Description

The purpose of my invention is to hide the wires the wires behind the television furniture with their accessories, video recorder, decoder, demodulator etc.

Hi-fi furniture and its accessories, CDs, cassette players, etc.

Computers with their accessories, printer, scanner etc.

This represents about a dozen wires and cables that wander awfully and dangerously behind the furniture and often on the ground.

My invention consists in helping housewives and cleaning women. My idea is to make a wooden box to insert all the wires and cables. Only a power extension cable and a telephone extension wire could be visible, depending on the location of the power wall outlets.

This box will allow easy cleaning between the wall and the furniture, a dust collecting place, less problem of disconnection, or torn wires, less risk in case of water damage.

The drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure (1) shows the box behind the cabinet. Figure (2) shows the description of the parts making up its assembly.

Figure (3) shows some power wires behind a computer desk with the bulkhead (6) removed.

The box (1) will be 50 or 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 cm etc. depending on the furniture, and with a depth of 35 cm with the thickness of the cover (2). This cover (2) will be 3cm longer, i.e. 1.5 cm on each side, for easy lifting The cover (2) , the sides and the bottom (4) can either be varnished pine or laminated wood the color of the furniture to make a set.

The width of the box (1) will be 7.5 cm, its length will be 10 cm shorter than the cabinet to which it will be attached.

The cover (2) will have a notch (3) of 1.5 cm to let the passage of the wires of the devices, battens (9) of 1 cm side will be glued to center and prevent it from moving.

The bottom and sides (4) will be grooved (10) 1 cm deep, 1 cm wide and 1 cm from the outside edge to allow the passage of the partition (6), made of plywood and 0 mm thick. , 7 cm.

Two brackets (7) made of iron or plastic, will be attached to the sides (4) to maintain the base, and for good assembly.

Holes with a diameter of 4.5 cm will be drilled for the purpose of passing electrical outlets.

They can also be used for cables leaving the cabinet under the box (2) to be collected or connected to other wires, or even connected to extension cables, and especially to wall sockets, where you will no longer be required to connect triple sockets.

Two iron fixing lugs (8) will be screwed to the sides (4) to hold the box (1) to the furniture.

In the box (2), other extenders (11) will be placed to accept all the desired devices and leave only one cable out.

Clothespins (12) will tighten the wires at the holes (5) and inside the box (1) to keep them taut, without blocking them in the event of accidental hanging.

Claims (3)
