Description

  The present invention relates to a communication cable bundling tool, and more particularly to a communication cable bundling tool capable of easily bundling a plurality of communication cables between communication devices.

Generally, a spiral tube is used as a binding tool for binding a plurality of communication cables between communication devices.
This spiral tube is a plastic pipe (main body) made of polyethylene or the like, in which a separation portion is formed in a spiral shape at a constant pitch, and a communication cable is wrapped and bound from an opening of the separation portion. This spiral tube is formed into several types of inner diameters depending on the bundling diameter of the communication cable, and is generally cut and sold to a length of about 2 meters, but for business use, it is sold by drum winding. .
In addition, in some spiral tubes, in order to eliminate the inconvenience of wrapping and wrapping communication cables, a resin flat plate is processed into a cylindrical shape, and the communication cables are bundled while being pushed open with a dedicated jig.

Conventionally, a spiral tube includes a composite magnetic body composed of a soft magnetic powder and an organic binder, and suppresses unnecessary radiation noise.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-70808

By the way, conventionally, in a spiral tube, in order to bind a communication cable, some operation | movement is needed. The operation when the right hand is the dominant hand will be described below.
(1) Arrange the bundled communication cables so that they are easy to wind.
(2) Align the end of the spiral tube with the winding start position of the communication cable bundle, twist the spiral tube toward the winding start end from a little bit to open the inside, and wrap around the communication cable bundle .
(3) Hold the spiral tube with the left hand and hold the spiral tube with the right hand so that the wound spiral tube cannot be unwound. Since the spiral tube does not have a waist, if it is longer than 1 meter, lift a few places together with a right hand at intervals, move it from the front side of the bundle of communication cables to the opposite side, and release it.
Next, maneuver the hand from the lower front side of the communication cable bundle, hold the spiral tube that has been released previously, and lift it from the front to swivel the spiral tube. Move over to the other side and release. This work takes a lot of time. When this operation is performed about three times, the spiral tube is loosely wound around the communication cable bundle.
(4) Next, twist and rotate the spiral tube so that it is wrapped around it and wrap it around the communication cable bundle. If this operation is repeated three times, the spiral tube previously swung around the communication cable It becomes a state. Then, move the left hand to the position where the spiral tube has been wound and hold it so as not to loosen.
By repeating the above (3) and (4), the entire communication cable bundle is bundled. In this case, if the spiral tube is long, it takes a lot of time to hold the entire spiral tube with one hand and rotate the outer periphery of the communication cable bundle. When trying to bind more than 1 meter, the aesthetics are bad, but workability is better if the spiral tube is cut short and many are wound.
Therefore, the conventional communication cable bundling tool has a disadvantage in that the communication cable bundling becomes troublesome because a step of turning the outer periphery of the plurality of communication cable bundles is necessary.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a communication cable binding tool that can easily bind a plurality of communication cables by omitting the step of turning the outer periphery of the plurality of communication cable bundles.

The present invention relates to a communication cable bundling tool for bundling a plurality of communication cables between communication devices, wherein the tool main body is formed of a cylindrical member having an elastic restoring force, and a separation portion continuous in the longitudinal direction is formed in the tool main body. The separation portion includes a right spiral separation portion that forms a right spiral portion that spirally rotates in the right direction, and a left inversion portion that reverses in a gentle arc so that the rotation direction changes from the right direction to the left direction. A left-reversing cut-off part to be formed, a left-spiral cut-off part forming a left-spiral part that spirally rotates in the left-hand direction facing the right-spiral part with the left-reversing cut-off part as a boundary, and the rotation direction from the left direction A right inversion cut-off part that forms a right inversion part that draws a gentle arc and inverts so as to be in the right direction is formed as one group,
The left inversion portion and the right inversion portion are inverted so as to be separated from the right spiral portion and the left spiral portion, and the communication cable is wound into the tool body.

  The communication cable binding tool of the present invention can easily bind a plurality of communication cables by omitting the step of rotating the outer periphery of the plurality of communication cable bundles.

The present invention realizes the purpose of simply bundling a plurality of communication cables by alternating left and right spiral portions and reversing portions.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail and specifically based on the drawings.

The left inverted mountain side edge portion 14 and the right inverted mountain side edge portion 19 that open the inside of the binding tool 1 are turned in the unfolding direction, that is, so as to be separated from the right spiral portion 4 and the left spiral portion 8. When inverted, it has an elastic restoring force to return to its original state. Further, the left inverted mountain side edge portion 14 and the right inverted mountain side edge portion 19 are alternately opposed to each other, so that the communication cable G is not released and is wound into the tool body 2.
In the first embodiment, an adhesive material in contact with the communication cable G can be provided on the inner surface of the tool body 2.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, winding of a plurality of communication cables G to be bundled can be started from any position.
The binding tool 1 having a predetermined length and the plurality of communication cables G to be bundled are held together with the left hand.
Then, the mountain-side left inverted edge (left inverted tip) 14 near the left hand is picked with the right hand and twisted to the outside to open it to the right spiral part 4 and the left spiral part 8, and a plurality of communication cables G are bundled. Wrap it. Re-grasp this wrapped part with your left hand to maintain the unity state.
Next, the right-side inverted mountain side edge (right-inverted tip) 19 is then picked and twisted to the outer side, and the right spiral portion 4 and the left spiral portion 8 on both sides are opened, and the communication cable G is opened. Wrap around a bundle.
Then, by sequentially moving the left hand and performing the same work, the wrapping of the communication cable G is completed.
Finally, both ends of the binding tool 1 are fixed with a fixing tool such as a tape.
Therefore, the binding tool 1 can be bound by the left and right spiral portions 4 and 8 and the reversing portions 6 and 10 alternately without turning the outer periphery of the bundle of communication cables G.

As a result, the bundling tool 1 organizes and bundles the plurality of communication cables G between the communication devices according to the direction, thereby improving the appearance around the communication devices and improving the appearance of the communication cable G, In addition, the communication cable G is protected by the bundling tool 1, and it is easy to perform maintenance measures, cleaning, and movement of the communication device, and an environment with good workability is obtained.
Further, in order to wrap the bundling tool 1 around the bundle of communication cables G, by omitting the step of turning the outer circumference of the bundle of communication cables G, the bundling work time can be completed in less than half of the conventional one for a length of 1 meter. . It has a long bundling work effect and can be wound continuously for 10 meters or more by itself. The work efficiency does not change, and a bundle of communication cables G can be tied to the bundling tool 1 simply and inexpensively. .
