Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a plug storage device that allows the plug of a headphone or the like to be stored in a cabinet while being inserted into a jack, making it convenient to carry.

Recently, tape recorders have been widely used to listen to music through headphones while walking.

Such tape recorders are made as small as possible and are sometimes carried in a jacket pocket or attached to a waist belt.

In that case, as mentioned above, in order to listen through headphones, the headphone plug is inserted into the jack of the tape recorder, but since the headphone plug protrudes from the cabinet of the tape recorder, the headphone plug gets in the way and may not fit into a pocket. Or, the headphone plug may hit your lower back, causing discomfort.

The present invention is an attempt to eliminate the disadvantage of refusing.The jack is slidably provided in the storage recess formed in the cabinet, and when the plug of headphones etc. is inserted into the jack, the jack is pushed in and the plug is completely closed. To provide a plug storage device which is stored in a cabinet and is not projected to the outside.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a cabinet for a tape recorder, etc., and one upper corner thereof is surrounded by a partition plate 2 to form a storage chamber 3.

A groove 4 and a holding part 5 are formed in the partition plate 2,
Furthermore, in the front part of the storage chamber 3 of the cabinet 1,
A hole having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of a headphone plug 6, which will be described later, is partially provided with a notch 7.7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a headphone jack, and a substrate 10 that slides in the groove 4 is attached to the lower surface of the headphone jack 9, and the headphone jack 9 is provided so as to be movable in the front and back directions within the storage chamber 3.

11 is a spring whose one end is fixed to the holding part 5;
The headphone jack 9 is energized in the opening direction.

The handle 12 of the headphone plug 6 has a locking part 13.13 that is approximately the same shape as the notch 7.7 of the hole 8 drilled in the front surface of the cabinet 1 and is slightly smaller than the notches 7, 7, and a locking part 13.13 that extends in the axial direction. A flat knob portion 14 is provided.

The plug storage device of the present invention has the above-described configuration.

Now, when one wants to listen to music played from a tape recorder through headphones, the insertion terminal of the headphone plug 6 is inserted into the hole 15 of the headphone jack 9.

If the headphone plug i is simply inserted into the headphone jack 9, the headphone plug 1 may protrude from the cabinet 1 and become a hindrance, as shown in FIG.

In such a case, the locking parts 13.13 between the headphone plugs
align the direction of the notches 7, 7 of the hole 8, and push in the headphone plug 6.

Then, the headphone jack 9 is pushed in against the biasing force of the spring 11, and the headphone plug i is also pushed in accordingly, and the locking part 13.13 also passes through the notch 7.7 of the hole 8 and is inserted into the cabinet 1. Ru.

Then, hold the legitimate child part 14 by hand and press it 90 as shown in FIG.
When rotated once, the locking parts 13 are locked to the cabinet 1 near the hole 8.

Therefore, the headphone plug 6 is also stored in the storage chamber 3 as shown in FIG. 2, and is hardly protruded from the cabinet 1, so that the headphone plug i does not get in the way when being carried.

When the tape recorder finishes playing and the headphone plug i is removed from the headphone jack 9, the legitimate child part 14
Rotate it 90 degrees by hand and insert the locking part 13.13 into the hole 8.
When the direction matches the notches 7, 7, the locking portion 13
, 13 are released, and the restoring force of the spring 11 causes the headphone jack 9 and the headphone plug 1 to be released.
is pushed out and the headphone plug 6 is inserted into the cabinet 1 again.
protrude outward.

Therefore, by pulling the handle 12 of the headphone plug 6 by hand, the headphone plug 6 can be pulled out from the headphone jack 9.

In the plug storage device of the present invention, when the headphone plug is inserted into the headphone jack and pushed in as described above, the headphone plug slides toward the back of the storage chamber and is recessed into the cabinet. When using headphones while carrying the device, the headphone plug does not get in the way, which is convenient in practice.
