2. Description of the Related Art With the progress of office automation, it is common to install a power outlet for OA equipment on a desk and draw an electric wire from this outlet to the OA equipment on the desk. It is usual that these power outlets are fixed to the tip of the top plate through a mounting bracket so as not to interfere with business processing.

A mounting bracket for fixing an outlet for a power source on a desk is constructed by bending a thin metal plate having an appropriate width so that its side surface has an inverted U-shape, and moving a fixing screw rod up and down on a lower plate of the metal fitting body. It is freely attached, and the power outlet is configured to be screwed and fixed to the upper part of the top plate.
When using it, fit the inverted U-shaped metal fitting body from the end surface of the top plate of the desk, tighten the fixing screw rod attached to the bottom plate, and place the tip of the screw rod on the back side of the top plate. It was fixed firmly by abutting.

[0004]

However, the mounting bracket known in the related art merely fixes the outlet to the upper plate of the main body of the bracket which is formed into a sideways inverted U-shape by screwing, and the mounting bracket on the upper surface of the upper plate is not fixed. Since the mounting position cannot be moved, when a desk panel such as the one shown in Fig. 6 is standing upright at the top of the desk, the mounting position of the outlet on the mounting bracket overlaps with the desk panel and cannot be mounted. There was a problem such as

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by making the mounting position of the power outlet for the upper plate movable, even when a desk panel or the like is mounted, It is intended to provide an outlet mounting bracket configured so that a power outlet can be mounted without being disturbed by the equipment of.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an outlet fitting which is constructed so that the outlet mounted on the top plate is firmly attached to the top plate and does not move excessively.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention uses a thin metal plate having an appropriate width, a back plate,
The metal fitting body is formed by bending the side plate upside down so as to be the upper plate and the lower plate, and at the center of the lower plate a screw rod of an appropriate length is attached so that it can be raised and lowered.
The gist of the invention is a structure of a mounting fitting of an outlet in which a screw insertion hole is vertically formed at a position corresponding to the screw hole provided on the back surface of the outlet.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The mounting bracket for the outlet generally indicated by A is a thin metal plate having an appropriate width, including a back plate 11, a top plate 12, and a bottom plate 13.
The metal body 1
And a screw rod 2 of an appropriate length is attached to the central portion of the lower plate 13 so as to be able to move up and down, and the upper plate 12 is screwed to a position corresponding to the screw holes 31, 31 provided on the rear surface of the outlet 3. Fitting holes 14 and 14 of 4 and 4 are vertically formed.

Denoted at 5 ... 5 are semicircular concave recesses formed on both sides of the upper surface plate 12, into which hemispherical projections 32 ... 32 projecting near the corners of the back surface of the outlet 3 are fitted. This is for maintaining the attached state so that the outlet 3 screwed onto the metal fitting body 1 does not move.

In the embodiment, the material of the mounting bracket A is exemplified as a thin metal plate, but the material is not limited to this material, and it goes without saying that a suitable material such as hard synthetic resin can be selected and used. In the figure, 6 is a top plate of the desk, and 7 is a desk panel.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the insertion holes 14 and 14 of the mounting screws 4 and 4 of the outlet 3 which are formed in the upper surface plate 12 of the metal fitting body 1 are vertically elongated, the desk panel. If there is no such thing as a desk, the screws 4 and 4 can be screwed at the most tip positions of the fitting holes 14 (closer to the tip of the top plate 6).
As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, the outlet 3 can be attached to the outermost position.

Further, when there is a desk panel 7 or the like at the tip portion of the top plate 6 as shown in FIG. 6, the uppermost plate 12 has screw fitting holes 14, 14 formed in a vertically long direction, which is the frontmost side. If the screws 4 and 4 are screwed in the positions, an orderly mounting position can be secured without being disturbed by the desk panel 7. Particularly, according to the present invention, the upper plate 12 that constitutes the metal fitting body 1 is the desk panel 7 of the desk panel 7. Since it can be inserted into a gap formed between the lower end portion and the top plate 6 of the desk (this gap is a gap made by a mounting bracket for mounting the desk panel 7), it can be attached even if the desk panel 7 is present. It has an excellent feature that it can be installed easily and accurately without being disturbed.

The mounting screws 4 and 4 are attached to the fitting holes 14 and 14, in addition to the case where the socket 3 is firmly tightened to firmly tighten the outlet 3 to the metal fitting body 1. It is also possible to tighten the plug 4 in the fitting holes 14 and 14 relatively loosely and operate the outlet 3 so as to freely slide in the front-rear direction along the fitting holes 14 and 14.

Further, semicircular recesses for fitting hemispherical projections 32 ... 32 that are provided near the corners of the upper surface plate 12 and on the side surface side are fitted in the vicinity of the corners of the rear surface of the outlet 3. Part 5 ... 5
Since the two are formed so as to be fitted with each other, the hemispherical projections 32 ... 32 and the semicircular large recesses 5 ... 5 are formed even if the tightening of the outlet screwed onto the metal fitting body 1 is loosened to some extent. Since they are fitted together, the outlet 3 does not move excessively, which is extremely safe.

When the mounting screws 4 and 4 are loosely screwed into the fitting holes 14 and 14 as described above, hemispherical projections 32 ... 32 projecting on the back surface of the outlet 3 are semicircular. There is also an advantage that the outlet 3 can be prevented from being inadvertently moved by being fitted into the concave recesses 5 ...

When the desk panel 7 or the like is present at the tip of the top plate of the desk, the outlet 3 is provided on the front side of the top plate 12.
Even when the mounting position of is moved, the hemispherical projections 32, 32 projecting on the back surface of the outlet 3 fit into the semicircular concave recesses 5, 5 formed on the front side of the top plate 12. Therefore, there is an effect that the same effect as described above can be exhibited.
