Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cover for a modular plug. More specifically, the present invention provides:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a modular plug with a nail used to connect a twisted pair cable for a local area network (LAN) or a telephone to a device, and more particularly to a modular plug cover to be attached to a modular plug with a broken nail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Communication cables (twisted pairs) are used to interconnect terminals such as personal computers and workstations with network relay devices such as routers and switching hubs.
Are connected to a modular plug at both ends.

FIGS. 3A and 3B show a modular plug according to the prior art, wherein FIG. 3A is an upper perspective view and FIG. 3B is a lower perspective view. Here, reference numeral 20 denotes a claw portion, and reference numeral 21 denotes a communication cable. The modular plug is provided with a claw portion 20, and such a modular plug with a claw is widely and generally used. Similar modular plugs with nails are used not only for terminals such as personal computers and workstations, but also for plugs for connecting a telephone handset to the telephone unit and for connecting telephone lines to the telephone unit. Have been.

The modular plug has the claw portion 20 so that it can be prevented from being easily detached from the connection port. In order to remove the modular plug from the connection port, an operation of holding down the claw portion 20 and pulling out from the connection port is required.

[0005]

The conventional modular plug with a claw has the following problems.

When the modular plug with a claw is frequently inserted and removed from the connection port, the claw portion 20 of the modular plug can be used.
Often deteriorated due to repeated bending, and were often broken from the root.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the modular plug of FIG. 3 with its claw portion broken. The modular plug 22 with the broken claw portion is easily detached from the connection port when the communication cable (twisted pair) is pulled, and cannot be used as it is. In this case, it is necessary to replace the modular plug or replace each communication cable.

[0008] The replacement of the modular plug requires a special tool and requires a technique, which is not easy. Generally, every communication cable is replaced, but the conventional communication cable cannot be used, and it is necessary to prepare a new set of communication cables, resulting in high costs. Further, there is a case where the exchange work of the communication cable is not easy, for example, when the communication cable is wired under the floor of the building.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a modular plug cover for repairing a modular plug having a broken claw portion at low cost and easily.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a repairing modular plug cover for covering a modular plug with a broken claw, and a storage portion for storing a modular plug with a broken claw. And a fitting concave / convex portion for opening and closing the storage portion, and a repair claw portion.

[0011] The accommodating portion is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the modular plug whose claw portion is broken by the fitting concave-convex portion.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a modular plug cover for repair according to the present invention, wherein (a) is a plan view, (b) is a side view, and (c) is a front view. 1 is a housing part, 2 is a repair claw part, 3 is a first fitting convex part, 4 is a second fitting convex part, 5 is a third fitting convex part, 6 is a first fitting concave part,
7 is a second fitting concave portion, 8 is a third fitting concave portion, and 9 is a bent portion.

The modular plug cover for restoration is provided in the storage section 1.
And the repair claw 2, the first to third fitting concave and convex portions (3 to 8), and the bent portion 9. The base portion of the repair claw portion 2 is soft and can be bent downward by applying an external force. The bent portion 9 is flexible, and the storage portion 1 can be opened or closed.

Hereinafter, a method for attaching the repairing modular plug cover to the modular plug whose claw portion is broken will be described.

(1) Open the storage unit 1 and mount the modular plug cover for repair so that the repairing claw 2 is correctly positioned on the broken claw of the modular plug, and close the storage unit 1.

(2) The first fitting projection 3 and the first fitting recess 6 are fitted. Similarly, the second fitting projection 4 and the second fitting recess 7 are fitted. Then, the third fitting projection 5 and the third fitting recess 8 are fitted.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of use of the modular plug cover for repair shown in FIG. 10 is a modular plug cover for restoration, 11 is a modular plug with a broken claw,
Reference numeral 12 denotes a communication cable. The modular plug cover 10 for restoration is attached to the modular plug 11 having the claw portion broken by the above-described attaching method. The repair claw 2 of the repair modular plug cover 10 is correctly positioned on the claw that has been broken. The modular plug 11 with the broken claw portion is not easily detached from the connection port by the repair claw portion 2. In order to remove the modular plug 11 having the broken claw from the connection port, the modular plug 11 having the broken claw may be pulled out while pressing the repair claw 2 of the modular plug cover 10 for repair.

When the repairing modular plug cover 10 is detached from the modular plug 11 having the claw portion, the reverse procedure may be taken. That is, (1) the first fitting projection 3 and the first fitting recess 6 are removed. Similarly, the second fitting projection 4 and the second fitting recess 7 are removed. Then, the third fitting projection 5 and the third fitting recess 8 are removed.

(2) Open the storage unit 1 and take out the modular plug 11 with the claw part broken.

As described above, the following effects are exhibited by configuring the modular plug cover for restoration of the present invention.

(1) By attaching the claw portion to the broken modular plug, it is possible to prevent the modular plug from being easily removed from the connection port.

(2) Without the need for special techniques and tools,
It can be easily attached to and detached from a modular plug with a broken claw.

(3) Since there is no need to replace a communication cable (twisted pair), a modular plug with a broken claw can be repaired at low cost.

[0025]

The modular plug cover for restoration according to the present invention comprises a storage portion capable of storing a modular plug with a broken claw portion, a fitting concave-convex portion for opening and closing the storage portion, and a repair claw portion. The storage portion is configured so that it can be attached to and detached from the modular plug whose claw portion is broken by the fitting concave / convex portion, so that the modular plug whose claw portion is broken can be easily and inexpensively repaired. be able to.
