Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fixture for wiring appliances such as outlets and switches, and provides a fixture that can be easily attached to a mounting wall from the front side thereof.

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

A fixture 1 for wiring equipment includes a main body 4 that is embedded in a space behind an opening 3 of a mounting wall 2, and a coupling part 6 that couples the main body to an opening edge 5 of the mounting wall. ing.

The main body part 4 is bent so as to protrude from the opposing edges 5 of the opening 3 of the mounting wall 2 into the space on the back side of the opening, and has the property that both ends 7 of the main body part bend elastically with respect to each other.

The joint portion 6 is formed by making a cut 8 in a portion extending from each end 1 of the main body portion 4, and forming a gap between a portion 9 surrounded by the cut and a portion 10 outside the cut so as to sandwich the edge of the mounting wall. It consists of a pair of clamping pieces that are bent outward.

As an example of a specific form of the fixture 1, the one shown in FIG. 1 has a main body 4 composed of a rectangular bottom plate part 11 and a rectangular side plate part 12 bent at right angles to the bottom plate part. The clamping piece 9 of the portion 6 is formed by bending a part of a rectangular plate-shaped part surrounded by the U-shaped cut 8 at right angles to the outside, and the clamping piece 10 is formed into a U-shape with the U-shaped cut 8 to hold the clamping piece 10. The piece 9 is bent so as to become more interlocking toward the tip, and both clamping pieces 9 and 10 can strongly clamp any mounting wall 2 of different thickness.

The tips 13 and 14 of the clamping pieces 9 and 10 are slightly bent in opposite directions to make it easier for the clamping pieces to fit into the opening edges of the mounting wall. One side is depressed and the other side is formed with raised lines 15, increasing the bending stiffness of the clamping piece 10 and the main body 4.

The clamping piece 9 has all screw holes 17 for connecting the mounting plate 16,
Further, the main body 4 has all the holes 18 through which the electric wires pass through, and a wall 21 is formed which bulges inward from the upright part 19 of the clamping piece 9 to the wall part 12 of the main body and has both ends 20 open. It is used to bend both ends 7 of the main body 40 inward by inserting the same.

As another example of the fixture 1, as shown in FIG.
is formed on either the clamping piece 10 or the clamping piece 9.

To attach the fixture 1 to the mounting wall 2, fit one set of clamping pieces 9, 10 into the edge 5 of the opening 3 from the front side of the mounting wall 2,
The main body 4 is pushed into the opening 3 while being elastically deformed so that both ends 7 are pinched, and the other clamping pieces 9 and 10 are aligned with the opening edge 5 and fitted by the restoring force of the main body 4.

In order to elastically deform the main body 4, it is sufficient to insert the entire cutting edge of the screwdriver into the open end 20 of the raised wall 21 of the main body and tilt the driver, thereby easily deforming the main body.

An outlet 22 as an example of a wiring device is fixed to the mounting plate 16, and an insertion port 23 projects through a hole 24 on the front side of the mounting plate.

To connect this mounting plate 16 to the entire fixture 1, the mounting plate 16
The screws 25 are passed through the elongated holes 26 of the mounting plate 16 and screwed into the screw holes 17 of the clamping pieces 9 or 10, with both ends stacked on the clamping pieces 9 or 10.

The decorative board 27 has a hem portion 28 bent around its periphery, and a hole 29 in the center into which the insertion port 23 fits.

When the decorative plate 27 is placed over the mounting plate 16, the insertion port 23
protrudes to the front side through the hole 29 in the decorative board, and the hem 28 comes into contact with the front surface of the mounting wall 20 so as to surround the clamping piece 9 or 10.

To connect the decorative plate 27 to the mounting plate 16, screws 30 are passed through holes 31 in the decorative plate 27 and screwed into threaded holes 32 in the mounting plate 16.

According to the present invention, the fixture 1, the mounting plate 16, and the decorative board 27 can all be easily attached to the opening of the mounting wall 2 from the front side.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The main body is embedded in the space behind the opening of the mounting wall, and the main body has a connecting part that connects to the opening edge of the mounting wall, and the main body is inserted into the opening from the opposite edge of the opening. It is bent so as to protrude into the space on the back side of the main body, and both ends of the main body have the property of elastically bending toward each other. 9. Installation of a wiring device formed by a pair of clamping pieces bent outward with a gap that allows the cut-out part and the part outside the cut to sandwich the entire edge of the mounting wall.
