Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a strap adapter for adapting a strap to be connected to a portable electronic device such as an audio device to various connectors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a magneto-optical disk player (MO)
In an audio device such as a (player), a small insertion hole for connecting a base end portion of a strap is formed at an end portion of the device main body, and the strap makes it possible to easily carry the audio device. I have.

[0003]

However, when carrying the audio equipment, besides a method of directly holding the strap connected to the audio equipment by hand, for example, the audio equipment may be suspended from the neck by a belt or a key holder. There is a demand to attach it to a bag, etc., and with the conventional holding mechanism using a strap, the strap is not long enough to hang on the neck, and a key hole is passed through a small hole for binding the strap. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not possible to meet the above-mentioned demand.

An object of the present invention is to provide a strap adapter capable of holding a portable electronic device such as an audio device in various forms.

[0005]

A strap adapter according to the present invention is an adapter body formed by integrally molding a resin.
(1) and a strap (2) connected to an end of the adapter body (1).
A through hole (3) is opened at the center thereof, and a groove 40 having an enlarged depth is formed on both sides or one side.

According to the strap adapter of the present invention, the through hole (3) opened in the adapter body (1) is used with the tip of the strap (2) connected to the end of the portable electronic device. Thus, various holding modes can be realized. For example, when the portable electronic device is suspended from the neck by a belt and held, the neck belt is passed through a through hole (3) formed in the adapter body (1). If the key holder is attached to a bag or the like to hold it, the adapter body
Pass the key ring through the through hole (3) established in (1). Here, the through-hole (3) of the adapter body (1) can be formed to be large according to the size of the adapter body (1), so that various connecting tools such as a neck strap and a key holder can be formed. It is possible to pass.

Further, since the adapter body (1) is formed by integrally molding a resin, the weight of the adapter body (1) can be reduced, and the connection with the strap (2) is easy. is there.

[0008] Further, a groove (40) having an enlarged depth is provided on both sides or one side of the adapter body (1). Connect the headphone cable extending to the ear to the groove (4
0) and can be locked to the adapter body (1). Therefore, for example, the through hole of the adapter body (1)
In the case where the portable electronic device is hung from the neck and held by passing the neck strap through the neck strap (3), the strap (2), the neck strap, and the headphone cable can be bundled by the adapter body (1), Thereby, it is possible to prevent the headphone cable from wobbling or getting entangled with the strap (2) or the neck strap.

[0009]

According to the strap adapter of the present invention, a portable electronic device such as an audio device can be held in various forms.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention applied to a strap adapter for audio equipment. As shown in FIG. 1, the strap adapter according to the present invention includes an adapter body (1) formed by integrally molding a resin and a strap (2) connected to a lower end of the adapter body (1). I have.

The adapter body (1) has a large T-shaped through hole (3) at the center. Further, a cable locking groove (40) penetrating vertically is recessed on both sides of the adapter body (1), respectively.
Has a slit-shaped entrance opening (4) having a narrow width, and a deeper opening (5) having a circular cross section and a diameter larger than the width of the entrance opening (4).

As shown in FIG. 2, when the audio equipment (7) is suspended from the neck and held by using the strap adapter according to the present invention, an insertion hole () is formed at an end of the audio equipment (7). 71) through the tip of the strap (2) and the through-hole (3) in the adapter body (1).
With the neck belt (6) passed through the
Hang (6) around your neck.

When using the stereo headphones 74, the connector 73 attached to the base end of the headphone cable 72 is inserted into the audio equipment 7, and the headphone cable 72 is connected. Insert it into one cable locking groove (40) of the adapter body (1). At this time, since two cable locking grooves (40) and (40) are formed on both sides of the adapter body (1), one of the cable locking grooves (40) is convenient depending on the position of the cable (72). ) Can be selected. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the headphone cable (72) from wobbling and the headphone cable (72) from being entangled with the strap (2) and the neck strap (6).

When the audio equipment (7) is attached to a bag or the like with a key holder and held, as shown in FIG. 3, the key holder is inserted into the through hole (3) of the adapter body (1).
Through (8), the key ring (8) is attached to a bag or the like. The through hole (3) of the adapter body (1) has a size large enough to pass the key holder (8).

As described above, according to the strap adapter of the present invention, the audio equipment (7) is connected to the neck strap.
It can be held in various forms using various connecting tools such as (6) and a key ring (8), and the carrying of the audio equipment (7) becomes more convenient than holding using a conventional strap.
