It is provided in. In this case, the high-power cord and the low-power cord can be separately wired in the two cord insertion holes 7, 7.

As described above, when the terminal fixture 1 according to the present invention is used in combination with a plurality of tables 2, ... Or a desk, a space 11 is formed in the central portion depending on the installation form of the tables 2 ,. In such a case, the true value is exhibited, but it is of course also possible to install it on the side of the table 2 or desk for use, or to use it alone.

[0027]

As described above, the terminal fixture with a wiring function of the invention according to claim 1 has at least a base plate and a top plate, and has a cord insertion hole vertically penetrating at a single or a plurality of positions of the top plate. In addition, a single or a plurality of wiring ducts are vertically installed so as to communicate with the cord insertion holes between the bottom plate and the cord insertion holes. Power lines and signal lines can be concentrated and wired to the electronic information device mounted on the top plate or desk top plate, which facilitates the work of wiring various cords and also saves time for maintenance and inspection. Moreover, since it is possible to move all at once when rearranging, the labor for rewiring is reduced.

According to the second aspect, the electronic information device can be easily moved at the time of rearrangement, and can be easily moved to a necessary place when necessary to connect the electronic information device.

According to the third aspect, when a plurality of tables and a top plate are installed so as to have a space in the central portion, if a terminal fixture is installed in this space, the table top and the desk top plate are installed. The power supply line and the signal line can be connected to the mounted electronic information device through the cord insertion hole and the wiring duct, or can be directly connected using the space. Even if the cord insertion hole and the wiring duct are one series. It is possible to separately wire high-power and low-power cords. In addition, since the top of the terminal fixture is higher than the table top or desk top, the electronic information equipment such as a laptop computer is placed on the table top or desk top when using this electronic equipment. Even if the information device unexpectedly moves backward, the movement is restricted by the top plate, so
It is possible to prevent the electronic information device from sliding down.

According to the fourth aspect, the power supply line and the signal line connected to the electronic information device are guided from the upper surface side of the top plate into the wiring duct through the cord insertion hole, and are connected to the power supply line connection terminal and the signal line connection terminal. Since it can be pulled out from the opening of the wiring duct and connected at a close position, wiring can be done in an orderly manner.
