Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a connector, such as a multi-tap, to which a plug blade can be inserted and fixed into an outlet and a plurality of plugs of load appliances can be connected thereto.

Conventionally, this type of connector has a plurality of blade receptacles on the container C, which is made up of a combination of a container body A and a lid body opening, as shown in FIGS. A blade receiving spring provided with a fixed stopper blade E is housed, and a stopper blade insertion opening is formed on the front and both side surfaces of the container C corresponding to the blade receiving part.

Therefore, when supplying power by inserting the plug blade of a load appliance into the plug blade insertion slot, if the plug is inserted into the plug blade insertion slot formed on the front of the container, the protrusion from the outlet 2 to the plug socket will protrude. As the length Ll becomes longer, the dead weight of the plug is applied as a large moment N1 to the connection point between the blade holder of the blade holder spring stored in the outlet 2 and the plug blade HO provided in the container C, resulting in a small amount of force applied to the plug. Due to the tension, the container can easily fall off from the outlet 2, and it is also dangerous to get your foot caught in the cord.Furthermore, in a dark place, it is difficult to insert the plug blade into the plug blade insertion opening, and the container can easily fall off. The drawback is that you won't know if it falls off the second outlet.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent the plug from easily falling out of the outlet, to prevent the user from tripping over the cord of the plug, and to reduce the darkness. To provide a connector that allows a plug to be easily connected at any location, and that can be visually confirmed even if it falls off from an outlet.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a lid body, and a window hole 3 is formed in a recess 2 provided on the front side.

4 is a hole for locking.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a container body, and an insertion hole 7 for a plug blade 6 to be inserted into an outlet X is formed in the bottom surface.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a container formed by combining the lid body 1 and the container body 5, and has plug blade insertion openings 9 formed on the right, left and lower sides.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a blade holder spring, which is made up of a blade holder 11 corresponding to the blade insertion opening 9 and a terminal part 12 that integrally connects the blade 6 passed through the insertion hole 7 by tightening. It is stored.

13 is a wrapping terminal provided integrally with the plug blade 6.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a light source such as a neon lamp or a light emitting diode, which is connected to the wrapping terminal 13 and between the plug blades 6, and is provided so as to protrude beyond the window hole 3, as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the light source 14 is a neon lamp, which is connected between the plug blades 6 through a resistor 15, and is turned on directly at the commercial voltage of the outlet X to emit light.

16 is a cover, for example, the window hole 3 is formed by plastic molding of a transparent resin such as acrylic resin or AS resin.
It is formed larger than the above, and has a size that fits into the recess 2.

17 is a claw piece, and this claw piece 17 is inserted into the hole 4 provided in the lid body 1.
By press-fitting, the window hole 3 is closed, and the cover 1 is fitted and locked in the recess 2 of the cover 1.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a recess provided on the inner surface of the cover 16, which forms a diffusion chamber 19 with a gap Y between the recess 2 of the lid body 1 and the cover 16, and is provided to protrude beyond the window hole 3. light source 14
The entire surface of the cover 16 is made to shine by the light emitted from the cover.

20 is a cover 16 so that the entire surface of the cover 16 shines efficiently.
The diamond-cut concavo-convex portion 21 provided on the back surface of the cover 16 is also an inclined surface provided in the recess 2 so that the entire surface of the cover 16 can be efficiently illuminated.

22 is a plate that holds the light source 14 so as to protrude beyond the window hole 3.

Therefore, when the plug blade 6 is inserted into the outlet X and used as shown in FIG. 6, the plug 23 of the load device is inserted into the container 8.
Power is supplied by inserting it into the plug blade insertion slot 9 formed on the side of the plug, and the protrusion length L2 from the outlet X to the cord 24 of the plug 23 is only the length of the plug 23 compared to the conventional protrusion length. The moment N2 applied to the connection point between the blade holder of the blade holder spring housed in the outlet X and the plug blade 6 provided in the container 8 due to the weight of the plug 23 becomes smaller than the conventional moment N1.

Further, when the plug blades 6 are inserted into the outlet X, a light source 14 connected between the plug blades 6 lights up and emits light.

The light source 14 protrudes beyond the window hole 3 and forms a diffusion chamber 19 with a gap Y between the recess 2 of the lid 1 and the cover 16, so that light is transmitted to the lid 1. The light is repeatedly reflected by the cover 16 and transmitted through the gap Y, and is transmitted from the entire surface of the cover 16, causing the entire surface of the cover 16 to shine.

Further, this light also leaks from the plug blade insertion port 9.

25 is an assembly screw.

As explained above, the present invention includes a container 8 which is a combination of a lid body 1 having a window hole 8 formed on the front surface and a container body 5 having an insertion hole 7 formed in the bottom surface for a plug blade 6 to be inserted into an outlet X, and this container. The plug blade 6 is housed in such a manner that the blade insertion opening 9 formed on the side surface of the blade 8 corresponds to the blade receiving part 11, and the plug blade 6 is passed through the through hole 7.
a light source 14 connected between the blades 6 and protruding beyond the window hole 3; A cover 16 is provided with a recessed portion 18 that forms a diffusion chamber 19 for the light emitted from the light source 14 between the cover 16 and the cover 1 when the window hole 3 is closed and the cover 1 is locked. Therefore, the plug 23 of the load device is inserted into the plug blade insertion opening 9 formed on the side of the container 8 to supply power, and the protruding length from the outlet X to the cord 24 of the plug 23 is L2. Because it is shorter, the moment N2 becomes smaller than the conventional moment N1, and even if tension is applied to the cord 24 of the plug 23, the container 8 can be prevented from easily falling off from the outlet X, and the plug 2
3 is inserted into the plug blade insertion opening 9 formed on the side surface of the container 8, so that the cord 24 is parallel to the outlet X and close to the construction surface, and there is no need to trip over the cord 24.

Furthermore, since the light source 14 is connected between the plug blades 6, the position of the outlet X can be confirmed even in a dark place, and since light also leaks from the plug blade insertion opening 9, the plug 23 can be easily connected. 19 and the light source 14 is provided so as to protrude beyond the window hole 3. Therefore, the light emitted from the light source 14 is repeatedly reflected by the vessel body 1 and the cover 16, and is transmitted through the gap Y, so that even a small amount of light can cause the cover 16 to be damaged. It can also be used as a night light by illuminating the entire surface.

Furthermore, since the light source 14 is turned off when the container 8 falls off from the outlet X, a connector is obtained in which dropping of the container 8 can be visually confirmed even in a dark place.
