Lead-in clamp with electric wire protective casing

Abstract

A lead-in clamp with electric wire protective casing are disclosed. The electric wire protective casing is a long plastic roll tube, whose longitudinal free edges are not sealed, but rather can be expanded out and drawn back, on the roll tube there being formed a series of uniformly spaced transverse recesses. The lead-in clamp comprises left and right clamp stems, left and right clamp bodies and a clamping spring. When the left and right clamp bodies are fitted together, a wire passing cylinder and a casing guiding head are formed. When in use, the wires are put into the wire passing cylinder, then insert the casing guiding head into one end of the wire protective casing tube. After the wire protective casing tube is fixed stationary by hand, the lead-in clamp is pushed toward the other end of the wire protective casing, thereby to encase all of the wires into the wire protection casing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the protection of electric wires, in particular, to an electric wire protective casing and a lead-in clamp to lead the electric wire into the protective casing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] With the development of science and technology, especially the rapid development of information industry, computers, telephones and facsimiles are now in common use in offices, laboratories or even in households. A lot of electric wires often pass through among such devices as the computer hardware, printer, telephone, facsimile, duplicator and socket outlets, making them appear to be in a muddle, and unpleasant to see. If all these wires should be orderly encased in a protective casing, they would be not only neat and tidy, but also safe and durable. Formerly, in order to be neat and tidy, these wires were usually sheathed or encased in metallic or plastic pipes. When permanently fixed wires are encased in such a way as above, or even pipes containing the wires therein are embedded into the preset groove in the wall or under the floor, it does look neat and tidy, but the installation process is complex and laborious. Moreover, it does not meet the requirement of changes day after day.

[0003] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned difficulty by providing a lead-in clamp and an electric wire protective casing. By means of the lead-in clamp, the disorderly and confused wires can be conveniently, rapidly, systematically and integrally encased into the wire protective casing to make them neat and tidy, safe and durable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The object of the present invention can be thus achieved, namely, an electric wire protective casing is provided, which is a long plastic roll tube, whose longitudinal free edges are not sealed, but rather can be expanded out and drawn back. On the roll tube there are formed a series of uniformly spaced, transverse recesses to make the protective casing more freely bendable. The transverse recesses comprise rectangular recesses which are not open to the free edges and notches which are open to the free edges, alternately distributed over the wall of the plastic roll tube. The lead-in clamp, which is to lead wires into the wire protective casing, comprises left and right clamp stems, left and right clamp bodies and a clamping spring. Its features lie in that when said left and right clamp bodies are fitted together, the wire passing cylinder and the casing guiding head are formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] The following is a further description of the present invention incorporating a preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lower part being the wire protective casing 1. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the wire protective casing 1 of the present utility model is a long plastic tube, the free edges 11, 12 of which can be freely rolled, either expanded out or drawn back. On the roll tube there are formed, uniformly spaced, a series of transverse recesses. These recesses comprise rectangular recesses 13 which are not open to the free edges and notches 14 which are open to the free edges. The recesses 13 and notches 14 are alternately distributed over the plastic roll tube 15, so that the plastic roll tube can be conveniently and freely bent according to requirement.

[0028] The upper part of FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the lead-in clamp 2. It comprises left and right clamp stems 26, 27, left and right clamp bodies 21, 22 and a clamping spring 24. Its features lie in that when said left clamp body 21 and right clamp body 22 are fitted together by the clamping force of the clamping spring 24, a wire passing cylinder 28 and a casing guiding head 29 are formed.

[0029] When in use, first grasp with force the clamp stems 26 and 27 to open the clamp bodies 21, 22, then put the wires to be encased into the wire passing cylinder 28 of the clamp. After the loosening of the grip, the clamp bodies 21, 22 are fitted together by the clamping force of the clamping spring 24. Then insert the casing guiding head 29 into one end of the wire protective casing tube (as shown in FIG. 4), and grasp the wire protective casing tube. Then, the lead-in clamp is pushed toward the other end of the wire protective casing tube until the full length of all the wire has been encased in the wire protective easing tube.

[0030] The wire protective casing tube has freely expanding and contracting functions. A plurality of wires can be smoothly encased in the wire protective casing tube by means of the lead-in clamp. Lead-in clamp 2 and wire protective casing tube 1 of different sizes (here mainly referring to the natural diameter of the roll tube and that of the wire passing cylinder, that is, the diameters when no expanding force is applied) can be produced to meet the requirements of varied plurality of wires.

[0031] Consequently, it is quite evident that disorderly and unsystematic wires can be conveniently, rapidly, systematically and integrally encased in the wire protective casing by means of the lead-in clamp based on the present invention to make them neat and tidy, safe and durable, thus achieving the object of the invention.
