Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a flat cable reeling device reducing a size. A flat cable reeling device includes a case housing a flat cable, a center shaft provided in the case and fixing a first end side of the flat cable, a rotating table rotatively provided, centering on the center shaft, and a biasing means biasing the rotating table in a reeling direction of the flat cable. The rotating table is provided with a plurality of rollers adapted to reel the flat cable from an outside of the case along a circumferential direction of the rotating table. The rotating table is integrally provided with a disk-like table main body and a plurality of guiding portions formed to project from an upper surface of the table main body, and the plurality of guiding portions rotatively support the respective rollers and guide the respective rollers to be slidable in a radial direction of the rotating table.

Claims (13)

1. A flat cable reeling device reeling a first end side of a flat cable and leading out a second end side thereof, comprising:

a case housing the flat cable;

a center shaft provided in the case and fixing the first end side of the flat cable;

a rotating table rotatively provided, centering on the center shaft;

a plurality of rollers adapted to reel the flat cable from an outside of the case; and

a biasing means biasing the rotating table in a reeling direction of the flat cable, wherein

the rotating table is integrally provided with a disk-like table main body and a plurality of guiding portions formed to project from an upper surface of the table main body,

the table main body is provided with the plurality of rollers adapted to reel the flat cable from the outside of the case arranged along a circumferential direction of the table main body, and

the plurality of guiding portions are provided at respective positions at which the respective rollers are arranged, rotatively support the respective rollers, and guide the respective rollers to be slidable in a radial direction of the rotating table.

2. The flat cable reeling device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the rollers integrally includes a shaft portion as a rotation center,

each of the guiding portions includes a pair of supporting portions inserting the shaft portion therebetween and rotatively supporting the shaft portion, and

the pair of supporting portions is provided to extend in a direction parallel to the radial direction of the rotating table.

3. The flat cable reeling device according to claim 2 , wherein the roller is configured to integrally include a disk portion, a circumferential wall erected in a cylindrical shape from a circumference of the disk portion, and the shaft portion erected in a columnar shape from the disk portion in the same direction as that of the circumferential wall, and each of the supporting portions as the pair includes an opposed surface opposed in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the rotating table and inserting the shaft portion therebetween and an arc-like sliding surface provided to continue into the opposed surface and sliding on an inner circumferential surface of the circumferential wall.
