Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field of the Present Invention> The present invention relates to a cord holding device that is preferably applied to electronic equipment such as audio equipment.

<Background Art> Generally, in electronic equipment such as audio equipment, a cord holding column 22 is installed on the side of a cabinet 21, as shown in FIG.
A circular plate 23 is screwed onto the tip of this holding column 22 to form a cord holding part 24, and the cord 25 is directly operated by hand both when winding and unwinding the cord 25.

Therefore, the operation is cumbersome, and improvements in this respect have been expected.

<Purpose of the present invention> The present invention was devised in view of the drawbacks of the conventional devices as mentioned above.It has an extremely simple structure, and a cord holder is attached to the cabinet so that it can rotate only in one direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cord holding device in which the cord can be wound or unwound by rotating the cord holder when either winding or unwinding.

<Configuration of the present invention> An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a cord holding device according to the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 represents a cabinet of a tape deck as an electronic device, which is made of synthetic resin material such as plastic.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a circular cord holder support opening drilled in the side wall surface of the cabinet 1, and a circular cord holder support opening 2 is provided along the periphery of the support opening 2, gradually extending from the center of the cord holder support opening 2 toward the tip. an engaging claw 3 that reduces the radius of curvature of the cord holder support opening 2; and an insertion opening 4 formed by cutting out the circumference of the cord holder support opening 2.
There are two of each.

5 is a cord holder, and the cord holding part 6
, a partition flange 7, a gear 8 having a smaller diameter than the partition flange 7, and engaging protrusions 9, 9 formed to protrude radially outward from two locations on the tip of the gear 8. They are provided one after another in the axial direction and are hollow 5' except for the end face on the cord holding part side.

The cord holder 5 configured as described above is attached to the side wall surface of the cabinet 1 through the cord holder support opening 2. When attaching the cord holder 5, first, attach the cord holder 5 to the engaging protrusion 9. , 9 toward the side wall surface of the cabinet 1, and insert the engaging protrusions 9, 9 into the insertion holes 4, 4.
Insert the cord holder into the support opening 2 until the partition flange 7 comes into contact with the side wall surface.

Then, when the partition flange 7 comes into contact with the side wall surface, the cord holder 5 is rotated approximately 90 degrees so that the engaging protrusions 9, 9 are removed from the insertion holes 4, 4 (in this embodiment, the engaging claws 3 Rotate clockwise in Figure 1 from the shape of ).

This completes the installation of the cord holder 5 on the side wall surface, and the state is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

In this installed state, as shown in FIG.
is engaged with the teeth of the gear portion 8 to prevent the cord holder 5 from rotating to the left.

Moreover, as shown in FIG.
is code 1 derived from inside cabinet 1.
3 is wound.

This cord 13 reaches the cord holder 6 through a through hole 10 provided in the cord holder 6.

Therefore, in order to actually attach the cord holder, the cord 13 is wound around the cord holder 6 in advance, and the other end of the cord 13 to which the plug 14 is not attached is passed through the through hole 10 into the hollow part of the cord holder 5. 5' and further into the cord holder support opening 2, and then attach the cord holder 5 to the side wall surface of the cabinet 1 as described above.

Further, the cord holder 5 is provided with a cord engaging recess 11 and a knob 12 in the cord holding portion 6.

In FIG. 2 above, the plug 14 of the cord 13
is another electronic device, such as amplifier cabinet 1.
5 into the jack 16.

At this time, if the distance between the cabinets 1 and 15 is far and the cord 13 is short, the cord 13 can be untied from the cord holding part 6 by directly operating it by hand;
If it is long, hold the knob 12 and rotate the cord holder 5 clockwise in the figure to wind the cord 13 around the cord holder 6. When the cord 13 is stretched, stop rotating the cord holder 5 and the engaging claw 3 will wrap the cord 13 around the cord holder 6. Since the gear portion 8 is engaged, the cord 13 does not loosen as shown in FIG.

<Effects of the present invention> Since the present invention is constructed as described above, a cord holder support opening having an engaging pawl and an insertion opening is provided in the cabinet, and a cord holding part gear part and an engaging protrusion are provided in the cabinet. This is an excellent invention that can provide a cord holding device that can rotate the cord holder in one direction by simply attaching the cord holder having the above-mentioned structure, and is extremely simple and easy to use.
