DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] [1. First embodiment] [1-1.Configuration] The sliding small item 1A shown in Figures 1A to 2B includes two plate-shaped portions 2A and 2B, an extension portion 3, a locking portion 4A, a locked portion 4B, and a fastener 5. To distinguish between the two plate-shaped portions 2A and 2B, in this embodiment, they are also referred to as a first plate-shaped portion 2A and a second plate-shaped portion 2B. This also applies to a fourth embodiment described later. The fastener 5 is not shown in Figures 2A and 2B.

[0011] 1A and 1B, the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are portions that form the outer surface of the sliding small item 1A. The first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are plate-shaped. In this embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are flat.

[0012] Each of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B has a front surface 21, a rear surface 22, and an end surface 23. The front surface 21 and the rear surface 22 constitute both surfaces in the thickness direction of the corresponding plate-shaped portion 2A, 2B. In this embodiment, since the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are flat, both the front surface 21 and the rear surface 22 are planar. The end surface 23 is a surface that connects the front surface 21 and the rear surface 22. The end surface 23 is continuous along the entire outer periphery of the corresponding plate-shaped portion 2A, 2B.

[0013] 2A and 2B, an accommodation space S1 is formed inside the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The accommodation space S1 is a space capable of accommodating at least a portion of the extension portion 3. A communication opening E1 is formed in the end surface 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The communication opening E1 is an opening that connects the accommodation space S1 with the outside of the first plate-shaped portion 2A.

[0014] The first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are arranged so that their end faces 23 face each other. Specifically, the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are arranged so that the area of the end face 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A where the communication opening E1 is formed faces the end face 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B. In other words, the communication opening E1 is formed in the area of the end face 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A that faces the end face 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B. The opposing areas of the end faces 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are shaped so that they can come into surface contact with each other. In this embodiment, this area is flat. The thickness direction of the first plate-shaped portion 2A is parallel to the thickness direction of the second plate-shaped portion 2B.

[0015] The extension portion 3 is a plate-shaped portion. The extension portion 3 in this embodiment is flat. The extension portion 3 is arranged to extend from the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B toward the first plate-shaped portion 2A. Specifically, the extension portion 3 is arranged to extend from a range facing the communication port E1 on the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B toward the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The central axis X1 of the extension portion 3 in the direction from the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B toward the first plate-shaped portion 2A is linear. In other words, the extension portion 3 extends along a straight line from the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B.

[0016] In this embodiment, the extension portion 3 is formed integrally with the second plate-shaped portion 2B. The extension portion 3 and the second plate-shaped portion 2B being formed integrally includes the case where the extension portion 3 and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are formed as a single member, as in this embodiment, and the case where the extension portion 3 formed as a separate member from the second plate-shaped portion 2B is assembled to the second plate-shaped portion 2B and integrated with it. When the extension portion 3 and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are formed integrally, the extension portion 3 is immobile with respect to the second plate-shaped portion 2B.

[0017] The extending portion 3 has an insertion portion 31 and a storage portion 32. The insertion portion 31 and the storage portion 32 are both plate-shaped.

[0018] The insertion portion 31 is a portion that continues to the end face 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2B. The insertion portion 31 is inserted into the communication opening E1. The insertion portion 31 is sized to pass through the communication opening E1. The width H1 of the insertion portion 31 is smaller than the first opening dimension H2 of the communication opening E1. The width H1 of the insertion portion 31 is the dimension of the insertion portion 31 in the width direction of the extension portion 3. The first opening dimension H2 of the communication opening E1 is the dimension of the opening surface of the communication opening E1 in the width direction of the extension portion 3. The width direction of the extension portion 3 is the direction along the plate surface of the extension portion 3 and perpendicular to the central axis X1 of the extension portion 3.

[0019] 1B, the thickness T1 of the insertion portion 31 is smaller than the second opening dimension T2 of the communication port E1. The thickness T1 of the insertion portion 31 is the dimension of the insertion portion 31 in the thickness direction of the extension portion 3. The second opening dimension T2 of the communication port E1 is the dimension of the opening surface of the communication port E1 in the thickness direction of the extension portion 3.

[0020] 2A and 2B, the accommodation portion 32 is a portion adjacent to the insertion portion 31 on the side opposite to the second plate-shaped portion 2B. The accommodation portion 32 has a wide portion 321 and a protruding portion 322. The wide portion 321 and the protruding portion 322 are arranged in this order from the insertion portion 31 side.

[0021] The storage section 32 is accommodated in the storage space S1. The storage section 32 is sized so that it cannot pass through the communication opening E1. Specifically, the wide portion 321 is sized so that it cannot pass through the communication opening E1. The width H3 of the storage section 32 is smaller than the first internal dimension H4 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and larger than the first opening dimension H2 of the communication opening E1. The width H3 of the storage section 32 is the dimension of the storage section 32 in the width direction of the extension portion 3. The width H3 of the storage section 32 can also be referred to as the width H3 of the wide portion 321. The first internal dimension H4 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A is the distance between opposing internal surfaces of the first plate-shaped portion 2A in the width direction of the extension portion 3. The internal surfaces of the first plate-shaped portion 2A are surfaces that form the storage space S1. The first internal dimension H4 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A is determined within the range of the first plate-shaped portion 2A within which the storage section 32 is disposed.

[0022] Although not shown in the figures, the thickness of the storage section 32 is smaller than the second inner dimension of the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The thickness of the storage section 32 is the dimension of the storage section 32 in the thickness direction of the extension section 3. The second inner dimension of the first plate-shaped portion 2A is the distance between opposing inner surfaces of the first plate-shaped portion 2A in the thickness direction of the extension section 3. The second inner dimension of the first plate-shaped portion 2A is specified within the range of the first plate-shaped portion 2A within which the storage section 32 is arranged.

[0023] The protruding portion 322 is a portion that protrudes from the wide portion 321 toward the opposite side to the insertion portion 31. The protruding portion 322 overlaps, for example, with the central axis X1 of the accommodating portion 32. For example, the width H5 of the protruding portion 322 is narrower than the width H3 of the wide portion 321. Furthermore, for example, the width H5 of the protruding portion 322 is narrower than the width H1 of the insertion portion 31. The width H5 of the protruding portion 322 is the dimension of the protruding portion 322 in the width direction of the extending portion 3.

[0024] The first plate-shaped portion 2A, the second plate-shaped portion 2B, and the extending portion 3 are made of materials such as plastics such as acrylic, polyethylene, and polycarbonate, wood, glass, etc. The first plate-shaped portion 2A, the second plate-shaped portion 2B, and the extending portion 3 may be provided with designs such as letters, symbols, figures, illustrations, etc.

[0025] The second plate-shaped portion 2B is configured to be slidable relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A together with the extending portion 3. The second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are configured to be slidable along the central axis X1 of the extending portion 3. In this embodiment, since the central axis X1 of the extending portion 3 is linear, the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are configured to be slidable along the straight line.

[0026] The second plate-shaped portion 2B is configured to be slidable together with the extension portion 3 between a stored position and a deployed position. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A, the stored position is a position where the end surfaces 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B are in surface contact with each other. In other words, the stored position is a position where the extension portion 3 is completely stored in the range from the communication opening E1 to the storage space S1. The length L1 of the extension portion 3 is smaller than the third inner dimension L2 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The length L1 of the extension portion 3 is the dimension of the extension portion 3 along the central axis X1 of the extension portion 3. The third inner dimension L2 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A is the dimension along the central axis X1 of the extension portion 3 from the opening surface of the communication opening E1 to the inner surface of the first plate-shaped portion 2A facing the communication opening E1.

[0027] 1B and 2B, the deployed position is a position where the distance between the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B is wider than that in the stored position. In this embodiment, the deployed position is a position where the storage portion 32 (specifically, the wide portion 321) contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E1 on the inner surface of the first plate-shaped portion 2A. Regardless of the state in which the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in any position from the stored position to the deployed position, the storage portion 32 is stored in the storage space S1.

[0028] 2A and 2B are configured to be able to lock with each other. In this embodiment, the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B are a combination of the north and south poles of a magnet.

[0029] The locked portion 4B is provided in the storage portion 32. In this embodiment, the locked portion 4B is provided on the protruding portion 322. When the locked portion 4B is a magnet, the locked portion 4B is disposed in a recess formed in the surface of the storage portion 32 so as not to protrude from the surface of the storage portion 32, for example.

[0030] The locking portion 4A is provided at a position on the first plate-shaped portion 2A where it can face the locked portion 4B. The positions where it can face the locked portion 4B include a position where it faces the locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the stored position, a position where it faces the locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the deployed position, and a position where it faces the locked portion 4B while the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are sliding between the stored position and the deployed position. In this embodiment, the locking portion 4A is provided at a position where it faces the locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the stored position. When the locking portion 4A is a magnet, the locking portion 4A is disposed in a recess formed on the inner surface of the first plate-shaped portion 2A so as not to protrude from the inner surface of the first plate-shaped portion 2A, for example.

[0031] The fastener 5 shown in Figures 1A and 1B is a part for fastening the sliding small item 1A to another item. Specific examples of the fastener 5 include a snap hook, a ball chain, a strap, and a double ring. The fastener 5 is attached to at least one of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B. In this embodiment, the fastener 5 is attached to the second plate-shaped portion 2B.

[0032] [1-2.Effects] According to the first embodiment described above in detail, the following effects can be obtained.

[0033] (1a) The second plate-shaped portion 2B, together with the extending portion 3, is configured to be slidable relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A between a stored position and an expanded position. The storing portion 32 is provided with a latched portion 4B. The first plate-shaped portion 2A is provided with a latching portion 4A at a position that can face the latched portion 4B.

[0034] With this configuration, the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 can be slid relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A. By sliding the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3, the extent to which the extending portion 3 is exposed from the first plate-shaped portion 2A can be changed. Specifically, the extent to which the insertion portion 31 is exposed from the first plate-shaped portion 2A can be changed. Furthermore, by locking the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B to each other, the position of the extending portion 3 relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A can be easily fixed.

[0035] (1b) The locking portion 4A is provided in a position facing the locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the stored position. This configuration makes it easier to fix the position of the extending portion 3 relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the stored position. Therefore, compared to when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the deployed position, it is easier to maintain a state in which the extending portion 3 is not exposed from the first plate-shaped portion 2A.

[0036] (1c) In particular, in this embodiment, when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the housed position, the end faces 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B come into contact with each other. This configuration makes it easier to fix the position of the extending portion 3 relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A when the extending portion 3 is completely housed in the first plate-shaped portion 2A. In other words, it is easier to maintain a state in which the extending portion 3 is not exposed from the first plate-shaped portion 2A.

[0037] (1d) The extension portion 3 is formed integrally with the second plate-shaped portion 2B. With this configuration, the extension portion 3 is immovable relative to the second plate-shaped portion 2B, so the second plate-shaped portion 2B can slide together with the extension portion 3 without causing rattling of the extension portion 3 relative to the second plate-shaped portion 2B. This improves the operability of the sliding small item 1A.

[0038] (1e) The locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B are magnets. With this configuration, the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B can be locked to each other with less force. In other words, the position of the extending portion 3 relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A can be more easily fixed with less force.

[0039] (1f) The sliding type small item 1A includes a fastener 5. With this configuration, the sliding type small item 1A that can be fastened to another item can achieve the effects (1a) to (1e) described above.

[0040] [1-3. Correspondence] In the first embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2A corresponds to an example of a first outer shell portion. The second plate-shaped portion 2B corresponds to an example of a second outer shell portion. The accommodating portion 32 corresponds to an example of a tip-side accommodating portion. The locking portion 4A corresponds to an example of a tip-side locking portion. The locked portion 4B corresponds to an example of a tip-side locked portion.

[0041] The terms "distal end" and "proximal end" do not limit the manner of use of the first embodiment. The same applies to the following embodiments.

[0042] [2. Second Embodiment] [2-1.Configuration] The second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, so differences will be described below. Note that the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment indicate the same configuration, and reference is made to the preceding description.

[0043] The sliding-type small item 1B of the second embodiment shown in Figures 3A and 3B comprises three plate-shaped portions 2A, 2B, and 2C, two extension portions 3, two locking portions 4A, two locked portions 4B, and a fastener 5 not shown.

[0044] Of the three plate-shaped portions 2A, 2B, and 2C, the configuration of the first two plate-shaped portions 2A and 2B is as described in detail in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, another plate-shaped portion 2C is disposed between the two plate-shaped portions 2A and 2B. To distinguish between the three plate-shaped portions 2A, 2B, and 2C, in this embodiment, they are also referred to as the first plate-shaped portion 2A, the third plate-shaped portion 2B, and the second plate-shaped portion 2C.

[0045] The second plate-shaped portion 2C is configured as a combination of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the third plate-shaped portion 2B. Like the first plate-shaped portion 2A, the second plate-shaped portion 2C is formed with an accommodation space S1 and a communication opening E1. Like the first plate-shaped portion 2A, the second plate-shaped portion 2C is provided with a locking portion 4A.

[0046] The configuration of the extension portion 3 is as described in detail in the first embodiment. The sliding-type small item 1B of this embodiment has two extension portions 3, one of which is arranged to extend from the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2C toward the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The other extension portion 3 is arranged to extend from the end surface 23 of the third plate-shaped portion 2B toward the second plate-shaped portion 2C. Two locked portions 4B are provided on each of the two extension portions 3.

[0047] The second plate-shaped portion 2C, together with the extending portion 3 arranged to extend from its end surface 23, is configured to be slidable relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A between the stored position and the deployed position. The third plate-shaped portion 2B, together with the extending portion 3 arranged to extend from its end surface 23, is configured to be slidable relative to the second plate-shaped portion 2C between the stored position and the deployed position. Both the second plate-shaped portion 2C and the third plate-shaped portion 2B are configured to be slidable along the central axis X1 of the extending portion 3. When the second plate-shaped portion 2C and the third plate-shaped portion 2B are in the stored position, when they are in the deployed position, or while sliding between the stored position and the deployed position, the corresponding locking portion 4A and locked portion 4B lock with each other. In this embodiment, when the second plate-shaped portion 2C and the third plate-shaped portion 2B are in the stored position, the corresponding locking portion 4A and locked portion 4B lock with each other.

[0048] [2-2. Effects] According to the second embodiment described above in detail, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained, and the following additional effects can also be obtained.

[0049] (2a) In the sliding type accessory 1B, both the second plate-shaped portion 2C and the corresponding extension portion 3, and the third plate-shaped portion 2B and the corresponding extension portion 3 are configured to be slidable. Therefore, for each of the two extension portions 3, the extent to which it is exposed from the corresponding plate-shaped portions 2A, 2C can be adjusted.

[0050] (2b) A locked portion 4B is provided on each of the two extending portions 3. A locking portion 4A is provided on each of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2C at a position that can face the corresponding locked portion 4B. With this configuration, the locking portions 4A and the locked portions 4B lock together, making it easier to fix the position of each of the two extending portions 3 relative to the corresponding plate-shaped portions 2A, 2C.

[0051] [2-3. Correspondence] In the second embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2C each correspond to an example of a first outer shell portion. The second plate-shaped portion 2C also corresponds to an example of a second outer shell portion when the first plate-shaped portion 2A is the first outer shell portion. The third plate-shaped portion 2B corresponds to an example of a second outer shell portion when the second plate-shaped portion 2C is the first outer shell portion. The accommodating portion 32 corresponds to an example of a tip-side accommodating portion. The locking portion 4A corresponds to an example of a tip-side locking portion. The locked portion 4B corresponds to an example of a tip-side locked portion.

[0052] 3. Second Embodiment [3-1.Configuration] The third embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, so differences will be described below. Note that the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment indicate the same configuration, and reference is made to the preceding description.

[0053] 4A to 4C, a sliding-type small item 1C of the third embodiment includes two plate-shaped portions 2D and 2E instead of the two plate-shaped portions 2A and 2B described above. In order to distinguish between the two plate-shaped portions 2D and 2E, in this embodiment, they are also referred to as a first plate-shaped portion 2D and a second plate-shaped portion 2E.

[0054] The first plate-shaped portion 2D has a configuration generally similar to the plate-shaped portion 2A described above. The second plate-shaped portion 2E has a configuration generally similar to the plate-shaped portion 2B described above. However, the first plate-shaped portion 2D is provided with a connecting portion 24. The second plate-shaped portion 2E is provided with a connected portion 25. The connecting portion 24 and the connected portion 25 are provided at corners of the first plate-shaped portion 2D and the second plate-shaped portion 2E that face each other. The connecting portion 24 and the connected portion 25 are configured to be connectable to each other. For example, the connecting portion 24 and the connected portion 25 may be a combination of a recess and a protrusion that can fit together. Alternatively, for example, the connecting portion 24 and the connected portion 25 may be holes through which a single connecting member can be inserted together. In this case, for example, a fastener 5 may be used as the connecting member.

[0055] Furthermore, the sliding-type small item 1C of the third embodiment includes an extension portion 3A instead of the extension portion 3 described above. Like the extension portion 3 described above, the extension portion 3A has an insertion portion 31A and a storage portion 32. However, the central axis X2 of the extension portion 3A is not linear but extends along an arc. Specifically, the central axis X2 of the extension portion 3A extends along the arc of a circle centered on the connected portion 25.

[0056] In the third embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, when the second plate-shaped portion 2E and the extending portion 3A are in the housed position, the locking portion 4A is locked with the locked portion 4B.

[0057] [3-2. Effects] According to the third embodiment described above in detail, the same effects as those in (1a) to (1e) above can be obtained. When the sliding small item 1C includes the fastener 5, the same effect as that in (1f) above can also be obtained.

[0058] [3-3. Correspondence] In the third embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2D corresponds to an example of a first outer shell portion. The second plate-shaped portion 2E corresponds to an example of a second outer shell portion. The accommodating portion 32 corresponds to an example of a tip-side accommodating portion. The locking portion 4A corresponds to an example of a tip-side locking portion. The locked portion 4B corresponds to an example of a tip-side locked portion.

[0059] [4. Fourth Embodiment] [4-1.Configuration] The fourth embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, so differences will be described below. Note that the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment indicate the same configuration, and reference is made to the preceding description.

[0060] In the sliding-type small item 1D of the fourth embodiment shown in Figures 5A to 5C, the locking portion 4A is located in a position opposite the locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extension portion 3 are in the deployed position rather than the stored position.

[0061] Furthermore, the sliding-type small item 1D of the fourth embodiment includes a base 6 instead of the fastener 5. The base 6 is a plate-shaped portion. The base 6 is disposed on the side of the first plate-shaped portion 2A opposite the second plate-shaped portion 2B. The base 6 extends in a direction intersecting (e.g., perpendicular to) the front surface 21 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A. The base 6 may be formed, for example, integrally with the first plate-shaped portion 2A, or may be formed separately from the first plate-shaped portion 2A. In the latter case, the first plate-shaped portion 2A may be configured to be detachably attached to the base 6 by, for example, an insertion portion such as a slit formed in the base 6. In this case, the first plate-shaped portion 2A is attached to the base 6 by inserting the first plate-shaped portion 2A into the insertion portion. The first plate-shaped portion 2A is removed from the base 6 by pulling the first plate-shaped portion 2A out of the insertion portion.

[0062] The sliding type small item 1D is placed on the placement surface, for example, so that the surface of the base 6 opposite to the first plate-shaped portion 2A contacts the placement surface. This allows the sliding type small item 1D to stand on its own on the placement surface with the front surface 21 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A intersecting (for example, perpendicular to) the placement surface.

[0063] [4-2. Effects] According to the fourth embodiment described above in detail, the same effects as those (1a), (1d) and (1e) above can be obtained, and further, the following effects can be obtained.

[0064] (4a) In the sliding accessory 1D, the locking portion 4A is provided in a position facing the locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the deployed position. This configuration makes it easier to fix the position of the extending portion 3 relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2A when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the deployed position. Therefore, compared to when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the stored position, it is easier to maintain the state in which the extending portion 3 is exposed from the first plate-shaped portion 2A.

[0065] (4b) Additionally, the sliding accessory 1D includes a base 6. With this configuration, for example, while the sliding accessory 1D is freestanding on a placement surface, the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 can be slid from the stored position to the deployed position by pulling the second plate-shaped portion 2B upward. When the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 reach the deployed position, the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B lock with each other. Therefore, even if the user releases the second plate-shaped portion 2B, the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 can remain in the deployed position. Furthermore, when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the deployed position, the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B can be released by, for example, pushing the second plate-shaped portion 2B from above. In this case, the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 can also slide from the deployed position to the stored position due to gravity.

[0066] (4c) In particular, in this embodiment, when the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 are in the accommodated position, the end faces 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2A and the second plate-shaped portion 2B come into contact with each other. With this configuration, the second plate-shaped portion 2B and the extending portion 3 slide to the accommodated position due to gravity, and the extending portion 3 can be completely accommodated in the first plate-shaped portion 2A.

[0067] [4-3. Correspondence] In the fourth embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2A corresponds to an example of a first outer shell portion. The second plate-shaped portion 2B corresponds to an example of a second outer shell portion. The accommodating portion 32 corresponds to an example of a tip-side accommodating portion. The locking portion 4A corresponds to an example of a tip-side locking portion. The locked portion 4B corresponds to an example of a tip-side locked portion.

[0068] [5. Fifth Embodiment] [5-1.Configuration] The fifth embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, so differences will be described below. Note that the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment indicate the same configuration, and reference is made to the preceding description.

[0069] 6A to 6C includes two plate-shaped portions 2F, 2G, an extending portion 3B, four locking portions 4A, four locked portions 4B, and a not-shown fastener 5. In order to distinguish between the two plate-shaped portions 2F, 2G, in this embodiment, they are also referred to as a first plate-shaped portion 2F and a second plate-shaped portion 2G.

[0070] The first plate-shaped portion 2F has a configuration generally similar to that of the above-described plate-shaped portion 2A, except that the first plate-shaped portion 2F is provided with two locking portions 4A instead of one.

[0071] The second plate-shaped portion 2G has a configuration generally similar to that of the plate-shaped portion 2B described above. However, an accommodation space S2 is formed inside the second plate-shaped portion 2G. A communication opening E2 that connects the accommodation space S2 to the outside of the second plate-shaped portion 2G is formed on the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. That is, in this embodiment, the accommodation spaces S1, S2 and communication openings E1, E2 are formed in both the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The communication openings E1, E2 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G face each other. In addition, the second plate-shaped portion 2G is provided with two locking portions 4A instead of one.

[0072] The extending portion 3B has a configuration generally similar to the extending portion 3 described above. However, the extending portion 3B is not formed integrally with the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The extending portion 3B is arranged so as to not only extend from the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G toward the first plate-shaped portion 2F, but also extend from the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G into the second plate-shaped portion 2G. In other words, the extending portion 3B is arranged to straddle the accommodation space S1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the accommodation space S2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G via the communication openings E1, E2 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The extending portion 3B has an insertion portion 31 and two accommodation portions 32A, 32B. To distinguish between the two accommodation portions 32A, 32B, they are also referred to as the first accommodation portion 32A and the second accommodation portion 32B in this embodiment.

[0073] The first accommodating portion 32A has a configuration generally similar to that of the accommodating portion 32 described above. The first accommodating portion 32A is accommodated in the accommodating space S1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F. However, the first accommodating portion 32A does not have a protruding portion 322. The first accommodating portion 32A is also provided with two locked portions 4B. The two locked portions 4B are provided symmetrically, for example, with respect to the central axis X1 of the extending portion 3B.

[0074] The second accommodating portion 32B is adjacent to the insertion portion 31 on the opposite side from the first accommodating portion 32A. In other words, the second accommodating portion 32B and the first accommodating portion 32A sandwich the insertion portion 31. The second accommodating portion 32B is accommodated in the accommodation space S2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The second accommodating portion 32B is sized so that it does not pass through the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The width H6 of the second accommodating portion 32B is smaller than the first internal dimension H7 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G and larger than the first opening dimension H8 of the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. Although not shown in the drawings, the thickness of the second accommodating portion 32B is smaller than the second internal dimension of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The width H6 and thickness of the second accommodating portion 32B are defined in the same way as the width H1 and thickness of the first accommodating portion 32A, respectively. The first opening dimension H8 of the communication port E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G is defined similarly to the first opening dimension H2 of the communication port E1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F. The second inner dimension of the second plate-shaped portion 2G is defined similarly to the second inner dimension of the first plate-shaped portion 2F. Two locked portions 4B are provided in the second accommodating portion 32B. The two locked portions 4B are, for example, provided symmetrically with respect to the central axis X1 of the extending portion 3B.

[0075] In this embodiment, the insertion portion 31 is not continuous with the end surface 23 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The insertion portion 31 connects the first accommodating portion 32A and the second accommodating portion 32B. Because the first accommodating portion 32A is accommodated in the accommodation space S1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second accommodating portion 32B is accommodated in the accommodation space S2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G, the insertion portion 31 is inserted through both the communication opening E1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G.

[0076] In this case, the insertion portion 31 is sized so that at least the portion on the first plate-shaped portion 2F side passes through the communication opening E1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F, and at least the portion on the second plate-shaped portion 2G side passes through the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The width H1 and thickness of the portion on the first plate-shaped portion 2F side of the insertion portion 31 are smaller than the first opening dimension H2 and second opening dimension of the communication opening E1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F, respectively. The width H9 and thickness of the portion on the second plate-shaped portion 2G side of the insertion portion 31 are smaller than the first opening dimension H8 and second opening dimension of the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G, respectively. The second opening dimension of the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G is defined in the same way as the second opening dimension of the communication opening E1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F.

[0077] Furthermore, for example, the insertion portion 31 may be sized so that the entire insertion portion 31 passes through both the communication opening E1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the communication opening E2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G.

[0078] As in the first embodiment, the second plate-shaped portion 2G, together with the extending portion 3B, is configured to be slidable between the stored position shown in FIG. 6A and the deployed position shown in FIG. 6C. In this embodiment, the stored position is also a position where the end surfaces 23 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G are in surface contact with each other. That is, the stored position is a position where the extending portion 3B is completely stored within the range from the storage space S1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F through the communication openings E1 and E2 to the storage space S2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The length L1 of the extending portion 3 is smaller than the sum of the third internal dimension L2 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the third internal dimension L3 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G. The third internal dimension L3 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G is defined in the same way as the third internal dimension L2 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F.

[0079] In the first plate-shaped portion 2F, the two locking portions 4A are positioned so as to face the two locked portions 4B provided in the first housing portion 32A. Similarly, in the second plate-shaped portion 2G, the two locking portions 4A are positioned so as to face the two locked portions 4B provided in the second housing portion 32B. Specifically, in each of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G, each locking portion 4A is positioned so as to face the corresponding locked portion 4B when the second plate-shaped portion 2G and the extending portion 3B are in the housing position. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G and the extending portion 3B are in the housing position, the corresponding locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B are locked to each other. Here, in this embodiment, the extending portion 3B is separate from the second plate-shaped portion 2G. Therefore, in this embodiment, the behavior of the second plate-shaped portion 2G when pulled in a direction away from the first plate-shaped portion 2F differs from that of the first embodiment.

[0080] 6A and 6B, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G is pulled in a direction away from the first plate-shaped portion 2F, one of the locking portions 4A provided on the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G disengages from the corresponding locked portion 4B before the other. That is, the lock between the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B is released on one of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G before the other.

[0081] 6A to 6C show an example in which the locking portion 4A provided on the second plate-shaped portion 2G disengages from the corresponding locked portion 4B before the locking portion 4A provided on the first plate-shaped portion 2F. In this case, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G is further pulled in a direction away from the first plate-shaped portion 2F, the second plate-shaped portion 2G slides relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2F while the extension portion 3B remains fixed to the first plate-shaped portion 2F, as shown in Fig. 6B. In other words, of the second plate-shaped portion 2G and the extension portion 3B, only the second plate-shaped portion 2G slides relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2F.

[0082] After the second accommodating portion 32B contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E2 on the inner surface of the second plate-shaped portion 2G, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G is pulled further, the locking portion 4A provided on the first plate-shaped portion 2F disengages from the corresponding locked portion 4B. When the second plate-shaped portion 2G is pulled further, the second plate-shaped portion 2G slides relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2F together with the extending portion 3B, as shown in Fig. 6C. The second plate-shaped portion 2G can slide until the first accommodating portion 32A contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E1 on the inner surface of the first plate-shaped portion 2F.

[0083] Although not shown, if the locking portion 4A on the first plate-shaped portion 2F disengages from the corresponding locked portion 4B first, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G is pulled further, the second plate-shaped portion 2G slides together with the extending portion 3B relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2F. After the first housing portion 32A contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E1 on the inner surface of the first plate-shaped portion 2F, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G is pulled further, the locking portion 4A on the second plate-shaped portion 2G disengages from the corresponding locked portion 4B. Then, when the second plate-shaped portion 2G is pulled further, the position of the extending portion 3B remains unchanged, and the second plate-shaped portion 2G slides further relative to the first plate-shaped portion 2F. The second plate-shaped portion 2G can slide until the second housing portion 32B contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E2 on the inner surface of the second plate-shaped portion 2G.

[0084] Thus, in this embodiment, the deployed position corresponds to the position where the first storage section 32A contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E1 on the inner surface of the first plate-shaped section 2F, and the second storage section 32B contacts the edge surrounding the communication opening E2 on the inner surface of the second plate-shaped section 2G.

[0085] [5-2.Effects] According to the fifth embodiment described above in detail, the same effects as those (1a) to (1c), (1e) and (1f) above can be obtained, and the following effects can also be obtained.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G are both formed with storage spaces S1 and S2 and communication openings E1 and E2. The extension portion 3B is configured to include a first storage section 32A and a second storage section 32B. In other words, the extension portion 3B is disposed across the storage space S1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the storage space S2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G via the communication openings E1 and E2.

[0087] With this configuration, the extending portion 3B can be accommodated not only in the accommodation space S1 of the first plate-shaped portion 2F but also in the accommodation space S2 of the second plate-shaped portion 2G, so that, for example, a larger extending portion 3B can be accommodated inside the first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G of the same size. Also, for example, extending portions 3B of the same size can be accommodated inside the smaller first plate-shaped portion 2F and the second plate-shaped portion 2G. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the sizes of the first plate-shaped portion 2F, the second plate-shaped portion 2G, and the extending portion 3B can be increased.

[0088] [5-3. Correspondence] In the fifth embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 2F corresponds to an example of a first outer shell portion. The second plate-shaped portion 2G corresponds to an example of a second outer shell portion. The first accommodating portion 32A corresponds to an example of a tip-side accommodating portion. The second accommodating portion 32B corresponds to an example of a base-side accommodating portion. The locking portion 4A provided on the first plate-shaped portion 2F corresponds to an example of a tip-side locking portion. The locking portion 4A provided on the second plate-shaped portion 2G corresponds to an example of a base-side locking portion. The locked portion 4B provided on the first accommodating portion 32A corresponds to an example of a tip-side locked portion. The locked portion 4B provided on the second accommodating portion 32B corresponds to an example of a base-side locked portion.

[0089] 6. Other Embodiments Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can take on various forms.

[0090] (6a) In the first to fifth embodiments, a specific example of the locking portion 4A and the locked portion 4B is a combination of the north and south poles of a magnet. However, the locking portion and the locked portion can take various forms that allow them to be locked to each other. For example, the locking portion and the locked portion may be a combination of a recess and a protrusion that can fit together.

[0091] (6b) In the first to fourth embodiments, one locking portion 4A was provided on each of the plate-shaped portions 2A, 2C, and 2D. The extension portion 3, 3A housed in the plate-shaped portion 2A, 2C, and 2D was provided with one locked portion 4B. In the fifth embodiment, two locking portions 4A were provided on each of the two plate-shaped portions 2F and 2G. The extension portion 3B housed across the two plate-shaped portions 2F and 2G was provided with four locked portions 4B. Thus, the number of locking portions provided on each of the plate-shaped portions and the number of locked portions provided on each of the extension portions are not particularly limited and may be, for example, one or more. Furthermore, for example, the number of locking portions and the number of locked portions included in one sliding small item may be the same as in the first to fifth embodiments, or may be different.

[0092] As a specific example, one locking portion may be provided on one plate-shaped portion, and two locked portions may be provided on the corresponding locking portion. In this case, one locking portion is provided in a position where it can face each of the two locked portions. For example, one locking portion may be provided in a position where it faces one of the two locked portions when the extension portion is in the stored position, and where it faces the other of the two locked portions when the extension portion is in the deployed position. This configuration makes it easier to fix the position of the extension portion relative to the plate-shaped portion both when the extension portion is in the stored position and when it is in the deployed position.

[0093] As another specific example, one extension portion may be provided with one locked portion, and two locking portions may be provided with the corresponding plate-shaped portion. In this case, the two locking portions are provided at different positions so as to face the one locked portion. For example, one of the two locking portions may be provided at a position facing the one locked portion when the extension portion is in the stowed position, and the other of the two locking portions may be provided at a position facing the one locked portion when the extension portion is in the deployed position. This configuration also makes it easier to fix the position of the extension portion relative to the plate-shaped portion when the extension portion is in both the stowed position and the deployed position.

[0094] (6c) In the first to fourth embodiments, the locked portion 4B is provided on the protruding portion 312. However, the locked portion does not necessarily have to be provided on the protruding portion, and may be provided on the wide portion, for example. Furthermore, for example, if the locked portion is not provided on the protruding portion, the accommodating portion does not necessarily have to have a protruding portion, as in the fifth embodiment.

[0095] (6d) In the first to fifth embodiments, when the extending portions 3, 3A, 3B are in the storage position, the end faces 23 of adjacent plate-shaped portions 2A to 2G are in contact with each other. However, when the extending portions are in the storage position, the end faces of adjacent plate-shaped portions do not necessarily have to be in contact with each other; for example, there may be a gap between the end faces.

[0096] (6e) In the first to fifth embodiments, the plate-shaped portions 2A to 2G were given as an example of the first and second outer shell portions. However, the first and second outer shell portions do not necessarily have to be plate-shaped and may have various shapes having end faces. For example, the first and second outer shell portions may be columnar, hemispherical, spherically deformed, spherical crown-shaped, etc.

[0097] (6f) The function of one component in the above embodiments may be distributed among multiple components, or the functions of multiple components may be integrated into one component. Also, part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be omitted. Furthermore, at least part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be added to or substituted for the configuration of another of the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
