Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention rotatably accommodates an outlet provided on a wall surface or the like on a wall surface on which the outlet is mounted, so that a plug to be inserted into the outlet and used. The present invention relates to the provision of an outlet mounting structure in which a front surface of an object to be attached to an outlet can be effectively used by being configured not to project forward from a mounting wall surface or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For the purpose of enhancing the habitability in a living space, such as a living room, bedroom, study, dining room, kitchen, toilet, working room or corridor, various electric equipments are installed and used. The connected use of the equipment etc. is done daily and frequently.

Most of the power supplies for such various electric equipments and appliances are commercial power supplies, and are wired and supplied to each living space by utilizing the floor, ceiling, walls and the like.
In many cases, it is constructed so that it can be taken out from an outlet provided on a wall surface and used.

[0004]

In many cases, an outlet provided on such a wall surface is provided at a relatively lower portion of the wall surface, except for an outlet for a ventilation fan, an outlet for a wall-mounted room air conditioner, and the like. In many cases, a chest of drawers, a bed,
Various furniture such as bookshelves, desks, vanities, kitchen equipment, air conditioners, various equipment such as water heaters, various storage cases such as trash cans, organizing containers, etc. It has been difficult to install or install the protruding portion of the plug to be in close contact with the wall surface of such various articles.

That is, when furniture or the like is installed or installed along the wall surface, the furniture or the like installed or installed along the wall surface is plugged into an outlet. It is necessary to install or install the furniture, etc., so that the protruding end of the plug inserted into this outlet and the furniture, etc., do not touch each other so as not to damage the proper insertion state of was there.

[0006] In such a plug mounting method, a considerable gap is required between the plug and a wall surface provided with an outlet, or a furniture used.
As a result, there is a disadvantage that the effective use of the living space corresponding to the gap is impaired.

Further, in this method, a gap corresponding to the length dimension of the insertion plug is formed between the wall surface and furniture or the like which is installed or installed along the wall surface, and as a result, the wall surface is formed. It will not be possible to install or install furniture, etc. in a state in close contact with
It was necessary to devise measures to prevent furniture from falling over in the event of an earthquake.

Further, in this method, a wall surface,
Installed along this, or in the gap equivalent to the insertion plug that occurs between furniture used for installation, dust,
In particular, since cotton dust is likely to collect and it is difficult to clean the portion, there is a problem that the gap, particularly the wall surface facing this gap, the furniture surface, etc. is thinly soiled by fine dust particles. However, there is a possibility that the cotton dust retained in the gap may adhere to the outlet, particularly to the blade portion of the plug inserted into the outlet.

[0009] Further, such an inconvenience is not limited to the case where the outlet is attached to the wall surface, and, for example, the outlet is provided in various furnitures or various equipments, and the furnitures and equipments provided with this outlet are The same thing occurs when other objects such as kitchen appliances are installed. For example, when using a microwave oven or the like on a sink with an outlet attached to the rubbing part of a rag, a wash bowl When using a vanity cabinet equipped with an outlet in the front part of the room with a separate makeup cabinet, or when using the computer main unit on a desk equipped with an outlet in the front side, etc. However, there is an inconvenience inevitably resulting in a gap corresponding to the protruding width of the plug used.

The present invention has been proposed as a solution to the inconvenience of the conventional outlet structure, and is used when furniture or the like is installed or installed in front of an object to which the outlet is attached, such as a wall. The plug is not inserted between the wall and furniture in a protruding state, and the furniture is closely attached to the installation target equipped with the outlet, or the outlet is installed and used. It is intended to provide structure.

Further, the lid plate 50 can be attached to the front of the plug-in outlet A of the plug B in such a state, and the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 8 can be used.

By thus putting the plug B, particularly the plug body 70 in the recess C, it becomes possible to closely attach furniture or the like to the front surface of the object D to be attached. There is no inconvenience such as the plug coming off from the insertion hole 91 of the outlet A due to furniture or the like.

[0064]

The structure for mounting an outlet according to the present invention is characterized by the above-mentioned structure, and in particular, the outlet A
And the installation object D of this outlet A,
The attachment object D is provided with an assembling recess C of the outlet A, and the outlet A provided at the entrance side of the recess C is provided so as to be rotatable inward of the recess C. In this way, various furniture such as chests, beds, bookshelves, desks, vanities, kitchen equipment, air conditioners, water heaters, etc., trash box,
It has a feature that various storage containers such as an organizing container and the like can be closely attached to the object D to which the outlet is attached, or can be used. In other words, it is possible to make effective use of the living space by eliminating the need for any gap between the wall surface provided with the outlet or the furniture used for installation to attach the plug to the outlet. It

Further, in this method, there is no gap between the wall surface and the furniture or the like installed or installed along the wall surface, which results in no gap corresponding to the length dimension of the insertion plug. It is possible to install or install furniture, etc. in a state of being in close contact with the wall surface,
It has the feature that it can effectively respond to furniture fall prevention measures against earthquakes.

Further, in this method, the wall surface,
There is no gap corresponding to a plug that is installed along with this or is installed and used, and dust, especially cotton dust, etc. does not accumulate in such a gap,
Moreover, it has a feature that it is not necessary to clean the portion, and such a gap, in particular, a wall surface facing such a gap, a furniture surface, etc., is not contaminated by fine adhered dust,
Cotton dust, etc.
In particular, it has a feature that there is no possibility of sticking to the blade portion of the plug inserted into this.

Further, various furnitures or various equipments are provided with outlets, and the furnitures provided with these outlets,
The same effect can be expected when other objects such as kitchen appliances are installed along with the equipment. For example, an outlet is attached to the rubbing part of the cloth. When using a microwave oven, etc. on the sink, when using a vanity cabinet equipped with an outlet in the front part of the wash bowl and using a separate makeup cabinet, when using the personal computer on the desk with an outlet on the front side In such a case, it has the feature that it does not require a gap corresponding to the protrusion width of the plug to be inserted and used between these equipped devices.
