Description

  The present invention relates to a slider raising / lowering assisting tool for a slide fastener sewn on a back portion of an outer garment, and more particularly, to an assisting tool capable of easily raising / lowering a slider without forcing a wearer into an unnatural body shape.

  Traditionally, there is one challenge when women wear jackets.

  As seen in formal wear, dresses, etc., there is a slide fastener (aka zipper) on the back of women's outerwear that must be lifted when worn and lowered when undressed. It's a tricky thing.

  For example, in order for a woman to wear formal wear, the slider of the slide fastener on the back part must be lifted by her hand from the bottom to the top.

  In this case, there is no problem because both the left and right hands can easily reach from between the shoulder and the waist while the slider of the slide fastener is still near the waist of the lowermost part.

  However, when the slider is pulled up to the top of the jacket located behind your neck, you have to pass the slider just near the center of the scapula on the left and right sides. Because neither hand reaches the hand, the slider cannot be lifted. Similarly, when pulling down the slider from the uppermost part to the lowermost part at the time of undressing, it is difficult to lower the slider because it is difficult to pass near the center of the scapula.

  Wearing formal wear must be worn and dressed as soon as possible for the convenience of going out of the house, but it takes time to lift the slider, and most of the time I feel just as time goes on Is a problem that many women have experienced and still face.

  Such a lifting and lowering operation of the slider is not a problem as long as the wearer is young and the body is soft, but becomes difficult with aging. In other words, it is a very difficult task for the elderly, and it is a problem that should be solved by all means in the future aging society.

  Conventionally, for example, there has been a zip upper described in Patent Document 1 to solve such a problem.

  This zip upper is composed of a handle portion having a length of about 55 cm, a handle fixed to one end portion thereof, and a finger hook provided on the other end portion of the handle portion, and the handle portion has a folding scale structure. It is characterized by being. In use, the wearer extends the folding scale, hooks the pull handle at the tip, slides the fastener, then puts the finger in the finger hook and pulls it over the shoulder.

  However, this conventional zip upper is somewhat convenient for storage because the handle part has a folding scale structure, but it is bulky as a whole, and it needs to be stored in a pocket etc. after dressing and undressing and may be lost There was a problem that there was.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-230479 (refer to claim 2, FIG. 1)

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and even if the wearer is an elderly person, the pull fastener pull-up and pull-down work sewn on the back of the jacket is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lifting / lowering assisting tool for a slider that can be easily formed, can be accommodated comfortably at the time of clothing, and is not likely to be lost.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the slider raising / lowering assisting tool of the slide fastener according to claim 1 according to the present invention is hung on a pull fastener of the slide fastener sewn in the vertical direction on the back portion of the outer garment, and the slider Is an auxiliary tool that pulls up or pulls down, and is connected to a flexible fixed-length string body and one end of the string body, and can be freely hooked on and off from the slider puller. And a weight connected to the other end portion of the string body, and a weight that is pulled up and pulled down through the string body by a stopper that is hooked to the slider puller. And

  Here, the “string body” referred to in the present invention is used when raising and lowering the pull of the slide fastener, and can be bent as a whole, for example, a certain length having flexibility such as a string or a chain. A thin linear body.

  The slider raising / lowering assisting tool for the slide fastener according to claim 2 is the slider raising / lowering assisting tool for the slide fastener according to claim 1, wherein the string is made of fiber or plastic, and between the stopper and the string. Is characterized in that a chain is interposed.

  The slider raising / lowering assisting tool for the slide fastener according to claim 3 is the slider raising / lowering assisting tool for the slide fastener according to claim 1, wherein the string body is a chain.

  The slider raising / lowering assisting tool for the slide fastener according to claim 4 is the slider raising / lowering assisting tool for the slide fastener according to claim 3, wherein the chain is divided into two parts in the middle thereof, and at the chain end on one side, A male metal fitting is connected, and a female metal fitting is connected to the chain end on the other side. By attaching and detaching both metal fittings, the chain can be cut off or connected in the middle.

  According to the auxiliary tool of the first aspect, the stopper attached to one end of the flexible and sufficiently long fixed string body is latched to the slider puller before or after the clothing. Since the slider is lifted or pulled down, it is possible to easily pass the vicinity of the center of the wearer's scapula, which has heretofore been difficult to pass through the slider.

  Therefore, even if the wearer of the jacket is an elderly person, the pulling and pulling operations of the puller of the slide fastener of the jacket can be easily performed.

  After pulling up the slider to the top of the jacket, you can drop the weight between the jacket and underwear to store most of the string, so you can pull it out when you take it off. In addition to being able to be accommodated comfortably, there is no risk of loss as in the case of a conventional auxiliary tool.

  According to the auxiliary tool of claim 2, since the string body is made of fiber or plastic, it is lightweight, and the chain is interposed between the fastener and the string body. In addition to the effect of the tool, the entire string body can be used by fitting well to the wearer's back line.

  According to the auxiliary tool of Claim 3, since the whole string body is comprised with the chain, in addition to the effect of the auxiliary tool of Claim 1, it is excellent in fashionability, and the effect which is further excellent in a softness | flexibility and portability. Have

  According to the auxiliary tool of claim 4, the chain is divided into two parts in the middle of the chain, and the connecting tool that allows the chain to be separated or connected is provided. In addition, when lifting the slider to the top of the outerwear and then dropping the weight between the outerwear and the underwear, the chain that is hooked by the slider puller is released by disconnecting the connection bracket. Only can be stored between the outerwear and the underwear, and the storage length can be shortened.

  Further, when the slider is lowered, it is very convenient because the chain stored between the outer garment and the undergarment can be taken out and the stored chain can be connected and used with a connecting fitting.

FIG. 4 is a view showing the use of the slider raising / lowering assisting device of the second embodiment according to the present invention, showing the state following FIG. 3, in which FIG. FIG. 4B is a perspective view showing a state in which the slider is started to be pulled down by the auxiliary tool.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an overall plan view of a first embodiment of a slider raising / lowering assisting tool (hereinafter referred to as “assist tool”) according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the auxiliary tool 10 is connected to a string body 1A (also known as a fashion code), a fastener 2 (also known as NASKAN) connected to the left end of the string 1A, and a right end of the string 1A. It consists of 3 weights (also known as accessory parts).

  The main body of the string 1A is the plastic string 1a that occupies most of the length direction, and the material thereof may be any material such as fiber, plastic, metal, etc. as long as it is a thin linear body that can be bent freely. In the present embodiment, the plastic string 1a is not particularly limited, but has an outer diameter of about 1 mm and its color is black. If the plastic cord 1a is black, and the outerwear O (see FIG. 3 (b)) is, for example, formal wear, the plastic cord 1a is black with the same color as the formal wear, so there is no sense of discomfort due to assimilation.

  1 A of string bodies are good also as other color codes in order to match the color of clothes, and to improve fashionability besides black. For example, the user's favorite color may be used to indicate that the auxiliary tool 10 is dedicated to the user.

  In addition, as long as the string 1A is a thin linear body having a predetermined length with flexibility, other accessories than the plastic string 1a may be attached. For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, a loop-forming metal fitting 1b (also known as a silver part) is attached to both ends of the plastic string 1a, and for connecting the stopper metal 2 and the loop-forming metal fitting 1b, A metal ring 1c and a short chain 1d are provided.

  The total length L, which is the above “constant length” of the string 1A, is at least 300 mm depending on the height of the user in order to easily raise and lower the slider S (see FIG. 3A) of the slide fastener F. Well, even if it is long, it is up to about 700 mm, preferably in the range of 500 mm to 700 mm. In the present invention, the length of the cord body 1A can be adjusted to the optimum length according to the wearer's height by attaching the loop forming metal fitting 1b after adjusting the length of the plastic cord 1a as necessary. It is like that.

  Next, the stopper 2 (also known as “Naskan”) is used to hang the string body 1A on the pull H of the slider S or to detach it. The mouth is closed by the urging force, but can be opened by the wearer pulling down the lever 2a in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

  Finally, the weight 3 is a knob that makes it easy to pull up or pull down the string body 1A. After the slider S is pulled up to the top of the fastener F, it is inserted between the outerwear O and the underwear U, and its own weight. This is for dropping (details will be described later with reference to FIG. 4A).

  Therefore, the outer dimensions should be as large as 10 mm, and a weight of about 1 to 2 g is sufficient. The external dimensions of the fastener 2 are the same, but if the external shape is made heart-shaped as in the present embodiment, it is easy to hold and is excellent in fashionability, so the user has no sense of incongruity when using it.

  Next, the auxiliary tool of 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  2A and 2B are views of the auxiliary tool 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 2A is an overall plan view, and FIG. 2B is the auxiliary tool 20 of FIG. FIG. 2C is a perspective view of the side of the stopper 2 of the auxiliary tool 20 of FIG. 2A.

  2, the members having the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 indicate the same members as those in FIG. 1, and thus description thereof will be omitted, and only different members will be described.

  The assisting tool 20 of the second embodiment is different from the assisting tool 10 of the first embodiment described above in that the string body 1A of the assisting tool 10 of the first embodiment is generally made of a plastic string. On the other hand, the auxiliary tool 20 of the second embodiment is that the string body 1B is composed of metal chains 5a and 6a except for the connection fitting 4 (also known as New Hook).

  That is, the cord body 1B is divided in half by the fastener side chain 5 and the weight side chain 6, and the length L1 of the fastener side chain 5 is shorter than the length L2 of the weight side chain 6. (L1 <L2). As described above, the reason why the length L1 of the stopper side chain 5 is shorter than the length L2 of the weight side chain 6 is that the weight 3 side of the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 of the present invention is a slider. This is because the weight 3 and the chain 6a are dropped between the outerwear O and the underwear U after S is raised to the top of the outerwear O, so that the dropping length is as short as possible.

  A female fitting 4b for connection to the weight side chain 6 is connected to the chain end of the clasp side chain 5, while a connection to the clasp side chain 5 is connected to the chain end of the weight side chain 6. The male fitting 4a is connected, and by attaching and detaching both fittings 4a and 4b, it can be connected to the state shown in FIG. 2 (a) or separated into the states shown in FIG. 2 (b) and FIG. 2 (c). It can be done.

  Next, the usage method of the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.3 and FIG.4.

  3 and 4 are explanatory views of the usage method of the auxiliary tool 20 of the second embodiment described above, the basic usage method of the auxiliary tool 10 of the first embodiment is described above. Are also the same, and will be described together.

<Step 1>
First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the stopper 2 is stopped by the puller H of the slider S in a state where the outerwear O is removed (or in a state where the outerwear O is attached). At this time, since the slider S has not yet been lifted, it is in the vicinity of the lowermost portion of the jacket O. The same applies to the auxiliary tool 10 of the first embodiment.

<Step 2>
Next, the outerwear O is worn while the stopper 2 is hooked on the puller H of the slider S, and the weight 3 of the auxiliary tool 20 with the right hand (the left-handed wearer with the left hand) (see FIG. 2 (a)). After picking up, lift the right hand from the armpit to the upper position of the wearer's right shoulder. In addition, this operation | work can be made easy because the string 1B of the auxiliary tool 20 is made into the said sufficient length according to a wearer's height in this invention.

FIG. 3B shows a state in which the slider S is slightly lifted in the direction of the arrow Y by the wearer slightly pulling up the weight 3 of the auxiliary tool 20. The operation so far is the same also about the auxiliary tool 10 of 1st Embodiment.
<Step 3>
Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the slider S reaches the uppermost end line of the jacket O, the female fitting 4b of the auxiliary tool 20 of the second embodiment is removed from the male fitting 4a, so that the weight side After removing the chain 6, the wearer turns the female fitting 4 b of the stopper fitting side chain 5 between the outerwear O and the underwear U and drops it into the state shown in the figure. In the state shown in the figure, as shown by the broken line, most of the fastener-side chain 5 is hidden between the outerwear O and the underwear U, so there is no sense of incongruity even when other people see it. .

  In this way, after the weight side chain 6 is removed, only the stopper metal chain 5 and the female metal fitting 4b are folded back and dropped between the outerwear O and the underwear U.

On the other hand, in the case of the auxiliary tool 10 according to the first embodiment, the substantially entire length of the weight 3 and the string body 1a is folded back from the uppermost end of the outerwear O and folded between the outerwear O and the underwear U and dropped.
<Step 4>
On the other hand, when taking off the outerwear O, the female fitting 4b at the end of the stopper metal chain 5 that is dropped between the underwear U and the outerwear O is dragged with the right hand (left-handed wearer with the left hand) and worn. After connecting to the male bracket 4a of the weight side chain 6 stored separately by the person, the weight 3 is picked and pulled down until the slider S reaches the lowest end position of the outerwear O. In addition, in the case of the auxiliary tool 10 of the first embodiment, since it is not necessary to connect the metal fittings 4a and 4b, the string body 1a dropped between the underwear U and the outerwear O and the weight of the tip end thereof. Drag 3 and do the same.

  In this case, if the undresser does not have the assisting devices 10 and 20 of the present invention, as described above, it is very difficult to pull the slider S from the upper shoulder position between the shoulder blades to the vicinity of the waist. However, the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 of the present invention have the cords 1a and 1b set sufficiently long so that they can easily reach the weight 3, and the slider 3 can be easily moved by lowering the weight 3. It can be pulled down from the top to the bottom.

  As mentioned above, the auxiliary | assistant tools 10 and 20 of 1st and 2nd embodiment which concern on this invention have the fixed length according to the wearer's body posture and height, and the cord 1A, 1B part wears it in use. Therefore, the slider S can be easily lifted or pulled down without forcing the elderly person into an unreasonable body shape.

  Further, in any of the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 of the first and second embodiments, most of the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 are constituted by the string bodies 1A and 1B, so that they are light and small, and are very convenient for carrying. .

  It should be noted that the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 of the first and second embodiments both have the straps 1A and 1B folded and the female fittings at the tips thereof after the slider S is pulled up to the top of the fastener F. The 4b or weight 3 is dropped between the outerwear O and the underwear U by its own weight, and can be operated by wearing the outerwear O in this state. There is no risk of losing the assisting tool as in the case of the assisting tool.

  Even if the auxiliary tools 10 and 20 are stored between the outerwear O and the underwear U as described above, when the outerwear O is, for example, formal wear, the clothing color is black, so that it can be seen from the outside. There is nothing. Therefore, the wearer can use the assisting tools 10 and 20 of the present invention without any concern.

  The auxiliary tools 10 and 20 of the present invention are not limited to those of the first and second embodiments, and various modifications and combinations are possible within the scope described in the claims of the utility model registration. Of course, these modifications and combinations are also included in the scope of the present invention.
