Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an outlet box for storing electrical outlets installed on the floor of a building, etc., and in particular, the corners of the housing are arranged so that the mounting surface of the conduit etc. is approximately 90 degrees to each other. The present invention relates to an outlet box which is fixed so as to maintain the opening degree of the housing, and in which conduit pipes and the like are attached with height differences between adjacent mounting surfaces of the housing.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG.
Partitions 21 and 22 are provided inside the housing 20 to guide power lines and signal lines for different purposes into the same housing 20, and electrical outlets are installed in compartments within the housing 20 separated by the partitions 21 and 22. Separate boxes with a structure connected to are known.

However, since the conventional separate box has partitions 21 and 22 inside the housing 20,
These partitions 21 and 22 are used to pass the ends of electrical conduits, etc.
However, there was a problem in that a corresponding hole had to be drilled. Also, the piping and wiring are in the case 2.
If they intersect at right angles within 0, there is a drawback that it requires a great deal of effort on site to make a detour.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional separate box described above, and improves workability by fixing the corners of the rectangular housing so that the mounting surface for conduit, etc. maintains an opening angle of approximately 90 degrees. It is an object of the present invention to provide an outlet box in which electrical conduits and the like can be mounted with height differences between adjacent mounting surfaces of the housing.

To explain the present invention in detail, the corner portions of a square or rectangular housing are arranged so that the mounting surfaces of electrical conduits, etc. in the housing maintain an opening angle of approximately 90 degrees. This is an outlet box characterized in that it is fixedly fixed and that electrical conduits, etc. are mounted with height differences between adjacent mounting surfaces of the housing.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the specific structure of this invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated Example.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the outlet box of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof, in which numeral 1 indicates a rectangular or rectangular housing.

The housing 1 consists of a bottom plate 2 and side plates 3 connected to the four sides of the bottom plate 2, and has an opening at the top surface. The side plate 3 is provided with a knockout hole 5 that serves as a mounting hole for the electric conduit 4, etc., and this side plate 3 serves as a mounting surface for the electric conduit 4 and the like. A cover plate 6 is fitted into the upper opening of the housing 1, and a hole 7 for mounting a floor base (not shown) or the like is formed in the cover plate 6. A female screw 8 is cut into the hole for screwing a floor base or the like.

Therefore, the present invention arranges the corner portions 9, 9 of the casings 1, 1 so that the mounting surfaces of the electrical conduit 4, etc. in the casings 1, 1 maintain an angle of approximately 90 degrees. They are fixed and integrated by means such as welding or screwing, and knock-out holes 5, 5 are provided at different heights on the respective adjacent mounting surfaces of the casings 1, 1, and connected to the knock-out holes 5, 5. Electrical conduit etc. 4,4
It was designed to prevent comrades from colliding with each other.

In addition, 10 in the figure is a height adjusting metal fitting attached to the side edge of the side plate 3, and 11 is a reinforcing plate used when welding the casings 1 to each other.

Since the present invention is constructed in this way,
For example, a low-position knockout hole 5 provided in the side plate 3 of one of the casings 1 is used exclusively for conduit conduits for heavy electrical power, and a high-positioned knockout hole 5 provided in the side plate 3 of the other casing 1 is used for light electrical conduit. By making the conduit exclusively for the conduit, the conduit 4, 4 can be drawn into the dedicated casing 1, 1 through the knockout hole 5, 5, respectively, and the conduit 4, 4 can be drawn into the casing 1, respectively. This eliminates the possibility of orthogonality within the two directions.

In addition, the mounting surfaces of the two casings are integrated at a 90-degree angle, and the mounting surfaces have a height difference and a knock-out hole, making connection work for electrical conduits, etc. extremely efficient. It is something that can be done. Furthermore, since outlets for different purposes, jacks for telephone plugs, etc. are housed in independent housings, it is extremely convenient to use the outlets after construction.
