Description

  The present invention relates to a cord holder that stores a cord of an earphone or the like used in a portable audio device, and more particularly to a cord holder that can store an earphone cord in a compact manner and can display characters and the like when being carried.

  Conventionally, an earphone or the like used for a portable audio device usually has a long cord, and therefore is directly put in a pocket or bag, or wound around a storage device and carried. However, various kinds of tools for storing the cord have been proposed for the reason that the cord is frequently taken out and stored when the earphone is used or that the appearance is not good when carried.

As an example, a storage case for a pocket type device is known (see Patent Document 1). In this storage case, cosmetic leather is attached to the front or back of the case main body with a support member at an interval, and an earphone cord is wound around the support member and stored between the case main body and the cosmetic leather.
Therefore, pocket-type devices can be stored in a storage case when carrying, and can be organized without entanglement because they are stored around the storage part on the front or back of the storage case when the earphone is not in use. is there.

In addition, a cord and an earphone locking tool for faster storage have been proposed (see Patent Document 2).
When the cord is wrapped around the device and approaches the earphone side, the earphone locking tool is inserted and stored in the cord insertion and locking cut-in portion and the cord insertion locking hole through the insertion guide portion.
As a result, there is no entanglement between the cord and the earphone, it is not bulky even when it is attached to the pocket type device, and it can be quickly stored and reused.

  However, since the storage case of the pocket type device stores the pocket type device in the case main body, the shape of the case main body is limited to the storage device, and there is a disadvantage that devices of different sizes cannot be stored. In addition, the case body is intended for device storage and does not take into account the function as an accessory, so that it has poor decoration as a portable device.

  In addition, since the cord and the earphone locker wrap the cord directly around the device, the cord may be displaced or disengaged when being carried, and there is a problem that the appearance is deteriorated. There is also a drawback that the appearance of the device around which the cord is wound is impaired.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention can fold a holder body integrally formed of a flexible synthetic resin material at a substantially central position so that one side can be folded around a cord, and the other side can be displayed as a character. And at least inside the cord winding portion, a plate-shaped core body that is smaller in size and harder than the cord winding portion is housed, and both side edges of the cord winding portion are flattened while maintaining flexibility. The character display unit displays a character including a mascot or the like.

In addition to the configuration described in claim 1, a locking groove for locking the cord by forming a plurality of cuts may be provided on both side edges of the cord winding portion.
This is because, with such a configuration, when the cord is wound around the cord winding portion, the cord is locked in the plurality of locking grooves, and the cord is steadily held without being displaced or detached.

Moreover, in addition to the structure of Claim 1 or Claim 2, you may form the external shape of the said character display part imitating the shape of the said character or a mascot.
This is because, with such a configuration, the character display unit is shaped like a character or a mascot and has an accessory function, so that it is possible to provide a cord holder with improved decoration as a portable device.

Moreover, in addition to the structure in any one of Claims 1-3, when the said character display part winds the said code around the said code | cord | winding part, the said holder main body is folded, and both pieces are piled up, You may form in the magnitude | size which covers the substantially whole cord wound.
With such a configuration, when the character display unit is carried toward the front of the body or belongings, almost the entire cord of the cord wrapping unit is hidden by the character display unit, and the code becomes invisible and the appearance is improved. Because.

  According to the present invention, since the hard plate-like core body is housed in the cord winding portion on one side of the holder body that is foldable, both side edges are formed flat so as to maintain flexibility. When the cord is wound around the cord, the cord will bite into both side edges having flexibility, the cord is held without being displaced or detached, and the appearance when carried is improved. In addition, since a character including a mascot or the like is displayed on the character display portion on the other side, the code holder has an accessory function, and the decorativeness as a portable device can be enhanced.

  In addition, since a plurality of slits are formed on both side edges of the cord winding portion to lock the cord, when the cord is wound around the cord winding portion, the plurality of locking grooves Thus, there is an advantage that the cord is securely held without being displaced or detached even when the cord holder is rocked violently.

  Further, since the outer shape of the character display unit is formed to resemble the shape of the character or mascot, the character display unit is modeled by a character or mascot and has an accessory function, and the decorativeness as a portable device is enhanced. Cord holders can be provided.

  In addition, when the character display unit carries the code holder around the cord wrapping unit, folds the holder body and overlaps both pieces, and the character display unit is directed to the front of the body or belongings Since almost the entire cord of the cord winding portion is hidden by the character display portion and the wound cord cannot be seen, the appearance of the cord holder is improved, and the decorativeness and accessory functions are improved.
