Description

本考案は、金属製のばねを用いずに構成部品を簡素化した洗濯ばさみに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a clothespin in which components are simplified without using a metal spring.

従来一般に普及している洗濯ばさみの構造は、挟持部、支軸部、取手部から構成される１対の開閉片と、当該開閉片の挟持力を発生させ、なおかつ、当該開閉片を支軸部にて結合させるための、金属製の略Ｃ字型等の形状を有するばねの３部品によって構成されている。   Conventionally, the structure of a clothespin that has been widely used is to generate a pair of opening and closing pieces composed of a holding portion, a support shaft portion, and a handle portion, and a holding force of the opening and closing pieces. It is comprised by three components of the spring which has shapes, such as a metal substantially C shape, couple | bonded with a spindle part.

この上記従来の洗濯ばさみでは１対の開閉片を各成型品にて製造し、他に金属等でばねを製造して、各部品を組み立てるといった工程を経てゆくが、従来の洗濯ばさみの構造を改良することでさらなる工程の簡略化、低コスト化を見込む余地は残されている。   In this conventional clothespin, a pair of opening and closing pieces are manufactured with each molded product, and a spring is manufactured with metal or the like, and the parts are assembled. There is still room for further simplification and cost reduction by improving the structure.

また、従来の洗濯ばさみが廃棄される場合、現在の大多数の製品が焼却されていると仮定すると、再利用不能な燃え滓と金属が残され、産業廃棄物となるしかない。あるいは、２０世紀末より進められている資源の再利用化が今後も促進されていくことを考慮すると、当該洗濯ばさみは樹脂成型品と金属製のばねとに分別しなければならないことも想定できるが、そうした場合は人的な労力を求められることになり、効率の悪い作業であるがゆえに徹底実施されるまでに時間がかかるであろうという問題を残す。   In addition, when conventional clothespins are discarded, assuming that the majority of current products are incinerated, flammables and metals that cannot be reused are left behind and become industrial waste. Or, considering that the reuse of resources, which has been promoted since the end of the 20th century, will continue to be promoted, it is assumed that the clothespins must be separated into resin molded products and metal springs. Yes, but in this case, human labor will be required, and it will take time to implement thoroughly because it is an inefficient work.

この改善策として、従来の洗濯ばさみにおける一対の開閉片の挟持力を発生させ、なおかつ、当該開閉片を支軸部にて結合させるために必要であった金属製のばね部品を廃し、開閉方の片方に板ばねを付加した１体構造体とし、もう片方に板ばねの受け部を有した形態を備えさせることと、支軸部自身に結合のための機構を付加することで、構成部品を２点のみと簡素化できるとともに、製造工程の簡略化、低コスト化が可能となり、部品の材質を単一種類に統一できることからも、資源の再利用化の一助にもなる。   As an improvement measure, a pinion force of a pair of opening and closing pieces in a conventional clothespin is generated, and the metal spring parts necessary for connecting the opening and closing pieces at the support shaft portion are eliminated, By providing a one-body structure with a leaf spring added to one side of the opening and closing, and having a form having a receiving portion of the leaf spring on the other side, and adding a mechanism for coupling to the support shaft itself, The number of components can be simplified to only two, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced, and the material of the components can be unified into a single type, which also helps to reuse resources.

解決しようとする問題点は、洗濯ばさみの金属製のばね部品を廃し、当該ばね部品の代用機能を保持しながら構成部品を簡素化する手段を提供することである。   The problem to be solved is to eliminate the metal spring parts of the clothespins and to provide a means for simplifying the components while retaining the substitute function of the spring parts.

本考案は、上記ばね部品の代用機能を有する手段として、洗濯ばさみを構成する部品である１対の開閉方の片方に板ばねを付加した１体構造体とし、もう片方に板ばねの受け部を有した形態を備え持ち、当該開閉片を結合させる手段として、支軸部に差し込みやはめ合い等の構造を有することを最も主要な特徴とする。   The present invention has a one-body structure in which a leaf spring is added to one of a pair of opening and closing methods constituting a clothespin as a means having a function of substituting the spring component, and a leaf spring is attached to the other. The main feature is that it has a configuration having a receiving portion and has a structure such as insertion and fitting in the support shaft portion as means for connecting the opening and closing pieces.

本考案は、上記の手段によって、構成部品を上記開閉片の２点のみと簡素化できることと、部品の材質を単一種類に統一できるという利点がある。   The present invention has the advantages that, by the above-described means, the component parts can be simplified to only two points of the opening and closing pieces, and the material of the parts can be unified into a single type.

洗濯ばさみを構成する部品である１対の開閉方の片方に板ばねを付加した１体構造体とすることで、もう片方の開閉片と結合している支軸部を中心に従来どおりにばねの作用による開閉を実現した。   By using a single-body structure with a leaf spring added to one of the pair of opening / closing methods, which is a part of the clothespin, as usual, centering on the support shaft connected to the other opening / closing piece In addition, opening and closing by the action of a spring was realized.

上記本考案を実施するにあたり、使用される材質は日常生活を送るうえで無害であり、耐久力を有し、弾力性を有するものであること、なおかつ、再利用が可能なものであることが条件に挙げられ、想定される材質は当該条件を満たす特性を有する樹脂、または処理された金属製とし、いずれかの材質に統一することで資源の再利用化に配慮する。   In carrying out the present invention, the material used is harmless in daily life, has durability, has elasticity, and can be reused. The materials that are enumerated in the conditions and are assumed to be made of a resin having characteristics that satisfy the conditions or a metal that has been processed, are considered to be one of the materials, and consideration is given to the reuse of resources.
