Abstract

A cable guide, comprising: a cylindrical pivot portion having a handle portion integrally formed at its outside in radial direction, and a draw-out port formed from the inside of the pivot portion to penetrate through the base end of the handle portion; a reel-in portion having an internal receiving space, which pivots on the outside of the pivot portion to conduct relative rotation; a flexible cord made of polyester monofilament material, one end of which is wound in the receiving space and the other end of which is connected with a drag-head to be located at the outside of the draw-out port; and an circular-arc shape guiding portion formed at the lower edge of the draw-out port and inclined from inside to outside. In this manner, the linearity and the capacity of enduring high squeezing force of the flexible cord can be raised, and the frictional force between the draw-out port is relatively reduced.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cable guide, comprising
 a cylindrical portion radially outwardly and integrally formed with a handle portion which is provided with a draw-out port passing through a base end of the handle portion for communication with the inside of the cylindrical portion;   a reel-in portion having an internal receiving space and rotatably attached to the cylindrical portion so as to be rotated with respect to the cylindrical portion;   a flexible cord made of polyester monofilament material, one end of which is wound in the receiving space and the other end of which is connected with a drag-head located outside the draw-out port so as to guide a cable to shuttle across a cable duct.   
   
   
       2 . A cable guide as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the inner lower surface of the draw-out port is rounded and outwardly sloped down so as to form a cable guide. 
   
   
       3 . A cable guide as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cross section of said flexible cord is in form of a flat and wide tetragon. 
   
   
       4 . A cable guide as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the flexible cord are outwardly bulged along a longitudinal direction of the flexible cord into a round ridge. 
   
   
       5 . A cable guide as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said flexible cord is made of polyester monofilament cord twisted in one direction so as to form a coiled shape, the cross section of which is substantially in an oval form with a major axis and a minor axis.
