Benefits of technology

This patent is for a device that allows earphones to be wound up on a reel. The device has certain features that make it easier to wind and unwind the earphones. The technical effect of this device is to provide a more convenient and easy-to-use way to carry and use earphones.

Problems solved by technology

This lack of care results in a short life of the earphones, since forced and prolonged bending can damage the internal cord, making the earphones unusable.
The ones that are simply pressed closed no longer stay properly closed after repeated use and start coming open, especially if the cord is not wound with particular care; analogously, in the ones that are closed by means of a thread, the cover risks coming unscrewed if not screwed properly or even if the device is carelessly put away in the bag or backpack.
In both cases, given the presence of the cover, there is no fastening element that secures the free end of the cord; thus an accidental opening of the cover will also provoke a consequent and inevitable unwinding of the cord.
Finally, the known devices are often made with materials subject to easy accidental breaks if kept, for example, in a trouser pocket or carelessly put away in the bag or backpack.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]With reference to the appended figures, 1 indicates overall a cord reel container, in particular for earphones, in accordance with the present invention.

[0023]The cord reel container 1 is a device comprising a main body 2, around which a cord, for example of an earphone, can be wound, and a closure cover 3 couplable with the main body 2.

[0024]The container 1 further comprises at least one pair of reciprocally repulsive magnets 14a, 14b, of which a first magnet 14a is associated with the main body 2 and a second magnet 14b is associated with the cover 3. In particular, the pair of repulsive magnets 14a and 14b reciprocally interact by repulsion so as to facilitate opening the container 1, as will he explained below.

[0025]These magnets 14a, 14b thus have the same polarity.

[0026]The cover 3 has a central peg 5 extending away from the concave part towards the inside, i.e. toward the main body 2, along an axis X of symmetry of the cover 3; the peg 5 is insertable inside a seat 6 fo...

Abstract

A cord reel container includes a main body (2) around which a cord can be wound and a closure cover (3) couplable with the main body (2). The container (1) further includes at least one pair of repulsive. magnets (14a, 14b), reciprocally interacting by repulsion so as to enable the container to be opened, and at least one pair of attractive magnets (4a, 4b), interacting with each other by attraction so as to enable the container to be closed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a cord reel container.DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART[0002]There are numerous known cord winding devices, around which it is possible to wind electrical connection cords and cables.[0003]The present invention has application in particular as a cord winder for earphones, in particular for earphones for mobile phones, tablets, PCs or audio / video reproduction devices in general.[0004]It is common practice to wind, in a disorderly fashion, the cord of the earphones directly around the electronic device, or fold it into an eight or else knot it around itself in some way and put it away in one's bag without being particularly careful. This lack of care results in a short life of the earphones, since forced and prolonged bending can damage the internal cord, making the earphones unusable.[0005]In this regard, for several years now cord reel devices have been available on the market; around them it is possible to wind or store one's ea...
