Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wiring device, and more particularly to a wiring device in which a plug and an outlet are integrally connected.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, outlets connected to indoor wiring are mounted on the wall, and when using various electric devices such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, iron, microwave oven, heating equipment fixed to the wall, etc. , The plug at the end of the cord that connects to electrical equipment was plugged into an outlet and connected. The plug connected to the cord is an elongated, plate-like contact that has electrical conductivity and is projected with the plate surfaces facing each other.Each contact of the plug is inserted into the outlet. Possible insertion holes are lined up on the left and right, and a contact having conductivity is provided inside so that the contact can be held.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The plugging and unplugging of the plug into and from the outlet had to be done in a flat state along the length of the contactor, and the directionality was limited. Therefore, depending on the installation position of the furniture, the outlet is located near the furniture, making it difficult to insert and remove the plug.

Refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, heating appliances, etc. are stationary, so it is not necessary to insert the plug into the container once and then remove it during use. For heating appliances, etc., the plug was inserted into the outlet at the start of use, and the plug was removed after use. Therefore, plugs were often inserted and removed.

When the plug is repeatedly inserted and removed as described above, the plug insertion / removal direction is limited as described above. Therefore, when it is difficult to remove the plug straightly, it is necessary to shake it left and right to remove it. Sometimes. However, if it was forcibly pulled out, the contactor would be pulled out in a bent state, which was inconvenient for the next use. In particular, in such a case, the outlet itself could be destroyed, and the internal contactor also failed, causing a contact failure.

In the case of an electric device such as a vacuum cleaner that is used while moving in a room, when the cord is fully extended, the plug may be impacted and the plug may be forcibly pulled out. It was easy to cause such problems. Even if the plug could not be pulled out due to the impact, a tensile force was applied to the cord at the connection point with the plug in the lateral direction, which also caused disconnection of the cord at this connection point.

There is provided a wiring device in which a plug and an outlet are integrally connected and the outlet can be rotated up and down with respect to the plug. In this case, the plug is connected to the wall surface, and the plug of the electric device is inserted into an outlet integrated with the plug to be connected. This type of outlet has the advantage that the plug of electrical equipment can be easily inserted and removed by turning the outlet upward, but the cord that is in use, such as the above-mentioned vacuum cleaner, does not extend horizontally. Since it is with respect to the direction, it does not solve the problem in the case of an outlet that rotates only up and down, and it was not possible to prevent bending of the plug contactor, destruction of the wall outlet, disconnection, etc.

In view of various problems such as the relationship between the wall outlet and the plug and the wiring device in which the plug and the outlet are integrated when using various electric devices, the present invention provides a plug and an outlet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wiring device in which electrical outlets are connected to each other so that the outlet can be directed in the pulling direction of the cord when the electric device is moved.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a plug 2 connectable to a wall outlet and an outlet 3 connectable to a plug of an electric device, and the outlet 3 is connected to the front side of the plug 2 in an orthogonal state. The outlet 3 is rotatable in the left-right direction, and the plug 2 and the outlet 3 are electrically conductively connected. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the plug 2 and the outlet 3 are superposed on each other at a joint surface and pivotally coupled so as to be rotatable.

[0010]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the wiring device of the present invention, in each of which 1 is a wiring device body, and the wiring device body 1 is composed of a plug 2 and an outlet 3. .

The plug 2 has the same structure as the conventional one in which two contacts 4 are projected in parallel, and can be connected to a wall outlet. On the front side of the plug 2 opposite to the contactor 4, the outlet 3 having the contactor 6 inside the insertion hole 5 is connected in an orthogonal state and the outlet 3 is rotated in the left-right direction with respect to the plug 2. It is possible. A plug of an electric device can be connected to the outlet 3.

In order to make the outlet 3 rotatable, for example, a rotation guide body 7 is provided so as to project from the front side of the plug 2, and the base portion of the outlet 3 is fitted into the guide body 7 so as to be rotatable. It suffices to connect them, but another structure can be adopted as long as the plug 2 and the outlet 3 can be connected rotatably. In addition, inside the connection between the plug 2 and the outlet 3, both contacts 4 and 6 of the plug 2 and the outlet 3 are electrically connected.

In the above-mentioned structure, the plug 2 is connected to a wall provided on a wall (not shown) in the same manner as the conventional one. Plugs for connecting to various electric devices with cords may be inserted and connected in the insertion holes 5 of the outlet 3.

Since the outlet 3 is rotatable in the left-right direction with respect to the fixed plug 2, the plug of the electric device is connected when the cord is fully extended during use while moving like a vacuum cleaner. In this state, the outlet 3 rotates in the pulled direction. Further, when the cord is pulled, the plug can be pulled out straight from the outlet 3.

3 and 4 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the same parts as those in the above embodiment use the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, the plug 2 and the outlet 3 are vertically stacked and connected by a connecting shaft 8 penetrating therethrough. The plug 2 and the outlet 3 are rotatable on the joint surface about the connecting shaft 8, and the contacts 4 and 6 of the plug 2 and the outlet 3 are electrically connected at the connecting portion, as in the previous embodiment. ing. With such a configuration, when the plug 2 is inserted into the wall outlet, it becomes fixed and only the outlet 3 rotates in the left-right direction.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention described above, since the plug 2 and the outlet 3 which are electrically connected to each other inside are integrally connected, and the outlet 3 is rotatable in the left and right directions, it is connected to the wall outlet. , The outlet 3 becomes free with respect to the fixed plug 2.

Therefore, when the electric device is used, the outlet 3 can change its direction in response to the movement of the cord. Therefore, when the cord is pulled, an unreasonable impact is not given to the plug 2 against the wall outlet, and the connection failure or disconnection does not occur.

When the cord is fully extended during use of the electric device, the outlet 3 is oriented in the extension direction of the cord. Therefore, if the cord is forcibly pulled, the plug of the electric device is disconnected from the outlet 3. It will be pulled out easily and no unreasonable force will be applied to the plug 2, outlet 3, etc.

Further, when the outlet 3 is folded with respect to the plug 2 or when the plug 2 and the outlet 3 are superposed and pivotally connected like the wiring device of the second embodiment, the insertion hole of the socket 3 is inserted. By orienting 5 in the direction of the contactor 4 of the plug 2, the overall volume can be reduced, so that the packaging can be made small and not bulky.
