Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an article-placing fixture. [Background technology]
[0002] In work spaces such as offices, public facilities, and schools, it is common to use furniture with tabletops to improve the work efficiency of workers. In recent years, it has become common to use electronic devices for work. For this reason, many furniture with tabletops are equipped with a wiring storage section to store wiring such as power cables and LAN (Local Area Network) cables. For example, this wiring storage section is located inside the furniture located below the tabletop. Furthermore, power strips and other devices for supplying power to electronic devices are placed inside such wiring storage sections.
[0003] Placing a power strip or the like inside the wiring housing reduces access to the power strip, etc. To solve this problem of reduced access to the power strip, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose fixtures with a top plate on which an outlet for inserting an outlet plug is installed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6173709 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6812735 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] As mentioned above, in order to power electrical devices, including electronic devices such as laptops and tablets, it is necessary to house a power strip in a wiring storage compartment or provide an outlet plug in the tabletop-equipped fixture. Therefore, in either case, a power cable connected to an external power source must be connected to the tabletop-equipped fixture. Therefore, the shape and installation location of the tabletop-equipped fixture are restricted by the power cable connected to the external power source.
[0006] For example, in order to avoid the constraints imposed by the power cables of such tabletop-equipped fixtures, it is conceivable to supply power to electrical equipment from a small item-mounting fixture that can be placed on the top of the tabletop-equipped fixture. By making it possible to supply power to electrical equipment from such an item-mounting fixture, there is no need to connect a power cable to the tabletop-equipped fixture.
[0007] However, when moving an item-holding fixture on the top of a tabletop-equipped fixture, there is a possibility that containers containing liquid, such as cups or plastic bottles, may tip over onto the item-holding fixture. Because the item-holding fixture has a smaller item-holding surface than a tabletop-equipped fixture, liquid spilled from the overturned container may reach the terminal mounting portion where the external connection terminal of the electrical device can be attached, potentially causing a malfunction or other problem.
[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to prevent liquid from getting on the terminal mounting portion to which the external connection terminals of electrical equipment can be attached in an item mounting fixture that is placed on the top plate of a fixture with a top plate. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] The present invention employs the following configuration as a means for solving the above problems.
[0010] A first aspect of the present invention is an article-mounting fixture comprising a base portion that can be placed on the top of a fixture with a top, an article-mounting top supported by the base portion, and a terminal mounting portion that is supported by the base portion and to which an external connection terminal of an electrical device can be attached, and a protruding wall portion is provided above the terminal mounting portion.
[0011] The article storage fixture of the first aspect of the present invention is a fixture that is placed on the top plate of a top-mounted fixture. The article storage fixture of the first aspect of the present invention is provided with a protruding wall portion that protrudes above the terminal mounting portion. Therefore, even if liquid is spilled on the article storage top plate, the protruding wall portion can prevent the liquid flowing on the article storage top plate from reaching the terminal mounting portion. Therefore, according to the article storage fixture of the first aspect of the present invention, in an article storage fixture that is placed on the top plate of a top-mounted fixture, it is possible to prevent liquid from splashing on the terminal mounting portion to which external connection terminals of electrical equipment can be attached.
[0012] A second aspect of the present invention is the same as the first aspect, except that the edge of the article-placing top plate protrudes laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion, and the protruding wall portion is the edge of the article-placing top plate.
[0013] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the edge of the article-mounting top plate functions as the protruding wall portion. Therefore, according to the second aspect of the present invention, it is not necessary to provide the protruding wall portion separately from the article-mounting top plate. This makes it possible to make the article-mounting fixture smaller and lighter.
[0014] A third aspect of the present invention is the second aspect, wherein the edge of the article placement top plate is arranged to protrude laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion around the entire periphery of the base portion.
[0015] According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to grip the edge of the article storage top plate from any position in the circumferential direction of the article storage fixture. Therefore, in the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to grip the edge of the article storage top plate from any position in the circumferential direction of the article storage fixture and move the article storage fixture. Therefore, according to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to move the article storage fixture easily, and it is possible to improve the operability when moving the article storage fixture.
[0016] A fourth aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in the second or third aspect, a handle is provided on the underside of the edge.
[0017] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the article storage fixture can be easily moved by placing a hand on the handle provided on the underside of the edge. Therefore, according to the third aspect of the present invention, the article storage fixture can be easily moved, and operability when moving the article storage fixture can be improved.
[0018] A fifth aspect of the present invention is any one of the first to fourth aspects, in which the base portion comprises a base portion main body and a low-friction portion having a low-friction surface with a smaller friction coefficient than the underside of the base portion main body and connected to the underside of the base portion main body.
[0019] In a fifth aspect of the present invention, the low-friction surface of the low-friction portion contacts the upper surface of the top of the tabletop-equipped fixture. This makes it easier to move the item-mounting fixture compared to when the base body contacts the upper surface of the top of the tabletop-equipped fixture. Furthermore, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the surface of the top of the tabletop-equipped fixture from being damaged when the item-mounting fixture is moved.
[0020] A sixth aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the configuration includes a battery mounting portion that is supported by the base portion and to which a battery can be attached, and electrical wiring that connects the battery mounting portion and the terminal mounting portion.
[0021] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to supply power from a battery to the terminal mounting portion. Therefore, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is not necessary to provide a power cable to connect the article storage fixture to an external power source. Therefore, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in the position in which the article storage fixture is placed. Furthermore, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the operability when moving the article storage fixture. [Effects of the Invention]
[0022] The present invention provides an article-mounting fixture that includes a base portion that can be placed on the top plate of a tabletop-equipped fixture, an article-mounting top plate supported by the base portion, and a terminal mounting portion that is supported by the base portion and to which an external connection terminal of an electrical device can be attached, with a protruding wall portion disposed above the terminal mounting portion. Therefore, according to the present invention, in an article-mounting fixture that is used by being placed on the top plate of a tabletop-equipped fixture, it is possible to prevent liquid from splashing on the terminal mounting portion to which an external connection terminal of an electrical device can be attached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an article storage fixture according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0025] (First embodiment) Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the schematic configuration of an electrical appliance connection fixture 1 (item placement fixture) of this embodiment. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is a fixture that supplies power from an attached battery B to an electrical appliance D. As shown in Fig. 1, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is used in a state where it is placed on a top plate 51 of a top-plate-equipped fixture 50.
[0026] The electrical device D to which power is supplied from the battery B via the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is not particularly limited, but as shown in Fig. 1, for example, a notebook personal computer can be powered as the electrical device D. Examples of the electrical device D include a portable tablet terminal, a wireless communication router, a desk lamp, a desk fan, and a display.
[0027] 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the schematic configuration of the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment includes a base portion 2, a connection fixture top plate 3 (item-mounting top plate), a battery mounting unit 4 (battery mounting portion), a power tap 5 (terminal mounting portion), and internal wiring 6 (electrical wiring).
[0028] The base part 2 is a member that can be placed on the top plate 51 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 and has an internal storage space K, and directly or indirectly supports the connection fixture top plate 3, battery mounting unit 4, power tap 5, and internal wiring 6. The base part 2 has a base part main body 2a and a felt plate 2b (low-friction part).
[0029] The base body 2a has an annular peripheral wall 2c and a bottom plate 2d that straddles the peripheral wall 2c. The peripheral wall 2c is formed in a substantially rectangular frame shape in a plan view, with two long sides 2c1 and two short sides 2c2. The two long sides 2c1 are arranged parallel to each other. The two short sides 2c2 are also arranged parallel to each other. The long sides 2c1 and the short sides 2c2 are curved and connected to each other, so that the peripheral wall 2c has a rectangular shape with curved rounded corners in a plan view.
[0030] The peripheral wall 2c is formed to have a constant thickness. The space surrounded by the peripheral wall 2c is an accommodation space K that accommodates the internal wiring 6 and the like. In other words, the base 2 includes a base body 2a having the accommodation space K.
[0031] Each long side 2c1 of the peripheral wall 2c is provided with a power outlet opening 2e that penetrates the long side 2c1 in the horizontal direction and connects the storage space K to the outside of the peripheral wall 2c. Each long side 2c1 is provided with two power outlet openings 2e adjacent to each other in the extension direction of the long side 2c1. These power outlet openings 2e are openings for exposing plug insertion ports 5a provided on the power strip 5. These power outlet openings 2e are also located above the bottom plate 2d.
[0032] The bottom plate portion 2d is a flat portion provided so as to connect one long side portion 2c1 of the peripheral wall portion 2c to the other long side portion 2c1 of the peripheral wall portion 2c. The bottom plate portion 2d is connected to the lower portion of the peripheral wall portion 2c so that the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 2d is flush with the lower surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c.
[0033] Such a bottom plate portion 2d supports the battery mounting unit 4 from below. The bottom plate portion 2d also supports the power tap 5 from below as necessary. For example, if the power tap 5 is fixed to the peripheral wall portion 2c with screws or the like, the bottom plate portion 2d does not need to support the power tap 5.
[0034] 2, a gap is formed between the bottom plate portion 2d and the short side portion 2c2 of the peripheral wall portion 2c. This gap exposes the storage space K. In other words, a worker can insert his / her hand into the storage space K or take items in and out through the gap between the bottom plate portion 2d and the short side portion 2c2.
[0035] As described above, the lower surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the bottom plate portion 2d are flush with each other by being positioned at the same height. The lower surface 2a1 of the base main body 2a is formed by the lower surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the bottom plate portion 2d. This lower surface 2a1 of the base main body 2a is the mounting surface for the felt plate 2b.
[0036] The base body 2a is formed by processing a plate member made of a metal material such as stainless steel, etc. However, the base body 2a can also be formed from other materials.
[0037] The felt plate 2b is a plate-shaped member made of felt. The coefficient of friction of the surface of the felt plate 2b where the felt is exposed is smaller than the coefficient of friction of the surface of the base body 2a. The felt plate 2b has exposed felt on at least the lower surface. In other words, the lower surface of the felt plate 2b has a smaller coefficient of friction than the lower surface 2a1 of the base body 2a.
[0038] The felt plate 2b is connected to the lower surface 2a1 of the base main body 2a with an adhesive or the like. The felt plate 2b is formed in the shape of the lower surface 2a1 of the base main body 2a (i.e., the shape of the combined lower surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 2d), and covers the entire lower surface 2a1 of the base main body 2a.
[0039] The lower surface of such a felt plate 2b is a low-friction surface 2b1 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lower surface 2a1 of the base body 2a. In other words, in this embodiment, the base 2 includes a felt plate 2b having a low-friction surface 2b1 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lower surface 2a1 of the base body 2a and connected to the lower surface 2a1 of the base body 2a.
[0040] By providing such felt plate 2b, the coefficient of friction of the underside of base portion 2 is smaller than that in the case where felt plate 2b is not provided. Low-friction surface 2b1 of felt plate 2b is the contact surface that comes into contact from above with top plate 51 of top-mounted fixture 50. In other words, electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is placed on top plate 51 with low-friction surface 2b1 of felt plate 2b in contact with top plate 51.
[0041] As long as the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b is formed of felt, other portions of the felt plate 2b may be formed of a different material. In other words, the felt plate 2b may be formed of a highly rigid base made of a material different from felt, and felt fixed to the base to form the low-friction surface 2b1.
[0042] The connecting furniture top panel 3 is a plate-like portion supported from below by the base portion 2. The connecting furniture top panel 3 is fixed to the base portion 2, for example, with an adhesive or screws (not shown). The upper surface of the connecting furniture top panel 3 is an entirely flat work surface 3a. This work surface 3a is used, for example, when replacing a battery B, to temporarily place a replacement battery B or a removed battery B. Note that the entire upper surface of the connecting furniture top panel 3 does not necessarily have to be the work surface 3a. A portion of the upper surface of the connecting furniture top panel 3 may be a flat work surface, and the other portion may be used for a purpose other than the work surface.
[0043] An opening 3b is provided in the center of the connecting fixture top panel 3. The opening 3b is formed in a rectangular shape. The opening 3b is located above the bottom plate 2d of the base 2. The opening 3b exposes the upper part of the battery mounting unit 4 placed on the bottom plate 2d. The opening 3b is formed in substantially the same shape as the shape of the battery mounting unit 4 in a plan view. In this embodiment, the opening 3b exposes the mounting surface of a mounting tray 4b (described later) placed on the top of the battery mounting unit 4.
[0044] Furthermore, the connecting furniture top panel 3 is formed to a size that covers the entire base portion 2 in a plan view. Furthermore, the connecting furniture top panel 3 is formed to a size that causes the edge portion 3c (projecting wall portion) to protrude outward beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2 in a plan view. In other words, in this embodiment, the connecting furniture top panel 3 has a shape in which the edge portion 3c protrudes outward from the base portion 2 beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2 (the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c) around the entire periphery.
[0045] 1, the edge 3c is provided to protrude from above and cover the outlet opening 2e of the peripheral wall 2c. In other words, the edge 3c is disposed above the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5 exposed in the outlet opening 2e, and protrudes from the base 2 above the plug insertion port 5a.
[0046] For example, suppose a container containing liquid tips over on the work surface 3a of the connecting furniture top 3, causing the liquid to spill from the container. Furthermore, suppose the spilled liquid flows over the work surface 3a and flows from the outer edge of the connecting furniture top 3 onto the top 51 of the furniture 50 with top. The liquid flowing down from the outer edge of the connecting furniture top 3 falls vertically from the outer edge of the connecting furniture top 3. Here, the edge 3c of the connecting furniture top 3 protrudes further outward from the base 2 than the outer edge (the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall 2c) of the base 2 where the power strip 5 is exposed. In other words, the outer edge of the connecting furniture top 3 is located further outward from the base 2 than the power strip 5. Therefore, the liquid does not come into contact with the power strip 5 as it falls vertically from the outer edge of the connecting furniture top 3. In this way, even if liquid should spill onto the work surface 3a of the connecting fixture top panel 3, the edge portion 3c prevents the liquid from coming into contact with the outlet opening 2e (i.e., the plug insertion port 5a).
[0047] Furthermore, such edge portion 3c protrudes further outward from the base portion 2 than the outer edge of the base portion 2 (the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c), and therefore can be grasped by a worker. Therefore, when moving the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the worker can grasp the edge portion 3c to perform the work.
[0048] The edge 3c does not have to protrude beyond the outer edge of the base 2 (the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall 2c) along the entire periphery. For example, an edge protruding locally beyond the base 2 may be provided above the outlet opening 2e or at a position that is easy to grip when moving the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment.
[0049] The battery mounting unit 4 is a unit that is supported by the base portion 2 and to which a battery B can be attached. The battery mounting unit 4 converts DC power output from the battery B into AC power and supplies the power to the power tap 5 via internal wiring 6. The battery mounting unit 4 includes a case 4a, a mounting tray 4b, and an inverter 4c.
[0050] The case 4a is a container-shaped member that supports the loading tray 4b and the inverter 4c. The case 4a is placed on the bottom plate 2d of the base 2. The case 4a may be fixed to the bottom plate 2d with adhesive, screws, or the like, but may also be placed without being fixed.
[0051] The case 4a has an open end that is opened when the loading tray 4b is removed. The open end faces upward and is closed by the loading tray 4b when the loading tray 4b is attached to the case 4a from above. The case 4a also houses an inverter 4c inside.
[0052] The loading tray 4b is a tray member provided with two (a plurality of) mounting recesses 4b1 to which batteries B can be attached detachably in the vertical direction. The loading tray 4b is formed in substantially the same shape as the opening 3b of the connection fixture top panel 3 so as to close the opening 3b. Since the loading tray 4b is provided with two mounting recesses 4b1, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, multiple batteries B can be attached to the battery mounting unit 4.
[0053] Furthermore, the loading tray 4b is disposed adjacent to the upper surface (work surface 3a) of the connecting fixture top panel 3. Because the loading tray 4b is disposed adjacent to and surrounded by the upper surface (work surface 3a) of the connecting fixture top panel 3, it becomes possible to easily place the replacement battery B on the work surface 3a, for example, regardless of the direction from which the battery B is to be replaced.
[0054] The mounting recess 4b1 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the lower part of battery B and is capable of accommodating the lower part of battery B. The mounting recess 4b1 is provided with terminals connected to the negative and positive terminals of the bottom of battery B attached to the mounting recess 4b1. FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing the electrical connection relationship of the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment. As shown in this diagram, in the battery mounting unit 4, the loading tray 4b having the mounting recess 4b1 is electrically connected to the inverter 4c.
[0055] The inverter 4c is a converter that converts DC power output from the battery B into AC power. As shown in Fig. 3, the inverter 4c is connected to the power tap 5 via internal wiring 6. By converting DC power into AC power in this way, the inverter 4c can extract AC power from the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5 in the same way as from a general commercial power source.
[0056] The battery mounting unit 4 may be provided with a control device (not shown). For example, when a plurality of batteries B are attached to the battery mounting unit 4, the control device may select a battery B that consumes power.
[0057] In such a battery mounting unit 4, only the upper mounting tray 4b is exposed, and the other parts are arranged in the accommodation space K of the base part 2. In other words, the inverter 4c accommodated in the case 4a is arranged in the accommodation space K of the base part 2.
[0058] The power tap 5 is a member that is supported on the base part 2 at a position different from the battery mounting unit 4 and to which a plug P (external connection terminal) of an electrical device D can be attached. As shown in FIG. 2 , in this embodiment, two (multiple) power taps 5 are provided. Each power tap 5 is placed on the bottom plate part 2d of the base part 2. In other words, these power taps 5 are arranged in the storage space K of the base part 2.
[0059] 2, the power tap 5 is disposed at an end of the bottom plate portion 2d, and the battery mounting unit 4 is disposed at the center of the bottom plate portion 2d. In other words, the power tap 5 is installed at a different position on the bottom plate portion 2d from the battery mounting unit 4.
[0060] Each power tap 5 has two plug insertion ports 5a. These plug insertion ports 5a are arranged at the same pitch as the outlet openings 2e of the base 2 and are positioned so as to be exposed by the outlet openings 2e. In this embodiment, each power tap 5 is fixed with the plug insertion ports 5a facing sideways so that the plugs P can be inserted and removed sideways.
[0061] In this embodiment, the battery B can be attached and detached in the vertical direction to the battery mounting unit 4. That is, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the attachment direction of the battery B to the battery mounting unit 4 is different from the attachment direction of the plug P to the power strip 5.
[0062] These power taps 5 are each connected to the battery mounting unit 4 via internal wiring 6. That is, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, multiple power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4. In such an electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, power is supplied from a single battery mounting unit 4 to multiple power taps 5.
[0063] The internal wiring 6 is a wiring that connects the battery mounting unit 4 and the power tap 5. In this embodiment, two internal wirings 6 are provided. One internal wiring 6 connects the battery mounting unit 4 and one of the power taps 5. The other internal wiring 6 connects the battery mounting unit 4 and the other power tap 5. These internal wirings 6 are housed in the housing space K of the base part 2. In other words, the internal wirings 6 are not visible from the outside.
[0064] Each internal wiring 6 electrically connects the inverter 4c of the battery mounting unit 4 and the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5. Each internal wiring 6 conducts AC power output from the inverter 4c to the plug insertion port 5a.
[0065] In the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment configured as described above, the battery B is attached to the mounting recess 4b1 of the battery mounting unit 4, and the plug P of the electrical appliance D is inserted into the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5. The battery mounting unit 4 converts the DC power output from the battery B into AC power using the inverter 4c. The AC power generated by the inverter 4c is supplied to the power tap 5 via the internal wiring 6, and then supplied to the electrical appliance D from the plug insertion port 5a of the power tap 5.
[0066] Furthermore, for example, when replacing battery B, a new battery B is placed on the work surface 3a of the connection furniture top panel 3. In this state, the battery B previously attached to the battery mounting unit 4 is removed from the battery mounting unit 4 by lifting it upward from the mounting recess 4b1. The removed battery B is placed on the work surface 3a of the connection furniture top panel 3, and a new battery B is attached to the mounting recess 4b1 from above.
[0067] The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment as described above includes a base portion 2. The base portion 2 can be placed on the top plate 51 of the top plate-equipped fixture 50, and has a storage space K provided therein. The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a battery mounting unit 4. The battery mounting unit 4 is supported by the base portion 2, and a battery B can be attached to the battery mounting unit 4. The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a power strip 5. The power strip 5 is supported by the base portion 2 at a position different from the battery mounting unit 4, and a plug P of an electrical device D can be attached to the power strip 5. The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes internal wiring 6. The internal wiring 6 is housed in the storage space K and connects the battery mounting unit 4 and the power strip 5.
[0068] The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is a fixture that is placed on the top plate 51 of a tabletop-equipped fixture 50. The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is provided with a battery mounting unit 4, to which a battery B can be attached. The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a power tap 5 to which a plug P of an electrical device D can be attached, and power from the battery B can be supplied to the electrical device D via internal wiring 6. In other words, the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment can supply power from the battery B to the electrical device D, making it unnecessary to supply power from the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 to the electrical device D. Therefore, the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment can prevent the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 from being restricted by the provision of a power cable.
[0069] The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes an inverter 4c. The inverter 4c converts DC power output from the battery B attached to the battery mounting unit 4 into AC power.
[0070] According to the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the inverter 4c can convert DC power output from the battery B into AC power and supply it to the power tap 5. This makes it possible to supply power to a general electrical appliance D that can be powered from a 100V commercial power source.
[0071] Furthermore, in the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the inverter 4c is arranged in the storage space K. As described above, according to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, since the inverter 4c is arranged in the storage space K of the base portion 2, it is possible to prevent the inverter 4c from being visible from the outside.
[0072] The electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a connection fixture top panel 3. The connection fixture top panel 3 is supported from below by the base portion 2, and has a work surface 3a provided on at least a portion of the upper surface.
[0073] According to the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, a work surface 3a is provided on at least a portion of the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3. This allows workers to use part of the surface of the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 as the work surface 3a. Therefore, the work surface of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50 that is reduced by placing the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 on the top panel 51 of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50 can be compensated for by the work surface 3a of the connection fixture top panel 3.
[0074] In the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 has a mounting tray 4b on which the battery B can be attached and detached in the vertical direction. Furthermore, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the mounting tray 4b is disposed adjacent to the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3.
[0075] According to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the mounting tray 4b of the battery mounting unit 4 is disposed adjacent to the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3. Therefore, for example, it is possible to place battery B removed from the battery mounting unit 4 on the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3. Therefore, when replacing or installing battery B, it is possible to temporarily place battery B on the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3, and then easily attach battery B placed on the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3 to the adjacent mounting tray 4b. Therefore, according to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to improve the usability of the electrical device connection fixture 1.
[0076] Furthermore, according to the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the loading tray 4b is disposed at a height adjacent to the upper surface of the connection fixture top plate 3, which is supported from below by the base portion 2. Therefore, by placing the base portion 2 on the top plate 51 of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50, the loading tray 4b can be disposed at a position higher than the top plate 51 of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50. Therefore, the connection point between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 4 can be located away from the top plate 51 of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50. Therefore, even if an operator spills liquid on the top plate 51 of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50, it is possible to prevent the liquid from reaching the connection point between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 4 and causing a malfunction.
[0077] Furthermore, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, an opening 3b is formed in the connection fixture top panel 3. A loading tray 4b is disposed in the opening 3b. According to the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the loading tray 4b is disposed in the opening provided in the connection fixture top panel 3, and therefore the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3 is disposed so as to surround the loading tray 4b. This allows a work surface 3a to be formed around the loading tray 4b. Therefore, regardless of the direction from which the battery B replacement work is performed around the electrical appliance connection fixture 1, the replacement battery B can be temporarily placed on the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3.
[0078] In the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the base 2 includes a base body 2a and a felt plate 2b. The base body 2a has an accommodation space K. The felt plate 2b has a low-friction surface 2b1 with a lower friction coefficient than the lower surface 2a1 of the base body 2a, and is connected to the lower surface 2a1 of the base body 2a.
[0079] According to the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt board 2b comes into contact with the upper surface of the top plate 51 of the top plate-equipped fixture 50. This makes it easier to move the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 compared to when the base body 2a comes into contact with the upper surface of the top plate 51 of the top plate-equipped fixture 50. It also makes it possible to prevent the surface of the top plate 51 of the top plate-equipped fixture 50 from being damaged when the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 is moved.
[0080] Furthermore, in the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 can mount multiple batteries B. According to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, since multiple batteries B can be mounted to the battery mounting unit 4, when, for example, one of the batteries B is replaced, it is possible to continue power supply from the other batteries B to the electrical device D.
[0081] Furthermore, in the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, a plurality of power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4. According to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, since a plurality of power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4, it becomes possible to supply power from the battery B attached to the battery mounting unit 4 to a plurality of electrical devices D.
[0082] In this embodiment, a configuration has been described in which two batteries B can be attached to the battery mounting unit 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one battery B or three or more batteries B may be attached to the battery mounting unit 4.
[0083] In addition, in this embodiment, a configuration has been described in which two power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which one or three or more power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4 may also be adopted.
[0084] In addition, in this embodiment, a configuration in which a felt plate 2b is provided on the base portion 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the base portion 2 does not have a felt plate 2b. For example, if the electrical equipment connection fixture is fixed to a mounting portion provided on the top plate of a fixture with a top plate, it is not necessary to provide the felt plate 2b on the base portion 2.
[0085] In the above embodiment, the opening 3b is provided in the center of the connecting fixture top panel 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, an opening that exposes the battery mounting unit 4 may be provided by cutting out the edge 3c of the connecting fixture top panel 3.
[0086] As described above, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment makes it possible to eliminate the need to supply power from the top-mounted fixture 50 to the electrical appliance D. Therefore, there is no need to install a wiring duct or a plug insertion port on the top plate 51. As shown in FIG. 1 , the top-mounted fixture 50 on which the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is placed includes a top plate 51 and legs 52. Since the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment does not require the installation of a wiring duct or a plug insertion port on the top plate 51, the upper surface 51a of the top plate 51 is a horizontal, smooth surface that is free of gaps or irregularities. In other words, the top-mounted fixture 50 includes a top plate 51 whose upper surface 51a is a horizontal, smooth surface that is free of gaps or irregularities.
[0087] With a fixture 50 with a top plate that includes such a top plate 51, it is possible to eliminate unevenness from the entire top surface 51a of the top plate 51. Furthermore, because the entire top surface 51a of the top plate 51 is a horizontal, smooth surface, it is possible to easily move the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment over the top surface 51a of the top plate 51. Furthermore, with the fixture 50 with a top plate, there is no need to provide a wiring duct for the top plate 51, so it is possible to ensure a large space below the top plate 51 (space for the worker's lower legs).
[0088] Moreover, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment comprises a base portion 2, a connection fixture top plate 3, and a power tap 5. The base portion 2 can be placed on the top plate 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50. The connection fixture top plate 3 is supported by the base portion 2. The power tap 5 is supported by the base portion 2, and a plug P of the electrical appliance D can be attached to it. Furthermore, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is provided with an edge portion 3c that protrudes above the power tap 5.
[0089] The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is a fixture that is placed on the top plate 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is also provided with an edge 3c that is located above the power strip 5. Therefore, even if liquid is spilled on the connection fixture top plate 3, the edge 3c can prevent the liquid flowing on the connection fixture top plate 3 from reaching the power strip 5. Therefore, according to the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 that is placed on the top plate 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50, it is possible to prevent liquid from splashing on the power strip 5 to which the plug P of the electrical appliance D can be attached.
[0090] In addition, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the edge 3c of the connection fixture top plate 3 is provided so as to protrude laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2. Furthermore, this edge 3c is used as a protruding wall portion that protrudes upward from the power tap 5.
[0091] According to the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the edge 3c of the connection fixture top panel 3 functions as a protruding wall. Therefore, according to the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide the protruding wall as a separate body from the connection fixture top panel 3. This makes it possible to make the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 smaller and lighter.
[0092] Furthermore, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the edge 3c of the connection fixture top plate 3 is provided around the entire circumference of the base portion 2, protruding laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2. With the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to grasp the edge 3c of the connection fixture top plate 3 from any position in the circumferential direction of the electrical equipment connection fixture 1. Therefore, with the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to grasp the edge of the connection fixture top plate 3 from any position in the circumferential direction of the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 and move the electrical equipment connection fixture 1. Therefore, with the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to easily move the electrical equipment connection fixture 1, and it is possible to improve operability when moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1.
[0093] The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a battery mounting unit 4 and internal wiring 6. The battery mounting unit 4 is supported by the base 2 and can have a battery B attached thereto. The internal wiring 6 is electrical wiring that connects the battery mounting unit 4 and the power tap 5.
[0094] According to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to supply power to the power tap 5 from the battery B. Therefore, according to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a power cable to connect the electrical device connection fixture 1 to an external power source. Therefore, according to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in the position in which the electrical device connection fixture 1 is placed. Furthermore, according to the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to improve the operability when moving the electrical device connection fixture 1.
