Next, the operation of the cable bundling tool of the present invention constructed as described above will be described. In the present invention, two cable bundling tools are applied to the extra length part of the cable, and the cables are connected to the first groove of one bundling tool → the second groove of the other bundling tool → the bundling tool of one bundling tool. By passing the second groove to the first groove of the other bundled wire, the bundle can be easily and orderly bundled. As a result, the bundled portion can be bundled without slack, so that the appearance is also excellent. In addition, when the number of cables is large, if the color of the bundling device is changed for each cable, selection and the like can be performed easily. The sixth aspect of the invention is effective when the extra length of the cable is too long, and the seventh aspect of the invention allows the bundled cables to be routed along a device or the like.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cable bundle tool according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, this cable bundling device has, for example, a linear first groove 2 on one side surface of a main body 1 made of synthetic resin, and a substantially U-shaped second groove 3 on the other side surface. It was formed in a proper manner.

As shown in FIG. 2, this cable bundling tool uses two cables as a set, and the cable 21 of the extra length portion is used.
The first groove of one of the wire bundles 22 → the second groove of the other wire bundle 23 → the second groove of the one wire bundle 22 → the other wire bundle 2
It is used so as to pass through with the first groove of No. 3.

Therefore, the first groove 2 is formed so that the cable is pushed in from the direction orthogonal to the cable axis and held in a straight line, but the entrance portion is narrow so that the pushed cable does not come out. Also, it is formed slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the cable so that it does not easily move along the cable. In short, the first groove 2 is formed to slightly dig into the coating of the cable, but since it has a little elasticity, the position adjustment at the time of mounting can be performed without any trouble.

On the other hand, the second groove 3 is formed in a substantially U shape so that the folded-back top portion of the cable is pushed in and held in a direction orthogonal to each other. The cable can be moved within the groove to facilitate length adjustment of the extra length.

Although the first groove 2 is shown in FIG. 1 as a structure in which the cable is inserted along the side surface of the main body 1,
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the cable may be pushed in from a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface of the main body 1.

Further, although the second groove 3 is shown as a substantially U-shaped one in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the top of the letter is missing. There is an advantage that the cable can be easily attached.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the first groove 2 and the second groove 3 may be arranged on the same side surface side of the main body 1.

Also, in the above description, the first groove 2 and the second groove 2
The grooves 3 of FIG. 6 are parallel to each other.
Alternatively, they may be arranged in directions orthogonal to each other.
In this case, the second groove 4 holds the cable in a straight line like the first groove 2. In FIG. 2, cable 2
Although the folded-back portion of 1 is arranged slimly, when the cable bundling tool shown in FIG. 6 is used, it is not as slim as in FIG. 2, but the purpose of bundling can be achieved.

If the extra length of the cable is considerably long, it can be accommodated by making the second groove deep enough to stack the cables in multiple layers.

Although not shown in the drawings, if the cable bundling tool is integrally formed with a fastener to be attached to a device, a desk, a wall, etc., the bundling portion can be aligned with the device or the like.
The aesthetics can be further improved. For example, in terms of what is shown in FIG. 5, a magnet or the like is attached to the back surface.

[0023]

As described above, since the cable bundling tool of the present invention has the first groove and the second groove, two cable bundling tools are applied to the extra length portion of the cable, By passing the cable through the first groove of one of the wire bundles → the second groove of the other wire bundle → the second groove of the one wire bundle → the first groove of the other wire bundle As a result, the bundling can be performed easily and orderly, and as a result, the bundling processing portion can be bunched without slack, so that the appearance is excellent. In addition, when the number of cables is large, if the color of the bundling device is changed for each cable, selection and the like can be performed easily. The sixth aspect of the invention can effectively cope with the case where the extra length of the cable is considerably long, and the seventh aspect of the invention has the effect that the bundled cable can be routed along the device or the like.
