Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an outlet for a flat cable, and particularly to an outlet for a flat cable wired between a carpet and a floor surface.

(b) Prior art In recent years, thin flat pipes that are wired between the carpet and the floor have become available because they do not require piping on the floor, are easy to change the wiring and layout, and can be constructed with excellent aesthetics. cable is used.
Then, as a method of obtaining power from the flat cable wired on the floor, a terminal member for conversion to a generally used round cable is connected to a desired position of the flat cable, and is placed on the top of the terminal member for conversion. The method used is to connect to a pre-installed outlet box.

However, the outlet used in this method requires a dedicated conversion terminal member, and it is difficult to make the outlet box compact, and furthermore, the conversion terminal member must be fixed to the flat cable. There are drawbacks such as poor work efficiency and electrical connections becoming unstable when reused several times due to changes in the location of the outlet.

C. Purpose of the invention The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and focuses on the use of connectors conventionally used at the unends and branch parts of flat cables to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. The purpose of this invention is to provide a flat cable outlet with a flat cable.

D. Structure of the invention In the present invention, a flat cable outlet is provided with a flat cable insertion hole equipped with a connector having a conductive part that penetrates the insulation layer of the flat cable and connects to the conductor, and a conductor exposed on the surface. A holding part of the base is formed on a base on which a terminal board is removably attached, which is formed on the lower end and has a connecting terminal that comes into contact with the conductor of the connector attached to the flat cable. This object has been achieved by having a structure in which a floor mounting frame having an extended mounting portion is mounted thereon, and an outlet main body and a cover connected to the connection terminal are attached to the floor mounting frame.

E. Embodiments The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

The flat cable outlet of the present invention is mainly composed of a base plate 1, a terminal board 2, a floor mounting frame 3, an outlet body 4, and a cover 5. The base plate 1 has insertion holes 101 for the flat cable 6 formed at the lower ends of both sides in the longitudinal direction, and a terminal board 2 at the center part in the longitudinal direction.
A mounting surface 102 is formed, and the mounting surface 102
Guides 103 are installed vertically at the four corners of the frame. Note that an inclined surface 1 is provided between the insertion hole 101 and the mounting surface 102 in order to facilitate insertion of the flat cable 6.
04 is formed, and a metal plate 1 is formed at the center of the bottom surface of the base 1.
05 is fitted. The terminal board 2 has a plane substantially the same shape as the mounting surface of the base plate 1, and has a connecting terminal holding part 202 formed with a connecting terminal fitting part 201 vertically provided at one longitudinal end thereof. The terminal holding portion 202 has a terminal screw 2 on a vertical piece 204a.
A substantially L-shaped connection terminal 204 screwed with 03 is fitted.

Note that the lower surface of the horizontal piece 204b of the connection terminal 204 is held on the same surface as the lower surface 205 of the terminal board 2, and a metal plate 206 is fitted on the upper surface of the terminal board 2, and the metal plate 206 is fitted to the base 1. By tightening the metal plate 105 with the screws 207, the flat cable 6 is held under pressure between the base plate 1 and the terminal board 2. Furthermore, the entire floor mounting frame 3 is connected to the base 1.
The frame portion in the longitudinal direction forms the holding portion 301 of the base 1, and the flat frame plates 302a and 302b in the transverse direction have a central portion for inserting a mounting screw 303 to the floor surface. A floor mounting portion 305 having a long hole 304 extends outwardly from its lower end, and is further attached to the frame plates 302a and 302b.
An attachment piece 306 for the outlet body attachment frame 401 into which the outlet body 4 is fitted is formed at the side end, and an attachment piece 307 for the cover 5 is formed at the upper end.

To use the flat cable outlet of the present invention, first place the carpet in approximately the same shape as the bottom surface of the base plate 1 at the desired position for installing the flat cable outlet wired between the floor and the carpet. For example, in the case of installing an outlet at the end of a flat cable by cutting it off, a conductive part consisting of a contact claw 701 that pierces the green layer of the flat cable 6 is formed protruding inside as shown in FIG. The unused end connector 7 is bent and attached as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, an unused end connector with the configuration shown in FIG. 6 is shown, but an unused end connector with other configurations or a connecting connector may be used. It is only necessary that connectors having conductors exposed to each other be arranged in parallel at right angles in the longitudinal direction. Next, the end of the flat cable 6 with the connector 7 attached thereto is inserted into the insertion hole 101 of the base plate 1 and placed so that the connector is positioned approximately at the center of the mounting surface 102. For example, when using the flat cable 6 having the configuration shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Drill a screw hole that connects to the ground wire (not shown)
Then, place the terminal board 2 on top of the flat cable 6 placed thereon.
Insert. At this time, if the connection terminal 204 exposed on the bottom surface of the terminal board 2 is exposed on the surface of the connector 7 attached to the flat cable 6, it is connected to the flat cable 6 because it is held in advance in a position where it comes into contact with the connector 7 attached to the flat cable 6. The terminal 204 and the outlet body 4 are the lead wire 40
Connected by 2. Then, screws 207 are used to fasten the board 1 and terminal board 2 to clamp and hold the flat cable 6, and screws 208 are used to connect the approximately L-shaped connection plate 209, ground wire 601, and surface protection metal plate (not shown). Connecting. Therefore, a through hole 602 for the screw 208 is bored in the connector 7 attached to the ground wire 601. Next, install the outlet main body mounting frame 4 in advance.
A floor mounting frame 3 to which an outlet main body 4 is attached is mounted on a base 1 via a cable 01. At this time, since the guide 103 of the base plate 1 is located at the inner quadrant of the floor mounting frame 3, it can be easily and reliably mounted. Then, insert the mounting screw 303 into the long hole 304 of the floor mounting part 305 and tighten it.
Attach it to the floor. At this time, the holding portion 301 consisting of the longitudinal frame portion of the floor mounting frame 3 holds the base plate 1 on the floor. Finally, the cover 5 is attached using the mounting screws 501. Although this embodiment shows a two-pole case, if a ground electrode is required, the connection terminal 204 located in the center and the ground terminal screw 502 provided on the top surface of the cover 5 are connected to the floor mounting frame 3.
The connection may be made via a terminal screw 308 screwed onto the frame plate 302b, or the outlet body 4 may be configured with a grounding pole and the respective connection terminals 204 may be connected to each other.

F. Effects of the invention Since the invention is constructed as described above, it is compact, has few cut surfaces of the carpet, is easy to install, and does not require a special conversion terminal and can be used in various commonly used configurations. The present invention is simple and economical since it only uses a connector of 1, and has various effects such as not having the drawback that the electrical connection becomes unstable even if it is reused several times.
