Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a rainproof outlet mounted on an external wall surface or the like and an outlet with an angle adjustment mechanism in an indoor outlet.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention provides an outlet with an angle adjustment mechanism that reduces the amount of protrusion to the outside, improves the appearance, and prevents it from getting in the way by adjusting the angle of the plug socket into which the plug is inserted while in use. The purpose is to

[Disclosure of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an outlet stand that is attached to the wall via a waterproof gasket 6.
The plug receiving part 3 is rotatably supported on the shaft. The plug receiving part 3 is formed to have a substantially triangular cross section, and a plug 5 is attached to one side.
It has an insertion surface, and plate-shaped pivot pieces 10 are formed on both sides of the other side. Three sets of plug insertion openings 2 are provided in the vertical direction on the insertion surface of the plug receiving part 3. A blade receiving spring 8 for receiving the blade 7 of the plug 5 is built inside the plug receiving part 3, and an external helical lead wire 9 is led out from this blade receiving spring 8. Further, the stopper receptacle 3 has a drip-proof structure using, for example, waterproof packing. Reference numeral 11 indicates a mounting frame for attaching the outlet socket holder 1 to a wall surface, and reference numeral 12 indicates a mounting screw. Reference numeral 13 denotes a holding frame fixed to the outlet socket holder 1 with screws 15, and both ends of this holding frame 13 are bent into a U-shape to form a recess 14. The pivot pieces 10 of the plug receiver 3 are arranged on both sides of the holding frame 13, and the core rod 18 is inserted from the outside into the insertion hole 25 of the pivot piece 10 and the hole 26 of the holding frame 13, and the plug is attached to the core rod 18. Hold the receiving part 3. In this way, the stopper receiver 3 is rotatably supported by the core rod 18. 4 is a coil-shaped reversing spring, and this reversing spring 4 is connected to the core rod 1 in the recess 14.
8, and always urges the stopper holder 3 toward the side opposite to the outlet socket 1. In other words, the reversing spring 4
This urges the plug receiving portion 3 to protrude outward, thereby exposing the plug insertion opening 2 to the outside. That is, when the plug holder 3 is not normally used, it is buried in the socket holder 1, and therefore a recess 23 surrounded by a bottom plate 22 is formed on the lower surface of the socket holder 1. The stopper receptacle 3 is embedded in the place 23. Reference numeral 16 denotes a conductive terminal connected to the lead wire 9, which is fixed to the outlet stand 1 with screws, and is also connected to an electric wire 17 from the outside. Next, a positioning and fixing means for positioning and fixing the stopper holder 3 when the stopper holder 3 is rotated so as to protrude outward will be described. That is, a transparent part 21 that facilitates insertion of the plug 5 is integrally extended around the plug receiving part 3 on the plug insertion opening 2 side, and a side end surface of the transparent part 21 corresponds to each plug insertion opening 2. Four cutout step portions 24 are cut out. On the other hand, inside the outlet socket 1, a locking member 25 has a stopper piece 30 at its tip that engages with the notch step 24 and a hole 27 in the center for inserting the push button 28.
is housed, and this locking portion 25 is connected to the spring 2.
6, it is biased to protrude toward the notch step portion 24 side. Further, the push button 28 is urged by a spring 29 to protrude to the upper surface of the outlet socket 1 .

Since the stopper holder 3 is normally biased by the reversing spring 4 in a direction in which the stopper holder 3 protrudes outward, the stopper piece 30 of the locking member 25 is engaged with the cutout step 24 of the stopper holder 3. Together, the stopper receptacle 3 is positioned and fixed. When the push button 28 is not pressed, the push button 28 is projected upward by the spring 29, so the locking member 25 can project toward the stopper holder 3 and engage with the notch step 24 as described above. becomes. Then, when the push button 28 is pressed downward, the inclined surface 32 at the bottom of the push button 28 presses against the inclined surface 31 of the hole 27 of the locking member 25, so that the locking member 2
5 moves to the opposite side of the stopper receptacle 3 against the biasing force of the spring 26, the engagement between the stopper piece 30 and the cutout step 24 is disengaged, and the stopper receptacle 3 becomes free. In other words, the stopper holder 3 is rotated by the reversing spring 4 and protrudes outward. Of course, appropriate measures are taken to prevent the stopper holder 3 from coming off the socket holder 1. When the plug receiving part 3 protrudes the most, all three sets of plug insertion openings 2 are exposed as shown in FIG. engage. Next, when the stopper holder 3 is pushed downward, since the upper part of the stopper piece 30 and the cutout step 24 have a gentle slope, the locking member 25 is pushed in the direction of disengagement, and the upper cutout step At the portion 24, the stopper piece 30 protrudes under the biasing force of the spring 26, and the stopper piece 30 and the notched stepped portion 24 engage with each other.
This state is the state shown in FIG. 4c. and,
When the plug receptacle 3 is further pushed, the stopper piece 30 engages with the next upper notch step 24, exposing one set of plug insertion openings 2. When the plug receptacle 3 is further pushed, as shown in FIG. As shown in a, the stopper piece 30 engages with the uppermost notched step 24, and the plug insertion opening 2 is buried, resulting in a stored state. In this way, the necessary plug insertion openings 2 are exposed and used depending on the number of plugs 5 used, and the plug insertion openings 2 are not exposed when not in use.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, in which a stepped wheel 33 is provided at the fulcrum of the stopper holder 3. That is, the stopper piece 30 of the locking member 25 is formed to extend up to the notch step portion 24' of the stepped wheel 33, and the stopper piece 30
0 and the notched stepped portion 24',
Further, the stopper holder 3 is capable of being turned around by about 90 degrees. Therefore, when the plug receiving part 3 is inverted by 90 degrees and stands upright, the plug insertion opening becomes visible, making it easy to insert the plug, and the transparent part 21 as in the previous embodiment becomes unnecessary.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention includes a plug holder having a plurality of vertically arranged plug insertion openings, which is rotatably supported on an outlet socket so that the plug insertion opening can be buried in the socket. This is because positioning and fixing means for positioning and fixing the plug holder by protruding the plug holder from the outlet holder in stages for each plug insertion opening is provided on the plug holder or the outlet holder. By making the plug holder protrude from the outlet base so as to expose the plug insertion opening according to the number of plugs to be used, and by positioning and fixing the plug holder by the positioning and fixing means, the number of plugs to be used can always be adjusted. Depending on the situation, the protrusion of the plug holder from the socket base can be reduced, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing effect that does not get in the way.Furthermore, when not in use, the plug socket can be buried in the socket base, making it easy to remove the plug. The insertion port does not appear on the surface and has the effect of not spoiling the aesthetic appearance.
