Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a wire bundle material used for bundling signal and power supply wires in electronic equipment.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in electronic devices such as communication devices and so-called OA devices, signal wires and power wires for external or internal delivery are often arranged independently. On the other hand, in recent years, there has been remarkable progress in the integration of these types of devices into integrated/intelligent/integrated devices, and the number of compatible wires for transfer between devices or internal devices is also increasing. (Wires are sometimes called cables). Conventionally, this congested electric wire is bundled with a wire bundle material. As the east wire material, for example, a vinyl-coated wire (vinytie) and a locking material made of an organic material such as polyethylene and having a structure that can be easily bundled are known.

By bundling the wires together at appropriate intervals with these wire bundles, it is possible to prevent the wires from scattering and improve the aesthetic appearance.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a vinyl tie 3 and a locking material 4 used to bundle the electric wires 2. Reference numeral 1 indicates an electronic device.

Since both such vinyl ties and locking materials can only bind wires discretely, the wires tend to be scattered, cannot protect the wires, and have an untidy appearance.

It is also well known to install and process cable ducts in order to compensate for the above-mentioned drawbacks. However, due to its structure, cable ducts are only used for stationary or large equipment, and are not used for portable or small equipment. In this cable duct system, the devices are connected by a duct and various power and signal wires are stored inside the duct in order to store the delivery cables between the devices.

Because of this type of system, considerable damage is required when moving or maintaining the equipment, and furthermore, when connecting the lines inside the equipment, the exclusive space thereof greatly limits the ability to communicate. Therefore, the couple duct method is not generally used.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a conventional flexible heat shrinkable tube used to bundle electric wires 2. As shown in FIG. This flexible heat-shrinkable tube 7 is a bundled wire material that can compensate for all of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is made of silicone rubber, Teflon, or the like. However, this tube cannot be used for wires that have already been constructed and have both ends connected to equipment or door connectors. That is, the conventional flexible heat-shrinkable tube has the disadvantage that it cannot be used for any construction work other than that planned at the time of manufacture.

(Object of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide an east wire material that can cover electric wires continuously, occupies a small space, and can also bundle electric wires connected to equipment.

(Structure of the Invention) The structure of the wire bundle according to the present invention includes a flexible sheet-like resin, a first protrusion protruding from a first plane of the resin, and a second protrusion of the resin. The first protrusion is formed in a straight line along the first plane, and the first protrusion is formed in a straight line along the first plane, and the second protrusion is formed in a straight line along the first plane. and a third protrusion is formed linearly along the second plane, and the third protrusion is formed in a straight line along the second plane, and
The longitudinal axes of the protrusions are parallel to each other, the first protrusion has a constricted base in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the gap has a constricted tip in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. None, the gap has a size that allows the first protrusion to be press-fitted therein.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples.

FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a partially omitted front view showing the process of forming an east line tube using this embodiment. This embodiment includes a sheet 10 made of heat-shrinkable resin with excellent flexibility, a protrusion 11 protruding from the lower plane of this sheet 1O, and a protrusion protruding from the upper plane of this sheet 10. 15 and 16. The protrusion 11 has a constriction 12 at its base. Protrusion 15
and 16 are opposed to each other with a small gap 17 in between.

The shape of the gap 17 in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of these projections 15, 16 is convex. That is, there is a constriction 18 at the tip of the space @17.

The gap 17 is large enough to allow the projection 11 to be press-fitted therein.

Therefore, the sheet 10 is rolled up into a cylindrical shape, and the protrusions 11 are inserted into the gap 1.
7, the protrusion 11 fits into the protrusion 15.16,
East line tube is formed. Interval 1! 117 is seat lO
Since multiple tubes are formed at regular intervals on one side of the tube, east line tubes can be made in various thicknesses.

The distance between the gaps 17 is 20 mmK in this embodiment, but any value can be selected. The connecting shape consisting of the protrusions 11, 15, and 16 is the same as that of a so-called crimp-type nylon fastener, and can sufficiently obtain the binding force necessary for the east line.

If this embodiment is used, a wire bundle of any thickness can be bundled using only one type. Protrusion 11 determined according to the thickness of the wire bundle
The portion of the sheet 10 outside the gap 17 that fits into the gap 17 is cut off with scissors. This embodiment is initially in the form of a plate, and is used by forming it into a tube when easting. Therefore, if this embodiment is used, electric wires that are already connected to equipment or connectors can be easily connected to the east. This embodiment continuously coats the wire in the form of a tube. Therefore, if this embodiment is used, the scattering of the wires can occur, but the wires can be sufficiently secured and the appearance will be neat. It is not necessary at all. Therefore, this embodiment can be easily used for portable and small-sized equipment.

Unfortunately, the sheet 10 in this embodiment is made of heat-shrinkable resin. Therefore, by heating the wire with hot air after coating it,
It is possible to form a bundle of wires with tightly compressed wires. In addition, in this embodiment, since the protrusion 11 is formed only at one location on the edge of the sheet 10, even after the present embodiment is finished as an east line chive, it remains as beautiful as a conventional heat shrinkable chive. In this way, this embodiment can be uniformly used for all electronic devices under all circumstances, so 18□WIJ
From t17 onwards, the style of the electric wire system can be standardized by adding □178 pieces. Therefore, this embodiment facilitates the design, manufacture, and maintenance of electronic equipment systems, and enables a uniform appearance. Furthermore, this embodiment can be manufactured at low cost using inexpensive materials. Furthermore, by using this embodiment, the east line can be easily and quickly made, so this embodiment can also be easily used for household equipment.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a wire bundle material that can cover electric wires continuously, occupies a small space, and can also bundle electric wires connected to equipment.
