Description

本発明はズボン、スカート、更には各種洗濯物などの衣類を吊り下げる為のクリップに係わり、挟みレバーの先端部が衣類にひっかからない様にしたクリップに関するものである。  The present invention relates to a clip for hanging clothes such as trousers, skirts, and various laundry items, and relates to a clip in which the tip of a pinch lever is not caught on the clothes.

ズボン、スカート、各種洗濯物などの衣類を吊り下げる為のクリップは代表的なものに洗濯物を干す時に使う洗濯バサミがあるが、これは片手で衣類を持ちながらもう一方の手で洗濯バサミを開く必要があり、その必要がないクリップとしては図２（イ）に示すものが提案されている。これは図２（イ）の様に（略）逆Ｕ字形のフレーム１とこのフレーム１の内側の空間に回動中心軸３を中心に回動する挟みレバー４を有するもので（挟みレバー４は図示しないねじりコイルスプリングなどのバネ部材により閉じる方向に弱い閉鎖トルクを与えられている）、衣類を両手でピンと張ってそれで挟みレバー４を押し上げれば（押し上げ力は弱くて良い）フレームの挟み部２との間に挟んで保持する事ができる。
この時、挟みレバー４の閉鎖トルクは弱いが、一旦挟んだ衣類がずり落ち様とすると挟みレバー４が下方へ回動し、挟み部２との間の間隔が小さくなるので、挟み力が増し、保持力は強力なものになる。尚、挟みレバー４に閉鎖トルクを与えるバネ部材は、図２（ハ）の様に挟みレバー４の根本部を薄肉にして、この薄肉部をバネ部材として使う事もできる。さて以上のクリップにおいてはクリップに挟んだ衣類は図２（ロ）の様に自重により挟みレバー４の先端部に垂れ下ってまとわり付く事がしばしば起り、挟みレバー４を開いて衣類を外そうとして下方へ引くと、これに引っかかってうまく外れない欠点があった（衣類が薄いもの程、ひっかかり易い）。Clips for hanging clothes such as trousers, skirts, and various types of laundry include typical clothespins that are used to hang laundry, but this means holding clothes with one hand and the clothespin with the other hand. As a clip that needs to be opened and does not need to be opened, a clip shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the frame 1 has a (substantially) inverted U-shaped frame 1 and a pinch lever 4 that rotates around the rotation center shaft 3 in a space inside the frame 1 (pinch lever 4). Is held by a spring member (not shown), such as a torsion coil spring, in a direction to close the frame), if a garment is stretched with both hands and pinched with it, the lever 4 is pushed up (the pushing force may be weak). It can be held between the two parts.
At this time, although the closing torque of the pinching lever 4 is weak, the pinching lever 4 is rotated downward when the clothes once pinched are slipped off, and the gap between the pinching portions 2 is reduced, so that the pinching force is increased. , The holding power will be strong. In addition, the spring member which gives the closing torque to the sandwiching lever 4 can also be used as a spring member by thinning the base portion of the sandwiching lever 4 as shown in FIG. In the above clips, the clothes sandwiched between the clips often hang down and cling to the tip of the sandwiching lever 4 due to their own weight, as shown in FIG. When it was pulled downward, there was a drawback that it caught on this and did not come off well (the thinner the clothes, the easier it is to catch).

本発明の目的は、挟みレバー４の先端部にひっかかり防止部材５を備える事によって、クリップに挟んだ衣類を外す時に挟みレバー４の先端部にひっかからない様にして、衣類が外し易くなる様にするものである。  An object of the present invention is to provide a catching prevention member 5 at the tip of the pinch lever 4 so that when the garment pinched by the clip is removed, the tip of the pinch lever 4 is not caught and the garment is easily removed. To do.

課題を解決する為の手段Means to solve the problem

本発明は上記目的を達成する為、逆Ｕ字形又は略逆Ｕ字形のフレームとこのフレームの内側の空間に回動可能に備えられた挟みレバーとを有するクリップにおいて、挟みレバーの先端部の上側にひっかかり防止部材を備えるとともに、このひっかかり防止部材に近接する近接部を備え、かつ前記ひっかかり防止部材はフレームに形成された近接部に接近した状態で動く様に構成した。  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a clip having an inverted U-shaped or substantially inverted U-shaped frame and a clamping lever rotatably provided in a space inside the frame. And a proximity portion close to the catch prevention member, and the catch prevention member is configured to move in a state of approaching the proximity portion formed on the frame.

発明の効果Effect of the invention

本発明では挟みレバーの先端部にひっかかり防止部材を備えたので、クリップに挟まれた衣類が垂れ下って挟みレバーにまとわり付く事がないから、挟みレバーを開いて衣類を外す時に衣類が挟みレバーにひっかかって外しにくくなる事がなく、スムーズに外せる。  In the present invention, since the pinching lever is provided at the front end of the pinch lever, the clothes pinched by the clip do not hang down and cling to the pinch lever. It can be removed smoothly without being caught by the pinch lever and becoming difficult to remove.

発明を実施する為の形態Detailed Description of the Invention

図１（イ）は本発明によるクリップで、基本的には従来と同じ構造のクリップであるが、挟みレバー４の先端部の上側にひっかかり防止部材５を備えると共にこのひっかかり防止部材５に近接する近接部６を備え、かつ前記ひっかかり防止部材５は近接部６に接近した状態で動く様に構成したところが異なる。以上の構成により、挟み部２と挟みレバー４との間に挟まれた衣類が挟みレバー４の先端部に垂れ下ってもひっかかり防止部材５に倒れて接触するだけであり、従来の図２（ロ）の様に挟みレバー４の先端部にまとわり付かない、為（近接部６によりそれが防がれている）。挟みレバー４を指で押し開いて衣類を下方へ引いてもひっかからずに外す事ができる。尚、挟みレバー４の先端部にゴムの様な摩擦材４ａを備えておくと衣類の保持力を高める事ができる（この摩擦材４ａは挟み部２に備える事もできる）。クリップに挟んだ衣類を外すには挟みレバー４を開けば良く、その為には挟みレバー４を押し上げるか、又は図１（ニ）の様に挟みレバー４を回動中心軸３を越えて延長し、この延長した部分４ｂを矢印の如く下方へ押し下げれば良い。図１（イ）ではひっかかり防止部材５の外周面と近接部６とが近接する様に構成したが、図１（ロ）の様にひっかかり防止部材５の内周面と近接部６とが近接する様に構成する事も考えられる。図１（ハ）に示す本発明によるクリップは図１（イ）のフレーム１の上部の幅を縮小して、ひっかかり防止部材５がフレームに形成された穴７を通過する様に構成したものであり、穴７の壁面が図１（イ）の近接部６に相当する（ひっかかり防止部材５は穴７を通過する為、その幅はフレーム１の幅より小さい）。図１（ホ）に示すクリップは挟みレバー４′を互いに対向させて一対備えたものであり、１′はフレーム、５′はひっかかり防止部材、７′は近接部である。  FIG. 1 (a) is a clip according to the present invention, which basically has the same structure as the conventional one, but is provided with a catching prevention member 5 on the upper side of the front end portion of the pinch lever 4 and close to the catching prevention member 5. The difference is that a proximity portion 6 is provided and the catching prevention member 5 is configured to move in a state of being close to the proximity portion 6. With the above configuration, even if the clothing sandwiched between the sandwiching portion 2 and the sandwiching lever 4 hangs down on the front end portion of the sandwiching lever 4, it only falls and contacts the catching prevention member 5 as shown in FIG. This is because it does not cling to the tip of the pinch lever 4 as in (b) (it is prevented by the proximity portion 6). Even if the clip lever 4 is pulled downward by pushing the pinch lever 4 with a finger, it can be removed without being caught. In addition, if the friction material 4a like rubber | gum is provided in the front-end | tip part of the clamping lever 4, the holding | maintenance force of clothing can be raised (this friction material 4a can also be provided in the clamping part 2). To remove the clothes sandwiched between the clips, the clip lever 4 can be opened. For this purpose, the clip lever 4 is pushed up, or the clip lever 4 is extended beyond the rotation center axis 3 as shown in FIG. Then, the extended portion 4b may be pushed downward as indicated by an arrow. In FIG. 1A, the outer peripheral surface of the catching prevention member 5 and the proximity portion 6 are configured to be close to each other. However, as shown in FIG. 1B, the inner peripheral surface of the catching prevention member 5 and the proximity portion 6 are close to each other. It is also possible to configure it to do so. The clip according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 (c) is configured so that the width of the upper part of the frame 1 in FIG. 1 (a) is reduced so that the catching prevention member 5 passes through the hole 7 formed in the frame. Yes, the wall surface of the hole 7 corresponds to the proximity portion 6 in FIG. 1A (the catch prevention member 5 passes through the hole 7 and its width is smaller than the width of the frame 1). The clip shown in FIG. 1 (e) has a pair of sandwiching levers 4 'facing each other, 1' is a frame, 5 'is a catching prevention member, and 7' is a proximity portion.

次に本発明によるクリップの適用例を説明する。図３（イ）は本発明によるクリップ、例えば図１（ハ）のクリップを支持棒８の両端部に備えたズボンハンガーを示すもので（１はそのクリップのフレームを示す）、ズボン（又はスカート）を両手でピンと張ってクリップに押し込めば、挟み部２と挟みレバー４との間に挟まれ保持される。ズボンをピンと張ってクリップに押し込む時にクリップが上方へ動くのを防ぐ為、フック９を掛ける竿にフック９が押圧されて固定される押圧レバー１１が備えられている。フック９を竿でなく壁に打ち込んだ釘に掛ける場合は、穴１０を使うと良い。クリップからズボンを外す時は図１（ハ）において矢印の様に２本の指で挟みレバー４を挟んで押して、挟みレバー４を開いて外す。図１（ニ）のクリップを使う場合は図３（ニ）の様に左右のクリップの挟みレバー４（正確には回動中心軸３を越えて延長した部分４ｂ）を互いに連結する連結部材１７（紐、鎖、棒の様なもの）を備え、この連結部材１７を矢印の如く押し下げれば左右のクリップの挟みレバー４が同時に開いて衣類を外す事ができる。フック９を竿に押圧して固定する押圧レバー１１のもう１つの実施例を図３（ロ）に示し、更にもう１つの実施例を図３（ハ）に示す（１２は押圧レバーで、それ自体の弾性によりバネの様に押圧力を発揮するものである）。図３（ホ）は本発明によるクリップ（例えば図１（ハ）のもの）を両端部に備えた支持棒８を多数支持枠１３、１４に連結させた多連装ハンガーを示すもので、使い方は図３（イ）で述べた通りであり、タオル、Ｙシャツなどの洗濯物を干すものである（Ｙシャツは首の部分を下にしてクリップに挟む）。支持枠１３を固定して支持枠１４を動かせば四節回転機構により両者は接近し、かつ各々の支持棒８も接近するので、コンパクトに収納する事ができる。図３（ヘ）は洗濯バサミ１６を多数有する洗濯ハンガーの枠１５に例えば図１（ハ）のクリップを備えたもので、使い方は図３（イ）で説明した通りである。同様にタオル、Ｙシャツ、Ｔシャツなどをクリップに押し込むだけで簡単に吊す事ができる。尚、図１（ニ）の様に回動中心軸３を越えて延長した部分４ｂを有する挟みレバー４は図１（イ）、（ロ）、（ホ）のクリップにも備える事ができる。更には図２（イ）の従来のクリップにも備える事ができるが、この場合、図３（ニ）の如く左々のクリップを連結する連結部材１７を備える事もできる。尚、以上の連結部材１７は図３（ト）の如く挟みレバー４に備える事もでき、この場合、クリップを開くには連結部材１７を矢印の如く押し上げる事になる。  Next, an application example of the clip according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 (a) shows a clip according to the present invention, for example, a trouser hanger provided with the clip of FIG. 1 (c) at both ends of the support bar 8 (1 indicates the frame of the clip), and pants (or skirt). ) Is pinched with both hands and pushed into the clip, it is sandwiched and held between the sandwiching portion 2 and the sandwiching lever 4. In order to prevent the clip from moving upward when the trousers are stretched and pushed into the clip, a pressing lever 11 is provided to fix the hook 9 by pressing the hook 9 against a hook on which the hook 9 is hung. When hook 9 is hung on a nail that has been driven into the wall instead of a heel, hole 10 may be used. When removing the pants from the clip, the pinch lever 4 is pushed with two fingers as shown by the arrow in FIG. When the clip of FIG. 1 (d) is used, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the connecting member 17 that connects the clip levers 4 (more precisely, the portion 4b extending beyond the rotation center axis 3) of the left and right clips to each other. If the connecting member 17 is pushed down as shown by an arrow, the left and right clip pinching levers 4 can be simultaneously opened to remove clothes. FIG. 3 (b) shows another embodiment of the pressing lever 11 for pressing and fixing the hook 9 against the hook, and FIG. 3 (c) shows another embodiment (12 is a pressing lever. It exerts a pressing force like a spring due to its elasticity). FIG. 3 (e) shows a multi-hanging hanger in which a support bar 8 having both ends of the clip according to the present invention (for example, the one shown in FIG. 1 (c)) is connected to a large number of support frames 13 and 14. As described in FIG. 3 (a), laundry such as towels and Y-shirts are dried (Y-shirts are sandwiched between clips with the neck portion down). If the support frame 13 is fixed and the support frame 14 is moved, both are moved closer by the four-bar rotation mechanism and each support bar 8 is also moved closer, so that it can be stored compactly. FIG. 3 (f) shows a laundry hanger frame 15 having a large number of clothes scissors 16 provided with, for example, the clip of FIG. 1 (c), and its usage is as described in FIG. 3 (a). Similarly, a towel, Y-shirt, T-shirt, etc. can be easily hung by simply pushing it into the clip. As shown in FIG. 1 (d), the sandwiching lever 4 having the portion 4b extending beyond the rotation center axis 3 can be provided in the clips shown in FIGS. 1 (a), (b), and (e). Further, the conventional clip shown in FIG. 2 (a) can be provided. In this case, however, a connecting member 17 for connecting the left and right clips can be provided as shown in FIG. 3 (d). The connecting member 17 described above can also be provided in the pinching lever 4 as shown in FIG. 3 (G). In this case, the connecting member 17 is pushed up as shown by an arrow to open the clip.
