Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an appliance with cord storage legs that allows the legs of household electrical appliances to be used as cord storage legs.

Long power cords are connected to electrical appliances such as various electrical products.

Conventionally, in order to store this electrical cord, a storage space was provided inside the appliance.

However, this often resulted in drawbacks to the product, such as the overall size of the device.

In this invention, there are two plates consisting of the main body and the lid.
To provide a device with a cord storage leg, in which a storage leg capable of storing a cord is installed on the device whose free end is configured to be freely openable and closable by installing a hinge at its base end.

Next, the cord storage leg-equipped device of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

(A) Apparatus As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus A consists of two plates, a lid 1 and a main body 2, with hinges 11 installed at the base ends of both so that their free ends can be opened and closed.

An opening portion of the same shape is provided in parallel to the axis of the hinge 11 on the free end side of the lid body 1 and the main body 2 farthest from the hinge 11 to serve as a handle 3.

Then, on the surface of the lid body 1 opposite to the handle 3, there are legs 12.
is provided protruding in the direction connecting the handle 3 and the hinge 11.

The legs 12 protrude from the center of the above surface in a direction parallel to the axis of the hinge 11.

(B) Storage Legs On the other hand, on the back side of the main body 2, a pair of hinge-side storage legs 4 and a pair of handle-side storage legs 5 are protrudingly provided on the hinge 11 side and the handle 3 side, respectively.

Furthermore, the respective storage legs 4 and 5 are located at the four corners of the back surface of the main body 2.

Each storage leg 4, 5 is dimensioned so that its free end lies on the same plane.

In other words, each storage leg 4, 5 holds the appliance A, the handle 3,
The line connecting the hinges 11 is set horizontally so that it will form the foot when placed on a desk or the like.

Furthermore, on the hinge side storage leg 4, on the hinge 11 side,
The handle-side storage leg 5 is provided with a flange 6 protruding from the handle 3 side at right angles to each of the storage legs 4 and 5.

The flange 6 of the hinge side storage leg 4 is dimensioned so that its free end is located on the same plane as the free end of the leg 12 of the lid body 1.

Therefore, when the appliance A is placed in an upright state with the line connecting the handle 3 and the hinge 11 perpendicular, the flange 6 of the hinge-side storage leg 4 is attached to the appliance A along with the leg 12 protruding toward the hinge 11 side of the lid body 1. can be kept vertical.

In other words, the flange 6 of the hinge-side storage leg 5 becomes the leg on the main body 2 side when the instrument A is placed upright on a desk or the like.

Next, a method of using the cord storage leg-equipped device of the present invention will be explained.

(a) Cord storage Flanges 6 are installed on the hinge-side storage leg 4 and the handle-side storage leg 5 at right angles to the respective storage legs 4 and 5 in opposite directions.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the instrument A is viewed from the side, each of the storage legs 4 and 5 having a protruding flange 6 is an L-shaped member whose backs are turned away from each other and protrudes from the back surface of the main body 2.

Therefore, the cord B is stored by being hung around the corners formed by each storage leg 4, 5 and each flange 6.

At this time, there is a certain distance between each storage leg 4 and 5, so by wrapping it multiple times, the code B
The winding is completed.

(b) How to place the appliance (Figures 1 and 2) When placing the appliance A horizontally with the lid 1 facing upward, such as when using the appliance A with the lid 1 open, use the hinge-side storage legs 4, Since the dimensions of each of the storage legs 4 and 5 are set so that the free ends of the handle-side storage legs 5 are located on the same plane, each of the storage legs 4 and 5 serves as a foot to keep the instrument A horizontal.

In this case, each of the storage legs 4 and 5 vertically protruding from the main body 2 is provided with a flange 6 in the form of a flange.

Therefore, each of the storage legs 4 and 5 has a large ground contact area, so that the appliance A can be used in a stable state.

Also, while carrying the device by the handle 3, the device may be temporarily left upright with the handle 3 facing up.

At this time, the legs 12 of the lid body 1 and the hinge side storage legs 4
Since the free ends of the flanges 6 of the lid body 1 are set to be located on the same plane, the lid 1 of the lid body 1
2 and the flange 6 of the hinge-side storage leg 4 serve as legs to keep the instrument A standing vertically.

Since the present invention is as described above, the following effects can be expected.

(b) Since the cord is stored by running it between the hinge-side storage leg and the handle-side storage leg, which are the legs used when placing the appliance horizontally, no special space is required for storing the cord.

Therefore, the entire device does not become larger than necessary.

(b) When placing the equipment horizontally, such as when using it, each storage leg that is set so that its free end is located on the same plane serves as a foot.

Since the tip of each storage leg has a flange projecting at right angles, each storage leg has a wide ground contact area and the instrument can be used in a stable state.

(c) When keeping the device upright, such as when temporarily leaving it in place while carrying it, set it so that the legs of the lid body and the free ends of the flanges of the storage legs on the hinge side are located on the same plane. Since both are provided, they can be used as the legs of the instrument.
