Note that the housing of the light emitting member 20 is not limited to the configuration of the two components of the first frame 24 and the second frame 25, but may be configured of three or more components. Further, the method is not necessarily limited to the method of manufacturing separately, but may be constituted by one part.

Next, the mounting member 30 will be described. The mounting member 30 has a substantially cylindrical shape having openings at both ends. The light emitting member 20 is inserted into the fitting opening 33 which is one opening, and the mounting opening 39 which is the other opening is mounted on the bottle opening 51. Is done. The housing of the mounting member 30 includes a third frame 31 and a fourth frame 32 connected by a hinge 40. These frames have a shape that is divided near the center of the mounting member 30 in the longitudinal direction, and a mechanism that opens and closes around the hinge portion 40 is provided. Note that the hinge portion 40 of the embodiment (1) includes a third frame 31 and a fourth frame 32.
It is formed integrally with and has moderate elasticity,
The third frame 31 and the fourth frame 32 may be formed separately from each other, and may be combined with each other by the hinge 40.

The inner diameter of the fitting opening 33 provided in the third frame 31 is formed to be equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the light emitting member 20, and a plurality of slit portions 34 are formed from the fitting opening 33 side.
But in the longitudinal direction of the third frame 31, preferably 2/3
It is cut to the extent provided. In addition, at the end of the fitting opening 33, a locking piece 92 protruding inwardly is partially provided for locking in the locking groove 93 of the light emitting member 20. Furthermore, the opening 9 on the opposite side of the fitting opening 33

Resin or polypropylene resin is applied. In particular, as the mounting member 30, a polypropylene resin is desirable in order to obtain elasticity in the hinge portion 40.

The portable lamp 10 configured as described above
A method of using the simple lantern 1 using the portable lamp 10 will be described.

First, when performing sports, fishing, camping, and the like outdoors, the portable lamp 10 is carried in its form. It is so small and lightweight that it does not get in your pocket or in your luggage. On the other hand, a transparent bottle 50 is separately prepared. This transparent bottle 50 can be obtained as a container for a commercially available beverage or the like. Usually, when performing sports or the like outdoors, the beverage contained in such a transparent bottle 50 is frequently used and can be easily prepared.

Next, when the simple lantern 1 becomes necessary, the original cap of the transparent bottle 50 is removed,
Instead, the portable lamp 10 is mounted in a screw-type like the above-mentioned cap. In general, the size of the screw of the bottle mouth 51 is the same even if the capacity of the transparent bottle 50 is different, so that it can be mounted on almost all domestically produced transparent bottles 50. In addition, even if the portable lamp 10 is mounted, there is no fear that the liquid inside will leak, so that the portable lamp 10 can be mounted regardless of the presence or absence of the beverage in the transparent bottle 50. And
For example, when used as a light for illuminating a hand at work or for illuminating a table or the like, the transparent bottle 50 is installed in an upright state, or used by hanging it at an arbitrary place with a string-shaped member 60. When the switch 41 is turned on, the light source 21 emits light toward the transparent bottle 50 side, so that the light is reflected in the transparent bottle 50 and the brightness is spread. When the liquid 52 is contained in the transparent bottle 50, light is further reflected by the liquid 52, and the decorativeness is improved. The liquid 52 also functions as a weight of the simple lantern 1,
When exposed to wind and rain, it is difficult to fall down. Of course, it may be used without adding a liquid.

Next, when the user wants to carry the simple lantern 1 to illuminate the object or the foot when walking, the user holds the portable light 10 and turns the transparent bottle 50 in the direction to illuminate. Can also be used like a flashlight. In particular, since the diffusion of light emission is suppressed by the magnifying glass 23, it can be illuminated as far as a searchlight. Further, it may be hung on the body by the string-shaped member 60 and used for visual recognition to indicate presence in the dark, and used for ensuring safety. In this case, it can be used not only for outdoor sports but also as a measure for traffic safety by wearing it during walking at night. Further, the present invention is not limited to use in sports and in the dark, and may be used as a decorative article by hanging it from a neck or the like. Of course, it is needless to say that the portable light 10 alone may be used as a pinpoint light having strong directivity without being attached to the transparent bottle 50.

Next, when it is desired to change the direction of light emission, put a hand on the claw portion 45 to push open the third frame body 31 and the fourth frame body 32 so as to face the horizontal direction or the upward direction. Light emitting member 20
Change the angle of Thus, it can be installed on a table or the like and used as a spotlight or a standlight.

Finally, when the simple lantern 1 becomes unnecessary, the transparent bottle 50 can be removed, and only the portable lamp 10 can be put again in a pocket or a bag and carried freely.

In the embodiment (1), the mounting member 3
Although an opening / closing mechanism is provided by dividing 0 to change the direction of light emission, the present invention is not limited to this configuration.

A mounting port 39 is provided by extending the side of the frame 25b where the magnifying mirror 23 is disposed, and constitutes a light emitting member 20b which also functions as the mounting member 30. Thus, the number of parts can be further reduced.

The structure of the female screw portion 36b mounted on the bottle mouth 51 is also simplified. In the embodiment (1), the female screw is formed over the entire surface.
In the embodiment (3), as a substitute for this, at least two ridge-shaped projections 49 are formed along the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface. Even with this structure, the screw can be screwed to the bottle mouth 51, so that it can be configured at a lower cost than the processing of the female screw on the entire surface. Furthermore, in order to make it cheaper, the bottle mouth 5
The fitting opening 39 may be attached to the outside or inside of the fitting 1 by a fitting type.

Further, the first frame 24b of the embodiment (3)
And the second frame 25b may be formed as a single member, and the housing may be constituted by one housing.
