Description

  The present invention relates to a stone lantern installed in the precincts of a temple or in front of a grave, a door suitable for the lantern, and a door body.

  Conventionally, as stone lanterns installed in temple precincts or in front of a grave, for example, those described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are known. In these stone lanterns, the lantern body is formed by penetrating the inside of the stone pillar and providing an opening in front of the stone pillar. And by setting a candle on a candle stand located inside the lantern body, the light emitted from the candle is guided to the outside of the lantern body through the opening to illuminate the front side of the lantern body. It is possible. Further, in the conventional example, in order to facilitate the storage and removal of the candle from the lantern body, and to prevent the candle from extinguishing, the stone lantern door can be opened and closed with respect to the opening. It is installed.

Japanese Patent No. 3012200 JP 2001-49904 A

  In a conventional stone lantern door, the opening / closing direction with respect to the opening is fixed in one direction. That is, for example, in a stone lantern door described in Patent Document 1, a fixed portion is fixed to a lantern main body portion, and a metal door main body in which glass is fitted to the fixed portion is horizontally arranged by a hinge. It is provided rotatably. And by rotating the door body with glass, the door body can be opened and closed in the horizontal direction with respect to the opening. For this reason, the opening and closing direction of the door body is fixed by the attachment position of the hinge. That is, a stone lantern door with a hinge attached to the left side of the fixed part is a so-called left opening, while a stone lantern door with a hinge attached to the right side of the fixed part is a so-called right open. In this specification, the operation of opening and closing in the horizontal direction with the left side portion of the door body as the rotation center is referred to as “left opening”, while the operation of opening and closing in the horizontal direction with the right side portion of the door body as the rotation center is referred to as “ This is referred to as “right open”.

  By the way, stone lanterns are installed in temple precincts, in front of graves, etc., and are usually outdoors. And in the scene where a candle is set on a stone lantern, it is necessary to ignite the candle after rotating the door body to open the opening. At this time, because it is outdoors, it is easy to be affected by the wind when igniting the candle, and depending on the wind direction, the case where the door body works favorably to light the candle and the direct influence of the wind makes it difficult to ignite It may become. This is because conventional stone lantern doors are limited to right or left opening. For example, in a right-open door, the door body is located on the right side when viewed from the front side of the lantern body portion with the door body opened, and acts as a windshield to prevent wind from the right side. Therefore, the candle can be easily ignited. On the other hand, if a strong wind blows from the left side in the open state, it becomes difficult to ignite the candle. Here, adopting a configuration that can freely switch the opening and closing direction of the stone lantern door between right and left opening makes it possible to open the door body according to the wind direction, and always acts as a windshield It is preferable that the candle can be ignited while being fired.

  Moreover, when igniting a candle, an igniting means such as a lighter or a match is used, but each user operates the igniting means differently. For example, many users who have the right handed arm operate the ignition means with their right hand, so the door body is opened and closed with their left hand, and it is easier to operate with the left opening than with the right opening. Conversely, if the user has a dominant arm on the left, the right-opening is easier to operate than the left-opening. As described above, since the door opening / closing operability is different for each user, it is desirable that the user can select the door opening / closing direction.

  In addition, the placement of stone lanterns may be limited due to the size of the graveyard. As a result, the opening / closing direction of the door may be limited. For example, there is a case where a spirit mark is placed on the right side of the gravestone, but in a narrow graveyard, there is a case where the spirit mark and the stone lantern are laid close to each other. In such a case, it may be difficult to “right open” the door, and it is necessary to select a stone lantern while always considering the arrangement relationship in the cemetery.

  However, there are no stone lantern doors and stone lanterns that have been designed and manufactured from the user's standpoint, and it is desirable to provide user-friendly stone lantern doors and stone lanterns. It is.

  Such double-opening stone lantern doors are also suitable for suppliers that provide stone lanterns and doors. That is, stone lanterns are often installed in a pair of left and right in front of a grave, and left and right opening stone lantern doors are respectively attached so as to be double-spread. Therefore, the supplier always had to prepare a left door and a right door. On the other hand, when the stone lantern door can be opened and closed to either the left or right, a single stone lantern door can be used in any opening and closing direction. The versatility of the door can be improved.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a stone lantern door and a stone lantern that are user-friendly and excellent in versatility.

  The door for stone lanterns according to the present invention includes a fixed portion fixed at a peripheral portion of the opening with respect to a stone lantern having an opening on the front surface thereof, and a door rotatably attached to the fixed portion. A stone lantern door that includes a main body and opens and closes the opening by a pivoting movement of the door main body. To achieve the above object, the left hinge pin and the left hinge pin are detachably engaged to the left side. A left door supporting portion that has a left pivot portion that pivotally supports the hinge pin and a left guide portion that guides insertion / removal of the left hinge pin to the left pivot portion; a right hinge pin; and a right hinge pin that is detachably engaged. A right side pivot part for pivoting the right hinge pin, and a right side door attaching / detaching part having a right side guide part for guiding insertion / removal of the right hinge pin to / from the right pivot part, and a left side part of the door body and a left side part of the fixing part One of the left side The left door attaching / detaching portion is provided with the left guide portion facing one side, and the right hinge pin is provided on one of the right side portion of the door body and the right side portion of the fixing portion. In addition, the right door attaching / detaching portion is provided on the other side with the right guiding portion facing one side.

  In the invention thus configured, the left hinge pin is provided on one of the left side of the door body and the left side of the fixed part, and the left door attaching / detaching part is provided on the other. The left door attaching / detaching portion is provided with a left pivot portion for pivotally supporting the left hinge pin by being detachably engaged with the left hinge pin, and the left hinge pin is engaged and supported by the left pivot portion. In this state, when the door body is rotated about the left hinge pin as a rotation center, “left open” is executed. Further, the right side is configured in the same manner as the left side, and “right open” can be executed. Therefore, switching between “left open” and “right open” can be performed according to the wind direction, the user's dominant arm, and the like, which is user-friendly. In addition, it can handle both “left opening” and “right opening” with a single configuration, and has excellent versatility.

  In the present invention, each of the left and right door attaching / detaching portions has a guide portion that guides insertion / removal of the hinge pin with respect to the pivot support portion, and is provided on the fixed portion with the guide portion facing one side. . Here, “one side” means the side on which the hinge pin is provided. Therefore, for example, when the hinge pin is provided on the door body, the door body side corresponds to one side, the door attaching / detaching portion is provided on the surface of the fixing portion, and the guide portion faces the front side. Conversely, when the hinge pin is provided on the fixed part, the fixed part side is one side, the door attaching / detaching part is provided on the back side of the door body, and the guide part faces the fixed part. For this reason, when performing the “left open” operation, the right guide portion guides the right hinge pin to make the “left open” operation of the door body smooth. Further, regarding the “right open” operation, similarly to the “left open” operation, the left guide portion guides the left hinge pin to make the “right open” operation of the door body smooth. Although the structure in which one of the left and right hinge pins is pivotally supported by the pivot portion to rotate the door body has been described here, the left and right hinge pins are provided for the left and right door attachment / detachment portions. Since each is detachable, the door body can be completely separated from the fixed portion. This structure is unique to stone lantern doors that use hinges such as hinges to open and close the door body. Remove the entire door body from the fixed part and clean the fixed part, door body and stone lantern. The effect of facilitating the work can be obtained.

  Further, the stone lantern door body according to the present invention has a left door attaching / detaching portion or a left hinge pin corresponding to a left hinge pin or a left door attaching / detaching portion provided on the left side portion of the fixing portion on the left side portion. In addition to being provided with a right hinge pin or a right door detachable part on the right side of the fixed part, a right door detachable part or a right hinge pin is provided on the right side of the fixed part, and is detachable from the fixed part. It is characterized by being exchangeable.

  The stone lantern door body constructed in this way is detachable and replaceable with respect to the fixed part, so even if the door body breaks, a new door body can be used without using special tools. Can be attached to the fixed part.

  Furthermore, in order to achieve the above object, a stone lantern according to the present invention comprises a lantern body portion having an opening formed on the front surface thereof, and the stone lantern door according to claim 1, wherein the fixed portion is a lantern. While the left hinge pin is fixed to the main body, and the left hinge pin is pivotally supported by the pivot of the left door attaching / detaching portion, the opening can be opened and closed by rotating the door main body to the left about the left hinge pin In the state where the right hinge pin is pivotally supported by the pivotal support portion of the right door attaching / detaching portion, the opening portion can be opened and closed by rotating the door main body to the right side with the right hinge pin as the rotation center.

In this embodiment, the stone lantern door 1 is detachable with respect to the stone lantern 2 and is opened and closed horizontally with respect to the opening of the stone lantern 2 when mounted on the stone lantern 2. It is free. Further, the opening / closing operation can be selectively switched between “left open” and “right open”. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the stone lantern 2 includes a base portion 21 having a large diameter at the lower portion and a lantern body portion 22 connected to the upper portion of the base portion 21. An opening 23 is provided on the front side (lower right side in FIG. 2) of the lantern body 22, and is emitted from a candle (not shown) standing on a candle stand located inside the lantern body 22. It is possible to illuminate the front side of the stone lantern 2 by guiding the light to the outside of the stone lantern 2. Also in this embodiment, the stone lantern door 1 can be attached to the opening 23 in order to facilitate the storage and removal of the candle from the lantern body 22 and to prevent the candle from extinguishing. Moreover, it can be opened and closed with respect to the opening 23 of the stone lantern 2 in a state of being mounted on the stone lantern 2. Hereinafter, the structure of the stone lantern door 1 will be described in detail.

  The stone lantern door 1 includes a fixing portion 11 that can be fixed to the lantern body portion 22 and a door body 12. The door body 12 is made of a metal such as stainless steel, and one window 121 is provided at a substantially central portion thereof. A heat-resistant transparent member 14 such as glass is attached to the window 121. Specifically, the transparent member 14 is fixed to the door body 12 by four locking claws 122 fixed to the upper and lower portions of the door body 12. A candle stand 15 is attached to the lower center of the door body 12 via a support plate 16. Therefore, the door body 12 and the transparent member 14 are integrally opened and closed with respect to the opening 23 by rotating the door body 12 to “left open” or “right open” as will be described later as necessary. . In this embodiment, the candle stand 15 is fixed to the tip of the support plate 16, but the candle stand 15 may be configured to be detachable from the support plate. In addition, the left and right side portions of the door body 12 are bent toward the lantern body portion 22, and a total of four hinge pins 3L and 3R are attached at two upper and lower portions on each side portion. That is, the left hinge pin 3 </ b> L is provided on the left side of the door body 12, while the right hinge pin 3 </ b> R is provided on the right side of the door body 12.

  On the other hand, the fixing part 11 has fixing bands 11U and 11D which are divided into upper and lower parts. Among these, the fixed band 11D has a concave shape when viewed from the front, while the fixed band 11U is finished in a shape obtained by turning the fixed band 11D upside down, and both the fixed bands 11U and 11D have the same surface curvature as the lantern body 22. It has a certain degree of curvature and can be in close contact with the surface of the lantern body 22. In addition, fixtures 115 and 116 for fixing the fixing bands 11U and 11D to the lantern body 22 are attached to the back surfaces of the fixing bands 11U and 11D, respectively. Each of the fixtures 115 and 116 includes a pair of left and right mounting springs 117R and 117L. The mounting springs 117 </ b> R and 117 </ b> L are finished in a hook shape whose tip is substantially semi-annular with a curvature substantially the same as the curvature of the inner peripheral surface of the lantern body 22. These attachment springs 117R and 117L are attached to the fixing bands 11U and 11D so that the interval W117 between the substantially semi-annular parts is wider than the inner diameter W22 (FIG. 4) of the lantern body 22 before mounting. ing.

  Further, a left door attaching / detaching portion 4L is attached to the left side portions of the fixing bands 11U and 11D, and a right door attaching / detaching portion 4R is attached to the right side portion. Each left door attaching / detaching portion 4L has a pivotal support portion 41 that pivotally supports the left hinge pin 3L by releasably engaging with the left hinge pin 3L, and a guide portion 42 that guides insertion and removal of the left hinge pin 3L with respect to the pivotal support portion 41. And provided on the left side of the fixed bands 11U and 11D with the guide 42 facing the front side. In this embodiment, each left door attaching / detaching portion 4L is configured as follows. That is, two pieces are formed by bending substantially the center of one metal plate inward at two locations. And it forms so that the pin 3L can be inserted | pinched by forming a recessed part in the substantially center part of each piece part formed in this way in the shape which mutually faces. Thus, the pivotal support portion 41 is formed by the opposing concave portions. Further, the leading end of each piece is bent into a divergent shape toward the front side to constitute a guide portion 42. In the left door attaching / detaching part 4L formed by bending the metal plate in this way, when the hinge pin 3L moves along the guide part 42, the tip of one part constituting the guide part 42 is pushed and spread by the hinge pin 3L. The hinge pin 3L is guided to the pivotal support 41. When the hinge pin 3L is inserted into the pivotal support part 41, the hinge pin 3L is engaged and supported by the pivotal support part 41 by the elastic force of the one part. Conversely, when the hinge pin 3L moves to the front side, after the engagement by the pivotal support portion 41 is released, the hinge pin 3L is guided by the guide portion 42 and moves to the outside of the left door attaching / detaching portion 4L. Therefore, in the left door attaching / detaching portion 4L, the left hinge pin 3L is engaged with the pivot support portion 41 and pivoted while the left hinge pin 3L is pivoted while the left hinge pin 3L is pivoted. It is executable.

Thus, in the right door attaching / detaching part 4R, the right hinge pin 3R is engaged with the pivotal support part 41 and is pivotally supported, and the door body 12 is rotated with the right hinge pin 3R as the pivot center. "Right open" can be executed. In addition, about the structure of each right door attaching / detaching part 4R, since it is the same as the above-mentioned left door attaching / detaching part 4L, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the door 1 configured as described above to the stone lantern 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a procedure for attaching the stone lantern door to the stone lantern. In addition, in order to demonstrate centering on the attachment procedure of the fixing | fixed part 11 to the lantern main-body part 22, illustration of the door main body 12, the transparent member 14, and the candle stand 15 connected with the fixing | fixed part 11 is abbreviate | omitted here.

  At the stage of preparing the stone lantern door 1 (before mounting), no external force is applied to the mounting springs 117R and 117L. As described above, the mounting springs 117R and 117L are substantially semi-annular before mounting. Is wider than the inner diameter W22 of the lantern body 22 (FIG. 2A). Therefore, the mounting operator fixes the fixing bands 11U and 11D in the vicinity of the opening 23 of the lantern body 22 in the following order.

  First, as shown by an arrow AR in FIG. 5B, the attachment springs 117R and 117L are press-fitted into the lantern body 22 while the tip ends of the attachment springs 117R and 117L are made to enter the inside of the opening 23. At this time, the mounting springs 117R and 117L are forcedly deformed by being brought close to each other, and the mounting springs 117R and 117L are inserted into the lantern body 22 through the opening 23 in the deformed state. Good.

  Here, the attachment springs 117R and 117L are elastically deformed at the opening 23 during press-fitting. However, the attachment springs 117R and 117L spread to each other due to the spring force when the attachment springs 117R and 117L are inserted into the lantern body 22. The fixing of the fixing band is completed by closely contacting the inner peripheral surface of the lantern body 22. Such a fixing operation is executed in a state where the hinge pins 3R, 3L of the door body 12 are not engaged with the door attaching / detaching portions 4R, 4L, that is, the door body 12 is removed from the fixing portion 11.

  When the two fixing bands 11U and 11D are fixed to the lantern body 22 and the fixing portion 11 is fixed, the hinge pins 3R and 3L of the door body 12 are moved along the guide portions 42 of the door attaching / detaching portions 4R and 4L. The door body 12 is attached to the fixed portion 11 by being inserted toward the pivot portion 41. In this state, the opening 23 is closed by the door body 12, and the hinge pins 3 </ b> R and 3 </ b> L are engaged and supported by the pivot 41. If the user subsequently operates the right side of the door body 12 as necessary, the opening 23 is opened by “left opening”, and conversely, if the left side of the door body 12 is operated, the opening is opened by “right opening”. Part 23 is opened.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the hinge pins 3L and 3R are provided on the left and right side portions of the door body 12, and the left and right door attaching / detaching portions 4L are attached to the fixed portion 11 corresponding to the hinge pins 3L and 3R. , 4R are provided, "left open" and "right open" can be selectively executed. Therefore, the user can switch between “left open” and “right open” according to the wind direction, and can reliably and easily ignite the candle even in a strong wind. In addition, the user can open and close the door body 12 in a direction that is easy for the user to operate according to the handedness of the dominant arm or the luggage, and excellent operability can be obtained. Moreover, it is possible to handle both “left opening” and “right opening” with a single configuration, and excellent versatility can be obtained.

  In terms of versatility, the fixing portion 11 is divided into the upper fixing band 11U and the lower fixing band 11D, so that the vertical size of the opening 23 can be flexibly handled. . That is, since stone lanterns are not generally standardized, there are various opening sizes. However, various adjustments can be made by adjusting the fixing positions of the upper fixing band 11U and / or the lower fixing band 11D. The size of the opening can be accommodated and the versatility is excellent.

  Further, according to this embodiment, each of the left and right door attaching / detaching portions 4L, 4R has the guide portion 42 that guides insertion / removal of the hinge pins 3L, 3R with respect to the pivotal support portion 41, and the guide portion 42 is lanterned. Since the fixed portion 11 is provided in a state facing the front side of the main body portion 22, the door main body 12 can be smoothly opened and closed, and the operability for the user can be further improved. Further, since the left and right hinge pins 3L and 3R are detachable from the left and right door attaching / detaching portions 4L and 4R, respectively, the door main body 12 can be completely separated from the fixed portion 11. . Therefore, as described above, the door main body 12 can be removed when the fixing portion 11 is attached, and the workability of the fixing operation can be improved. Moreover, since the door main body 12 can be easily attached to and detached from the fixed portion 11, the door main body 12 can be removed from the fixed portion 11 when cleaning the stone lantern door or the stone lantern. Also, it is excellent in maintainability. Furthermore, while using the stone lantern constructed as described above, the door body 12 and the transparent member 14 are damaged, or the transparency of the transparent member 14 is extremely reduced. However, since the door main body 12 is detachably exchangeable with respect to the fixed portion 11 as described above, the new door main body 12 can be mounted on the fixed portion 11 without using a special tool or the like. .

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the fixing portion 11 is divided into the upper fixing band 11U and the lower fixing band 11D, but an integrated frame-shaped fixing portion may be used. Further, the number of divisions and the division mode of the fixing unit 11 are also arbitrary.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although two door attachment / detachment parts are provided in the left and right, what is necessary is just to provide at least 1 or more door attachment / detachment parts in each of right and left. In addition, as for the hinge pins, similarly to the door attaching / detaching portion, at least one hinge pin may be provided on each of the left and right sides.

In this embodiment, the stone lantern door 1 is detachable with respect to the stone lantern 2, and can be opened and closed with respect to the opening of the stone lantern 2 while being attached to the stone lantern 2. ing. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the stone lantern 2 is composed of a base portion 21 whose lower portion is large in diameter and a lantern main body portion 22 connected to the upper portion of the base portion 21. ing. And the opening part 23 is provided in the front side (right hand side of FIG. 6) of the lantern main-body part 22, and it radiates | emits from the candle (illustration omitted) standing on the candle stand located in the inside of the lantern main-body part 22. The light can be guided to the outside of the stone lantern 2 to illuminate the front side of the stone lantern 2. Also in this embodiment, the stone lantern door 1 can be attached to the opening 23 in order to facilitate the storage and removal of the candle from the lantern body 22 and to prevent the candle from extinguishing. Moreover, it can be opened and closed with respect to the opening 23 of the stone lantern 2 in a state of being mounted on the stone lantern 2. Hereinafter, the structure of the stone lantern door 1 will be described in detail.

  The stone lantern door 1 includes a fixing portion 11 that can be fixed to the lantern body portion 22, a door body 12, and a support portion 13 that rotatably supports the stainless steel door body 12 with respect to the fixing portion 11. And. The fixing portion 11 includes a first vertical portion 111 provided so as to be in contact with the left end 23L of the opening 23 and a second vertical portion 112 provided so as to be able to contact the right end 23R of the opening 23. And. More specifically, each of the vertical portions 111 and 112 is made of a stainless steel metal piece that is slightly shorter than the opening 23 in the vertical direction and that has a horizontal cross-sectional shape that is finished in a substantially rectangular shape. The bent portions of the vertical portions 111 and 112 can come into contact with the end portion of the opening 23.

  Moreover, in this fixing | fixed part 11, the 1st and 2nd perpendicular | vertical parts 111 and 112 are mutually connected by the two strip | belt-shaped pieces 113 in the state mutually opposingly arranged. Each strip 113 has a shape curved toward the inside of the stone lantern 2 and, for example, as shown in FIG. However, when forced bending is performed as will be described later, a biasing force corresponding to the forced bending state is generated to bias the vertical portions 111 and 112 in a direction away from each other. Thus, in this embodiment, although the connection part is comprised by the two strip | belt-shaped pieces 113, about the number of the curved strip-shaped pieces 113, a shape, arrangement | positioning, etc. are arbitrary. Further, in this embodiment, the vertical portions 111 and 112 and the strip 113 are configured by independent members and are connected using a connection technique such as spot welding or a fastening member, but the vertical portions 111 (or 112) and the strip 113 may be integrally formed, or the vertical portions 111 and 112 and the strip 113 may be integrally formed. Moreover, you may employ | adopt the connection site | part extended straight in the state without external force provision. Further, in selecting a material constituting the connecting portion such as the strip 113, any material that is flexible and has a spring characteristic can be used. However, the candle is prevented from being deformed, and a candle is used as described later. It is desirable to use a metal material such as stainless steel or spring steel in order to efficiently emit the light from the opening 23.

  In addition, each belt-like piece 113 is formed with a locking portion 114 in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the vertical portions 111 and 112. More specifically, a part of the strip 113 is provided with a cut portion from each vertical portion side, and the cut piece portion is bent inside the stone lantern 2 with the broken line portion of FIG. A plurality of cut pieces are formed as the locking portion 114. When the fixing portion 11 is attached to the lantern body portion 22 as described later, these locking portions 114 come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the lantern body portion 22 to prevent displacement of the strip 113. The fixing part 11 is fixed to the lantern body part 22.

  A support portion 13 having two hinges 131 and a spring member 132 disposed between the hinges 131 is attached to the second vertical portion 112 of the fixing portion 11. The vertical part 112 is supported so as to be rotatable. Further, the door main body 12 is biased toward the opening 23 by the spring member 132. In this embodiment, the door main body 12 is rotatably attached to the fixed portion 11 by the hinge 131, but it goes without saying that other rotation support methods, for example, a hinge may be used. Also, the structure shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 may be provided so as to be able to open left and right.

  One window portion 121 is provided at a substantially central portion of the door body 12. A heat-resistant transparent member 14 such as glass is attached to the window 121. Specifically, the transparent member 14 is fixed to the door body 12 by four locking claws 122 fixed to the upper and lower portions of the door body 12. A candle stand 15 is attached to the lower center of the door body 12 via a support plate. Therefore, the door main body 12 and the transparent member 14 are integrally opened and closed with respect to the opening part 23 by picking and operating the handle part 123 attached to the front surface of the door main body 12 as necessary. In this embodiment, the candle stand 15 is fixed to the tip of the support plate. However, the candle stand 15 may be configured to be detachable from the support plate.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the door 1 configured as described above to the stone lantern 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing a procedure for attaching the stone lantern door to the stone lantern. Here, in order to explain mainly the procedure for mounting the fixing portion 11 to the lantern main body portion 22, the door main body 12, the support portion 13, the transparent member 14, and the candle stand 15 connected to the fixing portion 11 are illustrated. Omitted.

  At the stage of preparing the stone lantern door 1 (before mounting), as described above, no external force is applied to the strip piece (connecting portion) 113, and the width of the fixing portion 11 in the left-right direction is the opening 23. It is wider than the width ((a) of the figure). Therefore, the installation operator forcibly deforms the strip 113 by bringing the vertical portions 111 and 112 close to each other as indicated by an arrow AR1 in FIG. The strip 113 is inserted into the lantern body 22 through the opening 23 and the first and second vertical portions 111 and 112 are brought into contact with the left end 23L and the right end 23R of the opening 23, respectively. Let At this time, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the vertical portions 111 and 112 are in contact with the front regions 231 </ b> L and 231 </ b> R of the left end portion 23 </ b> L and the right end portion 23 </ b> R, and the fixing portion 11 is fixed exclusively by the locking portion 114. Has been. That is, the locking portion 114 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the lantern main body 22 to prevent the strip 113 from being displaced, thereby fixing the fixing portion 11 to the lantern main body 22. Then, after confirming that the fixing portion 11 is securely fixed by the locking portion 114, the attaching operator releases his / her hands from the vertical portions 111 and 112 and finishes the attaching operation (FIG. 3C). .

  In the above description, the mounting procedure has been described with reference to FIG. 8. However, when the stone lantern door 1 is removed from the lantern body 22, a procedure reverse to the mounting procedure can be performed.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, since the first and second vertical portions 111 and 112 are connected to each other by the strips (connecting portions) 113, the fixing portion 11 is used. Thus, the mounting operator can perform the work of attaching / detaching the stone lantern door 1 to / from the stone lantern 2 without performing the work inside the stone lantern 2. Further, the strip-like piece (connecting portion) 113 can be inserted / removed from the opening 23 in a state where the attachment / detachment operation is forcibly curved, that is, can be performed by a one-touch method. Therefore, the detachable workability of the stone lantern door 1 with respect to the stone lantern 2 can be greatly improved.

  When the strip 113 is inserted into the lantern body 22 through the opening 23, the cut piece 114 is locked to the inner peripheral surface of the lantern body 22, as shown in FIG. The fixing strength of the fixing part 11 is increased. That is, in this embodiment, the forcibly curved strip 113 is inserted into the lantern main body 22 through the opening 23. However, when such a configuration is adopted, the entire fixing portion 11 is A force for urging the front side is also generated. However, in this embodiment, four cut pieces 114 are provided, and the cut pieces 114 abut against the inner peripheral surface of the lantern body portion 22 to prevent the fixing portion 11 from moving to the front side. The part 11 is fixed. As a result, the stone lantern door 1 can be more firmly fixed to the stone lantern 2. In addition, the cut piece 114 configured as described above is slidable along the inner peripheral surface of the opening 23 and the lantern main body 22 during forced bending insertion (FIG. 8B). When the fixing part 11 tries to move in the reverse direction later, the cut piece part 114 acts like a “return” of the fishhook, so that the movement of the fixing part 11 can be surely prevented. Therefore, it can be said that the stone lantern door 1 according to this embodiment has a structure having both mounting workability and fixing strength. Here, although the cut piece 114 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface and locked, the cut piece 114 may be locked by a frictional force with the lantern body 22.

  Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, when the fixing part 11 is mounted on the lantern body part 22, the strip-shaped piece (connecting part) 113 constituting the fixing part 11 is formed on the candle holder 15 as shown in FIGS. It is located on the back side (left hand side in FIG. 6), and is arranged so as to surround the candle standing on the candle stand 15 on the back side. Therefore, when the strip 113 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel or spring steel, the strip 113 also functions as a reflector, and guides the light radiated to the back side to the front side from the opening 23 to the front side. The amount of emitted light can be increased.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the fixing portion 11 is fixed to the stone lantern by bringing the cut piece 114 into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the lantern main body 22, but the vertical portion 111 is used instead of the cut piece 114. 112 may be fixed in contact with the end face of the opening 23. That is, when the strip-shaped piece (connecting portion) 113 is inserted into the lantern main body 22 through the opening 23 in a state of being forcedly curved toward the interior of the lantern main body 22, the strip-shaped piece 113 opens the opening 23. , The vertical portion 111 side and the vertical portion 112 side of the fixing portion 11 are biased in a direction away from each other, and the vertical portions 111 and 112 are pressed against the end face 23S of the left end portion 23L and the right end portion 23R, respectively. As a result, the fixing portion 11 is fixed to the lantern body portion 22 (only the right end portion 23R is shown in FIG. 10A, but the same applies to the left end portion 23L). Hereinafter, the attachment procedure to the stone lantern 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing a procedure for attaching the stone lantern door to the stone lantern. Here, in order to explain mainly the procedure for mounting the fixing portion 11 to the lantern main body portion 22, the door main body 12, the support portion 13, the transparent member 14, and the candle stand 15 connected to the fixing portion 11 are illustrated. Omitted.

  At the stage of preparing the stone lantern door 1 (before mounting), as described above, no external force is applied to the strip piece (connecting portion) 113, and the width of the fixing portion 11 in the left-right direction is the opening 23. It is wider than the width ((a) of the figure). Therefore, the installation operator forcibly deforms the strip 113 by bringing the vertical portions 111 and 112 close to each other as indicated by an arrow AR1 in FIG. The strip 113 is inserted into the lantern body 22 through the opening 23 and the first and second vertical portions 111 and 112 are brought into contact with the left end 23L and the right end 23R of the opening 23, respectively. Let Then, the attaching operator releases his / her hands from the vertical portions 111 and 112 to complete the attaching operation ((c) in the figure).

  In the above description, the mounting procedure has been described with reference to FIG. 11. However, when the stone lantern door 1 is removed from the lantern body 22, a procedure reverse to the mounting procedure can be performed.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, since the first and second vertical portions 111 and 112 are connected to each other by the strips (connecting portions) 113, the fixing portion 11 is used. Thus, the mounting operator can perform the work of attaching / detaching the stone lantern door 1 to / from the stone lantern 2 without performing the work inside the stone lantern 2. Further, the strip-like piece (connecting portion) 113 can be inserted / removed from the opening 23 in a state where the attachment / detachment operation is forcibly curved, that is, can be performed by a one-touch method. Therefore, the detachable workability of the stone lantern door 1 with respect to the stone lantern 2 can be greatly improved.

However, in order to fix the fixing portion 11 by pressing the vertical portions 111 and 112 against the end surfaces 23S of the left end portion 23L and the right end portion 23R, respectively, as shown in FIG. 23 is perpendicular to the urging force F generated by the forcibly curved strip 113, that is, the angle α formed between the urging force F and the opening end surface 23S is 90 ° or exceeds 90 °. This is limited to the case where the opening 23 is formed so that the end surface 23S faces the inside of the lantern body 22. This is because a force for urging the entire fixing portion 11 to the front side is generated in addition to the separation urging force F due to the forcibly curved strip 113, so that the fixing portion 11 can be fixed to the lantern body 22 by overcoming this force. It is necessary to satisfy α ≧ 90 °.

  Moreover, you may provide the other site | part of the fixing | fixed part 11 as a latching site | part. For example, in a state in which the fixing portion 11 is mounted on the lantern main body 22 (FIG. 11C), each vertical portion 111, 112 is engaged so that a part of the vertical portions 111, 112 engage with the inner peripheral surface of the lantern main body 22. 112, or a locking member is projected from the vertical parts 111, 112 and the connecting part 113 toward the inner peripheral surface of the lantern body part 22 so that the locking member engages with the lantern body part 22 in the mounted state. Alternatively, a locking member may be extended from the connecting portion 113 to the back side of the lantern body 22 to be engaged with the notch 221 of the lantern body 22. In short, it is only necessary to further provide a locking portion that is locked to a part of the stone lantern 2 on the back side of the stone lantern 2 from the opening 23.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the door main body 12 is attached to the fixing | fixed part 11, the stone lantern door 1 is attached or detached with respect to the stone lantern 2, However, Since the door main body 12 is detachable, the door main body 12 may be attached to the fixing portion 11 after only the fixing portion 11 is first attached and fixed to the lantern main body portion 22. Similarly, the fixing part 11 may be detached from the lantern body part 22 after removing the door body 12.
