Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention stores various cables for power, telephone, and OA equipment signals inside a storage cabinet, cupboard, or similar furniture, and connects them to the inside or outside of the furniture itself. This is a cable storage device for furniture that has entrances and exits for these cables, such as outlets, and allows for easy wiring to telephones, electrical appliances, etc. used in offices, etc. It has multiple cable storage devices that are approximately parallel to each other within the main body. A duct having a guide groove is disposed in which the above-mentioned cables are separated and housed by type or group so that they can be wired to required locations inside and outside the main body.

Next, the details will be explained with reference to the illustrated embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates storage furniture bodies arranged side by side in combination with each other on a wall surface, etc.; In unit furniture such as a cabinet with a shelf having a cabinet with shelves, etc., each unit furniture has a plurality of substantially parallel guide grooves 3a, 3b made of synthetic resin on the lower surface of the bottom plate 2, as shown in FIG. , 3c..., etc., extends laterally through each unit furniture a, b, c, d..., etc., and the wiring duct 3, which is integrally formed with a wiring duct 3, extends laterally through each unit furniture a, b, c, d..., etc., and the wiring duct 3 has a wiring duct 3 formed integrally with the unit furniture a, b, c, d, etc. Notches 4, 4, . The auxiliary ducts 5, 5'... are connected to the guide grooves 3a, 3b, 3c...
are arranged in a cross-shape. In Figure 2, 6 is the rear plate of unit furniture a, 7 is the door of the same unit furniture, and 8
is the front stile part, 9 is the rear reinforcing plate, 10 is the furniture height adjustment screw, and the duct 3 is the front stile part 8 and the rear reinforcing plate 9.
The bottom plate 2 is installed between the front stile part 8
Since it is detachably attached to the rear reinforcing plate 9, the bottom plate 2 can be removed when wiring, and the wiring can be easily routed to the duct 3, auxiliary ducts 5, 5', etc. The auxiliary ducts 5, 5' etc. are fixed to each other and to the notch 4 etc. by adhesive or other methods.
In the figure, for example, power cables 11, 3b, signal cables 12, telephone lines 13, etc. are stored in the guide groove 3a of the duct 3, and cables are stored by type or group. Thus, for example, a branch line of the telephone line 13 in the guide groove 3c can be taken out to the outside through the auxiliary duct 5' passing above the signal cable 12 in the guide groove 3b, the power cable 11 in the guide groove 3a, etc. In addition, the branch wires of the signal cables 12 in the guide groove 3b can also be taken out to the outside by passing above the power cable 11 in the guide groove 3a by means of the auxiliary conductor 5, so each cable can be safely separated into different types without coming into contact with each other. It can be separated into separate groups or groups and taken out to the outside, or passed through other wiring ducts. Incidentally, the branch line of the power cable 11 in the guide groove 3a can be taken out immediately from the opening of the notch 4. In Fig. 1, 14 is a cable entrance/exit provided in the front stile 8 of unit furniture c, 15 is a cable entrance/exit provided in the end panel 16 of unit furniture a, and each cable in the duct 3 is connected to the wiring space 17 of unit furniture c. Wiring can also be routed to the upper part of the furniture through a vertical wiring duct that has the same structure as the above-mentioned duct 3. In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes an electrical outlet provided within the unit furniture c, through which wiring can be wired to electrical equipment provided on a shelf board of the furniture or the like.

As described above, the cable storage device of the present invention uses a wiring duct having a plurality of parallel guide grooves, so that cables can be separated and stored by type or group, etc., and placed in the required locations within the main body. As mentioned above, the notches 4, 4... having an appropriate width and depth are provided at the required positions on each side edge of the guide grooves 3a, 3b, 3c... An auxiliary duct 5 is provided in the notches 4, 4, and has an end opening in a predetermined guide groove of the wiring duct 3.
are fixed in an intersecting manner, and this auxiliary duct 5 allows the branch line of the cable stored in the predetermined guide groove to be taken out to the outside by passing above the cable in the other guide groove. Wiring duct 3 safely without touching the wire with other cables
It has practical effects such as being able to take it out to the outside.

In addition, when unit furniture is placed side by side on a wall as shown in the figure, conventional electrical outlets attached to the wall cannot be used, so this device allows easy wiring to electrical appliances in the room via outlets attached to the outside of the furniture. It has advantages. The device can also be applied when each unit of furniture is used individually.

In the figure, the cables are taken out to the front of the furniture through auxiliary ducts 5, 5', etc., but it is also possible to similarly provide a cable entrance and exit at the rear of the furniture and route the cables to this. It is also possible to provide auxiliary ducts on both sides of the main duct. In addition, the opening of the notch 4 is closed with a thin half-punch plate that connects to the side edge, and when installing the main duct, remove the necessary half-punch plate with pliers etc. may be provided. Further, as shown in the figure, the upper edges of the duct 3, auxiliary ducts 5, 5', etc. are flat, so a cover plate can be provided over the entire length of the duct to prevent dust, moisture, etc. from entering.
