Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement such as a wiring box that is fixed to a pillar of a building on which furring strips are installed, and is placed behind a wall, and that houses wiring devices such as outlets and switches. [Background technology]

[0002] When attaching the wiring device to a wall material such as a partition wall of a building, an installation such as a wiring box that houses the wiring device is installed on a post material erected behind the wall. Here, furring strips may be installed horizontally on the front surface of the post material behind the wall. In this case, the wiring box needs to be installed on the post material so that its front surface on the front wall side is flush with the surface of the furring strip, due to its relationship with the wall material erected on its opening side. Patent Document 1 proposes a technology for such a wiring box.

[0003] The wiring box described in Patent Document 1 has a protrusion, which is a position indicator that indicates a position set back from the front surface of the wiring box by approximately the same dimension as the thickness of the furring strip installed on the front surface of the pillar material, on the edge between the side wall of the wiring box that forms the abutment surface with the pillar material and the adjacent side wall. The position indicator is designed so that the distance between the rear end of the protrusion and the front surface of the wiring box is equal to the thickness dimension of the furring strip. When attaching the wiring box to the pillar material, the rear end of the protrusion of the position indicator is aligned with the front surface of the pillar material and the abutment surface is fixed to the side surface of the pillar material. This allows the front surface of the wiring box to protrude from the front surface of the pillar material by the thickness of the furring strip, and the front surface of the wiring box and the surface of the furring strip to be positioned on the same plane.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3833516 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the wiring box described in Patent Document 1, the distance between the rear end of the protrusion on the position indicator and the front of the wiring box is set to be equal to the thickness of one furring strip, and is constant. Therefore, in locations where furring strips with a thickness different from that of the one furring strip are installed, the wiring box does not display the position where it should be fixed to the pillar material. As a result, for such furring strips, it was sometimes impossible to set the fixing position of the wiring box using the position indicator.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement body that can set the position for fixing to the pillar material in accordance with the thickness of multiple types of furring strip material. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] First Embodiment First, an arrangement according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The wiring structure of the first embodiment is a wiring box. The wiring box is fixed to a pillar behind the wall of a building and is placed behind the wall. In the following description, the up and down directions are described according to the up and down directions in Figure 1.

[0013] 1 and 2, the wiring box, which is an installation body, is formed into a rectangular box shape from a synthetic resin material and accommodates wiring devices such as outlets and switches inside. The wiring box 10 has a rectangular plate-shaped bottom wall 11 and four peripheral walls 12 extending from each periphery of the bottom wall 11, with an opening 13 formed on the opposite side of the bottom wall 11 into which a wiring device can be inserted. Bosses 14 protrude from the center of the short sides of the bottom wall 11 at both upper and lower ends thereof, to which both upper and lower ends of a wiring device mounting frame (not shown) that holds the wiring devices are fastened with screws, and the tip faces of the bosses 14 face the outside through the opening 13.

[0014] The four peripheral walls 12 are formed into a rectangular frame shape, and a pair of long-side peripheral walls 12, 12 are provided with a plurality of parallel fixing holes 16, elongated holes extending from the bottom wall 11 toward the opening 13. Each of the long-side peripheral walls 12, 12 is formed with a fixing seat 17 protruding from its outer surface. The fixing seat 17 has a plurality of parallel, spaced-apart elongated protruding plate portions 17a that protrude horizontally from the peripheral wall 12 and extend from the opening 13 toward the bottom wall 11. These fixing holes 16 and the fixing seat 17 form a fixing portion 15 for fixing to a pillar 50. The outer surface of the fixing seat 17 forms a contact surface 17b, which constitutes a contact portion 18 that contacts the pillar 50 shown in FIG. 3 and other figures. When the wiring box 10 is installed on the pillar 50, the contact surface 17b of the fixing seat 17 is fixed in a state where it is in contact with the contacted surface 51 of the pillar 50. The fixing seat 17 may be formed on only the peripheral wall 12 on one of the long sides.

[0015] A connection opening 19 to which the corrugated pipe is connected is formed in the peripheral wall 12 on the short side. A plate-like axial movement restricting portion 20 of a certain thickness that protrudes inward in the pipe radial direction is formed on the periphery of the connection opening 19, and the axial movement restricting portion 20 restricts the corrugated pipe from slipping out in the axial direction by entering a recess in the outer surface of the corrugated pipe. Although not shown, the corrugated pipe has multiple parallel protrusions in the pipe axial direction that protrude from the outer surface in the pipe radial direction, and recesses are formed between adjacent protrusions, through which electric wires such as cables are inserted to protect them.

[0016] On the upper surface and the under surface of the uppermost protruding plate portion 17a of the fixing portion 15 formed on the peripheral walls 12, 12 on both long sides, respectively, there are provided furring strip thickness indicators 21 for indicating the thickness T of the furring strip material 60 shown in Fig. 3 and other figures, which is installed on the side surface 52 that intersects with the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50 and faces the front side of the wall. The upper surface and the under surface of the lowermost protruding plate portion 17a of the fixing portion 15 are outer surfaces facing upward and downward from the protruding plate portion 17a, respectively, or in other words, they can be said to be outer surfaces facing the side that intersects with the side on which the fixing portion 15 is provided. The furring strip thickness indicator 21 is located adjacent to the abutment surface 51 of the pillar material 50, and is provided at a position set back toward the bottom wall 11 by the horizontal thickness T of the furring strip 60 installed on the pillar material 50 from the front end surface 22, which is the tip surface facing the wall surface of the peripheral wall 12 and is located at the same height as the opening 13. In other words, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the distance L1 from the furring strip thickness indicator 21 to the front end surface 22 is the same dimension as the thickness T of the furring strip 60.

[0017] A plurality of furring strip thickness display sections 21, four in this embodiment, are formed to correspond to a plurality of types, four in this embodiment, of thickness T of furring strip material 60, and are formed side by side on surface 17c extending in the horizontal direction intersecting the contact direction of contact section 18. The plurality of furring strip thickness display sections 21 are formed in a line extending in the contact direction of contact section 18, and are arranged closely together so as to be visible from the same direction.

[0018] Next, a method for installing the wiring box 10, which is the thus formed wiring unit 1 of the first embodiment, on the pillar material 50 behind the wall will be described. As shown in Figure 3, furring strips 60, which are in contact with wall panels of partition walls or the like, are installed horizontally on the side surfaces 52 of the erected pillars 50. Therefore, the surface of the furring strips 60 on the wall front side protrudes from the side surfaces 52 of the pillars 50 toward the wall front side by a thickness T.

[0019] To install the wiring box 10 in this state so that the front end surface 22 of the peripheral wall 12 is flush with the surface of the furring strip 60, first select one of the multiple furring strip thickness indicators 21 whose distance L1 from the front end surface 22 to the furring strip thickness indicator 21 is the same as the thickness T of the furring strip 60. Next, the wiring box 10 is positioned so that the linear line of the furring strip thickness indicator 21 is aligned with the side surface 52 of the pillar material 50, and the abutting surface 17b of the wiring box 10 is abutted against the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50. This determines the position of the wiring box 10 to be fixed to the pillar material 50 in accordance with the thickness T of the furring strip 60. Then, screws are inserted into the fixing holes 16 of the fixing parts 15 from the inside of the wiring box 10 and screwed into the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50 to fix it.

[0020] 3 to 5, the front end face 22 of the installed wiring box 10 protrudes beyond the side face 52 of the pillar material 50 toward the wall surface by an amount equal to the thickness T of the furring strip 60, so that the front end face 22 of the wiring box 10 and the wall surface of the furring strip 60 are aligned flush with each other, and when a wall material is then erected, the wall material abuts evenly against the opening 13 of the wiring box 10 and the surface of the furring strip 60. As a result, the wall panel is erected stably in a vertical direction from the floor surface.

[0021] Next, the operation of the arrangement 1 of the first embodiment will be described. A furring strip thickness display section 21 that displays the thickness T is provided at a position set back by the thickness T of the furring strip 60 from the front end face 22 facing the wall surface, and multiple furring strip thickness display sections 21 are formed to correspond to the thickness T of multiple types of furring strip materials 60, so the position of the arrangement body 1 to be fixed to the pillar material 50 can be set to correspond to the thickness T of multiple types of furring strip materials 60.

[0022] Here, the multiple furring strip thickness indicators 21 are arranged close together on the protruding plate portion 17a of the fixing portion 15 so that they can be seen from the same direction, so that all of the furring strip thickness indicators 21 can be seen by looking at one place. And, because the multiple furring strip thickness indicators 21 are provided on the fixing portion 15, they are easy to see when fixed.

[0023] In addition, each furring strip thickness display portion 21 is formed in a line extending in the abutment direction of the abutment portion 18, making it easy to see, and since it is aligned in a straight line with the side surface 52 of the pillar material 50, it is easy to align.

[0024] Furthermore, if six or more types of furring strip thickness display sections 21 corresponding to the multiple thicknesses T of the furring strip material 60 were provided on each of the protruding plate sections 17a at the top and bottom of the fixing section 15, it would become crowded and disorganized, making it difficult to select. However, since the number provided in this embodiment is four, there is no particular problem in selecting the furring strip thickness display section 21.

[0025] In addition, the furring strip thickness display portion 21 is a fixed portion 15 that protrudes from the frame-shaped peripheral wall 12, is formed on the outer surface of the protruding plate portion 17a, and is formed in a position adjacent to the abutting surface 51 of the pillar material 50, so it is easy to see and can be positioned adjacent to the pillar material 50.

[0026] Second Embodiment Next, an arrangement according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The installation body 2 of the second embodiment comprises an installation object and a support body 30, and the installation object is a wiring box 10 fixed to a pillar material 50 via the support body 30. Note that the installation body 1 of the first embodiment is a wiring box 10 fixed directly to the pillar material 50.

[0027] The support body 30 is formed integrally with a rectangular fixed plate portion 31 having a substantially L-shaped plate shape and a fixing portion 33, and a support arm portion 32 that intersects with one side end of the fixed plate portion 31, extends away from the fixed plate portion 31, and supports the wiring box 10 of the installation target at a position away from the pillar material 50. The support arm portion 32 supports the wiring box 10 with its wall-facing surface abutting against the outer surface of the bottom wall 11 of the wiring box 10. The support body 30 is fixed in a direction perpendicular to the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50 so that the extending direction of the support arm portion 32 is along the wall surface of the wall material.

[0028] The wiring box 10, which is the object to be installed, has the same form as the wiring box 10 of the first embodiment, and the front end face 22 facing the wall surface is positioned on the wall surface beyond the side surface 52 of the pillar material 50. However, in the second embodiment, the wiring box 10 does not need to be formed with the furring strip thickness display portion 21.

[0029] 2 and 8, the wiring box 10 has a hook portion 23 formed on the outer surface of the bottom wall 11. The hook portion 23 is supported by the support arm portion 32 with the opening 13 facing the front surface of the wall. The hook portion 23 is formed in a generally L-shaped plate shape, and an insertion opening 23b is formed at the lower end thereof, through which the support arm portion 32 is inserted from below toward the internal space 23a. In addition, an insertion hole 24, which is a vertically elongated hole through which a screw 70 is inserted from the front surface of the wall, is formed at the center position of the bottom wall 11.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6, the length L3 of the fixed plate portion 31 of the support body 30 that protrudes toward the front side of the wall is formed to be the same dimension as the length L4 from the bottom wall 11 of the wiring box 10 to the opening 13, so that when a wall material is then erected, the front end face 22 on the opening 13 side of the wiring box 10 and the front end face 39 of the fixed plate portion 31 are equally abutted against the back surface of the wall material.

[0031] The fixing plate portion 31 of the support body 30 has a plurality of fixing holes 34 formed in a portion close to the support arm portion 32, through which screws 70 are inserted. The portion of the fixing plate portion 31 where the fixing holes 34 are formed constitutes a fixing portion 33 that is fixed to the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50 with the screws 70. The outer surface of the portion of the fixing plate portion 31 opposite the fixing portion 33 constitutes an abutment surface 36 that abuts against the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50, and this abutment surface 36 constitutes an abutment portion 35.

[0032] A plurality of semicircular or U-shaped cutout holes are formed on the upper and lower end faces of the fixing plate portion 31, and these cutout holes form through-holes 37 that penetrate the contact surface 36 of the contact portion 35 and the surface opposite to this contact surface 36. This through-hole 37 forms a furring strip thickness indicator 38, and is provided at a position set back from the front end surface 39 of the wall-facing tip of the fixing plate portion 31 by the thickness T of the furring strip 60. In other words, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the distance L2 from the furring strip thickness indicator 38 to the front end surface 39 is equal to the thickness T of the furring strip 60.

[0033] The two through-holes 37 on each of the upper and lower end faces of the fixed plate portion 31, which indicate the thickness T of the furring strip 60, are arranged on the same vertical line, and if a pair of upper and lower through-holes 37, 37 located on the same vertical line constitute one furring strip thickness indicator 38, then the fixed plate portion 31 is provided with a total of two furring strip thickness indicators 38 corresponding to the furring strip 60 of two different thicknesses T. If the upper and lower through-holes 37 are not arranged on the same vertical line but are shifted horizontally from each other, then a total of four furring strip thickness indicators 38 will be provided corresponding to the furring strip 60 of four different thicknesses T. When the installation body 2 is installed on the pillar material 50, the multiple furring strip thickness indicators 38 provided on the fixed plate portion 31 are located adjacent to the wall-facing edge 51a of the abutting surface 51 of the pillar material 50. The furring strip thickness display section 38 can also be said to be located on the surface 40 opposite the abutment surface 36 of the fixing plate section 31 when viewed from the side that visually checks the position of the fixing plate section 31 when installed on the pillar material 50.

[0034] The support arm 32 of the support body 30 extends in a direction away from the fixed plate 31, is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and has a constant width perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A mounting hole 41, which is a thin, elongated hole into which the shank of a screw 70 can be screwed, is formed in the middle of the width of the support arm 32 and extends along the longitudinal direction.

[0035] Next, a method for installing the wiring box 10 of the second embodiment configured as above on the pillar material 50 via the support body 30 will be described. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, furring strips 60 are installed horizontally between the pillars 50 on the side surfaces 52 of the upright pillars 50. First, the wiring box 10 is attached and supported at any longitudinal position on the support arms 32 of the support body 30. To do this, the hooks 23 formed on the outer surface of the bottom wall 11 of the wiring box 10 are hooked onto the support arms 32, and the support arms 32 are inserted through the insertion openings 23b at the lower ends of the hooks 23. Next, screws 70 are inserted from the front side of the wall through the interior of the wiring box 10 and into the insertion holes 24 at the center of the bottom wall 11, and then screwed into the mounting holes 41 of the support arms 32 inserted into the hooks 23. This fixes and supports the wiring box 10 on the support arms 32.

[0036] Next, of the two furring strip thickness indicators 38 consisting of two pairs of upper and lower cutout holes formed on the upper and lower end faces of the fixing plate 31 of the support body 30, the furring strip thickness indicator 38 is selected whose distance L2 from the front end face 39 to the furring strip thickness indicator 38 is the same as the thickness T of the furring strip 60, and the support body 30 is moved in the front-to-rear direction until the position of the selected furring strip thickness indicator 38 is aligned with the side face 52 of the pillar material 50, and the abutting surface 36 of the fixing plate 31 is abutted against the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50. This determines the position of the wiring box 10 to be fixed to the pillar material 50 in accordance with the thickness T of the furring strip 60. Then, a screw 70 is inserted through the fixing hole 34 of the fixing plate 31 and screwed into the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50 to fix it.

[0037] As a result, the front end face 39 of the installed wiring box 10 protrudes from the side face 52 of the pillar material 50 toward the wall surface by an amount equal to the thickness T of the furring strip 60, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, so that the front end face 22 of the wiring box 10, the front end face 39 of the fixing plate portion 31, and the surface of the furring strip 60 are all aligned on the same plane. Therefore, when the wall material is subsequently erected, the wall material will abut evenly against the opening 13 of the wiring box 10 and the surface of the furring strip 60. Therefore, the wall panel is erected stably in a vertical direction from the floor surface.

[0038] In the above, the wiring box 10 is supported on the support arm 32 of the support body 30 to form the arrangement body 2, and then fixed to the pillar material 50, but it is also possible to first fix the support body 30 to the pillar material 50 and then support the wiring box 10 on the support arm 32.

[0039] In the second embodiment of the arrangement body 2, all of the multiple furring strip thickness display sections 38 are provided on the fixing plate section 31, so that all of the furring strip thickness display sections 38 can be seen by looking at one place, and since all of them are positioned close to the fixing section 33, they are easy to see when fixing.

[0040] The multiple furring strip thickness display sections 38 are formed on the surface 40 opposite the abutting surface 36 of the fixed plate section 31, adjacent to the edge 51a on the wall surface side of the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50, so that they are easy to see, can be adjacent to the pillar material 50 and are easy to align.

[0041] Incidentally, in the first embodiment, the furring strip thickness indicators 21 are formed as protrusions with a semicircular cross section, but the cross section may be formed in other shapes. For example, if the upper end is sharpened to a triangular or wedge-shaped cross section, it becomes easier to align more accurately with the side surface 52 of the pillar material 50. Furthermore, the furring strip thickness indicators 21 are formed in lines, and although all of them are formed with the same length, they may differ for each furring strip thickness indicator 21. However, the end faces of all furring strip thickness indicators 21 facing the abutted surface 51 of the pillar material 50 are aligned with the position of the abutting surface 17b. Furthermore, the furring strip thickness indicators 21 may be formed in shapes other than lines.

[0042] In addition, the multiple furring strip thickness display sections 21 may have different shapes. This makes it possible to recognize each shape and avoid selecting the wrong furring strip thickness display section 21 when installing the wiring box 10 on the pillar 50.

[0043] In each of the above embodiments, the number of types of furring strip thickness display sections corresponding to the plurality of thicknesses T of the furring strip 60 is between two and five, but six or more may be provided.

[0044] In addition, the furring strip thickness display section is not limited to that of the above embodiments, but for example, a number of thin vertical grooves may be formed on the plate surface, and when aligning the mounting body when installing it on the pillar material 50, a specific vertical groove may be selected and a card inserted into this vertical groove so that part of it protrudes from the plate surface.In this case, the card can be placed along the side surface 52 of the pillar material 50, making alignment easy.

[0045] The outer surfaces of the furring strip thickness indicators may be colored in different colors. In this case, the selected furring strip thickness indicator is clearly identified, making it difficult to align the wrong furring strip thickness indicator.

[0046] Furthermore, scales, numbers, letters, symbols, etc., such as standards, may be displayed around each furring strip thickness display section. In this case, it becomes easier to select the furring strip thickness display section that corresponds to the thickness T of the furring strip 60.

[0047] Furthermore, magnets may be embedded in the corresponding positions of the pillar material 50 and the furring strip thickness display portion, in which case alignment is easy.

[0048] The wiring box 10 of the second embodiment does not have to have the same configuration as the wiring box 10 of the first embodiment. Furthermore, the mounting structure of the wiring box 10 of the second embodiment to the support arm 32 may be, for example (not shown), such that a recess of a fixed width into which the support arm 32 fits is provided in the bottom wall 11, the support arm 32 is fitted into this recess, and a screw 70 is inserted from the back side into an elongated hole formed in the support arm 32 and screwed into a threaded hole provided in the recess in the bottom wall 11. In short, the mounting structure is not critical as long as the wiring box 10 can be mounted at an appropriate position in the longitudinal direction of the support arm 32.

[0049] In addition, if the wiring box 10 has a recess of a certain width in the bottom wall 11 into which the support arm portion 32 fits, the length L3 of the fixing plate portion 31 protruding toward the surface of the wall will be shorter than the length L4 from the bottom wall 11 to the opening 13 by the depth of the recess in the bottom wall 11.

[0050] The support arm 32 of the second embodiment may be formed from two plates of different widths, and the length may be adjusted by overlapping portions of the two plates. In the case of this support arm 32, the support body 30 can be installed between the two pillars 50 in accordance with the distance between the two pillars 50.

[0051] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, all of the multiple furring strip thickness indicators are formed in the specific positions described in each claim, but this does not prevent the furring strip thickness indicators other than at least two of the multiple furring strip thickness indicators from being formed in positions other than the specific positions described in each claim. For example, some of the multiple furring strip thickness indicators may be located at positions distant from each other rather than in close proximity. Furthermore, all of the furring strip thickness indicators may be located at positions distant from each other.

[0052] In addition, the installation body and installation target body in each of the above embodiments are not limited to a wiring box, but may be other objects. [Explanation of symbols]
