[0009] Incidentally, when using the aforementioned joint taps, etc., it is necessary to route the joint tap's cord and other cables from near the tabletop to the wall outlet, so it is considered effective to attach so-called power cord holders to the underside of the tabletop or to the table legs (see Non-Patent Document 3, etc.). However, when the layout of the equipment on the table is changed, or when the position or orientation of the table is changed, it may be necessary to adjust the fixing position and orientation of the cables, whereas the power cord holder in Non-Patent Document 3 is an adhesive type, so it is not possible to adjust the fixing position and orientation of the cables, and the user had to prepare an additional power cord holder.

[0010] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a cable clip mounting set that allows the user to easily adjust the fixing position and orientation of the cable. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] To solve the above problems, a cable clip mounting set according to the present invention is a cable clip mounting set for detachably mounting a cable clip for holding a cable to a predetermined location, comprising: a slide rail fixed to the predetermined location; a groove provided on the slide rail opposite to the fixed surface; a slide base that can be fitted into the groove, slides along the groove when the user slides it with a force greater than a certain amount, and is fixed to the groove when the force is released; and a cable clip that can be attached to the slide base, wherein the mounting position of the cable clip to the slide base can be selected from at least two positions rotated around the normal to the fixed surface of the slide rail.

[0012] To solve the above problems, in any cable clip mounting set according to the present invention, a return portion is provided on both side walls of the groove portion to prevent the slide base from falling off, and a pair of diagonally opposite corners of the slide base are chamfered or tapered, and when the user rotates the slide base with a certain amount of force or more using the dial, the engagement of the slide base with the return portion is released, and when the user rotates the slide base with a certain amount of force or more using the dial in the opposite direction, the engagement of the slide base with the return portion is locked.

[0013] To solve the above problems, in any cable clip mounting set according to the present invention, the slide base comprises a slide ball positioned to protrude toward the groove, a ball receiver for supporting the slide ball, and an elastic member interposed between the ball receiver and the slide ball, and the groove may be provided with a plurality of concave ball stops for locking the slide ball arranged in a line along the sliding direction of the slide base.

[0014] In any cable clip attachment set according to the present invention for solving the above problems, the cable clip may include a latching portion for latching the cable and an openable / closable cover for preventing the cable from detaching.

[0015] In any cable clip attachment set according to the present invention for solving the above problems, the latching portion may be capable of latching a plurality of the cables in parallel.

[0016] In any cable clip attachment set according to the present invention for solving the above problems, one or more second slide bases that can be fitted into the groove portion, slide along the groove portion when the user slides them with a force greater than or equal to a certain value, and are fixed to the groove portion when the force is released, and a joint tap that can be attached to the one or more second slide bases may be further provided.

Advantages of the Invention

[0017] According to one cable clip attachment set of the present invention, the fixing position of the cable can be adjusted by sliding the slide base along the groove portion, and the fixing posture of the cable can be adjusted by changing the mounting posture of the cable clip with respect to the slide base. Therefore, the user can easily adjust the fixing position and fixing posture of the cable.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a cable clip attachment set according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0020] 1. Outline configuration of the cable clip mounting set First, the schematic configuration of the cable clip attachment set according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining the cable clip attachment set according to the present embodiment.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the cable clip mounting set 1 according to this embodiment is a mounting set for detachably attaching a cable clip 14, which holds a cable 1C such as a cord 13C, to a predetermined location such as the tabletop of a table. This cable clip mounting set 1 comprises a slide rail 11, two slide bases 12, 12 to which two cable clips 14, 14 are individually mounted, a pair of slide bases for joint taps (corresponding to the second slide base) 12-2, 12-2 to which both ends of a joint tap 13 can be mounted, two cable clips 14, 14, and one joint tap 13. Here, the number of slide bases 12 is set to "2" and the number of joint taps 13 is set to "1", but these numbers can be changed as appropriate.

[0022] The slide rail 11 is fixed to a flat surface such as the front, back, or side of a predetermined location, such as a table, using double-sided tape, magnetic tape, screws, etc. On the surface of the slide rail 11 opposite to the surface to which it is fixed, there is a groove 11G which serves as the mounting point for the slide bases 12, 12 and the slide bases 12-2, 12-2 for joint taps.

[0023] Each of the cable clips 14, 14 is a clip that secures the cable 1C, such as the cord 13C, connected to the joint tap 13. The cable clips 14, 14 can be individually attached to the slide bases 12, 12. Details of the structure of the cable clip 14 will be described later. Each of the slide bases 12, 12 is a mounting fixture that can be fitted into the groove 11G of the slide rail 11 while holding the cable clip 14. When the user slides it with a force greater than a certain amount, the slide base 12 slides along the groove 11G, and when the user releases the force, the slide base 12 is fixed in the groove 11G.

[0024] The joint tap 13 houses multiple (in this case, two) connector modules 13M, 13M side by side, and the entire joint tap 13 can be mounted on a pair of joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 via end caps 13E, 13E at both ends. The pair of joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 are mounting fixtures that can be fitted into the groove 11G of the slide rail 11 while holding the end caps 13E, 13E at both ends of the joint tap 13. When the user slides the joint tap with a certain amount of force, the joint tap slide base 12-2 slides along the groove 11G, and when the user releases the force, the joint tap slide base 12-2 is fixed in the groove 11G.

[0025] Furthermore, the structure is common between the two slide bases 12, 12 that hold the cable clips 14, 14, and the structure is also common between the pair of slide bases 12-2, 12-2 for joint taps that hold the joint tap 13. In addition, the basic structure of the slide base 12 and the slide base 12-2 for joint taps are common, but the slide base 12 differs from the slide base 12-2 in that it has a structure that allows the orientation of the object to be held (cable clip 14) to be selected from two orientations (here referred to as vertical and horizontal) which are rotated 90° around the normal to the surface to which the slide rail 11 is fixed.

[0026] Furthermore, return portions 11R, 11R are provided on both side walls of the groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11 to prevent the slide bases 12, 12 and the joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 from falling off. These return portions 11R, 11R engage with the four corners of each of the slide bases 12, 12 and the joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2, preventing each of them from falling off the slide rail 11. In addition, end stoppers 11E, 11E are attached to both ends of the slide rail 11 to prevent the slide bases 12, 12 and the joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 from falling off both ends of the slide rail 11. The end stoppers 11E, 11E may be designed to be fixed to the slide rail 11 with a simple tool such as a hex wrench.

[0027] 2. Joint tap mounting structure Next, the mounting structure of the joint tap 13 will be described with reference to Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the joint tap 13 comprises a main frame 13F with a roughly U-shaped cross-section that houses multiple (in this case, two) connector modules 13M, 13M side by side, and a pair of end caps 13E, 13E that fit onto both ends of the main frame 13F so as to sandwich the multiple (in this case, two) connector modules 13M, 13M housed in the main frame 13F. These pair of end caps 13E, 13E are detachably held on a pair of joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 fixed at predetermined intervals in the grooves 11G of the slide rail 11. Since the pair of end caps 13E, 13E have a symmetrical shape, the structure of one of the end caps 13E will be described here.

[0028] The end cap 13E is provided with an engaging portion (not shown) that can engage with an engaged portion (not shown) of the joint tap slide base 12-2. The user can attach the joint tap 13 to the pair of joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 by holding both ends of the joint tap 13 (a pair of end caps 13E, 13E) with both hands and sliding it into the engaged portions (not shown) of the pair of joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 (one-touch mounting structure).

[0029] Furthermore, if the user simultaneously presses the lower ends of the engaged portions (not shown) of the pair of joint tap slide bases 12-2, 12-2 with, for example, the fingers of both hands, causing the engaged portions to elastically deform, the engagement of the pair of end caps 13E, 13E (not shown) is released, and the joint tap 13 can be removed from the pair of slide bases 12, 12 (one-touch removal structure). Furthermore, other structures that allow for one-touch attachment and removal can also be used for the mounting / removal structure between the end cap 13E and the joint tap slide base 12-2. Furthermore, the mounting / removal structure between the end cap 13E and the slide base 12-2 for the joint tap may also be applied to the mounting / removal structure between the cable clip 14 and the slide base 12. However, the mounting / removal structure between the cable clip 14 and the slide base 12 may be designed so that once they are attached, they cannot be removed (attachable but not detachable).

[0030] 3. Cable clip mounting structure The mounting structure of the cable clip 14 is described below. Figure 2(A) is an exploded perspective view of the cable clip and slide base, Figure 2(B) is a perspective view of the slide base from the back, and Figure 2(C) is a perspective view of the cable clip from the back.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2(A), the slide base 12 is provided with four concave engaging portions 12D, 12D, 12D, 12D on the groove side. These four engaging portions 12D, 12D, 12D, 12D can individually engage with four partially elastically deformable convex engaging portions 14D, 14D, 14D, 14D provided on the groove side (Figure 2(C)) of the cable clip 14. Furthermore, near the tip of each of the engaging portions 14D, 14D, 14D, 14D of the cable clip 14, a return R is provided to prevent the engagement from easily disengaging when the engaging portion 14D engages with the engaging portion 12D (to lock the engagement).

[0032] The four engaging portions 12D, 12D, 12D, 12D of the slide base 12 can engage with the four engaging portions 14D, 14D, 14D, 14D of the cable clip 14, regardless of whether the cable clip 14 is in a vertical orientation (Figure 2(A)) or a horizontal orientation (not shown).

[0033] To this end, the four engaging parts 12D, 12D, 12D, 12D of the slide base 12 have the same structure (a 90-degree rotationally symmetrical structure) before and after being rotated 90° around the aforementioned normal, and the four engaging parts 14D, 14D, 14D, 14D of the cable clip 14 have the same structure (a 90-degree rotationally symmetrical structure) before and after being rotated 90° around the aforementioned normal. In this example, the concave engagement portion 12D is positioned on the slide base 12 side and the convex engagement portion 14D is positioned on the cable clip 14 side. However, the concave engagement portion 12D may be positioned on the cable clip 14 side and the convex engagement portion 14D may be positioned on the slide base 12 side.

[0034] 4. About the materials Next, the materials of each component will be described. The end stoppers 11E, 11E of the slide rail 11, the housings of the connector modules 13M, 13M, the end caps 13E, 13E of the joint tap 13, the slide bases 12, 12, and the slide bases 12-2, 12-2 for the joint tap are made of resin, for example, while the slide rail 11 and the main frame 13F are made of metal, for example. The slide rail 11 and the main frame 13F can be manufactured by extrusion molding of a metal sheet, such as aluminum. Extrusion molding allows for the easy manufacture of slide rails 11 and main frame 13F of appropriate lengths. Furthermore, if the main frame 13F is made of metal, it is easy to accommodate increases or decreases in the number of connector modules 13M, 13M. For example, if a long main frame is prepared in advance and cut to the appropriate length, the required number of main frame 13F can be prepared immediately. Furthermore, covering the cut edges of the metal main frame 13F with resin end caps 13E, 13E offers the advantage of ensuring safety without requiring time for edge treatment.

[0035] 5. Engagement structure of the slide base to the slide rail Next, the engagement structure of the slide base 12 with respect to the slide rail 11 will be described. Since the configuration is the same between the two slide bases 12, 12, we will focus on one slide base 12 in this description. Note that the engagement structure of the slide base 12 with respect to the slide rail 11 also applies to the engagement structure of the joint tap slide base 12-2 with respect to the slide rail 11.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2(A), of the four corners of the slide base 12, a pair of diagonally opposite corners C, C are chamfered or tapered, while the remaining pair of corners C', C' are not. Furthermore, a slit 12S is formed along the top edge of the slide base 12, extending from corner C to corner C', and a slit 12S is formed along the bottom edge of the slide base 12, extending from corner C to corner C'. As a result, the overall shape of the slide base 12 is approximately S-shaped or Z-shaped when viewed from the front (S-shaped in the illustrated example). Therefore, the diagonal length from one corner C to the other corner C of the slide base 12 is elastically deformable.

[0037] Figure 3 illustrates how the engagement of the slide base with respect to the slide rail is released / locked. As shown in Figure 3(A)→(B), when the user grasps the slide base 12 fixed to the groove 11G with their fingertips and rotates the dial to the left, the corners C',C' that are not chamfered or tapered first disengage from the return portions 11R,11R, and then the corners C,C that are chamfered or tapered disengage from the return portions 11R,11R, thus releasing the engagement of the slide base 12 with the return portions 11R,11R. This allows the slide base 12 to be removed from the slide rail 11.

[0038] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 3(C) to 3(D), when a user grasps the slide base 12, which is not fixed to the groove 11G, with their fingertips and performs a reverse dial rotation operation (clockwise dial rotation operation), the chamfered or tapered corners C,C engage with the return portions 11R,11R, and then the non-chamfered or tapered corners C',C' engage with the return portions 11R,11R, preventing further rotation, thus locking the engagement of the slide base 12 with the return portions 11R,11R. This attaches the slide base 12 to the slide rail 11. Therefore, in this embodiment, there is no need for complicated adjustment work such as tightening screws when attaching or removing the slide base 12 to the slide rail 11.

[0039] 6. Slide structure of slide base relative to slide rail Next, we will describe the sliding structure of the slide base 12 relative to the slide rail 11. Since the configuration is the same between the two slide bases 12, we will focus on one slide base 12 in this explanation. Furthermore, the sliding structure of slide base 12 also applies similarly to the sliding structure of the joint tap slide base 12-2.

[0040] As shown in Figures 2(A) and (B), the slide base 12 comprises a metal slide ball 12B, such as an iron ball, positioned to protrude from the groove 11G, a ball receiver 12N that supports the slide ball 12B, and an elastic member 12E, such as a cushioning material (soft substance), interposed between the ball receiver 12N and the slide ball 12B.

[0041] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, a plurality of concave ball stops 11S for engaging the slide ball 12B are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the slide rail 11 (the sliding direction of the slide base 12) on the bottom surface of the groove 11G of the slide rail 11. The shape of the inner wall of these ball stops 11S conforms to the shape of the surface of the slide ball 12B. The elastic member 12E of the slide base 12, as described above, biases the slide ball 12B toward the bottom surface of the groove 11G of the slide rail 11. When the slide ball 12B is engaged with any of the ball stops 11S, the sliding position of the slide base 12 in the groove 11G is fixed by the pressing force of the elastic member 12E.

[0042] Then, when an external force exceeding a certain amount is applied to the slide base 12 in the sliding direction from this state, the elastic member 12E is compressed and the slide ball 12B is pushed inward, releasing the locking of the slide ball 12B to the ball stopper 11S, and the sliding position of the slide base 12 changes.

[0043] Therefore, when a user grasps the slide base 12 fixed to the groove 11G with their hand and slides it with a certain amount of force, the slide position of the slide base 12 changes. By releasing the force at the moment the slide ball 12B engages with the desired ball stopper 11S, the slide base 12 can be fixed in that position. Furthermore, if the slide ball 12B engages and disengages with any of the ball stops 11S repeatedly during such a sliding operation, the user's fingertips will feel the sensation of engagement and disengagement (a click), and the user will also hear a click sound when it engages. Thus, the user can intuitively move and fix the slide base 12.

[0044] Therefore, in this embodiment, the movement and fixing of the slide base 12 can be easily performed by the user's sliding operation alone, eliminating the need for complicated adjustment work such as tightening screws.

[0045] 7. Structure of the cable clip Next, the structure of the cable clip 14 will be described. Here, we will give an example where the cable clip 14 can fasten up to three cables in parallel, but the maximum number of cables that the cable clip 14 can fasten may be one, two, or four or more. Figure 4(A) is a side view of the cable clip with the cover open and the slide base to which it is attached, and Figure 4(B) is a side view of the cable clip with the cover closed and the slide base to which it is attached.

[0046] As shown in Figure 4, when the cable clip 14 is attached to the slide base 12, the four engaging portions 14D, 14D, 14D (Figure 2(C)) of the cable clip 14 engage with the four engaged portions 12D, 12D, 12D (Figure 2(B)) of the slide base 12.

[0047] The cable clip 14 comprises a main body 14B, three recessed fastening portions 14BS, 14BS, 14BS provided on the main body 14B for fastening a cable 1C such as a cord 13C, an openable / closable cover 14C to prevent the one to three cables 1C fastened to the three recessed fastening portions 14BS, 14BS, 14BS from coming loose, a hinge portion 14H (Figure 2(A)) interposed on the base end side of the openable / closable cover 14C and the main body 14B, a knob portion 14C-1 provided on the tip side of the openable / closable cover 14C, and a projection 14B-1 on the main body 14B that engages with the tip of the openable / closable cover 14C. Note that on the openable / closable cover 14C, three recessed retaining portions 14CS, 14CS, 14CS are individually provided at positions opposite to the three recessed fastening portions 14BS, 14BS, 14BS.

[0048] The user can hold 1 to 3 cables 1C in the cable clip 14 by individually attaching them to the recessed latching parts 14BS, 14BS, 14BS with the open / close cover 14C in the open position (Figure 4(A)) and then closing the open / close cover 14C (Figure 4(B)). When the open / close cover 14C is closed (Figure 4(B)), the three recessed latching parts 14BS, 14BS, 14BS and the three recessed retaining parts CS, 14CS, 14CS face each other, forming three cylindrical holding spaces 14A, 14A, 14A, in which 1 to 3 cables are stably held. Holding the cables in such cylindrical holding spaces 14A ensures a wide contact surface for the cables 1C, thus reducing the possibility of damage to the cables 1C.

[0049] Incidentally, Figure 1, mentioned above, shows how a single cord 13C (an example of cable 1C) connected to the joint tap 13 is held in the lowest holding space 14A of the two cable clips 14, 14.

[0050] 8. Effects of the Embodiment The effects of this embodiment will now be described. As described above, according to the cable clip mounting set 1 of this embodiment, the fixing position of the cable 1C can be adjusted by sliding the slide base 12 along the groove 11G, and the fixing position of the cable 1C can be adjusted between vertical (Figure 5) and horizontal (Figure 6) by changing the mounting position of the cable clip 14 with respect to the slide base 12 by 90°. A vertically oriented cable clip 14 (Figure 5) can hold up to three horizontally routed cables 1C, 1C, 1C in a vertical arrangement, whereas a vertically oriented cable clip 14 (Figure 6) can hold up to three vertically routed cables 1C, 1C, 1C in a horizontal arrangement. Therefore, according to the cable clip mounting set 1 of this embodiment, the user can easily adjust the fixing position and fixing orientation of the cables 1C, 1C, 1C.

[0051] Here, as shown in Figure 7(A), if the cable 1C, which should be routed vertically, is held by a vertical cable clip 14, the cable 1C may be pulled up or down. In that case, a force in the direction of the arrow in Figure 7(A) is applied, which could release the lock of the slide base 12 on the slide rail 11, and the cable clip 14 would no longer be able to hold the cable 1C. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 7(B), if the cable 1C, which should be routed horizontally, is held by a horizontally oriented cable clip 14, the cable 1C may be pulled to the left or right. In that case, a force in the direction of the arrow in Figure 7(B) may be applied, releasing the lock of the slide base 12 on the slide rail 11, and the cable clip 14 may no longer be able to hold the cable 1C. In this respect, with the cable clip mounting set 1 according to this embodiment, the orientation of the cable clip 14 can be selected to be either vertical (Figure 5) or horizontal (Figure 6). Therefore, if you want to route the cable 1C horizontally, you can set the orientation of the cable clip 14 to vertical (Figure 5) beforehand, and if you want to route the cable 1C vertically, you can set the orientation of the cable clip 14 to horizontal (Figure 6) beforehand, thereby reliably preventing the above-mentioned problem (unintentional unlocking). The cable clip 14 may be attached to the slide base 12 by the user after purchase of the cable clip mounting set 1, or it may be attached by the manufacturer or seller of the cable clip mounting set 1 before sale. In the latter case, the user can simply select and purchase a slide base 12 with the cable clip 14 attached in the desired orientation (vertical / horizontal). In any case, one type of cable clip 14 and slide base 12 can be used for both vertical and horizontal wiring, which is efficient.

[0052] 9. Variations 9-1. Regarding the adjustment pitch of cable clips In the embodiment described above, the orientation of the cable clip 14 relative to the slide base 12 could be selected from two orientations that differed by 90°, but it may also be possible to select from three orientations that differed by 60°. In that case, the multiple engaging parts of the slide base 12 should be made 60° rotationally symmetric, and the multiple engaging parts of the cable clip 14 should be made 60° rotationally symmetric. Note that the angular pitch and the number of orientations are not limited to these.

[0053] 9-2. About joint taps Furthermore, the number and type of connector modules housed in the joint tap 13 can be arbitrarily selected. Therefore, for example, the manufacturer of the joint tap 13 can customize the joint tap 13 by appropriately selecting the number and type of connector modules according to the requests of the customer or user of the joint tap 13. For example, the joint tap 13 houses at least two or more connector modules selected from various types of connector modules, such as outlet modules, USB modules, LAN connector modules, and HDMI® connector modules.

[0054] Furthermore, USB modules can be selected from two types, for example, a connector for USB charging (requires power) and a connector for USB connection (does not require power). In addition, USB modules can be selected from two types, for example, a USB-C module compliant with the USB-C standard and a USB 3.0 module compliant with the USB 3.0 standard. Furthermore, in the example shown in Figure 1, the number of outlets (number of connector modules) of the joint tap 13 is "2," but it is possible to expand it to, for example, "3" or more.

[0055] Furthermore, in order to easily change (replace) the number (number of ports) and arrangement of connector modules housed in the joint tap 13, it is preferable that at least the width size (the size in the longitudinal direction of the main frame 13, described later) is set to be common among the various types of connector modules.

[0056] 9-3. About the slide base In this embodiment, the total number of slide bases 12 and joint tap slide bases 12-2 provided in the cable clip mounting set 1 was "4," but this is not limited to this, and it may be 1 to 3, or 5 or more. In any case, the user of the cable clip mounting set 1 can increase the flexibility of the cable 1C wiring pattern by purchasing additional slide bases 12, joint tap slide bases 12-2, or slide rails 11.

[0057] 9-4. Regarding the objects held by the slide base Furthermore, in the joint tap mounting set 1 of this embodiment, the objects held by the slide base 12 or the slide base 12-2 for joint taps were the joint tap 13 or the cable clip 14. However, other devices or stationery items can be added to the slide base 12 or the slide base 12-2 for joint taps. Doing so can expand the functionality around the joint tap 13 or help to keep the desk tidy. For example, if a pencil holder is provided that is held by the slide base 12 or the slide base 12-2 for joint taps, pens can be stored together, and the desk can be kept tidy.

[0058] 10. Others The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be materialized by appropriately modifying the components without departing from its spirit. Furthermore, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining the multiple components disclosed in each embodiment. [Explanation of Symbols]
