[0011]

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a wiring storage device according to the present invention. This wiring storage device,
The left and right lower supports (2) and (2) are provided with a pair of left and right lower supports (2) and (2) which are erected on the pedestal (1). ) To form a stable frame.

An upper column is provided outside the upper portion of each lower column (2).
(5) is slidably fitted in the vertical direction from above. A wiring box (6) is attached over the upper ends of the left and right upper supports (5) (5).

On the outer surface of the upper support (5), small holes (7) are provided.
The lower end is provided with a notch (8) which is recessed upward, and correspondingly, the outer surface of the lower support (2) is provided with a notch (3).
Two screw holes (9) are arranged in the vertical direction. Upper strut
Align the small hole (7) and the notch (8) of (5) with any two of the screw holes (9) of the lower support (2), and align them with the screw.
By screwing (10), the wiring box (6) attached to the upper end of the upper support (5) can be set at two upper and lower height positions.

At the left and right ends of the upper connecting rod 4, a U-shaped cable holder 11 facing downward when viewed from the front is provided with its front and rear portions projecting from the connecting rod 4. At the front and rear ends, a rectangular frame-shaped overhang portion (11a) made of a steel wire is fixed, and between the connecting rod (4) and each overhang portion (11a) is a winding core of an extra-long cable.

On the upper surface of the left and right ends of the lower connecting rod (3),
A box body (12) having an open top surface is fixed. This box (12)
Are conveniently used to house OA taps, cables, hubs and the like.

A cover member (13) for covering the front and rear of the left and right cable holders (11) and the box (12) is provided on each of the left, right and front sides. A large number of small holes (15) are formed in the cover member (13), and a horizontally long hook (14) having an L-shaped cross-section is projected above and below the back surface of the cover member (13). Have been. The cover member (13) is detachably attached by hooking these hooks (14) on the upper end of the projecting portion (11a) of the cable holder (11) and the upper opening of the box (12).

On the upper surface of the wiring box (6), a power outlet (16a) and network outlets (16b) are arranged over the entire length.

FIG. 2 shows an example in which the wiring storage device of the present invention is used by sandwiching it between two desks (A) facing each other in front and rear. The wiring box (6) protrudes upward from the desk top plate (B). The lower surface of the wiring box (6) is above the upper surface of the top plate, and the upper column (5) can be adjusted to the two upper and lower positions so that a slight gap is formed between the upper box and the top plate. It is fixed to the lower column (2) at the upper position among the various positions.

In this position, as shown in FIG.
For example, plug of power cord (17a) of notebook personal computer (17)
(18) into the power outlet (16a) of the wiring box (6), and insert the extra length of the power cord (17a) into the wiring box.
Through the gap formed between the lower surface of (6) and the top plate, it can be drawn into the wiring storage device. If the extra length is long, it can be wound around the cable holder (11).

FIG. 3 similarly shows the wiring storage device of the present invention,
An example is shown in which the device is used between two desks. Wiring box
In (6), the upper support (5) is positioned at the lower position of the two vertically adjustable positions so that the upper support is substantially flush with the top surface of the desk. ).

In this position, as shown in FIG.
For example power cord (17a) or cable plug (18)
Is inserted into the power outlet (16a) exposed on the top panel. This example is suitable for an OA device having almost no extra length.

If the upper surface of the wiring box (6) is substantially the same as the upper surface of the top plate, a wide flat surface can be secured, and the wiring box (6) does not become an obstacle even if the drawing is expanded.

FIG. 6 shows a modification in which the width is substantially half that shown in FIGS. This case is also the same as the above-described embodiment, except that the length in which the outlets can be juxtaposed is reduced.

[0024]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the upper column is raised and supported until the lower surface of the wiring box projects above the upper surface of the tabletop of the desk, and the electric power used on the tabletop is increased. From the left and right arbitrary positions on the extra length cables of the equipment,
The wiring box can be taken in and housed in the wiring housing body from the gap on the lower surface of the wiring box.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the extra-length cable introduced into the main body of the wiring storage device can be wound up and stored in the cable holder from the gap on the lower surface of the wiring box.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the wound extra-length cable does not fall off the cable holder.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the pair of lower supports are connected at the upper and lower portions thereof, the frame structure can be made strong and the box attached to the lower connecting rod. OA taps, cables, hubs and the like can be stored in the body.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the cover member, which is lightened by forming a large number of small holes, utilizes the cable holder fixed to the connecting pipe without using any special member. By detaching the cover member, it becomes easy to wind up the cables and the like in the cable holding portion and to repair and inspect the storage devices such as the cable connector.

Further, heat radiation from the cables is promoted by the large number of small holes.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the mounting of the cover member becomes more reliable.
