Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an outlet device. [Background technology]

[0002] As an outlet provided in a kitchen having a counter, for example, an outlet provided directly under the counter at the front of the kitchen (the side facing users who use the kitchen) is known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). In such kitchens, when using electrical appliances such as mixers on the counter, it is convenient to use the outlets provided directly below the counter. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-171838 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2005-224251 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When using an electrical appliance on a counter, if you use an outlet under the counter at the front of the kitchen, the distance from the appliance to the outlet is often shorter than when using an outlet installed in a wall or other location, so there tends to be more slack in the cord of the appliance. If a storage unit with a door is provided under the kitchen counter to the side of an electrical outlet, there is a risk that the cords of electrical appliances will extend to the side and get caught in the door.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide an outlet device that prevents a cord connected to a plug inserted into an outlet from extending out to the side. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the outlet device of the present invention is characterized in that, in an outlet device having an outlet, it has a cord locking portion capable of locking a cord connected to a plug inserted into the outlet, and the cord locking portion is provided on an upper portion of the outlet.

[0007] In the present invention, the cord retaining portion is provided at the top of the outlet, so that the cord connected to the plug inserted into the outlet is retained at the top of the outlet, thereby preventing the cord from extending out to the side.

[0008] Furthermore, in the outlet device according to the present invention, a plurality of the outlets may be provided lined up in the vertical direction, and the cord hook may be provided above the uppermost outlet. In this way, by providing multiple outlets lined up vertically, the width of the area in which the multiple outlets are installed can be reduced, and the cords connected to the plugs inserted into each of the multiple outlets are locked at the top of the topmost outlet, preventing the cords from extending out to the side. Also, since multiple cords are locked at one cord locking part, the structure is simpler than when multiple cord locking parts are provided.

[0009] Furthermore, in the outlet device according to the present invention, a plurality of the outlets may be provided lined up in the vertical direction, and the cord hooking portion may be provided at an upper portion of each of the plurality of outlets. In this way, by arranging multiple outlets in a vertical line, the width of the area in which the multiple outlets are installed can be reduced, and the cords connected to the plugs inserted into each of the multiple outlets are engaged at the top of the outlet, preventing the cords from extending out to the side.

[0010] In addition, in the outlet device of the present invention, the cord locking portion may have a cord hooking portion that protrudes upward and around which the cord is hooked, and a cord slip-out prevention portion provided to the side or above the cord hooking portion. With this configuration, the cord locked in the cord locking portion can be prevented from coming off.

[0011] In addition, in the outlet device of the present invention, the cord locking portion has a cord placement space formed therein in which the cord can be placed, and a partition portion separating the cord placement space from the outside of the cord locking portion, and the partition portion has a cut-out portion formed therein and is configured to be elastically deformable, and may elastically deform to open the cut-out portion and connect the cord placement space to the cord locking portion. With this configuration, the cord can be easily attached to and detached from the cord anchoring portion by elastically deforming the partition portion.

[0012] In addition, in the outlet device of the present invention, the outlet is configured to be insertable diagonally upwards, gradually moving upward from the front side toward the back side, and may have a visor portion that protrudes from the top of the outlet further forward than the outlet. With this configuration, the eaves can prevent water from getting onto the outlet. For example, when the outlet device is attached to a kitchen counter or a washbasin, the eaves can prevent water from getting onto the outlet.

[0013] The outlet device according to the present invention may further comprise an upper gasket provided along an upper edge of the outlet device and capable of closing a gap between the outlet device and an upper object installed above. In this way, by being able to close the gap between the outlet device and the upper installation object placed above the outlet, it is possible to prevent water or dust from entering the gap between the outlet device and the upper installation object.

[0014] The outlet device according to the present invention may further comprise a lower gasket provided along a lower edge of the outlet device and capable of closing a gap between the outlet device and an object installed below. In this way, by blocking the gap between the outlet device and the lower installation object placed below the outlet, it is possible to prevent water or dust from entering the gap between the outlet device and the lower installation object. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the cord from extending to the side. [Brief description of the drawings]
