Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in a locking piece attachment device.

More specifically, the locking piece attachment device is equipped with a guide device to prevent the locking piece from getting caught on objects such as clothing when operating the attachment device, or to prevent it from being able to be fed on the attachment device. This is what we provide. The locking piece attaching device is widely known as a so-called tag attacher.

This locking piece attachment device inserts a group of synthetic resin locking pieces, which are made of a head, a filament, and a locking piece made of wisteria, connected in a comb shape with connecting combs, into the guide groove of the attachment device, and then inserts the locking pieces into the guide groove of the attachment device. By pulling it out, the horizontal bar of the locking piece sticks to the back side of the target object, such as clothing, and by returning the mechanism and filament to the T-shaped original shape, it is possible to attach a price tag to the target object, or to attach a price tag to the target object, such as slippers, etc. A similar operation method is used to combine multiple items such as gloves or socks into one. Each locking piece consists of a head, a filament part, and a side bar, which are integrally molded into an H shape from synthetic resin.

For convenience of molding and handling, the locking piece group is manufactured by erecting, for example, 30 to 50 locking pieces in the shape of a connecting rod. However, in conventional groups of locking pieces, there are 30 to 50 locking pieces as mentioned above, and if they are longer than that, various problems will occur, so it is preferable to use a group of locking pieces that have short connecting pieces, that is, a relatively small number of locking pieces. I could only use it. However, due to the increase in the number of operations for continuously attaching large quantities of price tags, etc., Takeuchika increased the length of the connecting rods by two to three times the conventional length, and increased the number of locking pieces to 100 to 150, and in some cases 20. A group of locking pieces that were made as long as a locking pin and were driven in continuously came to be used.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a long locking piece group 2 is driven into an object by a secondary locking piece attaching device 1 to attach a price tag.

In the conventional locking piece attachment device 1, since there is no part to guide or hold the free end of the locking piece group 2, the locking piece group 2
, for example, 2' or 2'', and also swings back and forth with respect to the plane of the paper, making it extremely difficult to operate.

When this locking piece group 2 swings as shown in Fig. 1, its head, side, or in some cases, connecting wires often get caught on the target object, such as clothing, causing thread breakage or fraying. Ta. In addition, as shown in Figure 1, the locking piece group 2 swings back and forth and left and right as the driving operation is performed, making it very difficult to operate. It also had the disadvantage of tiring the workers involved. The locking piece attachment device of the present invention includes a device body, and a guide member on the upper part of the device body that supports a group of locking pieces along the device body, and the group of locking pieces includes a head, Fuji stick and
A locking piece made of a filament that connects the head and the mechanism, a connecting part extending perpendicularly from the horizontal bar in the direction of extension of the filament, and a connecting part that connects the horizontal bar and the connecting part at the end of the connecting part. connecting rods each extending vertically to connect the locking pieces, the guide member comprising a protection guide and a support guide, the protection guide comprising a first wall extending upward from the top surface of the device body; , a second wall extending from the first wall to cover the top surface of the apparatus main body, and the second wall has a third wall extending downward substantially parallel to the first wall. a first piece having an L-shaped cross section and extending along the first wall;
a second piece extending along the second wall, the tip of the second piece being pivotally supported on the device body, and the third wall and the first piece being connected to the horizontal bar. It is characterized by being located between and a continuous ridge.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a side view of the locking piece group attachment device of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a front view thereof. The locking piece group attachment device 1 includes a device main body 4 and a guide member 16, and the guide member 16 includes a protection guide 8 and a support guide 9.

A guide groove 7 is opened in the front part of the main body 4, and the locking piece group 2 is inserted into this part.

This guide groove 7 is also provided in the conventional locking piece attachment device, and is closed at the top. A protective guide 8 extends from the upper part of the main body 4, and a support guide 9 is provided between the lower part of the protective guide 8 and the upper part of the main body 4. As shown in FIG. 4, this protective guide 8 is made up of a first wall 8a extending upward from the top surface of the device main body 4, and a second wall 8b extending from the first wall 8a to cover the top surface of the device main body 4. The second wall 8b is provided at a position slightly rearward from the position above the guide groove 7 to facilitate insertion of the locking piece group. The second wall 8b also has a third wall 8c extending downwardly substantially parallel to the first wall 8a. The support guide 9 has an L-shaped cross section and includes a first piece 9a extending along the first wall 8a and a second wall 8.
A second piece 9b extending along M, and a first piece 9b.
The tip of a is pivoted to the main body 4 by a pin 10, and a pin 11 passes through a groove 13 in the protective guide 8 at the middle part to ensure vertical movement, and a spring is installed at the rear. 12 is provided so as to always press the support guide 9 toward the second wall 8b of the protection guide 8 with elastic force. FIG. 4 shows the AA cross section in FIG. The first piece 9a of the guide 9 is located between the horizontal camellia P and the connecting shank P2.

In this zero state, the horizontal plate P of the locking piece group P is the third
located along the surface of the wall 8c and the first piece 9a,
By supporting this horizontal plane P on these surfaces, the locking piece group P is prevented from wobbling. A connecting rod P2 provided for connecting a large number of locking pieces is located inside the protective guide 8 and the supporting guide 9. A connecting portion P3 for connecting the locking piece and the connecting rod P2 is located in the opposing gap between the first pieces 9a.

The support guide 9 has a first piece 9a whose tip is pivoted by a pin 10, and the protective guide 8 is attached to the middle part of the support guide 9.
A pin 11 having a knob 14 protruding from a groove 13 provided in the pin 11
is provided, and by pushing down this knob 14, the swinging end of the support guide 9 is pushed down, and the locking piece group P is supported by the protection guide 8 and the support guide 9, or released. It is possible.

Next, the operating method of the present invention will be described. First, insert the lower end of the locking piece group P into the guide groove 7 of the locking piece group attachment device 1, push down the knob 14 to push down the support guide 9, and the third wall 8c
After widening the opening between the first piece 9a of the support guide 9 and the first piece 9a of the support guide 9, the locking piece group P is inserted in a state in which the connecting bar P2 is exposed.

When the knob 14 is released, the support guide 9 is raised by the spring, and the locking group P is loaded into the locking piece attachment device 1 in the state shown in FIG.

When the locking piece group P is loaded into the locking piece attaching device 1, the locking piece group P is loaded along the protection guide 8 in a curved state. FIG. 5 shows the state in which the locking piece attachment device of the present invention is used. For example, a slipper 15
When driving a locking piece using the locking piece attachment device 1, the locking piece group P is curved upwards in the attachment device 1 as shown in this figure, and the connecting rod and horizontal birch are connected to the protective guide 8. Since the slipper is protected by the support guide 9, there is no possibility that the locking piece will get caught on the front part 15a of the slipper. Such a situation also occurs when attaching a price tag to the sleeve of clothes, for example, but since the locking piece can be prevented from coming into contact with the target object, such as clothing, as much as possible, there is no possibility of thread breakage or breakage of clothing. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent things from getting caught. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the protective guide 8 is molded integrally with the main body 4 from synthetic resin, and a supporting guide 9 made from synthetic resin is pivotally attached thereto. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the support guide 9 may be made of a soft elastic material such as rubber,
If this is fixed to the protection guide 8, by bending the support guide 9, it is possible to attach and detach the group of long locking pieces in the same way as described above.

Alternatively, the protective guide 8 and the main body 4 can be molded separately and assembled by inserting the projection of the protective guide 8 into a hole provided in the main body 4. According to such an assembly type structure, it is possible to implement the present invention by only slightly modifying a conventionally used locking piece attaching device.

As described above, according to the present invention, the guide member 16 consisting of the protection guide 8 and the support guide 9 is provided above the main body 4,
Since the third wall 8c of the protection guide 8 and the first piece 9a of the support guide 9 are located between the crosspiece P and the connecting shell P2, the first
wall 8a, second wall 8b, third wall 8c, first piece 9a
The connecting rod P2 of the locking piece group is located in the space formed by the second piece 9b, and the third wall 8c and the first piece 9a
A horizontal birch is in contact with the outer surface of the locking piece, and a group of locking pieces is loaded.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 1, it is possible to prevent the long locking piece group from wobbling and the resulting obstacles such as thread breakage and snagging of clothes, etc., and also to smoothly transfer the locking piece group to the attachment device. . Furthermore, in the locking piece group according to the present invention, since the connecting rod is horizontal and perpendicular to the connecting portion, the head and the head rod of each connecting piece are connected to the connecting rod in a comb shape, for example, while facing each other. ing. Therefore, since it is possible to use a long locking piece group formed by molding a large number of locking pieces together, it is possible to load the longest locking pieces, and it is easy to drive a large number of locking pieces in a continuous operation. can be done.

In addition, when a long locking piece group is used in a conventional device,
As this group of locking pieces swings significantly as shown in Fig. 1, the heads and filament portions of the individual locking pieces often get tangled, but in the present invention, swinging of the group of locking pieces can be almost completely prevented. , it is possible to prevent the respective locking pieces from becoming entangled with each other.

Furthermore, in the locking piece attaching device of the present invention, the protective guide is
It consists of only a wall, a second wall, and a third wall, and the support guide consists of the first piece and the second piece, and the locking piece group is controlled by the guide member consisting of the protection guide and the support guide. The structure is extremely simple as it only needs to be supported along the main body of the device.

The device main body and the guide member can be integrally molded, for example, from synthetic resin, and the guide member can also be easily attached to a conventional device main body. Therefore, the device of the present invention:
It can be manufactured cheaply and easily.

Furthermore, the device of the present invention not only has a simple structure, but also is extremely easy to operate when loading the locking piece group.

Loading can be easily carried out by simply inserting the locking piece group so that the connecting portion of the locking piece group is located in the gap between the third wall of the protection guide and the first piece of the support guide.
