Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To install wires removably without passing under the gaps of a wire holder and hold wires with various shapes and outside dimensions by a method wherein holding spaces which hold the wires which are holding subjects are formed between protruding parts and behind the gaps so as to be wider than the gaps and a surface opposite to the gap forming part is used as an attaching surface. SOLUTION: Gaps M are formed between adjacent protruding parts which are continuous in a base part 4. The gap M is formed so as to be finer than a wire. A holding space N is formed beneath the gap M and at a position lower than the hillsides of the protruding parts. The holding space N is wider than the gap M. The hillside surfaces 5 of the protruding parts of which the holding space N is composed are formed so as to be approximately parallel with surface parts 6 of the protruding parts of which the neighborhood of the gap M is composed. The adhesive material of a double-sided adhesive tape is applied to a bottom surface side. Therefore, wires can be held only by dropping the wires into the holding spaces formed in the lower parts between the protruding parts and can be removed from the holding space if necessary.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire holder used to collect a large amount of wires used in OA equipment and the like, to make the wire look beautiful and to clarify a wire route of the wire.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As means for combining a plurality of wires at a time, which has been conventionally used as a wire holder, the one shown in FIG. 7 can be exemplified. That is, a plurality of holding spaces H that can pass through the wire are provided, and further, a screw hole 10 for tightening these holding spaces H and screwing them into the installation location is provided. The wire holder shown in FIG. 7 is used to arrange wiring of OA equipment and the like.
The structure is not suitable for frequent movements. That is, it is necessary to screw the wire to the installation location after passing the wire through the holding space (H).

[0003] As means for holding a single wire, U
The installation of the wire rod has been performed using a type in which an adhesive tape (hereinafter referred to as U-shaped conventional technology) is applied to the installation side in a letter shape. For example, when the arrangement of ten wires of the OA equipment is used by using the U-type conventional technology, ten U
In order to prepare the conventional technology, the U type is arranged and pasted in about 10 rows along the flow of the wiring, the corresponding lines are arranged on the hook portions of the U type, and each hook portion is pressed down by hand. Wiring was stopped by deforming the shape by action.

On the other hand, the prior art shown in FIG. 8 has a structure in which a plurality of pencils or the like can be detachably attached to a plate member for a writing instrument. This FIG.
A stationery provided with a member for holding a writing instrument such as such is mentioned as one conventional technique, but in order to use it as a wire holding tool which is the object of the present invention, an optional installation means is further added, and Various treatments are required, such as increasing the inner holding space with respect to the gap between the protrusions.

[0005] When the wiring is arranged by such a method, problems arise in the following points. That is, the U-type prior art must be continuously arranged by the number of wirings. When the U-type conventional technologies are arranged continuously, even if they are arranged at least adjacently, the interval tends to be relatively widened. However, even in that case, the number of construction steps is large, and if the installation situation is observed, the result will be messy. In addition, the OA equipment is frequently changed, and its wiring is frequently changed. In addition, there are many cases in which the entire wiring is moved due to room remodeling, etc.In such a case, in the conventional case where it is continuously scattered, the number of man-hours required to remove it is necessary There is a problem that becomes. It is conceivable that the wiring stop is left when the OA equipment is moved and is used for another wiring. In such a case, it is necessary that the OA equipment can be reused repeatedly. Then, since it involves a shape deformation, there is a problem that it is not suitable for repeated use.

[0006]

Basically, a wire rod whose both ends are connected to some device is often attached to a predetermined installation position once the connection is completed. Preferably, a holder that can pass through the wire is not preferred. Also, OA
Due to the trend toward downsizing of devices, the positions of the wires and the connected devices have been frequently changed, and the number of times that the positions have been forced to change has increased. However, if the wire used is left on the floor, it may cause dirt, scratches, or cuts. In many cases, it moves to a very conspicuous position. Therefore, in such a situation, the required functions of the wire holder are that the wire holder can be installed without sneaking in, can be freely attached and detached, and has the ability to widely hold wires having various external dimensions. It is also important that they can be manufactured at a reasonable cost as a holder.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a wire holder according to the present invention has a plurality of projections which are continuous with each other. And a holding space N for holding the wire to be held is formed inwardly between the protruding portions and wider than the gap, and the gap facing the gap is formed. A mounting surface T is provided on the side.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention relates to a wire holder for holding an optical cable, a weak electric signal cable, a power cable and the like, and which can be easily and detachably mounted on a floor, a wall, a ceiling or a side of a desk. It is attached by adhesion or magnetic adhesion, and the attached wire holder has, for example, both ends already connected to an OA device or the like,
Usually, when the connection is disconnected, it is necessary to reconnect the cable while confirming the connection. Therefore, it is desired to arrange the wires without removing the connected wire. In order to satisfy such demands, the present invention pushes a target wire rod into a gap formed between a plurality of convex portions and drops the wire into a wire rod holding space provided therein. It is designed to hold a wire rod. In addition, any of the above-mentioned projections can be used, such as a solid one, a hollow one, or a part of a long material meandering and formed as a projection. However, since a flexible material is generally used, the wire holding device itself may be a hard material such as a metal in some cases, but a flexible material such as polypropylene or Teflon (trademark) and a material having a high electric insulation performance. Is preferred. It is also important that the wire holder can be easily connected to the installation location, and that it can be removed relatively easily when the equipment is moved, and that no damage occurs after the removal. A material or a magnetized material is provided. In some cases, the peak of the convex portion may have a meandering shape. In this case, the holding space also has a meandering shape. One advantage arises when employing this meandering configuration. Even if the gap between the projections is wider than the type that does not meander, it is hard to separate due to the straightness of the wire itself, the holding power is increased, or the allowable range of the thickness of the wire is increased. .

Is a plan view and (d) a bottom view. FIGS. 6A and 6B show another embodiment of the present invention in another form, wherein FIG. 6A is a front view, FIG. 6B is a side view, FIG. 6C is a plan view, and FIG. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a conventional technique of a type in which two wires are simultaneously screwed to an installation surface while being held. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a general form for holding a long object. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a modified embodiment of FIG. In the drawings, members having the same contents are denoted by the same reference numerals.

First, in FIG. 1, seven projections 1 are provided, each of which is continuous with a base 4. Further, a gap M is formed between the adjacent convex portions 1, and the gap M is desirably formed to be thinner than a wire to be held. Also,
A holding space N is formed below the gap M and at a position below the middle of the protrusion 1, and the holding space N is formed by the gap M
It is more widely formed. Further, the middle surface 5 of the convex portion forming the holding space M is formed substantially parallel to the surface portion 6 forming the vicinity of the gap M between the convex portions. That is, the space formed between the convex portions has a columnar shape. On the bottom side, an adhesive material usually called a double-sided tape is attached. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1 and shows an example of a state in which a wire is held.

FIG. 3 shows a modification of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1. When the present invention is embodied from a relatively hard material, the gap M is pushed out to make it difficult for the wire to enter. Therefore, the central part of the head of the projection is formed as a hollow. Other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. Note that a magnetically attached surface member is adhered to the bottom surface side of FIG. 3 instead of the adhesive material, and the entire main body is also formed of a magnetic material.

FIG. 4 shows a further modification of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. The major difference here is that the materials constituting the base 4 and the protrusions 1 are separately provided, and each of them is made of a flat material, and is deformed into a wave shape, thereby finally forming one of the surfaces that come into contact with the base. The difference lies in that all or all of the parts are bonded or welded. The present embodiment has the following features. First, since a flat material can be processed and manufactured without using an expensive mold, various gaps M can be appropriately prepared. By selecting a bonding point with the base 4, a very large range that can be expanded when passing through the gap M can be taken. For example, even in a state where there is almost no gap M, a thick cable can be passed through and held inside.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which FIG. 4 is modified.
Thus, even if the same material is used, the number of holding wires can be freely selected. Also, in FIGS. 4 and 5, the materials forming the base and the projections are separated, but for example, in the front view on the drawing, the left side may be made of a single plate in a continuous state. If necessary, an iron material or the like can be used, and can be formed by so-called pressing.

Next, with respect to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, in FIGS. 1 to 5 described above, it is configured to pass while expanding left and right, but in the embodiment shown in FIG. It is characterized in that, with the passage of the wire, the projection is partially deformed in the vertical direction in the front view and passes while deforming.

FIG. 9 shows a state in which the thickness of the present invention described with reference to FIG. 1 is made sufficiently thin, and furthermore, four sheets are juxtaposed on a substantially square base plate at intervals. With such a configuration, the wire can be slid diagonally. If necessary, it is also possible to form each projection three-dimensionally, as indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the lower left of the figure. In this manner, the same holding force can be obtained not only vertically and horizontally but also diagonally. Can be provided.

If the base material is sufficiently flexible in the form shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to use even the arrangement of wires at the corners of a room or a corner of a room, for example. If the fixing means formed by the adhesive surface or the magnetically-adhesive surface described above is a laying means using a sticking lay or a nail or a screw which is generally used when laying a carpet, the usable portion may be used for the entire room. It becomes possible.

The projection formed by the one-dot chain line in the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 can be further pushed into a spherical shape as shown by the dotted line. In other words, its shape is just like the shape of a matchstick. Further, it may be possible to configure so that the convex portion of the match stick shape is simultaneously provided on each square on the fifth eye. With such a shape, there is no longer any distinction between the vertical and horizontal directions, that is, the path of the wire held there is also free.

[0018]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above, and has the following effects. The present invention has a plurality of projections that are continuous with each other, forms a gap smaller than the wire that is the object to be held on the surface side between the projections, and forms a holding space that holds the wire that is the object to be held. Formed wider than the gap inward between the protrusions, and provided with a mounting surface on the opposite side of the gap, the wire rod is pressed from the protrusion side, the protrusion The wire is held by a simple operation of dropping it into the holding space below, and when it is necessary to remove the wire, it is removed simply by lifting with a certain force. The remaining main wire holder is not particularly deformed, and can be reused many times.

Further, by making the material of the convex portions flexible, a space between the convex portions can be expanded and contracted, so that a wire having a width larger than the width given by the gap portion can be freely passed. it can. On the other hand, since the mounting surface is provided on the side opposite to the convex portion, the sticking process can be freely performed at a desired position. Also, when the wire is laid around steel shelves, steel desks, etc., the above mounting surface is a magnetically attached surface,
The magnetic attachment allows the attachment process to be performed at a desired position.

On the other hand, by meandering the row of convex portions,
Even if the gap between the projections is wider than that of the type in which the projection does not meander, the straightness of the wire itself makes it difficult for the wire to come off, increases the holding force, or increases the allowable range of the thickness of the wire. In addition, since the shape of the projection is easily deformed by making the interior of the projection hollow, the allowable range of the thickness of the wire can be increased accordingly. Finally, the spheres may be scattered as spheres or polyhedrons, so that the spheres can be held in any shape such as oblique holding or U-turn holding.
