Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a socket mounting device for mounting a socket for a lead wire in a cabinet of an electrical device.

(b) Prior art In a component stereo system in which a tuner, an amplifier, a tape deck, etc. are housed in separate cabinets, when in use, each terminal of the tuner or tape deck, etc. and each terminal of the amplifier are connected by lead wires. It is necessary to combine with .
However, since there are a large number of terminals, it takes time and effort to connect them, or the terminals may be connected to the wrong terminals. For this reason, the terminals and lead wires are provided together in sockets, and by attaching and detaching these sockets, each terminal of the amplifier is connected to each terminal of the tuner or tape deck.

(c) Purpose of the invention The present invention is designed to store the socket inside a cabinet such as an amplifier when not in use so as not to interfere with transportation, and at the same time to maintain it in a protruding state when in use so that it cannot be attached to another socket. The goal is to make it easier.

(d) Structure of the invention The present invention fixes a socket case having an elongated hole and a locking piece provided close to the elongated hole to the cabinet of an electrical device, and fits a pin provided on the side wall of the socket into the elongated hole. The socket is installed in the socket case so that it can move up and down and rotate freely, and when in use, the side wall of the socket and the locking piece engage to hold the socket in a state where it protrudes from the cabinet, but when it is not in use, the locking piece is closed. The present invention relates to a socket mounting device characterized in that the socket is rotated and housed in a cabinet by sliding through a groove in a side wall of the socket.

(E) Embodiment The socket mounting device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a bracket that is mounted in a hole formed in one corner of the top surface of a cabinet 2 such as an amplifier, and an inner wall that is bent inwardly and downwardly. 3. It has a notch 4 and a mounting piece 5 for mounting on the cabinet 2. Reference numeral 6 denotes a socket case that is fitted into the bracket 1, and includes a front chamber 7 having a lower surface, a rear chamber 8 having an upper surface, and elongated holes 9, 9 in the side walls that are open on the upper and lower surfaces and adjacent above the elongated holes 9, 9. A locking piece 1 provided as
0, 10, and fitting pieces 12, 12 are formed on the outside of the side wall of the front chamber 7, and the fitting pieces 12, 12 become thicker upward. A retaining piece 13 that engages with the notch 4 is formed. Reference numeral 14 designates a socket, the upper part of which reaches a receiving opening 15 having a large number of notches, and the lower part of which is attached with a number of terminals 16, 16, which protrude to the outside, and the locking pieces 10, 10 are fitted into the side walls. There are formed arcuate grooves 17, 17 and pins 18, 18 fitted into the elongated holes 9, 9.

The socket mounting device of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and is installed and used in a cabinet as follows. First, the bracket 1 is fitted into the hole of the cabinet 2, and the mounting pieces 5, 5 are screwed into the mounting portion of the cabinet 2. On the other hand pins 18, 18
are fitted into the elongated holes 9, 9 of the socket case 6, and the socket 14 is attached to the middle chamber 11 of the socket case 6 so as to be vertically movable and rotatable. At the same time, the terminals 16, 16 of the socket 14 are soldered to the printed wiring of the printed circuit board 19 printed together with the main board. Note that the printed circuit board 19 has lead wires 20, 20, . It is necessary to take it out of the cabinet 2 through the hole in the bracket 1 from below.

After attaching the socket 14 to the socket case 6, the socket case 6 is further fitted into the bracket 1. To do this, when the socket case 6 is pushed in from above the bracket 1, the fitting pieces 12, 12 on the outside of the side wall of the front chamber 7 come into contact with the notched front wall 1' of the bracket 1. Since the fitting pieces 12, 12 are made thicker upward, as the socket case 6 is pushed in, the fit becomes stronger. On the other hand, the retaining piece 13 on the outside of the rear wall of the rear chamber 8 bends and passes through the notch 4 of the bracket 1, and then engages with the restored bracket 1, so that the socket case 6
is firmly attached to bracket 1.

As described above, the socket 14 is attached to the socket case 6 so as to be vertically movable and rotatable, and the socket case 6 is attached to the cabinet 2 via the bracket 1. When in use, the socket 14 is perpendicular to the socket case 6, and the receiving opening 15 of the socket 14 protrudes from the cabinet 2, as shown in FIG. In this state, the socket 14 is positioned downward due to its own weight, so that the side walls of the socket 14 come into contact with the locking pieces 10 of the socket case 6 and the upper surface of the rear chamber 8, and the socket 14 is held in an upright position. Therefore, the socket 22 currently attached to the bottom surface of the chassis 21 of the tuner can be easily fitted into the socket 14, whereby the terminals 23, 23... and the terminals 16, 16... are directly electrically connected. The tuner terminal of the amplifier and the output terminal of the tuner are coupled together. The tuner's cabinet 24 is placed on the amplifier's cabinet 2, but because of the legs 25 of the cabinet 24, a gap is created between the cabinets 2 and 24, so that the sockets 22 and 14 do not get in the way.

When not in use, such as during transportation, the socket 14 is removed from the socket 22, and when the socket 14 is lifted, the pins 18, 18 slide through the long holes 9, 9 into the grooves 17, 1.
7 faces the locking pieces 10, 10. Therefore, when the socket 14 is rotated clockwise, the locking pieces 10, 1
0 slides in the grooves 17, 17, so socket 1
4 is rotated about the pins 18, 18 without being disturbed, and the upper part of the socket 14 is placed in the front chamber 7.
The terminals 16, 16, . . . are completely housed in the rear chamber 8, and the socket 14 is housed without protruding from the cabinet 2.

(f) Effects of the invention As mentioned above, the socket mounting device of the invention is such that the bracket is attached to the cabinet and the socket case is attached to the bracket.
Even if the socket case has a somewhat complicated shape, it can be easily manufactured because it can be processed separately from the cabinet.Also, the socket case has a long hole extending in the longitudinal direction, and a locking piece is provided near the top of the long hole. Since the pins of the socket are fitted, when the socket is rotated vertically to protrude from the cabinet, the pin slides through the elongated hole and the socket is positioned downward by its own weight, and the locking piece hits and the socket locks into the cabinet. It is kept protruding from the Therefore, the socket provided in the upper cabinet can be fitted as is, and when the socket is floated, the locking piece can be fitted into the groove, so if the socket is rotated horizontally, the socket can be fitted. Can be stored inside the cabinet.
