Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] However, in the above portable game machine, for example, there is no stopper for fixing the middle finger, and there is a problem that it is not sufficient in terms of stable operation of the portable game machine and there is room for improvement.
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a stopper tool not limited to a game machine and a cover body limited to a game machine that eliminates the above problems.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0007] Claim 1The described stopper tool is a stopper tool that abuts against the hand that has abutted the main body and prevents the movement of the hand. The main body is provided with a plurality of flexible standing portions that are parallel and stand upright, and a gap portion formed between adjacent standing portions. The gap portion has openings at both ends when viewed from the front of the stopper tool. The plurality of flexible standing portions include at least a first group of standing portions and a second group of standing portions that are close to the first group of standing portions and are arranged obliquely with respect to the first group of standing portions. The first group of standing portions is a plurality of flexible standing portions provided on the main body at intervals, and the second group of standing portions is a plurality of flexible standing portions provided on the main body at intervals. When the hand that has abutted the main body abuts against the first standing portion Group and deforms the first standing portion Group , it has a first use state in which the movement of the hand is blocked by the deformed first standing portion Group . By changing the handle of the main body in the first use state and abutting the hand, when it abuts against the second standing portion Group and deforms the second standing portion Group , it has a second use state in which the movement of the hand is blocked by the deformed second standing portion Group .
[0008] Also, in claim 2 , the main body of the stopper tool described in claim 1 record covers the controller of the game machine.
Effects of the Invention
[0010] Claim 1According to the described stopper tool, the hand (for example, the middle finger) that abuts against the main body abuts against the first and second erected portions, deforms the first and second erected portions, and the deformed first and second erected portions can prevent the movement of the hand (for example, the middle finger). Moreover, the stopper function can be exerted at any abutting position among the plurality of flexible first and second erected portions. In addition, the portions that the hand (for example, the middle finger) abuts against are the plurality of tip portions of the first and second erected portions, which are not slippery. Furthermore, the hand (for example, the middle finger) that abuts against the main body has a first usage state in which it abuts against the first erected portion, deforms the first erected portion, and the deformed first erected portion prevents the movement of the hand (for example, the middle finger). By changing the handle of the main body in the first usage state and abutting the hand (for example, the middle finger) against the second erected portion, deforming the second erected portion, and the deformed second erected portion prevents the movement of the hand (for example, the middle finger), it is possible to expand and correspond to the usage range of the hand (for example, the middle finger).
[0011] Also, according to claim 2 According to the described cover body, the hand (for example, the middle finger) that abuts against the main body covering the controller of the game machine abuts against the erected portion, deforms the erected portion, and the deformed erected portion can prevent the movement of the hand (for example, the middle finger). Moreover, the stopper function can be exerted at any abutting position among the plurality of flexible erected portions. In addition, the portions that the hand (for example, the middle finger) abuts against are the plurality of tip portions of the erected portion, which has effects such as being not slippery.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0013] The stopper tool and cover body according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 18). S shown in FIG. 1 is a stopper tool that abuts against the hand that abuts against the main body 1 and prevents the hand from moving (see FIGS. 1 to 12). The main body 1 is, for example, a cover body that covers the controller C of the game machine 2. 3 and 4 are operation keys (see FIGS. 13 to 18). As shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of flexible standing portions 5 are standing on the main body 1. The standing portion 5 is formed of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), which is a material having both a flexible elasticity like rubber and a strength like hard plastic, for example. A gap portion 5K is formed between adjacent standing portions 5, 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the hand (for example, the middle finger, ring finger) that abuts against the main body 1 abuts against the standing portion 5, deforms the standing portion 5, and the deformed standing portion 5 can prevent the hand (for example, the middle finger, ring finger) from moving.
[0014] Therefore, according to the stopper tool S described above, the hand that abuts against the main body 1 abuts against the standing portion 5, deforms the standing portion 5, and the deformed standing portion 5 can prevent the hand from moving. Moreover, the stopper function is exhibited at any abutting position among the plurality of flexible standing portions 5. In addition, the portion where the hand abuts is the plurality of tip portions of the standing portion 5, and has effects such as being difficult to slip.
[0015] In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of flexible standing portions 5 have at least a first standing portion group 5X in which a plurality of flexible standing portions 5 are arranged side by side, and a plurality of flexible standing portions 5 that are close to the first standing portion group 5X and are arranged side by side and are inclined with respect to the first standing portion group 5X. And a second standing portion group 5Y. The first standing portion group 5X is a plurality of flexible first standing portions 5'(5) provided on the main body 1 at intervals, and the second standing portion group 5Y is a plurality of flexible second standing portions 5''(5) provided on the main body 1 at intervals. Then, the hand that touches the main body 1 touches the first standing part 5’(5), deforms the first standing part 5’(5), and has a first usage state in which the movement of the hand is blocked by the deformed first standing part 5’(5) [see Fig. 13(a)]. By changing the handle of the main body 1 in this first usage state and making the touching hand touch the second standing part 5”(5), the second standing part 5”(5) is deformed, and there is a second usage state in which the movement of the hand is blocked by the deformed second standing part 5”(5) [see Fig. 13(b)].
[0016] Therefore, according to the stopper tool S described above, the hand that touches the main body 1 touches the first and second standing parts 5’(5), 5”(5), deforms the first and second standing parts 5’(5), 5”(5), and the movement of the hand can be blocked by the deformed first and second standing parts 5’(5), 5”(5). Moreover, the stopper function is exerted at any touched position among the plurality of flexible first and second standing parts 5’(5), 5”(5). In addition, the parts touched by the hand are the plurality of tip parts of the first and second standing parts 5’(5), 5”(5), which are difficult to slip. Furthermore, the hand that touches the main body 1 touches the first standing part 5’(5), deforms the first standing part 5’(5), and has a first usage state in which the movement of the hand is blocked by the deformed first standing part 5’(5) [see Fig. 13(a)]. Since the hand that touches the main body in the first usage state changes the handle and touches the second standing part 5”(5), deforms the second standing part 5”(5), and has a second usage state in which the movement of the hand is blocked by the deformed second standing part 5”(5) [see Fig. 13(b)], the usage range of the hand can be expanded to cope with it.
[0017] Also, when the main body 1 of the stopper tool S described above is applied to a cover body that covers the controller C of the game machine 2, even if the controller C of the game machine 2 does not have a stopper function, the cover body 1 that covers the controller C of the game machine 2 can add a stopper function to prevent slipping, make it easier to hold, and improve the convenience of operating the controller C of the game machine 2.
