Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cord converging tool showing Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and is an example in which a plurality of cords are stored in the cord converging tool of this embodiment. The tubular body 1 for storing the cord is made of an elastic material, and is provided with cuts 2 extending from one end to the other end of the tubular body 1, and cuts for introducing the cords at both ends of the cut 2. A notch 4 is provided. The cord 6 is pressed from the insertion portion 3a to the cutout portion 4a, and is slid so as to pull the cord 6 to the other insertion portion 3b or the through hole 5. Or it pulls out from the through-hole 5. Since the cylindrical body 1 has elasticity, the cut portion is pushed open when passing through the cord, and after the passage, the cut back 2 is returned to the original state by the restoring force and the cut 2 is closed. Further, by providing the notch portion 4 in the insertion portion 3, there is an effect that when the cord is pressed, the cord position is stabilized and the cord can be easily inserted. Even if it is formed in a concave shape instead of a notch, there is an effect that the cord can be easily inserted. Moreover, the cylindrical body 1 can be bent freely by making the bellows shape 7. Further, if the cylindrical body 1 is formed of a material that can be easily cut with a cutter or the like, the length can be easily obtained. In this embodiment, the cylindrical body 1 has a circular cross section, but may be oval or square.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the cord focusing tool of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. A plurality of zigzag holes are provided in communication with the notches 2. Depending on the cord position of the electrical equipment, the cord 6 is inserted through the through hole 5 located at an appropriate distance, or the cord stored therein is pulled out. In this embodiment, the through hole 5 has a semicircular shape, but may have any shape such as a square.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the cord focusing tool according to the first embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of cords 6 are accommodated in a circular cylindrical body 1. Further, since the cut end surfaces 15 of the bellows portion 7 are uneven, the opposed cut end surfaces 15 are prevented from colliding with each other.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the cord focusing tool of the first embodiment of the present invention. This is an example in which one end of the notch 2 is formed as a recess 9. When the cord 6 is pressed by using the concave portion 9 as described above, the cord position is stabilized and the cord 6 can be easily inserted into the cylindrical body.

FIG. 5 is an example in which a plurality of other cord focusing tools 1 are connected to the cord focusing tool of Embodiment 1 of the present invention to make it longer. In the present embodiment, the diameter of the connecting portion 12a at one end of the cylindrical body 1 is larger or smaller than the diameter of the connecting portion 12b at the other end, and can be inserted and connected by fitting. It can connect easily by setting it as such a structure. However, the shape of the connecting portion 12 is not limited to that of the present embodiment, and any shape may be used as long as the plurality of cord focusing tools 1 can be connected to each other.

FIG. 6 is a front view of a cord concentrator according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the example in which a plurality of bellows portions 7 are provided in the cylindrical body 1, the straight tube portion 11 is interposed between the adjacent bellows portions 7, and the through holes 5 are formed in the straight tube portion 11. The through holes 5 are provided in a staggered manner. . The configuration in which the through hole 5 is provided in the straight tube portion 11 has an effect of easily forming the through hole. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a cord concentrator according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This is an example in which the tubular body 1 is detachably attached to a wall or floor with a hook 8. In this example, the cross section of the cylindrical body 1 is rectangular, but it may be circular. In FIG. 7, the position of the notch 2 is provided on the side surface, but it may be provided on any surface of the upper surface and the lower surface. Further, the cylindrical body 1 may be made of a hard material, and only the surface of the cut portion may be made of an elastic material. The hook may be formed integrally with the cylindrical body. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a cord focusing tool according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. This is a modification of the contact holding portion 14 in which a part or all of the end portion of the cut 2 is recessed inside the cylindrical body 1. When the cord 6 is pressed into the concave portion of the notch 2, the cord 6 is stable and easy to insert. This makes it easy to insert the code from any position of the cut 2. Moreover, the cylindrical body can be kept in the same shape by preventing the contact holding portions 14 at the opposite cut end portions from colliding with each other and preventing the cut end portions from being wound inside. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a cord focusing tool according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The cylindrical body 1 is an example in which the insertion portion is formed so as to expand in a tapered shape toward the end portion, and both ends of the notch 2 are recessed portions 9. By forming the insertion portion into a tapered shape, the end portion of the notch 2 can be kept closed without opening even if the plurality of cords 6 are drawn out from the insertion portion 3 in a radial manner. The tapered portion 13 is detachably attached to the cylindrical body 1 in FIG. 10, but may be formed integrally with the cylindrical body 1 at one end or both ends of the cylindrical body 1. Further, a convex contact holding portion 14 is provided on the insertion portion 3 side of the straight tube portion 11. This prevents the contact holding portions 14 facing each other from colliding with each other and preventing the cut end from winding inward. In this embodiment, the contact holding portion 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body, but may be provided on a part of the cut end portion. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing Embodiment 6 of the present invention. The place where several cords are gathered is gathered with a cord bundling tool. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

FIG. 11 is an example of various through holes. The through hole 5a is an example in which the through hole of the cord insertion / exit part is provided at a position separated from the notch 2 through the notch 2. The through hole 5a is a circular through hole, and a blocking portion is provided between the through hole and the notch 2. Provided. By providing at a position away from the notch 2, the next cord can be inserted more smoothly without disturbing the cord 6 previously stored and pulled out from the through hole 5a. Moreover, the position of the cord once pulled out from the through hole 5a is stabilized by providing a closed portion narrower than the diameter of the cord. The shape of the through hole is not limited to a circle, and may be an ellipse or a rectangle. The through hole 5b is an example in which the through hole is a radial slit. By using the radial slits, when the cord is not pulled out, the opening of the through hole is blocked, and dust does not easily enter the cylindrical body 1. The through hole 5c is an example in which a through hole is provided in the center of the cut.
