Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cord mounting device for a device provided with a cord such as earphones and headphones.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, compact audio equipment such as a portable CD has an internal structure of high density, and is becoming smaller and thinner. Due to its portability, it can be easily used from indoors to outdoors, and earphones and headphones are often used. Conventionally, as a means for attaching cords such as earphones and headphones used in such audio equipment to the equipment body after use, a winding mechanism directly on the equipment body or a winding mechanism using a mainspring is known. .

[0003]

However, with the means for winding the cord around the device body as described above, when the cord is detached from the device body and the cord is entangled when it is in a bag while being carried, the cord is entangled. There may be a problem that it is difficult to correct the entanglement. Also, in the winding mechanism, the cord is attached so that it cannot be attached to or detached from the device body, so if the cord fails, it cannot be easily replaced, which makes it impossible to use the device body. If the winding mechanism breaks down, it becomes impossible to mount it on the device body. Moreover, it can be said that the attachment of the cord by the winding mechanism is difficult to realize in a small-sized and thin device at low cost. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and has an object to realize an easy and inexpensive cord mounting device with a simple configuration.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the cord mounting device of the present invention is a cord mounting having a cord winding guide part for winding the cord attached to the device body. The body is configured so that it can be freely housed and mounted in the device body.

According to a second aspect of the invention, the base of the cord mounting body is rotatably mounted in the recess formed in the cabinet of the equipment body, and the cord winding guide portion of the cord mounting body is the above-mentioned. It is configured such that the cord mounting body can be housed and projected freely in the recessed portion.

Further, the invention according to claim 3 has a construction in which the cord mounting body is freely mounted and housed on the enclosing rib formed on the cabinet of the equipment body.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cord mounting body which has a cord winding guide portion for winding a cord mounted on the equipment body, and which is mounted on the equipment body so that it can be stored and projected freely. It is configured by an earphone jack having a protruding hook portion mounted on the device body.

The invention according to claim 5 has a construction in which a mounting groove for hooking a tip device is formed at the tip of the cord mounting body according to any one of claims 1 to 4.

[0009]

According to the invention described in each claim, the device main body has a function of attaching the cord to the device main body by the structure thereof.

Further, when the cord is used, the winding guide portion of the cord can be housed in the device body.

Further, the device body and the cord can always be carried as a unit. Moreover, when using the code, the code can be taken out in order.

Further, in the invention according to the fourth aspect, in addition to the above operation, the tip device attached to the tip of the cord can be attached separately from the cord without being entangled with the cord.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of essential parts showing a state in which the cord mounting body is stored in the device body when the cord is not mounted. FIG. 4 is a plan view of essential parts showing a state in which the cord mounting body is projected from the device body when the cord is mounted. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an essential part showing a state in which the cord is wound around the cord mounting device of the device body.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a cord mounting device, which is composed of a pair of cord mounting bodies 1a. Each cord mounting body 1a has a winding guide portion 3 of a cord 2 and a winding guide portion 3 of the winding guide portion 3. It has a tip portion 4 having a protruding portion at the tip, and a base portion 8 which is rotatably mounted by a pin 7 in a recess portion 6 of a device body 5 of a small audio device of a portable CD. Reference numeral 9 denotes a cabinet of the device body 5, which is composed of an upper cabinet 10 and a bottom cabinet 11. The cord in which the earphone jack 12 is attached to the device body 5 is wound around the winding guide portion 3 of the cord mounting body 1a described above, and the earphone 13 which is a tip device is provided at the tip portion 4 of the cord mounting body 1a. It is inserted in the mounting groove 14 and attached.

The operation of the cord mounting device constructed as above will be described below. As shown in FIG. 2, the cord mounting body 1a of the cord mounting device 1 has a base 8 and a bottom cabinet 11 each having a pin 7 at a base 8.
It is rotatably installed in the recess 6 of the cabinet 9 formed by. Therefore, when the cord 2 is not wound around the winding guide portion 3, that is, when the device main body 5 is played by inserting the earphone 13 into the ear in this embodiment, a pair of cords are attached as shown in FIG. The body 1a is rotated about the pin 7 as a rotation axis, and the recessed portion 6 of the cabinet 9 is rotated.
It can be inserted and stored. Therefore, the cord mounting device 1 does not interfere with the use of the device main body 5 when playing.

On the contrary, when the device body 5 is not played, the cord 2 is inserted from the recess 6 of the device body 5 as shown in FIG. Rotate and stand.

Therefore, the cord mounting body 1a is as shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the cord 2 is wound around the winding guide portion 3 of the pair of cord mounting bodies 1a, and the tip of the cord 2 is wound. The earphone 13, which is a device, can be inserted into the mounting groove 14 of the tip portion 4. Therefore, the cord 2 can be wound around the winding guide portion 3 without being entangled with each other, and the earphone 13 is engaged with the mounting groove 14 of the tip end portion 4 and the entire cord 2 can be compactly mounted on the device body 5. It can be mounted on the cabinet 9. Of course, when disconnecting the cord 2 from the cord mounting device 1, the cord 2 and the earphone 1
