Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a clip attachment device for portable audio equipment.

Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, compact audio equipment has become smaller and thinner, and there is a strong demand for portability. There are pockets for carrying devices, clips for attaching devices to clothing, and rings for hanging devices with chains, strings, etc. However, conventional devices only have a clip or a ring, and even if two are provided, they are provided in separate locations, the method of attachment must be considered separately, and there are many parts. Moreover, it required a large number of assembly man-hours.

Purpose of the invention This invention provides a ring in the same place as the clip,
To provide a clip attachment device which fixes a ring at the same time as the clip attachment, facilitates assembly, and enables two different states when carried.

Structure of the invention The invention consists of combining bearings installed upright in the case and the clip so that their respective shaft holes match up, inserting the shaft, and fitting the coil part of the torsion coil spring onto this shaft to generate the torsion coil spring. At the same time, the biasing force of the torsion coil spring is applied between the case and the clip, and the biasing portion of the torsion coil spring elastically contacts both straight portions of the substantially Ω-shaped ring body with the clip, and the biasing force of the torsion coil spring is applied between the case and the clip. The ring body is constructed so that it can be rotated around the straight part, and the locking function with a clip and other mobile functions by passing a chain etc. through the ring body are achieved with a simple configuration. It is something.

FIG. 3 is a back view. 1a is a bearing provided on the clip 1, 1b is a shaft hole, 1c is a long hole, and 1f is a ring storage portion provided on the clip 1 and having an inclination. 1d is a convex portion that guides the spring, and 1e is an edge portion provided at the tip of the clip 1. FIG. 4A is a plan view of the case body 4 of the portable audio device, and FIG. 4A is a sectional view taken along the line D--D in FIG. 4a is the case body 4
4b is a shaft hole, and 4c is a hole provided in a part of the case body 4.

FIG. 5 is an assembly perspective view showing the procedure for attaching the clip 1 and ring 3 to the case body 4 using the torsion coil spring 2 and shaft 5. ring 3
A rotating shaft portion 3a for rotational movement is formed. 2a of the torsion coil spring 2 is a coil part provided on the left and right, 2b is one elastic biasing part provided on the left and right, and 2c is the other elastic biasing part, which connects the two coils. The shaft 5 is made of a spring pin or the like, and is used to rotatably attach the case body 4 and the flip 1.

The assembly procedure will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. Note that FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 1.
First, the ring 3 is inserted into the elongated hole 1c of the clip 1. At this time, the ring 3 is locked by the rotating shaft portion 3a, and is temporarily fixed. Next, the torsion coil spring 2 is inserted around the protrusion 1d provided on the clip 1 for guiding the spring, and at this point the torsion coil spring 2 is positioned.
At this time, the elastic biasing portion 2c of the torsion coil spring 2
is in contact with the rotating portion 3a of the ring 3.

Next, the outside of the bearing 4a of the case body 4 is made to correspond to the inside of the bearing 1a of the clip 1, and the respective shaft holes 4b and 1b are aligned. And finally axis 5
is press-fitted in communication with the shaft hole 4b and the shaft hole 1b.
As shown in FIG. 6, the shaft 5 is a bearing 4 of the case body 4.
a, passes through the bearing 1a of the clip 1 and the coil portion 2a of the screw coil spring 2, and holds them rotatably.

Further, in the assembly procedure, the torsion coil spring 2 may be attached last. To explain this, the 8th
The figure shows a state in which the clip 1 with the ring 3 inserted is attached to the case body 4 by the shaft 5.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the case body 4 viewed from the inner surface. In other words, the torsion coil spring 2 can be attached from the inner surface of the case body 4 through the hole 4c. Insert the biasing part 2c of the torsion coil spring 2 through the hole 4c until it hits the clip 1, and then insert the biasing part 2c of the torsion coil spring 2.
into shaft 5. Next, insert the other biasing part 2b between the case body 4 and the clip 1. At this time, the biasing portion 2b is in contact with the outside of the hole 4c of the case body 4 in the attached position, so that it will not come off.
When removing the clip, use the hole 4c in the case body.
This can be done by pushing the shaft 5 out in the directions of arrows B and C.

The operation of the clip attachment device of this embodiment constructed as described above will be explained with reference to FIG. First, when the upper tip 1g of the clip 1 is pressed in the direction of arrow A against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 2, the lower tip 1h of the clip 1 rotates about the shaft 5 on which the clip 1 is attached. A gap is created between the case body 4 and the case body 4. Next, when the pressure in the direction of arrow A is removed, the lower end portion 1h of the clip 1 is urged toward the cabinet body 4 by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 2. When the upper tip 1g of the clip 1 is pushed in the direction of arrow A, the edge 1e hits the case body 4, thereby determining the size of the gap between the lower tip 1h of the clip 1 and the case body 4. There is. Further, the ring 3 is pressed and held against the clip by the elastic biasing portion 2c of the torsion coil spring 2. It is possible to rotate the clip 1 by a range Y determined by the size of the ring storage portion 1f of the clip 1 using the rotating shaft portion 3a as a support shaft.

According to the above embodiment, clip 1 and ring 3
can be rotatably held by a single component, the torsion coil spring 2, making assembly work easier.

Effects of the invention In this invention, the linear parts of the approximately Ω-shaped ring body are held in elastic contact with the clip by the biasing part of a torsion coil spring, so that the ring body can be made rotatable. It is very convenient to carry, as it can be carried around with a string, and it can also be clipped onto something to lock it. Furthermore, such functions can be realized with a simple configuration and assembly is easy, so it is of great industrial value.
