Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a cable locking structure for an output unit used by connecting to a small portable device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in a noisy workplace, an alarm device such as a buzzer or a vibrator, which is directly connected to the body of a small portable device with a reception function and is used to inform the worker, is used as a means to inform the worker of the danger. Has been done.

The structure of a conventional small portable device will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is an external view showing a conventional small portable device, and FIG. 7 is an external view showing a state in which a small portable device is equipped.

In FIG. 6, the small portable device body 1 has a built-in device for receiving a signal notifying a worker of danger. Upon receiving the signal, the small portable device body 1 sends a signal for activating the buzzer 4, which is an alarm device, from the plug 2 inserted in the device 1 through the connection cable 3 which is integrated with the plug 2. Output. Then, the buzzer 4 sounds and the operator can be informed of the danger.

As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the small portable device body 1 is attached to a belt 6 of an operator, and the buzzer 4 is attached to a chest port by a clip 5 having an integral structure as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. It is used by being attached to the outside and inside of the ket 7. 8 and 9 are enlarged views showing a state in which the alarm device is installed in the chest pocket.

However, as shown in FIG. 8, if the buzzer 4 is attached to the outside of the chest pocket 7, the buzzer 4 may be hit during work and may be damaged or dropped. If the alarm device is a vibrator, if it is attached to the outside of the chest pocket 7, the vibration may not be transmitted well to the body and it may not be possible to notify the operator of the danger.

Therefore, an alarm device such as a buzzer 4 or a vibrator is usually attached to the inside of the chest pocket 7 and used.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above conventional device has the following problems.

First, when the buzzer is put inside the chest pocket and attached, if there is something in the pocket, the connection cable of the buzzer hits itself and the elasticity of the connection cable itself causes the buzzer to move into the pocket. There was a case where the force pushed out from the device worked and the clip attached to the chest pocket came off.

Secondly, the attachment position of the output part is not limited to the chest pocket, and it may be attached to the collar of the work clothes or the overlapping part. In this case, the attachment direction of the buzzer and the exit direction of the connection cable are different. Since it was decided, depending on how you move your body, the connection cable could get in the way and make it difficult to work.

In the present invention, the conventional buzzer comes out of the pocket. Also, by solving the problem that the connection cable gets in the way and providing a cable locking part on the buzzer, the buzzer will not come off from the pocket and the exit direction of the connection cable can be selected. An object of the present invention is to provide a cable locking structure that can be used.

[0012]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a locking means for locking a cable at an output portion connected to a small portable device by a cable.

[0013]

[Action]

 Since the output portion is provided with the locking means for locking the cable, the elasticity of the cable can be suppressed, so that the output portion does not drop from the pocket due to the elasticity of the cable. Further, by locking the cable, the cable can be pulled out in the direction opposite to the connection portion of the cable, so that the exit direction of the cable can be selected and the cable does not get in the way.

[0014]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The elements common to the drawings are designated by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an alarm device, which is an example of an output unit, as an embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AB of FIG.

The buzzer 4 is connected to the small portable device body 1 by the connection cable 3 as in the conventional example.

In FIG. 1, the buzzer 4 is attached to the inside of the chest pocket 7 by a clip 5. The buzzer 4 is integrally provided with a cable locking portion 8. By fixing the connection cable 3 with the cable locking portion 8, the elasticity of the connection cable 3 is suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 2, a groove 9 having a substantially circular cross section is formed in the cable locking portion 8 of the buzzer 4, and the connection cable 3 is inserted in the groove 9. The width l1 of the groove 9 is slightly larger than the diameter l2 of the connection cable 3 (l1> l2), but the width l3 of the outlet of the groove 9 is smaller than the diameter l2 of the connection cable 3. (13 <12), the connecting cable 3 is designed so that it cannot be easily disengaged from the cable locking portion 8.

By providing the cable locking portion 8 that locks the connection cable 3 in this way, the elasticity of the connection cable 3 can be suppressed, so that when the buzzer 4 is mounted in the pocket, Does not come off from the chest pocket 7 due to the elasticity of the connection cable 3.

Further, by locking the connection cable 3, the connection cable 3 can be pulled out in the direction opposite to the direction in which the connection cable 3 is connected to the buzzer 4, so that the exit direction of the connection cable 3 can be changed. It becomes possible to make a selection, and the connection cable 3 can be pulled out in a direction that does not interfere.

In this embodiment, the cable locking portion 8 integrated with the buzzer 4 is shown. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the cable locking portion 8 may be divided into two parts. As shown in FIG. 5, a separate member such as the band 10 may be used. 3 and 4 are side views showing an alarm device, which is an example of an output unit, as another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line CD of FIG.

Further, although the buzzer is shown as the alarm device in the present embodiment, it can be applied to a small vibrator, a small microphone, etc. connected to a small portable device by a connection cable.

In the present embodiment, the clip is used as a means for attaching the alarm device to the chest pocket, but a leaf spring may be used instead of the clip, or a clip biased by a coil spring may be used.

Further, although the connection cable of this embodiment is connected to the small portable device body by a jack, the same applies to a structure in which the small portable device body and the connection cable are integrated.

[0025]

[Effect of the device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the alarm device, which is an example of the output unit, is provided with the cable locking portion, so that the alarm device can be attached even when the inside of the pocket is occupied. , The alarm will no longer slip out of your pocket.

Furthermore, since the exit direction of the connection cable can be selected, if the location where the connection cable does not interfere and the clip can be attached, the exit direction of the connection cable can be selected according to the location. You can
