[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application) This invention is a method of winding a telephone cord or an electric appliance power cord, etc., at the middle part to shorten it to the required length when it is too long. Concerning a cord winder for keeping the cord on.

(Prior Art) Conventional cord winders of this type are built into electrical appliances themselves. For example, in the case of a vacuum cleaner, the cord is pulled out when in use.
When not in use, it is configured to be wound up via a roll or the like that rotates based on the repulsive force of a spring and stored in the device.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) There are very few cord winders that are integrated into electrical appliances as described above.
Most of them do not have this function, so excess cords can become a nuisance, and in households with young children, they may trip over the cords and knock over the equipment.
This inevitably led to problems such as falling and getting injured.

The present invention is configured so that surplus cords can be wound up in an orderly manner by being attached to the cords of existing electrical appliances or telephones, thereby solving the problems of the conventional methods as described above. It is characterized by:

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a disk-shaped cord winding container A that is rotatably mated with a right half container 1 and a left half container 2 in a slidable manner. Cord insertion hole forming slots 1b and 2b for inserting the cord at the time of mating are provided at required locations on the mating peripheral end surfaces of both half container bodies 1 and 2, and main holes 1b and 2b are provided at both ends. A cord winding shaft 6 having a rotary disk 5 and a slave rotary disk 8 fixed thereon is rotatably housed in the center of the container body A with both the rotary disks 5 and 8 positioned on the outside. Furthermore, in the central part of the shaft body 6, cut grooves 7a for cord hooking are formed at required locations, and the container body A
A cord winding device characterized in that a cord winding disk 7 for partitioning the inside into left and right sides is integrally provided, and a handle piece 5a for rotating operation is integrally formed in the center of the outer surface of the main rotary disk 5. This is related to the removal device.

(Function) When using the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. The cut groove 7a in the board 7 is positioned at the corresponding portion of the matching slots 1b and 2b (as shown in FIG. 2).

Such operations include the relative rotation of both half-container bodies 1 and 2, and the cord winding disk via the main rotary disk 5 and the cord winding shaft 6 using the operating handle piece 5a. This is done based on the rotation of 7.

In the above state, as shown in Fig. 8, the excess portion of the cord B for telephone or electric appliance power source is folded back in the middle, and the loop-shaped portion based on the fold is inserted into the matching insertion hole. When inserted into the container body A through the forming grooves 1b and 2b, and rotate the operating handle piece 5a in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. direction, and its cut groove 7a
However, the loop-shaped tip of the cord B is hooked on and a winding action is performed to wind it around the shaft body 6.

At this time, since the inside of the container body A is partitioned in the left-right direction by the cord winding board 7, the cord B in the folded state is separated and wound on the corresponding sides.

After winding the excess portion of cord B based on the above operations, as shown in FIG. 10, by rotating the right half container body 1 approximately 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow shown in the same figure, If the insertion hole forming slot 1a of the right half container body 1 is rotated so as to be positioned on the opposite side of the insertion hole forming slot 2a of the left half container body 2, the code B will change in appearance. In other words, the excess portion is rolled up and housed in the container body A, and the cord B has an appearance as if it had been shortened to the required length.

In addition, when pulling out the cord B, based on the above-mentioned reverse operation, align the insertion hole forming slot 1a of the right half container body 1 with the insertion hole forming groove 2a of the left half container body 2. After that, if the cord B is pulled, the withdrawal operation of the cord B is permitted.

(Example) An example of the configuration of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail as follows.
