DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiring apparatus which enables a communication line and an information outlet to be efficiently wired and stored in an office or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent progress of office automation (OA) in offices and the like, many wirings have been routed to living spaces. Particularly, in offices and the like where an in-house LAN is constructed, communication lines are laid all over the place, and if left unattended, they are attached to information outlets such as rosettes that play a role of relaying communication lines, or at the ends of communication lines. Modular jacks and the like are scattered everywhere, resulting in a significant decrease in office functionality.

[0003] In such offices and the like, the information outlet is attached to the back or side plate of the desk using a magnet or the like, and the modular jack is connected to the top of the desk via a wiring storage space formed in an appropriate part of the desk. It is customary to always pull it out at a time.

[0004]

However, when the information outlet is attached to the back plate or the side plate, it can be effectively evacuated at least from the top plate or from the feet, but the information outlet and the modular jack that enters and exits the information outlet can be removed. Because it is exposed to the outside, it is easy to impair the appearance. Further, since the modular jack cannot be inserted and removed from the seating position, there is a problem that workability is extremely deteriorated. on the other hand,
If you always pull out the modular jack on the top board, it is good while using the OA equipment, but even when you are not using the OA equipment, the extra wiring length of the modular jack is randomly routed on the top board. This causes a disadvantage that the function of the top plate is greatly reduced.

[0005] As means for solving such a problem,
Recently, a case that forms a wiring space communicating with the space under the top plate is attached to a part of the top plate, and an information outlet having an insertion port is arranged in the wiring space via a holder. Some have been developed. However, in this case, the mounting posture of the information outlet is limited to the posture in which the insertion port is directed into the wiring space, and the upper surface of the holder has a structure also serving as a lid member for closing the wiring space. For this reason,
When the modular jack is connected to the information outlet for a long period of time, the holder and the extra wiring length can be effectively hidden in the wiring space or the space under the top plate, which is effective. For OA equipment that is frequently inserted and removed, the holder must be removed from the case each time the modular jack is connected to and removed from the information outlet, and this is extremely inconvenient. Also, the wiring with the modular jack attached to the tip must be always drawn out on the top plate.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a position in which an information outlet is provided with a degree of freedom so that a modular jack can be easily inserted and removed from at least a top plate. It is configured to selectively capture a posture that enables the information outlet and the extra wiring length to be completely concealed from the top plate.

[0007]

This is also simple when the modular jack 22a is to be attached to and detached from the top plate 3 with respect to the outlet 6c of the outlet 6.

In this case, since the resin spring 25a serving as an elastic body is interposed between the holder 1 and the case 6, a simple engagement / disengagement operation can be realized without impairing an appropriate engagement function. In particular, the resin hinge 25a is
Since it forms a part of the component of the concave groove 25 that engages with the other, a separate spring component can be unnecessary, and at the same time, it is most preferable to engage the claw portion 16 with the engaging recess 26. An elastic biasing force can be brought into the site.

Further, as another engagement structure between the holder 1 and the case 5, the downward surfaces 1z and 1y of the holder 1 are supported by the support portions 17 and 17a projecting from the inner surface of the case 5, respectively. Therefore, not only can the inconvenience of the holder 1 dropping into the wiring storage space A due to an operation error of the engaging portion not only be effectively prevented, but also the rattling at the time of engagement can be eliminated, and the holder 1 and the information outlet 6 can be prevented. A stable mounting state can be realized.

Further, a cover member 13 is attached to the case 5 at a position where the wiring storage space A is sealed, so that the information outlet 6 can be selectively exposed upward as the cover member 13 is opened and closed. Therefore, even when the information outlet 6 is attached to any of the attachment portions 50 and 60, it is possible to effectively prevent the information outlet 6 from being unnecessarily viewed from the outside.

Particularly, in this embodiment, a slide plate 13d is provided on the lid member 13, and the holder 1 is provided with the first mounting portion 50.
And when the slide plate 13d is opened, the insertion port 6c of the information outlet 6 is configured to be exposed upward, so that the convenience in using the insertion port 6c is not impaired. The appearance of the plate 3 can be effectively adjusted. Further, a clip 71 serving as a hook portion for hooking the modular jack 22a is provided at a position avoiding the first and second mounting portions 50 and 60 of the holder 1 as needed, so that the floor 1 Even when the modular jack 22a is simply attached to the end of the communication line 22 rising from the wall, it is possible to effectively balance a good standby state when unnecessary and a simple usability when necessary. .

This wiring device can be used not only with the desk 2 as described above, but also with an overhanging desk or a table. Further, the case of the present invention is not limited to the case mounted on the opening window provided in the limited area of the top plate as in the above embodiment. For example, in a top plate in which an opening window is provided over substantially the entire width direction of the top plate and a duct forming member for forming a wiring duct is mounted on the opening window,
The duct forming member may be effectively used as a case of the present invention.

[0033]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects. First,
The wiring device according to the present invention has a first mounting portion in which a mounting position of an information outlet is provided with a degree of freedom through a holder, an insertion port faces upward, and a modular jack can be easily inserted and removed from a top plate. Since it can be selectively attached to the second mounting part that allows the information outlet and extra wiring length to be completely concealed from the top panel by removing the inside, various communication lines for handling OA equipment Respond flexibly to the connection state,
It is possible to realize a functional and efficient wiring mode when the OA device is used, and a good standby state of the communication line when the OA device is not used.

In this case, if the first mounting portion is constituted by a through hole for inserting the information outlet and an engaging element for holding the information outlet, the insertion port can be properly positioned by a simple mounting operation. Can be obtained. On the other hand, the second
If the information outlet is magnetically attracted to an upright wall provided on the holder, the attachment portion can be extremely easily attached and detached, and can be handled without trouble even for a nonstandard information outlet.

If the holder is detachable from the case, the work of replacing the information outlet with the holder or the work of attaching and detaching the modular jack to and from the information outlet in the second mounting portion can be easily performed at the position where the work is removed from the top plate. And the workability can be more effectively improved. Further, when one end of the holder is engaged with the corresponding portion of the case, and then the other end of the holder is engaged with the corresponding portion of the case while rotating the holder, the holder is not in contact with the case. In addition to facilitating insertion and removal, it is possible to improve convenience when using the information outlet provided in the second mounting portion.

In this case, if the holder is urged toward the predetermined engagement position by the elastic body, both a proper engagement state and good engagement / disengagement operability can be achieved. When the elastic body is a resin spring that constitutes a part of the engagement element, the number of parts can be reduced and the design can be made extremely efficient in bringing in elastic force. .

Further, when the downward surface of the holder is supported by the support portion provided on the case, the holder is effectively prevented from being accidentally dropped into the space under the top plate, and the accuracy of the work is improved. Can be improved, and at the same time, a good mounting state without rattling of the information outlet can be realized. On the other hand, if the case is provided with a lid member for opening and closing the information outlet, it is possible to effectively prevent the information outlet from being unnecessarily exposed and exposed on the top plate.

In this case, if a slide plate is provided on the lid member, the appearance of the top plate can be adjusted during use while maintaining good usability of the insertion port. Furthermore, when a holder such as a clip is provided on the holder, it is also effective in a mode in which a modular jack is attached to the end of the communication line rising from the floor or wall instead of an information outlet. Can respond.
