  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The plug removal prevention tool according to this embodiment includes a plug holder 10 as shown in FIG. The plug holder 10 may be used in combination with the winding tool 20 as shown in FIG. 1 or may be used alone without being combined with the winding tool 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the plug holder 10 includes a wire 11, two thin pieces 12 and 13, an adhesive tape 14, and a release paper 15.

  The wire 11 includes a bent portion 11a formed in a U-shape and straight portions 11b extending from both ends of the bent portion 11a, and is formed by insulating coating a metal wire. The wire 11 is desirably as thin as possible in order to facilitate winding along the plug 40, and specifically, the diameter of the metal wire is desirably 0.35 mm or less. Further, the insulating coating of the wire 11 is applied to the entire metal wire, and the tip of the wire 11 is also covered. By coating the tip portion in this way, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the tip of a very thin metal wire is stuck in the human body.

  The two thin pieces 12 and 13 sandwich and hold the bent portion 11a of the U-shaped wire 11, and are composed of a first thin piece 12 on the front side and a second thin piece 13 on the back side. The first thin piece 12 and the second thin piece 13 are formed in the same size, and as shown in FIG. 5, a U-shaped wire groove 12a for arranging the bent portion 11a of the wire 11 inside each of them. , 13a are recessed. The first thin piece 12 and the second thin piece 13 are bonded to each other in a state where the bent portion 11a of the wire 11 is sandwiched between the wire grooves 12a and 13a, so that the wire 11 is firmly held.

  A raised portion 12b is formed on the surface of the first thin piece 12 at a position corresponding to the wire groove 12a on the front and back sides. The raised portion 12b serves as a mark for visually recognizing the position of the bent portion 11a of the wire 11 from the outside (surface side).

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 14 is attached to the surface of the second thin piece 13 and is an adhesive means for fixing the thin pieces 12 and 13 to the equipment 30.

  The release paper 15 is for protecting the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape 14. When the release paper 15 is peeled off from the adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 14 during use, the adhesive surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 14 is exposed and can be fixed to the equipment 30.

  When the plug 40 is fixed using the plug holder 10, as shown in FIG. 6, the thin pieces 12 and 13 are fixed to the equipment 30 using the adhesive tape 14, and both ends of the wire 11 are connected to each other. The plug 40 is fixed to the devices 30 by being wound around a member on the plug 40 side (the plug 40 itself or a member fixed to the plug 40). Since the wire 11 according to the present embodiment is very thin, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the root of the plug 40 can be entangled by being inserted into a groove 41 or the like for easy bending. The wire 11 entangled with the plug 40 holds the plug 40 firmly by maintaining a plastically deformed state.

For example, when the plug 40 (USB memory) having no catch as shown in FIG. 8 is fixed, the winding tool 20 as shown in FIG. 7 may be used.
The winding tool 20 includes a plate-like base portion 21 that can be fixed to the plug 40, and first and second protrusions 22 and 23 formed on the surface of the base portion 21.

  Although not particularly shown, the base portion 21 includes an adhesive means such as an adhesive tape on the back surface, and can be fixed to a flat surface in the same manner as the plug holder 10.

  The first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 23 include short cylindrical shaft portions 22b and 23b, and head portions 22a and 23a provided at upper ends of the shaft portions 22b and 23b. The head portions 22a and 23a are formed with a larger diameter than the shaft portions 22b and 23b. The shaft portions 22b and 23b are provided with insertion holes 22c and 23c through which the wire 11 can pass. In the present embodiment, the insertion hole 22 c formed in the first protrusion 22 is formed through the longitudinal direction of the winding tool 20, and the insertion hole 23 c formed in the second protrusion 23 is short of the winding tool 20. It is formed penetrating in the hand direction. In this way, the two insertion holes 22c and 23c are formed so as to penetrate in different directions (for example, orthogonal directions), so that the insertion holes 22c and 23c can be used properly according to the use environment or the like.

  If this wrapping tool 20 is used, even if it is a plug 40 (USB memory) without a catch as shown in FIG. The plug 40 can be fixed to the housing.

  As a method of winding the wire 11 around the protrusions 22 and 23, for example, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the wire 11 divided into two pieces may be bundled and wound around the protrusions 22 and 23. Further, the wire 11 may be inserted through the insertion holes 22c and 23c and wound.

  By the way, when the plug holder 10 is fixed to the devices 30, the space for fixing the plug holder 10 may be limited. For example, a plurality of plug holders 10 may be arranged side by side, but if the plug holders 10 are arranged and fixed to the devices 30 as they are, they may overlap each other. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 9, by cutting the thin pieces 12 and 13 of the plug holder 10, the area of the thin pieces 12 and 13 can be reduced. At this time, as described above, since the raised portion 12b of the mark is formed on the surface of the first thin piece 12 along the wire groove 12a, the thin pieces 12 and 13 are made small to the limit so as not to cut the wire 11. Can be cut.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the plug 40 can be fixed to the equipment 30 by winding both ends of the wire 11 around the plug 40. Also, the wire 11 can be entangled and fixed. According to such a plug removal prevention device, when the thin pieces 12 and 13 are attached to the back side of the equipment 30, the plug 40 can be fixed in a state where only the thin wire 11 is visible, so that the plug 40 is not conspicuous. Can be fixed. In addition, since the wire 11 is entangled and fixed, the plug 40 can be fixed to the equipment 30 easily, and it can be made difficult to be tampered with by wrapping it multiple times.

  Moreover, since the bent portion 11a of the single U-shaped wire 11 is sandwiched between the two thin pieces 12 and 13, for example, the pulling resistance of the wire 11 is compared with an embodiment in which two straight wires are sandwiched between the thin pieces. Can be increased. That is, it is possible to make it difficult for the wire 11 to be removed from the thin pieces 12 and 13, so that the wire 11 is not pulled out of the thin pieces 12 and 13 and the plug 40 is not fixed.

  Further, since the mark is provided so that the position of the bent portion 11a of the wire 11 can be visually recognized from the outside, even if the space for fixing the thin pieces 12 and 13 is narrow, the thin piece 12 is matched to the shape of the equipment 30 and the like. , 13 can be used by cutting. In addition, when the bending part 11a of the wire 11 cannot be visually recognized from the outside when the thin pieces 12 and 13 are cut in accordance with the shape or the like of the equipment 30, the wire 11 is cut by mistake, and as a result, the wire 11 becomes the thin piece 12. , 13 may be easily removed. However, if the bent portion 11a of the wire 11 is visible from the outside, it is possible to prevent a mistake that the wire 11 is accidentally cut.

  Further, since the entire wire 11 is provided with an insulating coating, it is possible to improve insulation, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and the like. Further, since the tip of the wire 11 is coated, problems such as the tip of the wire 11 being stuck in the human body and being injured are unlikely to occur.

  In addition, a wrapping tool 20 used in combination with the plug holder 10 is provided, and the wrapping tool 20 includes a base portion 21 that can be fixed to the plug 40 and a plurality of protrusions formed on the surface of the base portion 21. 22 and 23, and by wrapping both ends of the wire 11 around the plurality of protrusions 22 and 23, the plug 40 can be fixed to the equipment 30. Even when there is no catch, the plug 40 can be fixed by tangling the wire 11 to the plurality of protrusions 22 and 23. Moreover, even when there is a catch for tangling the wire 11 to the plug 40, the plug 40 can be more reliably fixed by using the winding tool 20.

  Further, since the projections 22 and 23 are provided with insertion holes 22c and 23c through which the wire 11 can be passed, the wire 11 can be more reliably passed through the insertion holes 22c and 23c. Can be fixed. For example, if the wire 11 is passed through the insertion hole 22c of the first protrusion 22 provided along the insertion direction of the plug 40, the plug 40 can be fixed with less difficulty in lateral shaking.

  In the above-described embodiment, two protrusions are provided on the winding tool 20, but the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more protrusions may be provided. Further, the direction of the insertion hole provided in the protrusion is not limited to the above-described aspect, and can be provided in any direction. Moreover, it is not essential to provide the insertion hole in the protrusion, and the insertion hole may not be provided.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the raised portion 12b is formed on the surface of the first thin piece 12 as a mark for visually recognizing the position of the bent portion 11a of the wire 11, but the mark is not limited thereto, for example, A groove may be formed as a mark, or a flat mark may be provided by printing or the like.
