Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve workability for connection to a cable and mounting on a structural member, and prevent the occurrence of deformation and the ingress of a foreign material. CONSTITUTION:This receptacle has a synthetic resin body 11 where a conductive blade rest 17 and a terminal section connected to the rest 17 are housed, and such an opening as formed to correspond to the position of a plug insertion hole 4 and the terminal section of the body 11. Furthermore, the receptacle is constituted of the three-split component of the body 11, a synthetic resin body cover 12 for covering the body 11, and a terminal cover 13 fitted to the opening of the cover 12 in such a way as slidable outside and detachable. In this case, a fitting hole 15 is drilled through the cover 12 and the body 11. Then, a setscrew 16 is inserted in the hole 15 from the side of the cover 12, thereby mounting the receptacle on a structural member (building frame).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outlet which is mainly used by being incorporated in furniture such as a kitchen unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a furniture such as a kitchen unit as shown in FIG. 3 (a), as shown in FIG. An outlet 1 is incorporated in the cabinet 1 for plugging in an installed refrigerator, electric heater, or the like, and for distribution of electricity to switches such as lighting and a ventilation fan. Conventionally, the above outlet is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), the conductive blade receiver 5, the terminal portion 6 and the construction material (frame) which are composed of the main body 3 and the cover 2 and are aligned with the plug insertion holes 4 formed in the cover 2 of the main body 3 A mounting hole 6 is installed. Then, when fixing this outlet to the construction material (frame), the screw 9 fixing the main body 3 and the cover 2 is removed, and fixed with wood screws 8 etc. from the construction material mounting hole 7 provided in the main body 3, The procedure is to connect the external electric wire 10 to the terminal portion 6 and attach the cover 2. In this case,
The charging part will be exposed on the entire surface twice when it is attached to the construction material and the external wire is connected.

[0003]

In the outlet described in the prior art, the cover 2 and the main body 3 must be disassembled each time when fixing to the construction material and when connecting the external electric wire 10 to the terminal portion. It is troublesome and time-consuming, and the electrical main parts such as the conductive blade receiver 5 are exposed on the whole surface, causing problems such as deformation due to external factors, contamination by foreign matter, damage of the cover 2 due to dropping during construction, and forgetting to install. Was.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is to prevent deformation of an electrical main part due to external factors without exposing the entire surface. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an outlet capable of preventing foreign matter from entering.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an outlet according to the present invention comprises a main body made of synthetic resin and a main body cover made of synthetic resin covering the main body.
A terminal cover and a terminal cover removing groove are provided in the main body cover in the plug insertion hole and end direction, and conductive blade receivers matching the plug insertion hole are provided inside the main body, respectively. A terminal portion electrically integrated with the blade receiver is arranged, and the terminal cover can be slid outward by a jig and can be removed.

[0006]

[Function] Since the main body, the main body cover, and the terminal cover are divided into three parts, the terminal cover can be removed by removing the terminal cover without separating the main body cover each time when installing construction materials or connecting external electric wires as in the conventional case Only the portion is exposed, and the electrical main portion such as the conductive blade receiver is not entirely exposed.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an outlet according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 (a), 1 (b), 1 (c) and 2 (a).
This will be described in detail with reference to (b). As shown in FIG. 1A, the outlet 1 has a main body 11 and a main body cover 12, which are divided into two parts. The main body cover 12 is provided with a plug insertion hole 4, a construction material fixing hole 15, and a terminal cover 13 that is detachably fitted. The main body cover 12 and the terminal cover 13 are fitted to each other by sliding the cover convex portion 25 of the main body cover 12 and the terminal cover push-off convex portion 26 of the terminal cover 13 so that the terminal cover 13 is moved in the arrow direction shown in FIG. By moving, the fitting opening 23 of the main body cover 12 and the tab 22 of the terminal cover 13 are fitted and fixed. The upper surface of the receiving portion projection 20 of the fitting opening 23 is rounded and chamfered. Further, the lower projection of the claw 22 of the terminal cover 13 projects in a round shape over the entire width of the claw 22 so that the projection 2 can be fitted when fitted.
The structure is such that the projection 20 of the terminal cover 13 rides over the upper surface of 1 and the projections are caught by each other so that they cannot be easily removed. Figure 1
(C) is a partial cross-sectional view with the terminal cover 13 attached.

When removing the terminal cover 13, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), it can be removed by inserting and turning a tool such as a-driver 27 into the removal groove 24 provided in the main body cover. By removing the terminal cover 13 in this way, as shown in FIG. 2B, the terminal screw 18 attached to the main body 11 is exposed and the external electric wire 10 is exposed.
Will be able to do the connection work. The terminal cover 13 is, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 2 (b),
If it is connected to the flexible string 19 which is locked to the main body cover 12 at one end, there is no fear of loss.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the main body 11 and the main body cover 12 of the outlet should be fixed to the mounting position of FIG. You can do it.

[0010]

As described above, the outlet according to the present invention can be attached to a construction material and wiring work without exposing the entire electrical main part, and foreign matter is mixed in and a cover is attached during construction. It is possible to prevent damage caused by forgetting and dropping the cover.
