Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、二つのボックスの各側面から電線を挿通させた状態で二つのボックス間に配設される配線保護カバーに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、マルチメディアの発達により、住宅用分電盤のボックスとは別に、衛星放送（ＢＳ）やＵＨＦやＶＨＳの地上波放送のブースタやデジタルＣＳ信号の切替器などの情報配線機器を先行配線するための盤（所謂マルチメディアポート）のボックスが用いられている。
【０００３】
このように住宅用分電盤のボックスと、マルチメディアポートのボックスとを建物の壁面に露出させた状態で横並びに取り付ける場合、各ボックスの全周を禍根でボックスの背面と建物側の取付面との間に電線が挿通可能な隙間を空けたた状態で各ボックスを取着するボックス取付枠を用いたものが存在する（例えば特許文献１の図１参照）。
【０００４】

【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した従来例はボックス取付枠を用いているため、ボックス取付枠が住宅用分電盤のボックス及びマルチメディアポートのボックスの全周を囲むので、各ボックスの大きさに応じたボックス枠を用意しておく必要があり、使い勝手が悪いという問題があった。
【０００６】
また予め住宅用分電盤のボックスとマルチメディアポートのボックスとの間に配線を行っていると、ボックス取付枠のボックス取着部材（第３のボックス取着部材）の裏側に電線が挿通されず、ボックス取付枠に各ボックスを取り付けることができず、使い勝手が悪いものとなっていた。
【０００７】
本発明は上述の問題点に鑑みて為されたもので、その目的とするところは、使い勝手が良いボックス間の配線保護カバーを提供しようとするものである。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述の目的を達成するために、請求項１の発明では、前面部の周縁が後面部の周縁に比べて側面方向へ突出する形状に形成され前面部に開閉自在な扉を有するとともに後面部の側面に電線挿通用の挿通孔を有した第１及び第２ボックスに対して、前記挿通孔を有する側面同士を対向させる形で前記第１及び第２ボックスを横並びに並設し、第１ボックスの前記挿通孔から第２ボックスの前記挿通孔に電線を挿通させた状態で第１及び第２ボックス間に配設されるボックス間の配線保護カバーであって、
前記横並びに並設された第１及び第２ボックスの各前面部の側面間の間隔よりも広い幅を有し、前記電線を挿通される開口が背面から連通する切欠状に設けられ、第１及び第２ボックスの各後面部の側面間に介在せられ一部が第１及び第２ボックスの各前面部の背面側に位置する本体部と、この本体部よりも狭い幅を有して本体部の幅方向の中央部から第１及び第２ボックス間の各前面部方向に立設され、横並びに並設された前記第１及び第２ボックスの各前面部の側面間に介在せられる仕切り部とより成ることを特徴とする。
【０００９】
請求項２の発明では、請求項１の発明において、前記本体部に、前記開口の周縁から第１及び第２ボックスの方向に突出して第１及び第２ボックスの各挿通孔の周縁に係合する係合片を設けたことを特徴とする。
【００１０】
請求項３の発明では、請求項２の発明において、長さが前記係合片を前記第１及び第２ボックスの挿通孔に係合させた状態で第１及び第２ボックスの上下端と面一となる長さとしたことを特徴とする。
【００１１】
請求項４の発明では、請求項２又は３の発明において、前記係合片は、前記各ボックスの前面及び下面側で前記開口の周縁から突出形成されていることを特徴とする。
【００１２】
請求項５の発明では、請求項１乃至４の何れかの発明において、前記仕切り部の最前面は、第１及び第２ボックスの各扉よりも背面側となる高さ位置に設定されていることを特徴とする。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１〜図６に本発明の一実施形態を示す。
【００１４】
先ず本発明を全体的に概説する。
【００１５】
図１は第１，第２の分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂを分離して示したもので、Ｃが本発明に係る配線保護カバーである。
【００１６】
図２，図３，図４は分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂを壁面Ｗに取り付けた状態を示す。
【００１７】
配線保護カバーＣは本発明の主要部材で、二つの分電盤ボックッスＡ，Ｂの間に配設される仕切り部材であると共に両分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間の引き回し用電線Ｌをカバーする部材で、その形状は図５に示される。
【００１８】
分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂは共に前面に開閉自在な扉１を有する前面部２と袴状の後面部３とよりなり、前面部２の両側が後面部３の両側より横方向に張り出した形になっている。
【００１９】
配線保護カバーＣは建物の内側の壁Ｗに接する本体部４の部分の幅が広く、前面側の幅の狭い仕切り部５が段を形成して壁Ｗに接する本体部４から前方に突出していて、全体の断面は凸字形になっている。
【００２０】
分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂおよび配線保護カバーＣは上述したような形状で、横列に配設された分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの相対向する側面の隙間の形と配線保護カバーＣの断面形とが適合して、分電盤ボックスの複数配設状態の外観を整え、電線をこの配線保護カバーＣを貫通させることで隣接分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間の引き回し電線Ｌをカバーするのである。
【００２１】
分電盤ボックスＡ．Ｂは構造的には同じ構造で、扉１は前面部２の下辺に蝶番留めされ矢印Ｘのように開かれる。
扉１を開くと，分電盤ボックスの前面部２内に配置された内器が表れる。
【００２２】
分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの袴状の後面部３で囲まれた空間は空所になっており、壁Ｗを通して外部から引き込まれた電源線とか信号線（共に不図示）および隣の分電盤ボックスへ送られる電線が収容配線されている。
【００２３】
隣同士の分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間の引き回し電線Ｌは各分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの前面部３の側面に設けられた挿通孔６を通される。
【００２４】
挿通孔６はノックアウト孔で通常閉じられており必要に応じて開通せられる。隣接配置された分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間に配設される配線保護カバーＣにはその壁Ｗに接する側の幅の広い本体部４に開口９．９’，１０，１０’が切欠状に設けられていて前記電線Ｌの通路となり、またこの電線Ｌのカバーとなる。
【００２５】
以上で本発明の概説を終わり、以下の段落で各部の詳細を述べる。
【００２６】
配線保護カバーＣは合成樹脂で一体成型されたもので、図５に示されるように断面が底の無い凸字形で中が空の細長い箱であり、長さは分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの縦方向と同じで、この凸字形断面の下部の幅の広い本体部４の高さは分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの袴状の後面部３の高さと同じにしてあり、前述したようにこの凸字形の幅の広い本体部４の下縁が壁面Ｗに接して二つの分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの間に配設される。
【００２７】
このため配線保護カバーＣは幅の広い本体部４と上部の幅の狭い仕切り部５の境の段が分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの前面部２の側面の後面部３の側面よりはみだしている部分の下に入るから、つまり仕切り部５の最前面は、第１及び第２ボックスＡ，Ｂの各扉１よりも背面側となる高さ位置となるから、壁面Ｗに並列して取り付けられた分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの隙間から壁面Ｗが見えるおそれは無い。
【００２８】
また前記仕切り部５は高さを分電盤ボックスの前面部２の本体部分つまり扉１を外した部分の厚さより低くしてあるので、扉１の開閉にあたり、仕切り部５が扉１と干渉して扉の開閉の邪魔になることが無い。
【００２９】
配線保護カバーＣの幅の広い本体部４の側面には下縁（壁Ｗに接する縁）から切り込まれた形で開口９，９’が設けられている。また反対側の側面にも開口９，９’と対応して開口１０，１０’が設けられている。
【００３０】
これらの開口９’、１０，１０’の周縁には配線保護カバーＣの側面外方に向かって係合片１１が形成されている。
【００３１】
これらの開口９，９’、１０，１０’等は壁面において、並列取り付けされる分電盤ボックスの間に配線保護カバーＣを、その上下両端を分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの上下端と揃えて設置したとき、分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの後面部３の側面に設けられている上述の挿通孔６と対向する位置に設けられている。
【００３２】
配線保護カバーＣの前記開口９’、１０，１０’の周縁の係合片１１の外周は分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの前記した挿通孔６に適合嵌合する寸法にしてあるので複数の分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ等を壁面Ｗに取付ける際、配線保護カバーＣの前記開口９’、１０，１０’の係合片１１を分電盤ボックスの後面部３側面の前記挿通孔６に挿入嵌合させることで、配線保護カバーＣは位置が正しく決められると共に固定もされる。この係合片１１を前記第１及び第２ボックスＡ，Ｂの対応する挿通孔６に係合させた状態では第１及び第２ボックスＡ，Ｂの上下端と、配線保護カバーＣの上、下と面一となる。
【００３３】
隣同士の分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間の電線Ｌの引き回しは、前記した開口９，９、１０，１０’及び挿通孔６等を通して行われるので、配線保護カバーＣは分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間を通る電線Ｌの保護カバーになる。
【００３４】
更に一般的に、分電盤は壁面の高い位置に取り付けられ、下から見上げられる関係にあるが、配線保護カバーＣの前記した係合片１１が分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ側の挿通孔６に挿入されているので、下から見ても引き回し電線Ｌは全く見えず、分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂを取り付けた外観がスマ−トである。
【００３５】
上述した所では配線保護カバーＣの側面の全ての開口９’、１０，１０’の周縁に形成している係合片１１の機能は主に配線保護カバーＣの位置決めと、複数の分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂ間の引き回し電線が正面や下方（分電盤ボックスＡ，Ｂの下方）から隙間を通して見えることが無いようにすることに在るから図１や図５に表されているように、配線保護カバーＣを取り付けたときに開口９’，１０，１０’の下側になる側の縁と開口切り込みの奥になる部分とにかけてＬ形になるように形成している。また配線保護カバーＣを取り付けたとき、上側になる一方の開口、例えば開口９には係合片１１を設けていないが設けても良い。
【００３６】
【発明の効果】
請求項１の発明は、前面部の周縁が後面部の周縁に比べて側面方向へ突出する形状に形成され前面部に開閉自在な扉を有するとともに後面部の側面に電線挿通用の挿通孔を有した第１及び第２ボックスに対して、前記挿通孔を有する側面同士を対向させる形で前記第１及び第２ボックスを横並びに並設し、第１ボックスの前記挿通孔から第２ボックスの前記挿通孔に電線を挿通させた状態で第１及び第２ボックス間に配設されるボックス間の配線保護カバーであって、
前記横並びに並設された第１及び第２ボックスの各前面部の側面間の間隔よりも広い幅を有し、前記電線を挿通される開口が背面から連通する切欠状に設けられ、第１及び第２ボックスの各後面部の側面間に介在せられ一部が第１及び第２ボックスの各前面部の背面側に位置する本体部と、この本体部よりも狭い幅を有して本体部の幅方向の中央部から第１及び第２ボックス間の各前面部方向に立設され、横並びに並設された前記第１及び第２ボックスの各前面部の側面間に介在せられる仕切り部とより成るので、ボックスの後面部側面の挿通孔を通して引き出された電線を、配線保護カバーの切欠状の開口から挿通させて配線保護カバーを配設することができ、そのため電線を簡単に収納することができ、しかも本体部が横並びに並設される第１及び第２ボックスの側面間の間隔よりも広い幅であるので、並設されたボックスの隙間から電線が見えず良好な外観が得られる。
【００３７】
また請求項２の発明は、請求項１の発明において、前記本体部に、前記開口の周縁から第１及び第２ボックスの方向に突出して第１及び第２ボックスの各挿通孔の周縁に係合する係合片を設けたので、第１及び第２ボックスを建物の壁面に取り付ける際に、係合片を各挿通孔に係合させるだけで、配線保護カバーを両ボックスによって保持されて建物の壁面に固定でき、そのため別途ネジ留めなどを要せず取り付けが簡単である。
【００３８】
更に請求項３の発明は、長さが前記係合片を前記第１及び第２ボックスの挿通孔に係合させた状態で第１及び第２ボックスの上下端と面一となる長さとしたので、配線保護カバーの位置決めも自動的に行われ、しかも見栄えも良くなる。
【００３９】
また更に請求項４の発明は、請求項２又は３の発明において、前記係合片が、前記各ボックスの前面及び下面側で前記開口の周縁から突出形成されているので、ボックスが建物の壁面の上側に配設された場合、見え易い正面と下面とを完全に掩蔽することができ、見栄えが良くなる。
【００４０】
更にまた請求項５の発明は、請求項１乃至４の何れかの発明において、前記仕切り部の最前面が、第１及び第２ボックスの各扉よりも背面側となる高さ位置に設定されているので、扉を開くときに干渉せず、扉の開閉に支障をきたすことが無い。
