DESCRIPTION

Wall socket OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The purpose of the present invention application is to register a socket designed to protect the lower areas of the walls, which constitutes a considerable advantage over the sockets used so far, as it is quick, simple and economical to place.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is usual to place sockets, also called skirting boards or moldings, at the base of the partitions or walls of the rooms as an aesthetic element and to protect them from bumps or scratches. They are made of various materials, especially wood or ceramic.

Depending on the material in which the wall is constructed, they are fixed to it with screws, nails or by impregnating adherent substances on its rear face prior to placement. In the case of screws or nails, placement is simple, but even covering them with wax, imperfection is noticeable to the naked eye. There is the possibility of lacquering the baseboard once placed, but it is an extremely expensive process. In the case of impregnating adherent substances, the process is carried out manually by an operator and is more complex, so the cost of placement is somewhat high.

Therefore, there is still a need for an economical base to place and that allows a finish without visual defects. The present invention contributes to solve and solve the existing lack.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been developed in order to provide a socket that is configured as a novelty within the field of application and that resolves the aforementioned setbacks.

The skirting board object of this invention is designed for placement at the base of the walls, although it is not limited thereto. It is defined, in its condition of use, by an anterior face that is the one that is visible, and a posterior face that is the one in contact with the wall. These faces share a lower edge, which is adjacent to the ground, and an upper edge. On the rear face, the socket comprises a tape adhered adjacent to the upper edge and which is adhesive on both sides. This tape is used to easily and quickly fix the base to the wall, without the need to place nails or manually impregnate the base with an adherent substance.

Preferably, in cases where it is considered appropriate to seal the edge of the socket in its area of contact with the wall, the tape is placed at least one millimeter away from the upper edge. Likewise and for the same purpose, it is preferable that the tape is one millimeter thick. In this way, the sealant can penetrate between the socket and the wall, and make a better seal.

On the other hand, to ensure adequate adhesion of the socket to the wall, it is advisable that the tape is at least one and a half centimeters wide. In turn, to prevent the tape from sticking to any place before its placement, it comprises a non-stick protector on the side not adhered to the socket, which is removable by the operator prior to its placement.

Advantageously, to allow wiring to pass through the inside of the socket, it longitudinally comprises a groove or recess in the rear surface.

In conclusion, thanks to this invention, a simple and economical solution to protect and decorate the base of the walls is achieved. These and other features of the socket object of the present invention will be apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings.
