Description

The present invention relates to an article-placing fixture.

In work spaces such as offices, public facilities, and schools, it is common to use fixtures with tops to improve the work efficiency of workers. In recent years, it has become common to use electronic devices in work. For this reason, many fixtures with tops are equipped with wiring compartments to accommodate wiring such as power cables and LAN (Local Area Network) cables. For example, this wiring compartment is located inside the fixture, below the top. Furthermore, power strips and other devices for supplying power to electronic devices are placed inside such wiring compartments.

Placing a power strip or similar device inside the wiring housing reduces access to the power strip. To address this issue of reduced access to the power strip, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose fixtures with a top that have an outlet on the top for inserting a power plug.

Patent No. 6173709 Patent No. 6812735

As mentioned above, in order to power electrical equipment, including electronic devices such as laptops and tablet devices, it is necessary to house a power strip in a wiring storage area or provide an outlet plug on 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.

For example, in order to avoid the constraints imposed by the power cables of such tabletop-equipped fixtures, it is possible 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 item-mounting fixtures, there is no need to connect a power cable to the tabletop-equipped fixture.

However, when moving an item-holding fixture on the top of a tabletop-equipped fixture, there is a risk that containers containing liquid, such as cups or plastic bottles, may tip over onto the item-holding fixture. Because item-holding fixtures have a smaller item-holding surface than tabletop-equipped fixtures, liquid spilling from an overturned container could reach the terminal mounting area where external connection terminals for electrical equipment can be attached, potentially causing malfunctions.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to prevent liquid from splashing onto the terminal mounting section, to which external connection terminals for electrical equipment can be attached, of an item mounting fixture that is used by placing it on the top of a fixture with a top.

The present invention employs the following configuration as a means to solve the above problems.

The first aspect of the present invention is an article-mounting fixture that includes a base portion that can be placed on the top of a tabletop-equipped fixture, 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, with a protruding wall portion protruding above the terminal mounting portion.

The first aspect of the article display fixture of the present invention is a fixture that is placed on the top plate of a top-mounted fixture. The article display 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 display fixture top, the protruding wall portion can prevent the liquid flowing on the article display fixture top from reaching the terminal mounting portion. Therefore, the article display fixture of the first aspect of the present invention makes it possible to prevent liquid from splashing on the terminal mounting portion, to which external connection terminals for electrical equipment can be attached, in an article display fixture that is placed on the top plate of a top-mounted fixture.

A second aspect of the present invention is the same as the first aspect, except that the edge of the article placement top plate protrudes laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion, and the protruding wall portion is the edge of the article placement top plate.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the edge of the article-placing 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-placing top plate. This makes it possible to reduce the size and weight of the article-placing fixture.

A third aspect of the present invention is the second aspect, wherein the edge of the article placement top plate protrudes laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion along the entire periphery of the base portion.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to grasp the edge of the article storage top 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 grasp the edge of the article storage top 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 operability when moving the article storage fixture.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is the second or third aspect, which is configured to include a handle provided on the underside of the edge.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the item 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 item storage fixture can be easily moved, improving operability when moving the item storage fixture.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is a configuration in which the base portion of any one of the first to fourth aspects comprises a base portion main body and a low-friction portion connected to the underside of the base portion main body and having a low-friction surface with a lower friction coefficient than the underside of the base portion main body.

In a fifth aspect of the present invention, the low-friction surface of the low-friction portion comes into contact with 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 portion main body comes into contact with 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.

A sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, is configured to include 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.

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, there is no need to provide a power cable to connect the item 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 item storage fixture is placed. Furthermore, according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the operability when moving the item storage fixture.

The present invention relates to an item display fixture that includes a base portion that can be placed on the top plate of a display fixture with a top plate, an item display 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 item display fixture that is used by placing it on the top plate of a display fixture with a top plate, it is possible to prevent liquid from getting on the terminal mounting portion to which an external connection terminal of an electrical device can be attached.

Below, one embodiment of an item storage fixture according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
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-mounted fixture 50.

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 electrical device D include portable tablet terminals, wireless communication routers, desktop desk lamps, desktop fans, and displays.

Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the general 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 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).

The base 2 is a component that can be placed on the top plate 51 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 and has an internal storage space K. It directly or indirectly supports the connection fixture top plate 3, battery mounting unit 4, power tap 5, and internal wiring 6. The base 2 has a base body 2a and a felt plate 2b (low-friction portion).

The base main 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 roughly 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 and opposite each other. The two short sides 2c2 are also arranged parallel and opposite each other. These long sides 2c1 and 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.

The peripheral wall 2c is formed with a constant thickness. The space enclosed by this peripheral wall 2c is the storage space K that houses the internal wiring 6 and other components. In other words, the base 2 includes a base body 2a that has the storage space K.

In addition, each long side 2c1 of the peripheral wall 2c is provided with a power outlet opening 2e that penetrates the long side 2c1 horizontally and connects the storage space K to the outside of the peripheral wall 2c. Two power outlet openings 2e are provided adjacent to each other in the extension direction of the long side 2c1. These power outlet openings 2e are openings for exposing the plug insertion ports 5a provided on the power strip 5. These power outlet openings 2e are also located above the bottom plate 2d.

The bottom plate portion 2d is a flat portion that connects one long side portion 2c1 of the peripheral wall portion 2c to the other long side portion 2c1. The bottom plate portion 2d is connected to the lower part of the peripheral wall portion 2c so that its lower surface is flush with the lower surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c.

This 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 needed. 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.

As shown in Figure 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, workers can reach into the storage space K and place items in and out through the gap between the bottom plate portion 2d and the short side portion 2c2.

As mentioned above, the underside of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the underside of the bottom plate portion 2d are flush with each other by being positioned at the same height. The underside 2a1 of the base main body 2a is formed by the underside of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the underside of the bottom plate portion 2d. This underside 2a1 of the base main body 2a is the mounting surface for the felt plate 2b.

This base body 2a is formed by sheet metal processing a plate made of a metal material such as stainless steel. However, the base body 2a can also be formed from other materials.

The felt plate 2b is a plate-shaped member made of felt. The coefficient of friction of the surface where the felt is exposed on this felt plate 2b is lower than the coefficient of friction of the surface of the base main body 2a. The felt plate 2b has exposed felt on at least its underside. In other words, the underside of the felt plate 2b has a lower coefficient of friction than the underside 2a1 of the base main body 2a.

The felt plate 2b is attached to the underside 2a1 of the base main body 2a with adhesive or the like. The felt plate 2b is formed in the shape of the underside 2a1 of the base main body 2a (i.e., the shape of the combined underside of the peripheral wall portion 2c and the underside of the bottom plate portion 2d), and covers the entire underside 2a1 of the base main body 2a.

The underside of this felt plate 2b is a low-friction surface 2b1 with a lower coefficient of friction than the underside 2a1 of the base body 2a. In other words, in this embodiment, the base 2 has a low-friction surface 2b1 with a lower coefficient of friction than the underside 2a1 of the base body 2a, and is equipped with a felt plate 2b connected to the underside 2a1 of the base body 2a.

By providing this felt plate 2b, the coefficient of friction of the underside of the base portion 2 is smaller than when the felt plate 2b is not provided. The low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b is the contact surface that comes into contact with the top plate 51 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 from above. In other words, the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is placed on the top plate 51 with the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b in contact with the top plate 51.

Note that as long as the low-friction surface 2b1 of the felt plate 2b is formed from felt, other portions of the felt plate 2b may be formed from a different material. In other words, the felt plate 2b may be formed from a highly rigid base made from a material other than felt, and felt fixed to the base to form the low-friction surface 2b1.

The connecting furniture top panel 3 is a plate-shaped 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 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. Part of the upper surface of the connecting furniture top panel 3 may be a flat work surface, and the other part may be used for a purpose other than the work surface.

An opening 3b is provided in the center of this connecting fixture top plate 3. The opening 3b is rectangular. The opening 3b is located above the bottom plate 2d of the base 2. This opening 3b exposes the upper part of the battery mounting unit 4 placed on the bottom plate 2d. The opening 3b is formed in approximately the same shape as the battery mounting unit 4 in a plan view. In this embodiment, the opening 3b exposes the mounting surface of the mounting tray 4b (described below) installed on the top of the battery mounting unit 4.

The connecting furniture top panel 3 is formed to a size that covers the entire base portion 2 in a plan view. The connecting furniture top panel 3 is also formed to a size that causes the edge portion 3c (protruding 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 beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2 (the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 2c) around its entire periphery.

As shown in Figure 1, this edge portion 3c protrudes from above and covers the outlet opening 2e of the peripheral wall portion 2c. In other words, the edge portion 3c is positioned above the plug insertion port 5a of the power strip 5 exposed in the outlet opening 2e, and protrudes from the base portion 2 above the plug insertion port 5a.

For example, suppose a container containing liquid tips over on the work surface 3a of the connecting fixture top 3, causing the liquid to spill from the container. Furthermore, suppose the spilled liquid flows across the work surface 3a and from the outer edge of the connecting fixture top 3 onto the top 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50. The liquid flowing down from the outer edge of the connecting fixture top 3 falls vertically from the outer edge of the connecting fixture top 3. Here, the edge 3c of the connecting fixture top 3 protrudes further outward from the base 2 than the outer edge (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 fixture 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 fixture top 3. In this way, even if liquid is spilled on the work surface 3a of the connection fixture top 3, the edge 3c prevents the liquid from coming into contact with the outlet opening 2e (i.e., the plug insertion port 5a).

Furthermore, because this 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), it can be grasped by an operator. Therefore, when moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the operator can grasp the edge portion 3c to perform the work.

Note that the edge 3c does not have to protrude outside the base 2 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 outside the base 2 may be provided locally above the outlet opening 2e or in a position that is easy to grip when moving the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment.

The battery mounting unit 4 is supported by the base 2 and is a unit to which battery B can be attached. The battery mounting unit 4 converts the DC power output from battery B into AC power and supplies it to the power tap 5 via internal wiring 6. This battery mounting unit 4 includes a case 4a, a mounting tray 4b, and an inverter 4c.

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 or screws, but it may also be placed without being fixed.

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 the inverter 4c inside.

The loading tray 4b is a tray member provided with two (or multiple) mounting recesses 4b1 to which batteries B can be removably attached in the vertical direction. The loading tray 4b is formed in approximately the same shape as the opening 3b in the connection fixture top panel 3 so as to close the opening 3b. Because the loading tray 4b has two mounting recesses 4b1, multiple batteries B can be attached to the battery mounting unit 4 in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment.

Furthermore, this loading tray 4b is positioned adjacent to the upper surface (work surface 3a) of the connecting fixture top panel 3. Because the loading tray 4b is positioned adjacent to and surrounded by the upper surface (work surface 3a) of the connecting fixture top panel 3, it is possible to easily place the replacement battery B on the work surface 3a, regardless of the direction from which the battery B is to be replaced.

The mounting recess 4b1 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the lower part of battery B, allowing it to accommodate the lower part of battery B. The mounting recess 4b1 is provided with terminals connected to the negative and positive terminals at the bottom of battery B attached to the mounting recess 4b1. Figure 3 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the electrical connections of the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, in the battery mounting unit 4, the loading tray 4b having the mounting recess 4b1 is electrically connected to the inverter 4c.

The inverter 4c is a converter that converts the DC power output from battery B into AC power. As shown in Figure 3, the inverter 4c is connected to the power strip 5 via internal wiring 6. By converting DC power into AC power in this way, the inverter 4c can extract AC power similar to that from a general commercial power source from the plug insertion port 5a of the power strip 5.

The battery mounting unit 4 may also be equipped with a control device (not shown). For example, when multiple batteries B are attached to the battery mounting unit 4, the control device may select a battery B that will consume power.

In this type of battery mounting unit 4, only the upper mounting tray 4b is exposed, with the rest of the unit being located in the storage space K of the base 2. In other words, the inverter 4c housed in the case 4a is located in the storage space K of the base 2.

The power tap 5 is a component that is supported on the base 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 2d of the base 2. In other words, these power taps 5 are arranged in the storage space K of the base 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the power tap 5 is located at the end of the bottom plate 2d, and the battery mounting unit 4 is located in the center of the bottom plate 2d. In other words, the power tap 5 is installed on the bottom plate 2d at a different position from the battery mounting unit 4.

Each power strip 5 also 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 that they are exposed by the outlet openings 2e. In this embodiment, each power strip 5 is fixed with the plug insertion ports 5a facing sideways so that the plugs P can be inserted and removed sideways.

In this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 allows the battery B to be attached and detached in the vertical direction. In other words, 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.

Each of these power taps 5 is connected to the battery mounting unit 4 via internal wiring 6. In other words, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, multiple power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4. In this electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, power is supplied to multiple power taps 5 from a single battery mounting unit 4.

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 portion 2. In other words, the internal wirings 6 are not visible from the outside.

Each internal wiring 6 electrically connects the inverter 4c of the battery mounting unit 4 to the plug insertion port 5a of the power strip 5. Each internal wiring 6 conducts AC power output from the inverter 4c to the plug insertion port 5a.

In the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment configured as described above, battery B is attached to the mounting recess 4b1 of the battery mounting unit 4, and the plug P of electrical appliance D is inserted into the plug insertion port 5a of the power strip 5. The battery mounting unit 4 converts DC power output from battery B into AC power using the inverter 4c. The AC power generated by the inverter 4c is supplied to the power strip 5 via internal wiring 6 and then to electrical appliance D from the plug insertion port 5a of the power strip 5.

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.

The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment as described above includes a base 2. The base 2 can be placed on the top plate 51 of the top-mounted 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 2 and can have a battery B attached to it. The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a power strip 5. The power strip 5 is supported by the base 2 at a different position from the battery mounting unit 4 and can have a plug P of an electrical device D attached to it. 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.

The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is a fixture that is placed on the top plate 51 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 50. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is provided with a battery mounting unit 4, to which battery B can be attached. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a power strip 5 to which a plug P of electrical appliance D can be attached, and power from battery B can be supplied to electrical appliance D via internal wiring 6. In other words, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment allows power to be supplied from battery B to electrical appliance D, eliminating the need for power supply from the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 to electrical appliance D. Therefore, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment prevents the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 from being restricted by the installation of a power cable.

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.

With the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the inverter 4c can convert the DC power output from the battery B into AC power and supply it to the power strip 5. This makes it possible to supply power to general electrical appliances D that can be powered from a 100V commercial power source.

Furthermore, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the inverter 4c is placed in the storage space K. As such, with the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the inverter 4c is placed in the storage space K of the base portion 2, making it possible to prevent the inverter 4c from being visible from the outside.

The electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a connection fixture top plate 3. The connection fixture top plate 3 is supported from below by the base portion 2, and a work surface 3a is provided on at least a portion of the upper surface.

In this embodiment of the electrical equipment connection fixture 1, 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-mounted fixture 50 that is reduced by placing the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 on the top panel 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50 can be compensated for by the work surface 3a of the connection fixture top panel 3.

In addition, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 has a mounting tray 4b to which the battery B can be attached and detached in the vertical direction. Furthermore, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the mounting tray 4b is positioned adjacent to the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3.

In the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the mounting tray 4b of the battery mounting unit 4 is positioned adjacent to the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3. This makes it possible, for example, to place a 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 a battery B, the battery B can be temporarily placed on the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3, and the battery B placed on the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3 can be easily attached to the adjacent mounting tray 4b. Therefore, the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment makes it possible to improve the usability of the electrical device connection fixture 1.

Furthermore, with the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the loading tray 4b is positioned 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 fixture with top plate 50, the loading tray 4b can be positioned higher than the top plate 51 of the fixture with top plate 50. This allows the loading tray 4b to be positioned away from the top plate 51 of the fixture with top plate 50, so that the connection point between the battery B and the battery mounting unit 4 is away from the top plate 51 of the fixture with top plate 50. Therefore, even if an operator were to spill liquid on the top plate 51 of the fixture with top plate 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.

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 also placed in the opening 3b. With this electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the loading tray 4b is placed in the opening provided in the connection fixture top panel 3, and the upper surface of the connection fixture top panel 3 is positioned to surround the loading tray 4b. As a result, a work surface 3a can 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.

In addition, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the base portion 2 comprises a base portion main body 2a and a felt plate 2b. The base portion main body 2a has an accommodation space K. The felt plate 2b has a low-friction surface 2b1 with a lower friction coefficient than the underside 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a, and is connected to the underside 2a1 of the base portion main body 2a.

With 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-mounted fixture 50. This makes it easier to move the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 than when the base main body 2a comes into contact with the upper surface of the top plate 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50. It also makes it possible to prevent damage to the surface of the top plate 51 of the top-mounted fixture 50 when the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 is moved.

Furthermore, in the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 can be fitted with multiple batteries B. With the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, multiple batteries B can be fitted to the battery mounting unit 4. Therefore, for example, when replacing one of the batteries B, it is possible to continue power supply from the other batteries B to the electrical device D.

Furthermore, in the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, multiple power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4. With the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, because multiple power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4, it is possible to supply power to multiple electrical devices D from the battery B attached to the battery mounting unit 4.

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.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a configuration in which two power taps 5 are connected to the battery mounting unit 4 has been described. 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.

Furthermore, 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, there is no need to provide a felt plate 2b on the base portion 2.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a configuration in which an opening 3b is provided in the center of the connecting fixture top panel 3 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a configuration in which an opening exposing the battery mounting unit 4 is provided by cutting out the edge portion 3c of the connecting fixture top panel 3 may be adopted.

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 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 comprises a top plate 51 and legs 52. Because the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment does not require the installation of a wiring duct or plug insertion port on the top plate 51, the upper surface 51a of the top plate 51 is a horizontal, smooth surface without any gaps or irregularities. In other words, the top-mounted fixture 50 comprises a top plate 51 whose entire upper surface 51a is a horizontal, smooth surface.

With a tabletop-equipped fixture 50 equipped with such a tabletop 51, it is possible to eliminate unevenness from the entire top surface 51a of the tabletop 51. Furthermore, because the entire top surface 51a of the tabletop 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 tabletop 51. Furthermore, with the tabletop-equipped fixture 50, there is no need to provide a wiring duct for the tabletop 51, so it is possible to ensure a large space below the tabletop 51 (space for the worker's lower legs).

The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes a base 2, a connection fixture top panel 3, and a power tap 5. The base 2 can be placed on the top panel 51 of the top-equipped fixture 50. The connection fixture top panel 3 is supported by the base 2. The power tap 5 is supported by the base 2 and can have a plug P of the electrical appliance D attached to it. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment also includes an edge 3c that protrudes above the power tap 5.

The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is a fixture that is placed on the top plate 51 of the fixture with a top plate 50. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment is also provided with an edge 3c 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, with the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, when the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 is placed on the top plate 51 of the fixture with a top plate 50, it is possible to prevent liquid from getting on the power strip 5 to which the plug P of the electrical appliance D can be attached.

In addition, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the edge 3c of the connection fixture top plate 3 protrudes laterally beyond the outer edge of the base 2. This edge 3c is also used as a protruding wall that protrudes upward from the power strip 5.

With the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the edge 3c of the connection fixture top plate 3 functions as a protruding wall. Therefore, with the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, there is no need to provide a protruding wall as a separate body from the connection fixture top plate 3. This makes it possible to make the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 smaller and lighter.

Furthermore, in the electrical equipment connection fixture 1 of this embodiment, the edge 3c of the connection fixture top plate 3 is arranged around the entire circumference of the base portion 2, protruding laterally beyond the outer edge of the base portion 2. With this 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 around the circumference 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 around the circumference 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, improving operability when moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1.

The electrical equipment 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 accommodate a battery B. The internal wiring 6 is electrical wiring that connects the battery mounting unit 4 and the power strip 5.

The electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment allows power to be supplied to the power strip 5 from battery B. Therefore, the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment does not require a power cable to connect the electrical device connection fixture 1 to an external power source. Therefore, the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment allows for greater freedom in the position in which the electrical device connection fixture 1 is placed. Furthermore, the electrical device connection fixture 1 of this embodiment allows for improved operability when moving the electrical device connection fixture 1.

Each handle protrusion 3e protrudes downward from the underside of the connecting furniture top panel 3 and is shaped like a block that allows workers to place their fingers on it.

These handle protrusions 3e are used by an operator to hook their fingers when moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1B of this embodiment. For example, the operator hooks their fingers on one or both of the handle protrusions 3e and slides the electrical equipment connection fixture 1B of this embodiment over the top plate 51 of the fixture with top plate 50, thereby moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1B.

With the electrical device connection fixture 1B of this embodiment, the electrical device connection fixture 1B can be easily moved by placing a finger on the handle protrusion 3e provided on the underside of the edge 3c. Therefore, with the electrical device connection fixture 1B of this embodiment, the electrical device connection fixture 1B can be easily moved, improving operability when moving the electrical device connection fixture 1B.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 6. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

Figure 6(a) is a perspective view showing the general configuration of the electrical appliance connection fixture 1C of this embodiment.

The handhold recesses 3f are located at each longitudinal end of the connecting furniture top panel 3. Each handhold recess 3f is recessed into the underside of the connecting furniture top panel 3 and is shaped to allow workers to hook their fingers.

These recessed handles 3f are used by an operator to hook his or her fingers when moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1C of this embodiment. For example, the operator hooks his or her fingers into one or both of the recessed handles 3f and slides the electrical equipment connection fixture 1C of this embodiment over the top plate 51 of the fixture with top plate 50, thereby moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1C.

With the electrical device connection fixture 1C of this embodiment, the electrical device connection fixture 1C can be easily moved by placing a finger in the recessed handle 3f provided on the underside of the edge 3c. Therefore, with the electrical device connection fixture 1C of this embodiment, the electrical device connection fixture 1C can be easily moved, improving operability when moving the electrical device connection fixture 1C.

Fifth Embodiment
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

Figure 7 is a block diagram that schematically illustrates the electrical connections of the electrical appliance connection fixture 1D of this embodiment. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1D of this embodiment includes a battery 20 as part of it.

The battery 20 is detachable from the battery mounting unit 4. For example, the battery 20 can be removed from the battery mounting unit 4 and charged using an external charger.

Like the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of the first embodiment, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1D 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 1D of this embodiment is provided with a battery mounting unit 4, to which a battery 20 can be attached. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1D of this embodiment also includes a power strip 5 to which a plug P of the electrical appliance D can be attached, and power from the battery 20 can be supplied to the electrical appliance D via internal wiring 6. In other words, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1D of this embodiment allows power to be supplied from the battery 20 to the electrical appliance D, eliminating the need for the top-mounted fixture 50 to supply power to the electrical appliance D. Therefore, like the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of the first embodiment, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1D of this embodiment prevents the top-mounted fixture 50 from being restricted by the presence of a power cable.

Furthermore, the electrical device connection fixture 1D of this embodiment is equipped with a battery 20. Therefore, in the electrical device connection fixture 1D of this embodiment, the battery 20 becomes part of the electrical device connection fixture 1D. This makes it possible, for example, to design the battery 20 exclusively for the electrical device connection fixture 1D.

In this embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the battery 20 is detachable from the battery mounting unit 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the battery 20 may be fixed to the battery mounting unit 4. In such a case, for example, a charger (not shown) may be connected to the battery 20 of the electrical equipment connection fixture 1D as needed to charge the battery 20. Charging of this battery 20 can be performed by moving the electrical equipment connection fixture 1D from above the top plate 51 of the top-plate-equipped fixture 50.

Sixth Embodiment
Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 8. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

Figure 8 is a block diagram that schematically illustrates the electrical connections of the electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, the battery mounting unit 4 in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment does not include an inverter 4c. In this embodiment, the battery mounting unit 4 includes a DCDC converter 4d instead of the inverter 4c.

The DC-DC converter 4d converts the voltage of the DC power output from the battery B and outputs it. This DC-DC converter 4d is housed, for example, inside the case 4a. This DC-DC converter 4d changes the voltage of the battery B and supplies it to the power tap 5.

In addition, in this embodiment, the power tap 5 has multiple plug insertion ports 5b for outputting DC power. These plug insertion ports 5b are, for example, USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports for outputting DC power.

Like the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of the first embodiment, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment is a fixture that is placed on the top plate 51 of the tabletop-equipped fixture 50. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment is provided with a battery mounting unit 4, to which battery B can be attached. The electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment also includes a power strip 5 to which a plug P of electrical appliance D can be attached, allowing power from battery B to be supplied to electrical appliance D via internal wiring 6. In other words, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment allows power to be supplied from battery B to electrical appliance D, eliminating the need for power supply from the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 to electrical appliance D. Therefore, like the electrical appliance connection fixture 1 of the first embodiment, the electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment prevents the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 from being restricted by the presence of a power cable.

Furthermore, in the electrical appliance connection fixture 1E of this embodiment, DC power can be supplied to the electrical appliance D from the plug insertion port 5b. This makes it possible to supply power to the electrical appliance D via, for example, a USB cable.

Seventh Embodiment
Next, a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

Figure 9 is a block diagram that schematically illustrates the electrical connections of the electrical appliance connection fixture 1F of this embodiment.

The electrical appliance connection fixture 1F of this embodiment also includes a wireless communication router 30.

The signal line connection tap 7 is connected to the wireless communication router 30 via internal wiring 8. Each signal line connection tap 7 is provided with, for example, two plug insertion ports 7a for signal transmission. These plug insertion ports 7a are, for example, USB ports for signal transmission.

Although not shown in Figure 9, the signal line connection tap 7, like the power tap 5 of the first embodiment, is placed on the bottom plate 2d of the base 2 and is arranged in the storage space K of the base 2. The signal line connection tap 7 is arranged at the end of the bottom plate 2d, and the battery mounting unit 4 is arranged in the center of the bottom plate 2d. In other words, the signal line connection tap 7 is installed on the bottom plate 2d at a different position from the battery mounting unit 4.

The internal wiring 8 connects the battery mounting unit 4 and the signal line connection tap 7 via the wireless communication router 30. In this embodiment, two internal wirings 8 are provided. One internal wiring 8 connects the battery mounting unit 4 to one of the signal line connection taps 7. The other internal wiring 8 connects the battery mounting unit 4 to the other signal line connection tap 7. Although not shown in Figure 7, these internal wirings 8 are housed in the housing space K of the base portion 2. In other words, the internal wirings 8 are not visible from the outside.

Each internal wiring 8 electrically connects the battery mounting unit 4 to the wireless communication router 30, supplying power from battery B to the wireless communication router 30. Each internal wiring 8 also electrically connects the wireless communication router 30 to the signal line connection tap 7, providing a signal connection between the wireless communication router 30 and electrical equipment D connected to the signal line connection tap 7.

In the electrical device connection fixture 1F of this embodiment, a signal line connection tap 7, which is a terminal mounting portion, is used for signal transmission. The electrical device connection fixture 1F of this embodiment also includes a wireless communication router 30 that transmits signals with electrical device D, and supplies power from battery B to the wireless communication router 30. External electrical device D is connected to the wireless communication router 30 via the signal line connection tap 7. Even in such a case, the electrical device connection fixture 1F of this embodiment can supply power from battery B to the wireless communication router 30, eliminating the need for a power supply from the tabletop-equipped fixture 50. Therefore, the electrical device connection fixture 1F of this embodiment prevents the tabletop-equipped fixture 50 from being restricted by the installation of a power cable.
