] As described above, the fitting recess 55 is disposed in the center between the one side end surface 52 of the extension portion 5 and the other side end surface 43 of the rod portion 4, and extends along the imaginary line L2 connecting the fitting recess 55 and the tip 33 of the tip portion 3. Therefore, in the assembled state shown in Fig. 2, the load of the first peg 1A acts on approximately the center of the second peg 1B in the lateral direction X. As a result, there is almost no eccentricity in the assembled state of the hammer 100, and the assembled state can be easily maintained.

[0041] In the examples of Figs. 2 and 3, the second peg 1B may be turned upside down. That is, the fitting protrusion 6 may be fitted into the fitting recess 55 from the second main surface 1d side of the second peg 1B, not from the first main surface 1c side of the second peg 1B. In this case, one side end surface 31 of the tip portion 3 of the first peg 1A abuts against the second main surface 1d of the tip portion 3 of the second peg 1B. Then, the first main surface 1c of the second peg 1B (the area of ​​the first main surface 1c corresponding to the upper portion 41 of the rod portion 4 and the area of ​​the first main surface 1c corresponding to the extension portion 5) becomes the striking surface 101 of the hammer 100 (see Fig. 3).

[0042] FIG. 4 shows a third mode of use of the peg 1. In FIG.

[0043] In a third mode of use of the peg 1, the peg 1 is used as a bottle opener to open the crown cap 302 sealing the bottle 301.

[0044] When used in the third usage mode, the engaging claw 71 of the hook portion 7 of the peg 1 is inserted into the lower end of the peripheral wall 302a of the crown 302 to serve as a point of action, and the fulcrum 81 of the fulcrum projection 8 arranged on the tip 33 side of the peg 1 is brought into contact with the top surface 302b of the crown 302 to serve as a fulcrum. After the fulcrum 81 of the fulcrum projection 8 is brought into contact with the top surface 302b of the crown 302, the lower portion 42 of the rod portion 4 of the peg 1 is pushed down to open the crown 302. This allows the peg 1 to be used as a bottle opener for the crown 302.

[0045] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a fourth mode of use of the peg 1. In FIG.

[0046] In a fourth mode of use of the peg 1, the peg 1 is used as a mosquito coil holder for holding a mosquito coil 401.

[0047] In this case, the tip 3 of the peg 1 is inserted into the ground E, and the center portion of the mosquito coil 401 is hooked into the recess 54 formed in the upper end surface 51 of the extension part 5. This allows the peg 1 to be used as a mosquito coil holder.

[0048] As described above, according to this embodiment, the one-side end surface 52 is located on the extension line L1 of the one-side end surface 31 (coincides with the extension line L1). Also, the shape and size of the fitting recess 55 as viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first main surface 1c are matched with the shape and size of the fitting protrusion 6 as viewed from the first direction X1. The hammer 100 is obtained by fitting the fitting protrusion 6 of the first peg 1A (peg 1) into the fitting recess 55 of the second peg 1B (peg 1) and abutting the one-side end surface 31 of the first peg 1A against the flat first main surface 1c of the tip portion 3 of the second peg 1B. In other words, the peg 1 can be used as a part of the hammer 100. This makes it unnecessary to prepare a peg hammer for driving the peg 1 separately from the peg 1. This allows the amount of luggage to be brought to camping, barbecues, swimming in the sea, etc. to be reduced.

[0049] Furthermore, since the length L4 and width W4 of the fitting protrusion 6 are approximately the same as the length L3 and width W3 of the fitting recess 55, respectively, it is possible to prevent the fitting protrusion 6 from coming off when fitted into the fitting recess 55. In addition, since the fitting recess 55 is a fitting hole, it is possible to maintain a large fitting depth between the fitting protrusion 6 and the fitting recess 55. Furthermore, since the fitting recess 55 and the fitting protrusion 6 have a constant length, it is possible to ensure a large contact area between the fitting recess 55 and the fitting protrusion 6 when they are fitted into each other. As a result, it is possible to prevent the first peg 1A and the second peg 1B from being separated from each other when they are assembled together.

[0050] Furthermore, the protruding height H1 of the fitting protrusion 6 is the same as the thickness of the peg 1. Therefore, when the first peg 1A and the second peg 1B are assembled to each other, the fitting protrusion 6 can be prevented from protruding from the second main surface 1d.

[0051] Moreover, the linear fitting recess 55 extends along an imaginary line L2 connecting the fitting recess 55 and the tip 33 of the tip portion 3. Therefore, when the two pegs 1A, 1B are assembled to each other, the tip portions 3 of the pegs 1A, 1B approach each other. This makes it easy to realize a configuration in which one side end surface 31 of the tip portion 3 of the first peg 1A abuts against the first main surface 1c (or the second main surface 1d) of the tip portion 3 of the second peg 1B.

[0052] The head of the hammer 100 is formed by combining the upper halves of the two pegs 1A, 1B. In order to drive the peg 1 well, the head of the hammer that drives the peg 1 needs to have a certain weight. The sum of the weights of the upper halves of the two pegs 1A, 1B is the weight of the head of the hammer 100. Since the upper half of the peg 1 is provided with an extension portion 5, the weight of the upper half of the peg 1 can be made heavier. Therefore, the combination of the two pegs 1A, 1B ensures the necessary weight for the head of the hammer 100.

[0053] Fig. 6 is a diagram of a peg 201 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6(a) is a front view, and Fig. 6(b) is a side view seen from a first direction X1. In this embodiment, the same components as those in Figs. 1 to 5 are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0054] 1 to 5 in that the peg 201 includes a protrusion 202 that protrudes from the extension portion 5 toward the tip portion 3. Specifically, the protrusion 202 is a linear protrusion that protrudes from the end portion on the first direction X1 side of the lower end portion of the extension portion 5 toward the tip portion 3. The protrusion 202 faces one side end surface 41a of the upper portion 41 of the rod portion 4 at a predetermined distance.

[0055] The peg 201 has an engagement recess 203 formed in the middle of the longitudinal direction D, which is recessed upward in FIG. 6. The engagement recess 203 is linear and extends along the longitudinal direction D. The engagement recess 203 is formed between the upper part 41 of the rod part 4 and the protruding part 202. The engagement recess 203 is defined by the one-side end face 41a of the upper part 41, the other-side end face 202b of the protruding part 202, and the connecting part 204. The connecting part 204 is arc-shaped. The connecting part 204 connects the one-side end face 41a and the other-side end face 202b. The one-side end face 41a and the other-side end face 202b are parallel to each other, so that the width (length in the horizontal direction X) of the engagement recess 203 is constant. This width is smaller than the width W2 of the lower part 42, and is, for example, about 10 mm. In the peg 201, the guide rope 210 can be engaged (locked) not only by the hook portion 7 but also by the engaging recess 203.

[0056] The protrusion 202 extends along an extension line L1 of the one-side end face 31. The one-side end face (fourth end face) 202a of the protrusion 202 is located on the extension line L1 of the one-side end face 31 (coincides with the extension line L1). In other words, both the one-side end face 31 and the one-side end face 252 are located on the extension line L1 of the one-side end face 31 (coincides with the extension line L1). The thickness of the protrusion 202 is the same as that of the extension portion 5.

[0057] 7 is a diagram showing a state where a peg 201 in a first usage mode (driving mode) is driven in by a hammer 100A configured with a peg 201 in a second usage mode. The hammer 100A (see FIG. 7) can be configured by adopting the second usage mode (hammer mode) in which two pegs 201 (pegs 201A, 201B) are assembled together. The pegs 201A and 201B have the same specifications as the peg 201. The pegs 201A and 201B configuring the hammer 100A may be pegs (pegs 201) used for pitching, or may be spare pegs as described above.

[0058] When the two pegs 201A, 201B are assembled to each other in the same manner as in the case of 1A, 1B described above, one side end face 52 of the first peg 201A is located on the extension line L1 of the one side end face 31 (the one side end face 52 of the first peg 201A coincides with the extension line L1), so that when the two pegs 201A, 201B are assembled to each other, both the one side end face 31 and the one side end face 52 of the first peg 201A abut against the first main surface 1c of the extension portion 5 of the second peg 201B. Also, a portion of the one side end face 202a near the tip portion 202c abuts against the first main surface 1c of the rod portion 4.

[0059] The head 2 of the peg 201 is struck by the striking surface 101 of the hammer 100A, whereby the peg 201 is driven into the ground. At this time, the peg 201 advances into the ground while crushing stones and gravel contained in the soil. Then, as shown in Fig. 7, the driving of the peg 201 continues until the tip 202c of the protruding part 202 reaches the ground. Then, a guide rope 210 extending from a tent or tarp is tied to or hooked onto the engagement recess 203 of the peg 201 after it has been driven into the ground.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the two pegs 201 (pegs 201A, 201B) are assembled together, not only do the one side end faces 31, 52 abut against the first main surface 1c, but the one side end face 202a can abut against the first main surface 1c. Therefore, when the two pegs 201 are assembled together, a more stable posture can be maintained.

[0061] In addition, when the two pegs 201 are assembled together, one side end face 202a of one peg 201 faces the engagement recess 203 of the other peg 201, but the entire area of ​​one side end face 202a may face the engagement recess 203. In this case, the entire area of ​​one side end face 202a of one peg 201 does not abut against the first main surface 1c of the other peg 201.

[0062] In the embodiment of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, if the peg 201 is not used in the third usage mode (bottle opener mode), the hook portion 7 may be omitted from the configuration of the peg 201.

[0063] Although two embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be embodied in other forms.

[0064] For example, a hammer may be constructed by assembling the peg 1 of the first embodiment and the peg 201 of the second embodiment together.

[0065] Furthermore, the protruding height H1 of the fitting protrusion 6 does not have to be the same as the thickness of the peg 1,201, and may be smaller than the thickness of the peg 1,201.

[0066] Furthermore, the fitting recess 55 formed in the first main surface 1c has been described as a fitting hole, but the fitting recess 55 may be a fitting groove.

[0067] The pegs 1, 201 may be made of other iron materials instead of steel. The pegs 1, 201 may be made of other metal materials instead of iron. Examples of such other metal materials include duralumin, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys.

[0068] Also, the peg 1, 201 may be formed by forging or casting instead of cutting. The head 2 of the peg 1, 201 may not be exposed and may be covered with a peg cap or the like. An opening may be formed in the main body (rod 4, extension 5) of the peg 1, 201 to reduce weight.

[0069] Also, the extension portion 5 may be omitted from the peg 1. In this case, the fitting recess 55 is formed in the upper portion 41 of the rod portion 4, and the fitting recess 55 is formed in the end face of the upper portion 41 on the first direction X1 side.
