  • Patent number: 11597625
    Abstract: A mechanism for winding a cord includes a storage space in which a cord is wound around a central axis. The storage space includes a first storage space which is provided to allow the cord to be wound in one row, in a predetermined direction intersecting a direction of the central axis, and has a first height in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction that is substantially the same as a diameter of the cord, and a second storage space which is provided on one or both of an outer circumference and an inner circumference of the first storage space, has a second height along the direction of the central axis that is at least twice the diameter of the cord, and is provided to allow the cord to be wound in a plurality of rows along the central axis.

  • Patent number: 10773921
    Abstract: A first engaging part is located on an outer surface of a cord reel and protrudes in a first direction orthogonal to a rotation axis of the cord reel. A second engaging part is located on the outer surface of the cord reel at a position different from the first engaging part in a second direction along the rotation axis. A holder base has an opening through which the cord reel can be inserted in the second direction. One or more notches are formed along the outer periphery of the opening of the holder base and allows the first engaging part to pass therethrough in the second direction. When the cord reel is attached to the holder, the holder base is disposed between the first engaging part and the second engaging part in the second direction.

  • Patent number: 10616389
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a handset and a cradle that removably holds the handset. In the cradle, the storage section is disposed in the main body, includes a recess formed from a bottom surface, two side surfaces extending along a longitudinal direction, and two end surfaces extending along a lateral direction that crosses the longitudinal direction, and can accommodate the entire length of the handset. The cord insertion portion is open at a first end surface of the two end surfaces. A cord of the electronic terminal passes through the cord insertion portion. The push-up member is disposed so as to retractably project from the bottom surface of the storage section, and abuts against the handset stored in the storage portion. The handset is stored in the storage section so as to form a space between the handset and the bottom surface of the storage section, and can pivot to the first end surface side due to the push-up member projecting.
