Next, if necessary, rework the wiring and piping for the grooves or slits. When reworking wiring and piping in this way, it is sufficient to open the groove or slit into the room and perform this groove or slit, compared to the case where wiring and piping work is performed in the space behind the wall. ,wiring,
Piping work can be performed very easily. Then, the terminal can be connected to its wiring or piping and mounted at a new position along the groove or slit, and it is not necessary to make a hole in the wall, and the rearrangement and expansion of the terminal can be easily performed. .

In addition, since the wiring and the grooves or slits provided in the pipes provided on the wall can be opened into the room, even if the terminal is rearranged, the grooves or slits remain in the original position. Since there is only a slit and no holes are made, it does not impair the appearance of the wall. Also, even when the cover is used to cover the grooves and slits, the cover extends along the grooves and slits, which works to enhance the aesthetics of the design of the wall, and the cover changes the appearance of the wall. Something.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a groove or a slit in a wall, a conductive surface for connection along a peripheral wall surrounding the groove or the slit, and an electric terminal such as an outlet. At a desired position along the groove or the slit, the groove or the slit is fitted and attached to the groove or the slit in a state of being connected to the groove. The present invention is further effectively solved by a mounting structure of an electric terminal such as an outlet, which is characterized in that it is provided.

That is, in this case, since the conductive surface for connection is provided in advance along the peripheral wall surrounding the inside of the groove or the slit, when rearranging or adding an electric terminal such as an outlet or the like, the inside of the groove or the electric terminal is increased. There is no need to rework the wiring inside the slit. It is only necessary to select the desired new location along the groove or slit and then fit the electrical terminal into the groove or slit. By this fitting, the electric terminal is brought into contact with the conductive surface in the groove or the slit and connected. Therefore, the trouble of the connection work can be omitted, and the rearrangement and extension of the electric terminal can be performed more easily. In particular, in the case of rearrangement of the electric terminal, the connection is released only by pulling out the electric terminal from the groove or the slit, and there is no need to perform troublesome disconnection of the connection.

Further, by forming the groove or the slit between the partition panels adjacent to each other in parallel, the formation of the groove or the slit is easy and the design of the wall is impaired. Not even.
