【発明の属する技術分野】
本願発明は、コードリール等の装置に使用されるゼンマイバネの改良に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、弾性を有する長尺状の鋼板を、先端側から順次後端側にかけて巻回成形し、鋼板の前端側を最径内側に、後端側を最径外側に夫々配した渦巻き状を呈するゼンマイバネは広く知られており、例えば電気コードの引き出し巻き込みを行うコードリールに使用されている。コードリールに使用される場合、ゼンマイバネを所定径の渦巻き状にした状態で、図10、図11に示すようにコードリールのケースkのバネ収納部k1内に収納されるが、その際、ゼンマイバネの巻き弾性作用により拡張しようとするため、収納作業が困難である。そのため、従来、ゼンマイバネをケースのバネ収納部の径よりやや小さい径に係止させておく手段が採られている。この従来における係止手段は、図9(B) に示すように、ゼンマイバネdの後端側に、ゼンマイバネdを構成した鋼板を所定の長さ及び幅で穿設した係止用孔aを設けるとともに、その係止用孔aの後方位置に、鋼板の一部を径外方向に切り起こした係止爪bを設け、図9(A) に示すように渦巻き状を呈する状態から巻き弾性により拡張させれば、その渦巻き状を呈する状態で係止爪bが係止用孔aに自然に入り込んで係止させることができ、このようにして、ゼンマイバネdをケースkのバネ収納部k1の径よりやや小さい径に係止させておくようにしたものである。そして、図9に示すように、係止爪bと係止用孔aとを係止させた状態から、ケースkに設けた固定軸k3に、ゼンマイバネdの先端eを取付けるとともに、ゼンマイバネの後端fを、ケースk内に回転自在に設けた回転胴k4に係止するようにしてセットし、その後、回転胴k4を、ゼンマイバネdを巻き締める方向(図示のX方向)に2〜3回転させて、所謂ゼンマイバネの予巻き行う。この予巻きにより、ゼンマイバネが巻き締められて係止爪bが係止用孔aから外れ、そして、この予巻きした状態を、コードk2をケースk内に完全に巻き込み終えた状態とする。これにより、巻き込んだコードk2をケースk2外に引き出せばそれに伴ってゼンマイバネdが巻き締められて巻き弾性を増し、コードk2を離せばゼンマイバネの巻き弾性によってコードk2が巻き込まれ、上記のゼンマイバネdの予巻き状態で引き出したコードk2を巻き込み終えることができる。尚、コードリールについては更に後述する。
しかしながら、長さの長いコードk2に使用する場合には、ゼンマイバネdも長さの長いものを使用して巻き回数を多くしたものが必要となるが、ゼンマイバネdの巻き回数が多くなると、ゼンマイバネの予巻きを行ってもゼンマイバネの径外側の部分は巻き締められず、その結果、係止爪bが係止用孔aから外れずに、コードk2を所定長さだけ引き出した状態で係止爪bが係止用孔aから外れる。従って、このような場合は、コードk2の引き出し巻き込みに伴って、係止爪bが係止用孔aから出たり入ったりし、使用に際して係止爪bが係止用孔aに入り込む際の衝撃力を繰り返して受ける。その結果、使用中に係止爪bが折損してしまったり、或いは、図9(B) に示すように係止爪bの基端部から亀裂gが発生して複数回の使用によって鋼板が係止爪bを設けた部分から破断してしまうという課題がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本願発明は、以上の実情に鑑み提案されたもので、ゼンマイバネの巻き回数が多い場合でも、使用中に係止爪が折損してしまったり、或いは、係止爪を設けた部分から破断してしまうことのないゼンマイバネの提供を第1の目的とする。
【0004】
本願発明は、ゼンマイバネの巻き回数が多い場合でも、使用中に係止爪が折損してしまったり、或いは、係止爪を設けた部分から破断してしまうことのないものであって、容易に、且つ低コストで製作し得るゼンマイバネの提供を第2の目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
長尺状の鋼板2を、前端側から順次後端側にかけて巻回成形し、鋼板2の前端側を最径内側に、後端側を最径外側に夫々配して渦巻き状としたゼンマイバネにおいて本願発明は、以下の特徴を有するものを提供することにより、上記課題を解決する。本願第1の発明は、ゼンマイバネを構成する鋼板2の後端側には、係止爪3と、この係止爪3を鋼板2から切り起して形成することによって生じた切り起こし孔31と、係止用孔4と、弱部9とが、長手方向に沿って夫々備えられる。係止用孔4は、係止爪3の後方位置に配位されることにより、渦巻き状に巻回された状態で、係止爪3と係止用孔4とが係脱自在に係止し得るようになされる。弱部9は、係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の曲げ強度よりも鋼板2の曲げ強度を弱くしたものである。そして、この弱部9が、係止爪3の前方位置に配位されたものである。
【0006】
本願第2の発明は、弱部9が、鋼板2の一部を取り除いて形成した穿設部91を備えたものである。
【0007】
以上のように構成された本願第1の発明においては、係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の曲げ強度よりも鋼板2の曲げ強度を弱くした弱部9を、係止爪3の前方位置に配位させる。こうすることにより、例えばゼンマイバネ1が長くて予巻きをした状態では係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込み、コードリール5の使用中に係止爪3が係止用孔4に係脱するおそれのある場合でも、コードリール5に装着後、ゼンマイバネ1を巻き締めて係止爪3が係止用孔4から外れると、図6に示すようにゼンマイバネ1を構成した鋼板2には曲げ力が作用し、鋼板2における係止用孔4及び弱部9の部分が、曲げ力に対する強度が弱くなっているため、折り曲げられる。又、鋼板2における係止爪3を切り起こした部分も、鋼板2の断面積が小さくなっているが、係止爪3の部分が弱部9に接近しているため、弱部9に力が集中して係止爪3の部分は殆ど折り曲げられずに弱部9の部分がくの字状に折り曲げられ、その結果、鋼板2における係止用孔4及び弱部9の部分がくの字状に折り曲げられて径外方向に突出した状態になる。そして、この状態から、巻き弾性によりゼンマイバネ1が径大に拡張すると、係止用孔4及び弱部9の部分がくの字状に折り曲げられているため、係止爪3と、係止爪3の外側に配位された鋼板との間に空間21ができ、ゼンマイバネ1の拡張に際し、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込まずに通過する。従って、使用中に、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込む際の衝撃力によって係止爪3が折れたり、係止爪3の基端部にクラックが発生するようなことを防止できる。
【0008】
本願第2の発明においては、弱部9を、鋼板2の一部を取り除いて形成した穿設部91を備えたものとする。こうすることにより、鋼板2の縦断面積を小さくでき、曲げ強度を弱くできる。又、その際、穿設部91の寸法設定により、鋼板2の縦断面積を容易に確実に決定でき、使用中に破断しない程度の強度を保持しながら係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の曲げ強度よりも弱くできる。一方、製作にあたっては、係止爪3及び係止用孔4をプレス加工する際に、穿設部91をも一体的に同時加工でき、従来のものに比して加工工程を増やすことなく行うことができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図を基に本願発明の一実施形態を具体的に説明する。
図1は、本願発明の一実施形態のゼンマイバネを巻回して係止した状態の斜視図、図2は、本願発明の一実施形態のゼンマイバネの後端側の要部拡大斜視図である。
【0010】
本実施形態のゼンマイバネ1は、電気コード等のコードの引き出し巻き込みを行うコードリール用ゼンマイバネとされており、図1に示すように弾性を有する長尺状の鋼板2を、前端側から順次後端側にかけて巻回成形することにより、鋼板2の前端側を最径内側に、後端側を最径外側に夫々配して鋼板2の幅方向の両端を略揃えた渦巻き状を呈している。
【0011】
このゼンマイバネ1を構成する鋼板2は、本実施形態では、幅が8mm程度、長さ4000mm程度のものが使用されており、前端側には、取付け片1aが備えられている。この取付け片1aは、後述するコードリール5におけるケース6に取り付けるためのもので、鋼板2の前端を所定長さで折り曲げ成形することにより形成されている。
【0012】
鋼板2の後端側には、引っ掛け片1bと、引っ掛け片1bから長手方向の前端方向に所定距離だけ隔てた位置に配位された係止爪3と、引っ掛け片1bと係止爪3との間に配位された係止用孔4と、係止爪3の前方位置に配位された弱部9とが備えられている。引っ掛け片1bは、後述のコードリール5における下回転胴72に引っ掛るためのもので、鋼板2の後端を所定長さで径外側に略U字状に折り曲げ成形することにより形成されている。
【0013】
係止爪3と係止用孔4とは、ゼンマイバネ1を所定径の渦巻き状を呈する状態で係止しておくための係止手段をなすもので、係止爪3は、鋼板2の一部を所定の幅及び長さで径外側に切り起こすことにより形成されている。本実施形態では、係止爪3は、鋼板2の幅方向の中央部を1.4mm程度の幅で切り起こしている。従って、係止爪3を切り起こした後の鋼板2は、係止爪3の幅及び長さの大きさの切り起こし孔31が穿設されている。一方、係止用孔4は、鋼板2の幅方向の中央部を、2.2mm程度の幅で、係止爪3の長さより長く穿設されており、図1に示すように鋼板2を前端側から順次後端側にかけて渦巻き状に巻回して鋼板2の幅方向の上下両端側を略揃えた渦巻き状の状態で、係止爪3が係止用孔4に出入り自在に入り込み、両者が係止できるようになされている。
【0014】
弱部9は、鋼板2の曲げ強度を、係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の曲げ強度よりも弱くした部分で、鋼板2の一部を取り除いて形成した穿設部91を備えている。本実施形態では、穿設部91を、係止爪3から長手方向に沿って2.5mm程度だけ隔てた前方位置に、鋼板2の幅方向の中央部を幅2.2mm程度、長さ6mm程度の穿設した穿設孔91から構成している。
【0015】
これらの係止爪3と、係止用孔4と、穿設孔91とは、金型によって一体的に同時に打ち抜き加工されている。鋼板2の曲げ強度を弱くする手段としては、上記本願発明のように鋼板2の一部を取り除いた穿設部91を形成することにより鋼板2の縦断面積を小さくする方法以外の他の方法も考えられるが、穿設部91を採用することにより、上記のように係止爪3と係止用孔4と穿設孔91とを金型によって一体的に同時に打ち抜き加工でき、係止爪3と係止用孔4とを有する従来のゼンマイバネに比し、工程を増やすことなく同じ工程で加工でき、コスト高になるのを防止できる。しかも、穿設部91の寸法設定により、鋼板2の縦断面積を容易に確実に決定でき、使用中に破断しない程度の強度を保持しながら係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の曲げ強度よりも弱くできる。
【0016】
以上のように構成したゼンマイバネ1は、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込んで所定径の渦巻き状を呈する状態からコードリール5に装着されるが、この装着の説明に先立ってコードリール5について、図3に基づき簡単に説明する。
【0017】
このコードリール5は、従来から使用されているものと同構成を採るもので、図3に示すように所定厚さの円盤状をなすケース6を備えている。又、このケース6の内部には、回転自在な円板状の上回転胴71と、この上回転胴71と一体に形成された下回転胴72とが備えられており、2つの回転胴71、72によって、ケース6内が上、中、下の3つの空間部61、62、63に区画されている。上空間部61は、第2巻回部61をなし、常時第2巻回部に配位されてケース6外に引き出されることのない部分のコード10を収納する。中空間部62は、第1巻回部62をなし、ケース6外に引き出される部分のコード10を収納する。下空間部63は、下回転胴72の下面から下方に円形状に突設された区画壁72aによって更に、径外側のレバー収納部64と、径内側のゼンマイバネ収納部65とに区画されている。レバー収納部64は、後端側を下回転胴72に回動自在に接続されたストップレバー8が収納され、下回転胴72の回動に伴って、ストップレバー8の前端がケース6の内下面に形成された案内溝(図示せず)を摺動することによって、ケース6から所定長さだけ引き出した第1巻回部62のコード10をその状態で係止し得るようになされている。一方、ゼンマイバネ収納部65は、図5に示すようにゼンマイバネ1の取付け片1aを取り付けるための取付け用溝66aと、ゼンマイバネ1の引っ掛け片1bを引っ掛けるための引っ掛け部67とを備えている。取付け用溝66aは、ケース6の中心部に設けられた固定軸66に、取付け片1aを嵌挿可能な溝を形成することにより形成されており、引っ掛け部67は、区画壁72aの一部がなしている。
【0018】
そして、ゼンマイバネ1は、図4に示すように係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込んで所定径の渦巻き状を呈する状態からゼンマイバネ収納部65に、ゼンマイバネ1の取付け片1aが取付け用溝66aに嵌挿されることによりケース6に取り付けられ、引っ掛け片1bが引っ掛け部67に引っ掛けられることにより回転胴71、72に接続され、その状態で、収納される。そして、その後、回転胴71、72を、ゼンマイバネ1を巻き締める方向(図4のX方向)に2〜3回程度回動させて予巻きを行う。これにより、図5に示すようにゼンマイバネ1における径内側の部分が巻き締められて径が小さくなるが、ゼンマイバネ1における径外側の部分は、2〜3回程度の予巻きでは影響を受けずにそのままの状態を維持し、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込んだ状態に維持されている。
【0019】
以上のようにしてゼンマイバネ1を装着したコードリール5は、ケース6外に配位されたコード10の先端を引っぱる。これにより、回転胴71、72がゼンマイバネ1を巻き締める方向(図5のX方向)に回動し、回転胴71、72に沿って巻かれたケース6内のコード10をケース6外に引き出すことができる。コード10を引き出した後は、手を放せばストップレバー8の作用により回転胴71、72が停止し、その状態を維持することができる。又、コード10を所定長さだけ引っ張た時点で、図6に示すようにゼンマイバネ1の径外側の部分も巻き締められて係止爪3が係止用孔4から外れる。係止爪3が係止用孔4から外れると、図6に示すようにゼンマイバネ1を構成した鋼板2には常時曲げ力が作用し、鋼板2における係止用孔4及び穿設孔9の部分が、係止用孔4、穿設孔91各々によって鋼板2の断面積が小さくなって曲げ力に対する強度が弱くなっているため、くの字状に折り曲げられる。又、鋼板2における切り起こし孔31の部分も、鋼板2の断面積が小さくなっているが、切り起こし孔31の部分が穿設孔91に接近しているため、穿設孔91の部分に力が集中して穿設孔9の部分が折り曲げられて切り起こし孔31の部分は殆ど折り曲げられない。従って、ゼンマイバネ1は、係止爪3が係止用孔4から外れた状態、即ちコード10を引き出して使用している間に、係止用孔4及び穿設孔91の部分が徐々にくの字状に折り曲げられ、図6に示すように係止用孔4及び穿設孔91各々の部分が径外方向に突出した状態になる。
【0020】
一方、引き出したコード10を、更に僅かに引き出して手を放せばストップレバー8による回転胴71、72の停止が解かれ、巻き締められたゼンマイバネ1を巻き弾性により回転胴71、72が上記と反対方向に回転し、これに伴いケース6外に引き出されたコード10が回転胴71、72に沿って巻かれ、ケース6内に巻き込むことができる。又、ゼンマイバネ1は、図7に示すように巻き弾性により径大に拡張するが、係止用孔4及び穿設孔91の部分がくの字状に折り曲げられているため、係止爪3と、係止爪3の外側に配位された鋼板との間に空間21ができ、ゼンマイバネ1の拡張に際し、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込まずに通過する。従って、使用中に、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込む際の衝撃力によって係止爪3が折れたり、係止爪3の基端部にクラックが発生するようなことを防止できる。尚、折り曲げの量が少ない使用開始当初は、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込む場合もあるが、使用により徐々に折り曲げられて係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込めなくなる。
【0021】
次に、本願発明のゼンマイバネ1の疲労試験を行ったので、その結果を下記の表1に示す。この疲労試験は、本願発明のゼンマイバネ1として上記実施形態のもの3個を試料とし(試料NO1〜3、以下、「本願発明品」という)、これらについて、コード10を全部引き出した状態までゼンマイバネ1を巻き締め、その後、コード10を全部引き戻した状態に巻き戻すまでの工程を一回とし、これを繰り返すことにより行った。又、同時に比較例として、穿設孔91を設けていない同長さのゼンマイバネ3個(試料NO4〜6、以下、「比較例」という)について同条件で行った。尚、比較例3個(試料NO4〜6)の係止爪及び係止用孔の寸法は、本願発明品と同じにした。
【0022】
【表1】

Figure 0004074700
【0023】
この表1に示すように、比較例は、1500回〜3600回で、クラックの発生は目視で見られなかったが、全て係止爪3が破損した。これに対し、本願発明品は全て30000回以上で、係止爪3の折れや係止爪3の基端部へのクラックは見られず、ゼンマイバネ1の前端部で破断した。従って、本願発明品は、係止爪3及び係止用孔4を全く設けていないものと相違がなく、係止爪3及び係止用孔4による影響は現れなかった。
【0024】
以上のように構成したゼンマイバネ1を使用することにより、ゼンマイバネ1が長くて予巻きをした状態では係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込み、コードリール5の使用中に係止爪3が係止用孔4に係脱するおそれのある場合でも、係止爪3の折れや係止爪3の基端部へのクラックの発生を防止でき、使用中にゼンマイバネ1の機能の低下や破損することなく円滑に使用し得るものにできる。
【0025】
尚、本実施形態では、穿設部91として四角形状の穿設孔91を一つだけ設けているが、ゼンマイバネ2の一部を取り除いて縦断面積を少なくして曲げ強度を弱くする形態のものであれば良く、例えば図8(A) に示すように複数の穿設孔91…91を、鋼板2の幅方向に並設するようにして縦断面積を少なくしても良い。或いは、図8(B) に示すように上端及び下端各々の一部をカットして穿設部91、91を形成し、更には、ゼンマイバネ2の上端又は下端一部をカットすることにより穿設部91を形成して縦断面積を少なくするようにしても良い。又、穿設部91は、係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の縦断面積(図2のA−Aに沿う断面における面積)より、穿設部91の位置における鋼板2の縦断面積(図2のB−Bに沿う断面における面積)が小さくしておくようにすれば、係止爪3の位置及び穿設部91の位置の双方に同時に曲げ力がかかった場合、曲げ強度の弱い穿設部91の位置に集中応力がかかり、穿設部91の位置が曲がるため、係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の縦断面積より、穿設部91の位置における鋼板2の縦断面積が小さくしておくように穿設部91を設定しておくのが好ましい。一方、穿設部91の位置における鋼板2の縦断面積を、鋼板2の縦断面積の1/2程度以上にすると、強度面で弱くなるなるおそれが生じるので、穿設部91の位置における鋼板2の縦断面積を、鋼板2の縦断面積の1/2程度以下にしておくのが好ましい。一方、係止爪3に対する弱部9の位置は、穿設部91の部分がくの字状に折り曲げられて係止爪3と、係止爪3の外側に配位された鋼板との間に空間21ができ、ゼンマイバネ1の拡張に際し、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込まない位置であれば良く、より具体的には、係止爪3からの距離L(図2に図示)が2〜5mm程度の位置に設けておくのが好ましく、そのような位置であれば確実に空間21の形成によりゼンマイバネ1の拡張に際して係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込めないようにできる。
【0026】
又、本願発明のゼンマイバネ1を使用するコードリールは、上記形態のものに限らず、従来から使用されているものに使用できる。又、本願発明のゼンマイバネ1の用途は、コードリールに使用するものに限らず、他の種々の装置等にも使用でき、適宜変更できる。
【0027】
更に、本実施形態では、長さの長いゼンマイバネ1に穿設部91を設けて弱部9を設けているが、弱部9を設けてもゼンマイバネとしての強度は十分に保持しており、予巻きにより係止爪3が係止用孔4から外れるような長さの短いものに弱部9を設けるようにして使用しても良く、適宜変更し得る。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上、本願第1の発明のゼンマイバネ1は、例えばゼンマイバネ1が長くて予巻きをした状態では係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込み、コードリール5の使用中に係止爪3が係止用孔4に係脱するおそれのある場合でも、コードリール5に装着後、ゼンマイバネ1を巻き締めて係止爪3が係止用孔4から外れると、曲げ力が作用し、鋼板2における係止用孔4及び弱部9の部分がくの字状に折り曲げられて径外方向に突出した状態になり、この状態から、巻き弾性によりゼンマイバネ1が径大に拡張すると、係止爪3と、係止爪3の外側に配位された鋼板との間に空間21ができ、ゼンマイバネ1の拡張に際し、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込まずに通過する。従って、使用中に、係止爪3が係止用孔4に入り込む際の衝撃力によって係止爪3が折れたり、係止爪3の基端部にクラックが発生するようなことを防止でき、ゼンマイバネ1の機能を維持しておけるものにできる。
【0029】
本願第2の発明は、穿設部91によって鋼板2の縦断面積を小さくでき、曲げ強度を弱くできる。又、その際、穿設部91の寸法設定により、鋼板2の縦断面積を容易に確実に決定でき、使用中に破断しない程度の強度を保持しながら係止爪3の位置における鋼板2の曲げ強度よりも弱くできる。一方、製作にあたっては、係止爪3及び係止用孔4をプレス加工する際に、穿設部91をも一体的に同時加工でき、従来のものに比して加工工程を増やすことなく行うことができる。従って、弱部9を、容易に確実に、しかも経済的に形成できる。

Conventionally, a long steel plate having elasticity is wound and formed from the front end side to the rear end side sequentially, and the front end side of the steel plate is arranged on the innermost diameter side, and the spiral shape is arranged with the rear end side on the outermost diameter outer side. The spring spring to be exhibited is widely known, and is used, for example, in a cord reel for drawing and winding an electric cord. When used in a cord reel, the mainspring spring is housed in a spring housing section k1 of the cord reel case k as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 in a spiral shape with a predetermined diameter. Since it is going to expand by the winding elastic action of this, storage work is difficult. For this reason, conventionally, a means for locking the mainspring spring to a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the spring accommodating portion of the case has been adopted. In this conventional locking means, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), a locking hole a in which a steel plate constituting the mainspring d is drilled with a predetermined length and width is provided on the rear end side of the mainspring d. In addition, a locking claw b obtained by cutting and raising a part of the steel plate in the radially outward direction is provided at the rear position of the locking hole a, and from the spiral state as shown in FIG. If it is expanded, the locking claw b can naturally enter the locking hole a and lock it in a spiral state. In this way, the mainspring d is held in the spring housing portion k1 of the case k. It is made to latch on the diameter a little smaller than a diameter. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, from the state where the locking claw b and the locking hole a are locked, the tip e of the spring spring d is attached to the fixed shaft k3 provided in the case k, and the spring spring The end f is set so as to be engaged with a rotary drum k4 that is rotatably provided in the case k, and then the rotary drum k4 is rotated 2-3 times in the direction of tightening the spring spring d (X direction in the figure). Then, the so-called spring spring is pre-wound. By this pre-winding, the mainspring is wound and the locking claw b comes off from the locking hole a, and this pre-wound state is a state where the cord k2 is completely wound into the case k. As a result, if the wound cord k2 is pulled out of the case k2, the spring spring d is tightened accordingly to increase the winding elasticity, and if the cord k2 is released, the cord k2 is wound by the winding elasticity of the spring spring d. The cord k2 pulled out in the pre-winding state can be completely wound. The cord reel will be further described later.
However, when used for the long cord k2, it is necessary to use the spring spring d having a long length and increasing the number of windings. However, if the number of windings of the spring spring d increases, Even if pre-winding is performed, the outer diameter portion of the mainspring is not tightened. As a result, the locking claw b is not detached from the locking hole a and the cord k2 is pulled out by a predetermined length and the locking claw is pulled out. b is disengaged from the locking hole a. Therefore, in such a case, when the cord k2 is drawn out and rolled, the locking claw b comes out and enters the locking hole a, and the locking claw b enters the locking hole a during use. Repeatedly receive impact force. As a result, the locking claw b breaks during use, or a crack g occurs from the base end of the locking claw b as shown in FIG. There exists a subject that it will fracture | rupture from the part which provided the latching claw b.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and even when the mainspring is wound many times, the locking claw breaks during use or breaks from the portion where the locking claw is provided. The first object is to provide a spring spring that does not end up.
[0004]
The present invention does not break the locking claw during use or break from the portion provided with the locking claw even when the mainspring is wound many times. The second object is to provide a spring spring that can be manufactured at low cost.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A spiral spring in which a long steel plate 2 is formed by winding from the front end side to the rear end side sequentially, and the front end side of the steel plate 2 is arranged on the innermost diameter side and the rear end side is arranged on the outermost diameter outer side. This invention solves the said subject by providing what has the following characteristics. The first invention of the present application includes a locking claw 3 and a cut-and-raised hole 31 generated by cutting and raising the locking claw 3 from the steel plate 2 on the rear end side of the steel plate 2 constituting the spring. The locking hole 4 and the weak part 9 are respectively provided along the longitudinal direction. The locking hole 4 is arranged at a rear position of the locking claw 3 so that the locking claw 3 and the locking hole 4 are detachably locked in a spirally wound state. To be able to. The weak portion 9 is obtained by making the bending strength of the steel plate 2 weaker than the bending strength of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3. And this weak part 9 is coordinated to the front position of the latching claw 3.
[0006]
In the second invention of the present application, the weak portion 9 includes a perforated portion 91 formed by removing a part of the steel plate 2.
[0007]
In the first invention of the present application configured as described above, the weak portion 9 in which the bending strength of the steel plate 2 is weaker than the bending strength of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3 is placed at the front position of the locking claw 3. Coordinate. In this way, for example, when the mainspring 1 is long and pre-wound, the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4, and the locking claw 3 engages and disengages with the locking hole 4 while the cord reel 5 is in use. Even if there is a possibility of the failure, if the spring spring 1 is wound and the locking claw 3 is removed from the locking hole 4 after being mounted on the cord reel 5, the steel plate 2 constituting the spring spring 1 is bent as shown in FIG. The force acts and the portions of the locking holes 4 and the weak portions 9 in the steel plate 2 are bent because the strength against the bending force is weak. Further, the portion of the steel plate 2 where the locking claw 3 is cut and raised also has a small cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2, but the portion of the locking claw 3 is close to the weak portion 9, so As a result, the portion of the locking claw 3 is hardly bent and the weak portion 9 is bent into a U-shape. As a result, the locking hole 4 and the weak portion 9 in the steel plate 2 are formed into a U-shape. It will be bent and will be in the state where it protruded in the diameter outward direction. From this state, when the mainspring 1 expands to a large diameter due to the winding elasticity, the locking hole 4 and the weak portion 9 are bent into a dogleg shape, so that the locking claw 3 and the locking claw 3 A space 21 is formed between the steel plate and the steel plate arranged on the outer side, and the locking claw 3 passes through the locking hole 4 without entering the locking spring 4 when the mainspring 1 is expanded. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the locking claw 3 from being broken by the impact force when the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4 during use, or the base end portion of the locking claw 3 from being cracked. .
[0008]
In the second invention of the present application, it is assumed that the weak portion 9 is provided with a perforated portion 91 formed by removing a part of the steel plate 2. By carrying out like this, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 can be made small, and bending strength can be made weak. At this time, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 can be easily and reliably determined by setting the dimensions of the perforated portion 91, and the bending of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3 while maintaining a strength that does not break during use. Can be weaker than strength. On the other hand, in manufacturing, when the locking claw 3 and the locking hole 4 are pressed, the drilling portion 91 can also be integrally processed simultaneously without increasing the number of processing steps compared to the conventional one. be able to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a mainspring spring according to an embodiment of the present invention is wound and locked, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part on the rear end side of the mainspring spring according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0010]
The mainspring 1 of this embodiment is a mainspring for a cord reel that draws and winds a cord such as an electric cord. As shown in FIG. 1, a long steel plate 2 having elasticity is sequentially moved from the front end side to the rear end. By winding and forming toward the side, the front end side of the steel plate 2 is disposed on the innermost diameter side, and the rear end side is disposed on the outermost diameter outer side, so that the both ends in the width direction of the steel plate 2 are substantially aligned.
[0011]
In this embodiment, the steel plate 2 constituting the mainspring 1 has a width of about 8 mm and a length of about 4000 mm, and a mounting piece 1a is provided on the front end side. This attachment piece 1a is for attaching to the case 6 in the cord reel 5 described later, and is formed by bending the front end of the steel plate 2 to a predetermined length.
[0012]
On the rear end side of the steel plate 2, there are a hook piece 1b, a locking claw 3 arranged at a predetermined distance from the hook piece 1b in the longitudinal front end direction, a hook piece 1b and a locking claw 3; Are provided with a locking hole 4 arranged between them and a weak portion 9 arranged in front of the locking claw 3. The hook piece 1b is for hooking on a lower rotating drum 72 of the cord reel 5 described later, and is formed by bending the rear end of the steel plate 2 to a substantially U-shape with a predetermined length outward in the diameter. .
[0013]
The locking claw 3 and the locking hole 4 form a locking means for locking the mainspring 1 in a spiral shape having a predetermined diameter. It is formed by cutting up the portion to the outside of the diameter with a predetermined width and length. In this embodiment, the latching claw 3 cuts and raises the central portion of the steel plate 2 in the width direction with a width of about 1.4 mm. Therefore, the steel plate 2 after the latching claw 3 has been cut and raised is provided with a cut and raised hole 31 having the width and length of the locking claw 3. On the other hand, the locking hole 4 has a central portion in the width direction of the steel plate 2 with a width of about 2.2 mm and longer than the length of the locking claw 3. As shown in FIG. In a spiral state in which the upper and lower ends in the width direction of the steel sheet 2 are substantially aligned in a spiral manner from the front end side to the rear end side, the locking claw 3 enters and exits the locking hole 4 freely. Can be locked.
[0014]
The weak portion 9 is a portion where the bending strength of the steel plate 2 is made weaker than the bending strength of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3, and includes a punching portion 91 formed by removing a part of the steel plate 2. In the present embodiment, the punched portion 91 is located at the front position separated from the locking claw 3 by about 2.5 mm along the longitudinal direction, and the central portion in the width direction of the steel plate 2 is about 2.2 mm wide and 6 mm long. It consists of a perforated hole 91 with a certain degree of perforation.
[0015]
These locking claws 3, the locking holes 4, and the drilling holes 91 are integrally punched simultaneously by a mold. As means for weakening the bending strength of the steel plate 2, there are other methods other than the method of reducing the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 by forming the perforated portion 91 from which a part of the steel plate 2 is removed as in the present invention. Although it is conceivable, by adopting the drilling portion 91, the locking claw 3, the locking hole 4 and the drilling hole 91 can be integrally punched simultaneously by a mold as described above, and the locking claw 3 And the conventional spring having the locking holes 4 can be processed in the same step without increasing the number of steps, thereby preventing an increase in cost. Moreover, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 can be easily and reliably determined by setting the dimensions of the drilled portion 91, and the bending strength of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3 while maintaining a strength that does not break during use. Can weaken.
[0016]
The mainspring 1 configured as described above is attached to the cord reel 5 from the state in which the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4 and forms a spiral shape with a predetermined diameter. Prior to the description of this mounting, the cord reel 5 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.
[0017]
The cord reel 5 has the same configuration as that conventionally used, and includes a case 6 having a disk shape with a predetermined thickness as shown in FIG. The case 6 includes a rotatable disc-shaped upper rotary drum 71 and a lower rotary drum 72 formed integrally with the upper rotary drum 71. 72, the inside of the case 6 is partitioned into three upper, middle, and lower space portions 61, 62, and 63. The upper space portion 61 forms the second winding portion 61 and stores the portion of the cord 10 that is always coordinated to the second winding portion and is not pulled out of the case 6. The middle space portion 62 forms the first winding portion 62 and stores the portion of the cord 10 that is pulled out of the case 6. The lower space portion 63 is further partitioned into a radially outer lever storage portion 64 and a radially inner spring spring storage portion 65 by a partition wall 72a projecting circularly downward from the lower surface of the lower rotating drum 72. . The lever storage portion 64 stores a stop lever 8 whose rear end is rotatably connected to the lower rotary drum 72, and the front end of the stop lever 8 is located inside the case 6 as the lower rotary drum 72 rotates. By sliding a guide groove (not shown) formed on the lower surface, the cord 10 of the first winding portion 62 drawn out from the case 6 by a predetermined length can be locked in that state. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the mainspring spring storage portion 65 includes an attachment groove 66 a for attaching the attachment piece 1 a of the mainspring spring 1 and a hook portion 67 for hooking the hook piece 1 b of the mainspring spring 1. The mounting groove 66a is formed by forming a groove into which the mounting piece 1a can be inserted into a fixed shaft 66 provided at the center of the case 6, and the hook portion 67 is a part of the partition wall 72a. There is.
[0018]
Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the spring spring 1 is moved from the state in which the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4 and forms a spiral shape with a predetermined diameter to the spring spring accommodating portion 65, and the spring 1 mounting piece 1a is attached to the mounting groove. It is attached to the case 6 by being inserted into 66a, and the hooking piece 1b is hooked to the hooking portion 67 to be connected to the rotary drums 71 and 72, and is stored in that state. Then, after that, the rotary drums 71 and 72 are pre-wound by rotating about 2 to 3 times in the direction in which the mainspring 1 is tightened (X direction in FIG. 4). As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner diameter portion of the mainspring 1 is wound and the diameter is reduced, but the outer diameter portion of the mainspring 1 is not affected by pre-winding about 2-3 times. The state as it is is maintained, and the locking claw 3 is maintained in a state of entering the locking hole 4.
[0019]
The cord reel 5 to which the mainspring 1 is mounted as described above pulls the tip of the cord 10 arranged outside the case 6. As a result, the rotary drums 71 and 72 rotate in a direction (X direction in FIG. 5) to wind the mainspring spring 1, and the cord 10 in the case 6 wound along the rotary drums 71 and 72 is pulled out of the case 6. be able to. After the cord 10 is pulled out, the rotary drums 71 and 72 are stopped by the action of the stop lever 8 if the hand is released, and the state can be maintained. Further, when the cord 10 is pulled by a predetermined length, the outer portion of the mainspring 1 is also tightened as shown in FIG. 6 and the locking claw 3 is removed from the locking hole 4. When the locking claw 3 is removed from the locking hole 4, a bending force always acts on the steel plate 2 constituting the mainspring 1 as shown in FIG. Since the cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 is reduced by the locking hole 4 and the drilling hole 91 and the strength against the bending force is weakened, the portion is bent in a dogleg shape. Further, the cut-and-raised hole 31 in the steel plate 2 also has a smaller cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2, but the cut-and-raised hole 31 is close to the drilled hole 91, so The force concentrates and the portion of the hole 9 is bent and cut and raised, and the portion of the hole 31 is hardly bent. Accordingly, in the mainspring 1, the portions of the locking holes 4 and the perforated holes 91 gradually become deeper when the locking claws 3 are detached from the locking holes 4, that is, while the cord 10 is pulled out and used. As shown in FIG. 6, the portions of the locking hole 4 and the perforated hole 91 are projected in the radially outward direction.
[0020]
On the other hand, if the pulled cord 10 is further pulled out and released, the stop of the rotating drums 71 and 72 by the stop lever 8 is released, and the rotating drums 71 and 72 are wound by the spring elasticity of the wound spring spring 1. The cord 10 that rotates in the opposite direction and is pulled out of the case 6 along with this rotation is wound along the rotary drums 71 and 72 and can be wound into the case 6. Further, the mainspring 1 expands to a large diameter due to the winding elasticity as shown in FIG. 7, but the portions of the locking hole 4 and the drilling hole 91 are bent in a dogleg shape. A space 21 is formed between the steel plate arranged on the outside of the locking claw 3, and the locking claw 3 passes through the locking hole 4 without entering the locking spring 4 when the mainspring 1 is expanded. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the locking claw 3 from being broken by the impact force when the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4 during use, or the base end portion of the locking claw 3 from being cracked. . Note that the locking claw 3 may enter the locking hole 4 at the beginning of use with a small amount of bending, but the locking claw 3 is gradually bent by use and the locking claw 3 cannot enter the locking hole 4. .
[0021]
Next, since the fatigue test of the mainspring 1 of the present invention was performed, the results are shown in Table 1 below. In this fatigue test, three spring springs 1 of the present invention were used as samples (samples Nos. 1-3, hereinafter referred to as “the product of the present invention”), and the spring 10 was pulled out until all the cords 10 were drawn out. After that, the process until the cord 10 was completely rewound was made one time, and this was repeated. At the same time, as a comparative example, three springs (samples Nos. 4 to 6, hereinafter referred to as “comparative examples”) having the same length and not provided with the perforated hole 91 were performed under the same conditions. The dimensions of the locking claws and the locking holes of the three comparative examples (samples Nos. 4 to 6) were the same as the products of the present invention.
[0022]
[Table 1]
Figure 0004074700
[0023]
As shown in Table 1, the comparative examples were 1500 to 3600 times, and cracks were not visually observed, but all the locking claws 3 were damaged. On the other hand, all the products of the present invention were 30,000 times or more, and no breakage of the locking claws 3 or cracks at the base end portions of the locking claws 3 were observed, and the spring spring 1 was broken at the front end portion. Therefore, the product of the present invention is no different from the product in which the locking claw 3 and the locking hole 4 are not provided at all, and the influence of the locking claw 3 and the locking hole 4 does not appear.
[0024]
By using the mainspring 1 configured as described above, when the mainspring 1 is long and pre-wound, the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4, and the locking claw 3 is moved while the cord reel 5 is being used. Even when there is a possibility of being engaged with or disengaged from the locking hole 4, it is possible to prevent the locking claw 3 from being broken or the base end of the locking claw 3 from being cracked, and the function of the mainspring spring 1 to be deteriorated or broken during use. Can be used smoothly.
[0025]
In this embodiment, only one square-shaped drilling hole 91 is provided as the drilling part 91. However, a part of the mainspring spring 2 is removed to reduce the longitudinal sectional area and weaken the bending strength. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, a plurality of perforated holes 91... 91 may be arranged side by side in the width direction of the steel plate 2 to reduce the longitudinal sectional area. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), a part of each of the upper end and the lower end is cut to form the drilling portions 91 and 91, and further, the upper end or the lower end part of the spring 2 is cut. A portion 91 may be formed to reduce the longitudinal sectional area. Further, the drilling portion 91 has a vertical cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 at the position of the drilling portion 91 (FIG. 2) based on the vertical cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3 (area in the cross section along AA in FIG. 2). If the bending force is simultaneously applied to both the position of the locking claw 3 and the position of the drilling portion 91, the drilling with low bending strength is performed. Since concentrated stress is applied to the position of the portion 91 and the position of the drilling portion 91 is bent, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 at the position of the drilling portion 91 is smaller than the vertical cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3. It is preferable to set the perforating part 91 so as to keep. On the other hand, if the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 at the position of the drilling portion 91 is about ½ or more of the vertical cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2, there is a possibility that the strength becomes weak. The vertical cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 is preferably set to about ½ or less of the vertical cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2. On the other hand, the position of the weak portion 9 with respect to the locking claw 3 is between the locking claw 3 and the steel plate arranged on the outside of the locking claw 3 with the portion of the drilling portion 91 being bent in a U shape. The space 21 may be formed and the locking claw 3 may be located at a position where the locking claw 3 does not enter the locking hole 4 when the mainspring 1 is expanded. More specifically, the distance L from the locking claw 3 (shown in FIG. 2). Is preferably provided at a position of about 2 to 5 mm. In such a position, the locking claw 3 can be prevented from entering the locking hole 4 when the mainspring spring 1 is expanded by reliably forming the space 21. it can.
[0026]
Moreover, the cord reel using the mainspring 1 of the present invention is not limited to the above-described form, and can be used for a conventional one. The application of the spring spring 1 of the present invention is not limited to that used for the cord reel, but can be used for other various devices and the like, and can be changed as appropriate.
[0027]
Further, in this embodiment, the long spring spring 1 is provided with the perforated portion 91 and the weak portion 9 is provided, but even if the weak portion 9 is provided, the strength of the spring spring is sufficiently maintained, It may be used by providing the weak portion 9 on a short length such that the locking claw 3 is removed from the locking hole 4 by winding, and can be changed as appropriate.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the mainspring 1 of the first invention of the present application, for example, when the mainspring 1 is long and pre-wound, the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4, and the locking claw 3 is engaged during use of the cord reel 5. Even when there is a possibility of engaging with or disengaging from the locking hole 4, when the locking spring 3 is wound and the locking claw 3 is detached from the locking hole 4 after being mounted on the cord reel 5, a bending force acts, When the locking hole 4 and the weak portion 9 are bent into a U-shape and project in the radially outward direction, from this state, when the mainspring 1 is expanded to a large diameter by winding elasticity, the locking claw 3 and A space 21 is formed between the steel plate arranged on the outside of the locking claw 3, and the locking claw 3 passes through the locking hole 4 without entering the locking spring 4 when the mainspring 1 is expanded. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the locking claw 3 from being broken by the impact force when the locking claw 3 enters the locking hole 4 during use, or the base end portion of the locking claw 3 from being cracked. The function of the mainspring 1 can be maintained.
[0029]
In the second invention of the present application, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 can be reduced by the drilling portion 91, and the bending strength can be reduced. At this time, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the steel plate 2 can be easily and reliably determined by setting the dimensions of the perforated portion 91, and the bending of the steel plate 2 at the position of the locking claw 3 while maintaining a strength that does not break during use. Can be weaker than strength. On the other hand, in manufacturing, when the locking claw 3 and the locking hole 4 are pressed, the drilling portion 91 can also be integrally processed simultaneously without increasing the number of processing steps compared to the conventional one. be able to. Therefore, the weak part 9 can be formed easily, reliably and economically.
