Abstract

PURPOSE: To discriminate whether or not an F type terminal having a plug fitted in is a current through type without extracting the plug. CONSTITUTION: Two recessed parts 4 and 4 are formed in the same plane of a panel 1, and in those recessed parts 4 and 4, F type terminals 5 and 5 are projected from the centers of the internal bottom surfaces. On the inner peripheral edge of the open surface of one of the recessed parts 4, a fringe 8 is formed by fitting a red ring 8a.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a series unit for a television co-listening device including a current passing type.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An F type terminal of a current passing type, which supplies a power source for operating a booster or a converter by using a coaxial cable for transmitting a television signal, is shown in FIG. As illustrated in a of
Applying red paint 11 to the tip of the mold terminal 5,
As shown in b) of BS or CS on the side of the recess 4 on the surface of the panel 1.
Correspondence and letters 12 and marks were added and used as a mark for identification.

[0003]

If the tip of the terminal is colored, the red mark will be completely hidden when the plug 10 is fitted and mounted as shown in FIG. You have to remove it and check. Also, the letters and marks on the cover surface tend to be hidden behind the plugs and cables, making it difficult to check, and printing on the cover requires a separate printing process, which adds cost and causes the letters to be printed. If you install it upside down, the letters will be messy.

[0004]

The present invention is easy to manufacture,
It is a series unit for television co-listening equipment that can be checked even when the plug is fitted and installed, and the configuration is such that the television co-listening has an F-type terminal protruding from the center of the bottom surface in the recess formed in the panel. In the serial unit for equipment, a colored edging is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the open surface of the recess, or a colored ring is fitted on the inner peripheral edge of the open surface, so that the colored ring is red or the same panel is used. Two recesses can be formed in the plane.

[0005]

[Function] Since the colored ring surrounds the recess,
Even if the plug is fitted and installed, part of the edging can be seen, and it can be identified at a glance without removing it.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A series unit for a television co-listening device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a panel which is fitted with a mounting bracket 2 from the side and adapted to a flash plate 3 having a large window for two AC outlets, and the panel 1 has a central portion of a portion where an AC outlet should be located. At the bottom, concave portions 4 and 4 each having a bottomed round hole are formed. In each of the recesses 4 and 4, F-type terminals 5 and 5 are provided so as to project from the center of the bottom surface thereof. It is electrically connected to an F-type terminal 7 provided on the side surface of the unit body 6 via a circuit board (not shown) housed in the body 6. One of the F-type terminals 5 and 5 is a current-passing type, and a red ring 8a made of synthetic resin is fitted in the recess 4 in which the F-type terminal 5 of the current-passing type is projected. As a result, a red border 8 is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the open surface (FIG. 2).

The serial unit for television co-listening device is incorporated in the switch box 9, for example,
It is buried in the wall by closing the periphery of the surface of the panel 1 with the flash plate 3. Therefore, flash plate 3
From the above, only the panel 1 having the F-type terminals 5 and 5 is exposed, and the plug 10 can be fitted and mounted on the F-type terminals 5 and 5 (FIG. 3).

In the series unit for television co-listening equipment thus formed, when the plug 10 is attached to the F type terminal 5 of the current passing type, the direction of the plug 10 (direction of pulling out the coaxial cable) is either. Even in the direction, the red border 8 can be confirmed and can be recognized at a glance (FIG. 4). Therefore, even if the plug is fitted and installed,
Not to be confused with the current passing type. The red ring 8a forming the red edging 8 preferably has a thickness of about 1 mm, and a rim may be provided to widen the edging in order to enhance the visibility from the front.

In the embodiment, two F-type terminals are provided on the same plane as the panel, and only one side is a current-passing type. However, each F-type terminal is connected to an individual antenna, and each booster or booster is connected. In order to supply power to the converter, both are of a current-passing type, or, as shown in FIG. 5, an independent split type panel 1 to accommodate a flash plate 3'having two independent windows for AC outlets. ′, Or, as shown in the figure, the cable connecting portion provided on the side surface of the sheet metal unit main body 6 ′ is of a direct attachment type, and further,
Although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to provide only one current-passing type F-type terminal or to combine it with an AC outlet.

Since red is conspicuous, it is suitable for the purpose of identification, but it is also possible to use a color other than red so as to distinguish the two transmission lines having different supply voltages from each other, or another color. There is no limit to the border width. And the colored edging can be formed not only by fitting the colored ring into the recess, but also by applying paint, or by the in-mold molding technology, the colored ring is integrally embedded at the time of molding, It is also possible to color-code the inner peripheral portion of the recess with the panel by the two-color molding technique.

Since the series unit for television co-listening equipment of the present invention does not have a vertical relationship like a character, it can be installed by arranging it upside down and selecting the position of the passage type F-type terminal. When the colored ring is fitted to form the edging, the edging is completed together with the assembling in the assembling step, even if the edging is not formed in another step after the assembling.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the F type terminal of the current passing type can be confirmed while the plug is still fitted and mounted, and if the edging is formed by fitting the red ring, the edging can be done with one touch. Not only can it be formed, but the same panel can be used as a current-passing type and a non-current-passing type. Furthermore, if two recesses provided with F-type terminals are provided in the same plane of the panel, the two TV terminals are well organized and neat even if they are arranged next to the AC outlet.
