Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to wiring devices for connecting telephones and other electrical equipment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, there have been some wiring devices, such as electrical outlets, which are embedded in the floor or wall and have two plug sockets, one or both of which can be used to connect a telephone, for example.

Since the idle plug insertion portion is exposed to the outside, dust may enter therein and cause poor contact during use, a separate cover is attached to the idle plug insertion portion.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional type, the lid is removed from the plug insertion part during use, so it may be lost by the time it is used next time.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and provides a wiring device that protects the unused plug insertion part from dust, prevents the lid from being lost, and allows the lid to open and close smoothly. The purpose is to provide

Means for Solving the Problems A device main body having a pair of plug insertion portions is provided, and a lid body slides between a position covering the plug insertion portions and a retracted position between the plug insertion portions. is provided on the device body, and protrusions and grooves that are slidably fitted to each other are formed on both sides of one side of the lid body and the opposing surface of the device body along the sliding direction of the lid body. An elastic locking portion that bends elastically is formed on both sides, and the locking portion that elastically engages with the elastic locking portion and holds the lid body facing the plug insertion portion and the lid body are connected to the plug. A holding portion that is held at a retracted position between the insertion portions is formed on the instrument body.

When one of the plug insertion parts of the working pair is used, the elastic locking part of the lid body and the locking part of the instrument body are engaged at a position where the lid body covers the other plug insertion part that is not being used, and both plug insertion parts are inserted. When the device is used, the lid is retracted from the plug insertion portion and held by the holding portion of the device body, thereby preventing loss of the lid when not in use.

In addition, the sliding movement of the lid body is made smooth due to the fitting between the protrusion and the groove.

Example An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 is a support buried in the floor or wall, and this support 1
A flange 2 that contacts the floor or wall surface is formed on the flange 2 . A device body 5 holding two plug insertion portions 3 and 4 is rotatably attached to the support body 1. This instrument body 5 is provided with a cover 6 that rises and falls on the surface of the flange 2.

Further, the support body 1 is provided with a lock plate 7 that engages with the locking groove 5a of the instrument body 5 to prevent rotational movement of the instrument body 5.
is provided so as to be slidable and fixed at any position.

As shown in FIG.
is formed. The lid body 8 is made of elastic synthetic resin, and includes a knob 10 protruding from the top surface, elongated holes 11 located on both sides, protrusions 12 which are elastic locking parts protruding from the center of both side edges, and elongated holes 11. It has a protrusion 13 that protrudes along the inner edge. A recess 1 is provided as a locking portion that elastically engages with the protrusion 12 at a position covering the plug insertion portions 3 and 4.
4, a rib-shaped holding part 15 and a protrusion 13, which are holding parts located between the plug insertion parts 3 and 4 and holding both sides of the lid body 8.
A recessed line 16 is formed on the instrument main body 5 and is slidably fitted into the recessed line 16.

In such a configuration, when connecting a telephone, slide the lock plate 7 to the outer circumferential side of the flange 2, raise the cover 6, rotate the main body 5 of the device, and remove the plug that appears on the outside of the flange 2. Insert the connection part of a telephone (not shown) into parts 3 and 4. At this time, when only one of the plug insertion parts 3 and 4 is used, the lid 8 is slid along the groove 16 toward the unused plug insertion part 3 or 4, and the protrusion 12 is inserted into the recess. 14. The elongated hole 11 serves to resiliently engage the protrusion 12 in the recess 14. Both plug insertion parts 3, 4
When using the plug body 8, the lid body 8 is slid under the holding part 15 and positioned between the plug insertion parts 3 and 4.

In this way, the plug sockets 3 and 4 that are not in use are covered by the cover body 8, which prevents dust from entering the telephone. Poor contact can be prevented.

Although the lid 8 made of synthetic resin is likely to have cracks on its periphery during molding, both edges of the lid 8 are opened with grooves 9, and a protrusion 13 along the sliding direction of the lid 8 is formed. By fitting the grooves 16 to the grooves 16, the lid body 8 can be slid smoothly parallel to the grooves 16.

Note that a protrusion 13 is formed on the device body 5, and a groove 1 is formed on the lid body 8.
6 may be formed.

Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, when one of the pair of plug insertion parts is used, the other unused part is covered with the lid body, and when both plug insertion parts are used, the lid body is covered. is retracted between the plug insertion part and held by the device body,
The lid can be prevented from being lost when not in use, the plug insertion part that is not in use can be covered with the lid to prevent dust from entering, and the lid can be elastically bent on both sides. By forming a locking portion, it is possible to improve the feel when the elastic locking portion of the lid body and the locking portion of the instrument body are engaged, and furthermore, it is possible to improve the feel when the elastic locking portion of the lid body and the locking portion of the instrument body are opposite each other. By forming the protrusions and grooves that slidably fit into each other on the surface, there is an effect that the sliding movement of the lid body can be performed smoothly.
