DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a fitting for mounting an outlet or a switch using a lightweight stud.
In particular, the present invention relates to a lightweight stud wiring fitting which allows a wiring fitting used in place of a box such as an outlet box to be directly attached to the stud.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, partitions using lightweight studs have been used.
To attach outlets and switches, a box support is mounted on a lightweight stud and a box is provided on the support. For example, in the box support fitting described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-26165 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-26166 previously proposed by the present applicant, a locking plate to be mounted inside the opening of the lightweight stud and an outside of the opening are provided. And a clamping plate attached to the plate is fastened by fastening bolts, and a substantially L-shaped box supporting rod is connected to these plates.

[0003]

However, according to such a conventional bracket, it is necessary to further attach a box to a supporting bracket attached to a lightweight stud in order to attach an outlet or a switch. Therefore, much work is required for the work of mounting the support bracket and the work of mounting the box.

In addition, since the conventional metal fittings rotate and lock the locking plate inside the lightweight stud with one fastening bolt,
If the holding plate is placed outside the opening, it is difficult to confirm the position of the locking plate, which may hinder the mounting operation.

Further, when mounting the box, it is necessary to adjust the mounting position of the box so that the box is mounted at an appropriate position.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the work of mounting the lightweight stud on the lightweight stud is extremely easy, and the connection state between the lightweight stud and the connecting body can be easily confirmed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lightweight stud wiring fitting that can be easily attached to an outlet or a switch without using a box.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a wiring bracket according to the present invention comprises a connecting member 1 connected to an opening P2 of a lightweight stud P, and a light-weight member which is bent and extended from the connecting member 1. A light weight stud wiring fitting comprising a mounting frame 2 having one of the side surfaces on which the board of the stud P is mounted, and a mounting hole 2A for directly mounting an outlet or a switch on the mounting frame 2. And a screw hole 2B for fixing the outlet and the switch in a position-adjustable manner, and a tongue-shaped locking piece 3 bent at the upper and lower side edges of the mounting frame 2.
In the wiring member for a lightweight stud, which selectively supports the flexible tube 30 and the pipe 20 on the locking piece 3, the connecting body 1 is in contact with the outside of the opening edge P1 of the lightweight stud P. A plate 1A, a fitting piece 1B fitted from the contact plate 1A into the opening P2 of the lightweight stud P, and a contact plate 1A
And a locking piece 2C rotatably connected with a fixing screw 5 to lock inside the opening edge P1 of the lightweight stud P. An arc-shaped operation hole 1D is opened in the plate surface of the contact plate 1A. The means for solving the problem is that the eccentric portion of the locking piece 3 is connected to the swinging rod 4 which is pierced and moves along the operation hole 1D.

[0008]

In other words, according to the present invention, the outlet and the switch can be directly mounted in the mounting holes of the mounting frame connected to the lightweight studs without mounting the box or the paint cover in the past.

At this time, the connection between the lightweight stud and the connector is
The operation is performed by locking the locking piece in the opening of the lightweight stud to the opening edge by operating the swinging rod.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

According to the present invention, a connecting body 1 connected to an opening P2 of a lightweight stud P and one of the side faces on which the board of the lightweight stud P is bent and extended from the connecting body 1 is mounted. (See FIG. 1).

The connecting body 1 includes a contact plate 1A that contacts the outside of the opening edge of the lightweight stud P, a fitting piece 1B that fits into the opening of the lightweight stud P from the contact plate 1A, and a contact plate. 1A has a locking piece 3 that is rotatably provided and locks inside the opening edge of the lightweight stud P. In the illustrated example, a connecting body 1 is formed at one end of the mounting frame 2 by bending one plate body. At the other end of the mounting frame 2, a partition plate 6 having substantially the same shape as the connecting body 1 is provided.

On the other hand, the locking piece 3 has a substantially parallelogram shape narrower than the width of the opening of the lightweight stud P, and its both ends are locked to the opening edge P1 inner edge of the lightweight stud P. (See FIG. 2). The locking piece 3 is formed by bending a band-shaped plate, and has a U-shaped cross section (see FIG. 3).

At this time, the connecting body 1 connects the band-shaped locking piece 3 rotatably with the fixing screw 5 and the contact plate 1A.
The eccentric portion of the locking piece 3 is connected to a swinging rod 4 that moves along an arc-shaped operation hole 1D opened in the plate surface of FIG.
reference). The illustrated swinging rod 4 uses a bolt similar to the fixing screw 5, and has a washer 4A interposed between the operation hole 1D and the bolt head (see FIG. 2). When such a locking piece 3 is used, the tip of the locking piece 3 is swing-adjusted by operating the swinging rod 4 and locked inside the opening edge P1 of the lightweight stud P. By tightening the bolt, the connector 1 is strongly fixed to the lightweight stud P together with the fixing screw 5 (see FIG. 3).

The mounting frame 2 is provided with a mounting hole 2A for directly mounting an outlet and switches. The mounting frame 2 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a plurality of pairs of screw holes 2B so that the mounting positions of the outlet and the switches can be adjusted.
The cables to be wired to the outlets and the switches are mounted on the mounting frame 2 using the pipes 20 and the flexible pipes 30 (see FIG. 4). At this time, a tongue-shaped locking piece 2C formed by bending is provided on the upper and lower side edges of the mounting frame 2, and the end of the flat tubular pipe 20 is directly inserted and locked, or the flexible tube 30 is mounted. The L-shaped bracket 10 is locked to facilitate mounting of the flexible tube 30 (see FIG. 1).

The mounting frame 2 shown in FIG. 5 is provided with a partition plate 6, and the partition plate 6 is provided with a connecting hole 1A formed in the connecting body 1, a connecting hole 6A overlapping with the operating hole 1D, and an operating hole 6B. By doing so, it is possible to cope with the case where the pair of wiring fittings of the present invention is used in combination and outlets and switches are installed at the same position on the front and back of the wall.

[0017]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned configuration achieves the original object.

That is, according to the present invention, the mounting of the lightweight stud and the connecting member can be easily performed by operating the swinging rod. In addition, since the position of the locking piece provided inside the lightweight stud can be easily grasped, it is possible to easily confirm the attachment state of the connecting body to the lightweight stud.

Further, since the fitting of the present invention can be mounted without using a box in the past, which requires the use of a box, the fitting of the present invention can be easily and securely mounted on a lightweight stud. This can further simplify the wiring work without using such a box.

As described above, according to the present invention, the work of mounting on the lightweight stud is extremely easy, the outlet and the switches can be easily attached without using a box, and the connection between the lightweight stud and the connecting body can be achieved. Various effects can be achieved such that the state can be easily confirmed.
