Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an up outlet for installation on an access floor (double floor) provided in an office or the like.

[Background technology]

Recently, office automation equipment has been increasingly introduced in offices and the like. As the introduction of OAi devices increases, it has become necessary to secure a dedicated space for electrical wiring used therein. To meet such demands, low double floors, ie, access floors, have come into use. In other words, a relatively low floor is provided above the original floor, and a space for wiring is secured in the space formed between the two floors.

It would be convenient if an up outlet could be attached to the surface of such an access floor. When not in use, this up outlet is stored under the floor, and when in use, for example,
This is because the outlet can be easily exposed by pulling a lever provided on the surface plate of the up outlet, which is extremely convenient.

However, in such a device, it is not preferable that the height of the underfloor space of the access floor needs to be increased or that the device becomes large and the appearance becomes bad.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to provide an amplifier outlet for an access floor that has a low overall height and has a good appearance.

[Disclosure of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a plate placed on the floor, an opening is formed in the plate, and an outlet is connected to the opening at a position below the opening by the force of a spring. At the same time, a terminal section for introducing an external power source is separately provided in the outlet so as not to follow the movement of the outlet, and this terminal section is attached to the outlet so as to be able to jump out from the outlet. The gist is an amplifier receptacle that is placed on the side of the receptacle and whose lower end is located at or above the lower end of the receptacle.

This will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, one embodiment of which will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional structure of an amplifier outlet 1 according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, this up outlet 1 can be installed by drilling a hole in a part of the panel surface of the access floor F. An opening is formed in the plate 2 of the up outlet installed on the access floor F, and an outlet 3 is attached at a position below the opening. A terminal portion 4 for introducing an external power source to the outlet 3 is connected via a lead wire 5 to the rear side thereof. The position of the terminal part 4 is the outlet 3
(It does not necessarily have to be at the rear as shown in Figure 1. Since the terminal part 4 is separate from the outlet 3 in this way, Even if the terminal jumps out of the opening and is put into use as shown in Figure 3, the terminal section 4 is designed not to follow its movement.Furthermore, the terminal section 4 has its lower end positioned at the same level as the lower end position of the outlet 3. It is arranged to fit above it (on the plate side).

The reason why the terminal part 4 is not made to follow the movement of the outlet 3 is that if it were to follow the movement of the outlet 3, the terminal part would be exposed and the appearance would be bad, and the opening of the plate would become large and the appearance would be bad. (Because it happens.

In order to avoid this, it is conceivable to place the terminal section below the outlet, as shown in Fig. 4.

However, as shown in Figure 4, this amplifier outlet has a large height and cannot be installed on a low access floor. As shown, an outlet 23 is attached below a plate 22 installed on the floor, and a terminal 24 for supplying power to the outlet 23 is connected via a lead wire 25 below the outlet 23. To use this outlet 23, proceed as follows.First, pull the lever 26 provided on the plate 22 to the right in the figure.
6, the claw 29 that has been fitted into the groove 28 formed in the outer shell 27 of the outlet 23 comes off. Since the outlet 23 is normally biased by a spring 31 wound around a shaft 30 attached below the plate 22, it will pop out from the opening of the plate 22 when the claw 29 is removed. However, the terminal portion 24 does not come out of the plate 22.

As seen above, the up outlet 21 shown in FIG. 4 has the outlet 23 and the terminal part 24 arranged in series in the height direction. The height will be considerable. Needless to say, raising the height of the access floor is problematic because it unnecessarily narrows the indoor space.

When using the amplifier outlet 1 according to the present invention,
As shown in FIG. 3, by pulling a lever 6 provided on the surface of the plate 2 toward the front in the figure, the outlet 3 will pop out from the opening. That is, when the lever 6 is pulled, the claw 9, which has been fitted into the groove 8 formed in the outer cover 7 of the outlet, comes to be removed, as shown in FIG. The outlet 3 is normally biased upward by a spring 11 wound around a shaft 10 attached below the plate 2, so if the claw 9 comes off, it will pop out from the opening in the plate 2. be.

On the other hand, when the outlet is not in use, the outlet 3 is stored by pulling the lever 6 and pressing the outside of the outer cover 7 of the outlet 3, as shown in FIG. In this case, a space 12 formed between the right side surface of the claw 9 and the sliding direction of the claw 9
Alternatively, a spring may be attached in advance to automatically return the lever 6. This is preferable because it is possible to prevent the lever 6 from moving backward inadvertently.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the up outlet according to the present invention, the terminal part is arranged on the side so as not to follow the movement of the outlet, and the lower end of the terminal part is located at the same level as or higher than the lower end position of the outlet. Therefore, installation is possible even on low access floors. Therefore, wiring space for various OA devices can be secured without unnecessarily narrowing the indoor space. Moreover, it looks good.
