Description

  The present invention relates to an attachment member for attaching the LED lighting apparatus to various installation sites such as a ceiling and a wall surface, and has been developed for mounting a straight tube type LED lighting apparatus, but is not limited to a straight tube type, It can be widely applied to LED lighting fixtures of various shapes.

At present, most existing straight tube fluorescent lamp mounting members are made of sockets that engage and hold two pin terminals at both ends of the fluorescent lamp.
The socket as such an attachment member has a very convenient structure that allows a straight tube type fluorescent lamp to be easily attached and that can be removed very easily when replacing the fluorescent lamp.
By the way, LED lighting fixtures are now widely used from the viewpoint of energy saving, resource saving and CO ₂ reduction, and a straight tube type LED lighting fixture of the type that can be directly attached to a socket of a fluorescent lamp has been developed. Are commercially available.

Such an LED lighting device is composed of a large number of bullet-type or chip-type LEDs (light-emitting diodes) arranged on an elongated substrate, and an aluminum heat sink or the like on the back surface, and its weight has been conventionally It is heavier than fluorescent lamps.
Moreover, the manufacturing cost is several times higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps.

Therefore, in the case of such a heavy LED lighting fixture, there is a problem that the fixture falls due to its own weight during an earthquake or the like.
Moreover, since the instrument itself is expensive, there is a risk of theft.
In the case of a conventional socket, it is extremely easy to attach and detach, so if an LED lighting fixture is attached to this conventional socket instead of a fluorescent lamp, it is easily removed and there is a high risk of encountering theft. Problems arise.

Such a problem does not occur at all in the conventional fluorescent lamp, and so far, no countermeasure means has been considered.
Therefore, the applicant of the present application has previously proposed the invention of “LED lighting fixture fall / theft prevention device” as Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-38874.
In the present invention, the LED lighting fixture is also attached to the existing socket, and a special jig is added through the socket, thereby preventing dropping and theft.

Therefore, in the present invention, a straight tube type LED lighting apparatus can be attached and fixed based on a completely new idea, not an additional jig as in the above-mentioned prior application, and can be easily removed. It is an object of the present invention to create an attachment member that cannot be used to prevent theft or fall during an earthquake.
The term “theft prevention” here does not mean to prevent the LED lighting apparatus from being stolen by, for example, destroying or disassembling a member by using some tool or the like. In other words, for example, it is possible to prevent the LED lighting apparatus from being easily removed and stolen by hand.

Further, in the present invention, with this mounting member alone, a straight tube type LED lighting apparatus can be easily mounted on a ceiling, a wall surface, or a part of a mounting apparatus where a conventional fluorescent lamp is installed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device that can be installed and fixed without requiring a member for use.
Furthermore, it is not limited to a straight tube type LED lighting fixture, and for example, it can be attached even if it is an annular LED lighting fixture, and it can be attached even if the length of the straight tube type LED lighting fixture is appropriately different. Is also an issue.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the first of the present invention includes at least one attachment portion that can be fixed at an appropriate position on the back side of the LED lighting apparatus, and at least one attachment portion that is fixed to an installation site such as a ceiling or a wall surface. Both of the mounting portion and the fixing portion can be fixed to each other by a fixing means such as a screw at the periphery of the mounting portion and the fixing portion. The LED lighting fixture mounting member is characterized in that a space is formed in the inner space and a ballast can be installed in the inner space.
Here, the “rear side” of the LED lighting device means a rear surface side opposite to the light projecting surface on which the LEDs of the LED lighting device are arranged.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the invention, a substantially rectangular plate-like body is used as the fixing portion, and a substantially box-shaped one with the fixing portion side surface open is used as the mounting portion. LED lighting, wherein at least side edges on both long sides of the fixing part are erected to form an erection part, and the side edge part of the mounting part is joined to the erection part and fixed to each other. It is an attachment member of an instrument.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a substantially rectangular plate-shaped body is used as the fixing portion, and a substantially box-shaped body having an open surface on the fixing portion side is used as the mounting portion. Then, at least the side edges on both long sides of the peripheral part of the mounting part are bent substantially horizontally to form a bent part, and the bent part is joined to the side edge on the long side of the fixed part. It is the attachment member of the LED lighting fixture characterized by fixing mutually.
Here, `` bend almost horizontally '' means that, for example, when the fixing portion is fixed to the ceiling, the side edge portion of the attachment portion joined to the side edge portion on the long side of the fixing portion is It means that the side edge of the mounting portion and the side edge of the fixing portion can be appropriately joined by bending “substantially horizontally”.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the second or third aspect of the invention, the transverse cross-sectional shape of the mounting portion has a substantially trapezoidal shape in which the lateral width is gradually increased toward the fixed portion. It is the attachment member of the LED lighting fixture characterized by these.

In other words, it is only necessary to provide a through-hole for wiring at an appropriate position on the ceiling, wall surface, or existing fluorescent lamp fixture, and the LED lighting fixture can be simplified by fixing the mounting member according to the present invention to the location of the through-hole. It can be installed in.

Next, if one of the mounting members according to the present invention is fixed to, for example, the central portion on the back side of the straight tube type LED lighting device, it is constructed as an extremely compact mounting member for the straight tube type LED lighting device. Can do.
In the case where two pin terminals are provided at both ends of the conventional type, in order to support at both ends of a long lighting fixture, the mounting fixture is at least equal to or longer than the length of the lighting fixture. Needed the length of.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since both the ends of the lighting fixture are not supported and fixed at the center portion, the pin terminals at both ends as described above are unnecessary, and the appearance of the both ends is smart. It can also be.
Of course, it goes without saying that in the present invention, fixing between the fixing portion and a member to be attached such as a ceiling or a wall, fixing between the fixing portion and the mounting portion, and fixing between the mounting portion and the LED lighting apparatus are, for example, Since it can be fixed by a screw or the like, there is no fear of dropping or theft during an earthquake.

  In addition, since the mounting member of the present invention is not attached to the socket of a conventional fluorescent lamp fixture as a straight tube type LED lighting fixture to be attached thereto, its length matches that of the specified 20W type or 40W type. Therefore, it is possible to attach an LED lighting fixture having an appropriate length, and it is also possible to attach an LED lighting fixture having an annular shape instead of a straight tube type.

In the second aspect of the present invention, the same effect as in the first aspect of the present invention is exhibited, but the shapes of the fixing portion and the mounting portion are limited.
That is, a substantially rectangular (substantially rectangular) plate-like body is used as the fixed part, and standing parts are provided on the side edges on both long sides, and the side edges of the substantially box-shaped mounting part on the standing parts. The parts are joined and fixed to each other.
Thereby, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped is formed in a state where both the fixing portion and the attachment portion are fixed, a space is formed therein, and a ballast can be provided in the internal space.

Also in the third aspect of the present invention, the shape of the fixing portion and the mounting portion is limited as in the second aspect of the invention, that is, a substantially rectangular plate-like body is used as the fixing portion, A bent portion is formed by bending the side edge portions on both long sides of the body-shaped attachment portion substantially horizontally, and the both bent portions are fixed by joining to both long side edges of the fixed portion. .
Thereby, in the state which fixed the fixing | fixed part and the attachment part similarly to the said 2nd invention, it becomes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, an internal space is formed, and it becomes possible to equip the inside with the stabilizer.

As described above, in the second or third invention, the fixed portion and the mounting portion are fixed to each other to form a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. However, this shape is not necessarily limited to the substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and for example, an extreme story. However, the present invention can be implemented even when the shape is substantially cylindrical.

Fixing to the fixing portion 11 with a screw completes the installation.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating various patterns of the cross-sectional shape of the fixing portion 11 and the mounting portion 12 in the mounting member 10 according to the present invention.
In the (a) figure, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing | fixed part 11 and the attaching part 12 is the same as the said embodiment.
That is, standing portions 11 s and 11 s are formed on the side edge portions on both long sides of the fixing portion 11, and the side edge portions of the mounting portion 12 are joined and fixed to the standing portions 11 s and 11 s, and the mounting member is crossed. The surface shape has a trapezoidal shape.
A ballast is provided in the internal space having the trapezoidal cross section.

In the figure (b), the joining site is the same as (a) above, but the cross-sectional shape is rectangular.
A ballast is provided in the internal space having a rectangular cross section.
Also in the figure (c), although the cross-sectional shape of the attachment member 10 is a rectangle, in this example, the fixed portion 11 side is formed in a box shape, and the attachment portion 12 side is a plate-like body. Standing portions are formed on both long sides.
Thus, in the present invention, the box shape may be formed on either side of the fixed portion or the attachment portion.

In the figure (d), the mounting member 20 has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, but the fixing part 11 is formed of a plate-like body and is bent at both side edges of the box-shaped mounting part 12. 18 and 18 are formed substantially horizontally, and both bent portions 18 and 18 are screwed to the side edge portions of both long side portions of the fixing portion 11.
In the part shown in FIG. (E), the joint part of the fixing part 11 and the attachment part 12 is the same as that shown in the figure (d), but the cross-sectional shape of the attachment member 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. It is a thing.
