The lighting fixture 11a is held against the buffer 47a by passing the 63 over the buffer 47a and connecting the two belts 62, 63 with the planar fasteners 65, 66.

It is to be noted that each lighting fixture holding portion 45b is also provided with holding means 6
It has the same configuration as 1.

In order to store the plurality of luminaires 11a and 11b for transportation or storage, the luminaires 11a and 11b are held by the corresponding luminaire holders 45a and 45b in the assembled state of the main body 22. And stored in the main body 22.

The luminaire 11a is mounted by inserting both ends of the luminaire 11a into the holding grooves 51 of the buffer members 47a on both sides from above and placing a predetermined number of the luminaires 11a in the buffer members 47a of each stage. After being placed, each of the lighting fixtures 11a placed in each of the holding grooves 51 of the cushioning material 47a is held by the belts 62 and 63 of the holding means 61.

The luminaire 11b is mounted by inserting both ends of the luminaire 11b into the holding grooves 51 of the buffer members 47b on both sides from above, and is held by holding means (not shown).

After the predetermined number of lighting fixtures 11a and 11b are stored in the main body 22, a cover (not shown) is placed around the main body 22 as necessary to prevent dust and the like from adhering to the lighting fixtures 11a and 11b.

A body containing a predetermined number of lighting fixtures 11a and 11b
By pressing 22, the main body by each caster 23,24
22 can be easily moved. At this time, since the fixed casters 23 are arranged corresponding to one side of the main body 22, if the main body 22 is moved toward one side of the main body 22 or toward the other side, the moving direction is changed. The movement during movement can be reduced stably, and the movement of the main body 22 can be facilitated.

By connecting the plurality of carts 21 to each other using the connecting portions 58 on both sides of the main body 22, the plurality of carts 21 can be moved at one time. Further, the vehicle can be towed by the towing vehicle using the connecting portion 58 of the main body 22.

Thus, the main body 22 is moved and transported to the construction site. This transportation may involve impacts on the main body 22, such as by truck transportation or climbing over steps while moving on the casters 23, 24. The shock absorbers 47a, 47b of the lighting fixture holders 45a, 45b may be applied. Lighting fixtures mounted on 11
Since the holding means 61a and 11b are held by holding means 61 (holding means of the lighting equipment 11b is not shown), the lighting equipment 11 during transportation is held.
It is possible to prevent the a and 11b from shifting or falling off.

At the construction site, if the main body 22 is covered with a cover, the cover is removed and the lighting fixtures 11a and 11b mounted on the cushioning members 47a and 47b of the lighting fixture holding portions 45a and 45b. The holding by the holding means 61 (the holding means of the lighting equipment 11b is not shown) is released, and the lighting equipment 11a, 1
1b is lifted out of the cushioning materials 47a, 47b of the lighting fixture holders 45a, 45b and sequentially taken out.

Moreover, since the lighting fixture holding portions 45a and 45b are provided for each type of the lighting fixtures 11a and 11b, different types of lighting fixtures 11a and 11b can be stored together.

Since the cushioning members 47a and 47b are detachably fixed by the screws 53 from the cushioning member mounting portions 46a and 46b, even if the cushioning members 47a and 47b are damaged, the cushioning members 47a and 47b can be removed by attaching and detaching the screws 53. 47b can be easily replaced.

When the luminaires 11a and 11b are taken out of the main body 22 and then collected and transported for reuse or stored for use, the main body 22 is folded, made small, and arranged. Space can be reduced.

To fold the main body 22, the side portions 27 on both sides,
The connecting member 55 connecting the 28 is removed, and the bottom portion 26 is raised to the folding position (the position in FIGS. 2 (b) and 3 (b)) approaching the front surface of the back portion 29 using the hinge 33 as a fulcrum. At the front side of the bottom portion 26, both ends of the removed connecting member 55 are attached to the folding connecting portion 56 of the left side portion 28 and the folding connecting portion 57 above the column 38, 26
Is kept folded.

Subsequently, the right side portion 27 is folded toward the bottom portion 26 folded toward the front of the back portion 29 about the rotation shaft 40 (the position shown in FIGS. 2B and 3B). ), The chain 41 is hooked and locked in the locking groove 34 of the locking piece 35 on the bottom surface 26, and the folded state of the side surface 27 is maintained.

In this manner, the main body 22 is folded into a substantially L-shape between the left side surface 28 and the back surface 29. This body
By folding the 22 in a substantially L-shape, the posture is stable even in the folded state, and it can be moved.

As shown in FIG. 9, the holding means 61
By providing the pressing member 68 for pressing the intermediate portion of the long belt 63 from above, it is possible to prevent the belt 63 from being lifted up at the intermediate portion and to reliably hold the lighting fixture 11a.

As shown in FIG. 10, the holding means 61 is provided with a ring 70 attached to the end of a short belt 62, and the ring 70 is folded back through a long belt 63 to form a long belt 63.
Belt fastener 71 attached to the tip of the long belt
It can also be connected to the planar fastener 72 attached to the base end side of 63 in close contact. In this case, it is possible to prevent the belt 63 from being lifted up due to the double overlap, and to reliably hold the lighting fixture 11a.
