Description

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0072821 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on June 7, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to a cable holder, and more particularly to a cable holder capable of allowing computer peripheral devices such as a mouse, a keyboard, etc. to move freely while minimizing the inconvenience caused by cables of the computer peripheral devices. Background Art

[0004] As one of the computer peripherals, the mouse and keyboard are usually used to control the cursor movement on the display screen. The mouse can be divided into a wired mouse with a cable and a wireless mouse without a cable.

[0005] A wired mouse is connected to the computer body via a cable. In this case, the cable is arranged at the front of the mouse, thereby connecting to the computer body, and two or three buttons are located at the top of the front of the mouse. In addition, a ball or a sensor for sensing light is located on the underside of the mouse.

[0006] Specifically, the length of the cable of a wired mouse is 1-1.2m, and it can be deformed freely, so that it hangs loosely when the mouse is connected to the computer body. In addition, if the mouse and the computer body are set on a desk or a workbench, the cable may come into contact with the desk or the workbench or move according to the movement of the mouse, instead of being fixed in a certain position. If the mouse is used for a long time in this state, it may cause damage to the user's wrist. Specifically, if a higher mouse sensitivity is required for e-sports, online games, graphic work, etc., the mouse may not be able to move gently as the user intends or work incorrectly due to the obstruction of the cable, thereby unexpectedly causing unsatisfactory work results. Summary of the invention

[0007] Therefore, the present invention is proposed in view of the above problems in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cable holder that can minimize the contact of a cable of a computer peripheral device, especially the contact of a mouse with another object.

[0031] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a cable holder according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a cable fixture according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 1 is an exemplary diagram showing a state in which the cable holder according to the first embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a display.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable holder 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include a base 101, a connector 102, a main body 103 and an assembly portion 104, and the cable holder 100 can be attached to a computer body or a display 10 so that it can be coupled to a cable 20 of a computer peripheral device such as a mouse, a keyboard, etc. that is connected to the computer body and is therefore located on a desk or a workbench.

[0033] Furthermore, the cable holder 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can be coupled to the cable 20 of a mouse that requires a relatively large amount of movement as needed, and thus, the cable holder 100 can be used to allow the cable 20 to be spaced apart from the top of a desk or workbench where the display 10 is located.

[0034] The base 101 may be in the shape of a flat plate with a flat top, and may be attached to the computer body or the display 10 in a manner spaced apart from the top of a desk or workbench. According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the top of the base 101 may be positioned to contact the display 10, particularly the underside of the display 10.

[0035] In addition, the base 101 may include a base body 111 , a base auxiliary body 113 , and a base cover 115 .

[0036] The base body 111 may be cylindrical and may include a connection space portion 110 , a connection opening 111 ′, and a cover space portion 111 ″.

[0037] The connection space part 110 may have a cylindrical shape corresponding to the base body 111 , and may be concavely formed on the top of the base body 111 .

[0038] The connection opening 111 ′ may be circular and formed on the lower side of the base body 111 to open the lower side of the base body 111. In this case, the inner diameter of the connection opening 111 ′ may be smaller than the inner diameter of the connection space part 110.

[0039] The cover space portion 111 ″ may have a disc shape and may be formed on the top of the connection space portion 110 of the base body 111 . In this case, the inner diameter of the cover space portion 111 ″ may be greater than the inner diameter of the connection space portion 110 .

[0040] The base auxiliary bodies 113 may be provided in pairs and may have a rod-like shape. In addition, a pair of base auxiliary bodies 113 may extend from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the base main body 111 so that they may be located on the same straight line. That is, the base auxiliary bodies 113 may be positioned symmetrically relative to the base main body 111. In this case, the top of the base main body 111 and the top of the base auxiliary bodies 113 may be located on the same plane.

[0041] In addition, the base auxiliary body 113 may have an auxiliary space portion 113a concavely formed on its top. The auxiliary space portion 113' may have a plate shape corresponding to the base auxiliary body 113, thereby being connected to the cover space portion 111". In addition, the lower side of the auxiliary space portion 113' may be positioned higher than the lower side of the cover space portion 111".

[0042] The base cover 115 may have a disc shape and may be located on the base body 111 to block the connection space portion 110. In this case, the base cover 115 may be inserted into the cover space portion 111″ so as to be located at the bottom of the cover space portion 111″. In addition, the top of the base cover 115 may be located lower than the top of the base body 111 while being placed on the same plane as the lower side of the auxiliary space portion 113′.

[0043] In addition, a fixed space portion 101' formed by combining a cover space portion 111" and an auxiliary space portion 113' may be formed on the top of the base 101, and a lower side of the fixed space portion 101' may be defined by lower sides of the base cover 115 and the auxiliary space portion 113'.

[0044] The connector 102 may be rotatably connected to the lower side of the base 101 opposite to the top of the base 101. Specifically, the connector 102 may be located on the lower side of the base body 111 of the base 101 and may rotate around the base body 111. In addition, the connector 102 may include a rotation guide body 121 and a connection body 123.

[0045] The rotating guide body 121 may be in the shape of a ball bearing having a hollow portion 121' and may be accommodated in the connection space portion 110. In this case, the rotating guide body 121 may be located on the bottom of the connection space portion 110, and the hollow portion 121' may be located to correspond to the connection opening 111'.

[0046] When the base cover 115 is located on the cover space portion 111 ″ to block the connection space portion 110 , the rotation guide body 121 may be received in the connection space portion 110 to be located below the base cover 115 .

[0047] In addition, the rotating guide body 121 having a ball bearing shape may include an outer ring, an inner ring, and balls. In this case, the inner ring and the outer ring of the rotating guide body 121 may have the same shape and inner diameters different from each other. The inner ring of the rotating guide body 121 may be located at the same center as the outer ring inside the outer ring of the rotating guide body 121 and have a hollow portion 121' formed therein. In addition, the balls of the rotating guide body 121 may be located between the inner ring and the outer ring and thus contact them.

[0048] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, when the rotating guide body 121 is accommodated in the connecting space portion 110, the outer ring of the rotating guide body 121 can be fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the connecting space portion 110, and the inner ring of the rotating guide body 121 can rotate in the connecting space portion 110.

[0049] The connection body 123 may have a cylindrical shape corresponding to the base body 111, and may be connected to the rotation guide body 121 and thus be located at the lower side of the base body 111. In this case, the connection body 123 may be combined with the rotation guide body 121 and thus rotate around the base body 111. Specifically, the body 103 may be detachably coupled to the connection body 123 as will be discussed later.

[0050] In addition, the connection body 123 may include a coupling space portion 123 ′, a coupling opening 123 ″, and a connection guide 123 a.

[0051] The coupling space portion 123' may be formed to pass through a lower end portion of the outer circumferential surface of the connection body 123. In this case, the cable 20 may pass through the coupling space portion 123'.

[0052] The coupling opening 123" may be formed on the lower side of the connecting body 123 along a diameter corresponding to the coupling space portion 123' of the lower side of the connecting body 123, and thus connected to the coupling space portion 123'. Specifically, the coupling opening 123" may be connected to both ends of the coupling space portion 123'. In addition, the cable 20 may pass through the coupling space portion 123' along the coupling opening 123", and when the cable 20 passes through the coupling opening 123", it may not contact the connecting body 123.

[0053] The connection guides 123a may be provided in pairs and may protrude from the top of the connection body 123. In this case, the connection guides 123a may be symmetrically spaced apart from each other and have a plate shape having a curvature corresponding to the hollow portion 121' of the rotation guide 121.

[0054] In addition, in a state where the rotating guide body 121 is accommodated in the connecting space portion 110 of the base body 111, the connecting guide body 123a can pass through the connecting opening 111' and can be inserted into the hollow portion 121' of the rotating guide body 121, and thus coupled to the rotating guide body 121. When the connecting guide body 123a is coupled to the rotating guide body 121, the top of the connecting body 121 can contact the lower side of the base body 111. In addition, the connecting body 123 can rotate along the clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the connecting guide body 123a together with the connecting guide body 123a. In this case, the inner ring of the rotating guide body 121 can also rotate.

[0055] The main body 103 can be inserted into the connector 102 and detachably coupled to the connector 102. Specifically, the main body 103 can be inserted into the coupling space portion 123' and the coupling opening 123" of the connecting body 123 of the connector 102, and coupled to the connecting body 123. In addition, the cable 20 can be inserted into the main body 103 and thus pass through the main body 103. In a state where the cable 20 passes through the main body 103, the main body 103 can be inserted into the coupling space portion 123' so that it can be detachably coupled to the connector 102. According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the main body 103 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber, silicone, etc.

[0056] In addition, the body 103 may include a mounting body 131 , a coupling guide body 133 , and a coupling auxiliary body 135 .

[0057] The mounting body 131 may have a tube shape passing through the coupling space portion 123'. The first end portion of the mounting body 131 may be inserted into the coupling space portion 123'. In this case, the mounting body 131 may be located along the direction of the coupling space portion 123'. In addition, the mounting body 131 may include a mounting space portion 131' and a mounting opening 131".

[0058] The installation space portion 131' may be formed on the installation body 131 in a longitudinal direction thereof to pass through both ends of the installation body 131. The cable 20 may pass through the installation space portion 131' to contact the inner circumferential surface of the installation space portion 131'.

[0059] The mounting opening 131" may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mounting body 131 along the mounting space portion 131' and thus connected to the mounting space portion 131'. Specifically, the mounting opening 131" may be connected to both ends of the mounting space portion 131'. The cable 20 may enter the mounting opening 131", and then pass through the mounting space portion 131'.

[0060] The coupling guide 133 may protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the first end of the mounting body 131 so as to be located at the opposite side of the mounting opening 131 ″. In this case, the coupling guide 133 may be located on the mounting body 131 along the longitudinal direction of the mounting body 131 .

[0061] When the first end of the mounting body 131 is inserted into the coupling space portion 123', the coupling guide body 133 can be fixedly inserted into the coupling opening 123". In this case, both sides of the coupling guide body 133 can contact the inner side of the coupling opening 123", and a portion of the mounting opening 131" can face the inner circumferential surface of the coupling space portion 123' and thus be closed. In addition, the width of the coupling guide body 133 can be greater than the width of the coupling opening 123", so that the coupling guide body 133 can be compressed and inserted into the coupling opening 123". As a result, the mounting body 131 cannot rotate when inserted into the coupling space portion 123'.

[0062] The coupling auxiliary body 135 may protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the mounting body 131 in the circumferential direction of the mounting body 131 to connect both sides of the coupling guide body 133. In this case, the coupling guide body 133 may protrude outward from the outer circumferential surface of the mounting body 131 more than the connection auxiliary body 135.

[0063] When the first end of the mounting body 131 is inserted into the coupling space portion 123', the coupling auxiliary body 135 may contact the inner circumferential surface of the coupling space portion 123'. As a result, the first end of the mounting body 131 can remain stably inserted into the coupling space portion 123', and the coupling guide body 133 can remain stably inserted into the coupling opening 123".

[0064] When the first end of the mounting body 131 is inserted into the coupling space 123', the coupling auxiliary bodies 135 can be positioned spaced apart from each other in the coupling space 123' to close the end surface of the coupling space 123' while being located on the same surface as the outer peripheral surface of the connecting body 123.

[0065] In addition, the coupling protrusion 123b may protrude from the inner circumferential surface of the coupling space portion 123'. In this case, the coupling protrusion 123b may be located between the two ends of the coupling space portion 123'. When a pair of coupling auxiliary bodies 135 spaced apart from each other are located in the coupling space portion 123', the coupling protrusion 123b may be located between the pair of coupling auxiliary bodies 135 and contact the pair of coupling auxiliary bodies 135. As a result, the first end portion of the mounting body 131 can be stably positioned in a state of being inserted into the coupling space portion 123'.

[0066] The mounting portion 104 may be in a sheet shape, have adhesiveness, and be fixedly located on the top of the base 101. When the mounting portion 104 is located on the lower side of the display 10, it may be attached to the lower side of the display 10 due to its adhesive force. In this case, the base 101 may be fixed to the lower side of the display 10 by the mounting portion 104, and the main body 103 may be located under the display 10 in a state of being coupled to the connector 102. As a result, the cable 20 may pass through the main body 103, be located under the display 10, and thus be spaced apart from the desk or table on which the display 10 is placed.

[0067] Furthermore, the fitting portion 104 may be inserted into the fixed space portion 101 ′ formed by combining the cover space portion 111 ″ and the auxiliary space portion 113 ′, and thus fixedly located above the tops of the base cover 115 and the auxiliary space portion 113 ′.

[0068] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the cable holder 100 can allow the cable 20 to be spaced apart from the desk or table on which the display 10 is placed. In this case, the cable 20 may not come into contact with any object such as a desk or table through the cable holder 100, thereby minimizing contact with another object. As a result, the cable holder 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can prevent the cable 20 from rubbing against another object such as a desk or table when a computer peripheral device connected to the cable 20, especially a mouse, moves.

[0069] Furthermore, in a state where the cable holder 100 is mounted on the lower side of the display 10, the cable 20 can pass through the body 103 and move along the body 103. Furthermore, the connector 102 provided on the lower side of the base 101 can be rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the base 101, and the cable 20 can pass through the body 103 coupled to the connector 102 and rotate to the left and right around the base 101 along the body 103. When the mouse moves, in this case, the tension applied to the cable 20 can be reduced, and further the force applied to the base 101 can be reduced. As a result, the cable holder 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can be kept stably mounted on the lower side of the display 10, and the range of motion of the mouse can be extended to allow the mouse to move gently.

[0070] Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a cable fixture according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5A and Figure 5B 2 is a side view showing the operation of the guide portion of the cable holder according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] like Figures 4 to 5B As shown, the cable holder 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention may further include a guide portion 105 .

[0072] The guide portion 105 may extend from the outer circumferential surface of the upper end portion of the connecting body 123 of the connector 102, and thus may be located in parallel with the main body 103. In a state where the cable 20 passes through the main body 103 and the main body 103 is detachably coupled to the connector 102, the guide portion 105 may be positioned along the circumferential direction of the cable 20 and the main body 103 to support the cable 20 and the main body 103. In addition, the guide portion 105 may include a guide base 151, a guide wire 153, and a support guide 155.

[0073] The guide base 151 may be strip-shaped and may extend from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting body 123 above the coupling space portion 123' in the same direction as the coupling opening 123". The first end surface of the guide base 151 may be fixedly contacted with the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the connecting body 123. In a state where the first end portion of the mounting body 131 of the main body 103 is inserted into the coupling space portion 123', the second end portion of the mounting body 131 opposite to the first end portion of the mounting body 131 may be located below the guide base 151. That is, the length of the guide base 151 may be longer than the length of the mounting body 131 protruding from the coupling space portion 123'.

[0074] The guide wire 153 may have a given length, and a portion of the guide wire 153 may be located on the guide base 151. In addition, the first end of the guide wire 153 may be located at the lower side of the guide base 151 to move along the circumferential direction of the middle part of the mounting body 131, and the second end of the guide wire 153 opposite to the first end of the guide wire 153 may move along the inside of the guide base 151 and may protrude from the second end surface of the guide base 151. In this case, the first end of the guide wire 153 may be fixed to the lower side of the first end of the guide base 151, and the second end of the guide wire 153 opposite to the first end of the guide wire 153 may be located below the second end surface of the guide base 151.

[0075] In addition, the guide base 151 may have a pair of guide rollers 150 a located inside thereof, and the guide rollers 150 a may be spaced apart from each other to support the guide wire 153 located inside the guide base 151 while being rotated by the movement of the guide wire 153 .

[0076] The support guide 155 may have a round belt shape and be made of an elastic material such as rubber, silicone, etc. The second end of the guide wire 153 may be fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the support guide 155. In this case, the support guide 155 may be located below the second end surface of the guide base 151.

[0077] With the above configuration, the guide portion 105 may work as follows.

[0078] In a state where the base 101 is attached to the lower side of the display 10, the first end portion of the mounting body 131 of the main body 103 may be inserted into the coupling space portion 123' (see Figure 5A ), and the first end of the guide wire 153 can be positioned along the circumferential direction of the mounting body 131 while being spaced apart from the outer circumferential surface of the mounting body 131. In addition, the support guide 155 can face the second end surface of the mounting body 131 while being spaced apart therefrom.

[0079] In addition, in a state where the base 101 is attached to the lower side of the display 10, the cable 20 may pass through the support guide 155 and the mounting body 131 through the mounting space 131', and the first end portion of the mounting body 131 may be inserted into the coupling space portion 123' (see Figure 5B ). In this case, the cable 20 protruding from the second end surface of the mounting body 131 may droop. At this time, the support guide 155 may move downward with the help of the cable 20 to pull the second end of the guide wire 153 downward, so that the second end of the guide wire 153 may protrude a longer distance from the second end surface of the guide base 151. In addition, the first end of the guide wire 153 may be further inserted into the guide base 151 with the help of the second end of the guide wire 153, and may be moved close to the outer circumferential surface of the mounting body 131. In a state where the first end of the guide wire 153 is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the mounting body 131, the guide wire 153 may be positioned along the circumferential direction of the mounting body 131. As a result, the guide portion 105 may support the mounting body 131 to prevent the mounting body 131 from moving downward due to the drooping of the cable 20. According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the cable holder 100 may have a guide portion 105 for preventing the mounting body 131 from being damaged due to a load of the cable 20 on a coupling portion between the mounting body 131 of the body 103 and the connecting body 123 of the connector 102, or preventing the mounting body 131 from being separated from the connecting body 123. As described above, the cable holder according to the present invention has the following advantages.

[0080] First, the cable holder minimizes the contact of the mouse cable with other objects.

[0081] Secondly, the cable holder can reduce the tension applied to the cable when the mouse is moved, so that the cable can remain stably installed in its place.

[0082] Finally, the cable holder allows the mouse to move freely within an extended range of motion.

[0083] Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular illustrative embodiments, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments but only by the appended claims. It should be understood that those skilled in the art may change or modify the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
