Title: Wirable bracket and module coupling device coupled thereto

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to a wirable bracket and a module coupling device coupled thereto. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
       FIG. 9  is a view showing wiring of a connector for standardizing a wiring duct for each module as a background art. 
     First, when a wiring duct for each unit module is standardized, a wiring duct is made into a unit module, and then disposition and connection method of a connector, the direction of power, the polarity of a wire, the position of a coupler, installation and a cover of a lamp, etc. are standardized for each unit module. 
     Construction, wiring design, etc. of the manufactured wiring duct for each unit module are consistently shown. Further, this is for easy maintenance of the wiring duct. 
     When a wiring duct for each unit module, a duct  30  with predetermined specifications is prepared, and various components that are disposed, arranged, or provided inside or outside the duct  30  are prepared. 
     As the components, a plurality of sets of wires  14  that are arranged to both ends of the duct  30  with predetermined specifications are prepared to have a predetermined length. 
     It is preferable that the wires have predetermined colors that can be easily discriminated. 
     A female connector  12  and a male connector  10  are coupled to both ends of each wire  14 , respectively. 
     A plurality of terminal blocks, etc. is prepared to fix the wires arranged in the internal space of the duct  30 . 
     All components for standardizing a wiring duct for a unit module are prepared, and then, an assembly process is performed. 
     That is, a male connector  10  is disposed at a side of the wiring duct  30  for a unit module and a female connector  12  is disposed at another side. For example, the male connector  10  is disposed at the left side of the duct  30  and the female connector  12  is disposed at the right side of the duct  30 . The male connector  10  and the female connector  12  are disposed at positions where work is easy, respectively. 
     First, according to the related art, when a wiring duct for a unit module is standardized, a wiring duct is made into a unit module. 
     Disposition and connection method of a connector, the direction of power, the polarity of a wire, the position of a coupler, installation and a cover of a lamp, etc. are standardized for each unit module. 
     Construction, wiring design, etc. of the manufactured wiring duct for each unit module are consistently shown for easy maintenance of the wiring duct. 
     When a wiring duct for each unit module, a duct  30  with predetermined specifications is prepared, and various components that are disposed, arranged, or provided inside or outside the duct  30  are prepared. 
     All components for standardizing a wiring duct for a unit module are prepared, and then, an assembly process is performed. 
     That is, a male connector  10  is disposed at a side of the wiring duct  30  for a unit module and a female connector  12  is disposed at another side. For example, the male connector  10  is disposed at the left side of the duct  30  and the female connector  12  is disposed at the right side of the duct  30 . It is preferable that the male connector  10  and the female connector  12  are disposed at positions where work is easy, respectively. 
     A plurality of pairs of wires  14  disposed between the male connector  10  and the female connector  12  is given a distinguishable mark. The number of wires to be connected may be changed and the disposition positions may be changed in accordance with the shape of the connector  10  or the capacity of the wires  14 . 
     However, since the configuration described above is made by a separate wiring duct, wiring is performed after interior materials are finished or wiring is performed by a specific electrical wireman before interior materials are finished. 
     In this case, when a metal panel is inserted in a bracket, it was difficult to avoid a defect that the metal plate cannot be inserted in the portion of a duct where wiring is performed, so separate work is required, or the bracket cannot be attached to a wall, so it takes a lot of cost and time to perform interior construction on the corresponding portion. 
     The present disclosure has been designed on the basis of this background.

     MODE FOR INVENTION 
     The present disclosure is to conveniently install and mount various wires, terminals, lamps, etc. using a metal tile and the structure of a bracket for attaching the metal tile to a wall. 
     As a construction method, a bracket connecting a wall and a tile is constructed on a wall surface, a structure such as a support suitable for the purpose is installed in a spare space of the bracket, and a metal tile having a insertion hole such that the support and the structure can protrude is attached thereon. 
       FIG. 8  of the present disclosure shows a metal tile without an insertion hole. 
       FIG. 8  shows a connection portion groove and a coupling protrusion hole to show coupling of a bracket and a metal tile, in which an insertion hole may be machined at the upper portion of a metal panel in various sizes and shapes. 
     Further, it is also possible to change the bracket in various structures to construct a desired structure on a wall surface. 
     The application kinds are as follows. 
     Structures such as various hangers, shelves, and drawers and various decorations are attached to a wall. 
     Further, it is possible to dispose various wires and terminals (a consent, a switch, a telephone connector, a data communication cable connector, a TV connector, a speaker connector, etc.) at the bracket. 
     Although it is exemplified to configure a wall-hanging fixing module for a consent, a switch, a lamp, etc. in the present disclosure, any configuration is possible. 
     A lamp can be configured on the surface of the metal tile by various wires. 
     That is, the physical structure for receiving various hangers, shelves, drawers, etc. is as follows. 
     A bottom support of an accessory having a hanger shape is attached in the spare space of the bracket such that the accessory can protrude over it and the metal tile having a corresponding hole is assembled.
         2) A hanging structure that can hang picture frames, hats, clothing, etc.   2) A structure that can fix shelves, drawers, etc. and that can be applied to shelves without a support, drawers without a support, etc.       

     The term ‘without a support’ means that a support is inserted in the shelve or drawer such that the shelve or drawer is shown like there is no support. 
     A plurality of hooks is configured between the bracket and the metal tile. 
     In the present disclosure, 24 hooks are configured for each unit metal tile. 
     A shelve that applies a considerable weight can be sufficiently supported on a wall by the hooks. 
     When a shelve or a drawer that supports large load is installed, a support may be additionally coupled to the wall by bolts that are separate fasteners to be able to support additional load. 
     There is an advantage that when it is required to replace a portion of the metal tile, it is possible to change the interior atmosphere at any time by replacing the attached metal tile through the structure that is easy to attach/detach the metal tile because of the hooks. 
     It may be possible to reassemble another tile having a different design by separating the assembled tile, and if necessary, it is possible to freely install and remove shelves or various hangers on and from a wall surface. 
     The metal tile may be assembled with a hole configured to have a corresponding configuration such that a support for supporting a shelve or a hanger is inserted. A hole is machined at the metal tile such that a support that can commonly support various shelves or hangers having different shapes or functions. 
     It is possible to fix and install shelves or various hangers on the support. 
     According to the present disclosure, a bracket is configured on a wall surface, a support is fixed in the space of the bracket, a metal plate having a hole at the position corresponding to the support is inserted, and the support is coupled to an insertion hole configured at a shelve. 
     According to the present disclosure, particularly, a bracket, that is, a bracket having a structure on which various wires and terminals can be installed is configured, and a wiring bracket can be formed in two types of structures. 
     The first is to be able to connect a wire to a desired portion by forming a structure that can pass the wire at a frame of a bracket. Wiring is configured by forming a passage, through which a wire can be passed, between brackets. 
     The second is to form a product with a wire (harness) disposed at a bracket to be able to function as a wire, and brackets are connected in a one-touch type or a snap-fit type such that a wire can be connected. 
     The third is that various terminals configure an exclusive bracket attached to a bracket. 
     According to the present disclosure, a bracket in which a metal plate is inserted in the upper portion thereof and a lamp can be installed over the metal panel can be implemented in the following two types of products. 
     1) A structure in which the receptacle of a lamp is directly attached to a bracket is formed so that a desired lamp can be assembled. A hole is formed at a corresponding metal panel to be fitted to a protrusion of the receptacle. The lamp is inserted after the metal panel is completed as an interior material, so an interior wall and a lamp are simultaneously completed. Accordingly, there is an advantage that it is possible to remarkably reduce the time and cost for inserting a lamp through separate work after the interior is completed. 
     2) An intermediate structure connecting an existing lamp and a bracket has a configuration that is attached to a bracket.
