DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments of the accompanying drawings.

The outlet box 1 according to the present invention is mounted on a top plate 80 of a work table 8 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outlet box 1 is made by bending a metal plate, and cuts out the lower surface of the box-shaped main body frame member 2 that is opened in the front and back, and bends the cut end downward. The legs 3 and 3 are extended, and in the body frame member 2, a bottom surface 41 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed.
A pair of outlet mounting members 4 and 4 each having an opening 42 for wiring formed therein are vertically fitted and fixed to the body frame member 2 by spot welding or the like, and the outlet mounting members 4 and 4 are connected to the body. Outlets 7 and 7 are attached from the front and rear of the frame member 2 by screwing or the like, and a leg frame 5 having a substantially square V shape in plan view is externally fitted to the leg portions 3 and 3 and fixed by spot welding or the like. The outlet box body 10 is configured. On the other hand, the outlet box fixing member 6 is also formed by bending a metal plate, etc., and has a substantially U-shaped cross section that can be fitted inside the leg frame 5 attached to the lower surface of the outlet box body 10, and has a bottom surface 61 A wiring opening 62 is formed.

To mount the outlet box 1 according to the present invention as described above on the top plate 80 of the workbench 8, first,
The outlet box fixing member 6 is provided with a wiring opening 62 formed on the bottom surface 61 thereof through the top plate 80 for wiring.
By fixing it to the top plate 80 with screws while facing 81, the leg frame 5 on the lower surface of the outlet box body 10 is externally fitted to this fixing member 6 and fixed to each other by screwing, Mount the outlet box body 10 on the top plate 80.

According to the outlet box 1 of the present invention as described above, the fixing member 6 is previously fixed to the top plate 80 by screws or the like, and then the outlet box body 10 is fixed to the fixing member 6. Also, the outlet box 1 can be mounted on the top plate 80 simply by fixing it with screws, etc., and since all of the mounting work can be performed from the top side of the top plate 80, it can be used as a conventional desk top outlet box. It can be installed very easily in comparison, and since the fixing member 6 fixed to the top plate 80 and the leg frame 5 of the outlet box body 10 are fixed to each other so that they cannot rotate, the outlet box 1 can be used during use. It doesn't rotate on the 80 inadvertently.

The mounting structure of the outlet box main body 10 and the fixing member 6 is not limited to that of the above-mentioned embodiment, and for example, vertical pieces are provided around the fixing member 6 to form a square shape, If the legs 3 and 3 of the main body 10 are directly fitted to each other and fixed to each other, the leg frame 5 can be omitted, and in addition, the main body 10 and the fixing member 6 can be attached so as not to rotate with each other. Any structure will do.

Further, the workbench 8 in the illustrated example is provided with an outlet panel 95 inside the leg plate 82, and opens the upper part of the curtain plate 83 on the inner surface of the leg plate 82 to form a cord guide portion 84 therein. An electric appliance to be used on the desk top plate 80 is provided with a cord outlet 85 on the top surface of the top plate 80, and a plurality of bar-shaped cord winding members 87 standing on a shelf plate 86 provided below the top. When connecting 96 etc. to the outlet panel 95,
The power cord 97 of the electric appliance 96 is guided from the cord outlet 85 provided on the top plate 80 to the lower side of the top plate 80 so that it can be connected to the outlet panel 95 on the front surface of the workbench 8 on the lower surface side of the top plate 80. If the power cord 97 connecting the electric appliance 96 and the outlet panel 95 is longer than necessary, the cord can be operated by storing the excess power cord 97 in the cord guide portion 84 provided on the inner surface of the leg plate 82. Preventing it from getting in the way, and by winding this power cord 97 around the cord wrapping member 87 on the bottom surface of the top plate 80, the plug 98 will be attached to the panel 95 even if the power cord 97 is pulled carelessly. It is configured so that it can be prevented from falling out of the outlet 99, or the connection portion between the electric appliance 96 and the power cord 97 being damaged and breaking.

[0013]

As described above, the outlet box according to the present invention can be attached only by work on the tabletop when installing it on the desk top plate, etc., compared to the conventional desktop outlet box. It can be installed very easily, and the installed state is reliable, and there is no risk of rotation during use after installation.
