Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to wristbands, saunas, and the like equipped with coins or the like with built-in ICs used as a cashless payment method when a visitor uses various facilities and services in amusement parks, amusement facilities, etc. It is related with improvement of the wristband etc. which are used in.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A large number of people enter and leave these venues at various amusement parks, amusement facilities, leisure lands or event venues where a large number of people enter. When these visitors use various paid facilities and services, they need to make payments accordingly. In the past, this is often done by giving and receiving cash each time you use each facility or service, and in some cases, you will need to purchase a set of consent tickets before entering the venue. A method of separating and passing a predetermined use ticket has been adopted.
[0003]
However, recently, with the spread of ICs having various electronic circuits in general, information devices or information terminals such as IC coins equipped with IC chips mounted on wristbands that are handed over upon entry and collected upon exit are used as a settlement medium. The method used as a payment method has been increasingly adopted as a quick, simple and labor-saving settlement method (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0004]
A typical example is the use of a synthetic resin wristband 10 with an IC coin shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B), which is integrally manufactured by injection molding using an inexpensive synthetic resin material. The advantage is that it can be easily produced at low cost and in large quantities.
[0005]
The wristband 10 includes a narrow band portion 11 and a ring portion 12 having an insertion hole 12A formed at one end of the band portion 11. The narrow end portion 11A has a narrow width at the other end of the band portion 11. Is forming. A plurality of engagement protrusions 13 are formed at a predetermined pitch on the portion of the band portion 11 near the ring portion 12, and a plurality of engagement holes 14 are formed on the portion near the tapered tip at the same pitch as the engagement protrusion 13. Is forming.
[0006]
Reference numeral 15 denotes an IC coin built-in body in which an IC coin is built. The frames 15A and 15A protrude in the vertical direction in the figure, and slits 15B and 15B are formed between the frames 15A and 15A and the built-in body 15 main body. The IC coin built-in body 15 is attached to the wristband 10 by passing the band portion 11 through the slits 15B and 15B.
[0007]
The wristband 10 equipped with the IC coin built-in body 15 is handed over to the attendee at the reception desk when entering the venue and attached to the wrist, and removed from the wrist and collected when leaving the venue.
[0008]
When attaching to the wrist, the taper 11A of the band part 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 12A of the ring part 12 to form a loop of the band part 11, and the wrist is passed through this loop, and then outward from the insertion hole 12A. After pulling out the band portion 11 that has come out, the loop is reduced to fit the wrist, and at least one engaging hole 14 is engaged and fixed by being engaged with at least one engaging hole 14. .
[0009]
When removing the wristband 10 from the wrist, the tapered portion 11A is pulled outward in the circumferential direction of the wrist to disengage the engaging protrusion 13 from the engaging hole 14, and then the tapered portion 11A of the band portion 11 is removed. Is removed from the insertion hole 12A of the ring portion 12 and removed.
[0010]
The IC chip inside the coin 15 embedded in the IC coin stores and stores the fee payment balance (in the case of prepayment), the facility usage status, the fee to be paid, etc. Payments and refunds of excess payment fees.
[0011]
The wristband 10 for IC can be securely worn when worn on the wrist, there is no risk of loss or theft, and when used, it has the advantage that it can be presented immediately without having to search and remove the pocket or handbag. is there.
[0012]
Next, as a wristband having a structure and function similar to those of the wristband 10 described above, there is a wristband 20 for wearing a key shown in FIG.
[0013]
The wristband 20 is made of rubber or vinyl chloride and has a strip shape with a thickness of about 3 mm, and is equipped with a key 24B for locking a locker such as a dressing room.
[0014]
The wristband 20 has a narrow band portion 21, a buckle 22 at one end of the band portion 21, and a narrowed end 21 </ b> A at the other end of the band portion 11. The buckle 22 includes an annular portion 22A and a needle portion 22BA, and the band portion 21 has a plurality of small holes 23 formed at a predetermined pitch in a portion near the tip 21A, and other than the small hole 23 forming portion. In this part, holes for weight reduction, material saving and sweating are appropriately opened.
[0015]
A wide enlarged portion 24 is formed in the approximate center, and a slit 24C is formed in the entire width of this portion so as to open both left and right sides.
[0016]
Then, a connecting tool such as eyelet 24A penetrating both the front and back surfaces is attached to the vicinity of the edge of one opening of slit 24C, and the hole of the head of key 24B is pivotally supported on this eyelet 24A. 24. The key 24B rotates about the eyelet 24A as an axis so that the tip can be freely inserted and removed. Therefore, when the wristband 20 is worn, the key 24B is stored in the slit 24C.
[0017]
This is to prevent the metal key 24B from being heated by the sauna and damaging the wearer. When using the key 24B, a finger is inserted from the other opening to push the key 24B out of the slit 24C.
[0018]
When the wristband 20 is worn on the wrist, the taper 21A of the band part 21 is inserted into the ring part 22A of the buckle 24 to form a loop of the band part 21, and the wrist is passed through the loop. After pulling down 21A and reducing the loop to fit the wrist, the needle portion 22B is inserted and fixed in the small hole 23 at an appropriate position.
[0019]
The wristband 20 for wearing a key for a sauna can also be securely worn when worn, and there is no worry about accidents such as loss, theft or mistaking others.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the wristbands 10 and 20 have a drawback that they are difficult to wear on the wrist.
[0022]
That is, to attach the wristband 10 for IC to the wrist, as described above, the taper 11A of the band part 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 12A of the ring part 12 to form a loop of the band part 11, After passing the wrist through the loop, the band portion 11 portion that has come out from the insertion hole 12A is drawn down to reduce the loop to fit the wrist, and then fit at least one engagement hole 14 into the at least one engagement hole 14. The mating protrusions 13 need to be engaged and fixed so as to be pushed in.
[0023]
However, when the band portion 11 inserted through the insertion hole 12A is drawn down and the loop is reduced to fit the wrist, and then the drawing force is loosened at the stage where the engagement projection 13 is pushed into the engagement hole 14, Since the loop expands due to the restoring force or repulsive force of the band portion 11 drawn in the loop shape and the band portion 11 is loosened, it is considerably difficult to push the engagement protrusion 13 into the appropriate engagement hole 14. Often needs human help. In particular, in the case of a child, it is completely impossible to wear it by itself.
[0024]
Unlike a sufficiently supple and flexible leather band as in the case of a wrist watch, the physical property restrictions of the wristband 10 made of synthetic resin are inevitable in the structure of the wristband 10 described above. .
[0025]
The sauna wristband 20 is made of rubber or vinyl chloride, but the mounting difficulty is substantially the same as that of the synthetic resin IC wristband 10 described above.
[0026]

[0028]
The wristband 1 is formed by injection molding of polyester elastomer, and is characterized by having flexibility and elasticity .
[0033]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(1) First, an embodiment of a wristband of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0034]
The wristband 1 is manufactured simply and inexpensively by injection molding of a synthetic resin having flexibility and elasticity, for example, polyester elastomer. As shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B), the wristband 1 is a narrow and long band. Formed between the band portions 2 and 2A and the locking ring portion 3 having an insertion hole 3A and an engagement protrusion 3B formed at one end of the band portions 2A and the band portions 2 and 2A. A thin plate-like mounting portion 6 is formed, and a tapered portion 2A having a narrow width is formed at the other end of the band portion 2.
[0035]
A plurality of engagement holes 4 are formed at a predetermined pitch and a fairly dense pitch from the portion close to the taper 2A of the other band portion 2 to the portion close to the mounting portion 6, and close to the locking ring portion 3. One second engagement hole 4A and a protrusion 5 are formed in this portion.
[0036]
As clearly shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the engagement protrusion 3 </ b> B is planted from the side portion on the inner side of the insertion hole 3 </ b> A (near the mounting portion 6), and the outer direction of the band portion 2 </ b> A. Inclined or bent into a substantially J shape, and its tip portion extends slightly outward from the inner wall outside the insertion hole 3A so as to cover the upper side of the insertion hole 3A and reach the side part outside the insertion hole 3A. . The engagement protrusion 3B has the same elasticity as the band portions 2 and 2A. Further, the outer inner wall of the insertion hole 3A is inclined so as to approach the engagement protrusion 3B.
[0037]
The mounting portion 6 is formed with a concave portion 6A on the surface side with a reduced thickness, so that the IC coin built-in body and the main body of the key clamp body, which will be described later, can be fitted in the concave portion 6A with good fit. Is considered.
[0038]
When this wristband 1 is attached to the wrist, the bandage 2 is removed from the insertion hole 3A by inserting the taper 2B of the band part 2 into the insertion hole 3A of the locking ring part 3, and then When this pulling is stopped, the band portion 2 automatically engages with the locking ring portion 3, so that it can be quickly and easily attached to the wrist.
[0039]
This series of movements will be described in some detail. That is, the taper 2B of the band part 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 3A of the locking ring part 3 to form a loop of the band part 2 and 2A, and the wrist is passed through the loop, and then comes out of the insertion hole 3A. When the band portion 2 is pulled down, the band portion 2 further passes while pressing the engaging protrusion 3B while warping backward, and is pulled out from the insertion hole 3A, and the loop is reduced at the thickness of the wrist.
[0040]
When the band portion 2 passes while pressing the engaging protrusion 3B, the engaging protrusion 3B acts on the engaging hole 4 like a ratchet. When the loop is reduced to a thickness that appropriately tightens the wrist, if the drawing / drawing of the band part 2 is stopped and the force is loosened, the band part 2 that has passed through the insertion hole 3A will pass through the insertion hole 3A in an attempt to naturally expand. Causes a movement to return. Then, the nearest engagement hole 4 that has passed through the engagement protrusion 3B is fitted into the engagement protrusion 3B, and the engagement protrusion 3B is pulled in the direction of the insertion hole 3A. As a result, the engagement protrusion 3B comes into contact with the outer side portion of the insertion hole 3A, and the wristband 1 is fixed to the wrist.
[0041]
The inclination of the inner wall on the outer side of the insertion hole 3A acts so that the band part 2 that has passed through the insertion hole 3A is directed toward the inner side, that is, the direction of the engagement protrusion 3B. The engagement hole 4 can be naturally and strongly fitted.
[0042]
Further, since the band portion 2 on the side of the tapered portion 2B drawn out of the insertion hole 3A protrudes in a direction away from the loop, it does not fit as it is.
[0043]
Therefore, next, when this portion is pressed against the protruding portion 5 of the band portion 2 </ b> A fixed to the wrist, the protruding portion 5 is engaged with the engaging hole 4 at a position corresponding to the protruding portion 5.
[0044]
The protrusion 5 is located at a position corresponding to the engagement hole 4 at a predetermined distance from the engagement hole 4 when the engagement protrusion 3B is fitted in a certain engagement hole 4 of the engagement protrusion 3B. Since it is provided, the protrusion 5 can be engaged with the engagement hole 4 by pressing.
[0045]
As a result, the band portion 2 on the side of the tapered portion 2B can be held in close contact with the wrist along the loop.
[0046]
Next, when removing the wristband 1 from the wrist, when the portion near the tapered portion 2B of the band portion 2 is pulled outwardly from the wrist, the engagement of the protrusion 5 with the engagement hole 4 is released, Further, the engagement hole 4 engaged from the engagement ring portion 3 engagement projection 3B is released. Therefore, the band portion 2 is slid within the insertion hole 3A to enlarge the loop while curving the band portion 2 away from the engagement protrusion 3B so that the engagement protrusion 3B does not fit into the subsequent engagement holes 4. When loosened, the wristband 1 can be easily removed from the wrist.
(2) Next, the means for attaching the IC coin to the wristband 1 according to the present invention will be described.
[0047]
The IC coin 8E is attached to the IC coin built-in body 8 shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B by an embedded type or a detachable type.
[0048]
That is, the built-in body 8 is manufactured simply and inexpensively by injection molding of a synthetic resin having flexibility and elasticity, for example, polyester elastomer, and the IC coin 8E is formed on the wide thin plate-like main body 8A formed in the center. Are attached, and slits 8B and 8B are formed at both ends thereof, and narrow strip-like legs 8C and 8C extending outward from both ends of the slits 8B and 8B are formed. The leg portions 8B and 8C are formed with locking projections 8D and 8D at their tip portions, and appropriate holes are formed in the intermediate portion for weight reduction and material saving.
[0049]
In order to attach the IC coin built-in body 8 to the wristband 1, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the band portion 2 of the wristband 1 is tapered in the slits 8B and 8B of the built-in body 8. 2A, the built-in body body 8A is positioned on the mounting portion 6 of the wristband 1, and the locking projections 8D and 8D of the leg portions 8B and 8C of the built-in body 8 are immediately connected to the mounting portion 6 of the band portion 2. The engaging hole 4 is engaged with the second engaging hole 4A of the band portion 2A.
[0050]
At this time, since the built-in body main body 8A fits in the recess 6A formed in the mounting portion 6 and is well accommodated, when the wristband 1 is wound around the wrist, the built-in body main body 8A protrudes outward and is obstructed. You can avoid becoming.
[0051]
The built-in body 8 can be attached to and detached from the wristband 1 very easily and quickly.
[0052]
In addition to this embodiment, there is a form in which the IC coin is directly attached to the mounting portion 6 of the wristband 1 in an embedded or detachable manner without providing the IC coin built-in body 8 separately.
[0053]
In that case, since it is not necessary to attach the IC coin built-in body 8, the concave portion 6A of the mounting portion 6 and the second engagement hole 4A of the band portion 2A are unnecessary.
(3) Further, means for attaching a sauna key to the wristband 1 according to the present invention will be described.
[0054]
The key 9H is sandwiched between the key sandwiching bodies 9 shown in FIG.
[0055]
In other words, the sandwiched body 9 is manufactured easily and inexpensively by injection molding of a synthetic resin having flexibility and elasticity, for example, polyester elastomer, at the end of the wide thin plate-shaped main body 9A formed at the center. In addition, slits 9B and 9B are formed, and narrow strip-like leg portions 9C and 9C are formed to protrude outside the slits 9B and 9B. The leg portions 9C and 9C are formed with locking projections 9D and 9D at the end portions thereof, and appropriate holes are opened in the intermediate portion for weight reduction and material saving.
[0056]
The main body 9A of the sandwiching body 9 is formed with slits 9E in its entire width so as to open both the left and right sides.
[0057]
Then, a part of one edge of the slit 9E that is close to one end (close to the lower end in FIG. 5) protrudes outward and penetrates both the front and back surfaces of the base of the protrusion 9F. A connecting tool such as an eyelet 9G is attached, and a hole in the head of the key 9H is pivotally supported by the eyelet 9J. The key 9H is sandwiched between the sandwiching body main body 9A. The key 9H rotates about the eyelet 9G as an axis, so that the tip can be inserted and removed freely.
[0058]
The method for attaching the key clamp 9 to the wristband 1 is the same as the case of the IC coin built-in body 8 described above, and the description thereof will be omitted.
[0059]
The sandwich body 9 can be attached to and detached from the wristband 1 very easily and quickly.
[0060]
In addition to this embodiment, there is a form in which the key is directly attached to the mounting portion 6 of the wristband 1 without providing the key clamp 9 separately.
[0061]
In this case, in the wristband, in place of the structure of the mounting portion 6 of the wristband 1 described above, the structure of the enlarged portion 24 of the above-described conventional sauna wristband 20 to which the key can be freely inserted and removed is directly used as a wristband. What is necessary is just to apply and combine to the band 1. In this case, since it is not necessary to attach the key clamp body 9, the second engagement hole 4A of the band portion 2A is unnecessary. This wristband is also easily and inexpensively manufactured by injection molding of a flexible and elastic synthetic resin such as polyester elastomer.
[0062]
【The invention's effect】
The wristband according to the present invention configured as described above can be easily and quickly and surely worn by the wearer with one touch on his / her wrist, and even a child can wear it alone.
[0063]
In addition, the wristband can be easily and quickly removed from the wrist of the wristband with one touch after use.
[0064]
Further, the wristband can be worn well when the IC coin wearing body and the key holding body are attached.
[0065]
Furthermore, the IC coin mounting body and key holding body of the present invention can be attached to and detached from the wristband simply, quickly and reliably with a single touch.
