Description

Recogedor de cable.Cable Picker

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo recogedor de cable, que ha sido especialmente concebido para ser utilizado en cualquier aparato alimentado eléctricamente, con la finalidad de acortar físicamente el cable de alimentación de dicho aparato, al objeto de evitar que el amplio segmento habitualmente sobrante del mismo se distribuya aleatoria e irregularmente, normalmente de forma indebida.The present invention relates to a device cable picker, which has been specially designed to be used in any electrically powered device, with the purpose of physically shortening the power cable of said apparatus, in order to avoid that the wide segment usually leftover from it is distributed randomly and irregularly, normally improperly.

Background of the invention

En aparatos eléctricos tales como televisores, equipos de audio o vídeo, lámparas, etc, participa un cable de alimentación eléctrica, rematado en la correspondiente clavija de conexión, cable que en la mayoría de las ocasiones resulta notablemente sobredimensionado con respecto a las necesidades específicas al respecto, es decir que el citado cable de alimentación eléctrica es considerablemente más largo que el distanciamiento existente entre el aparato y la base de enchufe de la que toma corriente.In electrical appliances such as televisions, audio or video equipment, lamps, etc., a cable from power supply, topped on the corresponding plug connection, cable that in most cases is remarkably oversized with respect to needs specific in this regard, that is to say the said cable power supply is considerably longer than the distance between the device and the power socket The one that takes power.

Esto trae consigo que el cable adopte una trayectoria caprichosa e irregular, totalmente antiestética, arrastrándose por el suelo la mayor parte de las ocasiones, con el consecuente ensuciamiento del mismo, constituyendo un obstáculo que dificulta las tareas de limpieza y sobre el que existe un riesgo de enganchamiento, problema que se acentúa de forma muy considerable cuando son varios los aparatos que confluyen en una misma base de enchufe y, consecuentemente, son también varios los cables que se encuentran en esta situación descontrolada.This brings the cable to adopt a capricious and irregular trajectory, totally unsightly, crawling on the ground most of the time, with the consequent fouling thereof, constituting an obstacle that hinders cleaning tasks and over which there is a risk of hooking, problem that is accentuated in a very considerable way when there are several devices that converge on the same base of plug and, consequently, there are also several cables that are They find themselves in this uncontrolled situation.

Hasta la fecha no existen soluciones más que artesanales a este problema, de manera que en el mejor de los casos es el propio usuario quien tiene que ingeniarse algún método al respecto, como por ejemplo enrollar el cable sobre sí mismo hasta su adecuado acortamiento y fijar el arrollamiento mediante una cuerda, una goma u otro elemento similar, solución que evidentemente deja mucho que desear.To date there are no solutions other than craft to this problem, so that at best It is the user himself who has to devise some method to respect, such as winding the cable over itself until proper shortening and fix the winding by rope, a rubber or other similar element, solution that obviously leaves much to be desired.

Description of the invention

El recogedor de cable que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo adaptar la longitud efectiva de un cable de alimentación eléctrica y un aparato, a las exigencias específicas de cada caso práctico, es decir al distanciamiento entre el aparato que alimenta dicho cable y la base de enchufe de la que toma la corriente, con un óptimo acabado estético para el conjunto.The cable picker that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, allowing to adapt the effective length of a power supply cable and an appliance, to the requirements specific to each case study, that is, the distance between the apparatus that feeds said cable and the plug base of the one that takes the current, with an optimal aesthetic finish for the set.

Para ello y de forma más concreta, dicho recogedor se materializa en una especie de carrete a base de dos piezas a modo de cazoletas coaxiales, con un núcleo central sobre el que es enrollable el cable, piezas o cazoletas que son susceptibles de adoptar dos posiciones estables, una de separación en la que configuran un carrete propiamente dicho, que permite el arrollamiento del cable, y otra de cierre en la que una cazoleta se adapta a la otra por su embocadura, reteniendo el arrollamiento de cable al exterior y permitiendo tan sólo la salida de los dos extremos del mismo, a través de ligeros rehundidos complementarios existentes en sus embocaduras.To do this and more specifically, said picker materializes in a kind of reel based on two pieces like coaxial cups, with a central core on which is the cable, parts or cups that are roller capable of adopting two stable positions, one of separation in which they configure a reel proper, which allows the winding of the cable, and another one of closing in which a bowl is adapts to the other by its mouth, retaining the winding of cable to the outside and allowing only the exit of the two ends thereof, through light complementary recesses existing in their mouths.

De forma más concreta, las citadas cazoletas constitutivas del carrete están provistas de sendos cuellos coaxiales que se interacoplan telescópicamente, contando uno de ellos con una ventana preferentemente rectangular y el otro con una pareja de arpones enclavables en dicha ventana, con la particularidad de que tales arpones presentan un perfil escalonado que determina dos posiciones de enclavamiento con respecto a los bordes de la citada ventana, concretamente las dos posiciones de apertura y cierre para el carrete, anteriormente citadas.More specifically, the aforementioned cups constitutive of the reel are provided with two necks coaxial that are telescopically interconnected, counting one of them with a preferably rectangular window and the other with a couple of harpoons locked in said window, with the particularity that such harpoons have a stepped profile which determines two interlocking positions with respect to edges of said window, specifically the two positions of opening and closing for the reel, mentioned above.

Las dos piezas integrantes del recogedor se obtienen a base de material plástico en un proceso de moldeo por inyección, de manera que su costo es relativamente bajo, y su definitivo montaje se realiza mediante simple acoplamiento a presión a través de sus cuellos axiales, en una maniobra extraordinariamente rápida y sencilla, que incluso puede ser realizada por el propio usuario cuando adquiere el recogedor.The two integral parts of the collector are they get based on plastic material in a molding process by injection, so that its cost is relatively low, and its definitive assembly is done by simple coupling to pressure through its axial necks, in a maneuver extraordinarily fast and simple, which can even be made by the user himself when he acquires the picker.

Desde el punto de vista de utilización, basta con abrir el carrete hasta la situación límite definida por sus arpones, enrollar sobre su cuello telescópico el trozo de cable sobrante, apoyando el extremo fijo del mismo sobre una pareja de rehundidos de la embocadura de las cazoletas, y acoplando finalmente el otro extremo del cable en la pareja de rehundidos. contrapuestos, de manera que al cerrar finalmente el carrete el arrollamiento de cable queda retenido en su interior y perfectamente estabilizado, sobresaliendo de dicho carrete exclusivamente el tramo de cable necesario para llegar a la base de enchufe, con el cable exterior al carrete debidamente tensado o con cualquier trayectoria que se estime conveniente.From the point of view of use, just open the spool to the limit situation defined by its harpoons, wind the piece of cable over its telescopic neck leftover, supporting the fixed end of it on a pair of recessed from the mouth of the cups, and coupling finally the other end of the cable in the pair of recesses. opposed, so that when you finally close the reel the cable winding is retained inside and perfectly stabilized, protruding from said reel exclusively the section of cable necessary to reach the base of plug, with the outer cable to the reel properly tensioned or with Any trajectory deemed convenient.
