BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a molding body for collectively wiring a power cable, a voice line cable, a speaker cable, a TV antenna cable, various communication cables and the like, and a connector plate attached to the molding body. More specifically, it is a through hole for pulling out a cable to install a connector plate on the wall of a new building or a remodeled building or a screw for installing a connector plate. The connector plate can be arranged at any position of the molding body without providing a stop mark or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When installing various connector plates such as outlets and cable connectors in a new building, the cables are buried in the back of the wall in the wall building process and the connector plate is placed at the position specified at the design stage after the completion of interior work. It is attached. The work procedure starts from the work of pulling out the internal cable by making a through hole in the cable position buried in the back side of the wall surface mounting position of the outlet or the connector plate in advance.

There are several working methods, but the most common method is the working method (1) which does not use piping or switch box on the back of the wall and the work using piping and embedded switch box on the back of the wall. The method (2) will be described.

Working method (1) A cable drawn out from a through hole in a wall surface has a length (about 40 to 50c) at which it is easy to connect various terminal connectors to the tip.
Then, the C-type scissors, which is a receiving material for attaching the connector plate, is turned from the wall surface hole of the structural wall or the like to the back side and temporarily fixed. Then, the cable is passed through the outlet plate mounting frame, and the wall material is sandwiched between these two members and fixed with screws to stabilize the mounting base of the connector plate. Next, after connecting a required connector to the tip of the cable, the connector is attached to an outlet plate to form an integrated connector plate. This connector plate is screwed to the outlet plate mounting frame, but at that time, 40 to 50
While pushing the cm cable into the wall surface, bring the connector plate into close contact with the wall surface. Then, the connector plate is screwed to the wall surface of the outlet plate mounting frame, and finally the mounting cover suitable for the connector plate is mounted to complete the process.

Work method (2) When installing an outlet and a connector plate to a new building, pipe material is placed on the back side of the wall in the wall building process, and an embedded switch box is placed on the back of the wall at the position specified at the design stage. Mounting, joint the piping material and the switch box for embedding, and finish the wall surface by sticking a wall board etc. to the part excluding this switch box for embedding. After finishing the interior work, pass the cable through the piping material to reach the embedded switch box, pull out the cable from the embedded switch box, and connect the various terminal connectors.
Cut, leaving a length of 40-50 cm. Next, the outlet plate mounting frame is passed through the cable and fixed to the embedded switch box with screws. Then, a required connector is connected to the tip of the cable, and the connected connector is attached to the outlet plate to form an integrated connector plate. Next, fix this connector plate to the outlet plate mounting frame with screws. At that time, while pushing the cable of 40 to 50 cm necessary for the connection work of the terminal connector into the switch box for embedding, make the connector plate adhere to the wall surface Fasten with screws to the plate mounting frame. Finally, attach the mounting plate cover that matches the connector plate to complete the process.

However, in all of these working methods, since the outlet plate is attached to the wall surface for guiding the cable out from the back of the wall surface, the position of the connector plate once installed is changed unless a large-scale reform is performed.
It cannot be added or removed, and when the connector plate once attached to the wall surface is removed, the through hole and the attachment mark of the connector plate are left on the wall surface under the present circumstances.

On the other hand, when the positions of various connectors are changed or added to the existing property, a method of exposing the cable with general-purpose molding piping material and screwing the exposed switch box to the wall surface is also conceivable. If the exposed switch box is directly attached to the wall, the exposed switch box protrusion and the outlet plug protrusion cause unnecessary space in the surroundings, which not only restricts the installation of furniture, but also when the position of the connector plate changes. The change work is extremely troublesome, takes a lot of time, and cannot be changed freely. Also, after removal, the exposed box marks and screw holes will remain on the wall surface.
