Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an outlet cover used for an electric, gas or hot water outlet.

(Prior art) Conventionally, as an electrical outlet installed on the wall of a building,
A device equipped with an outlet cover (30) as shown in FIG. 7 is known. This outlet's outlet cover (ko 0
) has a frame-shaped fixed plate (21) having an opening (22) facing the outlet connection port (31), and a lid member (23) that opens and closes with a hinge (25), and when the outlet is used, the lid member (23) is opened upward and the fitting (32), which is a plug, is connected to the outlet connection port (31).

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, such a conventional outlet cover has a structure in which the cover member is opened upward and a fitting, which is a plug, is connected to the outlet connection port, so it is difficult to use the outlet. In this case, the lid member is placed in a state where it protrudes outward due to the joint connected to the outlet connection port, which becomes a hindrance and does not look good.

In addition, since the lid member is made of a synthetic resin board,
There have been problems with the outlet being damaged or bent due to hitting something against it when using it.

Furthermore, when connecting a fitting to the outlet connection port,
The connection work was troublesome because the lid member had to be held down with one hand to prevent it from falling from above.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an outlet cover that does not interfere with the use of the outlet, prevents damage during use, and facilitates connection work. It is something to do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the outlet cover according to the present invention includes: a fixing plate having an opening facing the outlet connection port; and a cover member having an opening corresponding to the opening of the fixing plate, It is characterized in that the lid member is rotatably provided on the fixed plate with a fulcrum near the center of the fixed plate and the lid member.

(Function of the invention) Therefore, the outlet cover according to the present invention can rotate the cover member on the fixed plate to align the opening of the cover member with the opening of the fixed plate and open the opening of the fixed plate. Alternatively, the opening of the fixing plate can be opened and closed by blocking the opening of the fixing plate by the rotation, so that the cover member does not protrude outward when the outlet is used, and the outlet connection port has a fitting etc. There is no need to hold down the lid member when connecting the parts.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to an example shown in one drawing.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 show an embodiment of the outlet cover according to the present invention applied to an electric outlet. ) with a fixing plate (2);
) and a lid member (4) with half an opening (5) corresponding to the opening (3) in the opening (3).

In this example, the fixing plate (1) is fixed with screws (13) to the outlet metal K (11), which is screwed to the outlet box (10) installed in the wall (15). In the present invention, the fixed plate (2) is attached to the wall (1).
5) may be directly fixed with screws or the like.

A through hole (6) is formed in the center of the fixed plate (2). On the other hand, a pivot shaft (7) that is fitted into the through hole (6) projects from the center of the lid member (4). Therefore, the lid member (4) connects its pivot (7) to the through hole (6) of the fixing plate (2).
), and by attaching a retaining ring (8) to the pivot (7) from the opposite side, the lid member (4) is fixed rotatably on the fixing plate (2). The structure for rotating the plate (2) is not limited to the structure of the above embodiment.
), and insert the tip of the bolt into the cover member (4).
'IBM may be fixed.

When the outlet M (1) configured in this way is placed with the opening (5) of the lid member (4) facing up as shown in FIGS. ) to the lid member (
The openings (5) of 4) meet and open, and the third
As shown in U54 and FIG. 2
) The lid member (4) closes the opening (C) of the fixing plate (2).
The opening (3) is closed.

When using the outlet, the opening (5) of the cover member (4) is inserted into the opening (3) of the fixing plate (2) as shown in FIG.
) and connect the fitting (13), which is a plug, to the outlet connection port (12). Further, when the outlet is not used, the 1M member (4) is rotated so that the opening (5) of the lid member (4) faces down, and the opening (3) of the fixed plate (2) is closed.

In addition, regarding such an outlet cover (1), in order to make it easier to rotate the cover member (4), a rotating shaft is integrated into the cover member (4) near the pivot (7) of the cover member (4). A lever may be provided, or unevenness may be provided on the outer periphery of the lid member (4) to prevent fingers from slipping.

Further, the outlet cover according to the present invention can be applied not only to an electric outlet as in the embodiment, but also to a gas or hot water outlet. For this reason, as shown in Fig. 3, a display section (9) is provided on the lower half of the fixed plate (2) to indicate the purpose of the outlet, etc., and when the outlet is not in use, the opening of the cover member (4) ( 5
), it would be convenient to be able to see at a glance whether it is an electric outlet or a gas outlet. Of course, the outlet cover (1)
Even when applied only to electrical outlets, the display section (9) can be used to display the electrical equipment to be used.

(Effects of the Invention) The outlet cover according to the present invention opens and closes the opening of the fixed plate with the cover member rotatably provided on the fixed plate. without protruding outward.

The lid member does not get in the way, so when using an outlet, the lid member will not be damaged or bent due to something accidentally hitting it, and furthermore, it will not come off or be damaged if carefully removed. I don't have to worry about it.

Further, when the outlet is used, the cover member does not protrude outward, so there is no need to look as bad as in the conventional case.

Furthermore, there is no need to hold down the lid member when connecting AI hands, and the connection work can be easily performed.
