Description

Cable Guard {Cable Guarding Unit}

The present invention is a device for protecting the cable connecting the video game console and the game controller, including the upper and lower horseshoe which is fitted to the outside of the upper and lower body of the controller and a protective tube for receiving the cable of the controller for use of the controller It relates to a cable protector characterized in that the protection of the body and to prevent short circuit of the cable.

In general, the video game machine (PlayStation (PS2), XBOX, Cube, etc.) used at home is mainly composed of the main body of the game machine and the game controller (game pad, joystick, etc.), and the controller is connected to the main body of the game machine using a cable and operated. It is configured to be possible.

In addition, the home video game machine main body is installed inside a general commercial game machine and used for commercial use, and a commercial game machine equipped with a conventional video game machine is shown in FIG.

Commercial game machine 10 installed with a conventional video game machine, as shown, the video game machine main body 11 is installed inside and the game machine controller 12 connected to the main body 11 and the cable 13 connected to the outside. It is configured.

In general, the user operates the game while holding the controller 12 by hand.

Accordingly, the user may move the controller 12 held up and down left and right while playing a game, and may be located at the middle part or a certain portion of the commercial game machine 10 for the storage of the controller 12 at the start and the end of the game. As a result, the movement of the controller 12 occurs very frequently.

Due to the frequent movement and the length constraints of the cable 13 connecting the controller 12 and the game console main body 11, problems that frequently lead to a short circuit of the cable 13 or a breakage of the controller 12 have occurred.

In particular, the controller 12 may be excessively pulled out during the game, leading to short circuits or breakage of the cable 13 as well as damage to the internal substrate of the control passage 12 and breakage of the game machine main body 11.

In addition, the user deliberately pulled out the cable 13 and the controller 12 was stolen or lost, causing a problem of damage to the branch.

In order to protect the controller 12 as described above, the wire rope was additionally fixed to the controller 12 and the other side of the wire rope was fixed to the commercial entertainment machine 10, but was used in addition to the controller 12. Since the wire rope must be fixed, the user has a disadvantage in that it is more inconvenient to operate due to the inconvenience of being disturbed by the wire rope and the restriction of the length of the added wire rope when operating the controller 12.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the game controller and the cable, by providing a protective tube in addition to the outside of the cable to provide a safer and more flexible cable protector can arbitrarily adjust the cable length.
