Description

  The present invention relates to a retainer for a flexible long object represented by an electric cable or a textile, and includes a base, at least a first element supported at a position away from the base by the support, and a support also having the base. A second element is provided which is supported and defines a breakthrough groove on the same plane as the first element.

  The present invention relates to a flexible long-shaped object holder. The retainer according to the invention can be embodied as a cable holder, which helps to organize the cables, among others. Furthermore, it can be embodied as a wall hook used for hanging objects.

  In some embodiments, a single retainer can implement both cable holder and wall hook applications. Further areas of application of the cage are also described below.

  Telephones, computers, their peripheral devices, electric cables such as printer lighting lights, various connection cords, and the like, which are present in offices and workplaces of houses and offices, are usually wired and installed by IT service providers and electricians. At that time, the cable is effectively fixed and arranged.

  A common approach to cable management is tying, pinching, or inserting into cable ducts. Products commonly used here are cable ties, cable clips and cable channels. The problem with these solutions is that when changing any one of the cables, the installation must sometimes be opened using tools. This is often the case when the cable needs to be pulled out a little longer or the direction of travel of the cable needs to be changed, for example, to change the location of the equipment.

  Patent Documents 1 to 9 show examples of such a solution. In each of these cases, a flexible long object such as an electric cable can be individually taken in and out, or can be individually set in the holder through the breach groove of the holder formed by the two arms superimposed and shifted sideways. Although it is possible to slide back and forth and rotate to change the running direction, when the longitudinal direction of the cable matches the path of the breakthrough groove, it comes off the holder against the will of the user It has not been possible to prevent it from happening.

  Various solutions are also known in the area of wall hooks. However, they have similar problems. Known wall hooks have the problem that, for example, a suspended object comes off unexpectedly, as is also known, for example, when a hand towel comes off the hook while wiping the hand. In addition, the handle of the shopping bag often jumps off the hook due to slight shaking. Patent Literature 10 is an example of a hook that protects a headphone suspended in a rescue vehicle from being detached by a horizontal and vertical gravitational acceleration. However, since the cable can accidentally go outside through the gap between the arms that are shifted sideways, it cannot be used as a cable holder. Patent Document 11 discloses that a sports net to be held is accidentally vibrated or shaken by bending the path of a break-through groove of a hook by a claw installed so as to extend from the opposite direction between two arms installed in the same direction. Here is an example of a hook that prevents it from coming off. The problem with this hook, however, is that if the object to be held is hung on only one arm, there is no protection against hanging. A further problem with this hook is that when it is used as a cable holder, it is essentially a clamp-type hold, thus restricting the freedom of movement of the held cable.

A problem with known wall hooks is the unexpected removal of the held object. Two examples are given. Example 1 "The hand towel loop is lifted higher than the hook while it is wiping the hand and comes off the hook", Example 2 "The shopping bag hung on the hook comes off with shaking".

China Patent No. 201373179 French Patent No. 1413388 US Patent No. 3154275 UK Patent No. 1084047 German Patent No. 1907859 German Patent Publication No. 202006008840 U.S. Design No. 565934 Dutch Patent No. 1029362 U.S. Patent No. 1763770 U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011186702 European Patent No. 2121147

The present invention has a simple structure and allows the held objects to be quickly and individually taken in and out at any time, and does not hinder the mobility of the held objects, while preventing accidental falling off due to the movement of the objects to be held more safely. An object of the present invention is to create a flexible holder for a long object that can be used as a cable holder and a wall hook for holding.

The solution to the problem is defined by the features of the cage of the invention as set forth in claim 1. According to the invention, at least one of the elements in the breach groove region has a concave shape.

In short, this allows a flexible, elongated object to be taken in and out at any time, which prevents the elongated object being held from moving, while preventing accidental detachment due to movement. Thus, a retainer that can be used as a cable holder and as a wall hook at the same time is created.

The first element having a concave shape does not necessarily have to be integrally formed. However, if it consists of several parts, they shall form a substantially continuous concave shape. Also, the first element need not be depleted in a concave shape. The element itself may be corrugated or W-shaped as long as a concave shape is formed in the breach groove area by the edge of this element which is a breach groove component of the cage of the present invention.

Examples of the retained elongated object include a cable, a wire, a string, a rope, a chain, a belt-shaped textile, and the like. Elongated objects are not limited to the above list, and other elongate objects added to the list are also known to the expert.

In order to insert the elongated object into the retainer, it is preferable to deform the elongated object according to the shape of the breaking groove so that the elongated object can pass through the breaking groove. The shape of the breaching groove has a role of a key for an elongated object. As another method, it is also possible to insert the elongated object obliquely into one opening of the breaching groove and guide it by hand to pass through the breaching groove.

The elongate object can be slid longitudinally parallel in the holder, while being held substantially safely both horizontally and vertically. Therefore, the elongated object can be freely slid in the longitudinal direction without being taken out of the holder.

Preferably, the concave shape of the first element is supplemented by the second element so as to form a breaching groove of a shape that cannot be passed through when the flexible long shape is stretched straight. However, the shape and arrangement of the second element largely depends on the thickness or the thickness and the flexibility of the elongated object to be held. The second element is disposed in the area of the breaching groove, and plays a role of obstructing insertion of the target elongated object in a stretched state. For example, in one embodiment, depending on the arrangement of the second element, the elongated object to be held cannot be inserted in the stretched state due to its thickness, but another thin elongated object can be inserted even in the stretched state. It may be. In this way, the second element is intended only to ensure that the elongated object to be held cannot pass through the breach groove formed in combination with the first element in an extended state. It can be formed arbitrarily large depending on the purpose and application.

In a preferred embodiment, the second element is arranged such that a portion thereof touches or cuts a string connecting the opposite ends of the concave shape of the first element, or is located within the concave area. This makes it impossible for the elongated object to pass through the breaching groove in an extended state regardless of its properties. This creates a versatile cage. For example, the first element may be a C-shaped parallel to the base, and the second element may be a pin disposed perpendicular to the base in the C-shaped. A variety of other variations are known to specialist engineers.

The retainer is mainly used for holding cables or textiles. The holder is particularly suitable for holding computer cables, telephone cables, radio cables, mobile phone charging cables, etc., as well as cables for lamps and household appliances, especially electric kettles. However, cables and wires can be retained for entirely other uses. For example, the cage of the present invention is also very suitable for holding the wires of a ranch electric fence to keep cattle. In all these applications, the cage according to the invention has the advantage that it is not necessary to insert the elongated object into the cage from one end. Therefore, by forming a shape (for example, a C shape or a similar shape) according to the shape of the breaching groove, the elongated object can be put in and out of the breaching groove at an arbitrary portion. The retainer according to the invention can also be used in other applications, in particular for clothes, cloth towels, kitchen and bathroom towels, etc. as wall hooks. The cage according to the invention also has the advantage that the objects to be held are not dislodged by wind, even when used outdoors. Furthermore, the cage according to the invention can also be used as a cable holder in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle or a motorcycle. In general, the retainer of the invention can be used in the industrial field to hold all kinds of flexible elongated objects. In a larger and more robust embodiment, a watering hose or similar object can be retained.

The present invention solves the problems with known cable holder solutions and offers the following advantages:

Simple operation: Cables can be inserted and removed at any time without any hassle.

Compatibility: The cable can freely move back and forth and rotate in the cage to change the direction of travel. Therefore, each cable can be individually adjusted in response to changes in the situation without breaking the installed devices.

Orientation Neutral: The shape and arrangement of the arms make it virtually impossible for the cable to accidentally come off the retainer. Thus, the cage of the present invention is orientation neutral.

Use individually or in combination: The cage of the present invention can be used alone or in combination of several pieces, depending on the use situation. For wiring of a long cable, a wiring route can be set by using a plurality of the retainers of the present invention. The number of cages used can be reduced at any time without affecting existing wiring settings.

The present invention provides the following advantages, among others, as wall hooks.

No inadvertent detachment: The shape and arrangement of the arms basically prevents accidental or unintentional detachment. This means that the retainer of the present invention has a function as a wall hook to protect the held object from being accidentally detached.

Extended application: in some embodiments, when used as a wall hook, a loop-free textile, such as a silk scarf or string, by achieving a state in which a portion of the object to be suspended is held down by the rest of itself. Or it can also be applied to rope retention. This works due to the shape of the arms and their arrangement. The object held in this manner can be easily removed by relieving the pressure on the pressed portion.

It is preferred that the two elements in the breaching groove region have basically the same or exactly the same shape. Thereby, a cage having a simpler structure can be realized, and economical production is enabled.

In a variant of the embodiment, the two elements in the breach zone region can also be designed differently.

The two elements in the breaching groove region are preferably arranged point-symmetrically in a plane parallel to the base.

In a variant of the embodiment, the two elements in the breach zone region may be asymmetric with respect to each other.

Preferably, the cage has at least one axis of point symmetry. This point symmetry axis is preferably perpendicular to the base.

In a modification of the embodiment, the cage may not have a point symmetry axis.

Preferably, the concave shape is semicircular.

In variations of the embodiment, other shapes are possible. As an example, the concave shape may be a polygon. Furthermore, instead of a semi-circular shape, a semi-elliptical shape, or another free-form concave shape that does not necessarily correspond to an ideal geometric shape is also possible.

Preferably, the two elements are arranged such that an essentially S-shaped breaching groove is formed. The S-shaped breaking groove has the effect that a flexible elongated object cannot pass through in a straightened state. However, if the same-shaped object is bent into a U-shape according to the knot theory, it can be inserted into the retainer through the S-shaped breaking groove. If the elongated object is straightened after insertion, it cannot pass through the S-shaped breaking groove, and the elongated object is safely held by the holder. In order to remove the held elongated object from the holder, it may be bent into a U-shape as in the case of insertion, and may be passed through the S-shaped breach groove.

A particular advantage of the present retainer is that it is not necessary to insert an elongated object into the retainer from one end. Further, the elongated object cannot come out of the retainer in an extended state. Furthermore, even if the elongate object does not extend straight, the U-shaped curve required to pass through the breaching groove is formed, and the elongate object exits the retainer unless guided along the breaching groove while maintaining its shape. Can not do. Thus, even under uncontrolled movement, the possibility of the retained elongated object accidentally jumping out of the retainer is minimized. In addition, the cage of the present invention does not require any moving parts, thus enabling manufacture as a single unit. Thus, a particularly economical and simple construction, and thus a durable, flexible cage for long objects is realized.

It is clear to the expert that the breaching groove does not necessarily have to be S-shaped. In principle, it is sufficient for the breakthrough groove to have at least one concave curve that cannot be passed when the flexible long object is extended. Therefore, the breaking groove may be U-shaped or C-shaped. Further, the breakthrough groove may be formed in a W-shape, a V-shape, or the like. Other suitable shapes are known to professional engineers.

The base preferably has a fixture receiving hole for attachment. The fastener is preferably a screw, but nails or pin-shaped fasteners are also possible. This achieves a very simple mounting, especially on the wall.

As an option, the retainer can also be glued to a mounting surface, especially a wall or the like. Further, a magnet may be provided so that the magnet can be attached to a magnetic surface such as a refrigerator door. Further, a suction cup for attaching to a smooth surface may be provided. The retainer may also include a clip or spring for attaching to the protruding portion. Further, the retainer may be formed integrally with a securing element, e.g., a latch element that can resiliently latch to a corresponding portion of the mounting surface. Other mounting methods are known to the skilled technician.

The problem of this cage is, for example, the applicability to the situation from the viewpoint that it does not restrict the operation of inserting and removing the cable and the sliding of the held cable back and forth in the longitudinal direction and the rotation for changing the running direction. Is to hold the cable while maintaining

Known cable holder solutions organize the cables by bundling the cables with cable ties, pinching them with cable clips, and passing them through cable ducts. The problems with these solutions become apparent especially when it is necessary to remove or insert additional cables, or to slide a held cable back and forth or change direction of travel. In such cases, known solutions require that some or all of the settings be opened, and in the worst case, all cables be removed and then reconfigured. With less restrictive solutions, the cables are more mobile and more responsive to changing conditions, but are not protected from sudden jumps due to mobility.

The cable is preferably loosely and non-closing with two specially shaped arms. This allows individual cables to be moved in and out of the gap between the two arms at any time and to move freely inside the arms. Nevertheless, the shape and arrangement of the arms makes it virtually impossible for the cable to accidentally pop out of the retainer, regardless of the orientation of the retainer. In order to guide the cable from the gap, the cable must be shaped to correspond to the gap.

Also when applied as a wall hook, sudden removal of the held object is mostly prevented. The cage realizes this protection function by the shape and arrangement of the two arms. Only the shape of the arm on which the object is suspended makes accidental detachment difficult. The second arm further supplements the protection.

Embodiments as cable holders should allow the user to insert and remove the cable at any time without the use of tools and to be able to slide and rotate without fear of detaching the held cable. . This means that the required cable holder solution is orientation-neutral, since the holding function must not depend on the running direction of the cable to be held.

The present invention protects an object to be held as a wall hook from accidental detachment without making the detaching operation difficult.

Further advantageous embodiments and features of the invention are specified in the following detailed description and in the entire claims.

It is the figure which looked at the modification of embodiment from which a base is elliptical and a supporter does not have a twist, from the front, front, and side.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the cage of the present invention.

The retainer according to the present invention can be used as a cable holder and a wall-mounted book. The retainer comprises a base 1, preferably one round, and two arms 2 of the same shape. The retainer is preferably made of metal or plastic, and is preferably fixed with a single fixture, especially a screw or the like, through the fixture receiving hole 3 in the center of the base. Depending on the demand, the material could be made of wood, ceramic or glass. Further, as the mounting specification, a suction cup type, a magnet type, a double-sided tape type, or the like can be considered. The size of the embodiment is determined according to the purpose of use, that is, the thickness and quantity of the long object to be held.

The two arms 2 of the same shape in the present embodiment are preferably installed at the end of the base 1 with a shift of 180 degrees, and are preferably symmetric with respect to a vertical axis passing through the center of the base 1.

  The arm 2 has two parts, 2a and 2b. The first part, that is, the lower portion 2a of the arm, bulges outward slightly when viewed from the center of the base, and extends upward from the base while bending approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise along the outer ring of the base. The second part, the upper part 2b-1 and 2b-2 of the arm, extends continuously to the lower part 2a at the level of the lower part 2a and forms a semicircle which is approximately 1/3 of the diameter of the base. Seen from above, the outline of the arm looks like a ring of about 3/4.

  In the present embodiment, the breaching groove that defines the boundary between the inside and the outside of the cage has a kind of S-shape when viewed from above. This is due to the shape and arrangement of the arms.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the most preferred embodiment of the cage of the present invention, the material of which is best suited to plastic or metal, but it is also conceivable to use ceramic, glass or wood.

  The cage according to the invention comprises a base 1 and two specially bent arms 2 mounted on the base offset by 180 degrees. The curves of the arms extend closer to each other, ending before their tips meet. This leaves an S-shaped gap that allows flexible elongate objects such as loops and wires, such as electrical cables and hand towels, to be taken in and out. The held object is free to move within the two arms, but due to the shape and arrangement of the arms, accidental disengagement can be substantially eliminated. The retainer of the present invention is generally made of metal or plastic, and is attached with a single screw through the fixture receiving hole 3. The size can be determined according to the purpose of use, that is, the thickness and quantity of the long object to be held, and it is also possible to use a suction cup, a magnet, or an adhesive for mounting.

  The retainer of the present invention has a base 1 and two elements 2b-1 and 2b-2 that define a breaching groove.These elements are held at a distance of 5 from the base 1 by a support 2a. At least one of the two elements has a concave shape such that the formed breach path is bent. A flexible elongate object such as a cable can be put in and out at any time through the curved breach groove, but it cannot pass through the curved breach groove in a naturally extended state, thereby preventing accidental detachment.

  The two elements 2b-1 and 2b-2 in the breaching groove region preferably have a concave shape so that the breaching groove path they define has an S-shape or a mirror-reversed S-shape.

  The recessed portion of the breakthrough channel is preferably arcuate so as to minimize the resistance when inserting and removing the cable.

Each of the two elements 2b-1 and 2b-2 in the breach groove area is a half of a circular ring, and is displaced by a radius on the center line of the ring formed by the two, so that a distance of 5 from the base 1 is obtained. It is preferable to form a breaking groove running in an S-shape parallel to the base 1 or in an S-shape inverted from the mirror surface.

The narrowest part of the breaching groove should have at least a width through which the cable to be held can pass.

The distance 5 from the base 1 to the breaching groove should be at least large enough to provide adequate space for the cables to be retained.

It is preferable that the two supports 2a have the same shape and are installed on the center line of the base 1. The supports each support the elements 2b-1 and 2b-2 in one breach groove area at their outer end points 5a, thereby forming two arms 2 that are axisymmetric with respect to the vertical axis 6, and these two arms "Hugs" the cable.

The cross section of the arm 2 is preferably circular, and its diameter or strength is determined according to the purpose of use, that is, the thickness and the number of the elongated objects to be held.

The support 2a is preferably bent to about 90 degrees about the vertical axis 6 so as to match the curves of the elements 2b-1 and 2b-2 that each supports. At this time, the distance between the arms 2 should not be smaller than the width of the narrowest portion of the breaching groove at any point.

The base 1 has a size in which at least a fixture receiving hole 3 for passing a fixture mainly composed of a screw is provided at the center thereof. However, the retainer of the present invention can be fixed using a magnet, an adhesive, or a suction cup, and the base 1 of the embodiment in those cases may not have the fixture receiving hole 3. However, it is necessary that each specification has a size enough to obtain a sufficient fixing force.

The shape of the base 1 is mainly a round shape, but may be other shapes depending on demand, for example, an elongated shape such as an elliptical shape so as to be suitable for fixing to a narrow surface such as a desk edge.

The cage of the present invention is preferably made of plastic or metal. However, ceramic, glass or wooden embodiments are also conceivable if desired from an aesthetic point of view.

The application of the retainer according to the invention as a cable holder has the following advantages compared with known cable holder solutions, among others:

-Cables can be individually inserted and removed at any time without using tools.

The individual cables can slide back and forth independently within the cage and rotate to change the direction of travel;

-Accidental derailment is prevented, despite the mobility of individual cables.

-The function is not impaired in any installation state such as orientation neutral, upward, sideways or downward.

The application of the retainer of the present invention as a wall hook has, inter alia, two advantages over known wall hook solutions.

• Hanged objects should be protected from accidental removal.

-An object such as a scarf or a string that is not easily held by a known wall hook can be detached by a simple operation so as not to slide down.

FIG. 2 is a top view of the embodiment shown in FIG. This shows the position of arm 2. It also shows the entire shape of the arm 2 from the base 1 to the tip, demonstrating the breaching groove that defines the open boundary between the inside and the outside of the cage of the invention.

FIG. 2 is a top view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and clearly shows an S-shaped breaking groove that smoothly connects the inside and the outside of the retainer. FIG. 2 also shows that two elements 2b in the breach groove area are connected to one support 2a at the outer end 5a of the breach groove area, respectively, so that two arms that are axisymmetric with respect to the vertical axis 6. 2 is formed.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the embodiment shown in FIG. This manifests the longitudinal dimension of the arm 2 as it first extends upward from the base 1 to reach a distance 5 and then stays at that height and continues to extend.

FIG. 4 is a left side view of the embodiment shown in FIG. From this point of view, it is also clear that the arm 2 extends first upward from the base 1 and continues to extend at the surface of the next reached height. FIG. 4 further demonstrates that the upwardly extending portion of the arm 2 is slightly bulged outward.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are views of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the front and side, where two elements 2b in the breaching groove region are positioned at a distance 5 from the base 1 by the support 2a. Indicates that it is supported in parallel with the base 1.

FIG. 5 shows the characteristics of the shapes of the two arms with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 using a top view and a perspective view.

Fig. 5 shows the details of the features of the arm with reference to Figs. 2 and 1, and clearly shows that the two elements 2b located in the breakthrough groove area are halves shifted by the radius along the diameter line of the circular ring. I do. The curve of the two elements is smoothly extended by a support 2a that extends 90 ° around the vertical axis 6 from each outer end 5a, with the distance between the two arms breaking through at any point. The support 2a may have a light bulge on the outside so as not to be smaller than the narrowest part of the groove.

FIG. 6 shows the mobility of the retained cable. The cable embraced by the two arms can move back and forth or up and down within the cage, and can also rotate to change direction of travel.

FIG. 6 shows horizontal and vertical movement within the retainer without accidentally disengaging from the retainer, since the retained cable cannot pass through the curved breach groove in its naturally straightened state, and It is an illustration showing that rotation is possible. This function does not depend on the installation orientation of the cage. Thus, the cage is orientation neutral in applications as a cable holder.

FIG. 7 shows the mobility of a loop suspended on one arm 2. Due to the shape of the arm on which the loop is suspended, the loop has a very large range of motion. The second arm serves as protection against inadvertent disengagement that can occur if the loop is pushed up.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the application of the cage as a wall hook, wherein the suspended loop is protected from accidental detachment by the shape of the arm 2 holding it and the second arm 2. On the other hand, it indicates that there is no obstacle to intentional disconnection.

FIG. 8 shows a method of inserting a cable when the retainer is used as a cable holder, and clearly shows a function of a breaking groove that separates the inside and the outside of the retainer. A flexible elongated object such as a cable can easily pass through an S-shaped curved breaking groove as long as it is not wider than the width of the breaking groove. At that time, the cable is slightly bent and is simultaneously guided along the S-shaped breaking groove. If this is done in the opposite direction, the cable can be taken out of the retainer. This is a very easy operation for human hands. However, no matter how mobile the cable is in the cage, and in whatever orientation the cage is installed, it is almost never accidental to insert or remove the cable.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the cable can be inserted into and taken out of the cage by slightly bending the cable at an arbitrary position and guiding the cable from one end of the breach groove along the breach groove path by hand.

FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B show two extended application examples when a soft textile such as a silk scarf is held by the retainer of the present invention.

FIG. 9A shows a first extended application where the silk scarf is kept from slipping. Here, first, a corner of the scarf is hung on the higher arm 2 so that the shorter portion T1 of the scarf hangs forward. At this time, the part T1 that hangs forward is passed behind the tip of the lower arm 2 and shifted so as to be sandwiched between the lower arm 2 and the remaining part T2 of the scarf. The scarf is thus held in the cage without slipping.

FIG. 9B shows a second extended application where the silk scarf is kept from slipping. In this case, the scarf is hung on the lower arm 2 so that the short portion T1 of the scarf hangs forward. Next, the remaining portion T2 of the scarf is hung over the base of the higher arm 2 so that the shorter portion T1 is sandwiched by the lower arm 2. The scarf is thus held in the cage without slipping.

The scarf held in this way can be quickly and easily moved by shifting the long part T2 sideways away from the short part T1 that is being sandwiched to reduce the compressive force and simultaneously pulling it downward. Can be removed from the cage.

FIG. 10 shows a further extended application example of holding a string or a rope. First, the string to be held is hung on the lower arm 2 so that the shorter portion T1 hangs forward. Next, the longer part T2 is pulled forward and shifted along the arm so that the shorter part T1 is pressed against the base 1 by the longer part T2. At the same time, turn the longer part T2 to the upper arm 2 and hang it on its base. Thus, the string is held in the retainer without slipping down.

9A, 9B and 10 show that an object such as a scarf or a string which is difficult to hold with a known wall hook also has a shorter portion T1 due to the two arms 2 of the retainer of the present invention. It is a diagram for explaining that by holding in a remaining portion T2, it can be held so as not to slide down. An object that is pressed and held by its own weight can be easily removed from the holder by lightly lifting the pressing part T2 and releasing the pressing part T1 from the pressure.

FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of a modified embodiment that is advantageous in a narrow mounting surface such as a desk edge, where the base 1 is oval and the support 2a has no rotation, from the top, front and side views. is there.

The retainer of the present invention has a base 1 capable of accommodating a fixture receiving hole 3 through which a fixture is passed at the center, and two elements 2b each of which is supported by a support 2a at a distance 5 from the base 1 and constitutes a breakthrough groove. -1 and 2b-2, wherein at least one element has a concave shape, and is a retainer for a flexible elongated object such as a cable or a textile.

The base 1 is large enough to accommodate at least a fixture receiving hole 3 through which a fixing fixture is passed.

Each of the two elements 2b-1 and 2b-2 in the breaching groove region has a point-symmetric S-shaped or mirror-reversed S-shaped breaching groove parallel to the base 1 at a distance of 5 from the base 1. A half of a regular polygonal or circular ring arranged along the axis of symmetry to form.

The support 2a is arranged on the center line of the base 1 such that the elements 2b, each forming a breaching groove, are supported at their outer ends 5a to form the arms 2 that are axially symmetric about the vertical axis 6.

The support 2a smoothly extends the curve of each of the two elements 2b forming a breakthrough groove, and in any part, while keeping the distance from the other arm 2 below the narrowest part of the breakthrough groove area. , Having a rotation of about 90 degrees around the vertical axis 6.

One embodiment according to the present invention has a round base with a fixture receiving hole in the center and a support rotated 90 degrees.

A further embodiment according to the present invention has an oval base with a fixture receiving hole in the center and a support without rotation.

As for the attachment method, it is preferable to fix with one screw through the fixture receiving hole.

The base may be glued, magnetized, clamped or suction cupped to allow for other mounting methods.

Metals, plastics, ceramics, glass or wood can be considered in the production of the cage of the present invention.

The retainer of the present invention, as a wall hook, helps to hang a hand towel, shopping bag, etc. quickly and easily indoors and outdoors, and protects the held object from accidental detachment. Particularly outdoors, the object can be held without being removed by the wind.

The cage of the present invention, as a scarf holder, helps display the beauty of silk scarves in the boutique, ambience and lifestyle markets.

The present invention relates to a flexible holder for a long object and a wall hook. The cage comprises a base 1 and two arms 2 forming an S-shaped breaching groove running parallel to the base 1 at a distance of 5 on the base 1. A flexible elongate object such as a cable can be moved into and out of the retainer at any time through the S-shaped breaking groove. The held cable is only loosely hugged by the two arms, so it can move inside the cage and rotate to change the running direction, but due to the shape of the breakthrough groove path, accidental derailment Is protected from. The accidental derailment prevention feature makes the present invention suitable for wall-mounted books. Further, the two arms can hold a textile such as a scarf so that it does not slide down and can be easily removed. The retainer is orientation-neutral and can be fixed with a single screw through the fixture receiving hole of the base, but a magnet, adhesive or suction cup mounting method is also conceivable. The material is mainly metal or plastic, but implementation with ceramic, glass or wood is also conceivable.

The embodiment of the present invention or its variant can also be provided as a furniture door or drawer handle in the DIY market.

In summary, the present invention is a creation of a retainer that can be applied as a cable holder and a wall hook.
