Alternatively, after embedding a frame body having an open front surface and fixing an outlet to a mounting portion of the frame body, the opening of the frame body is closed with a makeup cover, A window hole for exposing a plug insertion hole of an outlet is provided, and the above-mentioned makeup cover is provided with a cutout through which a power cord of a target electric product can be inserted. A space for accommodating a wiring cord for an outlet is provided below the frame, and the frame is provided with a corner portion in addition to a straight shape, and The installation position can be freely changed Preparative characterized, the end portion of the above-described frame end cover - is characterized in that is provided with, using the centralized outlet box as the electrical outlet,
The present invention is characterized in that a protector cover having an insertion hole through which a plurality of codes are inserted into the opening of the frame body is provided.

[0007]

[Advantage] By adopting the above configuration, the position of the outlet can be changed as required, and there is no restriction on the remodeling of the room or the installation of new furniture or equipment, resulting in unreasonable use. That is, accidents such as fires can be prevented.

[0008]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a centralized outlet box, FIG. 2 is a side view of the same end cover, and FIG. 3 is an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a standard external insertion type outlet. FIG. 4 is a side view of the outlet, FIG. 6 is a side view of the outlet cover, FIG. 7 is a plan view of the outlet, and FIG. 8 is a view of the decorative cover. FIG. 9 is an end view showing an example of a concealed type outlet, FIG. 10 is a side view of an outlet used similarly, FIG. 11 is a side view of an outlet cover, and FIG. is there.

In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a frame formed of a plastic material such as plastic or metal and buried in a space partition such as a wall or a floor. The frame 1 is a long body having an open upper surface, and is provided with outlet mounting portions 2 and 2 in a parallel rail shape on the inner edge of the upper surface opening. Further, through holes 3 are formed in the frame 1 at corner portions along the longitudinal direction.

On the other hand, reference numeral 4 in the figure denotes an end cover of the frame 1, which is cut at an arbitrary length and at a desired position. 4a protruding from
4a ... can be detachably attached by fitting.
That is, if necessary, the end cover -4 is once removed, and a different frame 1 is connected to the frame 1 by using connection pins, screws, adhesives, or the like using the through holes 3. It can be connected and extended by use. Also, angles and arcs
When the frame-shaped frame 1 is interposed, the connection of the frame 1 can be freely extended not only in a straight line but also in a matrix, and the number of required outlets can be increased.

Further, receiving grooves 5.5 are formed on the upper surface of the mounting portions 2.2, and ridges 6a formed on the back surface of the decorative cover 6 with respect to the receiving grooves 5.5. 6a is fitted to close the upper opening of the frame 1; By giving the makeup cover 6 a colorful or patterned pattern, it is possible to make the interior interior elegant.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a centralized outlet box 7 in which a plurality of outlets 7a are arranged in parallel is used. The centralized outlet box 7 is fixed inside the frame 1. As a fixing method, a rail type, an insertion type, a screw fixing type, or a wall surface of the frame 1, Various types, such as a pinching type using a squeeze, can be considered.

When the centralized outlet box 7 is used, a protector cover 8 is attached to the frame 1. The protector cover 8 is provided with through holes 8a through which the cords 9 pass.
Are connected to a power supply, a distribution board, or the like, and the other end is connected to a terminal of the centralized outlet box 7.

Further, when a standard external plug-in type outlet 10 is used, the frame 1 is made to have no bottom, and a cord which is wired indoors and connected to the outlet 10 is provided on the bottom of the frame 1. Of the storage box 11 is screwed, inserted or attached using an adhesive or the like to form a space S for accommodating the code. The through holes 3.3
Are formed at the corners of the storage box 11.
When the storage box 11 is large,
It is also possible to form it with a metal plate or an iron plate and provide it separately.

The outlet 10 has plug insertion openings 10a, 10a formed in the exposed portion on the front or upper surface, and screw receiving holes 10b, 10b for fixing in the same direction as the insertion openings 10a, 10a. Is provided.

An outlet cover 12 is placed on the upper surface of the outlet 10 attached to the frame 1. This outlet cover 12 has an outlet 10 for the outlet 10.
A window hole 12a for exposing a.10a to the outside is provided, and a screw receiving hole 10b.10b of the outlet 10 is provided.
The insertion holes 12 for screwing the screws 13
b.12b are formed.

A decorative cover 6 is mounted on the frame 1 on the side of the outlet cover 12 by the same means as described above. The cosmetic cover 6 is prepared in a long form, and is cut to a required length for use.

Further, a concealed type outlet is used.
When using the outlet, the front or upper surface of the outlet 14 and the upper or front surfaces of the mounting portions 2 of the frame 1 are substantially flush with each other. The outlet 14 has a plug insertion port 14a formed on a side surface thereof.
3 ・ 13 receiving holes 14b ・ 14b are insertion holes 14a
-It is formed on a surface orthogonal to 14a.

In this case, the outlet cover 15 used is a non-porous one that conceals the entire outlet 14, but the screws 13 are inserted into the receiving holes 14b 14b of the outlet 14.
Only the insertion holes 15a, 15a are inserted.

In order to insert a plug into this concealed outlet 14, the decorative plate 6 slightly shifted from the installation position of the outlet 14 has the same diameter as or slightly smaller than the cord so as not to interfere with the ridge 6a. A hole is formed, a cut is formed from the hole to the end, and a code is formed in a slightly bent state, and then the cut is restored by returning the cut to its original position.

The outlet installation structure according to the present embodiment is configured as described above. If you want to change the position of the outlet when changing the interior design, etc.
And the outlet covers 12 and 15 are temporarily removed, and the outlets 10 and 14 are moved to an arbitrary position along the frame 1 and fixed at the new position. The closure can be performed by attaching the cosmetic cover 6.

[0022]

The outlet installation structure according to the present invention is configured as described above. Therefore, anyone can easily change the position of the outlet without requiring special skills,
The mounting form of the outlet can be exposed depending on the structure of the frame, the support, or the like, or the intermediate mounting can be selected as desired, and unexpected fires and the like can be prevented.
In addition, the coloring and pattern of the makeup cover make the interior more elegant and accentuate.
