Description

The present invention relates to a power supply fixture and fixture system.

In recent years, electronic devices such as notebook PCs (personal computers), tablet terminals, mobile phone terminals, and smartphones have been increasingly used. In various facilities where an unspecified number of people gather, such as airports and lobby of office buildings, there are more and more cases in which electronic devices are charged or work is performed using electronic devices during waiting time etc. A USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or the like capable of supplying power to a chair or the like is being installed.

For example, Patent Document 1 includes a leg body installed on a floor, a seat portion supported by the leg body, and an outlet box supported by the leg body and arranged between adjacent seat portions, A chair provided with an outlet in an outlet box has been proposed.

However, in the furniture such as the chair described in Patent Document 1 described above, when the seated person supplies power to the electronic device while sitting, the work of inserting the connector of the cable of the electronic device into the outlet while bending forward is performed. , It is difficult to insert it. Also, if an outlet is provided on the top plate provided on the upper side of the outlet box, when a seated person uses the top plate to eat and drink, food and drink placed on the top plate will spill May break down.

Therefore, as described in Patent Document 2, a partition has been proposed in which an outlet is provided between the wall plate arranged on the upper side and the wall plate arranged on the lower side. If this partition is installed adjacent to furniture such as chairs and tables, the possibility that the food and drink of the user of the furniture will be mixed into the outlet is reduced.

However, when attempting to install the partition described in Patent Document 2 described above, there is a problem in that a work for fixing the partition to the floor, the ceiling, and the like with screws and nails is required, which is a large-scale work (construction). is there. Further, it is necessary to pass the wiring connecting the external breaker and the outlet of the partition between the decorative plates forming the front and back surfaces of the partition, which causes a problem of complicated wiring work. Furthermore, when other furniture is installed near the partition, it is difficult to secure a space for wiring work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a power supply fixture that is disposed adjacent to a fixture, which can facilitate installation of the power supply fixture itself and efficiently perform wiring work. The present invention provides a fixture and a fixture system for supplying power that can be performed.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.
That is, the power supply fixture according to the present invention is a power supply fixture installed adjacent to the fixture, and is a support body installed on the floor surface and supported by the support body and extends in the horizontal direction. a horizontal member which is disposed above the floor, along the extending direction of the front Kiyoko bridging material, a plurality provided in the horizontal member comprises a feedable feeding unit, wherein the power supply unit Is provided on both side surfaces of the horizontal member that face each other in the horizontal direction .

In the power supply fixture thus configured, the horizontal member is arranged above the floor surface, so that a space is formed between the floor surface and the horizontal member. Therefore, when installing the power supply fixture, the power supply fixture can be installed by carrying the lower side of the horizontal member by hand and installing the support on the floor at a predetermined location. Therefore, the installation work can be facilitated.
Further, the power feeding unit capable of feeding power is provided on the horizontal member. Therefore, when connecting the power supply unit and an external power source, etc., it is possible to work by entering the space that extends vertically between the horizontal member and the floor surface.
