Description

Dispositivo recogedor de cable.Cable pickup device.

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, a solution that obviously it leaves much to be desired.

Description of the invention

El recogedor cíe 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 collector proposed by the invention 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 to say the distance between the apparatus that feeds said cable and the plug base from which take the power, with an optimal aesthetic finish for the set.

Para ello y de forma más concreta, dicho recogedor está constituido a partir de un núcleo anular y acanalado, que constituye una especie de carrete recogedor mediante arrollamiento del cable sobrante, complementándose dicho núcleo con una envolvente basculante provista de un anillo central que se une articuladamente al núcleo anular, en el seno de este último, mediante una pareja de tetones en oposición diametral, configurando dicha envolvente, a partir del citado anillo, dos tapas acanaladas y contrapuestas capaces de dejar libre la acanaladura perimetral del núcleo anular, es decir, el citado carrete, para arrollamiento del cable, o de obturar la embocadura de dicho carrete, en dos amplias zonas contrapuestas, con un cierre estable, dejando otras dos zonas contrapuestas para entrada y salida del cable con respecto al carrete.To do this and more specifically, said collector is constituted from an annular core and fluted, which constitutes a kind of reel pickup by winding of the excess cable, said core being complemented with a tilting envelope provided with a central ring that joins articulated to the annular nucleus, within the latter, through a pair of studs in diametral opposition, setting said envelope, from said ring, two ribbed caps and counterpoints capable of freeing the perimeter groove of the annular core, that is, said reel, for winding of the cable, or of sealing the mouth of said reel, in two large contrasting areas, with a stable closure, leaving others two opposing zones for cable entry and exit with Regarding the reel.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención se ha previsto que el núcleo anular o carrete incorpore en su cara externa y también en dos puntos diametralmente opuestos, sendas pinzas para fijación del cable, tanto a la entrada del mismo al carrete como a su salida.According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that the annular core or reel incorporates on its outer face and also at two diametrically opposite points, two clamps for fixing the cable, both at the entrance of the cable to the reel as at its exit.

El dispositivo en su conjunto, en situación de cierre, adopta una configuración tendente al anillo toroidal y hueco, capaz de albergar en su interior una considerable longitud de cable, toda aquella que resulte sobrante a la hora de conectar un aparato alimentado eléctricamente a la complementaria base de enchufe de la red general de suministro eléctrico.The device as a whole, in a situation of closure, adopts a configuration tending to the toroidal ring and hollow, capable of housing a considerable length inside cable, all that is left over when connecting an apparatus electrically powered to the complementary base of plug of the general power supply network.

Así pues y desde el punto de vista de utilización, basta con hacer bascular la envolvente con respecto al núcleo anular, para que el carrete configurado por este último quede directamente accesible, permitiendo el arrollamiento en su seno del cable, tras lo que se procederá a fijar los dos puntos del mismo que salen del carrete a través de las correspondientes abrazaderas o pinzas, haciendo bascular seguidamente la envolvente en sentido contrario, para conseguir el cierre del dispositivo, sobresaliendo del mismo exclusivamente el tramo del cable necesario para llegar a la citada base de enchufe, y con el cable exterior a dicho dispositivo debidamente tensado con cualquier trayectoria que se estime conveniente, pero siempre en ausencia de sobredimensionamientos indeseados.So and from the point of view of use, just swing the envelope with respect to the annular core, so that the reel configured by the latter is directly accessible, allowing the winding in your sine of the cable, after which the two points of the same that leave the reel through the corresponding clamps or clamps, then swing the envelope in the opposite direction, to get the device closed, protruding from it exclusively the section of the necessary cable to reach the mentioned socket base, and with the outer cable to said device properly tensioned with any trajectory that deemed convenient, but always in the absence of unwanted oversizing.
