Therefore, the fact that the optical fiber can be stored without breaking and the connector can be fixedly stored is
It is extremely important in transportation.

However, heretofore, the following devices have been only used as a device for accommodating the optical fiber cord with a connector.

[0006] A wire (or a plastic wire) is formed into an annular shape, a cord is wound along the annular wire, and several points are wrapped with a tape to be fixed.

The cord is simply wound and stored in an annular groove (recess) provided on the plate surface of the plastic storage plate.

When stacked and stored, it is very bulky.

Since the wound cord is not protected at all, there is a problem that the cord is apt to be painful and must be further packed.

In order to accommodate a connector wider than the cord, the annular groove must be formed with a margin much larger than the width required for accommodating the cord. Therefore, the cord and the connector are loosened in the annular groove and accommodated. Inferior in ability.

The cost is high due to the plastic molding.

Since there is no guide for storing the cord, it is troublesome and inferior in workability.

Since the cords are directly fixed, there is a problem in stacking and storing.

Since the cord is not protected at all, there is a problem in that the cord is apt to be painful and therefore needs to be further packaged.

The adhesive of the tape adheres to the product.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, for example, the optical fiber can be stored without breaking, the connector can be securely fixed and stored, and the storage recess can be stored with the positional deviation suppressed. Further, it is a technical subject to provide a cord storing method and a storing device with a connector, which can store the product of the present invention in a stack, have excellent mass productivity, and are extremely practical.

The pair of rotating discs 3 are rotated so as to be stored exactly without moving, and the transverse cord storing meandering concave portion 10 is rotated to move the position of the cord discharging end of the transverse cord storing meandering concave portion 10. Recessed connector fixing recess 9
To adjust the distance to.

In the present specification, the expression "code" means
For example, an optical fiber cord includes a so-called core wire that does not cover the optical fiber at all, a so-called cord that covers the core wire, and a plurality of core wires or a so-called cable that covers the cord, and does not mean only the so-called cord. Absent.

[0054]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to store the cord with a connector in the support plate together with the connector without misaligning the connector, and to secure the connectors at both ends. An excellent connector that can be configured so that even if the cord to be wound and accommodated by adjusting the rotation of the rotating disc has a different length, the cord can be securely fitted and accommodated without slackening and protruding from the recess for accommodating the cord. It becomes a cord storage method and storage device.

Further, since the cord to be accommodated can be accommodated with a bending radius of a certain value or more, it is required to be accommodated / carried in a state in which there is no portion where the cord is placed and a connector is attached, and the optical fiber cord is extremely weak against bending. It is a cord storage device with a connector that is most suitable as a storage device for.

Further, since it can be manufactured with a very simple structure and no cost as in the embodiment, it is excellent in mass productivity, and because it can be manufactured from paper materials such as cardboard, it can be designed extremely lightweight, Since it has a plate shape, it can be stored in a stack without being bulky, and the cord storage device with a connector exhibits excellent practicality such that the connector and the cord to be stored are not easily damaged.
