Description

  The present invention relates to a binding band used for bundling elongated members such as electric cords and cables, and more particularly to a binding band using a hook-and-loop fastener.

  Conventionally, various binding bands are used to bundle elongated members such as electric cords and cables. A binding band using a hook-and-loop fastener is also used, and when a hook-and-loop fastener is used, binding and release can be performed with one touch. For this reason, it is used as a bundling band for cords such as power cords and cables attached to various electric devices, and is used for bundling the cords together or unbundling the cords to extend the cords. . And in order to use as such a binding band, the thing which made the strip | belt-shaped surface fastener which can engage a front engagement surface and a back engagement surface into a roll shape is marketed, and this strip | belt-shaped surface fastener is appropriate length. The band is cut out and used as a binding band.

  However, when a band-shaped surface fastener is used as a binding band for binding cords or releasing the binding, the binding band is often lost when the binding band is removed from the cord. For this reason, the binding band is preferably attached to the cords that are the binding members, and an attachment portion to the binding member is provided at the end of the band-shaped surface fastener constituting the binding band. In this case, in the belt-shaped surface fastener capable of engaging both surfaces, it is possible to wrap the end portion of the belt-shaped surface fastener around the cords without engaging the mounting portion, and to mount the fastener by engaging the fastener surface. When unbundling the bundled cords, the end portion is often removed together. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a mounting part separately.

  Therefore, in order to slidably attach the binding band to the cords, an annular attachment portion into which the cords can be inserted is provided at one end of the belt-shaped surface fastener. As shown in Patent Documents 1, 2, 3 and the like, a method is used in which one end of a belt-shaped surface fastener is rounded into an annular shape and the end is fixed by sewing or heat fusion. For this reason, processing of the annular mounting portion takes time and equipment may be required.

  On the other hand, a binding band 200 as shown in FIG. 3 obtained by cutting a belt-shaped surface fastener into a strap shape is also commercially available. A through hole 202 into which the binding unit 201 can be inserted is provided at one end of the binding band 200. The binding unit 201 is inserted into the through hole 202 while tightening the cords, and tightened. Can be attached to cords. However, in the binding band 200, the width of the end portion 203 provided with the through hole 202 needs to be wider than the width of the binding portion 201. For this reason, the binding band 200 needs to be cut out from a band-shaped surface fastener having a width equal to or larger than at least the width of the end portion 203, and a waste portion of material is generated. Furthermore, equipment such as a die cutter is required for cutting a large amount of straps. Therefore, in order to prepare bands of various sizes, it is necessary to have a mold of each size corresponding to the size of the band, the type of size is limited, and a longer size is required to expand the application range. After all, waste of materials will be generated.

  Further, Patent Documents 4 and 5 propose a binding band (bundling tool, cord band) 300 as shown in FIG. 4. One band-shaped surface fastener 301 is connected to one end of the other band-shaped surface fastener 302. The binding band 300 is fixed to the portion. As shown in the drawing, the binding band 300 can be attached to the cord in the vicinity of the fixing portion 303 of each band-shaped surface fastener. However, such a cable tie takes time and effort, and when the cable bundle is released, the hook and loop fastener of the attachment part of the cords is also peeled off, the attachment part is released, and the cords are released from the cable tie. Sometimes it comes off.

  The binding band of the present invention is formed by engaging the cut portions provided on the left and right side portions of a belt-shaped surface fastener having front and back engaging surfaces that can be engaged with each other, and one end of the belt-shaped surface fastener. Further, the annular mounting portion is formed, and the cut portion is meshed to form the annular mounting portion, and the band end portion protruding from the engagement surface is bent to engage the engagement surface. It is preferable to make it.

  There is also provided a corded electrical device in which the binding band is attached to the cord by an annular mounting portion. This electrical equipment with cords is characterized in that the above-mentioned binding band is attached to the accompanying cords such as power cords and cables, and the cords are bundled and bound as necessary, or the cord is unwound and stretched. It can be.

  The binding band producing method according to the present invention includes a cut portion provided on each of the left and right sides of the belt-like surface fastener having a front engaging surface and a back engaging surface that can be engaged with each other, and biting the cut portion. In addition, it is characterized in that an annular mounting portion is formed at one end of the belt-shaped surface fastener, and further, the notch portion is meshed to form an annular mounting portion, and the band end portion protruding from the engagement surface is bent, A production method for engaging the engagement surface is preferred.

  In the belt-like surface fastener used in the present invention, both the front and back surfaces are engaging surfaces, and they can be engaged with each other. That is, one is a hook engagement surface and the other is a loop engagement surface, or both front and back surfaces are hook-loop mixed engagement surfaces. Such a belt-shaped surface fastener is commercially available as a roll, and in the present invention, this belt-shaped surface fastener can be used. However, the belt-shaped surface fastener is not particularly limited as to the constituent material, and any belt-shaped surface fastener in which the front and back surfaces are engaging surfaces as described above can be used.

  The binding band of the present invention is obtained by cutting a commercially available belt-shaped surface fastener to a required length, making cuts on both the left and right sides, and meshing the formed cut portions with each other to form a binding member. An annular mounting portion for mounting can be formed. Therefore, compared with the conventional method, it does not require any special equipment, and can be processed by a very simple operation of making a cut using scissors or a cutter. Furthermore, there is no occurrence of a discarded portion that is cut off from the belt-shaped surface fastener that is a material. Furthermore, since the size of the ring of the annular mounting portion can be freely adjusted by adjusting the distance between the both cut portions, the size of the ring can be adjusted according to the thickness of the cords to be mounted. And can be easily applied to various members to be bound.

  In addition, the annular mounting portion is formed by merely engaging the notch portion. However, in the bound state, the belt-shaped surface fastener is wound around the annular mounting portion, and the annular mounting portion is firmly fixed. Further, since the cut portions are engaged with each other, when the wound belt-shaped surface fastener is unwound and the binding is released, the annular mounting portion is not opened, and the binding band is not detached from the cords. And when the band end protruding beyond the engagement surface is bent and engaged with the engagement surface, the annular mounting portion can be more firmly fixed, and the cords can be securely fixed without being disengaged. It becomes a binding band that can be attached.
