DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a joint tap mounting set according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] 1. Outline of joint tap installation set First, a schematic configuration of a joint tap mounting set according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating components of the joint tap mounting set according to this embodiment, and Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating the joint tap mounting set during use.

[0024] 1 and 2, the joint tap installation set 1 is an installation set for detachably installing a joint tap 13 having multiple (hereinafter referred to as two) connector modules 13M, 13M arranged side by side on a flat surface (such as the front, back or side of the tabletop) in a predetermined location such as a table top. This joint tap installation set 1 includes a slide rail 11, multiple (hereinafter referred to as four) slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12, the joint tap 13, and multiple (hereinafter referred to as two) cord clips 14, 14.

[0025] The slide rail 11 is fixed to a flat surface such as the front, back or side of a tabletop using, for example, double-sided tape, magnetic tape, screws, etc. On the surface opposite to the fixed surface of the slide rail 11, a groove portion 11G is provided to which the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 are attached. The cord clips 14, 14 are clips for holding the cord 13C connected to the joint tap 13. The slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 are attachments that can be fitted into the groove 11G of the slide rail 11 while holding the joint tap 13 or the cord clip 14. When a user performs a sliding operation with a certain amount of force or more, these slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 slide along the groove 11G in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Incidentally, the pair of slide bases 12, 12 depicted on the left side of Figures 1 and 2 are slide bases for holding a joint tap 13, and the two slide bases 12, 12 depicted on the right side of Figures 1 and 2 are slide bases for individually holding two cord clips 14, 14.

[0026] However, in this embodiment, the structure of the slide bases 12, 12 that hold the cord clips 14, 14 is common to the structure of the slide bases 12, 12 that hold the joint tap 13. This is because it is more convenient to be able to use one slide base for multiple purposes.

[0027] An elastically deformable engaged portion 12D is provided on the opposite side of the groove of each of the slide bases 12 (see FIG. 1). The engaged portion 12D is engageable with an engaging portion (not shown) provided on the end caps 13E, 13E of the joint tap 13. Moreover, the engaged portion 12D is also engageable with an engaging portion (not shown) provided on the cord clip 14. Thus, each of the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 can be used to hold both the joint tap 13 and the cord clip 14.

[0028] In addition, return portions 11R, 11R are provided on both side walls of the groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11 to prevent the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 from falling off. These return portions 11R, 11R engage with the four corners of the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12, and can prevent the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 from falling off the slide rail 11. End caps 11E, 11E are attached to both ends of the slide rail 11 to prevent the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 from falling off from both ends of the slide rail 11. In addition, the end caps 11E, 11E may be designed to be fixed to the slide rail 11 by a simple tool such as a hexagonal wrench.

[0029] 2. Structure of joint tap Next, the structure of the joint tap 13 will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the joint tap 13 includes a main frame 13F having a substantially U-shaped cross section that accommodates a plurality of (here, two) connector modules 13M, 13M arranged side by side, and a pair of end caps 13E, 13E that fit on both ends of the main frame 13F so as to sandwich the plurality of (here, two) connector modules 13M, 13M accommodated in the main frame 13F, and the pair of end caps 13E, 13E are detachably held by a pair of slide bases 12, 12 that are fixed at a predetermined interval to a groove portion 11G of a slide rail 11. Since the pair of end caps 13E, 13E have a symmetrical shape, the structure will be described here by focusing on one of the end caps 13E.

[0030] The end cap 13E is provided with an engagement portion (not shown) that can engage with the aforementioned engaged portion 12D of the slide base 12 (see FIG. 1). A user can mount the joint tap 13 on the pair of slide bases 12 by gripping the end caps 13E, 13E on both ends of the joint tap 13 and sliding it in the direction of the downward arrow in FIG. 1 while sliding it into the engaged portions 12D, 12D of the pair of slide bases 12, 12 (one-touch mounting structure).

[0031] In addition, when a user presses the lower ends of the engaged portions 12D, 12D of a pair of slide bases 12, 12 simultaneously, for example with the fingers of both hands, thereby elastically deforming the engaged portions 12D, 12D, the engagement portions (not shown) of the pair of end caps 13E, 13E are released, and the joint tap 13 can be removed from the pair of slide bases 12, 12 (one-touch removal structure). As the attachment / detachment structure between the end cap 13E and the slide base 12, other structures that allow one-touch attachment and one-touch detachment can also be adopted. Moreover, the attachment / detachment structure between the end cap 13E and the slide base 12 is similarly applied to the attachment / detachment structure between the cord clip 14 and the slide base 12.

[0032] 3. About the material Next, the material of each part will be described. The end caps 11E, 11E of the slide rail 11, the housing of the connector module 13M, 13M, the end caps 13E, 13E of the joint tap 13, and the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 are made of resin, for example, and the slide rail 11 and the main body frame 13F are made of metal, for example. The slide rail 11 and the main body frame 13F can be manufactured by extrusion molding of a metal plate such as aluminum. By extrusion molding, the slide rail 11 and the main body frame 13F of an appropriate length can be easily manufactured. In addition, if the main body frame 13F is made of metal, it is easy to respond to an increase or decrease in the number (number of ports) of the connector modules 13M, 13M. For example, if a long main body frame is prepared in advance and cut appropriately, the main body frame 13F with the required number of ports can be immediately prepared. Moreover, if the cut portions (edges) of the metal main frame 13F are covered with the resin end caps 13E, 13E, there is an advantage that safety can be ensured without taking time to process the edges.

[0033] 4. Engagement structure of slide base with respect to slide rail Next, a description will be given of the engagement structure of the slide base 12 with the slide rail 11. Since the four slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 shown in Figures 1 and 2 have a common structure, the following description will focus on one slide base 12.

[0034] Figure 3 is a diagram explaining how the engagement of the slide base with the slide rail is released / locked, Figure 4(A) is an oblique view of the slide base seen from the front side, Figure 4(B) is an oblique view of the slide base seen from the back side, Figure 4(C) is a cross-sectional view along AA in Figure 4(B), and Figure 4(D) is an oblique view showing the fitted state of the slide base with the slide rail. As shown in Figures 4(A) and (B), in addition to the aforementioned engaged portion 12D, the slide base 12 has a main body 12F that fits into the groove portion 11G, and of the four corners of this main body 12F, a pair of corners C, C that are diagonally opposite each other are chamfered or tapered, and the remaining pair of corners C', C' are not chamfered or tapered.

[0035] 3(A)→(B), when a user pinches the slide base 12 fixed to the groove portion 11G with his / her fingertips and turns the dial to the left, first the corners C', C' that are not chamfered or tapered come off the return portions 11R, 11R, and then the corners C, C that are chamfered or tapered come off the return portions 11R, 11R, so that the engagement of the slide base 12 with the return portions 11R, 11R is released. This allows the slide base 12 to be removed from the slide rail 11. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3(C) to Figure 3(D), when a user pinches the slide base 12 that is not fixed to the groove portion 11G with his / her fingertips and performs the opposite dial rotation operation (dial right rotation operation), the chamfered or tapered corners C, C engage with the return portions 11R, 11R, and then the non-chamfered or non-tapered corners C', C' engage with the return portions 11R, 11R, preventing further rotation, and thus locking the engagement of the slide base 12 with the return portions 11R, 11R. This allows the slide base 12 to be attached to the slide rail 11. Therefore, in this embodiment, when attaching / detaching the slide base 12 to / from the slide rail 11, no troublesome adjustment work such as retightening screws is required. The relationship between the return parts 11R, 11R of the slide rail 11 and the slide base 12 in the state of Figures 3(A) and (D) is as shown in detail in Figure 4(D). As shown in Figure 4(D), the return parts 11R, 11R engage with the upper and lower ends (corners C, C, C', C') of the main body 12F of the slide base 12, and the elastically deformable engaged part 12D of the slide base 12 is not engaged with the return parts 11R, 11R. Therefore, in this state, the joint tap 13 or the cord clip 14 can be attached / detached to / from the engaged part 12D of the slide base 12.

[0036] 5. Slide structure of the slide base relative to the slide rail Next, a description will be given of the sliding structure of the slide base 12 relative to the slide rail 11. As shown in Fig. 4(B) and (C), the main body 12F of the slide base 12 includes a metal slide ball 12B such as an iron ball arranged so as to protrude toward the groove portion 11G, a ball receiver 12N supporting the slide ball 12B, and an elastic member 12E such as a cushioning material (soft material) interposed between the ball receiver 12N and the slide ball 12B.

[0037] 3, a plurality of concave ball stoppers 11S for engaging the slide balls 12B are arranged in the longitudinal direction (the sliding direction of the slide base 12) of the slide rail 11 on the bottom surface of the groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11. The shape of the inner wall of the ball stopper 11S is shaped to match the shape of the surface of the slide ball 12B.

[0038] 4(C) biases the slide ball 12B toward (the bottom surface of) the groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11. Therefore, when the slide ball 12B is engaged with any of the ball stoppers 11S, the sliding position of the slide base 12 in the groove portion 11G is fixed by the pressing force of the elastic member 12E. When an external force of a certain magnitude or more is applied to the slide base 12 in the sliding direction from this state, the elastic member 12E is compressed and the slide ball 12B is pushed inward, whereby the slide ball 12B is released from the engagement with the ball stopper 11S and the slide position of the slide base 12 changes. Therefore, when a user pinches the slide base 12 fixed to the groove portion 11G with his / her hand and performs a sliding operation with a certain amount of force or more, the slide position of the slide base 12 changes, and the slide base 12 can be fixed at that position by releasing the force at the timing when the slide ball 12B is engaged with the desired ball stopper 11S. Also, when the slide ball 12B is repeatedly engaged and released from any of the ball stoppers 11S during such a sliding operation, the user's finger feels the sensation of engagement and release, and the user's ear hears a clicking sound when the slide base 12 is engaged. Therefore, the user can intuitively move and fix the slide base 12. Therefore, in this embodiment, the slide base 12 can be easily moved and fixed simply by the user's sliding operation, and no troublesome adjustment work such as retightening screws is required.

[0039] 6. Structure of the cord clip Next, the structure of the cord clip 14 will be described. FIG. 5(A) is a perspective view of the cord clip and the slide base, and FIG. 5(B) is a side view of the cord clip held by the slide base. 5(A), the above-mentioned slide base 12 is attached to the cord clip 14. In this state, an engaging portion (not shown) of the cord clip 14 engages with an engaged portion 12D of the slide base 12, and the cord clip 14 is held by the slide base 12. The cord clip 14 comprises a main body 14B, a plurality of hanging portions 14S, 14S, 14S protruding from the main body 14B for hanging the cord 13C, an open-close cover 14C for preventing the cord 13C (Figure 2) hung on the hanging portions 14S, 14S, 14S from coming loose, a hinge portion 14H interposed between the open-close cover 14C and the main body 14B, a knob portion 14C-1 provided at the tip of the open-close cover 14C, a protrusion 14C-2 provided on the back side of the knob portion 14C-1, and a protrusion 14B-1 provided on the main body 14B that engages with the protrusion 14C-2. With the opening / closing cover 14C open (FIG. 5(B)), the user can hang one to three cords 13C individually on the hanging portions 14S, 14S, 14S, and then close the opening / closing cover 14C (FIG. 5(A)), thereby causing the one to three cords 13C to be held by the cord clip 14. Note that FIG. 2, mentioned above, shows a state in which one cord 13C connected to the joint tap 13 is held by the lowermost hanging portions 14S, 14S of the cord clips 14, 14.

[0040] 7. Effects of the embodiment As described above, the joint tap mounting set 1 of this embodiment comprises slide bases 12, 12 that can be fitted into groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11 while holding the joint tap 13, slide bases 12, 12 that can be fixed to groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11 while holding the cord clips 14, 14, and return portions 11R, 11R provided on both side walls of groove portion 11G to prevent the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 from falling off.Therefore, it is possible to change the fixed destination of the joint tap 13 and the fixed destination of the cord clips 14, 14 while neatly storing the slide bases 12, 12, 12, 12 in the groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11. Furthermore, in this joint tap mounting set 1, the engagement between the return portions 11R, 11R and the slide base 12 is released / locked by the user turning the dial, so that there is no need for complicated adjustment work such as retightening screws when attaching / removing the slide base 12 to / from the slide rail 11. In addition, the slide base 12 is equipped with a slide ball 12B, a ball receiver 12N, and an elastic member 12E, and a plurality of ball stops 11S, 11S, ... are arranged in a row in the groove portion 11G of the slide rail 11. Therefore, the user can adjust the slide position of the slide base 12 simply by operating the slide, and no complicated adjustment work such as retightening screws is required. Therefore, according to the joint tap mounting set 1 of this embodiment, the area around the table can be kept neat and flexibly adapted to changes in the tabletop layout.

[0041] 8. Variations 8-1.About joint taps It is possible to arbitrarily select the combination of the numbers and types of ports of the multiple connector modules accommodated in the joint tap 13. Therefore, for example, the manufacturer of the joint tap 13 can customize the joint tap 13 by appropriately selecting the combination of the numbers and types of ports according to the delivery destination of the joint tap 13 and the requests of the user.

[0042] For example, the connector modules housed in the joint tap 13 are at least two or more connector modules selected from various connector modules such as the outlet module 14, the USB module 15, a LAN connector module, and an HDMI (registered trademark) connector module.

[0043] Also, the USB module can be selected from two types, for example, a connector for USB charging (requires power supply) and a connector for USB connection (no power supply required).Furthermore, the USB module can be selected from two types, for example, a USB-C module conforming to the USB-C standard and a USB3.0 module conforming to the USB3.0 standard. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the number of ports of the joint tap 13 (the number of connector modules) is "2", but it is also possible to expand it to, for example, "3" or more.

[0044] In addition, in order to make it easier to change (replace) the number (number of ports) and arrangement of connector modules accommodated in the joint tap 13, it is preferable that at least the width size (the longitudinal size of the main frame 13 described later) is set to be common among various connector modules.

[0045] 8-2. About the slide base The number of slide bases 12 provided in the joint tap mounting set 1 of this embodiment is "4", but is not limited to this and may be 5 or more, or may be, for example, only "2". In either case, the user of the joint tap mounting set 1 can expand the peripheral functions of the joint tap 13 by purchasing additional slide bases 12.

[0046] 8-3. What to hold on the slide base In the joint tap attachment set 1 of this embodiment, the object held by the slide base 12 is the joint tap 13 or the cord clip 14, but other devices, stationery, etc. may be increased to be held by the slide base 12. In this way, it is possible to expand the peripheral functions of the joint tap 13 and to help organize the table. For example, if a pencil holder held by the slide base 12 is prepared, pens can be stored together and the table can be organized.
