AI Technical Summary
As the cutting height of a clipper attachment increases, the comb teeth protruding from the clipper become longer, leading to deformation due to frictional forces with the scalp, and the space above the clipper for ejecting cut hair can cause clogging.
The clipper attachment features a first comb portion with comb teeth that increase in width from the tip towards the frame body, and a second comb portion with shorter comb teeth arranged alternately, along with grooves and ribs for enhanced strength and hair debris expulsion.
This design stabilizes the cutting height by reducing comb tooth deformation and provides a wide space for ejecting cut hair, preventing clogging and ensuring efficient hair cutting.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a hair clipper attachment that is attached to a hair clipper. [Background technology]
[0002] Hair clippers (sometimes called hair clippers or hair cutters) are barber tools used to cut hair, and are often used with an attachment (sometimes called a hair clipper comb) to adjust the height at which hair is cut (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). The attachment is provided with a comb part having teeth for combing the hair, and the height at which hair is cut can be adjusted by changing the distance between the tips of the teeth that come into contact with the scalp and the blades of the hair clippers.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-535889 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2018-521772 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] When the cutting height increases, the distance from the blade of the clipper to the tip of the comb teeth of the attachment also increases. In this case, the length of the comb teeth of the attachment protruding from the clipper becomes longer, so when the clipper is moved while the tip of the comb teeth is in contact with the scalp, the comb teeth are deformed due to friction with the scalp, resulting in a change in the cutting height. In particular, the comb part located above the clipper is separated from the clipper in order to secure a space for discharging the cut hair, and there is a problem that the comb teeth are easily deformed.
[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a hair clipper attachment having an improved comb portion strength. Another object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a hair clipper attachment including a comb portion that can easily eject cut hair. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] A hair clipper attachment according to one embodiment of the present invention is a hair clipper attachment that is removably attached to the hair clippers, and includes a first comb portion that is located above the blades of the hair clippers when attached to the hair clippers, the first comb portion including first comb teeth and a first frame body to which the first comb teeth are connected, and in a planar view, the width of the first comb teeth increases from the tips of the first comb teeth toward the first frame body to which the first comb teeth are connected.
[0007] A lower portion of the first comb tooth may include a groove along the extending direction of the first comb tooth. A lower portion of the first frame may include a rib extending from a side portion of the groove.
[0008] The first comb portion may further include second teeth connected to the first frame, and the length of the second teeth may be shorter than the length of the first teeth. In a plan view, the width of the second teeth may increase from the tip of the second teeth toward the first frame to which the second teeth are connected.
[0009] A plurality of the first comb teeth and a plurality of the second comb teeth may be provided, and the first comb teeth and the second comb teeth may be arranged alternately.
[0010] The hair clipper attachment further includes a second comb portion located below the blade portion of the hair clipper when attached to the hair clipper, the second comb portion including third comb teeth and a second frame body to which the third comb teeth are connected, and in a plan view, the width of the third comb teeth may be less than or equal to the width of the first comb teeth.
[0011] A plurality of the first comb teeth and a plurality of the third comb teeth may be provided, and the number of the first comb teeth may be less than the number of the third comb teeth.
[0012] A plurality of the first comb teeth and a plurality of the third comb teeth may be provided, and the distance between two adjacent first comb teeth may be greater than the distance between two adjacent third comb teeth.
[0013] In a plan view, each of the plurality of first comb teeth may overlap a third comb tooth. Effect of the Invention
[0014] The clipper attachment according to one embodiment of the present invention has improved strength of the first comb teeth of the first comb part located above the blade of the clipper when attached to the clipper, so that deformation of the first comb teeth can be suppressed. Therefore, when cutting hair using the clipper attachment according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cutting height can be stabilized. In addition, the clipper attachment according to one embodiment of the present invention has a large space for discharging the cut hair, so that clogging with hair chips can be prevented.

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In order to clearly explain the embodiment of the present invention, the width, thickness, shape, etc. of each component may be shown in a schematic manner compared to the actual embodiment. However, the components shown in the drawings are merely examples and do not limit the interpretation of the present invention. In addition, in the specification and drawings, the same reference numerals may be used to designate components similar to those described in the previously shown figures, and detailed descriptions may be omitted.
[0017] The present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and should not be construed as being limited to the description of the embodiments described below.
[0018] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the terms "on" or "above" include both a case where a structure is placed directly on top of another structure, and a case where a structure is placed on top of another structure via another structure. The same applies to the terms "under" or "below".
[0019] In addition, in this specification, "top" or "upper" refers to the side from which cut hair is discharged in a manner in which the hair clipper is normally used, and "bottom" or "lower" refers to the opposite side of "top" or "upper".
[0020] First Embodiment 1A to 8, a configuration of a hair clipper attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that, hereinafter, the hair clipper attachment 100 will be referred to as attachment 100 for convenience.
[0021] 1A and 1B are perspective views showing a usage state of the attachment 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The attachment 100 can be detachably attached to the hair clipper 200. The attachment 100 can be slid to adjust the position where it is attached to the hair clipper 200. Both Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B are views showing the attachment 100 attached to the hair clipper 200. In Fig. 1A, the tip of the attachment 100 (the part where the attachment 100 comes into contact with the scalp) is approximately aligned with the tip of the hair clipper 200 (the part where the hair is cut), whereas in Fig. 1B, the attachment 100 protrudes from the tip of the hair clipper 200, and the tip of the attachment 100 and the tip of the hair clipper 200 are spaced apart at a predetermined interval.
[0022] The hair clipper 200 includes a main body 210, a blade section 220, a switch 230, and an attachment adjustment dial 240. The details of the configuration of the attachment 100 will be described later, but the attachment 100 includes a first comb section 110 and a second comb section 120 connected to the first comb section 110. In the attachment 100 shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the first comb section 110 and the second comb section 120 are integrally formed and connected, but they may be formed individually and connected. The attachment 100 is attached to the main body 210 so as to cover the blade section 220 of the hair clipper 200. Specifically, the attachment 100 is attached to the hair clipper 200 so that the first comb section 110 and the second comb section 120 are located above and below the blade section 220, respectively. In other words, the attachment 100 is attached to the hair clipper 200 such that the blade portion 220 of the hair clipper 200 is disposed between the first comb portion 110 and the second comb portion 120 .
[0023] When the switch 230 provided on the top surface of the main body 210 of the hair clipper 200 is turned on, the blade section 220 provided at the tip of the main body 210 is driven. The blade section 220 has a configuration in which a comb-shaped fixed blade having a width in the y direction and a comb-shaped movable blade are overlapped, and the movable blade moves back and forth (vibrates) while sliding against the fixed blade. Hair caught between the fixed blade and the movable blade is cut by the reciprocating movement of the movable blade. Therefore, the user can cut hair by turning on the switch 230 and moving the main body 210 along the scalp. The cut hair (hereinafter referred to as hair scraps) is discharged from the top of the hair clipper 200 (above the blade section 220). In other words, the hair scraps are discharged from the first comb section 110 side of the attachment 100.
[0024] The attachment adjustment dial 240 can move the attachment 100 attached to the hair clipper 200 in the x direction. In other words, the attachment adjustment dial 240 can adjust the distance between the blade portion 220 and the tip of the attachment 100. Therefore, the user can operate the attachment adjustment dial 240 to determine the hair cutting height.
[0025] Next, the configuration of the attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0026] Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a configuration of the attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the first comb portion 110 side of the attachment 100 as viewed obliquely from the front.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, the first comb portion 110 of the attachment 100 includes a first frame body 111, a plurality of first comb teeth 112, and a plurality of second comb teeth 113. The first frame body 111 has two side portions 111a connected to a base portion 111b, and is integrally formed so as to be substantially U-shaped. Each of the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 extends from the base portion 111b inside the first frame body 111. In other words, one end of each of the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 is connected to the base portion 111b of the first frame body 111. The other end of the first comb teeth 112 substantially coincides with the end face of the side portion 111a of the first frame body 111, and constitutes the tip portion of the attachment 100. That is, the other end of the first comb tooth 112 and the end face of the side portion 111a of the first frame body 111 come into contact with the scalp when the hair clippers 200 are in use.
[0028] Although the shape of the scalp is curved, by bringing the first comb teeth 112 into contact with the scalp, it is possible to maintain a constant distance between the blade section 220 and the attachment 100. Therefore, by providing the first comb teeth 112, the cutting height becomes constant, and so-called tiger cutting can be prevented.
[0029] The length of the second comb teeth 113 is shorter than the length of the first comb teeth 112. The length of the second comb teeth 113 is, for example, ½ or less than the length of the first comb teeth 112, and preferably ⅓ or less than the length of the first comb teeth 112. When the length of the second comb teeth 113 is shorter than the length of the first comb teeth 112, a space with a wide gap between two adjacent comb teeth can be formed. Hair scraps are discharged from the first comb portion 110 side, but since the hair scraps can be discharged from the space with a wide gap between two adjacent comb teeth, clogging of the attachment 100 is unlikely to occur.
[0030] It is preferable that the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 are provided in plural, but this is not limited thereto. At least one of the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 may be provided. When the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 are provided in plural, it is preferable that the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 are arranged alternately. As described above, the length of the second comb teeth 113 is shorter than the length of the first comb teeth 112, so that the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 are arranged alternately, so that the space between the two adjacent first comb teeth 112 is widened, and hair waste is easily discharged. In addition, the second comb teeth 113 are arranged between the two adjacent first comb teeth 112, so that the force received from the combed hair can be dispersed. Therefore, deformation of the first comb teeth 112 can be suppressed.
[0031] Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a configuration of the attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the second comb portion 120 side of the attachment 100 as viewed obliquely from the front.
[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, the second comb portion 120 of the attachment 100 includes a second frame body 121 and a plurality of third comb teeth 122. The second frame body 121 has two side portions 121a connected to a curved base portion 121b, which are integrally formed to form a substantially U-shape. In other words, the second frame body 121 has a shape including an opening in which a part of a semi-cylindrical shape is cut out. When the clipper 200 of the attachment 100 is attached, the second comb portion 120 engages with the main body 210 of the clipper 200 and is fixed. Therefore, it is preferable that the second frame body 121 has a shape that follows the outer shape of the main body 210, but is not limited thereto. The third comb teeth 122 have a flat plate shape and extend from the base portion 121b inside the second frame body 121. In other words, one end of the third comb teeth 122 is connected to the base 121b of the second frame body 121. The other end of the third comb teeth 122 is substantially aligned with an end face of the side portion 121a of the second frame body 121, and constitutes the tip of the attachment 100. That is, the other end of the third comb teeth 122 and the end face of the side portion 121a of the second frame body 121 come into contact with the scalp when the hair clipper 200 is in use.
[0033] When the attachment 100 attached to the hair clipper 200 is slid, the third comb teeth 122 protrude in front of the blade section 220 of the hair clipper 200. In this case, the hair cut by the blade section 220 can be combed and made to stand by the third comb section 122. Therefore, by providing the third comb section 122, the cutting height can be adjusted. In addition, although the shape of the scalp is curved, the distance between the blade section 220 and the attachment 100 can be kept constant by bringing the third comb teeth 122 into contact with the scalp. Therefore, by providing the third comb section 122, the cutting height becomes constant, and so-called tiger cutting can be prevented.
[0034] A part of the third comb teeth 122 may protrude to the outside of the second frame body 121 (z direction in FIG. 3). With this configuration, the flat area of the third comb teeth 122 can be increased, the strength of the third comb teeth 122 can be increased, and the combed hair can be stabilized. As described above, since the strength of the third comb teeth 122 can be increased by increasing the flat area, the width of the third comb teeth 122 may be equal to or smaller than the width of the first comb teeth 112.
[0035] It is preferable that a plurality of third comb teeth 122 are provided, but this is not limiting. At least one third comb tooth 122 may be provided.
[0036] FIG. 4 is a side view showing the configuration of the attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0037] As shown in FIG. 4, the first comb portion 110 and the second comb portion 120 are integrally formed and connected. Specifically, the side portion 111a of the first frame body 111 and the side portion 121a of the second frame body 121 are integrally formed and connected. A guide rail 121c that fits into a groove provided in the main body 210 of the hair clipper 200 is provided at the upper end of the side portion 121a of the second frame body 121 (see also FIG. 2). In addition, a cutout portion 121d is provided in a part of the guide rail 121c (see also FIG. 2). As described above, the attachment 100 attached to the hair clipper 200 can be adjusted in position by the attachment adjustment dial 240 of the hair clipper 200. At this time, the attachment 100 can move in the x direction along the groove of the main body 210 of the hair clipper 200 into which the guide rail 121c fits. Furthermore, a protrusion provided on the main body 210 of the hair clipper 200 fits into the notch 121d, thereby allowing the attachment 100 to be fixed in position.
[0038] In a side view, the first comb portion 110 and the second comb portion 120 may be connected at a certain angle in accordance with the shape of the main body 210 or the blade portion 220 of the hair clipper 200. In addition, in a side view, a part of the third comb teeth 122 may be provided so as to protrude from the lower surface of the second frame body 121. The third comb teeth 122 may be provided so as to vary in height (distance in the z direction). For example, in a side view, the third comb teeth 122 may include a portion whose height increases with increasing distance from the position where the third comb teeth 122 is connected to the base portion 121b of the second frame body 121.
[0039] Fig. 5 is a plan view showing the configuration of an attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 5 is a plan view seen from the first comb portion 110 side of the attachment 100. Fig. 6 is a front view showing the configuration of the attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, in a plan view, each of the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 overlaps with the third comb teeth 122. In addition, it is preferable that the first comb teeth 112 and the third comb teeth 122 overlap so that their extending directions (x direction) are substantially the same. By overlapping the first comb teeth 112 and the third comb teeth 122, the combed hair can be stably made to stand using not only the third comb teeth 122 but also the first comb teeth 112. Therefore, the cutting height is stable. In addition, as described above, the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 are arranged alternately. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the number of the first comb teeth 112 and the number of the second comb teeth 113 are less than the number of the third comb teeth 122. In other words, the distance between two adjacent first comb teeth 112 and the distance between two adjacent second comb teeth 113 are greater than the distance between two adjacent third comb teeth 122 .
[0041] As shown in FIG. 5, the width of each of the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 in the y direction is not constant. The width of the first comb teeth 112 increases from the other end of the first comb teeth 112 toward one end (from the tip of the first comb teeth 112 toward the connection with the base 111b). That is, the width of the first comb teeth 112 is narrow at the tip, making it easy to comb hair, and the width is wide at the connection with the base 111b, so the strength of the first comb teeth 112 can be increased. Similarly, the width of the second comb teeth 113 also increases from the other end of the second comb teeth 113 toward one end (from the tip of the second comb teeth 113 toward the connection with the base 111b). However, since the tip of the second comb teeth 113 does not directly contact the scalp, the second comb teeth 113 may have a constant width.
[0042] The width of the third comb teeth 122 in the y direction is constant. In order to stabilize the cutting height, the third comb teeth 122 need to have a strength that is not easily deformed. The tips of the third comb teeth 122 directly contact the scalp, but the third comb teeth 122 extend from the base 121b fixed to the hair clipper 200, and have a flat plate shape as described above, so the third comb teeth 122 are not easily deformed. Therefore, the third comb teeth 122 can maintain their strength even if they have a constant width. However, the width of the third comb teeth 122 may increase from the other end to one end of the third comb teeth 122 (from the tips of the third comb teeth 122 to the connection part with the base 121b). In this case, the strength of the third comb teeth 122 can be further increased.
[0043] Each of Fig. 7A and Fig. 7B is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of an attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, each of Fig. 7A and Fig. 7B is a cross-sectional view of the attachment 100 taken along the line A1-A2 shown in Fig. 4. Note that Fig. 7B shows not only the attachment 100 but also a cross-sectional view of the hair clipper 200 in the usage state shown in Fig. 1A.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, the first comb teeth 112 have a U-shape in cross section. In other words, the first comb teeth 112 have grooves 112a along the extension direction (x direction) of the first comb teeth 112 (see also FIG. 3). The first comb teeth 112 have a U-shape, so that a space corresponding to the grooves 112a can be secured in the first comb teeth 112 while maintaining the strength of the first comb teeth 112. That is, the space above the blade portion 220 of the hair clipper 200 can be expanded. Although not shown in FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, the second comb teeth 113 also have grooves 113a along the extension direction (x direction) of the second comb teeth 113.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 7B, even when the attachment 100 is attached to the hair clipper 200, the base 111b of the first comb part 110 is not fixed to the hair clipper 200 (see also FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B). A space for discharging hair chips is secured on the first comb part 110 side. In the attachment 100, not only are the two adjacent first comb teeth 112 spaced apart widely, but the first comb teeth 112 are provided with grooves 112a. Therefore, hair chips can be discharged through the grooves 112a, so that the attachment 100 is less likely to become clogged with hair chips. It is preferable that the grooves 112a are visible from the front of the attachment 100 (see also FIG. 6). Since a flow for discharging hair chips is formed, hair chips are easily discharged and hair chips are less likely to become clogged.
[0046] In order to further increase the space for discharging hair waste, a recess may be provided on the upper surface of the main body 210 of the hair clipper 200.
[0047] Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the configuration of an attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the attachment 100 as viewed from the rear.
[0048] As described above, the first comb teeth 112 are provided with grooves 112a along the extension direction (x direction) of the first comb teeth 112. In addition, in FIG. 8, the second comb teeth 113 are also provided with grooves 113a along the extension direction (x direction) of the second comb teeth 113. The sides of the grooves 112a extend to the base 111b of the first frame 111, and the ribs 111c are formed on the lower surface of the base 111b. Note that it is preferable that the sides of the grooves 112a and the ribs 111c are formed continuously.
[0049] When the attachment 100 is attached to the hair clipper 200 and used, the base 111b of the first comb part 110 is not directly fixed to the hair clipper 200. Therefore, unlike the base 121b of the second comb part 120, when the vibration of the blade part 220 of the hair clipper 200 is transmitted to the base 111b of the first comb part 110, the base 111b and the first comb teeth 112 vibrate. If the strength of the base 111b and the first comb teeth 112 is low, the amplitude of the vibration of the base 111b and the first comb teeth 112 increases. However, in the attachment 100, the strength of the base 111b is increased by forming the rib 111c on the lower surface of the base 111b, so that the vibration of the base 111b is suppressed. As a result of the suppression of the vibration of the base 111b, the vibration of the first comb teeth 112 is also suppressed.
[0050] In addition, when the hair clippers 200 are moved while the tips of the first comb teeth 112 are in contact with the scalp to cut the hair, a frictional force in the z-axis direction is generated at the tips of the first comb teeth 112 in response to the movement of the hair clippers 200. The sides of the grooves 112a of the first comb teeth 112 have a height in the z-direction and are connected to the ribs 111c. Therefore, even though the first comb teeth 112 have the grooves 112a, the strength of the first comb teeth 112 is maintained and deformation of the first comb teeth 112 due to the frictional force is suppressed.
[0051] The configuration of the attachment 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but when the attachment 100 is attached to the hair clipper 200, the first comb portion 110 located above the blade portion 220 of the hair clipper 200 includes the first comb teeth 112, and the width of the first comb teeth 112 increases from the tip of the first comb teeth 112 toward the connection portion with the base portion 111b to which it is connected. Therefore, the tip of the first comb teeth 112 makes it easy to comb hair, and the width is wider at the connection portion with the base portion 111b, so that the strength of the first comb teeth 112 can be increased.
[0052] In the attachment 100, the first comb teeth 112 are provided with grooves 112a, and the sides of the grooves 112a extend to the base 111b of the first frame 111 along the extending direction of the first comb teeth 112, and ribs 111c are formed on the lower surface of the base 111b. The ribs 111c can increase the strength of the base 111b. Even though the first comb teeth 112 have the grooves 112a, the grooves 112a have a height in the direction of the frictional force generated at the tips of the first comb teeth 112, so that the strength of the first comb teeth 112 is maintained.
[0053] Therefore, because the strength of the first comb portion 110 of the attachment 100 is increased, even if the tip of the first comb teeth 112 comes into contact with the scalp, deformation of the first comb teeth 112 due to frictional forces is suppressed, and the cutting height is stabilized.
[0054] Furthermore, in the attachment 100, the first comb part 110 includes not only the first comb teeth 112 but also the second comb teeth 113 that are shorter than the length of the first comb teeth 112, and the first comb teeth 112 and the second comb teeth 113 are arranged alternately. Therefore, the interval between the two adjacent first comb teeth 112 is large, and a large space is secured above the blade part 220 of the hair clipper 200. Therefore, the space for discharging hair chips is large, and clogging of hair chips can be suppressed. In addition, hair chips can be discharged through the grooves 112a of the first comb teeth 112, so clogging of hair chips can be further prevented. The second comb teeth 113 can comb hair when the cutting height of the hair is large.
[0055] <Second embodiment> A configuration of a hair clipper attachment 100A according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9. In the following, the hair clipper attachment 100A will be described as the attachment 100A. When the configuration of the attachment 100A is the same as that of the attachment 100, the description of the configuration of the attachment 100A may be omitted.
[0056] Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing a configuration of an attachment 100A according to one embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the second comb portion 120A side of the attachment 100A as viewed obliquely from the front.
[0057] The attachment 100A includes a first comb portion 110A and a second comb portion 120 connected to the first comb portion 110A. A groove 112Aa is provided in the first comb tooth 112A of the first comb portion 110A. The second frame body 121A of the second comb portion 120A is integrally formed such that two side portions 121Aa are connected to a curved base portion 121Ab and are substantially U-shaped. The side portion 121Aa of the second frame body 121A includes a cutout portion 121Ae in which an end surface is cut out so as not to come into contact with the scalp when the hair clipper 200 is used. That is, the cutout portion 121Ae is provided so that the side portion 121Aa of the second frame body 121A has a large space.
[0058] When the hair clipper 200 is small, the attachment 100A is also small according to the size of the hair clipper 200. In this case, there are cases where it is not possible to secure a sufficient space for discharging hair chips in the first comb part 110A. In addition, when cutting short hair, hair chips also accumulate in the second comb part 120A. However, in the attachment 100A, the side part 121Aa of the second comb part is provided with a notch 121Ae, and hair chips can be discharged not only from the groove 112Aa but also from the notch 121Ae. Therefore, even when the attachment 100A is attached to a small hair clipper 200, clogging of hair chips can be prevented.
[0059] Based on one embodiment described in this specification, a person skilled in the art may add, delete, or modify components as appropriate, or add, omit, or change steps, or conditions, within the scope of the present invention, as long as the essence of the present invention is maintained.
[0060] Furthermore, even if there are other effects and advantages different from those brought about by the aspects of one embodiment described in this specification, those that are clear from the description in this specification or that can be easily predicted by a person skilled in the art are naturally understood to be brought about by the present invention.
