I have.

[0003]

However, when the internal space of the movable partition wall is used, the space width in the thickness direction of the movable partition wall is not so large. Therefore,
If the cord is stored in the space in a casual manner, the cord may be inadvertently pinched between the panel and the frame when the panel is subsequently fitted, so be careful when assembling the movable partition. This leads to the disadvantage of cost.
In addition, when the panel is inserted with the cord sandwiched, the possibility of disconnection also arises, and if a computer has the property of storing important recorded information, the loss associated with the disconnection is also attempted. It will be unknown.

As a method of converging the above-mentioned cord in the movable partition wall, it is conceivable to converge the cord by using a cord-like member. When a power cord is to be added in the partition wall, the convergence by the string-shaped member must be temporarily released. In addition, the cord must be converged again by the string-shaped member, which makes the operation complicated. Further, even when such a method is adopted, the converged code gets on the frame, so that it is still unavoidable to pay attention when fitting the panel.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cord hook and a supporting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 1 shows an entire configuration of an embodiment in which a cord hook according to the present invention is applied to a movable partition wall. In this figure, a movable partition wall 10 includes left and right vertical frames 11, a horizontal frame 12 as a stationary member bridged between the vertical frames 11, and an area formed by the vertical and horizontal frames 11, 12. Panel 1 fitted
3 is provided. This movable partition wall 10
Is used, for example, by arranging a desk or the like on both front and rear sides thereof and directly attaching a desk top plate or the like on which a computer or the like can be mounted via an appropriate bracket.

In the movable partition wall 10, a plurality of concave portions 15 are formed on both front and rear portions of the vertical frame 11 and the horizontal frame 12, and each of the concave portions 15 is provided with a cap 16 which can be opened and closed on the front side. The protection cover 17 is fitted. The cord C is routed through the space inside the cord protection cover 17.

A power outlet 20 and an information transmitting outlet 21 are embedded in the second panel 13 from the top. One end of a power supply or an information transmission cord C is connected to each of the outlets 20 and 21, thereby electrically connecting computers (not shown) arranged on both front and rear sides of the movable partition wall 10. Alternatively, it is possible to connect electronic devices.

The cord C is converged by a cord hook 23 supported on the lower surface of the horizontal frame 12. This cord hook 23 is integrally formed of a suitable resin material, and as shown in FIG.
An engaging portion 25 suspended from and held by the horizontal frame 12 and a holding portion 26 connected to the engaging portion 25 are provided. The holding portion 26 is a hanging piece connected downward from the engaging portion 25. Between the cord holding area 28 and the hanging piece 27
And a hook piece 29 that forms

The engaging portion 25 includes a substantially U-shaped member 25A branched in a bifurcated manner so that the upper portion is open, and a pair of claw pieces 25B formed at both ends of the U-shaped member 25A. Have been. An inclined edge 25D is formed at an outer corner portion of the nail piece 25B. Here, the engaging portion 2
As shown in FIG. 4, 5 is provided in a shape in which the width in the substantially orthogonal biaxial direction on the same plane is different. That is, the width W1 between the outer edges of the nail pieces 25B along the direction connecting the pair of nail pieces 25B is set to be larger than the width W2 in the long dimension direction. The width W3 connecting the inclined edge 25D in the diagonal direction is set to be slightly larger than the width W1. A reinforcing rib 25C is provided on the inner bottom surface of the U-shaped member 25A.

A pair of hook pieces 29 are arranged so as to sandwich the hanging piece 27 from the lower end of the hanging piece 27 in the middle. As shown in FIG. 3, these hook piece portions 29 are formed so that their side end surfaces form a substantially anchor shape with the hanging piece portion 27 as the center. A cord holding region 28 having an open upper portion is formed between each hook piece 29.

The horizontal frame 12 constituting the stationary member
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the side end surface is provided in a shape similar to a substantially H-shape. In particular,
A prismatic core member 30 located at a central portion;
And a rail-shaped member 31 formed at each of the upper and lower positions. The rail-shaped member 31 is vertically opposed to a flat portion 33 and an upright piece 34 protruding in a direction substantially perpendicular to the flat portion 33 via an inclined piece 35 at the tip of the upright piece 34. And a folded piece 37 formed so as to abut each other. In the lower rail-shaped member 31 of the pair of upper and lower rail-shaped members 31, ridges 38 are formed on the respective surfaces of the upstanding pieces 34, respectively. A groove 40 is formed to allow the claw piece 25B to be freely engaged and disengaged.

The lower rail-shaped member 3
1, the width W between the standing pieces 34, 34 (see FIG. 6) is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the width W1 between the outer edges of the claw pieces 25B, 25B. The width is set to be considerably larger than the width W2 of the claw piece 25B in the longitudinal direction. Further, each of the standing pieces 34, 3
4 is the width W3 between the inclined edges 26D of the claw pieces 25B.
It is set slightly smaller than.

Next, the code hook 23 in the present embodiment will be described.
Will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 as well.

In the initial stage of supporting the code hook 23 on the lower surface of the horizontal frame 12, the width W of the claw piece 25B is
The cord hook 23 is abutted so that one direction is along the longitudinal direction of the flat portion 33 of the horizontal frame 12. In this state,
Each claw piece 25B does not engage with the groove 40 at the same time. Thereafter, when the cord hook 23 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7, the width W3 between the inclined edges 25D of each claw piece 25B is slightly larger than the width W between the upstanding piece portions 34.
B bend inward to approach each other. Further, by further rotating, each claw piece 25B is fitted into the groove 40, whereby the cord hook 23 can be suspended and held on the horizontal frame 12.

When the cord hook 23 is thus supported, the cord hook 23 can be moved along the groove 40, and can be set at an arbitrary position in the axial direction of the horizontal frame 12.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
And a large number of cords C can be converged in the cord holding area 28 by hooking each cord C on the open portion of the cord hook 23 (see FIG. 5).

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since each cord C is hooked on the cord hook 23 and can be converged, it is possible to neatly arrange the wiring in the movable partition wall 10. Moreover, since the possibility that a large number of cords C are mounted on the horizontal frame 12 of the movable partition wall 10 can be effectively avoided, when the panel 13 is fitted into the vertical and horizontal frames 11 and 12, the cord C is inserted. There is no risk of being pinched, and the work of fitting the panel 13 is also facilitated.

In the above embodiment, the cord hook 23
Is illustrated and described in the case where is applied to the movable partition wall 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example,
It can also be used in the space inside the wall of a building. In this case, it suffices that the horizontal rail for fixing the wall panel is a stationary member, and the horizontal rail can support the cord hook 23. In short, the cord hook 23 according to the present invention can be widely applied to a structure having a certain space in which the cord C can be routed.

In the code hook 23,
Although a pair of hook pieces 29 are arranged on both sides of the hanging piece 27, if the space width in the thickness direction in the movable partition wall 10 is small, only one of them may be formed.
Further, in the above embodiment, the hanging piece 27 and the hook piece 29
Although the upper part of the shape is an open shape, it may be a closed loop shape. However, when the configuration of the embodiment is adopted, it will be advantageous when increasing or decreasing the code C or changing the routing position thereof.

In the illustrated embodiment, only one cord hook 23 is used. However, one or more cord hooks 23 can be provided at a plurality of positions on each horizontal frame 12.

[0027]

The present invention is configured as described above, and
Therefore, according to this, a large number of codes can be easily and quickly converged, and even when changing the wiring layout or the like, it is possible to easily change only a specific code without any inconvenience. It is possible to provide a cord hook and a supporting structure for the cord hook, which have an unprecedented excellent effect of being able to perform the above.

In particular, since the engaging portions having different shapes in the substantially orthogonal biaxial directions in the same plane are formed, the attachment and detachment of the cord hook to and from the stationary member for supporting the engaging portion can be easily performed by a rotating operation. Can be done. Moreover,
Since the cord hook can be moved along the groove, the cord hook can be set at an arbitrary position in response to a change in the cord drawing position, and the degree of freedom can be given in the drawing direction.

Further, by providing the hanging piece, it is possible to hold the cord at a position relatively distant from the engaging portion, and there is no danger that a hand may hit the stationary member during the cord routing work. , The work can be performed easily.

Further, since a holding area is formed between the hanging piece and the hook piece so as to be open, there is no need to insert the cord from the end, and the holding is performed by hooking the cord in the middle. This makes it possible to pass through a cord or the like having a relatively large plug or the like at the end, so that no trouble is caused. Further, even when the number of cords is increased or decreased, it is sufficient to take only the corresponding cords in and out of the open portion, which is extremely easy as compared with a case where many cords are converged by a string-like member. Convergence can be performed.

Further, the configuration in which the hook pieces are disposed on both sides of the hanging piece enables a wide code holding area to be ensured, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with an increase in the number of cords.
