Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an electrical wiring connector having a wiring plug capable of being coupled to a wiring receptacle on a floor, regardless of the fitting direction of a wired body. CONSTITUTION:A wiring plug 2 capable of connection to a wiring receptacle on a floor is fitted to the lower end of the support leg 1 of a wired body laid on the floor for wiring. The support leg 1 is made freely rotatable within horizontal plane as shown by an arrow A, and freely slidable as shown by an arrow B. The plug 2 is directly coupled to the receptacle on the floor and, therefore, no wiring is exposed, thereby ensuring safety for a wiring work. Also, the plug 2 can be coupled to the receptacle, regardless of the fitting direction of the wired body, and the fitting direction thereof can be changed whenever necessary, thereby saving manpower in changing layout.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric wiring connecting device having an electric wiring plug connected to an insertion hole for electric wiring arranged on a floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional electrical wiring connecting device. A desk outlet 12 is exposed at the back of the upper surface of the office desk 11. The desk outlet 12 is connected to a floor outlet 15 via internal wiring 13 and external wiring 14. As described above, when power is supplied from the floor outlet 15 to the office desk 11 or other furniture or furniture, the external wiring 14 is exposed on the floor surface, which interferes with the passage of the external wiring 14. Occasionally, a person may fall over due to a foot being caught, or the external wiring 14 may be disconnected from the floor outlet 15 to shut off the power supply of the office equipment in use, which may cause memory loss. In order to prevent such troubles, it is conceivable to install the floor outlet 15 in the vicinity of the office desk 11 in accordance with the arrangement of the office desk 11. However, in order to do so, the floorboard must be replaced in whole or in part, When changing the layout of an office, it takes a lot of time, labor and money, and it is very inefficient.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the outlets for electric wiring are arranged in a grid pattern on the floor in advance so that the electric wiring plug attached to the office desk can be directly connected to the nearest outlet. .. However, with this method, it is necessary to install the office desk along the direction in which the insertion openings are arranged in a grid, and it is not possible to install it in other directions, so it may not be possible to install it according to the application. However, there is a problem in that the degree of freedom in layout decreases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to insert an electrical wiring on a floor regardless of the installation direction. It is to provide an electric wiring connecting device having an electric wiring plug connectable to the.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the electric wiring connecting apparatus of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the wiring is installed and electrically wired on the floor surface. An electric wiring plug 2 connectable to an insertion hole for electric wiring on the floor is provided at the lower end portion of the support leg 1 of the body, and the support leg 1 is rotatable in a horizontal plane as shown by an arrow A. ,
As shown by the arrow B, it is slidable.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the support leg 1 having the electric wiring plug 2 is rotated regardless of the orientation of the body to be wired with respect to the electric wiring insertion opening on the floor surface. Since it is free and slidable, by adjusting the position so that the support leg 1 is directly above the insertion port, the electric wiring plug of the support leg 1 and the insertion port of the electric wiring on the floor are directly connected. It is possible to connect to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the electric wiring connecting device of the present invention. In this embodiment, of the supporting legs vertically mounted on the four corners of the lower surface of the top plate 8 of the office desk,
At least one is rotatable in the horizontal plane,
It is slidable in the radial direction of its rotation. An electric wiring plug 2 is arranged at the lower end of the support leg 1 so as to be vertically movable. When the electric wiring plug 2 is projected downward, the plug lever 3 is pushed down. Further, when the electric wiring plug 2 is housed upward, the plug lever 3 is pushed upward. The upper end of the support leg 1 is slidably supported by the slide rail 4. One end of the slide rail 4 in the longitudinal direction is rotatably supported on a top plate 8 of an office desk by a fulcrum 5. The other end of the slide rail 4 in the longitudinal direction is rotatable along a slot 6 having a quarter-arc shape, and can be fastened and fixed by a movable knob 7 at a desired position. ..

With the above structure, the support leg 1 of the office desk is rotatable in the direction indicated by the arrow A and is also slidable in the direction indicated by the arrow B. Therefore, the support leg 1 is placed at an arbitrary position within a fan-shaped plane surrounded by two radial line segments connecting both ends of the quarter-circular arc-shaped slot 6 in the circumferential direction and the fulcrum 5, and the arc of the slot 6. Can be located.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a usage state of the above embodiment. In the figure, black circles and white circles arranged in a grid pattern are outlets for electric wiring, the black circles are connected to a ground line, and the white circles are connected to a live line. In this way, when connecting the electrical wiring plug provided on the supporting leg of the office desk to the floor surface where the ground wire and the insertion line of the live line are arranged in a grid, connect one supporting leg to the live line. , To connect the other support leg to the ground wire, make either one movable. In the example shown in FIG. 2, of the four support legs shown by the broken circles, one is rotatable and slidable in the structure shown in FIG. The movable support leg is connected to the ground wire indicated by a black circle. Further, the fixed support legs, which are located diagonally to the movable support legs, are connected to the live lines indicated by white circles.

In this embodiment, the application of connecting the ground line and the live line in the power supply wiring is illustrated, but it goes without saying that it can also be used for information wiring as another application.

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the electric wiring plug of the body to be wired is directly connected to the insertion hole of the electric wiring on the floor surface, the wiring is not exposed and the work can be performed safely. In addition, since the support leg having the electric wiring plug is rotatable and slidable, the electric wiring plug can be connected to the electric wiring insertion port regardless of the installation direction of the wiring target. Since the installation direction of the wiring target can be changed as needed, there is an effect that labor saving of the work of changing the layout can be achieved.
