Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a safety device for a hand-held magnetic attachment device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a safety device for a hand-held magnetic attachment device used for a hand-held functional device having a functional device body with a functional surface on the bottom surface and a handle integrated with the functional device body.

Background Art

[0002] As an example of a hand-held functional device having a functional device body with a functional surface on the bottom surface and a handle integrated with the functional device body, there is a temporary handle of Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. 11, this temporary handle 90 includes a base member 91 and a grip 92. The base member 91 is detachably adsorbed to a lifting weight 93 made of a magnetically attractive metal. The grip 92 is a handle disposed on the base member 91 and can be gripped with at least one hand. That is, the bottom surface of the base member 91 functions as a magnetic adsorption surface.

[0003] According to this temporary handle 90, when performing the ball hanging operation of the lifting weight 93 such as a steel plate, after magnetically adsorbing the temporary handle 90 to the surface 94 of the lifting weight 93, the lifting weight 93 is lifted by a ceiling crane (not shown) and a wire 95 or the like. In this case, the temporary handle 90 is attached to the lifting weight 93 by adsorbing the magnetic force adsorption portion (magnetic adsorption surface) 96 on the bottom surface of the base member 91 of the temporary handle 90 to the surface 94 of the lifting weight 93.

[0004] Since the temporary handle 90 attached to the surface 94 of the lifting weight 93 is integrated with the lifting weight 93, if the operator grips the grip 92 of the temporary handle 90 by hand, the operator can easily maintain the posture of the lifting weight 93 in a fixed state or perform positioning when landing the lifting weight 93 according to the will of the operator. Thus, by using the temporary handle 90 in the ball hanging operation, the operator can easily and safely perform the posture adjustment operation and the landing position adjustment operation of the lifting weight 93 without touching the lifting weight 93 or the wire 95.

[0005] Japanese Patent Document 1 Utility Model Registration No. 3212882 Disclosure of the Invention Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] By the way, since the magnetic adsorption part 96 of the above-mentioned temporary handle 90 is always exposed when not in use, it may inadvertently adsorb to an iron plate or tool in the vicinity. In particular, when the magnetic force of the magnetic adsorption part 96 is strong, it may cause injury when a hand or finger is pinched between the magnetic adsorption part 96 and the adsorbed object. Such a problem is not limited to the above-mentioned temporary handle having a magnetic adsorption surface as a functional surface, but also applies to, for example, an iron whose functional surface generates high heat.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a safety device for a handheld functional instrument having a functional instrument body provided with a functional surface on the bottom surface and a handle integrated with the functional instrument body, and aims to provide a safety device for a handheld functional instrument that can prevent unexpected accidents caused by the functional surface. Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The present invention takes the following means to solve the above problems. The reference numerals in parentheses attached to each constituent means in this column (the column of "Means for Solving the Problems") are for reference to show the correspondence with the specific means described in the embodiments described later, and the constituent means of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0009] One aspect of the present invention is a safety device (3) for a handheld functional appliance (1) used in a handheld functional appliance (1) having a functional appliance body (2) with a functional surface (16) on the bottom surface and a handle (30) integrated with the functional appliance body (2). The safety device (3) includes a fixing portion (40) attachable to the left and right ends of the functional appliance body (2), and a pair of left and right protection blocks (60, 60) connected to the fixing portion (40) via hinges (50). The pair of left and right protection blocks (60, 60) are provided so as to be selectively arranged in a closed position (P1) in which the functional surface (16) of the functional appliance body (2) is covered and an open position (P2) in which the functional surface (16) is exposed, in a state where the fixing portions (40) are attached to the left and right ends of the functional appliance body (2), and open and close in a double-leaf door manner from the functional surface (16) of the functional appliance body (2).

[0010] According to this aspect, when using the handheld functional appliance (1), by arranging the pair of left and right protection blocks (60, 60) in the open positions (P2, P2) respectively, the functional surface (16) of the functional appliance body (2) can be exposed. Also, when not using the handheld functional appliance (1), by arranging the pair of left and right protection blocks (60, 60) in the closed positions (P1, P1) respectively, the functional surface (16) of the functional appliance body (2) can be covered and made non-exposed. That is, the functional surface (16) can be made non-exposed except during use, and unexpected accidents due to the functional surface (16) can be prevented.

[0011] In another aspect of the present invention, the fixing portion (40) is detachable from the left and right ends of the functional appliance body (2) without tools. According to this aspect, the safety of the functional surface (16) can be ensured without changing the structure of the existing functional appliance body (2).

[0012] In another aspect of the present invention, the fixing portion (40) includes an elastic band (41) that surrounds the side surface of the functional appliance body (2) and can be fastened with an elastic force. According to this aspect, the safety device (3) can be securely fixed to the functional appliance body (2).

[0013] In another aspect of the present invention, the fixing portion (40) has at least a pair of flat cylinders (42A) each having a space (S1) inside which an elastic band (41) can be inserted, and the at least a pair of flat cylinders (42A, 42A) are provided so as to be mirror-symmetrical on both sides of the elastic band (41).

[0014] According to the safety device (3A) of this aspect, since the elastic band (41) is only inserted through the space (S1) of the flat cylinder (42A) and is not integrally fixed to the elastic band (41), the elastic band (41) can expand and contract in its longitudinal direction as a whole. For this reason, the range of application of the safety device (3) to functional instrument bodies (2) of different sizes is also widened.

[0015] In another aspect of the present invention, fixing members (71, 72) for fixing a pair of left and right protection blocks (60, 60) to fixed positions at open positions (P2, P2) and closed positions (P1, P1) respectively are provided.

[0016] According to this aspect, since the pair of left and right protection blocks (60, 60) are fixed to the fixed positions at the open positions (P2, P2), the workability during use is good. Also, since they are fixed to the fixed positions at the closed positions (P1, P1), the safety of the functional surface (16) can be ensured continuously.

[0017] In another aspect of the present invention, the functional surface (16) of the functional instrument body (2) is a magnetically adsorbing surface.

Effects of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, there is provided a safety device for a hand-held functional instrument having a functional instrument body having a functional surface on the bottom surface and a handle integrated with the functional instrument body, which is used for a safety device for a hand-held functional instrument capable of preventing an unexpected accident caused by the functional surface.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification, "magnetic adsorption" may be simply referred to as "magnetic attachment".

[0021] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a magnetic attachment type construction tool 1 provided with a safety device 3 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the main body 2 is detached from the safety device 3 in the construction tool 1. FIG. 3 is a three-view drawing of the main body 2, where (a) is a front sectional view (sectional view taken along line A - A in FIG. 1(b)), (b) is a plan view, and (c) is a side view. FIG. 4 is a three-view drawing of the safety device 3, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a plan view, and (c) is a side view. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the arrangement state of the protection block 60 in the safety device 3, where (a) is a side view when the protection block 60 is in the closed position P1, (b) is a side view when the protection block 60 is in the open position P2, and (c) is a perspective view when the protection block 60 is in the open position P2.

[0022] The magnetic attachment type construction tool 1 has a main body 2 and a safety device 3 as shown in Fig. 1. The main body 2 and the safety device 3 are detachable without using tools as shown in Fig. 2. The construction tool 1 is a tool used when constructing a non-magnetic wall material 6 on a steel frame 4 via a special adhesive 5 as shown in Fig. 6 described later.

[0023] As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the main body 2 includes a casing 10, a pair of permanent magnets 20, 20 disposed inside the casing 10, and a handle 30 provided integrally with the casing 10 at the upper part of the casing 10.

[0024] 〔Casing〕 The casing 10 is a hollow rectangular parallelepiped-shaped box body made of a non-magnetic material such as aluminum or synthetic resin. As shown in Fig. 3, it includes a box-shaped casing body 11 with an open upper part and a lid body 12 that closes the opening of the casing body 11. The lid body 12 is provided with bolt holes 121 penetrating in the thickness direction on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and screw holes 122 at the four corners. The wall thickness of the casing body 11 and the lid body 12 is set to a thickness that allows the magnetic flux of the internal permanent magnet 20 to pass through sufficiently, for example, about 1 to 3 mm.

[0025] 〔Permanent Magnet〕 The permanent magnet 20 is made of a block-type neodymium magnet, has an N pole on one surface and an S pole on the opposite surface, and is provided with a bolt hole 21 penetrating in the thickness direction at the center. The permanent magnets 20 are arranged symmetrically on both sides in the longitudinal direction inside the casing body 11 with a space between them. One permanent magnet 20 is fixedly arranged with the N pole facing the bottom side, and the other permanent magnet 20 is fixedly arranged with the S pole facing the bottom side.

[0026] 〔Handle〕 The handle 30 has two base yokes 31, 31 and a coupling yoke 32. The base yoke 31 is a block-type dense body and is provided with a bolt hole 311 penetrating in the thickness direction at the center. The coupling yoke 32 is a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped dense body and is provided with bolt holes 321, 321 penetrating in the thickness direction on both sides in the longitudinal direction. Both are made of magnetic metal, for example, ferrite-based stainless steel SUS434 or steel. The handle 30 is configured by connecting two base yokes 31, 31 with a connecting yoke 32. Specifically, the connecting yoke 32 is connected in a bridging manner between two base yokes 31, 31 arranged at intervals from each other, and its front view shape is that of the character "U" rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

[0027] For each of the component products shown above, on both the left and right sides, after arranging the permanent magnets 20, the lid 12, the base yokes 31, and the connecting yoke 32 in order from the bottom so that the bolt holes 21, 121, 311, 321 are coaxial, bolts 14 with countersunk heads are inserted through these bolt holes and fastened with nuts 15. Then, the lid 12 is fixed to the casing body 11 with screws 13 inserted into the screw holes 122 of the lid 12 for assembly. The main body 2 assembled in this way has the bottom surface of the casing 10 become a strong magnetic adsorption surface 16 due to the permanent magnets 20, 20 within the casing 10.

[0028] 〔Safety device〕 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the safety device 3 includes a fixing part 40, hinges 50, 50, and protection blocks 60, 60. The hinges 50 and the protection blocks 60 are provided symmetrically on the left and right of the fixing part 40 as shown in FIG. 4(c) when viewed from the side.

[0029] 〔Fixing part〕 As shown in FIG. 4(b), the fixing part 40 includes an elastic band 41 and side plates 42. The elastic band 41 is a ring-shaped rubber band (flexible endless shape), and is sized to surround the four side surfaces of the casing 10 in the main body 2 and be fastened with elastic contraction force. More specifically, it is made of flat rubber with a thickness of about 1 to 3 mm, and the vertical width is slightly shorter than the vertical width of the casing 10. Also, the total length of the entire circumference is slightly shorter than the peripheral length of the casing 10 in a state where it does not stretch and expand against elasticity. The material is silicon rubber, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, etc. Note that a band made of cloth rubber formed in a ring shape may also be used.

[0030] The side plate 42 is a rectangular flexible flat plate made of magnetic metal. Its size is the same as that of the elastic band 41 in the vertical width and the same as the longitudinal length of the casing 10 in the horizontal width. For example, it is made by cutting a sheet-like steel with a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.5 mm into the above shape. The two side plates 42, 42 are fixed on both sides of the elastic band 41 in a mirror-symmetrical manner. That is, the central distance along the elastic band 41 between the center of one side plate 42 of the two side plates 42 and the center of the other side plate 42 is equal on the left and right or up and down of the endless annular elastic band 41. That is, it is equal whether measured clockwise or counterclockwise. The fixing is performed, for example, by adhering one side of the sheet-like steel to the front surface of the elastic band 41 with an adhesive.

[0031] 〔Hinge〕 A hinge 50 is attached to the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the side plate 42. The hinge 50 is composed of, for example, a pair of plastic hinge pieces 51, 51 and an iron core bar 52. Since the pair of hinge pieces 51, 51 are symmetrical to each other, only one of them will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the hinge piece 51 is composed of a flat plate portion 53 and a cylindrical portion 54. The cylindrical portion 54 protrudes from the surface side of one end portion of the flat plate portion 53 and is integrally formed with the flat plate portion 53, and is a portion through which the core bar 52 can be inserted through each of the pair of hinge pieces 51, 51 in a coaxial state. With such a configuration, as a single hinge 50, one hinge piece 51 can rotate relative to the other hinge piece 51 by 360 degrees around the core bar 52. That is, the angle φ formed between one hinge piece 51 and the other hinge piece 51 is 0 to 360 degrees.

[0032] 〔Protection Block〕 The protection block 60 is a member that covers the magnetic attachment surface 16 of the main body 2 when the main body 2 is not in use to prevent the danger caused by the magnetic force emitted from the magnetic attachment surface 16, and is composed of a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped dense body made of a non-magnetic material. The material is preferably lightweight and soft, such as polyurethane, polystyrene, synthetic rubber, etc., and a foamed material may also be used.

[0033] The protection block 60 and the side plate 42 are connected by a hinge 50 in the following form (see Fig. 4(c)). That is, among a pair of hinge pieces 51, 51, one hinge piece 51 is fixed to the side plate 42 through an adhesive on the back surface of the hinge piece 51 at the central position in the longitudinal direction of the side plate 42. The other hinge piece 51 is fixed to the side surface 62 of the protection block 60 through an adhesive on the back surface of the hinge piece 51 at the central position in the longitudinal direction of the protection block 60. More specifically, the surface of the side plate 42 in the fixing portion 40 opened in a rectangular shape corresponding to the magnetic attachment surface 16 of the main body 2 and the side surface 62 of the protection block 60 are connected to the hinge 50 with the angle φ being 180 degrees in a state where they are substantially flush.

[0034] With such a configuration, the protection block 60 can be rotated 180 degrees relative to the side plate 42 about the mandrel 52 of the hinge 50 (see Fig. 5(b)). That is, the protection blocks 60, 60 are pivotally supported so as to be rotatable about the axis of the mandrel 52 by the hinges 50, 50 provided at the left and right ends of the main body 2 when the fixing portion 40 is attached to the main body 2, and the magnetic attachment surface 16 of the main body 2 can be selectively switched between the following covered state and exposed state and arranged.

[0035] In this specification, with the left and right protection blocks 60, 60 being directly below the fixing portion 40 as a reference, the state where the left and right protection blocks 60, 60 are rotated 180 degrees in the clockwise direction (rotation angle θ = -180 degrees) and 180 degrees in the counterclockwise direction (rotation angle θ = 180 degrees) respectively is defined as the "open position P2" (see Fig. 5(b)), and the state where the protection blocks 60, 60 are not rotated (rotation angle θ = 0 degrees) is defined as the "closed position P1" (see Fig. 5(a)). In the open position P2, the magnetized surface 16 of the main body 2 is in an exposed state when the fixing portion 40 is attached to the main body 2, and in the closed position P1, the magnetized surface 16 is in a covered state.

[0036] The area of the upper surface 61 of the protection block 60 preferably has a size that can cover at least 90% of the magnetic attachment surface 16 of the main body 2 as the total area of the two protection blocks 60, 60 when the fixing part 40 is attached to the main body 2 and in the closed position P1. This is to improve the stability when the construction tool 1 is placed on, for example, a horizontal plane, and to prevent magnetic components and the like from entering through the gap 63 (see Fig. 4(c)) between the two protection blocks 60, 60 and being adsorbed to the magnetic attachment surface 16. Also, by using a soft material, the impact when attracted by an unintended magnetic body can be alleviated.

[0037] 〔Magnetic sheet piece〕 Magnetic sheet pieces 71, 71 are attached at a certain distance on both sides of the hinges 50, 50 provided at the centers of the side surfaces 62, 62 of the protection blocks 60, 60. These magnetic sheet pieces 71, 71 are for magnetically attaching to the side plates 42, 42 when the protection blocks 60, 60 are in the open position P2. Furthermore, magnetic sheet pieces 72, 72 are attached to both longitudinal side portions of the upper surfaces 61, 61 of the protection blocks 60, 60. These magnetic sheet pieces 72, 72 are for magnetically attaching to the magnetic attachment surface 16 of the main body 2 when the protection blocks 60, 60 are in the closed positions P1, P1 and the fixing part 40 is attached to the main body 2.

[0038] Next, the usage method of the magnetic attachment type construction tool 1 will be described. Fig. 6 is a perspective view for explaining the usage method of the construction tool 1, and Fig. 7 is a side cross-sectional view showing the magnetic circuit formed between the construction tool 1 and the steel frame 4.

[0039] The operation described below is specifically an operation of attaching a gypsum board 6 as a non-magnetic body to a steel frame 4 as a base steel material using a special adhesive 5. This special adhesive 5 is an adhesive having the property of increasing the adhesive strength in a short time by applying a predetermined pressing force, and here it is of a double-sided adhesive tape type.

[0040] First, as shown in Fig. 6(a), a gypsum board 6 is overlaid on a steel frame 4 with a special adhesive 5 attached to its surface. As a result, the gypsum board 6 adheres tightly to the special adhesive 5, and as shown in Fig. 6(b), the gypsum board 6 is in a temporarily fixed state to the steel frame 4.

[0041] In this temporarily fixed state, a construction tool 1 is prepared. When the construction tool 1 is stored in a dedicated case or the like, since the protection block 60 is in the closed position P1, it is set to the open position P2 (see Fig. 5(c)). In the open position P2, the magnet sheet pieces 71, 71 are magnetically attached to the side plates 42, 42, and the protection blocks 60, 60 are fixed in a fixed position. Then, as shown in Fig. 6(c), the magnetic attachment surface 16 of the construction tool 1 is brought close to the gypsum board 6 and placed on the portion of the surface of the gypsum board 6 where the steel frame 4 exists. At this time, as shown in Fig. 7, one permanent magnet 20, one base yoke 31, a coupling yoke 32, the other base yoke 31, the other permanent magnet 20 of the construction tool 1, and the steel frame 4 form a magnetic circuit through which a magnetic flux MF with a high magnetic flux density passes. It is a magnetic circuit with the thickness of the gypsum board 6 as an air gap. As a result, the construction tool 1 is magnetically adsorbed to the steel frame 4 with a large force, and it becomes possible to press the gypsum board 6 against the steel frame 4 with a strong pressing force.

[0042] In this state, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 6(c), by moving the construction tool 1 downward, the area where the construction tool 1 presses the gypsum board 6 against the steel frame 4 moves along the steel frame 4.

[0043] As a result, the portion of the gypsum board 6 facing the steel frame 4 via the special adhesive 5 is pressed with a uniform strong pressing force, and the gypsum board 6 is firmly attached to one steel frame 4 by the special adhesive 5.

[0044] After that, the operation of pressing the gypsum board 6 is similarly performed on the steel frame 4 located next to the steel frame 4 to which the gypsum board 6 is firmly attached. By repeating such operations, the gypsum board 6 is attached to the steel frame 4.

[0045] After completing a series of operations, the protective blocks 60, 60 are returned to a dedicated case or the like with the closed positions P1, P1. In the closed positions P1, P1, the magnet sheet pieces 72, 72 are magnetically attached to the magnetic attachment surface 16, and the protective blocks 60, 60 are fixed in a fixed position.

[0046] In this way, with the construction tool 1, when pressing the gypsum board 6 against the steel frame 4, even if the distance to the steel frame 4 is long, a large pressing force can be generated by the magnetic force. Further, when the construction tool 1 is not in use, by arranging the two protective blocks 60, 60 in the closed positions P1, P1, the magnetic attachment surface 16 is in a covered state, and only when the construction tool 1 is used, by arranging the two protective blocks 60, 60 in the open positions P2, P2, the magnetic attachment surface 16 can be exposed, so that an unexpected accident due to the magnetic attachment surface 16 can be prevented.

[0047] In the case of the pair of left and right protective blocks 60, in the open position P2, the magnet sheet pieces 71, 71 are magnetically attached to the side plates 42, 42 and thus fixed in a fixed position, so the workability is good. Further, in the closed position P1, the magnet sheet pieces 72, 72 are magnetically attached to the magnetic attachment surface 16 and thus fixed in a fixed position, so the safety of the functional surface 16 can be continuously ensured.

[0048] Further, according to the construction tool 1, the main body 2 and the safety device 3 are detachable without using tools, so the safety of the functional surface 16 can be ensured without changing the structure of the existing main body 2. Also, since the elastic band 41 is used, it can be securely fixed to the casing 10 of the main body 2. Since the elastic band 41 is stretchable, it can also be applied to casings 10 of different sizes. It should be noted that it is also possible to integrally fix the safety device 3 to the side surface of the casing main body 11 by screws or the like without making it detachable.

[0049] 〔Safety device of the first modification〕 FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the safety device 3A of the first modification. In the safety device 3A of the first modification, instead of the side plate 42 in the safety device 3, it has a flat cylinder 42A. Other configurations are the same as those of the safety device 3. The flat cylinder 42A is a rectangular body made of a magnetic metal like the side plate 42, but has a space S1 inside through which the elastic band 41 can be inserted. The elastic band 41 is inserted through this space S1.

[0050] As the flat cylinder 42A, for example, a wide side plate having a longitudinal width more than twice that of the side plate 42 is folded in half along a center line parallel to its longitudinal direction and attached in a form that can hold the elastic band 41 inserted, and an open end opposite to the fold is sealed with an adhesive. Such a flat cylinder 42A can be used. In the safety device 3, the side plate 42 is adhesively fixed in the middle of the elastic band 41. At the portion where the side plate 42 is fixed, the elastic band 41 cannot expand or contract in its longitudinal direction. However, in the safety device 3A, since the elastic band 41 passes through the space S1 of the flat cylinder 42A and is not integrally fixed, the elastic band 41 can expand and contract in its longitudinal direction as a whole. Therefore, the range of application to casings of different sizes is also widened for the safety device 3.

[0051] 〔Safety device of the second modification〕 FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the safety device 3B of the second modification, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state where the safety device 3B of the second modification is attached to the main body 2. In the safety device 3B of the second modification, the fixing portion 40 does not have the elastic band 41 compared to the safety device 3. Since the side surface of the casing 10 has a strong magnetic attraction force due to the internal permanent magnet 20, the side plate 42 is magnetically attached directly to the side surface of the casing 10. The safety device 3B of the second modification has a form having two separate and independent bodies, but the number of components is reduced by the amount of the elastic band 41 not being present.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments disclosed above are merely examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The scope of the present invention is shown by the description in the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims. That is, the structure, shape, material, number, mounting position, application, etc. of all or part of the safety devices 3, 3A, and 3B can be appropriately changed in accordance with the gist of the present invention. For example, although the side plate 42 is made of sheet steel, it may be a magnetic sheet. Also, in the above-described embodiment, a magnetic attachment type safety device for a construction tool with a magnetic attachment surface as a functional surface was shown, but it may be applied to, for example, an iron whose functional surface generates high heat. In this case, it is preferable that the protection block is made of a material with excellent heat resistance, such as ceramic.
