Description

Wire fastener

The present invention relates to a fastener, and particularly relates to a wire fastener.

The computer case requires a lot of wires due to the installation of various electronic parts. When the wires are randomly distributed in the computer case, it will affect the air flow inside the computer case, thereby reducing the heat dissipation effect in the computer case. Therefore, most of the wire fasteners are currently used to put multiple wires into the corresponding accommodating space respectively, so as to achieve storage and have the advantages of individually repairing the wires.

Generally speaking, the specifications of wire fasteners are fixed. Depending on the number of wires, you need to purchase wire fasteners of different specifications. For example, if the number of wires is arranged in a single layer, a single-layer wire fastener is used; if the number of wires is arranged in a double layer, a double-layer wire fastener must be used. In addition, if there is not enough space for long wire fasteners, you also need to purchase additional double-layer wire fasteners. However, the above two points are likely to cause material control and cost problems, and the use of fixed specifications of wire fasteners is relatively limited.

The invention provides a wire fastener which has better flexibility in use.

The wire fastener of the present invention includes a base and a plurality of retaining walls. The base includes a pre-folded part, a first base part and a second base part. The pre-folded part is located between the first base part and the second base part. The retaining walls are scattered on the base to divide the base into multiple accommodating spaces. When the base is located at a first position, the first base portion and the second base portion are located on the same plane. When the base is bent to a second position through the pre-folded portion, the first base portion overlaps the second base portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned base has a first extension direction, and each retaining wall has a second extension direction, and the first extension direction is perpendicular to the second extension direction.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the aforementioned base is smaller than the height of each retaining wall.

In an embodiment of the present invention, each of the aforementioned retaining walls includes a connecting portion and a blocking portion, and the connecting portion connects the base and the blocking portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a first width of the aforementioned connecting portion is smaller than a second width of the blocking portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned base and the retaining wall are integrally formed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned pre-folded portion is a groove.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the aforementioned wire fastener further includes a first buckle portion and a second buckle portion. The first buckle portion is disposed on the first base portion, and the second buckle portion is disposed on the second base portion. When the base is bent to the second position through the pre-folded portion, the first buckle portion buckles the second buckle portion so that the first base portion overlaps the second base portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention, one of the first buckle portion and the second buckle portion is a slot, and the other of the first buckle portion and the second buckle portion is a hook .

In an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned orthographic projection of the retaining wall on the base does not overlap the pre-folded portion.

Based on the above, in the design of the wire fastener of the present invention, the base is divided into a plurality of accommodating spaces for accommodating wires through the arrangement of the retaining wall. When the base is located at the first position, the first base portion and the second base portion are located on the same plane. This means that the wires can be arranged in a single layer, and the wire fasteners can be regarded as single-layer wire fasteners. On the other hand, when the base is bent to the second position through the pre-folded portion, the first base portion overlaps the second base portion. This means that the wires can be arranged in double layers, and the wire fasteners can be regarded as double-layer wire fasteners. In short, the wire fastener of the present invention can have better flexibility in use.

In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1B is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the wire fastener of FIG. 1A from another perspective. Fig. 1C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the wire fastener of Fig. 1A. Fig. 2A is a perspective schematic view of the wire fastener of Fig. 1A in a second position. FIG. 2B is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the wire fastener of FIG. 2A from another perspective. 2C is a schematic cross-sectional view of the wire fastener of FIG. 2A.

Please refer to 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C at the same time. In this embodiment, the wire fastener 100 includes a base 110 and a plurality of retaining walls 120. The base 110 includes a pre-folded portion 112, a first base portion 114 and a second base portion 116. The pre-folded portion 112 is located between the first base portion 114 and the second base portion 116. The retaining walls 120 are scattered on the base 110 to divide the base 110 into a plurality of accommodating spaces C.

In detail, the wire fastener 100 of this embodiment is made of plastic or other elastic materials, for example. The pre-folding portion 112 is disposed at the center of the base 110, and the base 110 can be divided into a first base portion 114 and a second base portion 116. The base 110 has a first extension direction D1, and each retaining wall 120 has a second extension direction D2, and the first extension direction D1 is perpendicular to the second extension direction D2. In other words, the retaining wall 120 is vertically arranged on the base 110. Here, the thickness T of the base 110 is smaller than the height H of each retaining wall 130, so the defined accommodation space C may have a relatively deep depth. Preferably, the base 110 and the retaining wall 120 are integrally formed, but not limited to this.

Furthermore, each retaining wall 120 of this embodiment includes a connecting portion 122 and a blocking portion 124, and the connecting portion 122 connects the base 110 and the blocking portion 124. Here, the connecting portion 122 has a first width W1, and the blocking portion 124 has a second width W2, and a first width W1 of the connecting portion 122 is smaller than a second width W2 of the blocking portion 124. In other words, the width of the retaining wall 120 is not a fixed value, but is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. In other words, the diameter of the accommodating space C distinguished by the arrangement of the retaining wall 120 on the base 110 is narrow in the upper part and wider in the lower part, which can effectively reach the limit of the wire 10 accommodated in the accommodating space C. In particular, the orthographic projection of the retaining wall 120 on the base 110 does not overlap the pre-folding portion 112, so the arrangement of the retaining wall 120 will not affect the bending of the base 110. Preferably, the pre-folding portion 112 is embodied as a groove, but it is not limited to this.

In addition, the retaining wall 120 of this embodiment further includes a plurality of openings 123, and each opening 123 is located at the center of a retaining wall 120 to divide the retaining wall 120 into two parts to lower each retaining wall 120. The structural strength of, makes the retaining wall 120 easy to produce elastic deformation, which is beneficial to the installation and removal of the wire 10.

In addition, the wire fastener 100 of this embodiment further includes a first buckle portion 130 and a second buckle portion 135. The first buckle portion 130 is disposed on the first base portion 114, and the second buckle portion 135 is disposed on the second base portion 116. More specifically, the first buckle portion 130 is located on the first side S1 of the base 110, and the second buckle portion 135 is located on the second side S2 of the base 110. Preferably, one of the first buckle portion 130 and the second buckle portion 135 is a slot, and the other of the first buckle portion 130 and the second buckle portion 135 is a hook. Here, the first buckle portion 130 is embodied as a hook, and the second buckle portion 135 is embodied as a card slot, but it is not limited to this.

Please refer to FIG. 1C again. When the base 110 is located at a first position P1, the first base portion 114 and the second base portion 116 are located on the same plane P. At this time, when the wire 10 is accommodated in the accommodating space C, it can be arranged in a single layer. In other words, when there is enough space or when the wires 10 are to be arranged in a single layer, the base 110 can be located at the first position P1. At this time, the wire fastener 100 can be regarded as a single-layer wire fastener.

2A, 2B and 2C at the same time, when the base 110 is bent to a second position P2 through the pre-folded portion 112, the first buckle portion 130 buckles the second buckle portion 135, so that the first A base portion 114 overlaps the second base portion 116. At this time, when the wire 10 is accommodated in the accommodating space C, a double-layer arrangement may be present. In other words, when there is not enough space or when the wires 10 are to be arranged in two layers, the base 110 can be located at the second position P2. At this time, the wire fastener 100 can be regarded as a double-layer wire fastener.

In short, the present embodiment can easily transform a wire fastener 100 into a single-layer wire fastener or a double-layer wire fastener according to usage requirements, thereby solving the problems of conventional material control and cost. When the base 110 is located at the first position P1, the first base portion 114 and the second base portion 116 are located on the same plane P. That is, the wire 10 can be arranged in a single layer, and the wire fastener 100 can be regarded as a single-layer wire fastener. On the other hand, when the base 110 is bent to the second position P2 through the pre-folded portion 112, the first base portion 114 overlaps the second base portion 116. That is, the wire 10 can be arranged in a double layer, and the wire fastener 100 can be regarded as a double-layer wire fastener. In this way, the wire fastener 100 of this embodiment can have better flexibility in use.

It should be noted that this embodiment only schematically illustrates eight accommodating spaces C, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of accommodating spaces C can be set according to usage requirements. In addition, in another unshown embodiment, the wire fastener may not be provided with the first buckle portion and the second buckle portion. For example, a permanent magnet is provided at the bottom of one of the first base part and the second base part, and the bottom of the other one of the first base part and the second base part is provided with a feeling A magnetic element, and there is a magnetic attraction between the first base part and the second base part to force the base to bend through the pre-folded part; or at the bottom of the first base part and the second base part A set of devil sticks is provided, and the base is bent through the pre-folded portion so that the first base portion overlaps the second base portion. The above all belong to the scope of the present invention.

To sum up, in the design of the wire fastener of the present invention, the base is divided into a plurality of accommodating spaces for accommodating wires through the arrangement of the retaining wall. When the base is located at the first position, the first base portion and the second base portion are located on the same plane. This means that the wires can be arranged in a single layer, and the wire fasteners can be regarded as single-layer wire fasteners. On the other hand, when the base is bent to the second position through the pre-folded portion, the first base portion overlaps the second base portion. This means that the wires can be arranged in double layers, and the wire fasteners can be regarded as double-layer wire fasteners. In short, the wire fastener of the present invention has better flexibility in use.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
