Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting fixture having a light-control member easy to attach and detach, with few apprehension of damage. <P>SOLUTION: The lighting fixture is provided with a main body 3 made of resin fitted to a ceiling 2 with a light source 1 such as an incandescent lamp and a light-control member 4 fitted to the main body 3, of which, the light-control member 4 with a circular arc shape in cross section is fixed to the main body 3 side only at the vicinity of the top end part thereof, while the end part is adjacent to or in contact with the ceiling 2. In the case that the light-control member 4 is translucent, it is desirable to arrange the light control member 4 with a distance from the outer surface by fixing the vicinity of its top end part to a support piece 6 protruding outward from the top end part of the main body 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lighting device suitable as a toilet lamp.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Patent Literature 1 is a typical example of a known toilet lamp. In Patent Literature 1, a light control member such as a shade has an open-sided shape having a substantially circular arc-shaped cross section, and the open portion is inserted from above into a groove of an adjacent case and connected. Therefore, there is no difficulty in mounting stability of the light control member.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, it should be noted that in Patent Literature 1, there is a problem to be solved that is unsuitable when only the light control member is to be attached or detached during cleaning or the like. In view of such problems to be solved, an object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device that facilitates attachment and detachment of a light control member and reduces the risk of breakage.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In summary, the present invention includes a main body provided with a light source and mounted on a ceiling, and a light control member mounted on the main body, wherein the light control member has a substantially arc-shaped cross section, and the main body is formed only near the upper end thereof. The luminaire is fixed to the side and has its upper end close to or in contact with the ceiling. More specifically, a main body attached to a ceiling, a light source provided in a concave portion formed on one side of a lower surface of the main body, and a light control member having a substantially arc-shaped cross section covering a side portion of the light source, The light control member is fixed to the main body only near its upper end, and the upper end is a lighting device that is close to or in contact with the ceiling. And when the light control member is translucent, the vicinity of the upper end is fixed to the end of the support piece protruded outward from the upper end of the main body, so that it is provided at an interval from the outer surface of the main body. Preferably.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, it is an exemplary embodiment adopted based on the present invention, and the present invention should not be interpreted in a limited manner based on matters specific to the embodiment. Instead, the technical scope of the present invention should be determined on the basis of the matters stated in the claims and matters substantially equivalent to the matters.
[0007]
The illustrated embodiment includes a main body 3 made of resin or the like provided with a light source 1 such as an incandescent lamp and mounted on a ceiling 2, and a light control member 4 mounted on the main body 3. Has a substantially arc shape, is fixed to the main body 3 only near its upper end, and its upper end is a lighting fixture that is close to or in contact with the ceiling 2.
[0008]
More specifically, in this embodiment, the main body 3 attached to the ceiling 2, the light source 1 provided in the concave portion 5 formed on one side of the lower surface of the main body 3, and the cross section covering the side of the light source 1 A light control member 4 having a substantially arc shape is provided. The light control member 4 is fixed to the main body 3 only near the upper end thereof, and the upper end is a lighting device which is close to or in contact with the ceiling 2.
[0009]
When the light control member 4 is translucent, the vicinity of its upper end is fixed to the end of the support piece 6 that protrudes outward from the upper end of the main body 3 so that the light control member 4 is spaced from the outer surface of the main body 3. It is preferable that it is provided. The light control member 4 is made of, for example, glass.
[0010]
More specifically, a mounting plate 7 made of metal or the like is fixed to the ceiling 2 with screws 8, and a screw rod 9 fixed to the lower surface of the mounting plate 7 penetrates through the main body 3. The main body 3 is attached to the ceiling 2 by screwing a thumbscrew 10 to the lower end. The support pieces 6 project outward from the mounting plate 7 in three directions. The end of the support piece 6 is bent downward, an outward screw 11 fixed to the bent portion is passed near the upper end of the light control member 4, and a thumb screw 12 is attached to the tip of the screw 11. The light control member 4 is supported and fixed by being screwed. Further, a lens 13 containing a human body sensor (not shown) is exposed inside the lower surface of the other side of the main body 3, and the lighting apparatus is configured to light up when a person enters a toilet. The light source 1 is mounted on a socket 14.
[0011]
According to this embodiment, since the light control member 4 can be easily attached and detached, it is convenient for cleaning and the like, and there is little possibility of breakage. That is, although the light control member 4 is fixed to the main body 3 only near the upper end thereof, its upper end is close to or in contact with the ceiling 2. It becomes difficult for an unreasonable moment force to be applied to the fixed portion by the resistance force from 2, and the fixed portion and the light control member 4 are hardly damaged. Further, although the light control member 4 is preferably light-transmitting, since the light control member 4 is provided at a distance from the outer surface of the main body 3, the shadow of the main body 3 is less likely to be projected on the upper half of the light control member 4. Preferred.
