Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electrical outlet with a light emitting display and a switch for turning on and off the light source of the display.

This type of outlet has at least an insertion port on the bottom surface, a plug blade on the back surface, and a light-emitting display section and a push button for operating a switch on the front surface. Therefore, when installing a light source and a switch inside this outlet, it is necessary to take care to avoid the receiving blade and to make the whole unit as compact as possible. However, there are limits to trying to prevent the light source lead wire from coming into contact with the receiving blade or nearby conductive parts, and at the same time trying to make the switch as small as possible without creating wasted space when installing the switch. can be,
Improvement was desired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has a light emitting display section and a switch, and can be made compact as a whole, and furthermore,
To provide an outlet in which a lead wire does not undesirably come into contact with a receiving blade or the like.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, which has a plug blade 2 protruding from the back side, a partition wall 3 formed inside the middle part of the lower part, and a pair of receiving blades 4 connected to the plug blades on both sides of the partition wall.
a and 4b, and a groove 6 for the insertion hole 5 communicating with the outside is formed. Reference numeral 7 denotes a lid body attached to the vessel body 1, with a partition wall 8 located above the receiving blade 4 and a window hole 9 in the upper part with the partition wall 8 in between.
A through hole 10 is provided at the lower portion thereof, and a groove portion 11 that forms the insertion hole 5 together with the groove portion 6 is provided. Reference numeral 12 denotes a light source, which protrudes from the through hole 10 and is connected to the plug blade 2. Further, 13 is a permeable cover that covers the light source 12 and is attached to the lid 7. Furthermore, 4 is a switch, which is provided in the container 1 opposite to the window hole 9. This switch 14 has a ratchet gear 15, one end of a shaft 16 of this gear is held between the upper ends of the container body 1 and the lid 7, and the other end of the shaft 16 is connected to the partition. It is held between the inner side of the wall 8 and the inner side of the container body 1. A push button 17 for operating the ratchet gear 15 is provided in the window hole 9.

To explain the above embodiment in more detail, the insertion holes 5 are provided not only in the lower part but also on both sides, and facing these, three pairs of integrally formed receiving blades 4a and 4b are provided in the container body 1. ing. In addition, the lid body 7 has
The partition wall 8 and the through hole 10 at the lower part of the window hole 9 are formed into a recess 21 whose periphery is surrounded by a projecting wall 20, and a permeable cover 13 is attached to this recess 21. This recess 21 is provided with through holes 22 on both sides of the lower part, and the transparent cover 13 is provided with engaging claws 13a on the lower surface opposite to the through holes 10, and these claws are engaged with the through holes 22. By letting the cover 13
is attached to the recess 21. Note that 21a is a recess for housing the light source 12. switch 14
has a movable contact piece 23 whose opening/closing is controlled by the ratchet gear 15, and a fixed contact piece 24 opposing this contact piece 23. And the ratchet gear 1
The lower end of the shaft portion 16 of No. 5 is held between the partition wall 8 and the protrusion 25 protruding from the bottom surface of the container body 1, so that the inner part of the partition wall 8 and the inner part of the container body 1 are connected to each other. held between. On the other hand, the light source 12 is connected to the lead wire 2
6 is connected to one of the receiving blades 4a, and the other is connected to one of the stopper blades 2 via a switch 14.
The lead wire 26 is covered with an insulating tube or the like. The other plug blade 2 is directly connected to the other receiving blade 4b. Further, the push button 17 has claws 27 on both sides, and is biased in a direction away from the container body 1 by a spring 28 inserted between the back surface of the push button 17 and the container body 1. 27 is attached to the lid 7 by engaging with the back surface of the lid 17, and
It always protrudes from the upper surface of the translucent cover 13.
Reference numeral 29 denotes a projecting piece protruding from the back surface of the push button 17, which is provided opposite to the ratchet gear 15, and sequentially drives the ratchet gear 15 when the push button 17 is pressed. The ratchet gear 15 is composed of a pair of gears 30 and 31 that rotate together, the first gear 30 being pressed against the protrusion 29, and the second gear 31 being pressed against the chevron formed on the movable contact piece 23. It engages with the protrusion 32 of. The second gear 31 has a first recess 33 and a deeper second recess 34, and the movable contact piece 23 slides against the second gear 31 by its own elastic force. The first gear 30 is pressed by the protruding piece 29 and rotates one tooth at a time, and the protruding part 32 of the movable contact piece 23 sequentially engages with the first recess 33 and the second recess 34. The movable contact piece 23 is connected to the fixed contact 44 by
The light source 12 is controlled to blink as the light source 12 approaches and separates.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained. In order to support the end of the shaft portion 16 of the ratchet gear 15 using the partition wall 8 provided above the receiving blades 4a and 4b, and to make the light source 12 protrude from the through hole 10 adjacent to the partition wall 8, The lead wires 26 are bundled by the through hole 10 and do not spread out. Therefore, the partition wall 8 is used for mounting the switch and the lead wire 26.
As a result, the lead wires 26 can be prevented from spreading, and the lead wires 26 can be bundled together.
It is possible to prevent undesired contact with conductive parts such as the receiving blades 4a and 4b of No. 6, and to achieve miniaturization.

As described in detail above, the electrical outlet of the present invention is equipped with a light-emitting display section and a switch for blinking the light source of this display section, and the lid includes:
A partition wall is placed at a position above the receiving blade provided at the bottom of the device, and a window hole is provided at the top and a through hole through which the light source projects from the bottom, with this partition wall in between. One end of the shaft is held between the upper side wall ends of the vessel body and the lid, and the other end of the shaft is held between the inner side of the partition wall and the inner side of the vessel body. This makes it possible to reduce the size and prevent the lead wire from undesirably contacting a conductive part such as a receiving blade.
