[0004] The remote control hanger is attached by adhesive or bonding, which has the advantages of being easy to install, leaving no holes in the wall, and being able to be attached to glass or steel surfaces.

[0005] However, the remote control hook described above requires a greater force than expected to remove the object from the base, which can be difficult for users. Furthermore, the hook-and-loop fastener can peel off from the base, or the base can become deformed due to the hook-and-loop fastener pulling on it. If the hook-and-loop fastener is damaged due to repeated peeling or deformation, it becomes difficult to continue using the device, and replacing it with a new one is costly.

[0006] The present invention is intended to solve at least one of the above problems, and aims to provide a wall hanging device that can be used more easily by adjusting the adhesive force between hook-and-loop fasteners, as well as a method for manufacturing the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The deformation element may be fixed on the first base.

[0009] The separating portion may have a height smaller than that of the first engaging element group.

[0010] The surface portion may include a through hole larger than an outer periphery of the first engaging element group, and the surface portion may be disposed on the separated portion such that the first engaging element group protrudes from the through hole.

[0012] One aspect of the present invention for solving the above problem is a manufacturing method for a wall hanger to be attached to a wall surface, for removably fixing an object to a wall surface, the manufacturing method comprising the steps of: preparing a first hook-and-loop fastener material having a first base portion having a plurality of first engaging elements that can engage with second engaging elements of a second hook-and-loop fastener to be attached to the object; and deforming a first engaging element that does not constitute a first engaging element group to form a separated portion that cannot engage with the second engaging element group, so that a plurality of first engaging element groups consisting of a plurality of the first engaging elements are formed on the first base portion, spaced apart in an island or stripe pattern, the first engaging element being one of the first engaging element groups.

[0013] The first engaging elements that do not constitute the first engaging element group may be solidified on the first base portion by applying heat and / or pressure to form the separating portion.

[0014] The separating portion may be formed lower than the first engaging element group.

[0015] A surface material may be prepared, and a through hole larger than the outer periphery of the first engaging element group may be formed in the surface material, to form a surface portion to be placed in the separated portion so that the first engaging element group protrudes from the through hole. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that components common to the following embodiments will be assigned the same reference numerals as those previously mentioned, and their description may be omitted. Furthermore, when referring to the shape, positional relationship, etc. of components, etc., it is understood that the reference numerals include those that are substantially similar or similar to the shape, etc., unless otherwise specified or when it is clearly considered otherwise in principle.

[0020] <Embodiment 1> 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a wall hanging device of embodiment 1, in which (a) shows a state in which the second hook-and-loop fastener 3 is attached to an object O, (b) shows a state in which the object O is fixed to a wall W (hooked state), (c) is a schematic diagram of the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 observed from the side, and (d) is an enlarged view of a portion of (c). For ease of explanation, in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b), the first engaging element group 21 and the second engaging element group 31 are shown solid, and the separation portion 22 is shown shaded (the same applies to Figs. 2 and 6 below).

[0021] The wall hanger of this embodiment is a tool for detachably fixing an object O, such as a remote control, to the surface of a wall-like object (hereinafter also referred to as a "wall"), typically the surface of a wall of a building. In the following description, an example of the object O being a remote control will be described, but the wall hanger may be used for other objects as long as it does not contradict the spirit of the present invention.

[0022] The wall hanging device of this embodiment includes a hanging device including a base 1 and a first hook-and-loop fastener 2 that is attached to the wall W side, and a second hook-and-loop fastener 3 that is attached to the object O side. In the following explanation, unless otherwise specified, the side of the hanging device that is attached to the wall surface will be referred to as the back side and the opposite side as the front side, and the side of the second hook-and-loop fastener 3 that is attached to the object will be referred to as the back side and the opposite side as the front side.

[0023] As an example, the base 1 is attached to a wall surface W. The base 1 includes, for example, a main body portion 11 that is attached to the wall surface W and a grip portion 12 that is not attached to the wall surface W. The main body portion 11 and the grip portion 12 have a common base layer 101. The base layer 101 is made of a thin plate-like material and preferably has a thickness of 5 mm or less. The main body portion 11 further has a backing layer (not shown) provided on the back side of the base layer 101. The backing layer is used to attach the fastener to the wall surface and is formed, for example, by applying an adhesive (material) or glue (material) to the entire back surface of the base layer 101 of the main body portion 11. The grip portion 12 does not have a backing layer. The grip portion 12 may have a backing layer on the back side of the base layer 101, similar to the main body portion 11, in which case it further has a release sheet covering the backing layer. The fastener of this embodiment is provided with the grip portion 12, so that after it has been attached to the wall W, when it is no longer in use, it can be removed by pinching the grip portion 12 with the fingers.

[0024] The first hook-and-loop fastener 2 is installed on the front side of the base 1. As an example, the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 is installed by applying an adhesive (material) or pressure-sensitive adhesive (material) to the back side of the first base 20 and adhering it to the surface of the base material layer 101 of the base 1. As an example, the base 1 may have a surface adhesive layer on the front side of the base material layer 101, and the back side of the first base 20 of the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 may be adhered to the base 1 by this surface adhesive layer.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 1(c), the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 has a first engaging element group 21 made up of a plurality of first engaging elements p erected on a first base 20. The first engaging elements p are, for example, hooks as shown in the illustrated example. The first engaging elements p may be loops or may have other configurations as long as they are mutually engageable with second engaging elements described below.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1(b), the second hook-and-loop fastener 3 has a second engaging element group 31 consisting of a plurality of second engaging elements provided on the second base 30. As an example, the second engaging elements are loops corresponding to the first engaging elements p. The second engaging elements may be hooks or may have other configurations as long as they are mutually engageable with the first engaging elements p. The second hook-and-loop fastener 3 is attached by, for example, applying an adhesive (material) or pressure-sensitive adhesive (material) (not shown) to the back surface of the second base 30 and adhering it to the object O.

[0027] 1(b), more specifically, the first surface fastener 2 comprises a first base portion 20 that is installed on the base 1 as described above, and comprises, on the first base portion 20, a plurality of first engaging element groups 21 that can engage with the second engaging element group 31, and one separation portion 22 that cannot engage with the second engaging element group 31. The number of first engaging element groups 21 is not particularly limited as long as it is two or more.

[0028] The separating portions 22 separate the plurality of first engaging element groups 21 in an island or stripe pattern. The separating portions 22 have a height (projection length from the first base portion 20) lower (shorter) than the first engaging element groups 21, and do not prevent the first engaging element groups 21 and the second engaging element groups 31 from contacting and engaging with each other.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 1(c), the separation portion 22 is formed by deformed elements p1, which are first engaging elements that have been deformed so that the first engaging element groups 21 are separated from one another in an island or stripe pattern. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 1(d), the first engaging elements p that constitute the first engaging element group 21 and have a protrusion length H have a base end p01 that has a protrusion length H1 and is erected on the first base portion 20, and a tip end p02 (a hook-shaped tip end in this example) that is continuous with the base end p01 and engages with the second engaging element. On the other hand, the deformed elements p1 that constitute the separation portion 22 have lost the original shape of one or both of the base end p01 and the tip end p02, and have therefore lost their ability to engage with the second engaging element (the engaging function has been removed).

[0030] In the illustrated example, the deformation element p1 is deformed to the extent that the base end and the tip end cannot be distinguished, solidifies on the first base portion 20, loses the protrusion length H1, and loses its engagement function with the second engaging element. In other words, the protrusion length of the deformation element p1 in this example is equal to or less than the protrusion length (H-H1) of the tip end p02 of the first engaging element p. Such deformation can occur, for example, by melting the first engaging element p by heating, by crushing the first engaging element p by applying pressure, or by both.

[0031] Although not shown, as an example, the deformation element p1 may be one whose function of engaging with the second engaging element is removed by deformation that causes the tip portion p02 to be lost (for example, by cutting off the tip portion p02).

[0032] When using the wall hanging device of this embodiment, the second hook-and-loop fastener 3 is attached to the object O, the base 1 is attached to the wall W, and the second hook-and-loop fastener 3 and the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 are engaged with each other, thereby removably fixing the object O to the wall W. To remove the object O, simply peel the object O off the hanging device on the wall W.

[0033] As mentioned above, conventional remote control hangers require a greater-than-expected peeling force when removing the object O, which can be difficult for the user. In contrast, in the wall hanger of this embodiment, the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 has separation portions 22 and the plurality of first engaging element groups 21 are spaced apart, so there are parts that adhere (engage) and parts that do not adhere between the hook-and-loop fasteners, and the adhesive force between the hook-and-loop fasteners is adjusted, making it easier to peel off the object O. In addition, adjusting the adhesive force also prevents the base 1 from being pulled, stretched, and deformed.

[0034] The first hook-and-loop fastener 2 has a plurality of first engaging element groups 21 divided into at least two upper and lower stages sandwiched between separation portions 22. This allows the object O to be peeled off step by step, one stage at a time, when removed, and reduces only the force required for operation without reducing the adhesive force during fastening.

[0035] In other words, when the first engagement element group 21 of the wall hanging device is divided into two or more stages, it has a non-attached portion (separation portion 22) between the upper and lower attachment surfaces, and in the peeling operation, the object O can be peeled off in stages by rotating it diagonally upward from the bottom end or diagonally downward from the top end, as shown by arrow E in Figure 1(b).

[0036] As an example, the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 are separated into stripes. The first engagement element groups 21 may be formed diagonally while maintaining parallelism with each other. In this case, the object O may be fixed diagonally so as to intersect with the fastener.

[0037] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the fastener of the first embodiment, where (a) is a front view of the fastener observed from the front side, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in (a).

[0038] From the viewpoint of effectively reducing adhesive force, the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 (hereinafter also referred to as "first engagement element group units") are more preferably divided into three to six vertical rows. More preferably, as in the illustrated example, the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 are distributed in an island-like manner on the first base 20, with two or more first engagement element groups 21 formed in two or more rows, with two or more first engagement element groups 21 per row (scattered on the first base 20). The first engagement element groups 21 may have a rounded shape (such as a substantially perfect circle or ellipse), a polygonal shape, or another shape. As an example, the first engagement element group 21 has a diameter of approximately 3 mm to 7 mm, e.g., 5 mm.

[0039] In the illustrated example, the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 has first engaging element groups 21 of 2 elements per row×5 rows (10 elements in total) formed at intervals from each other, occupying a rectangular installation area U. The area of ​​the installation area U is preferably 2 / 3 or less of the area of ​​the backing adhesive layer of the main body 11. In the present application, the installation area U is a rectangular area that linearly surrounds the first engaging element groups 21 at the top, bottom, left, and right ends.

[0040] From the viewpoint of appropriately reducing the adhesive force between the first surface fastener 2 and the second surface fastener 3, the total area of ​​the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 is preferably 2 / 3 or less, and more preferably 1 / 2 or less, of the area of ​​the installation area U. From the viewpoint of fixing the object O without dropping off, the lower limit of the total area of ​​the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 is preferably 1 / 4 or more of the area of ​​the installation area U. In the illustrated example, the first engagement element groups 21 are arranged at intervals approximately equal to their own diameters, and the total area of ​​the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 is approximately 3 / 10 of the area of ​​the installation area U. In this embodiment, the installation area U is partitioned by the separating portions 22, and the arrangement of the plurality of first engagement element groups 21 is determined.

[0041] As a means for solving the problems of the prior art, for example, a first hook-and-loop fastener material for forming the first hook-and-loop fastener may be cut into a plurality of first hook-and-loop fasteners, and the first base portions of each of the cut first hook-and-loop fasteners may be used to attach the first hook-and-loop fasteners to a base in an island-like manner to form a first hook-and-loop fastener unit. In this case, although the adhesive force between the first and second hook-and-loop fasteners can be reduced, there is a risk that the peripheral portions of the first base portions of each island (each first hook-and-loop fastener) of the first hook-and-loop fastener unit may curl up, allowing dust to get in and gradually causing the first hook-and-loop fasteners to peel off. In particular, when there are a large number of islands, the proportion of the peripheral portions is relatively large, making the impact greater.

[0042] In contrast, the fastener of this embodiment does not cut the first hook-and-loop fastener material into multiple pieces and attach them in the shape of islands, so the peripheral edge of the first base of each island does not turn up. In other words, the fastener of this embodiment has each first engaging element group 21 composed only of first engaging elements p, and does not cut the first base 20, so it can avoid the problems associated with the above-mentioned solution.

[0043] Furthermore, the fastener of this embodiment can be manufactured more inexpensively and with less effort because the plurality of first engaging element groups 21 can be formed on the first base portion 20 simultaneously with the separating portion 22. An example of a manufacturing method will now be described.

[0044] <Manufacturing method> Figures 3 to 5 are diagrams for explaining an example of a manufacturing method for the fastener of embodiment 1, with Figure 3 being a diagram for explaining the process relating to the base 1, Figure 4 being a diagram for explaining the process relating to the first surface fastener 2, and Figure 5 being a diagram for explaining the assembly process. For ease of explanation, the heating mold F is outlined by hatched lines in Figure 4.

[0045] The manufacturing method of the wall hanger of this embodiment includes the illustrated steps related to the hanger, and further includes a step related to the second hook-and-loop fastener 3 (not shown). The second hook-and-loop fastener 3 is formed, for example, by preparing a second hook-and-loop fastener material for forming it and then performing a cutting process or the like to cut the periphery (edge) so as to form one second engaging element group 31 having a predetermined area. The second engaging element group 31 has an area equal to or larger than the installation area U, for example.

[0046] In the process for forming the base 1, for example, a double-sided tape material having a certain thickness, a predetermined strength, and flexibility is prepared for forming the base 1. The double-sided tape material has a base layer 101 and a back adhesive layer and a front adhesive layer (not shown), and the back adhesive layer and the front adhesive layer are each covered with a release sheet (not shown). For example, the double-sided tape material is cut to have a width M of approximately 16 to 26 mm (e.g., 22 mm), a length N1 of the main body 11 of approximately 52 to 70 mm (e.g., 60 mm), and a length N2 of the grip portion 12 of approximately 6 to 14 mm (e.g., 10 mm), thereby forming the base 1 as shown in FIG. 3. As shown in the figure, an arrow may be displayed on the grip portion 12 to indicate the operating direction when removing it from the wall surface W.

[0047] 4, in the process relating to the first hook-and-loop fastener 2, a first hook-and-loop fastener material P is prepared, which has a plurality of first engaging elements p on a first base 20 that can engage with the second engaging elements of the second hook-and-loop fastener 3. The first hook-and-loop fastener material P is prepared by cutting a commercially available resin or similar material (such as a first base and first engaging elements integrally molded together, or a woven first base with first engaging elements fixed to it) so that the width and length are approximately the same as the width M and length N1 of the main body 11 of the base 1. The first hook-and-loop fastener material P may be prepared so that it is longer or wider than the main body 11, and after forming the separation portion 22, it may be cut or similarly made so that it is approximately the same as the main body 11.

[0048] For example, a heating device, such as a high-frequency induction heating device, is used to form the plurality of first engaging element groups 21 and one separation portion 22. The heating device has a heating mold (hot press mold) F as shown in the figure. The mold F is made of metal (e.g., copper). The mold F is formed according to the plurality of first engaging element groups 21 to be formed, and a plate (block) F1 is provided with bottomed or bottomless element group holes F2, each having an inner periphery corresponding in size to the outer periphery of the first engaging element groups 21, the number of which is the same as the number of first engaging element groups 21. The depth of each element group hole F2 is, for example, three times or more the protruding length of the first engaging elements p. The diameter F3 of each element group hole F2 is approximately equal to the diameter of the first engaging element group 21, for example, 5 mm. The spacing between the element group holes F2 is, for example, 5 mm, which is approximately the same as the spacing between the first engaging element groups 21. The mold F is connected to a drive unit (not shown) using a connection part F4.

[0049] 4, a mold F is heated facing the front side of the first hook-and-loop fastener material P, and the front side is pressed with the mold F so that the first engaging elements p that do not constitute the first engaging element group 21 melt, melting these first engaging elements p, which are then cooled and solidified on the first base portion 20. In other words, here, a plurality of first engaging element groups 21 with engaging function are formed, leaving the first engaging elements p in areas corresponding to the element group holes F2, and the first engaging elements p in other areas are baked and solidified to form one separation portion 22. As shown in the figure, the separation portion 22 is lower than the first engaging element groups 21 and is generally flat so as not to interfere with contact and engagement between each first engaging element group 21 and the second engaging element group 31.

[0050] In this way, the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 can be manufactured more inexpensively by simultaneously forming a plurality of first engaging element groups 21 and one separation portion 22. Hook-and-loop fasteners are known to be susceptible to heat, but in this example, for example, by using a high-frequency induction heating device, the first engaging elements p in the area corresponding to the separation portion 22 can be instantaneously heated in units of seconds, and a plurality of first engaging element groups 21 that retain their engaging function can be simultaneously formed in a short time. Note that the heating device may have any configuration as long as it can bake and harden the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 except for the area that retains its engaging function.

[0051] In the process of assembling the fastener, the release sheet covering the surface adhesive layer of the main body 11 of the base 1 is removed, and the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 is aligned with the main body 11 as shown in Figure 5, and the back surface of the first base 20 is attached to the surface of the main body 11 using the surface adhesive layer. Note that the release sheet in the gripping portion 12 is not removed.

[0052] <Embodiment 2> 6A and 6B are schematic diagrams showing an example of a hanging device according to embodiment 2, where (a) is a front view of the hanging device as viewed from the front side, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in (a). The wall hanging device of this embodiment differs from embodiment 1 above mainly in that the hanging device includes a front portion 4. Below, we will omit a description of the commonalities as appropriate and focus on the differences.

[0053] The fastener of this embodiment includes a front portion 4 having through holes 41 in the same number as the first engagement element groups 21. The front portion 4 is installed on the front side of the separation portion 22 so that each first engagement element group 21 protrudes from the corresponding through hole 41. The front portion 4 is installed by, for example, applying an adhesive (material) or pressure-sensitive adhesive (material) to the back surface and adhering it to the surface of the separation portion 22.

[0054] The front part 4 is made of a sheet-like material that will not peel off from the separation part 22 under normal use, for example, wallpaper, for example, wallpaper with an adhesive layer on the back. By using wallpaper for the front part 4, the pattern and color can be matched with the wall surface to which the hanging device is attached, improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0055] The through hole 41 is preferably formed to be larger than the outer periphery of the first engaging element group 21. The through hole 41 has, for example, an inner periphery that is the same shape as the outer periphery of the first engaging element group 21, and in this example, is circular like the first engaging element group 21. The through hole 41 has an inner periphery that is larger than the outer periphery of the first engaging element group 21, and for example, when the outer periphery diameter of the first engaging element group 21 is 5 mm, the diameter of the through hole 41 is about 6 mm to 7 mm.

[0056] To install the front portion 4 on the separation portion 22, it is necessary to pass each of the first engagement element groups 21 through the corresponding through-holes 41. However, since the first engagement element groups 21 are formed with the outermost first engagement elements p forming the outer periphery, if the through-holes 41 are approximately the same size, the first engagement elements p may get caught on the edges and it may not be easy to pass them through. Also, since the back surface of the front portion 4 has an adhesive layer, there is a risk that the first engagement elements p forming the outer periphery may adhere to the adhesive layer. In this example, by making the inner periphery of the through-holes 41 larger than the outer periphery of the first engagement element groups 21, this installation work is made easier and costs can be reduced. An example of a manufacturing method will be described below.

[0057] <Manufacturing method> 7 and 8 are diagrams for explaining an example of a manufacturing method for a hanger of embodiment 2, with Fig. 7 being a diagram for explaining the steps relating to the front part 4 and Fig. 8 being a diagram for explaining the assembly step. The manufacturing method for a wall hanger of this embodiment differs from embodiment 1 above mainly in that the manufacturing method for the hanger includes steps relating to the front part 4, and the assembly step for the hanger further includes the installation of the front part 4. Below, a description of the commonalities will be omitted where appropriate, and the differences will be mainly explained.

[0058] In the step relating to the surface portion 4, as shown in Fig. 7, a surface material S for forming the surface portion 4 is prepared. The surface material S is, for example, wallpaper, and has a base material, an adhesive layer, and a release paper covering the adhesive layer. As an example, the surface material S is prepared by cutting commercially available wallpaper so that the width and length are approximately the same as the width M and length N1 of the main body portion 11 of the base 1. The surface material S may be prepared so that it is longer or wider than the main body portion 11, and after the through-holes 41 are formed, it may be cut or the like so that it is approximately the same as the main body portion 11.

[0059] The front portion 4 is formed by providing through holes 41 in the front material S that are larger than the outer periphery of the first engaging element group 21. To provide the through holes 41, for example, a punching device having a blade die (cutting die) T is used. The blade die T has blade portions T1 of shapes corresponding to the through holes 41 to be formed, and the number of blade portions T1 is the same as the number of through holes 41. The diameter of the blade portions T1 is approximately the same as the diameter of the through holes 41, and the spacing between the blade portions T1 is also approximately the same as the spacing between the through holes 41. When the front material S is punched using the blade die T, a front portion 4 having a plurality of through holes 41 is formed, as shown in Figure 7.

[0060] In the assembly process of the fastener of this embodiment, after the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 is attached to the surface of the main body 11, the release sheet of the front portion 4 is removed, and the front portion 4 is aligned with the first hook-and-loop fastener 2 as shown in Figure 8, and the front portion 4 is attached and installed to the separation portion 22 so that each first engagement element group 21 passes through the corresponding through hole 41 and protrudes from the through hole 41.
