Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a waterproof wiring device that is easy to operate and manufacture.

A waterproof wiring device is known, for example, from Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-6634. This product has an outlet inside a hollow bulge that bulges out from the plate part and is open at the bottom, and the eaves part is made transparent so that the plug can be easily inserted into the socket of the outlet. I'm trying to do it. However, in a waterproof wiring device with such a canopy, the transparent part is made of a different material from the other parts, prepared as a separate part, and then formed by integrating it during molding. It is formed by color molding. However, in any case, not only is a separate member required for the part that is to be seen easily, but also the eaves are provided in one piece, so molding cannot be performed with only the upper and lower molds, and other parts are needed to form the eaves. This has the disadvantage that the mold is complicated. Additionally, since it is transparent, if dust adheres to it, the operating section becomes invisible, making it difficult to smoothly attach and detach the plug.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a waterproof type that is easy to manufacture and easy to operate on the functional part by providing the eaves so as to be slidable with respect to the opening along the inner surface of the bulging part. The purpose is to provide wiring equipment.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes an instrument main body, which has a plate part 2 and a hollow bulging part 3 which bulges forward from the plate part and has an open lower part. This bulging portion 3 is provided with an outlet portion 4 as a functional portion inside. The outlet portion 4 is provided with a blade receiving metal fitting 5 inside thereof, and has a total of six downwardly directed insertion ports 6 facing the metal fitting 5 in three sets. The outlet portion 4 is fixed within the bulge 3 by a screw 8 inserted into a boss 7 inside the bulge. The bulging portion 3 is integrally provided with side eaves 9 on both sides of the lower end.
The shape of the outer shell part 10 before the outlet part 4 is provided is as shown in FIG. 6, and there is no eaves that can freely slide against the lower opening along the inner surface of the bulging part 3, which will be described later. , molding is performed using only the upper and lower molds.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a canopy provided on the front side of the bulging portion 3, which is held between the inner surface of the bulging portion 2 and the outlet portion 4, and further has a stopper 12 at its upper end that is latched to the outlet portion 4. A stopper 13 is provided at the lower end to be engaged with the lower edge of the bulge 3, and if necessary, an eaves 11 is provided so as to be slidable along the inner surface of the bulge 3 relative to the opening. The eave 11 is formed in a U-shape, and the edge portions of both side pieces are placed on the front edge of the eave 9 on the side surface side.
The eaves 11 is preliminarily positioned between the solid line and the dotted line, and the outlet portion 4 is fixed in the bulge portion 3 in this state, and the stopper 12 is engaged with the outlet portion 4 to be inserted into the bulge portion 3. Incorporating also 14
are attachment screw insertion holes for attachment to supports (not shown) provided at both the upper and lower ends of the central portion of the plate portion 2.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained. Instrument body 1
is fixed to an embedded box (not shown) provided on the outer wall via a support. The operation unit, i.e.
When inserting a plug (not shown) into the insertion port 6, push the eaves 11 upward to the position indicated by the dotted line where the stopper 13 is locked to the lower edge of the bulge 3, and the insertion port 6 is inserted from the outside. Make it visible. After inserting the plug (not shown) into the socket 6, the canopy 11 can be removed by releasing your hand from the canopy 11.
The stopper 12 is lowered by its own weight to the position indicated by the solid line where it is locked to the outlet portion 4. When water droplets due to rain or the like are poured onto the bulge 3, the eaves 11
is slidably provided on the back surface of the bulging part 3, so that water does not enter between the eaves 11 and the lower edge of the bulging part 3 and falls down through the eaves 11. Since the canopy 11 is molded separately from other parts, the outer shell part 10 having the plate part 2 and the bulging part 3 of the device body 1 can be molded using only the upper and lower molds, and a special mold for two-color molding is required. It can be manufactured using a regular molding machine without using a special molding machine. Furthermore, since the eaves 11 is a sliding type, unlike a fixed and transparent one, there is no problem of the insertion port 6 being obscured by dirt caused by dust, etc., and the plug can be inserted and removed smoothly at all times. It can be carried out.

Although the side eaves 9 are provided integrally with the bulging portion 3, they may be provided integrally with the front eaves 11. Furthermore, the functional section is not limited to an outlet, but may also be a switch, a television terminal, or the like. Alternatively, a downward force may be constantly applied to the eaves 11 by a spring (not shown). Thereby, the eaves 11 can be reliably lowered by its own weight and the force of the spring. Further, the eaves 11 may be either transparent or opaque.

As described in detail above, the present invention is easy to manufacture because the eaves are provided along the inner surface of the hollow bulge that bulges forward from the plate part and is slidable relative to the opening. In addition, even if the eaves become dirty, there is no problem in operating the functional parts, and since the eaves are raised, operations such as attaching and detaching plugs, opening and closing switches, and attaching and detaching lead wires to antenna terminals can be performed smoothly. It is something that can be done.
