[Diagram 2] 1 is a front view showing a cable tie attachment device according to a first embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 3] 3 is a plan view showing the attachment device for the cable tie shown in FIG. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a front view showing an elevator apparatus in which a cable tie attachment device according to a first embodiment of the present invention is used. The elevator apparatus includes a car 1 that moves up and down a hoistway, an on-car device 2 provided on the top of the car 1, an in-car operation panel 3 provided inside the car 1, and a distribution cable 4 connected to the on-car device 2 and the in-car operation panel 3. The distribution cable 4 passes from the top of the car 1 through the side of the car 1 and is inserted inside the car 1 at the bottom. Although one distribution cable 4 is shown in FIG. 1, the elevator apparatus includes a plurality of distribution cables 4. The distribution cables 4 extend in the height direction and are arranged spaced apart from each other in the lateral direction.

[0010] Next, a description will be given of a cable tie attachment device for bundling a plurality of distribution cables 4. Note that the cable tie attachment device is not limited to the distribution cables 4, and may be used to bundle a plurality of control cables 5 connected to the lower part of the car 1, for example.

[0011] Fig. 2 is a front view showing the cable tie attachment device according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the cable tie attachment device of Fig. 2. The cable tie attachment device includes a holding member 7 that holds the cable tie 6, and a gripping member 8 that extends downward from the holding member 7 and is gripped by an operator.

[0012] The holding member 7 has a base 71 and a pair of cable holding portions 72 provided on an upper portion of the base 71. Each of the pair of cable holding portions 72 holds an annular cable tie 6. One of the pair of cable holding portions 72 is a first cable holding portion 72A, and the other is a second cable holding portion 72B.

[0013] The first cable holding portion 72A is fixed to the base 71. The second cable holding portion 72B is slidable in the width direction A relative to the base 71. The second cable holding portion 72B slides relative to the base 71 so that the second cable holding portion 72B approaches the first cable holding portion 72A, thereby reducing the inner area of ​​the cable tie 6. By reducing the inner area of ​​the cable tie 6, the multiple wiring cables 4 inserted inside the cable tie 6 are bundled. The multiple wiring cables 4 to be bundled are arranged along the side surface of the base 71. This allows the multiple wiring cables 4 to be tightly bundled using the cable tie 6.

[0014] The cable tie attachment device also includes a cutting member (not shown) that cuts off excess portion 61 of cable tie 6 when cable tie 6 bundles multiple wiring cables 4. Examples of the cutting member include a cutter and scissors. The cable tie attachment device also includes a receiving tray (not shown) that receives the cut off excess portion 61.

[0015] The gripping member 8 has a first rod member 81 and a second rod member 82 provided adjacent to the first rod member. The first rod member 81 is fixed to the base 71. The second rod member 82 is slidable relative to the base 71 when the second rod member 82 is operated by an operator. When the second rod member 82 slides relative to the base 71, the second cable holding portion 72B slides relative to the base 71. Therefore, when the gripping member 8 is operated, the holding member 7 reduces the inner area of ​​the cable tie.

[0016] The gripping member 8 also includes a cutting operation unit 83 provided on the first rod member 81. When the cutting operation unit 83 is operated, the cutting member cuts off the excess portion 61. When the operator grasps the cutting operation unit 83 and the first rod member 81 with his or her hands, the cutting operation unit 83 is operated.

[0017] The gripping member 8 is extendable in the longitudinal direction. When the gripping member 8 extends in the longitudinal direction, the height position of the holding member 7 changes.

[0018] The gripping member 8 also includes a hold-release operation part (not shown). The hold-release operation part is provided on the first rod member 81 or the second rod member 82. When an operator operates the hold-release operation part, the hold of the cable tie 6 by the pair of cable holding parts 72 is released. This causes the cable tie to be removed from the cable tie attachment device.

[0019] Next, a procedure for bundling a plurality of wiring cables 4 using a cable tie attachment device will be described. The portions of the plurality of wiring cables 4 to be bundled are at a set height position, and are also at a height position that is out of reach of the worker. First, the worker bundles the portions of the plurality of wiring cables 4 at a height position that the worker can reach, and places a ring-shaped cable tie 6 so as to surround the bundled wiring cables 4. The cable tie 6 is also attached to a holding member 7. At this time, the cable tie 6 is movable in the height direction relative to the wiring cables 4. In other words, the cable tie 6 is in a state of being temporarily fixed to the wiring cables 4.

[0020] Thereafter, the worker moves the gripping member 8 upward. This causes the cable tie 6 to move upward while sliding along the wiring cable 4. This causes the bundled portion of the multiple wiring cables 4 to move upward. After the cable tie 6 reaches a set height position, the worker operates the gripping member 8. Specifically, the worker moves the second rod member 82 in a direction in which the second rod member 82 approaches the first rod member 81. The worker may repeat the movement of the second rod member 82 multiple times.

[0021] As the second rod member 82 moves in a direction approaching the first rod member 81, the second cable holding portion 72B moves in a direction approaching the first cable holding portion 72A. This reduces the inner area of ​​the cable tie 6. As a result, the cable tie 6 tightly bundles the multiple wiring cables 4. This fixes the cable tie 6 to the wiring cables 4.

[0022] Thereafter, the worker operates the cutting operation unit 83. When the cutting operation unit is operated, a cutting member (not shown) cuts the excess portion 61 of the cable tie 6.

[0023] Thereafter, the worker operates the hold release operation unit. By operating the hold release operation unit, the hold of the distribution cable 4 by the first cable holding unit 72A and the second cable holding unit 72B is released. This completes the procedure for bundling a plurality of distribution cables 4 using the cable tie attachment device.

[0024] As described above, the cable tie attachment device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes the holding member 7 that holds the annular cable tie 6, and the gripping member 8 that extends downward from the holding member 7 and is gripped by an operator. The holding member 7 reduces the inner area of ​​the cable tie 6 by operating the gripping member 8. This makes it possible to bundle the portions of the multiple distribution cables 4 that extend in the height direction and are separated from one another in the lateral direction, and that are at a height position that is out of reach of the operator.

[0025] The cable tie attachment device also includes a cutting member that cuts off the excess portion 61 of the cable tie 6 when the cable tie 6 bundles a plurality of wiring cables 4. The cutting member cuts off the excess portion 61 when the gripping member 8 is operated. This makes it possible to prevent the excess portion 61 from remaining attached to the cable tie 6.

[0026] In addition, the gripping member 8 is extendable in the longitudinal direction, which allows the worker to easily place the cable tie 6 at a set height without using a stepladder.

[0027] Moreover, the gripping member 8 has a first rod member 81 and a second rod member 82 provided adjacent to the first rod member 81. As the second rod member 82 approaches the first rod member 81, the holding member 7 reduces the inner area of ​​the cable tie 6. This allows the operator to easily operate the gripping member 8.

[0028] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, a description has been given of a cable tie attachment device that places the cable tie 6 at a height position adjacent to the car 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cable tie attachment device may be one that places the cable tie 6 at a height position of the top of the elevator shaft.
