Description

  The present invention can wind a cord such as an earphone or a headphone, has a clip portion, and adjusts the position of the cord winding holder body with respect to the cord length direction while the cord is wound, or the cord The present invention relates to a cord take-up holder capable of continuously fine-tuning the drawer length.

  There are various types of portable audio equipment such as a magnetic tape type, an optical disk type, a flash memory type, and a hard disk type, and in any case, music or the like can be enjoyed using headphones or earphones. Headphones or earphones are connected to the acoustic device via a cord.

  For a user who uses the above-described portable audio device, the processing of the headphones or earphone cords is troublesome when the audio device is not used. If you put the cord in a bag without worrying about it when you have finished using headphones, the cord will get tangled and it will take time to unwind it the next time you use it. It is inconvenient to put in and out other things because the code is disturbed in the cage. When using headphones or earphones, if the length of the cord is too long or too short, the hands of the cord may be caught on the cord, and the headphones or earphones may fall off the user's ears. There is.

  In order to solve such a problem, for example, a portable audio device has been proposed that includes a mechanism for winding and storing a cord inside the device. However, the provision of the take-up and storage mechanism is not preferable for portable audio equipment that is required to be reduced in size and weight because the structure of the audio equipment is increased in size and the weight is increased accordingly. Further, in the case of a relatively small acoustic device, since a further small winding portion is formed inside, there is also a drawback that the core wire of the cord is easily broken due to the winding shape and the tension at the time of winding. Further, the winding device has a complicated structure, is fragile, and if it is broken, it needs to be repaired as a player equipment body, which is inconvenient for the user.

  From the above, it is required to be able to easily and appropriately handle cords such as headphones when not in use or in use, and a cord winding holder has been proposed. For example, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, a remote control protector that protects a remote control and can wind a cord is proposed. This remote control protector is made of a stretchable material such as a rubber material, and the left plate portion and the right plate portion are connected by a pair of upper connecting portions and a pair of lower connecting portions, A portion sandwiched between the left plate portion and the right plate portion serves as a winding portion around which the cord of the headphone remote controller can be wound. Three L-shaped notches are formed as locking portions on the left plate portion and the right plate portion, respectively. Similarly, three L-shaped notches are formed as locking portions below.

  However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 does not consider using a cord such as an earphone or a headphone while being wound around a cord winding holder. Therefore, the length of the cord is adjusted with the cord winding holder, and it is adapted to the real life of the user, such as preventing the cord length from shaking and getting in the way when exercising or using a mobile phone. Did not consider the needs.

  Also, once the cord is wound around the winding portion and locked by the locking portion, the cord is fixed to the remote control protector body, and after being wound around the cord, the position of the remote control protector body relative to the cord can be adjusted. could not. Therefore, when the user is using earphones or headphones, the conventional cord winding holder cannot adjust the position of the cord winding holder with respect to the cord length direction or the cord drawing length. . If the cord pull-out length is not appropriate, it is necessary to change the number of windings to the take-up holder, and the operation is troublesome and the length adjustment pitch is fixed so that continuous length adjustment cannot be performed. There are also difficulties.

  In the cord winding holder, the present invention has a winding portion that winds the cord, a flange portion that is formed at both ends of the winding portion, and is larger than a longitudinal section of the winding portion, and at least one flange portion is cut. A cord locking portion provided in a shape, and a cord locking portion is formed on one of the flange portions at both ends of the winding portion, and a clip portion is provided on the other flange portion. It is the most important feature.

  According to the present invention, in the cord winding holder mainly used for headphones or earphones, the cord locking portion is formed on one flange portion of the flange portions at both ends of the winding portion, and the other flange portion The clip part is provided so that the cord is fixed during use, and the cord interferes with the user's normal life, such as when the length of the cord is excessive when exercising or using a mobile phone. Can be prevented.

It is a perspective view which shows the Example of the cord winding holder concerning this invention. It is a top view of the said Example. It is a front view of the said Example.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the cord winding holder according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In addition, the Example demonstrated below shows a preferable example, Comprising: For example, it is not limited to the shape of the flange concerning this Example, or the shape of a winding part.

  In FIG. 1, a cord winding holder 5 includes a winding portion 1 that is a portion for winding a cord (not shown), and a flange portion 11 that is formed at both ends of the winding portion 1 and is larger than the longitudinal section of the winding portion 1. 12 and a cord locking portion 3 provided in a shape in which one flange portion 11 is cut. The cord locking portion 3 has a key hole shape composed of a cord introduction portion 3B for receiving a cord while compressing the cord, and a cord insertion hole 3A having a diameter larger than that of the cord formed in communication with the cord introduction portion 3B. Yes. In the illustrated embodiment, the take-up portion 1 and the flange portions 11 and 12 are integrally formed of plastic, but they may be formed as separate parts and joined together. The cord locking portion 3 is formed on one flange portion 11 of the flange portions 11 and 12 on both sides of the winding portion 1, and the clip portion 5 is integrally provided on the other flange portion 12. The clip portion 5 includes an arm portion 4A that extends from one end of one flange portion 12 in parallel with the flange portion 12.

The three-dimensional shape of the winding part 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the planar shape (the shape seen from the front side of the flange part 11 or 12) is a rectangular shape. Flange portions 11 and 12 are formed at both ends in the thickness direction of the winding portion 1. The planar shape of the winding unit 1 may be a shape that can wind the cord, may be a square shape, and may have a rounded shape such as a circle or an ellipse.
Since one flange portion 11 forms the locking portion 3, the projected area from the front is larger than that of the other flange portion 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the flange part 11 is flat and the planar shape is substantially rectangular. The cord locking portions 3 are provided symmetrically at both ends of the flange portion 11 in the length direction, more specifically, at two diagonal positions of the front rectangular shape of the flange portion 11. . The cord introducing portion 3B of the cord locking portion 3 has a diameter narrower than the thickness of the cord and receives the cord while compressing the cord. For this reason, the cord once inserted into the cord locking portion 3 is unlikely to fall off by the cord introduction portion 3B. A cord insertion hole 3 </ b> A that communicates with the cord introduction portion 3 </ b> B and is formed on the back side thereof has a larger diameter than the cord. Therefore, even when the cord is wound around the winding unit 1, when the cord is pulled from one end and slid through the cord insertion hole 3A while holding the main body of the cord winding holder 5, the cord is wound around the winding holder. It can also be assumed that it is shifted in the length direction. In this way, it is possible to adjust the relative position of the main body of the cord winding holder 5 with respect to the length direction of the cord.

  It is also possible to continuously finely adjust the lead-out length of the cord with respect to the cord take-up holder by pulling out or pushing in the cord through one cord insertion hole 3A.

  An appropriate number of the cord locking portions 3 can be formed on the flange portion 11, and can be formed at, for example, the four corners of the flange portion 11. The cord locking portion 3 does not have to be formed with the cord introduction portion 3B facing the diagonal position of the flange portion as in the illustrated embodiment. For example, the long side of the substantially rectangular shape when the flange portion 11 is viewed from the front. Alternatively, it may be formed perpendicularly or obliquely from the short side.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the clip portion 5 is configured by having an arm portion 4 that is folded back in a U shape from one end 2 </ b> A of one flange portion 12 and extends in parallel with the flange portion 12. . The arm part 4 has elasticity. With this configuration, it is possible to sandwich a clip target, for example, an edge of a jacket pocket, between the arm portion 4 and one flange portion 12. At the tip of the extended arm portion 4, a protrusion 4 </ b> A is provided for preventing falling from a clip target when used as a clip. Similarly, one flange 12 has a protrusion 2B that meets the protrusion 4A, and these two protrusions are used as a clip by alternately pressing the clip target from both sides. It is possible to prevent falling from the clip target. Thus, by having the clip part 5, the cord winding holder 6 can be attached to a breast pocket or the like, and cords such as headphones can be prevented from moving in a delusion. The cord winding holder 6 can also adjust the relative position in the cord length direction to a preferred position while using headphones or earphones.
