Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an improved decorative panel, and more particularly to an improved decorative panel that closes a front opening of an outlet box through which a terminal of indoor wiring is guided.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 Generally, indoor wiring terminals are guided through the wall to an outlet box, and the outlet box is inside the wall and is fixed to a pillar, etc., and the conducting wire led to the outlet box is connected to an outlet or a switch. An electric path member such as a ground is connected, and the decorative panel is fixed by a screw in accordance with a window hole formed so that the operating portion of the electric path member is exposed to the room.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In addition, the above-mentioned electric circuit member is usually caulked to a metal mounting plate, and after mounting the mounting plate to the outlet box with screws, the mounting work of the decorative panel is performed, which is a troublesome process. In addition, the outlet box is often installed near the floor because of the aesthetics of the room, which makes it difficult to install it.

[0004]

[Purpose of the invention]

 Therefore, the present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned conventional circumstances and problems. By solving these problems and eliminating the need for a mounting plate at all, the work efficiency is improved and the operation is simplified. The purpose is to provide a decorative panel that can achieve

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, the decorative panel according to the present invention is a decorative panel that closes the front opening of the outlet box, and a window hole formed in the decorative panel is integrally equipped with an electric path member. The support member is provided in the vicinity of the window hole on the back surface of the decorative panel, and the electric circuit member is detachably provided.

[0006]

[Action]

 The above configuration eliminates the need for a mounting plate and eliminates the work related to the mounting plate.A decorative panel can be attached to the front opening of the outlet box with ease close to one touch. In addition, it can be removed for repairs.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a decorative panel embodying the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the same, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a main part of a corresponding outlet box, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the same.

In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a decorative panel, which is vertically long and has insertion holes 2 and 2 formed at upper and lower central positions through which fastening screws are inserted. .

A window hole 4 is formed in the center of the decorative panel so as to expose the contact portion 3a of the electric path member 3 to be attached to the operation portion or the electric device to the front (inside the room). On the back surface of the decorative panel 1, supporting members 5, 5 such as angle members are provided in the vicinity of the window 4, and the electric circuit member 3 is detachably mounted by the supporting members 5, 5. .

The detachable equipment of the electric path member 3 by the supporting members 5 and 5 is for enabling replacement of only the decorative panel 1 or the electric path member 3 at the time of repair or the like. Assuming that the electric circuit member 3 is also replaced, the electric circuit member 3 can be solidified in a non-separable state by using an adhesive agent to the window hole 4 of the decorative panel 1.

On the other hand, reference numeral 6 in the drawing denotes an outlet box to which the decorative panel 1 is screwed. Usually, this outlet box 6 is attached to a pillar or the like in the wall, but if the pillar is not always vertical and this is tilted, this outlet box 6 will also be mounted in a tilted state, but the interior aesthetics The decorative panel 1 must be installed straight in order to maintain

Conventionally, the adjustment of the mounting angle is performed by inserting a screw into a long hole provided in the mounting plate. However, if the mounting plate is removed, the mounting angle may not be adjusted. . Therefore, in the present invention, the screw insertion hole 7 in the outlet box 6 is a long hole in order to further exert the advantages of the decorative panel 1 described above.

Further, when the material of the outlet box 6 is plastic, if the load on the screw insertion hole 7 is large in the centering work at the time of screw insertion, damage such as cracking or chipping may occur. Therefore, in the present invention, a reinforcing member 8 made of metal and having a shape matching the inner shape of the screw insertion hole 7 is fitted into the screw insertion hole 7, and the reinforcing member 8 directly applies the load of the screw. It is supposed to be received.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 The decorative panel according to the present invention is configured as described above. Therefore, since the mounting plate can be eliminated altogether, the work related to the mounting plate is eliminated, and it is possible to mount or dismount the decorative panel or the electric circuit member to or from the outlet box with a simple screwing work. Is significantly improved and the physical burden on the operator is reduced.
