Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a socket device, and particularly to an improvement in the attachment/detachment structure of a holding fitting that holds an electrical device such as a relay attached to a socket body.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a socket device has been provided in which an electrical device 1 is attached to a socket body 2 and then held by a holding fitting 3 to prevent the electrical device 1 from coming off due to vibration or impact. In this case, the holding fitting 3 is as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The base portion 3a is inserted into the fitting hole 2a provided in the socket main body 2, and the engaging claw 3b formed on the base portion 3a engages with the upper surface of the side hole 2b opening laterally, thereby attaching the socket. Ru.

However, the height of the electrical equipment 1 may be different, and in that case, it becomes necessary to remove the holding fitting 3 and replace it with another one. Therefore, in the past, the holding fitting 3 could be removed by inserting the tip of a jig 4 such as a screwdriver through a side hole 2b provided in the socket body 2 and pushing and bending the engaging claw 3b.

However, in actual use at a customer site, a plurality of socket bodies 2 are often installed in series as shown in FIG. 4, and in this case, even if an attempt is made to insert the jig 4 into the side hole 2b, The jig 4 cannot be inserted because it is obstructed by adjacent socket bodies.
Therefore, once assembled, it was impossible to remove the holding fitting 3 unless the arrangement of the socket body 2 was changed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional sockets.It is an object of the present invention to provide a socket device that allows the holding fittings to be easily removed without changing the arrangement of the socket bodies even when a plurality of socket bodies are arranged side by side. purpose.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are examples of the present invention.

FIG. 5 and subsequent figures show an example of the socket device according to the present invention, in which 10 is a socket body, 11 is a fitting hole opened on the upper surface of the socket body 10, and 12 is a hole that communicates with the fitting hole 11 and is formed on the side surface of the socket body 10. The fitting hole 11 and the side hole 12 are open side holes, and the fitting hole 11 and the side hole 12 are provided at positions not facing each other on both sides of the socket body 10 (see FIG. 8). The upper edge of the side hole 12 on the opening side is cut out to be wider than the side hole 12, and the side hole 12 also opens to the upper surface side through the cutout 13.

15 is a holding metal fitting similar to the conventional one, and its base portion 16
An engaging claw 17 is cut and raised in the retaining metal fitting 1.
5 is inserted into the fitting hole 11, the engaging claw 17 is bent and is locked at the upper edge of the side hole 12, thereby preventing the holding fitting 15 from coming off.

Note that a terminal of an electrical device (not shown) is mounted in the terminal mounting hole 14 formed on the upper surface of the socket body 10, and this electrical device is held by the holding fitting 15.

When a plurality of socket bodies 10 to which the electrical equipment and holding fittings 15 are attached are arranged in series as shown in FIG. 4, the opening of the side hole 12 is closed by the adjacent socket body 10' as shown in FIG. be done. However, since the notch 13 formed at the upper edge of the opening side of the side hole 12 opens on the upper surface side of the socket body 10, the tip 18 of a jig such as a screwdriver is inserted into the notch 13 and the tip is removed. By pushing and bending the engaging claw 17 with the portion 18, the holding fitting 15 can be pulled out from the fitting hole 11. At this time, the jig tip 18 is connected to the adjacent socket main body 1.
The engaging pawl 17 may be pressed and bent by swinging the upper end corner of 0' as a fulcrum.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the upper edge of the opening side of the side hole is cut out to be wider than the side hole. The tip of the jig can be inserted into the section from above, and the holding fitting can be easily removed.
