Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a binder which can be accommodated freely to the difference in cross-sectional size of the bound objects. SOLUTION: A binder 1 is composed of a band part which is wound around cord-shaped objects or bar-shaped objects put together in a bundle and fastening hooks 2 provided respectively at the two ends of the band part and each designed to hook the other. A synthetic resin having good flexibility is used to form this binder 1. The band part of the binder 1 is formed in a zigzag. Especially by providing on the band part a biting piece 4 to hold to one fractional part of a plug cord 6 the biting piece 4 serves to bind folds of the plug cord 6 turned over.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a binding tool, and more particularly to a binding tool which is convenient for collecting power cords of portable electric appliances.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Power cords for household electric appliances and electric tools whose use positions are indefinite are made of a highly flexible synthetic resin material so as to be folded and held in a bundle so as not to get in the way when not in use. The binding band thus formed is used (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-25570).

[0003]

In the conventional type disclosed in the above publication, since the length of the band portion wound around the bundled power cords is regulated, this band portion when bundled It was not possible to bind a power cord other than a certain amount of power cord having a predetermined thickness corresponding to the length, and if the length or thickness of the power cord changed, the binding tool had to be changed accordingly.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems and to provide a binding tool that can freely cope with a difference in thickness when bundled, in the present invention, A tying member formed of a highly flexible synthetic resin material, which has a band portion wound around a string-like object or a rod-like object, and engaging hook portions provided at both ends of the band portion and engaged with each other. The band portion in this case has a folded bellows-like portion. Further, in particular, a biting piece for biting one power cord is provided in the band portion so that the folded and bundled power cord is bound.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described in detail based on specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 show a tie constructed according to the present invention. This binding tool 1 is formed of a band that is bent in an arc shape and has engaging hooks 2 that are curved in an arc shape at both ends, and is injection-molded from a hard synthetic resin material that is highly flexible. .

An arcuate plate portion 3 is provided at the center of the band. On the concave side of the arc-shaped plate portion 3, there is formed a biting piece 4 for sandwiching and holding a power cord made of a pair of vinyl-coated electric wires.

The portions between the engaging hooks 2 at both ends and the central arcuate plate portion 3 are connected by a bellows portion 5 formed by folding back a string-like object having a substantially rectangular cross section.

In use, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, first, the middle part of the power cord 6 to be bound is sandwiched between the bite pieces 4 to attach the present binding tool 1 to the power cord 6.
Next, the extended power cords 6 are folded and bundled at an appropriate unit length, and the binding tool 1 is rolled so as to wind around the bundled power cords 6 and the engaging hook portions 2 at both ends are brought close to each other. Then, the engaging hook portions 2 at both ends are hooked together. Here, since the generally hooked protrusion 7 is formed at the tip of the engaging hook portion 2, the engaging hook portions 2 interlocked with each other are prevented from coming off.

According to this, most of the binding tool 1 is composed of the expandable and contractable bellows section 5, and the elasticity of the material itself allows the engaging hook sections 2 to be freely extended. The thickness of the bundled portion can be easily changed depending on the length and thickness of the power cord 6. In addition, since the normal state is that the center is somewhat curved like an arc, the work of winding the binding tool 1 around the bundled portion of the power cord 6 can be easily performed.

The arc-shaped plate portion 3 on which the bite piece 4 is formed does not necessarily have to be provided at the center of the binding tool 1, but may be offset to either side, and the bellows portion 5 may also be extended as desired. It may be provided at an appropriate portion of the entire length depending on the rate. Further, although the above-mentioned embodiment has described only the mode used for binding the power cord 6, the binding tool of the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of appropriately cut and aligned pipes and rods are bundled. It can also be used for the purpose of bundling together and for fixing electric wires to columns and beams. In this case, the arc-shaped plate portion 3 on which the bite piece 4 is formed does not necessarily have to be provided.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the portion for holding the objects to be bound can be expanded and contracted, it is possible to easily deal with the difference in the amount and thickness of the objects to be bound.
