ABSTRACT:
The multi-purpose apparatus for distributing wires mainly comprises a strip member having at one lateral wall a longituidnal opening with flanges respectively formed on opposite edges thereof, and a plurality of single units each having along its length a pair of longitudinal grooves respectively being located at opposite edges of the unit and corresponding to the longitudinal flanges of the strip member such that each single unit can be detachably secured to the strip member by forcing the flanges thereof into the corresponding grooves thereof. Those single units include decorative plate assemblies, electrical socket assemblies, switch assemblies and other terminals such as telephone wire junction box, antenna socket, speaker wire socket, and signal wire socket. The strip member further is provided along its upper and lower edges with a pair of wire receiving chambers in which power wires and ground wires including signal wires are respectively received. In this way, the potential risk of short circuit due to unexpected contact of broken power wires and broken ground wires, and of noise disturbance to signal wires, would be minimized. Moreover, the strip member is so designed that adjacent strip members either aligned or angularly intersecting each other, can be connected together by means of specially designed joints. By doing so, both the length of and the intersecting angle between the strip members become adjustable, thus facilitating the installation of the members to the lower edge of an indoor wall.
