Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to the improvement of floor outlets installed on the floor of offices, etc. In particular, when using the outlet, the cover plate is formed by a guide plate. The present invention relates to a floor receptacle which can be dropped into a storage section in which the upper end of a cover plate does not protrude from the upper surface of a floor plate.

[Prior art and problems with the prior art]

Word processors, fax machines, and office computers
Office automation equipment is increasing in offices, and these
Floor electrical outlets that supply power to office equipment have become popular. However, in conventional floor outlets, the cover plate, which is attached to the top surface of the floor plate so that it can be opened and closed, is hinged to the floor plate, so the cover plate protrudes upward when the outlet is used. However, there were some problems with the office environment, such as getting people's feet caught on them and damaging the office environment.

[Means for solving problems]

It is an object of the present invention to eliminate such conventional problems and to provide a floor outlet in which the cover plate is hidden within the storage part and does not protrude from the upper surface of the floor plate when the outlet is used.

In detail, the present invention includes a floor plate in which a cylindrical part is connected to the lower surface of a flanged part with a relatively large notch in the center, and a cylindrical part that fits within the notch of the flanged part of this floor plate. a cover plate having a large size and having protrusions protruding on both sides of the base end; and a cover plate extending downward to cover the cylindrical portion of the floor plate except for one side of the cylindrical portion. A skirt that is approximately horseshoe-shaped when viewed from the top is equipped with an outlet mounting plate inside, and a lower end that is fixed to the lower surface of the cylindrical part of the floor plate that is not covered by the skirt is bent toward the skirt side. a guide plate, which prevents the protrusion of the cover plate from slipping out by being locked to the back surface of the brim-like part of the floor plate;
This floor outlet is characterized in that, when in use, the cover plate is dropped into a storage section formed by the guide plate so that the upper end of the cover plate does not protrude from the upper surface of the floor plate.

〔Example〕

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the specific structure of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on the illustrated Example.

Figure 1 is a plan view showing an example of the floor outlet of the present invention, Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along the - line in Figure 1 when the lid plate is stored, and Figure 3 is a perspective view when the lid plate is stored. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a floor plate whose upper surface is exposed to the upper surface of the floor 2 after installation. The floor plate 1 includes a flange-shaped part 4 having a relatively large notch 3 in the center, and a cylindrical part 5 connected to the lower surface of the flange-shaped part 4 in a direction perpendicular to the flange-shaped part 4.
It is made up of. The cylindrical part 5 has an outer diameter that can be fitted into a mounting hole 6 drilled at an appropriate location on the floor 2, and when the cylindrical part 5 is fitted into the mounting hole 6, the lower surface of the flange-like part 4 touches the floor 2. It is designed to come into contact with the top surface of the

Reference numeral 7 denotes a cover plate having a size that can fit into the notch 3 of the brim-shaped portion 4 of the floor plate 1, and protrusions 8, which function as stoppers, are provided on both sides of the base end of the cover plate 7. 8 is provided to protrude laterally.

Further, a small lid 9 is attached to a hinge 10 at the tip of the lid plate 7.
The small lid 9 can be opened to draw out the cords even when the lid is closed. A locking protrusion 11 on which a cover plate 7 is placed is protruded from the periphery of the notch 3 formed in the brim 4 of the floor plate 1. Reference numeral 12 denotes a skirt having an approximately horseshoe shape when viewed from the top, the upper part of which is fixed to the cylindrical part 5 of the floor plate 1 using screws 13;
Only one side of the skirt 12 is not covered by the skirt 12 and is exposed.

It should be noted that an outlet mounting plate 14 is provided inside this skirt 12, and electrical outlets 15 are attached to the outlet mounting plate 14.

16 is a screw 17 attached to the lower surface of the cylindrical portion 5 of the floor plate 1 that is not covered by the skirt 12.
The lower end of the guide plate 16 is bent toward the skirt 12 side. Further, on the rear side of the skirt 12, that is, on the side of the guide plate 16, an auxiliary guide plate 18 that guides the cover plate 7 together with the guide plate 16 is connected to the skirt 12.

Therefore, on one side of the lower end of the floor plate 1, there is obtained a storage part 19 in which the cover plate 7 can be stored, and when the outlet 15 is used, the cover plate 7 can be dropped into the storage part 19, and at this time, the cover plate 7 can be dropped into the storage part 19. The upper end of the plate 7 does not protrude from the upper surface of the floor plate 1.

In addition, 20 in the figure indicates a protrusion for locking the small lid 9 to the back surface of the lid plate 7 when the small lid 9 is opened. Further, reference numeral 21 denotes a set screw made of a hexagonal hole screw or the like for fixing the cylindrical part 5 of the floor plate 1 to the circumferential surface of the mounting hole 6 drilled in the floor 2. When the set screw 21 is screwed in from the inside of the cylindrical part 5, the tip of the set screw 21 bites into the peripheral wall of the mounting hole 6, and the floor plate 1 is securely fixed to the floor 2.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention has the above-described configuration, and the protrusions 8, 8 protruding from the cover plate 7 are engaged with the back surface of the brim 4 of the floor plate 1, so that the cover plate 7 is attached to the floor plate 1. When using the electrical outlets 15, the cover plate 7 can be dropped into the storage part 19 by pushing the base end side of the cover plate 7 downward, without separating from the outlet.
This eliminates the conventional problem that the upper end of the cover plate 7 protrudes above the upper surface of the floor plate 1, and has a great effect on improving the office environment.
