Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] To provide a thread locking device for thread wound on a thread spool for handicrafts or a fishing spool, which prevents the thread wound on the thread spool from unwinding due to repulsive force, makes it easy to take in and out the thread, and prevents the thread from unwinding and getting tangled in surrounding objects. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, thread spools for handicrafts had thread-retaining notches on their outer wall, which clamped and secured the ends of the thread. The positions of the notches on the spools were fixed, and the length of the thread that protruded from the notches varied depending on the length of the cut thread. This created problems, such as the thread that protruded from the notches being too short and easily coming off, or the thread that protruded too long and easily getting tangled with surrounding objects. In addition, the strong resilience of the threads makes them easy to come off the slits, and there were many cases where the threads came off the slits, became unwound, and became tangled.

[0004] [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2001-204312 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The belt 2008-086221 is designed to hold the fishing line on a fishing spool so that it doesn't come undone, and it covers a wide area of ​​the spool to prevent the line from coming undone. Because its purpose is to tightly fasten the belt to the spool, it is tightened using flexible and stretchable materials such as strips of chloroprene rubber or synthetic resins like urethane to adjust the size, so the belt must be removed when using the fishing line.

[0006] In 2001-204312, the ends of threads are wound around a belt and passed through a hole at the inner end, making them easy to find and store, but the belt must be removed each time to secure the ends.

[0007] In the case of threads for needlework (such as fishing line or wire), it was necessary to avoid bending or damaging the part that was caught in the slit of the cover. In order to prevent unwinding, the end of the thread is attached to the outside wall of the spool with masking tape or the spool is placed in a plastic bag that is the exact size to fit the thread, but every time the thread is used, it is necessary to tape it down or place it in a plastic bag that is the exact size to fit the spool and is difficult to put in and take out to prevent the thread from unwinding from the spool. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The belt is wound around the cylindrical portion of a spool around which wire, thread, or the like is wound; a detachable mechanism that is detachably attached to the front and back of the belt when the belt is wound around the spool; a handle that is attached to the outer end of the belt and does not join the front and back; and a threading hole that is provided in the middle of the belt.

[0009] The present invention is characterized in that at least one opening of the threading hole is provided with an abrasion protection portion for preventing abrasion.

[0010] As a means for visually recognizing the location of the thread pulled out from the belt body, a part of a different color from the belt body is attached, or the area around the threading hole is colored to clearly indicate the threading hole.

[0011] The belt is made of a smooth material such as nylon or polyester. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The present invention is in the form of a winding belt, and the belt can be adjusted and fastened using hook-and-loop fasteners or fasteners to fit the size of the spool or spool. Fasteners include not only hook-and-loop fasteners but also a combination of a weakly adhesive adhesive portion and a release sheet, as well as other commonly used methods. This allows the belt to be wound to fit the size of the spool or spool. When the belt body is wound around the wearer, the outer end portion serves as a handle, making it easy to fasten and remove the belt body. When storing the spool, leave about 2 cm of thread exposed from the thread hole, and wrap the belt body tightly around the spool. This prevents the thread from coming loose from the spool without damaging the end of the thread by pinching it in the thread-stopping notch. Furthermore, since the threads are exposed from the threading holes, the exposed threads can be easily pinched and manipulated during use.

[0013] By providing an abrasion protection portion at the opening of the threading hole to prevent abrasion with the thread, deterioration of the belt body near the opening can be prevented, allowing the belt to be used for a long period of time.

[0014] The threading holes on the belt are small holes for threading threads, so it is difficult to find the openings and the transparent threads, such as fishing line, that come out of them. Therefore, to clearly identify the openings, the parts and the area around the openings are painted in a visible color that contrasts with the belt. By providing a visual recognition means, the threading holes and threads can be easily found during use, improving work efficiency.

[0015] The belt is made of a smooth material such as nylon or polyester, so when using it, just by pulling the thread with a little force, the belt rotates and the thread is pulled out, making it extremely easy to use. After use, the thread can be easily rewound. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention is based on a concept of action common to both thread spools for handicrafts and fishing spools, and in this explanation, the thread spool for handicrafts will be used as a substitute for these. A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a six-view diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1(A) is a plan view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1(B) is a front view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1(C) is a bottom view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1(D) is a back view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1(E) is a left side view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1(F) is a right side view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an AA cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the use state of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the first embodiment in use, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the belt body of the first embodiment of the present invention in use, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention in use when unwinding or winding a yarn.

[0018] The structure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The bobbin thread holder 1 is composed of a belt body 2, detachable hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and 5b provided on the front and back surfaces of the belt body 2, a handle portion 6 provided at one end of the belt body 2, and a threading hole 3 provided through the belt body at a central position. The belt 2 is made of a flexible material and is sized to fit within the space between the left and right outer wall portions 8 of the spool 7. The belt 2 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener 5a on its front surface and a hook-and-loop fastener 5b on its back surface. The hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and 5b can be any type that can be attached and detached at any contact point between them, and examples of hook-and-loop fasteners include standard, free, and snap-on types. As shown in Figure 1(A), the hook-and-loop fastener 5a is located on the front surface of the belt 2, extending from the right end toward the opposite end of the belt 2, leaving a distance that would allow the fastener to be pinched with the fingers. Similarly, the hook-and-loop fastener 5b is located on the back surface, symmetrically across the belt 2. This results in a handle portion 6 consisting of only the belt 2, with no hook-and-loop fastener 5 on the front or back of the left end of the belt 2. The threading hole 3 is provided to penetrate vertically through the belt body 2 and the front and back surface fasteners 5 as shown in Figure 2. It is located in the center of the short width, on the handle part 6 side, as shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(C). In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the opening of the threading hole 3 in the belt body 2 is provided with a wear protector 4 to protect the hole. In addition, the openings of the threading holes 3 of the belt body 2 are small enough for the thread to pass through, and the thread 11 protruding from the openings can be easily identified by using a wear protector 4 of a different color from the color of the belt surface or by visually distinguishing it by coloring, thereby improving work efficiency. The abrasion protector 4 may be in a striking color such as sequins. In this embodiment, the wear protector 4 is provided only on the upper surface of the belt body 2, but it may also be provided on the upper and lower surfaces so as to protect the threading holes 3.

[0019] Next, how to use the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the description will be given using a spool 7 having outer wall portions 8 on both the left and right sides of a cylindrical portion 9. The initial setup is as follows. As with normal thread, thread 11 is wound around spool 7 and then threaded through threading hole 3 as shown in Figure 4. Next, as shown in Figure 5A, belt 2 is used to wrap thread 11 around cylindrical portion 9 from above. In this state, belt 2 is secured with top and bottom hook-and-loop fasteners 5a and 5b. At this time, handle 6 is positioned above belt 2, and belt 2 is wound in the same direction as the thread is wound. By fastening the belt a little loosely, the smooth belt material slides over the spool, allowing for smooth unwinding and rewinding of the thread. Here, unlike the conventional thread stopper notch 10 fixed to the thread spool 8, the required length of thread 11 can be pulled out by using the threading hole 3 of the belt body 2 which rotates and moves its position. Next, the procedure for taking out and rewinding the thread 11 from the spool from this state will be explained with reference to FIG. To use it, hold the outer wall 8 of the spool 7 as shown in Figure 6a and pull the tip of the thread 11 upward (20). This pulls up the thread 11 and pulls it out, causing the belt body 2 to rotate to the right (21) due to the force of the thread 11. At this time, the thread 11, which is lightly wound around the belt body 2, can be pulled out by the required length as shown in Figure 6b. After pulling out and using the required amount of thread 11, grasp the outer wall 8 and pull the handle 6 to the left (21), as shown in Figure 6c. This causes the belt body 2 to rotate left (21) to wind the thread 11 onto the spool 7, as shown in Figure 6c, and the thread 11 is wound onto the spool 7 (20). In other words, when you pull up the thread 11, the belt body 2 rotates right and pulls out the thread 11, and when you hold the handle 6 and rotate the belt body 2 left, the thread 11 is wound onto the cylindrical part of the spool. At this time, the belt body 2 is wound with a hook-and-loop fastener so that it does not slip off. By using a smooth belt material in the space where the belt body 2 is wound with a slack, friction is reduced when pulling out or rewinding the thread 11, making it easier to move.

[0020] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, a handle 6 that can be held with the fingers is made of a non-adhesive material and is provided at the upper left end of the belt body 2. A hook-and-loop fastener 5 is provided on the top surface of the belt body 2. Also, like the first embodiment, a threading hole 3 and a wear protector 4 are provided. In this embodiment, the underside of the belt body 2 is configured to be detachable from the hook-and-loop fastener 5. Therefore, the belt body 2 itself serves as the detachable hook-and-loop fastener, and can be used in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

[0021] Another embodiment is one in which no protective member is used at the opening, and only the threading hole 3 is used, as shown in Figure 8. Although the protective function is reduced, the usage is the same as the previous embodiments. Also, the absence of a protective member means that the thickness is not increased, which has the advantage of making the operation smoother and easier to handle.

[0022] Although the above embodiments have been described as being for handicrafts, the present invention is not limited to this and also covers devices based on the same or similar principles. [Explanation of symbols]
