Description

  The present invention relates to a fire extinguisher box / lighting fixture that is a lighting fixture and can accommodate a fire extinguisher inside.

A certain number of fire extinguishers will be installed at inns, hotels, party venues, etc., due to fire regulations and safety considerations. However, since the fire extinguisher is conspicuous red with the appearance that it is understood that it is a fire extinguisher, it is not always preferable to install the fire extinguisher so that the fire extinguisher can be seen from the viewpoint of forming an atmosphere of a ryokan, a hotel, a party venue or the like. In particular, the appearance of the fire extinguisher hinders the formation of the atmosphere when it is desired to create a calm atmosphere for guests such as inns and hotel guests and party attendees.
As a countermeasure for this problem, a fire extinguisher box for storing a fire extinguisher has been used. The fire extinguisher box stores the fire extinguisher to prevent the red color from touching the customer's eyes, and it is clear to the visitor that a fire extinguisher is installed there. Consideration is also given.
Moreover, a fire extinguisher box and a light emitter were sometimes used together. Patent Document 1 discloses that a light emitter is provided at the top of a fire extinguisher box to ensure guidance of an evacuation route.

  However, even the above measures have the following problems, and only an insufficient effect is obtained in terms of forming an atmosphere. The problem stems from the fact that even a fire extinguisher box is an article that is installed only for the purpose of installing a fire extinguisher, and is not an article that is naturally installed in a ryokan, a hotel, a party venue or the like. A fire extinguisher can be seen in that the visitor will have the impression that there is something special that is not in the normal interior of a ryokan, hotel, party venue, etc. It is the same as the case where it installs. That is, the conventional fire extinguisher box is not in harmony with the overall interior of the inn, hotel, party hall, etc., and the problem of disturbing the calm atmosphere has not been completely solved.
