Abstract

An improved structure of a communication line connecting box comprises a first case, a second case, a spacer, a curled reed, and a conductive wire. The first case is installed with a plurality of check bodies, the second case is installed with a plurality of wedge shape grooves. The first case is combined with the second case. The wedge shape grooves and the check bodies are formed as a check structure. The spacer is pivotally arranged between the first case and the second case. The curled reed is arranged between the spacer and the second case. The curled reed has an inner hook and an outer hook which are connected to the spacer and the second case, respectively. The conductive wire is disposed between the spacer and the first case. The conductive wire is positioned on one side of the spacer. Two ends of the conductive wire penetrated out of the first case and the second case. Two ends of the conductive wire are connected to respective connector. Thereby, an improved structure of a communication line connecting box with a simple structure is formed, which can be assembled easily.

Claims

1. A communication line storage apparatus comprising:

(a) a housing having a first case section and a second case section coaxially coupled thereto in angularly displaceable manner, each of said first and second case sections having a substantially planar face and a substantially annular rim projecting transversely therefrom, said rim of said first case section having formed therein a plurality of through holes;

at least one of said first and second case section rims having formed at a terminal edge portion thereof a buckling groove, the other of said first and second case section rims having formed at a terminal edge portion thereof a buckling body for lockingly engaging said buckling groove;

at least one of said terminal edge portions having integrally formed thereon a plurality of radially protruding and resiliently deflectable check bodies angularly spaced one from the other, the other of said terminal edge portions having formed therein a plurality of radially recessed wedge shaped grooves angularly spaced one from the other for respectively engaging said check bodies;

(b) a spacer coaxially disposed in angularly displaceable manner between said first and second case sections;

(c) a resilient curled reed disposed between said spacer and said second case section, said curled reed having inner and outer hook ends coupled respectively to said spacer and said second case section; and

,

(d) a conductive wire having a pair of free end portions and a wound portion therebetween, said wound portion being disposed between said spacer and said first case section, each said free end portion passing through one said through hole of said first case section rim, each said free end portion terminating at a connector.

2. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said check bodies are formed to protrude radially outward from said terminal edge portion of said first case section rim, and said wedge shaped grooves are formed in said terminal edge portion of said second case section rim, said wedge shaped grooves being recessed radially outward.

3. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said check bodies are formed to protrude radially inward from said terminal edge portion of said second case section rim, and said wedge shaped grooves are formed in said terminal edge portion of said first case section rim, said wedge shaped grooves being recessed radially inward.

4. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said first case section has formed projecting axially from said face thereof an axle body, and said second case section has formed on said face thereof a protrusion defining relative to said rim thereof a gap, said face of said second case section having an axle hole formed axially therethrough, said gap receiving said outer hook end of said curled reed.

5. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 4 wherein said spacer includes substantially planar first and second surfaces on opposing sides thereof, said first surface having projecting therefrom an annular sleeve portion and an annular conductive wire pillar portion concentrically disposed one relative to the other, said second surface having projecting therefrom a split axle body having a transverse gap defined therethrough, said sleeve portion engaging said axle body of said first case section, said split axle body engaging said axle hole of said second case section, said transverse gap of said split axle body receiving said inner hook end of said curled reed.

6. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said buckling body extends arcuately along said terminal edge portion of said first case section rim, and said buckling groove arcuately along said terminal edge portion of said second case section rim.

7. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said first and second case sections are secured together by a screw fastener.

8. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said first and second case sections are joined together by a high frequency adhered joint.

9. The communication line storage apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said first and second case sections are joined together by a thermally welded joint.
