[0005] There are many situations in daily life where it would be convenient to be able to attach tools to your fingertips. The need for timing devices that can be constantly seen during various exercises and tasks is increasing. For example, marathon runners need a way to instantly judge their running pace. There are also many situations where you need to work while looking at a watch. For rings equipped with a device attachment section, important considerations include ensuring that the device does not constrict the finger too tightly, does not cause pain or discomfort, remains securely in place and orientation even during vigorous finger movements, and is easy to put on and take off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To solve these problems, the tool attachment ring 1 according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a ring band 2 having one fastener surface of a hook-and-loop fastener on the inner surface of its winding, a fixed length hook-and-loop fastener connecting band 3 having the other fastener surface on its outer surface at the winding start side 2s of the outer surface of the ring band 2, and a hook-and-loop fastener attachment band 4 having a fixed length fastener surface on its outer surface at an arbitrary position on the rear of the winding of the connecting band 3, wherein the ring band 2 Starting from the beginning of the winding on the inner side Wrap it around your finger The end of the winding on its inner surface 2e The device is characterized in that it forms a ring by overlapping and bonding the outer surface of the bonding band 3, and the attachment portion of the attachment band 4 is provided at any position on the outside of the ring.

[0007] With the above configuration, the support (flocked) of the hook-and-loop fastener, which consists of a loop-side support with a protruding ring-shaped loop at its tip and a hook-side support with a hook-shaped hook at its tip, exhibits sufficient elasticity to flexibly adapt to the tightening of the ring band, does not cause pressure on the finger, and is less likely to slip between the skin and the fastener, allowing it to firmly hold the attached item.

[0008] The bone shafts of the fingers are far thinner and less elastic than those of the palm. Therefore, the support (flocked) surface of the hook-and-loop fastener that covers the entire finger effectively absorbs the tightening force and provides anti-slip effects in both the rotational and direction of the finger shaft. In addition, the cushioning function of the fastener makes it easier to reattach the ring once it has been wrapped around the finger. oh It can be inserted into and removed from the same finger without any problems.

[Figure 17] This figure shows an enlarged view of the cross-section 17-17 in Figure 16. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on examples. Figures 1 to 6 show the present invention. one An example is shown. Here, a tool-attaching ring 1 consisting of a hook-and-loop fastener is shown. As shown in the unfolded views in Figures 1 to 3, the tool-attaching ring 1 consists of a ring band 2 having a width b and a length from the starting side 2s to the ending side 2e that is less than two wraps around the finger, with a hook-and-loop fastener of the loop side support implanted on its inner surface. A connecting band 3 of a fixed length of hook-and-loop fastener, with the same width b implanted on the outer surface of the end of the starting side 2s of the ring band 2, is bonded to the ring band 2 with the fastener side of the hook-side support facing outwards, as shown in the figure.

[0022] A hook-and-loop fastener attachment band 4 of a certain length, with loop-side supporters of the same width b implanted on its outer surface, is attached to the ring band 2 at an arbitrary position on the rear side of the winding of the connecting band 3, with the fastener side of the loop-side supporters facing outwards, as shown in the figure. The ring band 2 is wrapped around the finger with the inner side of its starting end 2s facing inward, and the inner side of the ending end 2e of the ring band 2 overlaps with the outer surface of the joining band 3, forming the shape of a device-fitting ring 1 as shown in Figures 4 to 6.

[0023] The cross-sectional views in Figures 3 and 6 show the differences in the support structures of the hook-and-loop fasteners, indicated by the hatching patterns. Figure 4 ~ Figure 6 is Equipment attachment ring 1 Show the state after it has been removed from the finger. Yes, they are. Here, the attachment band 4 of the hook-and-loop fastener on the loop side support is located above the tool attachment ring 1, forming the tool attachment area. It is essential that the ring band 2 is wrapped tightly around the desired finger. Even when the ring is wrapped tightly, the cushioning (elasticity) effect of the flocking prevents pain to the finger, and it can be inserted and removed from the same finger without loosening the wrap. Here, the fastener side of the hook-and-loop fastener that contacts the skin of the finger is the loop side, as shown by the hatching pattern in Figure 6. The loop side of the hook-and-loop fastener has a softer feel compared to the hook side, providing a gentler feel against the skin of the finger.

[0024] On the other hand, the flocking on the hook side of the hook fastener gives a firm, stiff feel against the skin. The choice of which side of the fastener touches the skin of the finger is a matter of personal preference. If the latter option is chosen, the fastener side of the connecting band 3 must be used as the support on the loop side. In either case, there is little difference in the cushioning (elasticity) function of the flocked material, and it can be used in either case.

[0025] The fastener side of the attachment band 4, which forms the upper part of the tool attachment ring 1, is currently acting as a loop-side support, but it can also be acting as a hook-side support. In that case, the attachment tool must be equipped with a loop-side hook-and-loop fastener attachment band at the attachment point accordingly.

[0026] Here, "hair implantation" refers to the support structure formed (implanted) on the surface of the band of the fastener. 。 Furthermore, the cushioning (elasticity) function of implanted hair refers to the elasticity of the implanted support material. Also, the anti-slip function of a hook-and-loop fastener refers to the frictional resistance that occurs between the tip of the support material into which the hook-and-loop fastener is implanted and the skin of the finger.

[0027] Figures 7 and 8 show another embodiment of the present invention. Here, a digital timer 11 is attached to the mounting band 4 of the loop-side support at the top of a tool-attaching ring 1 worn on the second finger 10 of the hand. The mounting band 4 has a fastener surface on its bottom surface that is attached to a hook-side support with a hook fastener attachment band 12. The mounting band 4 can be attached to any position on the ring band 2, but here it is attached to the end of the winding end 2e of the ring band 2 at the position shown in Figure 6. Shocks and vibrations are flexibly absorbed by the action of the flocking (support) at a constant height, suppressing changes in the position, orientation, and movement of the digital timer 11 on the ring.

[0028] Figures 10 to 15 show other embodiments. Here, a tool-mounting ring 1' consisting of a hook-and-loop fastener is shown. As shown in the unfolded views in Figures 10 to 12, the tool-mounting ring 1' consists of a ring band 2' with a width b' and a length from the starting side 2s' to the ending side 2e' that is less than two wraps around the finger, with a hook-and-loop fastener of the loop-side support implanted on its inner surface.

[0029] The ring band 2' has a fixed length hook-side fastener front attachment band 3' with a hook-side support of the same width b' (which becomes a loop-side support if the ring band 2' side is the hook-side support) implanted on the outer surface of the beginning end 2s' of its winding, and a hook-side fastener rear attachment band 3e' with the same hook-side support fastener

[0030] The ring band 2' is wrapped around the finger with the inner side of its starting end 2s' facing inward, and after the inner side of the ring band 2' overlaps the outer side of the previously joined band 3'. 、 As shown in the figure, the interval is 3c' Department The empty part forms the End of wrapping The end portion 2e' is bonded to the post-jointing band 3e', forming the shape of a tool-attaching ring 1'.

[0031] The cross-sectional views in Figures 12 and 15 show the difference in the support structures of the hook-and-loop fasteners due to the different hatching patterns. Figures 13 and 15 show the state after removal from the finger, where the tool attachment portion of the hook-and-loop fastener attachment band 4' of the loop-side support is formed at the upper position of the tool attachment ring 1'. Here, the gap 3c' portion at the end of the winding of the ring band 2' is separated from the outer surface of the inner ring band 2', allowing the fastener surface portion of the attachment band 4' of the tool attachment portion to adhere flexibly and for a long distance, following the shape of the opposing fastener surface.

[0032] This allows the fastener surface of the attachment band 4' to adhere to the fastener surface of the attachment device for a longer distance, and the end 2e' of the ring band 2' adheres to the upper surface of the rear joining band 3e', securely holding the attachment device both in front and behind. The other attachment device is held over a wide surface on the attachment attachment portion of the attachment band 4', and is stably held on the attachment ring 1' in cooperation with the end 2e' of the ring band 2'. Here, as in the previous example, the side of the hook-and-loop fastener that touches the skin of the finger is the loop side, as shown by the hatching pattern in Figure 12. It is also possible to make this side that touches the skin of the finger the hook side of the fastener.

[0033] Figures 16 and 17 show other embodiments. Here, an example is shown in which a watch 11' is attached to the tool-attaching ring 1' of the above embodiment, which is worn on the first finger 10' of the hand. A watch 11' is attached to the bottom surface of a hook-side support by having a hook-and-loop fastener attachment band 12' on the fastener side of the loop-side support at the top of the tool attachment ring 1'. The portion 4c' between the mounting band 4' of the tool mounting ring 1' adheres to the flat bottom surface of the watch 11', extending over a wide area to firmly hold the watch 11'.
