Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a floor box that stores electrical outlets, telephone plug jacks, etc. located under the floor. A drawer opening is provided, a small lid is hinged to this drawer opening so that it can be opened and closed freely, and the small lid is locked to the back side of the lid body when the drawer opening is open. It is an object of the present invention to provide a floor box which prevents a small lid from hanging downward when opened, and which has a simplified structure and improved handling operability.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the specific structure of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on the illustrated Example.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a box with an opening at the top that is buried under the floor. Inside this box 1, there is provided a mounting plate 5 for fixing an outlet 2, a jack 4 for a telephone plug 3, and the like.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a hollow floor plate fixed to the upper edge of the opening 7 of the box 1. The lower surface of the outer circumference of the floor plate 6 is brought into contact with the floor surface 8, and the box 1 is fixed to the box 1 by screws 9.
It is fixed to a flange 10 formed on the upper edge of the opening.

Reference numeral 11 designates a lid body which is screwed onto one side edge of the hollow portion 12 of the floor plate 6 so as to be openable and closable, and 13 represents a back hinge for attaching the hinge.

The side edge 14 on the opposite side of the hinged portion of the lid body 11 is cut out in a substantially U-shape at appropriate intervals to serve as outlet ports 15 for cords.

Note that if the end surface of the side edge 14 is tapered, and the end surface of the hollow part 12 of the floor plate 6 that comes into contact with this tapered part is also tapered to match this, the lid 11 can be fitted tightly. Therefore, it is more preferable.

Reference numeral 16 indicates a small lid that is screwed to the inner side edge of the drawer opening 15 so as to be openable and closable, and 17 indicates a hinge for attaching the hinge.

In the illustrated embodiment, four outlet ports 15 are provided on the lid body 11, and a small lid 16 is hinged to each of the outlet ports 15, but the number of outlet ports 15 may be two or more depending on the application. It can be installed in

It goes without saying that the tip end surface of the small lid 16 is also formed into a tapered shape similar to the end surface of the side edge 14 of the lid body 11.

Therefore, in the present invention, the small lid 16 is configured to be locked to the back surface of the lid body 11 when the drawer opening 15 is open, and the locking means is, for example, as shown in the figure. A pair of tapes 18, so-called Velcro, in which one end is formed into a loop shape and the other end is bent into a hook shape, are pasted to the two mounting pieces of the hinge 17, and the small lid 1 is attached.
6 may be secured to the back surface of the lid body 11 by engagement of the tapes 18, or the hinges 1
7 may be made of a magnetic material, or a thin piece of ferrite magnet may be attached to the mounting piece of the hinge 17, and the small lid 16 may be brought into close contact with the back surface of the lid body 11 by the magnetic force. Alternatively, a pair of hooks may be attached to the two mounting pieces of the hinge 17, and the hooks may be engaged to lock the lid.In other words, the small lid 16 may be prevented from hanging downward with the drawer opening 15 open. The locking structure can be arbitrarily determined as long as it has a structure that can be locked to the back side of the lid 11.

In addition, 19 in the figure is a recessed part provided in the floor plate 6 for convenience when pulling the lid body 11 upward;
indicate electrical conduits.

As described above, the floor box of the present invention includes a box 1 with an opening on the top surface in which an outlet 2, a jack 4 for a telephone plug 3, etc. are arranged inside, and a hollow floor plate fixed to the upper edge of the opening of this box 1. 6, and a lid 11 hinged to one side edge of the hollow portion 12 of this floor plate 6 so as to be openable and closable.
The lid body 11 has a substantially U-shaped notch at an appropriate interval on the side edge 14 on the opposite side of the hinged portion to form an outlet 15 for cords, and a small lid 16 is provided in the outlet 15. are hinged to each other so that they can be opened and closed freely, and the small lid 16 is locked to the back surface of the lid 11 with the drawer opening 15 open. As shown in Fig. 2, pull the outlet upward, arbitrarily select the outlet 15 provided in the cover 11 in relation to the outlet 2, etc. to be used, and rotate the small cover 16 on the outlet 15. and lock it on the back side of the lid body 11, and connect the cords to the open drawer opening 1.
It is used with the drawer lid 11 closed from 5, and the small lid 16 is locked to the back side of the lid 11, so it does not hang downward, which may damage cords or make unpleasant noises. In addition, when the drawer port 15 is open, the small lid 16 is completely hidden behind the lid 11, so the appearance is good. It is hinged to the drawer opening of the lid, so
This makes it possible to provide a practical floor box that is extremely easy to handle and operate.
