Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a shirt collar clip that is worn when a shirt that has been washed at home is hung and is shaped into a straight flat surface for easy drying.

  Except for special collars called stand collars, ordinary shirts are worn with the collar part sewn on the shirt body folded outward. Of this folded part, the particularly wide collar front part will be deformed if it is simply washed and dried. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a state in which the front portion of the collar is finished straight. On the other hand, FIG. 6 is a front view showing a state in which the front part of the collar is bent outward. FIG. 7 is a front view showing a state in which the front part of the collar is curled inward. Thus, the front part of the collar is easily deformed, and the deformed one is unsightly. On the other hand, the rear part of the collar is worn around the neck, so it is not noticeable even if there is some deformation. To finish the collar straight, it is best to ask a cleaning shop to finish it, but it costs money. In order to finish it cleanly at home, it was necessary to finish it by ironing it after washing and drying, which required time and some skill, which was a big burden mainly for housewives who do this work.

As countermeasures, a collar support plate is inserted into the folded back part of the front and back of the collar, and a pair of sandwiching tools that are shaped by sandwiching the front part of the collar are provided. There is a shirt press composed of a connector that can be hung on a bag. However, depending on this method, it takes time to insert a collar support plate into the back of the collar, and to attach a clamp, and the number of parts increases and the manufacturing cost increases. There was an increasing problem. In addition, because of the large number of parts, the storage space for multiple purchases also increased, and as a tool used only for shirts, there were factors that hindered both the commercialization and the willingness to purchase as a whole due to increased costs. . (For example, patent document 1 etc.).
JP-A-7-144097

  The problem to be solved is the deformation of the entire collar of the shirt, especially the front of the collar that is easily deformed and visible to others. By minimizing the tools to be purchased, it is easy to purchase by reducing the production cost, and the storage space is also reduced. Furthermore, by reducing the number of parts, the time and labor required for mounting are minimized.

  The present invention attaches the entire front part of the collar between the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate when the washed shirt is dried, and dries while keeping the front part of the collar flat without deformation. And, it is characterized by finishing the front part of the collar straight without deformation.

  FIG. 8 shows the principle of the present invention and is a side view showing the front part of the collar sandwiched between the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate in the direction of the arrow in the figure. The front part of the collar is pressed against the inner flat surface of the outer presser plate and dried in the same manner. In addition, by being sandwiched between the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate, the folded back part of the shirt body and the front part of the collar is firmly creased. As shown in the figure, the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate always hold the front part of the collar as shown in the figure. . Although not shown in order to obtain the closing action, it can be easily obtained by using a spring made of metal or plastic. The collar portion of the shirt is formed by intricately stitching the fabrics, but the overlapping of fabrics and seams are not shown. In order to open the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate, it is easy to use a handle as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in the side view of FIG. 9, a structure may be adopted in which the handle is not provided and the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate are held by the fingertips. There is an effect to make it smaller. Further, in FIG. 9, an auxiliary fulcrum is provided separately from the fulcrum at one end. This is because when the outer presser plate and the inner presser plate sandwich the front part of the collar, the angle is automatically changed around the auxiliary fulcrum, and a force to sandwich more parallel is applied. In the experiment, it was effective in the case of a collar using a specially thick fabric. In a normal shirt, the front of the collar could be dried to a flat surface without an auxiliary fulcrum.

  Furthermore, in order to minimize the construction of a tool dedicated to a shirt, the present invention provides a connector for using a hanger that is common in the home. By connecting two shirt collar clips attached to the front of the left and right collars using a connector, the front of the shirt will be closed without closing the shirt buttons. Put the hanger inside and hang the hanger on a clothesline. As a result, the shirt can be removed and the conventional hanger can be used as it is for a person who hangs the shirt on the hanger. As a method of use, it was easiest to connect a connecting tool in advance and to attach two shirt collar clips to a shirt previously hung on a hanger.

  Furthermore, the present invention uses a clothesline tool with a lot of clothespins in the frame, which is called a hanger with a pinch, which is common in the home, as another method for minimizing the composition of a tool dedicated to a shirt. A fixing tool is provided. By attaching the clothespin to the fixture, the force of pressing with the clothespin works effectively, and the person who dries the shirt with the clothespin can use the clothespin as usual. As a method of use, it was easiest to attach two shirt collar clips to the clothespin of a pinch hanger in advance and attach the two shirt collar clips to the shirt.

  Furthermore, the present invention is another method for minimizing the composition of a tool dedicated to a shirt. In order to hang a shirt using only a clothesline or a clothesline that is common in the home, a suspension is provided to provide two shirt collars. Secure the clip. Thereby, since two collar collars for shirts are held in a shape straddling the clothesline by hanging the hanging tool on the clothesline, two shirt collar clips may be attached to the shirt.

  Three different functions of the connecting tool, the fixing tool, and the hanging tool may be used as a collar clip for a shirt provided with each, but both the connecting tool and the fixing tool are provided, and further, the lifting tool is provided. A collar clip for a shirt having all functions may be used, and thus, it is possible to cope with various uses of the user, such as using a hanger, using a clothespin, or using only a clothesline.

  The collar clip for the shirt of the present invention is dried while pressing the wet collar front part in a flat shape with an outer presser plate and an inner presser plate, and the inner shape of the outer presser plate is not deformed without drying the front part of the collar. It can be finished flat as usual. When the laundry is mixed with the washing water and washed with a collar clip for a shirt and dried, the effect of maintaining a flat state by finishing the front of the collar hard is increased. In addition, when the laundry is finished and dried, a spray-type laundry paste is applied to the front of the collar and then a shirt collar clip is attached. Only the collar clip for a shirt of the present invention can make the front part of the collar flat without deformation, and it can be hard and durable by using a laundry glue. Whether you use laundry glue or not, you don't need ironing after drying. Furthermore, the shirt collar clip according to the present invention finishes only the front of the collar that is easily visible to others, and can be used as it is with the clothespin attached to an existing hanger, clothespin, or pinched hanger. This reduces the manufacturing cost and purchasing cost of the tool and reduces the storage space.

  FIG. 10 is a perspective view for explaining a state in which a part of the configuration of the present invention is omitted, and the collar front portion 10 of the shirt is sandwiched between the outer presser plate 1a and the inner presser plate 1b. The shirt body 12 is also largely omitted from illustration, and the borders and seams between the fabric of the shirt body 12 and the fabric forming the collar portion are also omitted, and the periphery of the collar front portion 10 on one side is shown. At this time, it is important that the inner side of the outer presser plate 1a contacting the front collar portion 10 is a flat surface without irregularities. If there are irregularities, the irregular pattern is transferred to the dried collar front portion 10. On the other hand, the portion of the inner presser plate 1b that is in contact with the shirt may be flat, but even if the unevenness is transferred, if the shirt is worn, it cannot be seen from the outside, so a slit is provided as shown in FIG. Making the ventilation holes by making it into a mesh shape can be performed without delaying the drying of the collar front part 10. Also in the inner presser plate 1b, the local unevenness causes an imbalance in the force for pressing the collar front part 10, so that the entire surface is flat and a continuous unevenness, that is, a slit or mesh structure is formed therein. Is preferred. In addition, providing continuous unevenness on the surface of the inner presser plate 1b that contacts the shirt has an effect of preventing the shirt from being firmly sandwiched.

  The areas of the inner sides of the outer presser plate 1a and the inner presser plate 1b are preferably shaped so that the large collar front part 10 is also sandwiched because the shape of the collar front part 10 of the shirt varies. The length around the collar does not need to be pinched up to the collar rear part 11, but covers the part from the side next to the neck to the collar front part 10. In particular, since it is the very tip of the collar front part 10 that is easily deformed, a length of 5 cm to 10 cm is sufficient, but a sufficient effect can be obtained. However, as the length is further increased, it becomes difficult to put the hanger 13 inside. A width of 7 cm to 9 cm is appropriate because it is necessary to sandwich the widest part of the front part 10 of the collar that widens forward as it goes in the direction of the wearer's throat. However, according to the width of the collar front part 10, when manufacturing and selling items with different widths, such as for narrow width and wide width, or for special wide width shirts only for general width shirts When it makes object, it is not necessary to limit to the range of 7 cm-9 cm.

  Protrusions 6 for preventing disengagement can be provided at the ends of the outer presser plate 1a and the inner presser plate 1b. FIG. 11 is a side view showing an example in which the protrusion 6 is provided at a position at the end of the outer presser plate 1a so as not to contact the inner presser plate 1b. The width across the entire collar front portion 10 is a distance represented by W1 in the figure, and the protrusion 6 is provided outside W1. There is an effect that the shirt body 12 (not shown) is bent and sandwiched, and the shirt is not easily detached even with a weak clamping force. FIG. 12 is a side view showing an example in which the protrusion 6 is formed in a range where the outer presser plate 1a and the inner presser plate 1b are in contact with each other. In this case, the height of the protrusion 6 is greater than the thickness of the fabric of the collar front portion 10. If the collar front part 10 cannot be sandwiched unless it is lowered, it is necessary to sandwich the collar front part 10 so as not to contact the protrusions 6. Therefore, the width across the collar front part 10 is W2 in the figure. The distance represented. In the experiment, as shown in FIG. 11, it was easier to perform the operation of sandwiching the collar front portion 10 when the protrusion 6 was provided at a position where it did not contact the inner presser plate 1b. Further, the protrusion 6 may be provided not on the outer presser plate 1a side but on the inner presser plate 1b side.

  FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing two shirt collar clips according to the present invention in which the connector 2 is provided. A handle 4 for opening and closing the outer presser plate 1a and the inner presser plate 1b around the fulcrum 5 is provided. Although not shown, both the outer presser plate 1a and the inner presser plate 1b press the inner side inside the fulcrum 5. Built-in spring for acting in the closing direction. Further, even if the spring is not built-in, for example, although not shown, it is possible to provide a ring-shaped spring so as to be exposed to the outside like a commercially available laundry clip. A connector 2 is provided at the end of the outer presser plate 1a. There is no problem even if the connector 2 is formed at the end of the inner presser plate 1b. Since there are two shirt collar front portions 10 on the left and right, two shirt collar clips are required for one shirt. The connector 2 in FIG. 13 is an example, and is formed of a ring-shaped plastic. One side is a closed ring, and one side has a notch slightly shorter than the cross-sectional diameter of the ring, and a closed ring without a notch is inserted and connected here. After the connection, the perspective view shown in FIG. 14 is obtained.

  In FIG. 14, in two shirt collar clips, the connector 2 is provided not only at one end but also at both ends. This is to prevent the shirt collar clip from being limited to the right side or the left side when the connector 2 is only at one end. That is, since the outer presser plate 1a must come to the side where the collar front part 10 is pressed, it can be used on the right side and the left side when the connector 2 is at both ends. Thereby, although two shirt collar clips are required for one shirt, it is possible to prevent a situation in which both cannot be used if one is broken. Moreover, it is not limited to sale of two sets, and sale by one is also possible. As another method of sharing the shirt collar clip on the left and right, there is a method in which not only the outer presser plate 1a but also the inner presser plate 1b has a flat surface inside the inner presser plate 1b, but the drying of the collar portion is slow. In order to prevent the shirt from coming off, it is necessary to reinforce the spring to be pressed or to provide a function for preventing the coming off as shown by the protrusion 6 in FIG. In addition, the connection tool 2 does not need to be ring-shaped in shape, and may be connected by being tied as a carabiner-like shape, a clip shape, or a string shape. Various materials can be used, but it is preferable to unify the entire shirt collar clip into a plastic material in terms of disposal and cost reduction.

  FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing a shirt collar clip provided with a fixture 3 that is fixed with a laundry pin so that it does not easily come off. In this embodiment, the fixture 3 is provided as a part of the handle 4. The condition which comprises the fixing tool 3 is making the force pinched | interposed with a laundry clip act more effectively. FIG. 16 is a side view showing a use state of a general laundry clip. In this figure, a relatively thick supported object 20 is sandwiched, but in this case, the ring-shaped spring 14c opens widely, and a restoring force to return to the original works greatly, and the supported object 20 is strongly sandwiched while being supported. Since the contact area between the portion 14a and the supported object 20 is small and the frictional force is small, when the supported object 20 is pulled, it is easily detached from the laundry nip. FIG. 17 is a side view of a laundry pinch when a thin supported object 20 such as a shirt is pinched. Since the supported object 20 is thin, the contact area with the support part 14a is increased, but it is used at a position where the restoring force of the ring-shaped spring 14c is small. In this case, the supported object 20 is easily pulled.

  The fixing tool 3 used for the shirt collar clip according to the present invention counters the above-mentioned problem. FIG. 18 is a side view showing the usage state of the laundry nip, in which only the supported object 20 is shown in a sectional view. The supported object 20 has a portion having a thicker cross section than the portion sandwiched between the support portions 14a at the tip, and this portion enters into the escape portion 14b of the laundry clip. Thereby, when it is going to pull out the to-be-supported object 20 toward the downward direction of a figure, the part which entered in the escape part 14b is caught, and cannot be removed easily. This shape is utilized in the shirt collar clip fixture 3 shown in FIG. The tip shape of the fixture 3 entering the escape portion 14b in FIG. 18 does not need to be circular in cross section as shown in FIG. 18, and may be square and has a cross-sectional thickness larger than that sandwiched between the support portions 14a. It is important to increase the size. However, it is necessary to pinch the grip 14d of the laundry nip and keep it within a range that can pass through the open gap when the distance between the support portions 14a and 14a is maximized.

  Further, FIG. 19 is a side view showing a state in which the ring-shaped supported object 20 is sandwiched between the laundry nips. Since the supported object 20 has a ring shape, a part of the ring shape enters the escape portion 14b in a state of being sandwiched between washing nips, and the support portion 14a has nothing sandwiched in the ring shape. It is in a state. The figure shows a state in which the left and right support portions 14a and 14a are closed and in contact with each other. In either case, there is an effect similar to that of the embodiment of FIG. 18, and the portion that enters the escape portion 14b is caught and cannot be easily removed. FIG. 20 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a shirt collar clip provided with a fixture 3 having this structure. Moreover, the fixture 3 is raised from the inner presser plate 1b with a thin wire-shaped plastic material so that the direction can be changed flexibly. Although two fixing tools 3 are provided in the same figure, one may be sufficient, or may be provided with a structure fixed to the outer presser plate 1a or the handle 4 or the like. Since two shirt collar clips are used for one shirt, a total of two fasteners 3 are fixed to the clothespin, and this can sufficiently withstand strong wind. As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the fixing device 3 is not limited to a ring shape as long as the fixing device 3 has a structure in which it is caught by the escape portion 14 b of the laundry nip.

  In the example in which the fixing tool 3 of FIGS. 15 and 20 is provided, the connecting tool 2 is also provided as an example. However, both the fixing tool 3 and the connecting tool 2 may be provided in this manner. Since the fixing tool 3 and the connecting tool 2 have different functions and purposes, when both are provided, the user can hang the shirt with a hanger or use a clothespin. On the manufacturing side, the number of shirt collar clips can be reduced to reduce development and manufacturing costs. In FIG. 20, the fixing device 3 has a flexible wire shape, but when not in use, a method of folding and holding it in the handle 4 or the inner presser plate 1 b is also possible. By doing so, in the collar clip for shirts that has both the fixing device 3 and the connecting device 2, when using either function, the function that is not used is stored compactly so as not to get in the way. Can do.

  FIG. 21 is a perspective view showing a shirt collar clip in which two shirt collar clips are connected to each other and provided with a hanging tool 7 for hanging on the clothesline 16 as it is. The hanger 7 is an example of fixing by heat fusion through a hole provided at an end of the handle 4. The hanger 7 is not limited to fixing by heat fusion, and may be detachable. Moreover, you may provide in places other than the handle 4 and is not restricted to the structure which lets a hole pass. However, it is more effective to prevent the shirt from rotating and wrapping around by the wind if it is formed in a belt shape whose cross-sectional shape is rectangular or elliptical as shown in the figure. When the cross section is circular, rotation by wind tends to occur unless a hard material is used. Various materials can be used as the lifting tool 7, but in the case of a plastic material, low-density polyethylene has flexibility and is easy to handle.

  As a material of each part constituting the collar clip for a shirt according to the present invention, metal, particularly aluminum which is light and easy to process may be used. However, it is preferable to use plastics which are widely used in laundry tools such as a laundry clip. Most suitable. If plastic molding technology is used, individual parts may be molded and assembled, but the outer presser plate 1a and the connector 2 are integrally molded, or the outer presser plate 1a, the connector 2 and the fixture 3 are integrally molded. As such, it is possible to reduce the types of molding dies by devising the shape of each part.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention. Two shirt collar clips provided with handles 4, which are hidden in the figure but sandwiched between the left and right collar front parts 10, and two shirt collar clips are connected by a connector 2 provided at the end. is doing. Thereby, even if the button of the shirt is removed, the front portion of the shirt cannot be opened. Therefore, if the hanger 13 is inserted, the shirt does not come off the hanger 13. The hook 13a of the hanger 13 may be applied to a clothesline or a clothesline. There are cases where the hook 13a may come off the clothesline due to strong winds, etc., but there are various products that deal with this, and one of the objects of the present invention is to minimize tools that can only be used for shirts. From the point of view of the configuration, the present invention does not have a function of preventing the hook 13a and the laundry basket from coming off.

  FIG. 2 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention. Two shirt collar clips provided with a handle 4 are fixed with a front collar 10 which is hidden in FIG. Furthermore, each of the shirt collar clips is provided with one flexible fastener 3 which is fixed by a laundry clip 14. The laundry pin 14 is a hanger with a pinch or the like, which means that a large number of the laundry pin 14 hangs down from the frame with the chain 15 or the like, and is attached to the laundry tool. In addition, many other clothespins 14 are not shown. According to the present embodiment, the shirt is fixed by sandwiching the front collar 10, and is further fixed to the laundry scissors 14 at two locations by the fixture 3, so that the front collar 10 can be held in a flat state without being easily displaced. It can be dried as it is.

  FIG. 3 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention. Two shirt collar clips provided with a handle 4 are fixed with a front collar 10 which is hidden in FIG. Furthermore, each of the shirt collar clips is provided with one flexible fastener 3 which is fixed by a laundry clip 14. The laundry pin 14 is a hanger with a pinch or the like, which means that a large number of the laundry pin 14 hangs down from the frame with the chain 15 or the like, and is attached to the laundry tool. In addition, many other clothespins 14 are not shown. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the collar clip for a shirt provided with the connector 2 is used, and in addition to this embodiment, two ways of using the hanger to hold the shirt can be used. According to the present embodiment, the shirt is fixed by sandwiching the front collar 10, and is further fixed to the laundry scissors 14 at two locations by the fixture 3, so that the front collar 10 can be held in a flat state without being easily displaced. It can be dried as it is. In addition, since the front of the shirt is closed by connecting the connector 2, there is an effect of preventing the shirt from being turned upside down due to wind.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. Two shirt collar clips provided with a handle 4 are fixed with a front collar 10 which is hidden in FIG. Further, the two shirt collar clips are connected by a hanging tool 7, and the shirt is hung by hanging the hanging tool 7 on the clothesline 16. Further, in the embodiment shown in the figure, a connecting tool 2 and a fixing tool 3 are also provided as shirt collar clips. The connector 2 is an example in which a clip-like one that can be opened and closed with one touch is provided, and the fixture 3 shows an example in which one end is attached near the handle 4 and can be rotated. In other words, when not in use, it will not get in the way. In the figure, the fixtures 3 are provided at two locations, and each of them is rotated so as to be in different positions.
