[Action]

 According to the floor outlet of the present invention, when not in use, the top plate portion of the wire-through chip forms the same surface as the upper surface of the lid, so that the user does not get caught. Also, when pulling out the cables on the floor, if the tip edge of the top plate part of the wire-through tip is pulled upward, the pivotal fulcrum of the wire-through tip supported by the guide pin becomes a guide slot. The fulcrum moves naturally according to the opening of the wire passing tip, and the lower end curved portion of the bulge contacts the backing plate formed on the lower surface of the lid to reduce the weight of the wire passing tip. The wire chip is hung on the backing plate, balanced with the movable fulcrum, and the through wire chip is fixed at an appropriate opening, so that the cables pulled out through the outlet can be protected. On the other hand, when closing the through wire tip, if the top plate of the through wire tip is pushed in slightly downward, the balance of the dead weight of the through wire tip, which was supported by the backing plate, collapses. Will close the outlet. Therefore, according to the present proposal, the switching operation between use and non-use can be performed with a single touch, which is very simple, and unlike the conventional type, it does not require the depth space of the wire passing chip. It is very effective.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the concrete structure of the floor outlet of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of the floor outlet of the present invention with the lid opened, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the main part with the outlet of the lid closed with a wire tip, and FIG. 3 is a cable FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a main part showing a state when the wire passing chip is pulled up to pull out the wire.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a floor box main body having an upper surface having an opening in which a power outlet 2 and the like are arranged. A flange portion 3 is formed on the periphery of the upper opening of the floor box body 1, and the flange portion 3 is brought into contact with the periphery of an opening opened in a floor panel (not shown) so that the floor box body 1 is fixed to the floor surface. Fixed to. Reference numeral 4 denotes a lid body that is hinged to the upper surface opening of the floor box body 1 so as to be openable and closable, and an outlet for allowing cables 6 to pass through on the side edge of the lid body 4 opposite to the hinged portion 5. 7 is cut out. That is, the lid 4 is closed after the cables 6 are connected to the power supply container 2 in the floor box main body 1, and at that time, a through hole for passing the cables 6 is indispensable. The outlet 7 is formed by notching on the free end side of the lid 4 to serve as the through hole. The lid 4 may be locked to the floor box body 1 when the lid 4 is closed so as to close the upper opening of the floor box body 1. The stop structure is not particularly shown.

Next, 8 is a wire-through tip attached to the outlet 7 of the cables 6 cut out in the lid 4. When the cables 6 connected to the power outlet 2 and the like are pulled through, the wire passing tip 8 must be pulled up and must be able to protect the cables 6 from external pressure. When not in use, the upper surface of the wiring chip 8 and the upper surface of the lid 4 must form the same surface. For this reason, the wire passing tip 8 according to the present invention has a top plate portion 9 which forms the same plane as the upper surface of the lid body 4 when the outlet 7 of the lid body 4 is closed so as to be closed. The top plate portion 9 is pulled upward when the cables 6 are inserted, and a mechanism capable of maintaining a predetermined opening is provided. The mechanism for obtaining the state in which the top plate portion 9 is fixed at an arbitrary opening is as follows. First, the side plate portions 10 and 10 are continuously provided on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the top plate portion 9, and the bulging portions 11 and 11 having the curved lower surface are formed near the rear ends of the side plate portions 10 and 10, respectively. I am doing it. Further, the guide elongated holes 12 and 12 having a curved shape as shown in the drawing are bored at the inner positions of the bulging portions 11 and 11, and the guide elongated holes 12 and 12 are provided with the cover 4 of the lid body 4. The guide pins 14, 14 fixed to the guide pin mounting members 13, 13 protruding from the lower surface are positioned. Further, the bulging portions 11 and 11 having a curved lower surface abut on the contact plates 15 and 15 formed on the lower surface of the lid body 4 to hold the through wire chip 8 at an arbitrary opening. It is designed to

That is, since the pivotal fulcrum of the through wire tip 8 supported by the guide pins 14 and 14 is the guide elongated holes 12 and 12, the pivotal fulcrum corresponds to the opening degree of the through wire tip 8. While automatically moving, the lower end curved portions of the bulging portions 11 and 11 come into contact with the contact plates 15 and 15 formed on the lower surface of the lid body 4, in which case the weight of the passing wire tip 8 is applied to the contact plates. 15 and 15, the wire connecting tip 8 is in a state of being fixed at an appropriate degree of opening in balance with the movable pivot support point, and serves to protect the cables 6 drawn out through the outlet 7 from external pressure and the like. It is a thing.

As described above, 13 is a guide pin mounting member provided on the lower surface of the lid 4, and the guide pin 14 that supports the through wire chip 8 is fixed to the guide pin mounting member 13. The guide pin 14 is located in the guide elongated hole 12 bored in the bulging portion 11 of the wire passing tip 8. In the illustrated embodiment, the contact plate 15 with which the curved lower surface of the bulging portion 11 of the wire passing tip 8 abuts is arranged so that the tip end portion of the guide pin mounting member 13 is orthogonal to the guide pin mounting member 13. However, it is a matter of course that the abutment plate 15 and the guide pin mounting member 13 may be formed separately from each other and project from the lower surface of the lid body 4. In addition, reference numeral 16 in the figure denotes a partition plate attached to the middle portion of the side plate portions 10, 10 that are continuously provided on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the top plate portion 9 of the wiring chip 8, and are used when a plurality of cables 6 are pulled through. This is for distinguishing the cables 6. Reference numeral 17 is a notch formed in the lower surface of the tip of the top plate 9 that serves as a clue when opening and closing the through wire chip 8.

The floor outlet of the present invention is constructed as described above. When the cables 6 are not used, the wire passage tip 8 is closed and the outlet 7 formed in the lid 4 is closed to close the floor box body. This is to prevent dust and the like from entering the inside of 1. At this time, since the top plate portion 9 of the wire passing tip 8 and the upper surface of the lid body 4 are flush with each other, there is no obstacle to walking in the office (FIG. 2).

On the other hand, when connecting the office automation equipment in the office and the power outlet 2 etc. arranged in the floor box body 1 via the cables 6, the free end side of the lid body 4 is directed upward. , The upper surface of the floor box body 1 is opened, and the plugs attached to the tips of the cables 6 are connected to the power outlet 2 or the like. Then, in this state, the wire passing tip 8 is lifted up and the cables 6 are drawn through the outlet 7, and the lid 4 is closed. Then, as described above, the wire passing tip 8 is fixed while maintaining a predetermined opening, so that the cables 6 can be protected. In the case of the present invention, the opening degree of the wire tip 8 can be adjusted according to the wire diameter of the cables 6 through the outlet 7. After the cables 6 have been used, in order to close the through-wire chip 8, the top plate portion 9 of the through-wire chip 8 is pushed slightly obliquely downward, and the through-wire chip 8 supported by the backing plate 15 is removed. Since the balance of its own weight is lost, the outlet 7 of the lid 4 can be immediately closed with the wire tip 8.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the top plate portion of the wire-through chip forms the same surface as the upper surface of the lid body when not in use, it is possible to prevent a person from walking while walking in an office. . Also, when pulling out the cables on the floor, pull up the top edge of the top plate part of the wire-through tip, and the pivot point of the wire-line chip supported by the guide pin becomes the guide slot. Therefore, the fulcrum naturally moves according to the opening of the wire passing tip, and the curved lower end of the bulging portion abuts against the backing plate formed on the lower surface of the lid, and the wire passing tip is The weight of the cable is applied to the backing plate, and the movable fulcrum is balanced with the movable chip, and the wire passing wire tip is fixed at an appropriate degree of opening to protect the cables drawn out through the outlet. It is very effective in practice because it can be switched between one time and the other without using a single touch. In particular, most of the conventional type wire passing tips are detachable from the outlet formed in the notch in the lid, and the wire passing tip must be replaced each time it is used. Since the tip is pivotally attached by the guide pin, it is not necessary to take it out from the outlet, and the replacement operation is unnecessary, so that the troublesomeness can be eliminated.
