[0010] (Embodiment) The cable dropout prevention band 1 of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. The configuration of the embodiment described below, as well as the actions and results (effects) brought about by this configuration, are merely examples and are not limited to the following description.

[0011] Furthermore, multiple embodiments disclosed below include similar components. Therefore, in the following, the similar components are given common reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions will be omitted. Note that in this specification, ordinal numbers are used only to distinguish between parts and components, and do not indicate order or priority.

[0012] First Embodiment The cable fall prevention band 1 is a band that can bundle cables of peripheral devices such as power connectors and prevent the connected cables from falling off. The cable fall prevention band 1 is formed, for example, by punching a hook-and-loop fastener. Therefore, the cable fall prevention band 1 is formed from a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0013] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of use of a cable slip-off prevention band 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the cable dropout prevention band 1 restrains a cable 31 of a power connector 3 of an electronic device 2. 。

[0014] The electronic device 2 is, for example, an electronic device such as a switching hub. . electric For example, attach the child device 2 with double-sided tape. attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) 4 is installed. The power connector 3 is a component that can be connected to the electronic device 2. The power connector 3 is an example of a connector.

[0015] attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) 4 can be engaged with the hook-type engaging element 1c or the loop-type engaging element 1d provided on the joint 11. attachment( hook-and-loop fastener )4 is attached to the electronic device 2 and is located on the longitudinal extension of the cable dropout prevention band 1. attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) The attachment position of 4 may be changed as appropriate as long as it is within the reach of the joint 11 of the cable drop-off prevention band 1 that restrains the cable 31. The hook-and-loop fastener 4 is an example of an attachment.

[0016] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the cable slip-off prevention band 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment, seen from a direction different from that of Fig. 2. In other words, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cable disengagement prevention band 1, seen from the back side.

[0017] Figure 2, figure As shown in FIG. 3, the cable slip-off prevention band 1 has a front surface 1a and a back surface 1b. The front surface 1a is a surface that extends in a direction that intersects with the thickness direction of the cable slip-off prevention band 1. The back surface 1b is a surface that is located on the opposite side of the front surface 1a in the thickness direction. The front surface 1a is an example of a first surface, and the back surface 1b is an example of a second surface.

[0018] As shown in Fig. 2, the surface 1a has a plurality of hook-type engaging elements 1c. The hook-type engaging elements 1c are hook-shaped engaging elements that protrude from the surface 1a. The hook-type engaging elements 1c are an example of hook-shaped protrusions.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 3, the back surface 1b has a plurality of loop-type engaging elements 1d. The loop-type engaging elements 1d are loop-shaped engaging elements that protrude from the back surface 1b. Therefore, the hook-type engaging elements 1c are hooked onto the loop-type engaging elements 1d, allowing them to engage with each other. In other words, the front surface 1a and the back surface 1b of the cable slippage prevention band 1 are capable of engaging with each other.

[0020] In this embodiment, the front surface 1a has the hook-type engaging element 1c and the back surface 1b has the loop-type engaging element 1d, but this is not limiting. For example, the front surface 1a may have the loop-type engaging element 1d and the back surface 1b may have the hook-type engaging element 1c.

[0021] Furthermore, the shapes of the hook-type engaging element 1c and the loop-type engaging element 1d are not limited to hook and loop shapes, and may be any shapes that allow mutual engagement between the front surface 1a and the back surface 1b of the cable slippage prevention band 1. For example, the engaging element on the front surface 1a may be hook-shaped, and fibers such as cotton may be attached to the back surface 1b.

[0022] 2, the cable fall-off prevention band 1 includes a joint portion 11, a tightening portion 12, and an attachment portion 13. Furthermore, the cable fall-off prevention band 1 is provided with a gap 14. The joint portion 11, the tightening portion 12, and the attachment portion 13 are each formed integrally.

[0023] The joint portion 11 is a portion that extends in one direction. The length of the joint portion 11 in this embodiment is the longest of the tightening portion 12 and the attachment portion 13 in the cable disengagement prevention band 1.

[0024] The tightening portion 12 is a portion that extends from one end of the joint portion 11. In other words, the joint portion 11 and the tightening portion 12 are connected to each other. In this embodiment, the tightening portion 12 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the joint portion 11 extends. However, this is not a limitation, and the direction in which the tightening portion 12 extends may be any direction that at least intersects with the direction in which the joint portion 11 extends.

[0025] In the cable disengagement prevention band 1, the tightening portion 12 extends in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the joint portion 11, thereby forming a corner 1e. In other words, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 has a corner 1e. The corner 1e is the portion where the joint portion 11 and the tightening portion 12 intersect.

[0026] Furthermore, the lengths of the joint portion 11 and the fastening portion 12 may be changed as appropriate depending on the thickness and number of cables to be bundled using the cable drop-off prevention band 1.

[0027] The attachment portion 13 is a portion that extends from one end of the tightening portion 12. In other words, the tightening portion 12 and the attachment portion 13 are connected to each other. In this embodiment, the attachment portion 13 extends in a direction parallel to the direction in which the tightening portion 12 extends.

[0028] The attachment portion 13 is a portion that restrains the cable when the cable fall-off prevention band 1 is wrapped around the cable. Therefore, the width of the attachment portion 13 is larger than the widths of the joint portion 11 and the tightening portion 12. The size of the attachment portion 13 may be changed as appropriate depending on the thickness and number of cables to be bundled using the cable fall-off prevention band 1.

[0029] The attachment portion 13 also has a knob 131. The knob 131 is recessed from a tip 13a, which is the other end of the attachment portion 13, toward the fastening portion 12. This makes it easier for the user to peel off the engaged attachment portion 13.

[0030] The gap 14 opens in the thickness direction of the cable fall-off prevention band 1 at the attachment portion 13. When the cable fall-off prevention band 1 is wrapped around the cable, the joint portion 11 and the tightening portion 12 pass through the gap 14. Therefore, the size of the gap 14 is large enough to allow the joint portion 11 and the tightening portion 12 to pass through. Note that the shape and size of the gap 14 may be changed as appropriate depending on the shape and size of the joint portion 11 and the tightening portion 12.

[0031] For example, multiple personal computers are connected to multiple power connectors 3, such as LAN cables, via electronic equipment 2, such as a switching hub. If the multiple power connectors 3 connected to the electronic equipment 2 become disconnected for some reason, the multiple personal computers will be damaged. Therefore, some method must be used to prevent the power connectors 3 from becoming disconnected from the electronic equipment 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the cable 31 of the power connector 3 connected to the electronic device 2 by wire is to be restrained, the attachment portion 13 restrains the cable 31. Next, the joint portion 11 and the fastening portion 12 pass through the gap 14 so that the joint portion 11 is looped around the cable 31. As a result, the attachment portion 13 restrains the cable 31 and engages with the fastening portion 12. The joint 11 is attached to the electronic device 2. attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) 4. attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) The joint 11 that engages with the cable 4 may be on either the front surface 1a or the back surface 1b. When releasing the restraint of the cable drop-off prevention band 1, for example, the above-described procedure is carried out in reverse.

[0033] As a result, for example, when the power connector 3 is to be pulled out from the electronic device 2, the power connector 3 is in contact with the joint 11 of the cable drop-off prevention band 1. attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) 4 are engaged with each other, making it difficult to pull out of the electronic device 2. In other words, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 restrains the cable 31 of the power connector 3 and prevents the power connector 3 from disengaging.

[0034] Furthermore, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment has a corner 1e. Therefore, once the joining portion 11 and the tightening portion 12 have passed through the gap 14, the corner 1e becomes an obstacle, making it difficult for them to pass through the gap 14 again. In other words, because the tightening portion 12 extends in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the joining portion 11, it becomes difficult for them to pass through the gap 14 again after they have passed through it once. This makes it difficult for the attachment portion 13 that restrains the cable 31 to loosen. Therefore, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment can prevent the connector from falling off.

[0035] As described above, the cable anti-slip band 1 of this embodiment is formed of a hook-and-loop fastener having a surface 1a with a hook-type engaging element 1c and a back surface 1b that can engage with the surface 1a by hooking onto the hook-type engaging element 1c. The cable slip-off prevention band 1 comprises a joint portion 11, a fastening portion 12, and an attachment portion 13. The joint portion 11 is engageable with a hook-and-loop fastener 4 attached to the electronic device 2. The fastening portion 12 extends so as to intersect with the joint portion 11. The attachment portion 13 engages with the fastening portion 12 and restrains the cable 31 of the power connector 3 connectable to the electronic device 2. Furthermore, a gap 14 is provided in the attachment portion 13. The joint portion 11 and the fastening portion 12 pass through the gap 14.

[0036] In the cable dropout prevention band 1 of this embodiment, the joint 11 passes through the gap 14 and attachment( hook-and-loop fastener ) 4. As a result, for example, when an attempt is made to pull out the power connector 3 from the electronic device 2, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 prevents the power connector 3 from coming off the electronic device 2.

[0037] Furthermore, in the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment, the attachment portion 13 restrains the cable 31 of the power connector 3. The fastening portion 12 that passes through the gap 14 extends in a direction that intersects with the joint portion 11. Therefore, once the fastening portion 12 has passed through the gap 14, it is difficult for it to pass through the gap 14 again. This makes it difficult for the attachment portion 13 that restrains the cable 31 to loosen. Therefore, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment can prevent the connector from falling off.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, the tip 13a of the attachment portion 13 has a gripping portion 131 that is recessed toward the fastening portion 12. This makes it easy for an operator to grip the tip 13a of the attachment portion 13. Therefore, the attachment portion 13 of this embodiment can be easily removed by an operator.

[0039] In this embodiment, the joint portion 11, the tightening portion 12, and the mounting portion 13 are integrally formed. That is, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment is formed, for example, by punching from a single piece of material. This allows the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0040] Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described.

[0041] The cable slip-off prevention band 1 of the second embodiment shown in Fig. 4 has the same configuration as the cable slip-off prevention band 1 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the second embodiment also provides the same effects based on the configuration as the first embodiment. However, the second embodiment is used in a different way from the first embodiment.

[0042] Fig. 4 is a plan view showing an example of use of the cable drop-off prevention band 1 of the second embodiment. Fig. 4 shows a configuration example in which the cable drop-off prevention band 1 of this embodiment is used in, for example, a traffic control center that monitors road traffic conditions.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4, a traffic control center is equipped with multiple monitors that monitor traffic conditions throughout the day. For example, when replacing a monitor installed in the traffic control center, a worker must cover the front of the monitor while performing the replacement work. However, when the front of the monitor is covered while the replacement work is performed, it is difficult for anyone other than the worker to see the image displayed on the monitor. For this reason, when replacing a monitor installed in a traffic control center, a temporary monitor 6 is generally prepared in addition to the existing monitor 5.

[0044] The existing monitor 5 is, for example, a monitor that displays traffic conditions. The temporary monitor 6 is, for example, a monitor that temporarily displays traffic conditions when the existing monitor 5 is replaced.

[0045] For example, when replacing an existing monitor 5 with a new monitor at a traffic control center, the connector 51 that outputs video to the existing monitor 5 is removed from the existing monitor 5. Then, the connector 51 of the existing monitor 5 is connected to the connector 61 of the temporary monitor 6, and the video is displayed on the temporary monitor 6.

[0046] 5 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of the second embodiment. In other words, FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the restraining portion of the cable disengagement prevention band 1 in FIG.

[0047] 5, the cable drop-off prevention band 1 restrains two connectors together. The cable drop-off prevention band 1 of the second embodiment is used, for example, in monitor replacement work in a traffic control center or the like.

[0048] In this embodiment, when securing the wired connectors 51 and 61, two cable drop-off prevention bands 1 are prepared. The two cable drop-off prevention bands 1 face in opposite directions and secure the cables. In this embodiment, at least two cable drop-off prevention bands 1 are sufficient, and for example, four or six cable drop-off prevention bands 1 may be used.

[0049] The attachment portion 13 of one of the cable fall-off prevention bands 1 restrains the cable 52 of the existing monitor 5. Next, the joint portion 11 and the fastening portion 12 pass through the gap 14 so that the joint portion 11 forms a loop around the cable 31. Therefore, the attachment portion 13 restrains the cable 52 and engages with the fastening portion 12.

[0050] The other cable drop-off prevention band 1 is attached in the same manner as described above, with the attachment portion 13 restraining the cable 62 of the temporary monitor 6 and engaging with the fastening portion 12. The joint 11 of one of the cable drop prevention bands 1 and , and the joint 11 of the other cable drop prevention band 1. ofWhen releasing the restraint of the cable disengagement prevention band 1, for example, the above-described procedure is carried out in reverse.

[0051] As a result, for example, when trying to pull out the connector 51 of the existing monitor 5 from the connector 61 of the temporary monitor 6, the connector 61 of the temporary monitor 6 is difficult to pull out from the connector 51 of the existing monitor 5 because the joint 11 of one cable anti-slip band 1 and the joint 11 of the other cable anti-slip band 1 are engaged with each other. That is, the cable drop-off prevention band 1 restrains the cable 52 of the existing monitor 5 and the cable 62 of the temporary monitor 6, and also prevents the connector 51 of the existing monitor 5 and the connector 61 of the temporary monitor 6 from dropping off. Therefore, the cable drop-off prevention band 1 of this embodiment can prevent the connectors 51, 61 from dropping off.

[0052] As described above, the cable anti-slip band 1 of this embodiment is formed of a hook-and-loop fastener having a surface 1a with a hook-type engaging element 1c and a back surface 1b that can engage with the surface 1a by hooking onto the hook-type engaging element 1c. The cable drop prevention band 1 comprises two joints 11, two fastening portions 12, and two mounting portions 13. The two joints 11 are engageable with each other. The two fastening portions 12 extend so as to intersect with the two joints 11. The two mounting portions 13 engage with the two fastening portions 12 and restrain the cable 52 of the connector 51 and the cable 62 of the connector 61, which connect the existing monitor 5 and the temporary monitor 6 to each other. Furthermore, a gap 14 is provided between the two mounting portions 13. The joints 11 and fastening portions 12 pass through the gap 14.

[0053] In the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment, the two joints 11 pass through the gap 14 and engage with each other. As a result, for example, when an attempt is made to pull out the connector 51 of the existing monitor 5 from the connector 61 of the temporary monitor 6, the two cable disengagement prevention bands 1 prevent the connector 51 of the existing monitor 5 from separating from the connector 61 of the temporary monitor 6. Therefore, the cable disengagement prevention band 1 of this embodiment can prevent the connectors from disengaging.

[0054] Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included within the scope and spirit of the invention, as well as within the scope of the invention and its equivalents as defined in the claims.
