Abstract

A clamp structure for a cord that improves workability during clamping a cord with using a strip band. The clamp structure includes a polarity board 1, and a connector portion 2 projectingly provided on a side surface of the polarity board 1. A corner 3 is formed by the polarity board 1 and the connector portion 2. A cord 4 is provided for transmitting a signal from a rotary switch portion 5a, and a cover 8 is provided for covering a circuit board 7 and the polarity board 1. A strip band 9 formed of resin in a strip form is provided having a lock portion 9a at one end. An engaging portion 10 is formed integral with a side surface of the connector portion 2, which is engaged with the inserted strip band 9. The cover 8 has a guide portion 11 triangular in section provided at a location adjacent to the engaging portion 10 so that the tip end of the strip band 9 inserted through the engaging portion 10 is guided along the guide surface 11 to an outside of the polarity board 1.
