Cord folding instrument

Abstract

To provide a cord folding instrument that can easily fold and tie and organize even a long cord when tidying up cords for electrical appliances.SOLUTION: To fold a long cord, it is required to repeat a process of folding the cord to a certain length by hand, which takes time and effort. However, according to a cord folding instrument, by connecting instruments (1) and connecting the cords to each connected instrument (1), the cords are integrated with the instrument (1), and by folding and extending each connected instrument (1) in a rotating part, the connected cords can also be folded or extended together, and a cord length can also be adjusted.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cord folding device that can easily fold the cord of an electrical product and can be easily bundled and organized.

Background Art

[0002] When organizing the cord of an electrical product, if it is not an automatic winding storage device, after use, the cord is often manually wound around a predetermined shape (Patent Document 1), or the cord is manually folded and then put into a box (Patent Document 2), or tied with a bundling tool. However, it takes time to wind or fold the cord, and depending on the folding method, the cord may be damaged.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the case of a device for winding a cord, there was a problem that a long cord had to be manually wound around a predetermined device, which was time-consuming.

[0005] When folding and storing or bundling a cord, there was a problem that a long cord had to be manually folded one by one to a certain length, which was time-consuming.

[0006] When folding a cord, if a load is applied to the folded portion of the cord, there was a problem that the cord would be damaged.

[0007] When using an electrical appliance in a location close to the cord insertion port, there was a problem that the cord would be left over and hang down, getting caught on the surrounding objects.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0008] Connect a necessary number of appliances (1) according to the length of the cord to be folded in a rotatable state at one end, and by connecting the cord to each connected appliance (1) to form an integrated unit, the function of the cord that can bend freely is restricted, and the cord is also made to move in conjunction with the folding and stretching movements of the connected appliances (1).

[0009] The position where the cord is connected to the appliance (1) is set at the center of the appliance (1) or a position close to the center.

Effect of the Invention

[0010] The operation of folding the cord is simple and the time is shortened. Since the folded cord can be bundled with a bundling item and neatly stored, the effect is significant for daily use items. It also eliminates the situation of stepping on the insertion plug that has fallen to the floor after leaving the electrical appliance without bundling the cord, or putting the cord in a rolled-up state together with the electrical appliance when pulling it out, etc., which would waste storage space.

[0011] By setting the cord connection position at the center of the appliance (1) or a position close to the center and separating it from the rotating part, the bending of the cord at the rotating part becomes gentle, and damage can be prevented.

[0012] If there is a part of the cord that is too long and not in use, among the connected devices (1) with the cord connected, the device (1) of the unused part can be folded at the rotating part, and the folded device (1) and the connected cord can be bundled with rubber, string, etc. to adjust the length of the unnecessary part of the cord.

Claims

1. An apparatus (1) is connected to be rotatable at one end, and an electric product cord is connected to each of the connected apparatuses (1). In a state where the apparatus (1) and the cord are integrated, the connected apparatuses (1) are rotated and folded at the rotating part of the connected apparatuses (1), so that the connected cord can also be folded together. A cord folding apparatus characterized by this.

2. The cord folding apparatus according to claim 1, wherein holes (2) for connection are provided at both ends of the apparatus (1), an attachment (3) serving as a rotating shaft is passed through the holes (2) for connection, and holes (4) for passing fasteners or fixtures such as strings or wires used to connect the cord to the apparatus (1) are provided.

3. The cord folding apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a hook (5) for connecting the cord.
