DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a movable information box housing telephones and office electronic equipment.

B. Conventional technology When attempting to provide communication equipment and business equipment to users in an intensive manner at outdoor expositions, large event venues, or large-scale residential development areas in the suburbs, the following procedure was used. First, we installed a prefabricated prefabricated building,
Next, work will be carried out to bring power lines, communication lines, and telephone lines from the outside into the prefabricated building. Electrical wiring and communication wiring were installed inside the prefabricated building, and finally telephones, office equipment, communication equipment, etc. were brought in, each device was connected to the designated wiring, and then provided to the users.

Businesses that frequently use communication equipment and office equipment;
When TV broadcasters needed a mobile office, they used a special vehicle equipped with communication equipment and office equipment for exclusive use.

C. Problems to be solved by the invention However, the conventional method of using prefabricated buildings required the delivery of office equipment and wiring work, which had the disadvantage of requiring a considerable amount of time to wait before the office equipment could be used. . In addition, in the case of relay vans, the cost of the vehicle is included in the cost of communication equipment, office machines, etc., so there is a drawback that the cost is high.

This invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and aims to provide an information box that allows office equipment and information equipment to be used immediately after installation in a building, and that is inexpensive to use.

D. Means for Solving the Problems This invention has been made to solve the above problems, and as shown in the figure, a movable box body that is separated from the outside and becomes a room, and a box body A power connector and a communication connector installed on the outer wall of the box, a desk and shelf fixed horizontally inside the box, and an electronic office machine and communication equipment fixed and placed on the desk and shelf, An information box was constructed of a power cable and a communication cable that connect these electronic office machines and communication devices to the connectors.

E. Action This box is transported to a station or an event venue and set up. Next, a communication line such as a power line or a telephone line is connected to each connector from the outside. Thereby, each electronic device and communication device can be immediately put to use.
