Cable holding element

[0001] The invention relates to a cable fastening element according to the preamble of independent claim 1.

[0002] Cable fastening elements according to the invention are used for cable entry and for making a cable duct. In particular, cable fastening elements can be used inside electrical devices, preferably gaming machines.

[0003] Cable guides for gaming devices are known in the prior art, in which the cable bundles are held by cable ties and / or cable coils. The cable harnesses are connected by fastening caps or fastening clamps to the housing of a given device.

[0004] A significant disadvantage here is that the subsequent disconnection and reconnection of the cable harness in the housing is difficult or only possible with a lot of effort. Thus, there is the task of creating a cable fastening element into which cable harnesses can easily be inserted and from which cable harnesses can be easily removed.

[0005] From European patent application EP 0 893 865 A2 a flexible cable fastening for holding electric cables or similar objects is known, which includes a base part with a plurality of fasteners that extend along the longitudinal edges, as a consequence of which form wall parts of the cable duct, in which the individual fastening elements are permanently connected to the edge of the base element. The fastening elements have a free end, wherein the individual free ends of the cable fasteners, which extend from different edges, are arranged opposite each other, with the individual ends of the fastenings being on a common plane.

[0006] From US patent publication 2,896,009 a cable duct with a base wall and side walls and holding elements that protrude from the side walls is known. Such holding elements are separated from each other by the same distance.

[0007] In addition, the disadvantage or problem of the prior art, especially in the case of gaming machines, is that with the same fixed cable harness systems in the device housing, the individual cables always lie in the same place. Due to the precise knowledge of the position of the cable in such devices, manipulation outside the device is often possible. This can be done, for example, by drilling the housing into position. If the manipulator knows the location of the cable or cable harness, there is a danger that that person may manipulate many such devices.

[0008] Thus, there is an additional task of the invention to reduce manipulation within the device. [0009] The invention solves this task by a cable fastening element of the above mentioned type with the features of the characterizing part of independent claim 1.

[0010] According to the invention, a cable fastening element is provided for inserting one or several cables, comprising a body and a plurality of projections protruding from the body, which protrude from opposite ranges of the body, the projections and possibly the body including, demarcating and / or defining the channel range to routing cables that the projections engage, preferably without contact, and / or in a comb system, so that the end of at least one of the projections, which protrude from the range, is positioned between two projections protruding from the opposite range and / or protrudes in this way.

[0011] Thanks to this type of cable clamping element, it is possible to lay cable bundles uncomplicated, uncomplicated removal of cable bundles from the cable clamping element, and quick or combined with relatively little effort to change the position of individual cable bundles by removing the cable bundle from the cable clamping element and by inserting the cable bundle into another element of cable fastening.

[0012] Thus, configuration or modification of the routing of one or more cables can be achieved quickly or with relatively little effort, wherein the cable bundles are removed from the cable fastening elements inside the device housing and laid in other cable fastening elements in the same housing. Thus, very effective tamperproofing is possible because the cable fastening elements allow for many possible configurations, and thus the cable harnesses can be laid in a more or less random position in the device. In this way, targeted manipulation of the device is hindered.

In addition, the invention has the advantage that uncomplicated and flexible assembly of multiple cables and cable harnesses in one housing of the same electronic device is possible. A particular advantage is due to the replacement of cables, for example in the context of the exchange of wired components of the device, whereby individual cables can be easily detached from the cable holders through the splines.

[0055] Fig. 17 is an oblique view of the third embodiment of the invention.

[0056] Fig. 18 is an oblique view of the fourth embodiment of the invention.

[0057] Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a cable fastening 50 according to the invention with two cable fastening elements 1, 1 '. The cable fastening elements 1, 1 'have a common body 100, with two separate channel ranges 13, 13' being formed from each other. The body 100 includes a W-shaped angle profile 101 that has on one side a central leading edge 102 and two end edges 103. The central leading edge 102 extends parallel to the end edges 103 and remains with them on the same plane.

[0058] Both channel ranges 13, 13 'are limited by half of the W-shaped profile 101 and by the projections 17, 18, the projections 17, 18 protrude from the leading edge 102 and the end edges 103. The central projection 17, 18 protrudes from the middle leading edge 102, the side projection 17,18 protrudes from one of the two end edges 103.

[0059] Such projections 17, 18 are in a given embodiment rectangular to the plane defined by the central leading edge 102 and both end edges 103, in a standing arrangement, they adhere to the central leading edge 102 or to the final edges 103 and continue them . The projections 17, 18 extend in the longitudinal direction of the W-shaped profile 101 along the entire length of the profile and are positioned rectangular in the plane defined by the central leading edge 102 and the final edge 103.

[0060] A surface with a range 111, 121 is formed at a given end distant from the leading edge 102 or given end edge 103 of the respective projection 17, 18 from which the individual projections 11, 12 protrude.

[0061] With respect to the first cable fastening element 1 that delimits the first channel range 13, the range located at the end edge 103 of the projection 17, 18 and the range located at the central projection 17, 18 are referred to as ranges 111, 121 opposite . Similarly, with respect to the second cable fastening element 1 ', which delimits the second range of the channel 13', the range located at the end of the outlet 103 from the end edge 103, and the area located on the central outlet 17, 18 are designated as opposite ranges 111, 121.

[0062] As shown in Figure 7, tabs 11,12 include a first tab section 113, 123 and a second tab section 114, 124. The tabs 11, 12 are L-shaped or hook-shaped and include two tab sections 113, 114, 123, 124. Each projection 11, 12 includes a first projection section 113, 123 and a second projection section 114, 124. The first projection sections 113, 123 are arranged vertically and / or rectangular to the ranges 111, 121 from which they extend. The second section of the projection 114, 124 continues the first section of the projection 113, 123, at its end, spaced from the given range 111, 121. [0063] The sections of the projection 113, 114, 123, 124 are made in one piece and consist of a flat body. In this case, curved profile rods are used as projections 11, 12. Such profile rods or flat elements exhibit between the first and second projection sections 113, 114, 123, 125 arc 115, 125. Such an arc 115, 125 has the form that the two sections of the projection 113, 114, 123, 124 form an angle of less than 90 °, in this case about 75 °.

[0064] The second sections of the tab 114, 124 extend from the end of the first section of the tab towards the opposite range 111, 121. The individual tabs 11, 12 are arranged in a comb arrangement, i.e. they are located at a distance from each other and facing in the same direction, all tabs 11, 12 protruding from the same range 111, 121 of the first cable attachment element 1, 1 'have the same distance to adjacent tabs 11, 12.

[0065] The projections 11, 12 protrude from the points and / or parts in the ranges 111, 121, which are located on the common straight lines 116, 117. The opposite projections 11, 12 engage each other without contact, the ends 110, 120 of the projections 11, 12 or the ends 110, 120 (Fig. 2.5) of the second sections of the projections 114, 124 are close to each other without contact. Each end 110, 120 of the respective tabs 11, 12 is positioned between two tabs 11, 12, protruding from the opposite range 111, 121 or falls into the intermediate range between the two tabs 11, 12, protruding from the opposite range 11, 12. Individual ends 110, 120 of the tabs 11, 12 or the second sections of the tabs 114, 124 are positioned so that they do not come in contact with the tabs 11, 12, protruding from the opposite range 111, 121. In a given embodiment, all tabs 11, 12 are made and positioned in the same way and do not come into contact with each other.

[0066] On the projection 17, 18 protruding from the central leading edge 102, there are both projections 11, 12 that delimit the first range of the channel 13 and projections 11, 12 that delineate the other range of the channel 13 '. The side of the central projection 17, 18 facing away from the central leading edge 102 thus forms the range 111, 121, from which both projections 11, 12 extend to delimit the first range of the channel 13 and to delimit the second range of the channel 13 '.

[0067] The projections 11, 12 are arranged in such a way that the channel range 13, 13 'has a closed and / or U-shaped channel cross section.

[0068] In a given embodiment, each of the two cable fastening elements 1, 1 'of the cable fastening 50 comprises four first splines 11 and four second splines 12. The ends of the second splice sections 123, 724 face toward the common body 100 or the plane defined by the edges 103 and middle leading edge 102.

[0069] To ensure uncomplicated assembly within the scope of the W-shaped profile 101, four fastening elements 107 are arranged, which allow the tool cable 50 to be detachable and detachably attached to the device 60 or its rack 61. A preferred cable fastening system 50 shown in Fig. 1 to 7 are shown in Figure 8. The device 60 in this case comprises a frame 61 and other wall elements that form the housing of the device and close the internal space of the device.

[0070] The individual edges of the W-shaped profile 101 of the cable attachment 50 remain at right angles to each other. Fig. 8 shows a cable fastening 50 mounted on a folded corner profile 61 of the device 60, the individual fastening means 107 engaging in the cutouts on the corner profile 61 and thus enabling detachable attachment of the cable fastening 50 on the rack 61. In addition, Fig. 8 shows the cable 2, which is run in one of the two ranges 13 of the cable fastening channel 13.

[0071] The housing 10, 100 of the cable fastening 50 includes, in the ranges opposite to the projections 11, 12, a cutout 105. In addition, additional cutouts are provided, in which the fastening means 107 for fixing the device 60 on the rack 61 are provided. Cross-section of both channel ranges 13, 13 'in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 7 remains the same throughout the entire extension of the given channel ranges 13, 13'. [0072] The projections 11, 12 are made in a given embodiment of the invention in a flexible and resilient form and consist of a plastic material, namely polyethylene. The spring action of the protrusions 11.12 consists in that the protrusions 11, 12 after bending and fitting in the course of introducing the cable 2 into the range of the channel 13, 13 'again return to their original position. The consistency of polyethylene is selected in such a way that the projections exhibit bending rigidity and flexibility that allow the individual projections 11, 12 to fit so that the cable can be inserted by pressing the projections 11, 12 into the channel range 13, 13 '.

[0073] Alternatively, the cable fastening element 1 can also be made of polypropylene or other flexible and resilient material. In the present case, not only the tabs 11, 12, but the entire cable tie 50 are made of plastic.

[0074] Figs. 9 to 16 show a second embodiment of cable fastening 50 according to the invention. With the exception of the following deviations, the second embodiment of the invention corresponds to the first embodiment of the invention.

In contrast to the first embodiment, the common body 100 of such cable fastening 50 is flat and even, and the individual projections 11, 12 are also located in the ranges 17, 18 on the projections 17, 18, which run parallel to the plane defined by body 100. Common body 100 includes a plurality of fastening means 107 with which the cable fastening 50 can be placed on the rack 61 of the device 60 without the tool, releasably. As in the first embodiment, the three projections 17, 18 of the body 100 protrude from it, and at its end, distanced from the body 100, they hold individual projections 11, 12. The form, shape and orientation of the individual projections 11, 12 are identical to those in the first embodiment.

[0076] The significant difference between the first and second forms of embodiment of the invention is that the body 100 of the second form is flat and even. The projections directly adhere to the plane of the body 100. Thanks to this form of the body 100, it is possible to advantageously use a cable attachment 50, as shown in the second embodiment of the invention, for mounting on even surfaces.

[0077] Fig. 16 further illustrates the internal wiring of the device 60, using the plurality of cable fasteners shown in the second embodiment of the invention based on Figs. 9 to 15. In contrast to the embodiments of Figures 9 to 15 50, in FIG. 16 cable fastenings 50 are used, which comprise four separate ranges 13 of the channel 13 which are arranged on the common body 10.

[0078] The cable fasteners 50 are bolted through fastening elements 107 of the base plate 10 to or with the housing parts of the device 60. Alternatively, fastening without the use of tools can be provided, for example the fastening elements 107 can be formed through an opening in which the flexible sections of the slats are arranged, so that the rod-shaped element inserted into the hole is fixed by the slat sections like a hook. The flexible sections of the slats can be made of the same material as the base plate 10.

[0079] As can be seen from the range indicated by A of Figure 16, the routing of 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2"' cables or cable bundles in the device 60 can take place in various ways. The cable attachment 50 includes four different channel 13 ranges, with all 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2"' cables only passing through two of these four channel 13 ranges, while the other cable channel 13 ranges 50 do not include cables 2. However, targeted manipulation within the device 60 is only possible when the person who manipulates knows the exact position of the individual 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2"' cables and can thus interrupt their operation from the outside. If the 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2"' cables are run differently each time, effective handling is significantly impeded. By simply disconnecting and reinserting the 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2"' cables into or out of channel 13, simple new wiring is possible, and external manipulation of the individual 2, 2 ', 2 ", 2"' cables is difficult.

[0080] Both the first and second embodiments are made symmetrically around one plane that extends through the central projection 17, 18 and is placed rectangular in the plane defined by the end edges.

[0081] A third embodiment of the invention for cable fastening 50 is shown in Fig. 17 and includes an even and flat common body 100, which includes four fastening means 107 for fastening the common body 100 or cable fastening 50 on the rack 61 of the device 60. On the common rack 10 provided there are four cable fastening elements 1 that face the same way and are placed side by side.

[0082] Each of the cable fastening elements 1 comprises two projections 17, 18, which project from the common body 100, approximately vertically and / or rectangularly. At the end of the projections 17, 18 away from the body 100, projections 11, 12 and further projections 15, 16 protrude from the projections 17, 18. As shown in previous embodiments, the projections 11, 12 include a first segment of the projections 113, 114, which generally extends rectangularly with an angle of 70-90 °, in particular 85-90 ° to the common body 10, arch 115, 125 in which the projections 11, 12 is curved, and a second, extending approximately parallel to body 10, projection 114, 124. The projections 11, 12 crest from the projections 17, 18, wherein the ends 110, 120 of the projections 11, 12 extend between the two projections 11.12 protruding from two opposite ranges 111, 121 or from the opposite projections 17, 18.

[0083] The given ranges 111, 121 of the cable fastening 50 at the distal end of the projections 17, 18 extend parallel to each other and are on the same plane. As in both previous examples, the number of tabs 11, 12 that extend from both ranges 111, 121 is the same.

[0084] Alternatively, it can be provided for all embodiments of the invention that the deviation between the number of tabs 11 that extend from the first range 111 differs from the number of tabs 12 that extend from the second range 121. It is particularly advantageous when a given number of tabs 11.12 outliers 111, 121 preferably differ by one. In particular, a maximum of one deviation is possible at any time without restricting the functionality of the cable fastening 50.

[0085] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 17, all the second sections of the projection 114, 124 are in the same plane, this plane running parallel to the plane of the body 10.

[0086] For each tab 11, 12, the end of which is located between two tabs 11, 12, protruding from the opposite range 111, 121, there is a protruding from the opposite range 111, 121, the further projection 15, 16, whose end 151, 161 is close to the end of the respective tongue 11, 12 and lies opposite it. In the present embodiment, the other projections 15, 16 are also located on the same plane running parallel to the body 10, in which the second projections of 123, 124 also lie. End sides of ends 110, 120, 151, 161 of projections 11, 12 and further ledges 15, 16 are facing each other.

[0087] The further projections 15, 16 comprise a first projecting part 151, 161 which extends from the body 10 or from the body projection 17, 18 of the body 10 substantially rectangular at an angle of 70-90 °, in particular 85-90 °. The second section of the projection 152, 162 of the further projection 15, 16 continues the first section of the projection 151, 161 at its end remote from the body 10. Further projections

15, 16 have a bend, still referred to as arc 153, 163, which connects the first and second sections of the projection 151, 152, 161, 162, with the first and second sections of the projection 151, 152, 161, 162 remaining in relation to each other in approximately at right angles. The form and orientation of the first and / or second projection sections 151, 152, 161, 162 of the further projection 15, 16 corresponds to the form and orientation of the first and second projection sections 113, 114, 123, 124 of the projection 11, 12.

[0088] The length of the first tab sections 151, 161 of the further tabs 15, 16 corresponds to the length of the first tab sections 113, 123 of the tabs 11.12. The form and orientation of the first and second sections of the projections 151, 152, 161, 162 of the further projections 15.16 correspond to the form and orientation of the first and / or second projections of the projections 113, 114, 123, 124 projections

11.12. Further tabs 15.16 - similar to tabs 11.12 - have the same structure and orientation.

As in both previous embodiments, each cable fastener element 1 belonging to the cable fastener 50 includes 2 ranges 111, 121 on both tabs 17, 18, from which the tabs 11.12 protrude. Data for parts of ranges 111, 121, from which the projections extend, lie on the straight lines 116.111. Each cable fastener element 1 shown in Figure 17 has two splines 17, 18.

[0090] The first of the two projections 17 is provided with a first range 111 in which a predetermined number of the first projections 1 protrudes towards the opposite second projection 18. Similarly, a second range 121 is provided on the second projections 18 from which the specified number of second projections 12 towards first tab 17. All first tabs 11 extend from portions of the first range 111 that are on first straight lines 116. All second projections 12 extend from parts of the second range 121 on the second projections 18, which are located on the second straight 126.

[0091] All the first straight lines 116 and the second straight lines 126 of the cable attachment 1 shown in Figure 17 of the cable attachment 50 run parallel to each other.

[0092] Also, the further projections 15, 16 protrude from parts of the first or second range 111, 121, which are located on the first or second straight lines 116, 126. A certain number of further projections 15.16, hereinafter referred to as the first further projections 15, project from the parts of the first range 111, which are located on the first straight line 116. The other, further projections, hereinafter referred to as the second distal projections 16, stand out from the parts of the second range 121, which are located on the second straight line 126. Between the two projections 11,12, which are adjacent to the range 111,121, the further projections 15 are placed, 16. The second sections of the projection 114.124 of the projections 11.12 and the second sections of the projection 114.1124 of the further projections 15.16 are located on the same plane.

[0093] The individual sections of the projection 113, 114, 123, 124 are made of a single piece of a flat body or profile rod, which between the first and second sections of the projection 113, 114, 123, 124 includes an arch 115, 125. The projections 11.12 are flexible and resilient, with the ratio of the width in the length direction of the duct or cable fastening element 1 to the thickness of the splines 11.12 remains in the range from 4: 1 to 4: 1.5, in a given embodiment it is a favorable value of 4: 1.3.

[0094] The entire cable attachment 50 consists in a given embodiment of polyethylene. The consistency of polyethylene is selected in such a way that the tabs 11, 12 show bending rigidity and flexibility that allow the individual tabs 11, 12 to fit so that the cable can be inserted into the channel range due to the pressure on the tabs 11, 12. In addition, in this particular embodiment of the invention, the entire cable attachment 50 is made in one piece. [0095] Alternatively, the cable fastening 50 shown in Fig. 17 can also be made of polypropylene or other plastic that has similar consistency or material properties, in particular flexibility and bending stiffness.

[0096] A further embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. 18 relates to a separate cable fastener 1 with a body 10. The 1,1 'cable fastener forms a separate channel range 13. The body 100 is made in the form of a plate with a base plate on which projections 17,18 protrude from the end edges 103.

[0097] Such projections 17, 18 in a given embodiment are shaped rectangular to the plane defined by the base plate, in an upright form, and adhere to the corner edges 103 and continue them. The projections 17, 18 extend in the longitudinal direction throughout the entire length of the cable fastening element 1 and are placed rectangular in the plane defined by the end edges 103. [0098] A surface with a range 111, 121 is formed at a given end remote from a given end edge 103 of the respective projection 17, 18 from which the individual projections 11, 12 protrude.

[0099] With respect to the first cable fastening element 1 which delimits the first range of the duct 13, the ranges 111, 121 located at the distal end 103 of the projection 17, 18 are referred to as opposite ranges 111,121.

[0100] In a given embodiment, the tabs 11, 12 - as in the other embodiments - include the first tab segment 113, 123 and the second tab segment 114, 124. The tab segments 11, 12 are L-shaped or hook-shaped and include two sections of projection 113, 114, 123, 124. Each projection 11, 12 contains the first projection section 113, 123 and the second projection section 114, 124. The first projection sections 113,

123 are arranged vertically and / or rectangularly to ranges 111, 121 from which they protrude. The second section of the projection 114, 124 continues the first section of the projection 113, 123, at its end, remote from the given range 111, 121.

[0101] The sections of the projection 113, 114, 123, 124 are made of one piece and formed of a flat element. In this case, curved profile rods are used as projections 11, 12. Such profile rods or flat elements have between the first and second projection sections 113, 114, 123,

124 an angular section or arc 115, 125. This arc 115, 125 can be made in such a way that both sections of the projection 113, 114, 123, 124 form an angle of less than 90 °, in this case about 75 °.

[0102] The second sections of the projection 123, 124 protrude from the end of the first section of the projection towards the opposite range 111, 121. The individual projections 11, 12 are arranged in a comb arrangement, i.e. they are located at a distance from each other and facing in the same direction, all tabs 11.12 protruding from the same range 111, 121 of the first cable fastening element 1.1 'have the same distance to adjacent tabs 11, 12. Tabs 11.12 protrude from points in ranges 111, 121, which are located on common straight lines 116, 117. Opposite tabs 11.12 enter into each other without contact, with ends 110, 120 tabs 11, 12 or ends 110.120 of second sections of tab 114 , 124, are close to each other without contact.

[0103] Each end 110, 120 of the respective tab 11, 12 is disposed between the two tabs 11,12 protruding from the opposite range 111, 121 or falls within the intermediate range between the two tabs 11, 12 protruding from the opposite range 111, 112. Individual ends 110 , 120, the tabs 11, 12 or the second sections of the tabs 114, 124 are arranged in such a way that the tabs 11, 12 extending from the opposite range 111, 112 do not come into contact with them. In a given embodiment, all tabs 11, 12 have the same structure and orientation and do not come into contact with each other.

[0104] The position of the projections 11, 12 occurs in such a way that the extent of the channel 13 has a closed or U-shaped channel cross section. [0105] In a given embodiment, the cable fastening element 1 comprises four first tabs 11 and four second tabs 12. The ends of the second tab sections 123, 124 face the common body 100 or the plane defined by the end edges 103. [0106] For easy assembly, two fasteners 107 are provided within the base plate that allow the cable attachment 50 to be detachably attached without using tools to / with the device 60 and / or with its rack 61.

[0107] The projections 11, 12 are in a given embodiment of the invention made in a flexible and resilient manner and consist of a plastic material, namely polypropylene. The consistency of polypropylene is selected in such a way that the projections 11, 12 exhibit bending rigidity and flexibility that allow the individual projections 11, 12 to fit so that cable 2 can be inserted by pressing the projections 11, 12 into the range of channel 13. After bending, tabs 11, 12 return to their original position. Alternatively, the cable fastening element 1 can also be made of polyethylene or other flexible and resilient material.

[0108] When inserting the cable 2, the tabs 11, 12 are bent towards the body 10 or the common body 100 due to the pressure of the cable 2 and allow the cable 2 to get to the cross section of the channel. When the cable is in the cross-section of the duct, the tabs 11 return to their starting position due to their flexibility. The projections 11, 12 are thus in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable fastening element 1 resilient or flexible.

[0109] The shown flat projections 11, 12 protrude from the ranges 111, 121 and delimit the range of the channel 13. The projections 11, 12 are made as bent profile parts and have a flat profile with a constant cross section in the direction of the run. The direction of the projection 11,12 leads on a plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable fastening element 1. The flat profile has a much greater elongation in the longitudinal direction of the cable fastening element 1 than in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable fastening element 1. A ratio of 4: 1 to 4: 1.5, in particular 4: 1.3, is advantageous, as already mentioned. , between the extension of the maximum dimension of the flat profile of the tongue 11, 12 in the longitudinal direction of the cable fastening element 1 and the dimension of the profile of the tongue 11,12 in a direction perpendicular to it.
