Description

Cable management clips

[0001] The present invention relates to a cable management clip, and more particularly, to a cable management clip that can organize cables while preventing them from being lost.

[0002] Typically, electronic products are equipped with cables such as power lines to supply power and communication lines to send and receive signals with other electronic devices, and these cables are formed to be of sufficient length to allow the electronic product to be used at a certain distance from the power terminal.

[0003] These cables can create more slack than necessary when using or storing electronic devices, and the unorganized slack can hang around the electronic devices, spoiling their appearance and causing inconvenience in traffic.

[0004] To solve this problem, cable ties, twist ties, and Velcro tapes are used to organize excess cables, but cable ties have a ratchet structure, so after using them to bundle cables, they must be cut with a cutting tool such as scissors, making them impossible to reuse. While twist ties and Velcro tapes can easily be tied or untied, they are easy to lose and have to be found whenever needed.

[0005] The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems and has the purpose of providing a cable management clip that can organize cables such as power cables, communication cables, etc., and prevent loss, thereby allowing for easy reuse.

[0006] The cable management clip of the present invention for achieving the above purpose comprises: a stopper having a receiving hole formed on the inside thereof through which a cable strand is received and an entrance formed so that the cable strand can enter and exit laterally with respect to the receiving hole; and a tying means having a string or belt shape with one end fixed to the stopper, capable of tying a bundle of cables.

[0007] In addition, a detachment prevention means may be further included to prevent the cable strands accommodated inside the accommodation hole from falling out through the entrance.

[0008] In addition, the above-mentioned anti-separation means is configured as a hook that is connected to a point adjacent to the receiving hole in a hook shape, so that the hook can prevent the cable strands from separating when rotating to wrap around the cable strands received inside the receiving hole.

[0009] In addition, the above-described detachment prevention means is composed of a detachment prevention ring in the form of a ring that wraps around a cable strand received inside the receiving hole and has one open point, wherein the stopper has a fixing pin protruding adjacent to the receiving hole, and the detachment prevention ring has a moving hole formed inside in the shape of an arc into which a fixing pin is inserted, so that the ring can rotate along the moving hole with the fixing pin as the center.

[0010] In addition, the above-mentioned anti-separation means is a catch portion that protrudes toward the inside of the receiving hole, and the catch portion can elastically pressurize the cable strand received inside the receiving hole.

[0011] According to the present invention, a bundle of cables, such as power cables and communication cables, can be organized by bundling the excess cable portions into a bundle of folded cables using a bundling means, and the cable strands are accommodated inside the receiving holes of the stopper, so that even when the bundle of cables is not bundled using the bundling means, the loss of the cable management clip can be prevented, and it can be easily reused.

[0012] In addition, the cable strand can be prevented from coming out of the receiving hole through the detachment prevention means, thereby effectively preventing the cable strand from coming out of the stopper due to carelessness, etc.

[0023] The present invention proposes a cable management clip characterized by including: a stopper having a receiving hole formed on the inside thereof through which a cable strand passes, and an entrance formed so that the cable strand can enter and exit laterally with respect to the receiving hole, so as to organize cables such as power cables, communication cables, etc., and prevent loss thereof, and so as to enable easy reuse; and a bundling means having a string or belt shape with one end fixed to the stopper, and capable of bundling a bundle of cables.

[0024] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and various modifications may be made by a person having ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0025] Hereinafter, the cable management clip of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the attached drawings 1 to 10.

[0026]

[0027] The cable management clip of the present invention is for organizing various cables such as power cables, communication cables, etc., and the cables of the present invention may be connected to an electronic product, or may be separated from the electronic product. In addition, the cable strands (10) and the cable bundle (20) mentioned below may be formed as one unit to constitute a single cable, or may be formed as separate cables, and the cable bundle (20) means a state in which the cable strands (10) forming an integral unit or the cable strands (10) forming a separate cable are folded or rolled.

[0028] The present invention includes a stopper (100) fitted to a cable strand (10) as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, and a bundling means (200) capable of bundling a cable bundle (20).

[0029] The stopper (100) is formed with an accommodation hole (110) formed on the inside thereof to accommodate a cable strand (10) through which the cable strand (10) can pass, and an entrance (120) formed to allow the cable strand (10) to enter and exit the accommodation hole (110). The accommodation hole (110) may be formed to have a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the cable strand (10) or slightly larger than the diameter of the cable strand (10), and it is preferable that the entrance (120) be formed so that the cable strand (10) can enter and exit laterally with respect to the accommodation hole (110), while a section can be forcibly inserted when the cable strand (10) is inserted toward the accommodation hole (110).

[0030] For example, the inlet (120) may be formed so that the receiving hole (110) communicates with the outside, and may be formed to become narrower from the outer edge of the stopper (100) toward the receiving hole (110) so that a section may be forcibly inserted when the cable strand (10) enters and exits. That is, the portion of the inlet (120) adjacent to the outside may be formed to have a width corresponding to the diameter of the cable strand (10) or slightly larger than the diameter of the cable strand (10), and the portion of the inlet (120) adjacent to the receiving hole (110) may be formed to have a width smaller than the diameter of the cable strand (10).

[0031] This stopper (100) is made of a synthetic resin material such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), and can be configured to be slightly deformed when force is applied, but can also be restored to its original state. As a result, even if the cable strand (10) passes through the inlet (120) portion having a width smaller than the diameter of the cable strand (10), it can be restored to its original state, so that the cable strand (10) accommodated in the accommodation hole (110) does not easily fall out.

[0032] The stopper (100) having a receiving hole (110) and an inlet (120) formed therein can be formed in various shapes, and as a first embodiment, it can be formed in a plate shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, and as a second embodiment, it can be formed in a shape identical to / similar to a ring shape in which an inlet (120) is formed laterally as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10.

[0033] Specifically, the stopper (100) according to the first embodiment is formed in a rectangular plate shape as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, and an accommodation hole (110) is formed at a point close to one end, and an inlet (120) may be formed from one end to the accommodation hole (110). The stopper (100) according to the second embodiment may be formed in a ring shape that is opened to a width smaller than the diameter of the cable strand (10) to be accommodated on the inside as illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 10, and an inlet (120) that gradually widens from the open point toward the outside to form a width corresponding at least to the diameter of the cable strand (10) may be protruded, and a joining portion may be formed protruding toward the outside on the opposite side of the inlet (120).

[0034] The bundling means (200) is in the form of a string or belt having a predetermined length, and one end is fixed to the stopper (100). The bundling means (200) may be a twist tie or a Velcro tape, but is not necessarily limited thereto. However, the drawing illustrates that the bundling means is a twist tie. When the bundling means (200) is composed of a twist tie, the twist tie may be made of various materials, but it is preferable that the twist tie be made of a material that can be freely deformed by a force applied by a user and can maintain a deformed state. In the stopper (100) according to the first embodiment, one end of the bundling means (200) may be fixed to the other end located opposite the one end where the entrance (120) is formed, and in the stopper (100) according to the second embodiment, one end of the bundling means (200) may be fixed to the joint. These bundling means (200) serve to prevent the cable strands (10) from being folded or untied by bundling the rolled cable bundle (20).

[0035] That is, the present invention can organize a cable bundle (20) by bundling it with a bundling means (200) as illustrated in FIG. 2, and can fix the cable bundle (20) to a certain position by inserting a cable strand (10) that is integral with or separate from the cable bundle (20) bundled with the bundling means (200) into the inside of the receiving hole (110) of the stopper (100). In addition, even when the cable bundle (20) is not bundled using the bundling means (200), the cable strand (10) is accommodated inside the receiving hole (110), so that the loss of the cable management clip of the present invention can be effectively prevented, and it can be easily reused.

[0036] Meanwhile, the present invention may further include a separation prevention means (300) to prevent the cable strand (10) accommodated inside the accommodation hole (110) from escaping through the inlet (120). The separation prevention means (300) may be configured to block the cable strand (10) accommodated in the accommodation hole (110) from moving toward the inlet (120), and may be formed to have various structures in consideration of the shape of the stopper (100).

[0037] For example, the detachment prevention means (300) may be configured as a hook (310) that is axially coupled at a point adjacent to the receiving hole (110) in a hook shape as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. The hook (310) may be rotatably coupled at a point opposite to the receiving hole (110) where the inlet (120) is formed. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the hook (310) rotates in one direction so as not to block the entry of the cable strand (10) through the inlet (120), and when the cable strand (10) is received inside the receiving hole (110), it rotates in the other direction to wrap around the cable strand (10) received inside the receiving hole (110), thereby preventing the cable strand (10) from being detached. The hook (310), which is the above-described detachment prevention means (300), is shown as being applied to the stopper (100) according to the first embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0038] As another example, the detachment prevention means (300) may be configured as a detachment prevention ring (320) in the form of a ring with one point open, which wraps around a cable strand (10) accommodated inside a receiving hole (110), as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. At this time, the stopper (100) may have a fixing pin (130) protrudingly formed adjacent to the receiving hole (110), and specifically, the fixing pin (130) may be formed at an opposite point where the entrance (120) is formed based on the receiving hole (110). In addition, the detachment prevention ring (320) is formed with a moving hole (321) in the shape of an arc, into which the fixing pin (130) is fitted on the inside. The moving hole (321) can be formed in an arc shape that surrounds a part of the receiving hole (110) from the outside while having the same curvature as the anti-separation ring (320), and when the fixing pin (130) is fitted inside the moving hole (321), the anti-separation ring (320) can be combined with the stopper (100) and can rotate along the moving hole (321) with the fixing pin (130) as the center.

[0039] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 6, when the anti-separation ring (320) is rotated so that the open point of the anti-separation ring (320) and the inlet (120) are aligned, the cable strand (10) can enter through the inlet (120) and be accommodated inside the receiving hole (110). When the cable strand (10) is accommodated inside the receiving hole (110), the anti-separation ring (320) is rotated along the moving hole (321) around the fixing pin (130) so that the open point of the anti-separation ring (320) and the inlet (120) are misaligned, thereby preventing the cable strand (10) from being detached. The anti-separation ring (320), which is the anti-separation means (300) described above, is illustrated as being applied to the stopper (100) according to the first embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0040] As another example, the detachment prevention means (300) may be formed as a catch (330) that protrudes toward the inside of the receiving hole (110) as illustrated in FIGS. 8 to 10. For example, the catch (330) may protrude from a point adjacent to the entrance (120) toward the center of the receiving hole (110) by a length corresponding to the radius of the receiving hole (130). In this case, the receiving hole (130) is preferably formed to be larger than the diameter of the cable strand (10). In addition, the catch (330) is preferably formed of an elastic material so that it can be restored to its original state after being deformed.

[0041] Accordingly, when the cable strand (10) is pushed into the receiving hole (110) through the inlet (120) as illustrated in FIG. 8, the cable strand (10) is elastically pressed by the catch (330) inside the receiving hole (110) as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, thereby preventing it from coming off. The catch (330), which is the aforementioned separation prevention means (300), is illustrated as being applied to the stopper (100) according to the second embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] In this way, the present invention can prevent the cable strand (10) from coming out of the receiving hole (110) through the separation prevention means (300), thereby effectively preventing the cable strand (10) from coming out of the stopper (100) due to carelessness, etc.
