DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fastener for a bag, such as a handbag, which magnetically attracts and engages a female fastener and a male fastener.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a metal fastener for a bag, a female metal fastener having a ring-shaped permanent magnet housed in a disk-shaped metal case having a locking hole in the center, and a ferromagnetic metal fitting with the locking hole. It is known that a metal fitting having a dowel projecting from a central portion thereof and a metal fitting constitute a stopper.

[0003]

As shown in FIG. 9, an example of such a fastener is frequently used in a leather handbag 1 having a folded lid 3 formed on the front side of a main body 2. Normally, the female stopper 4 is attached to the front side of the main body 2, and the male stopper 5 is attached to the back side of the folded lid 3 above,
The folded lid 3 is fastened to the main body 2 so as not to be disengaged or displaced by the suction of the two fasteners by the magnetic force and the engagement of the locking holes with the dowels.

[0004] The problem with the above-mentioned stopper is that if the folded lid 2 is repeatedly opened, the folded wrinkles 5 shown in the figure are generated on the lid 2. Most of the folds 5 are caused by the fact that there is no finger hook on the stopper, and most of the buckles 5 are hooked on the edge of the folded lid 2 having the stopper, and are attracted to the female stopper 3 by magnetic force. 4 is forcibly separated.

At the time of the separation, a strong magnetic force is required for the permanent magnet in the female fastener, and a force is required. Further, since a plurality of fingertips are attached to the edge, the edge of the lid is bent by the force at the time of separation. When this is repeatedly performed, fatigue occurs there and folds 5 are formed, and depending on the material, not only the folds 5 but also the edges are turned up, resulting in poor appearance.

The present invention has been conceived in order to solve the above-mentioned problem in the case where the above-mentioned metal fitting utilizing the magnetic force is applied to a bag such as a handbag made of a flexible material such as tanned leather. And, the purpose is to prevent the folding clasp by allowing the release operation member to be easily released by the release operation member by suction without engaging the folded lid or opening edge of the bag with a finger, Another object of the present invention is to provide a stopper which can create a new bag design by using the operation member for decoration of the bag.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a female stopper in which a ring-shaped permanent magnet is housed in a disk-shaped metal case having a locking hole at a central portion, and a female engaging member which engages with the locking hole. A male stopper made of a metal plate with a ferromagnetic dowel protruding at the center of the bag, and the decoration protrudes from the opening edge or edge of the bag at the symmetrical position of the male stopper and the female stopper. In addition, a pair of left and right opening operation members for releasing the male and female stoppers from being attracted to each other are attached with their distal ends positioned side by side at the center of the stopper so as to be easily twisted in opposite directions.

In the present invention, the female fastener and the male fastener are housed in a frame having an arbitrary shape, and the length of the frame protruding from the opening edge or the edge of the bag also serves as decoration at a symmetrical position. And a pair of left and right opening operation members for releasing the male and female stoppers from being attracted and engaged are easily twisted in directions opposite to each other, and are mounted with their distal ends positioned side by side at the center of the stopper. It is also a thing.

The operating member is attached to the case or the frame by welding an arbitrary shape formed integrally with or separately from the male stopper, and the distal end portion is spaced at a required distance from the center of the stopper as much as possible. Both are preferably provided diagonally inward so as to be positioned side by side. In this way, the operation member can be easily twisted in the opposite direction by pinching, and the twist directly acts on the stopper, so that the folded lid does not wrinkle unlike the conventional case.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 11 shows a female fastener and 21 a male fastener, which have a normal structure. FIG. 5 shows an example of the internal structure. As shown in FIG. 5, the female fastener 11 has a ring-shaped permanent magnet 14 made of ferrite housed from the back inside a thick metal case 13 having a locking hole 12 at the center. I have. A ferromagnetic core 16 protrudes from the inside of the back cover 15 made of a magnetic metal plate, and a circular seat plate 18 having attachment pieces 17 formed on both sides thereof is crimped together with the core 16 on the outside. It is provided by a stop.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a male stopper, which is provided with a ferromagnetic dowel 23 protruding from the center of a magnetic metal plate 22 which is thinner and circular than the metal case 13 and which fits into the locking hole 12. On the outside, a circular seat plate 25 having a mounting piece 24 bent at both sides is provided together with the dowel 23 by caulking.

Reference numerals 31 and 32 denote a pair of operating members for opening, which also serve as decorations, and are long mounted in the same direction at symmetrical positions of the female stopper 11 and the male stopper 21 in the same direction. Operation member 3 on female stopper 11 side
Numeral 1 is attached to the side of the metal case 13 by welding, and the operating member 32 on the male stopper 21 side is formed integrally with the magnetic metal plate 22. The length of the operation members 31 and 32 needs to be at least sufficient for the torsion ball members 31a and 32a attached to the distal end to sufficiently protrude from the opening edge or the edge of the bag.
In addition, the longer the length, the easier it is to release the suction fitting by the action of the lever.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the operating members 31, 32 are not directly attached to the female fastener 11 and the male fastener 21, but are frame bodies 41, 42 of the same thickness for accommodating them.
This is a case where the operation members 31 and 32 are mounted at symmetrical positions of.

The frame members 41 and 42 are rectangular and have receiving holes 43 and 44 for the female fastener 11 or the male fastener 21 on the surface and receiving holes 45 and 46 for the seat plates 18 and 25 on the back surface.
