DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an earphone cord winding belt for processing an earphone cord connected to audio equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an audio device for outputting sound from a recording tape, a CD, an MD, etc., particularly in a portable audio device,
Earphones are used to listen to these sounds so that the sounds output from the audio device do not disturb the surrounding people. The earphone has a long cord so that it can be used even when it is placed in a familiar portable object such as a bag. However, if the cord of the earphone is long, even when the cord is put in a portable object such as a bag, the cord may hang down and be caught by surroundings. Further, when the audio equipment is directly put into a pocket of clothes or the like, the processing is troublesome because a long cord hangs down. Further, when the power supply of the audio equipment is turned off, there is a problem that unless the cord is processed by winding or the like, the cord is entangled and cannot be used immediately when necessary.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, a cord winding spring is provided in the case, and the cord of the earphone can be wound into the case by the urging force of the spring. It has been known. This cord winder can be stored in the case without entanglement of the cord, and the cord can be pulled out only as long as necessary for listening to the sound at the time of use. It has the advantage that it does not get caught on objects. However, this cord winder is expensive because it requires a case and a spring.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive and simple earphone cord winding belt.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an earphone cord wrapping belt according to the present invention is an earphone cord wrapping belt having a belt body formed of a bendable material. Mounting means for removably attaching the jack side of the cord provided on one end of the belt body in the longitudinal direction, and attachment for detachably attaching the earphone side of the cord provided on the other end of the belt body. Means, a cord winding portion for winding a cord between these attaching means, and a holding means capable of releasing the holding of the belt body in a folded state. .

Specifically, the cord attaching means and the belt body holding means in the cord winding belt of the earphone are characterized in that they are hook-and-loop fasteners in which the engaging portions are engaged with each other by pressing.

[0007]

[Effects of the Invention] One of the jack-side cord and the audio output-side cord of the earphone is fixed by one of the attaching means, and the intermediate portion of the cord is wound around the belt body a desired number of times. The earphone is attached to the belt main body by fixing with the other attaching means of the cord on the output side or the jack side. Next, when the belt body is bent and the bending posture is held by the holding means, the belt body to which the earphone is attached can be made compact.

More specifically, the mounting means and the holding means are constituted by hook-and-loop fasteners in which the locking portions are locked to each other by pressing, so that the cords on the jack side and the sound output side of the earphone are held and bent. The holding of the bent posture of the belt main body is reliable, and the holding of the cord and the holding of the belt main body posture can be easily released when necessary. In addition, since it has a simple structure in which a hook-and-loop fastener constituting an attaching means and a holding means is attached to the longitudinal end of the belt body, it can be applied to a cord winder of an existing earphone that requires a spring or a case. It can be cheaper and lighter in comparison.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a belt main body 2 of a cord winding belt 1 of this earphone is shown.
Is formed in a rectangular shape by a suitable bendable material such as a woven fabric, and the earphone 3 on which the cord is wound around the cord winding belt 1 is, as shown in FIG.
One end of the long cord 4 has a jack 5 inserted into an audio connection section (not shown) of the audio equipment, and the other end has one or two (two in the illustrated example) audio output sections 6 and 6. Each is electrically connected and installed.

[0010] As shown in FIG.
The belt main body 2 constitutes an attaching means 8A for attaching the cord 4A on the jack 5 side to one end in the longitudinal direction of the back surface.
Of the plurality of locking portions 9a and 10a
A pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 9 and 10 which are locked to each other are mounted close to each other. And the tip of the hook-and-loop fastener 10,
Narrow hook-and-loop fastener 1 that falls down toward hook-and-loop fastener 10
2 are attached, and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 is provided with a large number of locking portions 12a on both surfaces.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the opposite side of the surface fastener 9 on the surface of the belt body 2, a surface fastener 13 having substantially the same shape as the surface fastener 10 and having a large number of locking portions 13a is attached. The hook-and-loop fasteners 11 and 12 constitute an attaching means 8B for attaching the cord 4B of the audio output units 6 and 6, and the hook-and-loop fasteners 11 and 12 are provided.
And the hook-and-loop fastener 13 constitute a holding means 14 for holding the belt body 2 in a bent state.

In the above-described embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener 9 is bent toward the hook-and-loop fastener 10 by positioning the hook-and-loop fastener 9 toward the hook-and-loop fastener 10 between the hook-and-loop fasteners 9 and 10 attached to the belt main body 2 near the end of the cord 4A on the jack 5 side. When pressed, a large number of locking portions 9a and 10a provided on these hook-and-loop fasteners lock each other, whereby the cord 4A on the jack 5 side is attached to the belt main body 2 (see FIG. 3). Next, a long cord 4 is attached to the winding portion 7 of the belt body 2 between the hook-and-loop fasteners 10 and 11.
After winding the intermediate portion of the desired number of times, the surface fastener 12 is pressed on the surface fastener 11 by placing the surface fastener near the end of the cord 4B on the side of the audio output units 6 and 6 and pressing the surface fastener 12 toward the surface fastener 11. By interlocking a large number of locking portions 11a and 12a of these surface fasteners 11 and 12, the audio output portions 6 and
The code 4B on the sixth side is fixed.

In this state, the belt body 2 is bent,
When the opposing hook-and-loop fasteners 11, 12 and 13 are pressed, the belt body 2 is held in the bent position by the interlocking of these many locking portions 11 a, 12 a and 13 a, thereby as shown in FIG. In addition, the cord winding belt 1 around which the cord 4 of the earphone 3 is wound can be made compact. The attachment means 8A and 8A
The installation of the code 4 by the B
B can come first.

In the above embodiment, the hook-and-loop fasteners 9 and 10 each having a wide locking surface near the end of the cord 4 of the earphone 3.
And the fixing means 8A, 8B consisting of 11 and 12, the hooks of the hook 4 and the cords 4A, 4B on the audio output unit side are connected to the belt body 2 by the locking of the hooks of the hook-and-loop fasteners. Can be mounted securely. In this case, in the above embodiment, the hook-and-loop fasteners 9, 10 and 11, 12, 13 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the belt body 2.
Has a simple configuration in which the cable is simply mounted, so that it can be made cheaper and lighter than an existing cord winder that requires a spring and a container. Further, since the width of the hook-and-loop fastener 12 having the locking portions 12a on both sides is narrowed, the hook-and-loop fastener 12 constituting both the attaching means 8B and the holding means 14 can be made inexpensive.

Furthermore, the bent posture of the belt body 2 is maintained by the engagement between the hook-and-loop fasteners 11 and 12 and 13 which form the holding means 14 and have a wide locking surface, so that the cord 4 is wound. Cord winding belt 1
Can be made compact. In addition, since the mounting means 8A and 8B and the holding means 14 are all constituted by hook-and-loop fasteners, it is possible to easily maintain the bending posture of the belt body 2 and release the cords 4A and 4B as necessary.
