Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an improvement of a clipping tool for setting cables of high-precision electrical equipment such as telephones and computers into modular plugs.

[Prior Art] FIG. 2 shows the appearance and overall configuration of a clipping tool that is currently widely used for telefonline connections.

In the figure, 10 is a setting part for setting a modular plug (not shown);
1 is a presser plunger which, after being set in the setting part 10, presses the modular plug in the horizontal direction to fix it in the setting part.
14 is a conductor contacting portion (not shown) of the modular plug by pressing the modular plug simultaneously with the pressing and fixing operation of the presser plunger 12.
This is a clipping portion that establishes conduction between the cable (not shown) and the cable (not shown) disposed within the modular plug. 16 is an auxiliary part for pushing the presser plunger 12 and clipping part 14 from behind; 18 is a handle for opening and closing the tool; 20
22 is a cutter blade for centering the cable; 24 is a cutter receiving portion for receiving the cutter blade 22;

FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the setting section 10 and the modular plug 26. In the figure, 26 is the main body of the modular plug, 28 is a 4-core cable arranged inside the modular plug 26, 30 is the core of the cable, and 32 is pressed against the cable core 30 by being pushed backward by the clipping part 14. This is a conductor contact portion that forms a conductive state.

In the clipping tool configured as described above, the cable 28 is provided in the setting section 10.
The modular plug 26 and the cable 28 are clipped by setting the modular plug 26 in which the cable 28 is arranged and grasping the handle 20.

Conventionally, the structure of the setting section 10 of the clipping tool described above was determined by the structure of the modular plug 26 and cable 28 to be set.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Therefore, in the conventional technology as described above, when performing wiring work, it is necessary to prepare several types of clipping tools depending on the size of the modular plug 26. Ta. For example, in the case of telefonline, 6 poles - 2 cores, 6 poles - 4 cores, 4
Cables with 4 poles and 2 cores are used relatively often, and 6 pole plugs are generally larger than 4 pole plugs, so at least two types of clipping tools are required during wiring work. It was hot.

Therefore, despite clipping modular plugs that have almost the same shape,
There were problems in that various tools had to be replaced frequently, resulting in poor work efficiency and an unnecessarily high cost for the entire tool.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and aims to provide a modular clipping tool that can improve work efficiency and reduce the overall cost of the tool used.

[Means for solving the problem] The modular clipping tool according to this invention is capable of handling both a first modular plug with a relatively large outer circumference and a second modular plug with a relatively small outer circumference. In order to do so, the adapter includes an adapter means having an outer circumferential portion having the same shape as at least the first modular plug that fits into the setting portion and an inner circumferential shape that is formed to fit with the second modular plug; The above-mentioned problem can be solved by forming the outer peripheral part of the adapter means and the inner peripheral part of the setting part into shapes that fit relatively to each other, and by forming the adapter means to be attachable to and detachable from the inside of the setting part. It is resolved.

[Function] In this invention, since the adapter means is provided and the shapes of the adapter means and the setting portion are formed so as to fit relatively, 1.
One tool can accommodate modular plugs of different sizes (shapes) when the adapter means is used and when it is not used. This makes it possible to improve work efficiency and reduce the overall cost of the tools used.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows, in an enlarged view, the structure of a setting section and the like of a modular plug according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 34 is a setting part, and the inner peripheral part is shaped to match a six-pole type modular plug.

36 moves in the direction of the arrow to set the setting part 3.
This is an adapter that changes the shape of the inner circumferential surface of the setting part 34 by being disposed and fitted into the setting part 4, and the upper end part 36a is formed in an inverted U shape for easy removal. In addition, the adapter 36
The shape of the outer peripheral surface matches the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the setting portion 34, that is, the shape of a six-pole type modular plug, and the shape of the inner peripheral surface matches the shape of a four-pole type modular plug.

To be more specific, when this adapter 36 is fitted into the setting part 34, the setting part 3
34b side, which is one step lower than the surface of 4, and adapter 3
The protruding portion 36c of the adapter 36 and the notch portion 34c of the setting portion 34 are brought into contact with each other. Thereby, by removing the adapter 36, the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the setting portion 34 can be adapted to both a 6-pole type modular plug and a 4-pole type modular plug.

Further, the clipping operation after setting the modular plug in the setting section 34, ie, the method of using the clipping tool itself, is the same as that of the prior art described above.

In the above embodiment, when the adapter 36 is not used, it is compatible with a 6-pole modular plug, and when the adapter 36 is used, it is compatible with a 4-pole modular plug, so one tool can clip at least two types of plugs, making it possible to clip at least two types of plugs. This has the effect of improving the work efficiency of online wiring work and reducing the overall cost of the tools used.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the adapter 36 can be modified in various ways to perform the same function according to the inner structure of the setting portion 34 and the shape of the modular plug.

Moreover, if the adapter 36 is structured so that it can be stored in a part of the clipping tool body, the tool can be easily carried and the work can be done more quickly.

Furthermore, when the adapter 36 of the present invention is combined with an adjustable jack, plug connection can be made in a simpler manner than with adapters for adjustable jacks that are currently in use.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, this invention has the effect of improving work efficiency and reducing the overall cost of the tools used.
