Description

本願発明はファスナーに関し、詳しくは、スイッチの機能を備えたファスナー、更には該機能を利用して開いている時と閉じている時を感知する機能を備えたファスナーに関する。 The present invention relates to a fastener, and more particularly, to a fastener having a function of a switch, and further to a fastener having a function of sensing when it is open and when it is closed using this function.

今日、２枚のテープの夫々の側端部に設けられた複数の金属エレメント（務歯）をスライダーにより嵌合自在として開口部の開閉を容易とするファスナーが衣類、バック等の袋物、寝具等様々な物に用いられている。しかし、開閉が容易であるために、使用者自身の閉め忘れや、他人による開閉が行われ易く、特に衣類や袋物に用いた場合には携帯品の盗難等の不安があり、又、閉め忘れにより恥ずかしい思いをすることがあるといった欠点もあった。 Today, fasteners that make it easy to open and close the opening by allowing a plurality of metal elements (service teeth) provided on each side edge of two tapes to be freely fitted by a slider are clothes, bags, bedding, etc. It is used for various things. However, because it is easy to open and close, it is easy for the user to forget to close it, and it is easy for others to open and close. Especially when used for clothes and bags, there is anxiety such as theft of portable items, and forgetting to close There was also a drawback that sometimes made me feel more embarrassed.

そこで、テープの片方に務歯に近傍して接点部を縫製して、この接点部と自在に係合してなる絶縁板をスライダーに設け、スライダーの作動によって接点部に絶縁板を介在させたりさせなかったりして接点部を開閉自在としたファスナーが提案されている（特許文献１）。 Therefore, a contact portion is sewn close to the tooth on one side of the tape, an insulating plate that freely engages with the contact portion is provided on the slider, and the insulating plate is interposed in the contact portion by operating the slider. There has been proposed a fastener in which the contact portion can be freely opened and closed without any change (Patent Document 1).

登録実用新案第３０５０１１７号公報Registered Utility Model No. 30501117

しかし、この従来技術では、接点部や絶縁板といった部材の凹凸があり、ある程度の硬さのある部材がファスナーから突出しているので、使用者の指に当たり怪我をする恐れがあり、又、袋物の収納物や衣服を傷つけ易いという欠点があった。特に定期的に洗濯をする衣類では、洗濯中に当該ファスナーを備えている衣服のみならず一緒に洗濯する衣類も傷を付ける恐れがあり、実用的ではなかった。更に、テープに縫製された接点部は縫製がほつれて離脱し易いという欠点があった。又、その部材の凹凸、露出により、袋物や衣類の意匠性を害すると共に、特に衣類では使用に違和感を覚えるという欠点があった。 However, in this prior art, there are irregularities on the members such as the contact part and the insulating plate, and since a member with a certain degree of hardness protrudes from the fastener, there is a risk of hitting the user's finger and causing injury. There was a fault that things and clothes were easily damaged. Especially for clothes that are washed regularly, not only clothes that are equipped with the fastener during washing but also clothes that are washed together are not practical. Further, the contact portion sewn on the tape has a drawback that it is easily detached when the sewing is frayed. In addition, the irregularities and exposure of the members have the disadvantage of impairing the design of the bag and clothing, and in particular the clothing feels uncomfortable.

そこで、本発明は上記課題を解決し、スイッチ機能を備えたファスナーにおいて、使用に当たって怪我や携帯品及び当該ファスナーが設けられた物品の破損の恐れが無く、定期的な洗濯も問題なく行えるファスナーを提供することを目的とする。又、外見上は通常のファスナーと同様で外見的には変化がなく当該ファスナーが設けられた物品の意匠性を害することが無く、使用に当たって違和感が無く、その機能の破損が少ないファスナーを提供することを目的とする。又、そのスイッチ機能を利用して、使用者にファスナーの開閉状態を認識させること或いは開いたことや閉め忘れへの注意を換気することが可能なファスナーを提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and in a fastener having a switch function, there is no risk of injury or damage to a portable article and an article provided with the fastener in use, and a fastener that can be regularly washed without problems.

It is preferable to provide conductivity to all the meshing elements 3 and 4 provided in the region. Further, it is preferable that the elements 3 and 4 between the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6 are not provided with conductivity.

これら導電部２，５，６は例えばテープ９，１０に導電繊維を織り込むことにより構成して、又は導電塗料を塗布する等して構成することができる。又、テープ９，１０の一部を導電性の可撓性ある薄板等で形成して導電部２，５，６を形成することもできる。いずれにしても導電部はテープ９，１０の厚みを全く変更せずに、或いは僅かに厚くするとしても１ｍｍ程度で均一に厚みを持たせれば充分であり、外見上も取扱い上も全く導電部を設けない通常のファスナーと同様に構成することが出来る。 These conductive portions 2, 5, and 6 can be formed by weaving conductive fibers into the tapes 9 and 10, for example, or by applying a conductive paint. Alternatively, the conductive portions 2, 5, 6 can be formed by forming a part of the tapes 9, 10 with a conductive flexible thin plate or the like. In any case, it is sufficient for the conductive part to have a uniform thickness of about 1 mm without changing the thickness of the tapes 9 and 10 at all, or even if it is slightly thicker. It can be configured in the same manner as a normal fastener that is not provided.

図１及び２のファスナー１００製造の工程図に示すように、テープ９，１０に導電部２，５，６を設けた後に導電性のエレメント（務歯）３，４を装着することが好ましい。又、導電部２，５，６は夫々１個の導電性のエレメント（務歯）３，４と接続する上下幅で構成してもよいが、夫々複数の導電性のエレメント（務歯）３，４と接続する上下幅で構成することが通電の確実性から好ましい。又、導電部２，５，６が導電塗料の塗布等、外見上目視し得る構成の場合には、テープ９，１０の裏面、即ちファスナー１００が取り付けられた製品の内側に設けることが、該製品の意匠上望ましい。 1 and 2, it is preferable to attach conductive elements 3, 4 after providing the conductive portions 2, 5, 6 on the tapes 9, 10 as shown in the process chart for manufacturing the fastener 100. The conductive portions 2, 5 and 6 may be configured to have a vertical width connected to one conductive element (service tooth) 3 and 4, respectively, but each of the plurality of conductive elements (service teeth) 3 is connected. , 4 is preferable in terms of energization reliability. Further, in the case where the conductive portions 2, 5, and 6 are visually visible, such as application of a conductive paint, the back surfaces of the tapes 9 and 10, that is, the inside of the product to which the fastener 100 is attached, Desirable for product design.

図３に示すように、第三の導電部２から導電線１を、第四の導電部６から導電線７を引き出し、導電線１，７を接続して第三の導電部２と前記第四の導電部６を電気的に接続する回路２０を設ける。 As shown in FIG. 3, the conductive wire 1 is drawn from the third conductive portion 2, the conductive wire 7 is drawn from the fourth conductive portion 6, and the conductive wires 1 and 7 are connected to connect the third conductive portion 2 and the first conductive portion. A circuit 20 for electrically connecting the four conductive parts 6 is provided.

図５はファスナー１００にスイッチ機能をもたらす部分の拡大図であり、スイッチが「入り」となった時の電流の流れる順序を矢印８で説明したものである。電流は導電線１、第三の導電部２、導電性のエレメント３、導電性のエレメント４、第五の電動部５、導電性のエレメント４、導電性のエレメント３、第四の導電部６、導電線７の順に流れて回路が成立している。勿論この逆でもよい。 FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a part that provides the switching function to the fastener 100, and the order of current flow when the switch is “on” is illustrated by arrows 8. The electric current is the conductive wire 1, the third conductive part 2, the conductive element 3, the conductive element 4, the fifth motorized part 5, the conductive element 4, the conductive element 3, and the fourth conductive part 6. The circuit is established by flowing in the order of the conductive wires 7. Of course, this may be reversed.

図３に示す状態では、スライダー１１が上止３４，４３の近傍へ到達しておらず、ファスナーが完全には閉じきっていないので、第三の導電部２と第四の導電部６は夫々導電性のエレメント３，４を介して第五の電動部５により接続されていないので、第三の導電部２と前記第四の導電部６間で電気的に切断されており、導電線１，７等で構成される回路２０に電圧を掛けても電流は流れない。この状態はファスナー１００がスイッチの「切り」の機能を果たしていることになる。 In the state shown in FIG. 3, since the slider 11 has not reached the vicinity of the top stops 34 and 43 and the fastener is not completely closed, the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6 are respectively Since the fifth electric part 5 is not connected via the conductive elements 3 and 4, it is electrically disconnected between the third conductive part 2 and the fourth conductive part 6. , 7 etc., no current flows even if a voltage is applied to the circuit 20. In this state, the fastener 100 performs the “cut” function of the switch.

図４に示す状態では、スライダー１１を上止３４，４３まで上げ切って、ファスナーが完全には閉じた状態となっているので、、第三の導電部２と第四の導電部６は夫々導電性のエレメント３，４を介して第五の電動部５により接続され、第三の導電部２と第四の導電部６間で電気的に接続されており、導電線１，７等で構成される回路２０に電圧を掛けると電流が流れることになる。この状態はファスナー１００がスイッチの「入り」の機能を果たしていることになる。 In the state shown in FIG. 4, the slider 11 is raised to the top stops 34 and 43 and the fastener is completely closed. Therefore, the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6 are respectively It is connected by the fifth motorized part 5 through the conductive elements 3 and 4, and is electrically connected between the third conductive part 2 and the fourth conductive part 6, When a voltage is applied to the configured circuit 20, a current flows. In this state, the fastener 100 performs the “on” function of the switch.

回路２０には図６、７に示す一実施例にのように電源２１及び警告手段２２が接続されている。又、コイル２３のｂ接点２４により、導電線１，７間のファスナー１００側で回路が接続された場合、即ちファスナー１００がスイッチの「入り」の機能を果たしている場合、ｂ接点２４は開路して、警告手段２２は作動せず（図６）、導電線１，７間のファスナー１００側で回路が切断された場合、即ちファスナー１００がスイッチの「切り」の機能を果たしている場合、ｂ接点２４は閉路して、警告手段２２が作動する（図７）構成とすることが出来る。 A power source 21 and a warning means 22 are connected to the circuit 20 as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. In addition, when a circuit is connected on the side of the fastener 100 between the conductive wires 1 and 7 by the b contact 24 of the coil 23, that is, when the fastener 100 performs the function of “on” the switch, the b contact 24 is opened. When the warning means 22 does not operate (FIG. 6) and the circuit is disconnected on the side of the fastener 100 between the conductive wires 1 and 7, that is, when the fastener 100 performs the function of “switching” the switch, 24 can be closed and the warning means 22 can be operated (FIG. 7).

尚、手動スイッチ２５を設け、任意に回路２０の開閉を自在としてスイッチ機構の作動を所望時に限定させるようにしてもよく、導電線１，７にプラグ接続部２６，２６を設けて、回路２０の一部２９、例えば導電線以外の構成部品を含む部分を着脱容易として、ファスナー１００が取り付けられた被服等の製品の洗濯時等に取外し可能とすること、又、この回路２０の一部２９の部分を一体的にパッケージ化して取り使い容易とすることが好ましい。又、この回路２０の一部２９の部分はファスナー１００が取り付けられた製品がズボンである場合にはそのポケットに収納することが出来る。警告手段２２は、ファスナーの開或いは閉状態を使用者に知らせるための手段であり、公知の振動装置、鳴奏装置、発光装置或いはこれらの複合装置を用いることが出来る。 A manual switch 25 may be provided to arbitrarily open and close the circuit 20 so that the operation of the switch mechanism is limited to a desired time. Plug connections 26 and 26 are provided on the conductive wires 1 and 7 so that the circuit 20 A part 29 of the circuit 20, for example, a part including components other than the conductive wire can be easily attached and detached so that it can be removed when washing a product such as clothes to which the fastener 100 is attached. These parts are preferably packaged as a single unit for easy use. The part 29 of the circuit 20 can be stored in the pocket when the product to which the fastener 100 is attached is pants. The warning means 22 is means for notifying the user of the open or closed state of the fastener, and a known vibration device, sounding device, light emitting device, or a composite device thereof can be used.

又、図８に示すように、ファスナー１００は一のテープ９のエレメント３を設けた側端部、即ちエレメント３を装着する下地となる部分には、上止３４の近傍、即ちテープ９の上端部に第三の導電部２を設けると共に、第三の導電部２と離隔して第四の導電部６を設け、他のテープ１０には導電部を設けず、少なくとも第三の導電部２及び第四の導電部６を設けた部位に渡って設けられた噛合するエレメント３，４は導電性を備える構成とすることも出来る。 Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the fastener 100 has a side end portion of the tape 9 on which the element 3 is provided, that is, a base portion on which the element 3 is mounted, in the vicinity of the top stop 34, that is, the upper end of the tape 9. The third conductive portion 2 is provided in the portion, the fourth conductive portion 6 is provided apart from the third conductive portion 2, and the other tape 10 is not provided with the conductive portion, and at least the third conductive portion 2 is provided. And the meshing elements 3 and 4 provided over the site | part which provided the 4th electroconductive part 6 can also be set as the structure provided with electroconductivity.

この場合スライダー１１がテープ９の上端部の第三の導電部２を設けた位置に到達することで、電流は導電線１、第三の導電部２、導電性のエレメント３、導電性のエレメント４、導電性のエレメント３、導電性のエレメント４、導電性のエレメント３、導電性のエレメント４、導電性のエレメント３、第四の導電部６、導電線７の順に流れて回路が成立している。即ち、図５に示す図において、導電部５を設けずに、導電部５の代替として導電性のエレメント３，４を利用し、連続して噛合する導電性のエレメント３，４…で電流を流すものである。 In this case, when the slider 11 reaches the position where the third conductive portion 2 at the upper end of the tape 9 is provided, the current flows through the conductive wire 1, the third conductive portion 2, the conductive element 3, and the conductive element. 4, the conductive element 3, the conductive element 4, the conductive element 3, the conductive element 4, the conductive element 3, the fourth conductive portion 6, and the conductive line 7 flow in this order to form a circuit. ing. That is, in the diagram shown in FIG. 5, without providing the conductive portion 5, the conductive elements 3, 4 are used as an alternative to the conductive portion 5, and current is continuously passed through the conductive elements 3, 4. It is a flow.

このような構成でも、スライダー１１が上止３４，４３の近傍へ到達していなく、ファスナーが完全には閉じきっていない状態では、第三の導電部２と第四の導電部６間の導電性のエレメント３，４…は接続されていないので、第三の導電部２と前記第四の導電部６間で電気的に切断されており、導電線１，７で構成される回路２０に電圧を掛けても電流は流れない。このような状態はファスナー１００がスイッチの「切り」の機能を果たしていることになる。一方、スライダー１１を上止３４，４３まで上げ切って、ファスナーが完全には閉じた状態では、第三の導電部２と第四の導電部６は連続して噛合する導電性のエレメント３，４…により接続され、第三の導電部２と第四の導電部６間で電気的に接続されており、導電線１，７で構成される回路２０に電圧を掛けると電流が流れることになる。この状態はファスナー１００がスイッチの「入り」の機能を果たしていることになる。 Even in such a configuration, when the slider 11 does not reach the vicinity of the top stops 34 and 43 and the fastener is not completely closed, the conduction between the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6 is not achieved. Since the conductive elements 3, 4... Are not connected, they are electrically disconnected between the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6, and are connected to the circuit 20 composed of the conductive wires 1, 7. No current flows even when a voltage is applied. In such a state, the fastener 100 performs the “cut” function of the switch. On the other hand, when the slider 11 is raised to the top stops 34 and 43 and the fastener is completely closed, the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6 are continuously engaged with the conductive element 3. 4... Are connected between the third conductive portion 2 and the fourth conductive portion 6, and a current flows when a voltage is applied to the circuit 20 composed of the conductive wires 1 and 7. Become. In this state, the fastener 100 performs the “on” function of the switch.

更に、図９に示すように、ファスナー１００は一のテープ９のエレメント３を設けた側端部に第一の導電部３０を設け、他のテープ１０のエレメント４を設けた側端部の、第一の導電部３０と対向する位置に第二の導電部３１を設け、少なくとも第一の導電部３０及び第二の導電部３１を設けた部位に設けられた一対の噛合するエレメントに導電性を備えさせ、第一の導電部３０から導電線１を、第二の導電部３１から導電線７を引出す構成とすることもできる。この場合スライダー１１が第一の導電部３０及び第二の導電部３１を設けた位置に到達することで、電流は導電線１、第一の導電部３０、導電性のエレメント３、導電性のエレメント４、第二の導電部３１、導電線７の順に流れて回路が成立している。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the fastener 100 is provided with the first conductive portion 30 at the side end portion on which the element 3 of one tape 9 is provided, and on the side end portion on which the element 4 of the other tape 10 is provided. A second conductive portion 31 is provided at a position opposite to the first conductive portion 30 and is electrically conductive to a pair of meshing elements provided at least in the portion where the first conductive portion 30 and the second conductive portion 31 are provided. The conductive wire 1 can be drawn from the first conductive portion 30 and the conductive wire 7 can be drawn from the second conductive portion 31. In this case, when the slider 11 reaches the position where the first conductive portion 30 and the second conductive portion 31 are provided, the current flows through the conductive wire 1, the first conductive portion 30, the conductive element 3, and the conductive A circuit is formed by flowing in the order of the element 4, the second conductive portion 31, and the conductive wire 7.

第一の導電部３０及び第二の導電部３１の上下方向の位置は特に限定されず、ファスナー１００の上端部に設置することにより、ファスナーが完全に閉じた状態でファスナー１００がスイッチの「入り」の機能を果たし、少しでもファスナー１００が開くことによりスイッチが「切り」の機能を果たすので、ファスナー１００の僅かな開状態を警告することが出来る。ファスナー１００の中間部に設置することにより、ある程度ファスナー１００が開くことによりスイッチが「切り」の機能を果たすので、ファスナー１００のある程度の開状態を警告することが出来る。又、ファスナー１００の下端部に設置することにより、ファスナー１００が全開することによりスイッチが「切り」の機能を果たすので、ファスナー１００の全開状態のみを警告することが出来る。 The position in the vertical direction of the first conductive portion 30 and the second conductive portion 31 is not particularly limited. By installing the first conductive portion 30 and the second conductive portion 31 at the upper end portion of the fastener 100, the fastener 100 is turned on when the fastener is completely closed. The switch performs the function of “cut” by opening the fastener 100 even a little, so that a slight open state of the fastener 100 can be warned. By installing in the middle part of the fastener 100, the switch performs a “cut” function when the fastener 100 is opened to some extent, so that a certain degree of opening of the fastener 100 can be warned. Moreover, since the switch performs the function of “cut” when the fastener 100 is fully opened by being installed at the lower end portion of the fastener 100, only the fully opened state of the fastener 100 can be warned.

尚、本発明のファスナーを各種実施例を挙げて説明したが、本発明がこれらの実施例に限定されるものではなく、又、これらの実施例から適宜選択して構成することができることは明らかである。 The fastener of the present invention has been described with reference to various examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples, and it is apparent that the present invention can be appropriately selected and configured from these examples.
