Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a cord reel for the purpose of security and organization of cords of electric appliances.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, there was no cord reel with a mechanism that could easily and safely wind up and store the surplus part of the cord used in electric appliances in the middle of the cord while inserting both ends of the cord into the electric appliance and the outlet.

Conventional cord reels include a self-winding type by a spring mechanism incorporated in an instrument body, a drum type by a handle operation, etc., but both of them have a high-grade mechanism and the range of purpose of use is limited. There is a strong tendency that it is not versatile.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 At present, the length of the cord attached to ordinary electric appliances is set arbitrarily by the appliance manufacturer. Especially, since the plug and socket are integrally molded with the end of the cord, the distance between the wall outlet and the installation location of the appliance is set. It is difficult to adjust the length of the cord even when the cords are close to each other, and the cord becomes redundant.

In the case of self-wiring without an attached cord, it is apt to perform wiring longer than necessary in consideration of relocation in the future.

[0006] These surplus parts are usually tied with a taper or the like, or they are stumbled because they are just scratched, the outlet is unplugged, and the cord is damaged if the binding is too long. There was a problem such as occurrence of.

[0007] In general households, there is a tendency to wire from a single outlet to a plurality of electric appliances, and since the type of cord load cannot be discriminated on the side of the outlet, mistakes in plugging and unplugging are likely to occur.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cord reel capable of simply and safely winding a surplus cord at an arbitrary position for an arbitrary length with both ends of the cord being connected to an electric appliance and an outlet. It is a thing.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the cord reel of the present invention allows excess cord generated in the cord connected between the electric appliance and the outlet to be optionally inserted through the notched insertion hole provided on the side surface of the flame-retardant plastic body. Insert one of them at the position of the part, wrap the mandrel vertically installed in the center of the body for an arbitrary length, pass the other side through the other insertion hole with the notch, and fit the lid on one side of the body. It is something that is stored and organized.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

For example, FIGS. 1 and 2 are views showing a bowl-shaped embodiment of the present invention.

First, the lid 7 is removed, the cord 2 side is inserted from the notch 6 of the main body 1, and the cord fitting hole 5 is passed through.

Next, the excess portion of the cord that has passed through the fitting hole 5 is wound around the mandrel 4 while being pressed against the inner surface of the main body 1.

When the excess portion of the cord has been wound around the mandrel 4, the other side 3 of the cord is passed through the cord insertion hole 5 using the nearest notch 6.

Finally, the lid 7 is fitted on one side of the main body 1.

Further, for example, FIGS. 3 and 4 are views in which the present invention is made into a box shape and arranged in parallel, and the handling method is the same as the bowl shape described above.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The structure is simple and can be manufactured at low cost, and since there is no mechanical operation part, there is no fear of failure and it can be handled without requiring technical expertise.

Since the wiring can be safely arranged by winding the excess portion of the cord inside the cord reel by a required length, the problems caused by the excess cord described above are solved by the following.

Even if a cord with an extra length is attached to the device in advance, it is possible to wrap up the cord with an arbitrary length at any part of the cord, so that it is easy to organize the excess cord.

It is possible to store a spare length of cord in consideration of future equipment relocation.

Since the cord is wound manually by hand, no extension force is applied to the cord unlike mechanical winding, so that the cord material does not change even when stored for a long time in the wound state.

Since the use of the cord can be easily discriminated by using a label or the like, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a wrong plug insertion.

When relocating the electric appliance, the cord stored in the cord reel can be pulled out or rolled up for a required length, and the cord length can be easily adjusted to tidy up the excess portion of the cord. .

When used as a storage container for unnecessary cords, the cords are separated according to the labels and the like, and can be taken out and used as needed.

Even if it is necessary to consider a slight temperature rise due to the resistance value due to the current of the cord, since the winding work is manual, the winding density is coarse. Therefore, it is solved by providing a heat release hole in the main body and the lid. It
