Abstract

A winding device includes a case that includes a cable lead-out path, a rotating body that is accommodated in the case and is supported to be rotatable, and a cable that has one end connected to the rotating body to be wound in the case and the other end passing through the cable lead-out path of the case to be pulled out to an outside of the case. In the winding device, a first foreign substance removing portion and a second foreign substance removing portion which remove foreign substances pulled in together with the cable, are provided in the cable lead-out path, and the second foreign substance removing portion is capable of removing the foreign substances smaller than the foreign substances that are removable by the first foreign substance removing portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A winding device comprising:
a case that includes a cable lead-out path; a rotating body that is accommodated in the case and is supported to be rotatable; and a cable that has one end connected to the rotating body to be wound in the case and the other end passing through the cable lead-out path of the case to be pulled out to an outside of the case, wherein a first foreign substance removing portion and a second foreign substance removing portion which remove foreign substances pulled in together with the cable, are provided in the cable lead-out path, and the second foreign substance removing portion is capable of removing the foreign substances smaller than the foreign substances that are removable by the first foreign substance removing portion.

2 . The winding device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first foreign substance removing portion is capable of removing the foreign substances having an outer diameter equal to or greater than 1 mm.

3 . The winding device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second foreign substance removing portion includes a sliding member that slides on a surface of the cable moving in the cable lead-out path.

4 . The winding device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the sliding member is formed of a porous elastic material.

5 . The winding device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the sliding member includes a plurality of first tongue-like portions slidable on one side of the cable and a plurality of second tongue-like portions slidable on the other side of the cable, the first and second tongue-like portions are disposed alternately in the pulling-in direction of the cable.

6 . A wiring structure comprising:
the winding device according to claim 1 , wherein the case is provided in a vehicle body, and the cable pulled out of the case is connected to an electrical device of a moving body provided to be slidable with respect to the vehicle body.

7 . The wiring structure according to claim 6 ,
wherein the moving body is a slide seat provided to be slidable with respect to a floor of the vehicle body.

8 . The wiring structure according to claim 6 ,
wherein the moving body is a movable roof which is provided to be slidable with respect to a roof of the vehicle body.
