Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of a box that houses meters that involve rate transactions, such as water meters, gas meters, and electricity meters, and is particularly aimed at providing a box that can be quickly sealed. It is.

Fig. 1 shows a conventional box body, and in the figure, 1 is a base, and a fastening part 2 protrudes outward from the opening.
A screw hole 21 and a sealing hole 22 are provided in the fastening portion 2, and a pull-out groove 23 connecting the sealing hole 22 is provided at the back of the sealing hole 22. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cover that is openably and closably connected to the base 1 with a hinge 4, and a fastened part 5 corresponds to the fastened part 2 of the base 1, and a screw hole 2 of the base 1 is inserted into the fastened part 5.
1. A screw hole 51 and a seal hole 52 are provided corresponding to the seal 22, respectively.

Thus, when the cover 3 is rotated around the hinge 4 and placed over the base 1, the screw holes 21, 61 and the seal holes 22, 52 face each other and form one communicating hole. A sealing screw 6 having a sealing hole 61 in the screw holes 21 and 52 formed as described above.
The base 1 and the cover 3 are integrally and firmly connected by inserting and screwing them together, and then the sealing holes 61, 52, 22 are sewn with the sealing line 7, and the sealing ball 8 is used to make it impossible to prune the sealing line. The base 1 and cover 3 are sealed so that they cannot be opened or closed.

In other words, in the conventional box body, base 1 and cover 3
Since the sealing holes 22 and 55 are opposed to each other to form one communicating hole, the sealing holes 22 and 55 do not face each other correctly due to the play of the hinge 4. Or, due to dimensional errors between the base 1 and the cover 3, the end surface 1 of the base 1 may be inserted into the sealing hole 52 of the cover 3 as shown in FIG. 1D.
0 is often exposed, so the seal line 7
There was a problem in that the tip of the sealing wire 7 abutted against the exposed end surface 10 and the sealing wire 7 could not be passed through properly. In addition, after the sealing wire 7 is inserted through the sealing holes 52 and 22, it is necessary to turn it at right angles and pull it out from the pull-out groove 23, but after the box body is attached to the wall surface 9, the tip of the sealing wire 7 is perpendicular to the wall surface 9. It is extremely difficult to change the direction perpendicularly since it is in contact with the Therefore, there is also the problem that the sealing work is limited to the time before the box is attached to the wall surface 10.

This invention is aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems, and will be explained below with reference to FIG. 2, which shows an embodiment of this invention. In FIG. 2, the difference from the conventional one is that the sealing hole 52 is provided only on the cover 3 side as shown in the figure, and one opening 53 of the sealing hole 52 is provided on the insertion surface of the sealing screw 6, and the other opening 54 is provided. A sealing hole 52 is provided on a side surface substantially orthogonal to the insertion surface of the sealing screw 6, and is curved into a substantially L-shape by connecting the openings 53 and 54 with a connecting portion 56 that is inclined with respect to the openings.
This is the point.

That is, in the present invention, since the sealing hole 52 is formed as described above, the sealing wire 7 can be removed by passing the sealing wire 7 through the sealing hole 61 of the sealing screw 6 and pushing it from one opening 53 side of the sealing hole 52 of the cover 3. The tip is guided along the slope of the connecting portion 55, turns at right angles, and is pushed out from the other opening 54. Thereafter, the seal line 7 is made unprunable by the seal ball 8, thereby sealing the base 1 and the cover 3 so that they cannot be opened or closed.

That is, in this invention, the sealing hole 52 is provided only on the cover 3 side.
Not only does the structure of the base 1 become simple, but also the sealing wire 7 can be quickly inserted without hitting the sealing wire 7 and making it difficult to insert it, and the sealing work is limited to the time before it is attached to the wall of the box. Not at all.

It goes without saying that the shape of the sealing hole 52 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1, but may also be the shape shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In an instrument storage box body in which a base and a cover are fastened together by a sealing screw having a sealing hole, one opening is formed on the sealing screw insertion surface of the cover, and the other opening is formed on a side surface of the cover that is substantially orthogonal to the sealing screw insertion surface. What is claimed is: 1. An instrument storage box body, characterized in that a sealing hole is formed by connecting the two openings with a linking part that is inclined with respect to the openings.
