【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the wire lock fitting of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.

The wire lock attachment 1 of the present invention comprises a bicycle attachment portion 2 arranged at an upper portion and a wire lock attachment portion 3 arranged at a lower end side as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It becomes. In this embodiment, the bicycle mounting portion 2 and the wire lock mounting portion 3 are integrally formed of synthetic resin.

The bicycle mounting portion 2 is composed of a band piece 2 having an intermediate portion 21c formed in a thin plate shape. The intermediate portion 21c of the band piece 2 is bent and formed in an arc shape, and by this forming, the distal end portion 21a and the proximal end portion 21b are arranged so as to face each other with a predetermined gap. Further, the pipe housing portion 22 is formed inside by the molding. Then, as the distance between the distal end portion 21a and the proximal end portion 21b is widened or narrowed by the elastic force of the intermediate portion 21c, the diameter of the pipe accommodating portion 22 is expanded or reduced, whereby the part P of the bicycle body is Can hold. Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a groove 23 is bored from the front end portion 21a to the base end portion 21b at the left-right center of the intermediate portion 21c so that the intermediate portion 21c can be easily bent. Has been done. The shape of the pipe accommodating portion 22 is not limited to a circular cross section, and may be an elliptical shape or the like. Further, in the case where a break wire escape groove having a semicircular cross section is provided in the pipe accommodating portion 22 having a circular cross section, and a brake wire is provided in a part P of the bicycle body to be mounted, the bicycle You may make it hold a part P of this together with a brake wire.

Two bolt insertion holes 24, 24 are formed in the left and right portions of the tip portion 21a of the band piece 2, and a convex portion projecting toward the base end portion 21b at the lower end on the back surface side. 25 and are provided. On the other hand, on the front surface side of the base end portion 21b, two screw holes 26, 26 formed corresponding to the bolt insertion holes 24, 24 and a recess 27 for receiving the projection 25 at the lower end thereof are provided. ing.

The wire lock attachment portion 3 is for locking the wire W in the wire lock J (shown in FIG. 3), and is connected to the inlet / outlet opening 31 opened on the front surface and the inlet / outlet opening 31. The wire storage portion 32 is provided on the rear side thereof.

The inlet / outlet port 31 and the wire accommodating portion 32 are bored along the left end to the right end so that the center line p1 thereof inclines slightly to the lower left with respect to the shaft center p2 of the rotating wheel mounting portion 2. Has been done. The width v1 of the wire storage portion 32 is formed wider than the width of the loading / unloading opening 31 so that the wire W that has entered the wire storage portion 32 from the loading / unloading opening 31 is hard to come out of the loading / unloading opening 31 again. There is. On the other hand, the depth of the wire storage portion 32 is set to be approximately the same as the diameter of the wire W used. The upper and lower surfaces of the inside are formed in an arcuate cross section along the outer circumference of the wire W, and the upper surface forms the upper wire contact portion 33, and as shown in FIG. The portion W 1 disposed on the upper side of the wire W of the wire lock J is abutted. On the other hand, the lower surface forms the lower wire contact portion 34, and the portion W2 of the wire W disposed on the lower side contacts. Further, the lower wire contact portion 34 is gradually inclined downward from the right side to the left side with respect to the upper wire contact portion 33, and the width v1 at the left end is formed wider than the width v2 at the right end as shown in FIG. . The width v1 of the left end is made smaller than the lock body of the wire lock J so that the wire lock J locked in the wire storage portion 32 cannot pass from the left end to the right end.

The shape and the like of the wire storage portion 32 are not limited to those in the above-described aspect. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the depth of the wire storage portion 32 is increased and the upper wire contact portion 33 and the lower portion are connected. A pair of projecting pieces 33a, 34a facing each other in the front-rear center of each wire abutting portion 34 may be provided, and for example, two wire locks J may be simultaneously mounted. Further, the lower wire contact portion 34 is not limited to the one inclined as described above, but may be formed horizontally as shown in FIG. 6 showing the front view of FIG. 5 and can be appropriately changed.

Next, a method of using this wire lock fitting will be described. First, in order to attach the wire lock attachment to the bicycle, pull the front end portion 21a of the band piece 2 toward the front side (X direction in FIG. 2) to separate the space between the front end portion 21a and the base end portion 21b of the band piece 2. And then insert a part of the bicycle body, for example, the upper pipe P1 as shown in FIG. Then, the bolts 4 and 4 are set through the bolt insertion holes 24 and 24 of the band piece 2 and then tightened. Thereby, the diameter of the pipe accommodating portion 22 of the band piece 2 is reduced, and the wire locking fixture 1 is fixed to the upper pipe P1 by holding the upper pipe P1. Further, in this fixed state, since the convex portion 25 and the concave portion 27 of the band piece 2 shown in FIG. 2 are fitted, even if a downward load is applied to the wire lock attachment portion 3, the band piece is It is possible to reinforce the bolt insertion holes 24, 24, the screw holes 26 1, 26, and the bolts 4, 4 without the second distal end portion 21a being displaced upward with respect to the proximal end portion 21b 2, and thus, It can be fixed securely.

Then, the portion W1 of the wire W of the curved wire lock J in the locked state and the portion W2 of the lower portion of the wire W are pressed by hand to oppose each other. In the pressed state, the wire W is inserted into the wire storage portion 32 through the inlet / outlet opening 31, and the hand pressing the wire W is released. As a result, due to the elastic force of the wire W that tries to return to the original curved shape, the portion W1 disposed on the upper side and the portion W2 disposed on the lower side are respectively brought into contact with the upper wire of the wire storage portion 32. The portion 33 and the lower wire contact portion 34 are brought into contact with each other in a pressed state. The pressing force of the wire W increases as the diameter of the wire W in the bent state when the wire W is in contact with the upper wire abutting portion 33 and the lower wire abutting portion 34 is locked. Therefore, for example, when a large vibration is received during traveling, by storing the wire W portion having a large diameter in the wire storage portion 32, it is possible to reliably prevent the wire lock J from moving due to the vibration. On the other hand, in the case where it receives almost no vibration, if the wire W portion having a small diameter is stored, it can be easily put in and taken out, and it can be mounted while appropriately adjusting the pressing force.

As described above, the wire W is locked in the wire storage portion 32. In the locked state, the wire lock attachment portion 3 is slightly tilted to the lower left with respect to the axis p2 of the band piece 2, and the lower wire contact portion 34 is opposed to the upper wire contact portion 33. Since the wire W is inclined to the lower left, the wire W is arranged so as to be inclined to the left with respect to the upper pipe P 1 as shown in FIG. 3, and as a result, the upper wire W 1 does not hit the upper pipe P 1. It becomes a state. Therefore, when attaching the wire W, the upper pipe P1 can be easily carried out without obstructing it, and after the attachment, the upper wire W1 can be prevented from protruding above the upper pipe P1 and the traveling obstacles can be prevented. It will never happen.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 4, when the wire lock attachment is attached to the vertical pipe P2 or the lower pipe (not shown) of the bicycle, it can be attached in the same manner as above, but in this case as well. The inclination of the lower wire contact portion 34 prevents the wire W from hitting the standing pipe P2 or the lower pipe. Further, in this case, the inclination of the lower wire contact portion 34 causes the width of the wire storage portion 32 to gradually widen from the lower side to the upper side, so that the wire lock J rubs downward even if it is subjected to vibration or the like. Can be prevented.

With the above-described structure, the wire lock J is attached by utilizing the elastic force of the wire W. Therefore, the wire W only needs to be inserted in the wire storage portion 32, and the operation is simple and convenient for use. It will be

Although the bicycle mounting portion 2 and the wire lock mounting portion 3 are integrally formed in the present embodiment, they may be formed separately and connected. Further, the material and the like may be made of metal or the like. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the wire accommodating portion 32 is formed as a hole and is attached only by the elastic force of the wire W. However, the present invention is not limited to this aspect, and for example, the upper wire abutting portion in the wire accommodating portion 32 is used. By disposing an elastic member between the lower wire abutting portion 33 and the lower wire abutting portion 34, the lower wire abutting portion 34 is urged toward the upper wire abutting portion 33 side so that the wire accommodating portion 32 itself has a holding function. It may be held, and by doing so, it can be held more reliably by the elastic forces of both the wire storage portion 32 and the wire W. Further, the wire lock J used in the wire lock fitting 1 of the present invention is not limited to the one shown in the drawing, but can be adapted to various conventionally used ones. Further, in the present embodiment, the wire accommodating portion 32 having the wire W having the diameter along the lower wire abutting portion 34 and the upper wire abutting portion 33 is used. Any wire W having a diameter can be attached by its elastic force, and the wire lock J having the wire W having a small diameter can also be used. In the case of a wire W having a small diameter, the wire W may be wound in a double or triple loop to be stored.
