Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a function for a storage tool of a flexible linear material, such as an electric cord, and a flexible tubular material, such as a hose, which can be wound and stored in a small size, so that elongation is easily performed without entanglement caused by formation of twists or knots during the use.SOLUTION: A body 11 is constituted of a body upper part 12 and a body lower part 13 bonded rotationally movable. A cutout 31 is formed in a direction of about 90 degrees with respect to a rotation direction toward the center from the both sides of the body upper part 12 and body lower part 13. The cutout width is at least 1.0 to at most 1.5 times the diameter and/or the maximum width of an object to be stored.

Description

The present invention winds up and stores an extension cord or the like when not in use, and can be extended so as not to get entangled when the extension cord or the like is used. The present invention relates to a tubular container.

Conventionally, a flexible linear body such as an extension cord or a rope and a flexible tubular body such as a hose are appropriately bent or wound when not in use, and are bundled and stored.

When using, it is necessary to extend a flexible linear body such as an extension cord or rope, or a flexible tube body such as a hose, but at this time, if entanglement occurs due to twisting, twisting and knotting It was necessary to stretch while correcting this.

The cause of the entanglement is considered to be that a knot is generated by twisting and twisting irregularly due to the long object having flexibility, and by the end portion passing through the winding.

In recent years, electrical cord entanglement prevention devices have been introduced. The following patent documents 1, 2, and 3 can be listed as known techniques related to the present invention.

  Since the bundled wire band for preventing entanglement of the extended electrical cord described in Patent Document 1 is bundled by sequentially fitting the extended electrical cord into a holder attached to the band while winding the extended electrical cord, the electrical cord is stored. Complicated work during time and extension.

The electric cord to be folded described in Patent Document 2 is characterized in that a plurality of movable parts are attached to an electric cord that does not bend so hard that the manufacturing cost is high and there is a possibility that it becomes an obstacle to popularization.

The flexible linear body described in Patent Document 3 needs to be rolled up together with the indices placed on the main body during storage, which involves some complicated work.

The present invention has been made in view of these points. Its purpose is to store small objects when not in use, flexible cords such as extension cords or ropes that can be extended so that the main body does not get tangled during use, and flexible pipes such as hoses. It is to provide a storage tool.

The main body 11 is composed of a main body upper portion 12 and a main body lower portion 13 which are rotatably coupled. From both ends of the main body upper portion and the lower portion of the main body, a cut 31 is made in the direction of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the rotation direction toward the center. The cut width of the cut 31 is not less than 1 and not more than 1.5 times the diameter and / or maximum width of the object to be stored.

The main body 21 includes a main body middle portion 24 between the main body upper portion 22 and the main body lower portion 23. The main body upper portion 22, the main body middle portion 24, the main body middle portion 24, and the lower body portion 23 are rotatably coupled to each other. A notch 31 is provided from both ends of the lower part of the main body toward the center in a direction of approximately 90 degrees with respect to the rotation direction, and the notch 31 has a notch width of at least 1.5 times the diameter or maximum width of the object to be stored. It is characterized by being less than double.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the storage object of the flexible linear body such as the extension cord, the table tap and the rope or the flexible tube body such as the hose is stored when not in use, The object to be stored is wound into the notch 31 of the main body upper portion 12 and the notch 31 of the lower body portion 13 provided from both ends toward the central portion. When there is a retaining portion 32, a part of the storage object is fixed to the extension side retaining portion 32 to start winding, and when there is an original side retaining portion 33 that finishes winding the storage object, a part of the original side of the storage object is It is fixed to the former side retaining portion 33 and stored in the main body.

  When the storage object is used, if there is the extension-side retaining part 32 and / or the original-side retaining part 33, the storage object is released from the extension-side retaining part 32 and / or the original-side retaining part 33, and the upper body 12 And the lower part 13 of the main body are connected to each other so that they can be bent up to 180 degrees, and when this is bent to an appropriate position, the object to be stored can be taken out above the main body 11. It becomes.

The cut widths of the cuts 31 in the main body upper part 12 and the lower part of the main body 13 are the diameter and / or the maximum width of the object to be stored which is a flexible linear body such as an extension cord, a table tap or a rope, or a flexible tubular body such as a hose. It is 1.0 or more and 1.5 times or less of a significant. With this cut width, the objects to be stored can be wound one after another without being disturbed every round, and the winding length gradually increases with each round.

From the above, when the object to be stored is taken out from the main body, it is wound around the end on the extension side, so that when the object to be extended is used for use, the winding state is not disturbed sequentially. Since the container is loosened, the object to be stored can be stretched without being tangled.

Examples of the material of the main body of the present invention include various synthetic resins, light metals such as aluminum, and wood. In addition, the present invention can be provided at low cost because of a simple structure with few components.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
