DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in the construction of a wiring tool, particularly a wiring tool used for passing various wires such as electric cords under the floor or under the ceiling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a plurality of electric wires and the like are passed under the floor, behind a ceiling, or in a predetermined pipe, it is difficult to pass such electric wires or the like directly through a narrow space because the wires are clogged or bent on the way. Since the operation is extremely difficult, the wire is passed through these wires using a tool.

[0003] As such a conventional wire tool, there is a piano wire having a certain degree of hardness. In particular, when passing through a long distance, a piano wire having a large thickness is used, and in the wire-passing work, first, a piano wire as a wire-through tool is inserted into a space to be routed. Then, a wire to be passed is attached to any one end of the piano wire, and the wire is pulled out to the other end side, that is, the tip side or the tail end side where the piano wire is inserted, so that the wire is passed through the space. I have. Alternatively, a wire is attached to a piano wire, a wire to be passed is attached to the wire once passed, and the wire is pulled back to the other end.

[0004] As other wiring tools, tools made of relatively hard plastics or metal wires coated with vinyl are used. Is the same as

[0005] In recent years, with the rapid progress of office automation, various types of OA equipment have been installed indoors, and in such buildings called intelligent buildings, many traffic lines are expected. It is designed in such a way that a large wiring space is secured, and the wiring work is relatively easy. However, it is very difficult to pass wires through the floor of a building having a conventional structure or under the ceiling for wiring.

For example, in the narrowest range, it is necessary to provide a plurality of wires under the floor with a gap of 2 cm above and below. Therefore, a tool such as the above-mentioned conventional plastic-adhered tool or a coated metal wire is easily bent during the wire passing operation, and when there is an existing wire, it is located above or below the wire. It is very difficult to pass through the gap. In the case of piano wire, depending on its thickness, it has a considerably high strength, and it is possible to perform wiring work even in a narrow range, but it is easy to damage existing wires, and when using thick objects, It is very difficult to perform the winding operation after the completion, and a troublesome operation is required. That is, there is a problem that the winding operation cannot be performed unless a plurality of operators are used.

In order to solve such problems, the applicant of the present application has proposed a wiring tool mainly composed of a tape-shaped member having a predetermined rigidity (referred to as a tape-shaped lead wire in the specification of the present application). (JP-A-7-274334).

[0008]

However, this tape-shaped wire tool achieves easy wire movement by making it possible to move smoothly in a narrow space.
It has a certain rigidity to ensure stability when moving in the space, so if it is a long wire tool corresponding to a relatively long distance, it will be necessary to handle it. Requires skill. In other words, it is necessary to hold the tape-like lead wire in a wound state because it is long, and when the holding state is released, the tape-like lead wire expands vigorously due to the rigidity, so that it is compactly wound. There is a situation that a casing for maintaining the rolled state is necessary, and it must be usable in the wound state.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wiring tool capable of facilitating a wiring operation using a tape-shaped wiring member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a line tool according to the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a view showing an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a storage case 10 and a tape-shaped lead wire 20 stored in the storage case 10 as shown (referred to as a lead wire 20 in the present embodiment).
have.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lead wire 20 has a locking portion 22 at its tip. The lead wire 20 is formed of a steel material having a predetermined rigidity, and the surface thereof may be covered with a resin material in some cases. For example, it is also possible to coat the surface of a steel material with vinyl chloride. Note that the width of the lead wire 20 is 8 to 14 mm,
The thickness is about 0.5 to 3 mm. The flat surface is provided with scales for length display at predetermined intervals.

The locking portion 22 has a side surface shape as shown in FIG. 3, and is pushed forward over obstacles such as other wiring cords at the curved surface portion 22a at the bottom. .

The lead wire 20 is fixed to the locking member 22 at the fastening members 24a and 24b of the locking member 22 shown in FIG. In addition, a ring member 26 is attached to the distal end of the locking member 22 so as to penetrate the through hole 28. The ring member 26 can be fitted and locked into a ring locking recess 30 formed on the upper surface of the locking member 22.

Further, on the upper surface of the locking member 22, there is formed a luminous body mounting groove 32 into which a luminous body (a commercially available luminous body utilizing chemical change) can be pushed and locked. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the ring member 26 is actually locked in the ring locking recess 30.

Next, an actual use of the wire passing tool according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this drawing, for example, a description is given of a case in which a wiring operation is performed in a wiring space on a floor having a double structure. First, the above-mentioned luminous body 31 is set in a luminous state and mounted in the luminous body mounting groove 32. Next, as shown in this figure, the lead wire 20 is inserted into the wiring space on the floor from the locking member 22 side, which is the distal end side, through the removed opening of the floor panel. At this time, the ring member 26 is locked in the ring locking recess 30 so as not to swing and hinder the progress.

Then, the pushing operation is continued until the leading end of the lead wire advances to the destination. At this time, since the light emitting body 31 emits light, the position can be confirmed by looking into the wiring space from the target location side, and the movement of the lead wire 20 to the target location can be performed more smoothly. . As shown in FIG. 5, the feed operation of the lead wire 20 is performed while the worker holds the storage case 10 in an upright state and gradually pulls out the lead wire 20 from the storage case 10. . The lead wires stacked and wound during the pull-out operation of the lead wire 20 are easily pulled out while sliding and rotating in the storage case 10.

At the stage when the locking member 22 at the tip of the lead wire 20 reaches the target position, the operation of attaching the nominal wire is performed.
FIG. 6 shows this operation state, in which the ring member 26 attached to the leading end of the locking member 22 is attached to the ring member 26 by connecting a nominal line 34 or the like. And lead wire 2
0 is slowly pulled back to the lead wire feed position shown in FIG. In this operation, the lead wire 20 is rewound while being pushed back into the storage case 10 simultaneously with the retraction. Therefore, when the retraction operation is completed, the lead wire 20 is pushed back into the storage case 10 and stored.

Then, an electric cord or the like to be wired is attached to the call line 34 attached to the lead wire and pulled back, and the call line is pulled back from the target portion side, and the desired wire operation is completed. In the present embodiment, in order to prevent a defective state of the pull-out and push-back operation of the lead wire 20 from occurring in the wiring operation according to the present embodiment, in the present embodiment, the storage case 0 is provided with a width regulating structure. .

That is, FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C
As shown in FIG. 5, a width regulating portion 11 for regulating the width of the inside of the case slightly smaller is formed in a predetermined length range in the vicinity of the opening ends 10a and 10b formed in a part of the circular arc of the storage case 10. doing.

This operation will be described with reference to FIG. 8. In the case where the lead wires 20 housed in a stacked and wound state are displaced laterally due to vibration or the like during operation, the inner space of the housing case 10 is If the width is large, the lamination state may be broken, which may cause a state in which the lead wire 20 cannot be put in and out. Therefore, the width W1 is set to be larger than the width of the lead wire 20 but not to break the laminated state, and the narrow width portions are formed at both ends. For example, by setting the width W1 to a limit of 1.5 times the width of the lead wire 20, it is possible to prevent the lamination state from being broken while allowing a smooth rotational sliding operation.

It should be noted that such a width restricting portion 11 has its function by being formed only at both ends as in the present embodiment. Further, a plurality of portions or the entire storage case 10 is shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a shape in which the width is regulated as described above.

Next, FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The feature of the present embodiment is that a configuration for making the winding of the lead wire 20 easier is provided.

That is, the storage case 40 is
It is configured as a box-shaped casing having an inner space width slightly larger than the width of zero. That is, the width of the lead wire 20 in the direction orthogonal to the laminating direction and the width in the thickness direction of the case are regulated. A rotating core 42 rotatably mounted on the shaft is provided at a substantially central position, and the lead wire 20 is wound around the rotating core 42 from the tail end side. In this stacked and wound state, the width of the inner space side of the storage case 40 is formed to a restricted width that is slightly wider than the width of the lead wire 20. Therefore, it is effective that the stacked state is broken during the operation. Is prevented.

A lead wire insertion / reception port 44 is formed at a corner at the lower position in the installed state of the storage case 40. Further, in the present embodiment, the storage case 4
A self-standing stand 46 is attached to the housing 0, and the function of the self-standing stand 46 enables the storage case 40 to be erected vertically during operation. In the present embodiment, the self-standing stand 46 is formed of a pipe-shaped member, one end of which is fixed to one side surface of the storage case (not shown), and the storage case 40 falls down on both front and rear sides in the figure. It has a bent shape that protrudes so as not to have.

According to the wiring tool having the above structure, the lead wire 2
0 is pulled out from the inlet / outlet 44 and inserted into the wiring space under the floor.
Is located near the floor, so that the lead wire 2
It is very easy to insert zero. Further, since the insertion operation of the lead wire 20 does not need to be performed while the storage case 40 is held by an operator, and is always erected on the floor, the insertion operation of the lead wire 20 is very easy. It is.

When the operation of inserting the lead wire 20, that is, the operation of withdrawing the lead wire 20 from the storage case 40 is completed, and the next operation of pulling back the lead wire 20 is performed, the rotary core 4
By manually rotating the handle 48 for rotating the lead 2, the lead wire rewinding operation can be performed with a simple operation.

FIG. 11 shows a modification of the lead wire 20. That is, the cross-sectional shape in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the lead wire 20 is bent. Figure (A)
Shows an example in which the surface is curved at a predetermined curvature, and is shown with the concave side facing upward in the figure. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the concave side may be used downward. Fig. (B)
Shows an example in which a plurality of bent portions are formed and bent into a polygonal shape. Further, FIG. 3C shows an example in which it is bent at substantially one center.

By bending the lead wire 20 in this manner, the strength against stress from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction increases, and it is possible to suppress the bending during the operation of the wire, that is, the movement of the lead wire 20. Thus, when the lead wire 20 moves over obstacles or moves under other cords when moving, it can be effectively prevented that the work becomes difficult due to waving. In addition, the degree of bending and the bending angle when the lead wire 20 is bent in this manner can be variously set as long as the winding operation of the lead wire 20 is not hindered.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of each of the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. The material of the storage case 10 according to the first embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably formed of a resin in consideration of securing strength and reducing the weight. Further, the shape of the locking member 22 formed at the distal end of the lead wire 20 is not limited to the shape shown above, but may be any shape as long as it has a low resistance to proceed in the wiring space. Can be applied.

Also in the second embodiment, the formation position of the lead-in / out port 44 is not limited to the above-mentioned lower corner, and the storage case 40 may be provided depending on the place where the wiring operation is to be performed. It can be set at various positions such as the upper surface side or the intermediate position.
