Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a finger-ring type light capable of turning a power source on/off with a natural operation for human being, which solves the problem that in a case of inserting only hands into a narrow pipe or a gap between machines and performing work, since an electric torch or the like cannot enter the gap, it is difficult to illuminate a place at which work is performed so as to prevent the place from getting dark.SOLUTION: Since a switch can be turned on/off with an operation of closing two fingers by including at the side part of a ring a power source switch conducting a power source and a light source, provided can be a finger-ring type light in which a load hardly acts on a finger.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

The present invention relates to a ring-type light that is used by being fitted on a finger.

When working with a narrow pipe or with only a hand in the gap between equipment, it is often difficult to illuminate so that the flashlight will not get into the gap, so that the hands working will not be dark. Therefore, some lights having a ring shape that is used by being fitted to the finger of a hand have been proposed.

Utility Model Registration No. 3140354 Design registration No. 1279127

By the way, the ring-type light has a problem of how to turn the power on / off. According to Patent Document 1, a structure is proposed in which a micro button switch is provided at a position where the fingertip is in contact with the abdomen, and the power of the ring light can be turned on / off with one hand by bending the first joint of the finger. .

However, the action of bending the first joint of the finger is unnatural as an action that humans normally consciously use, and if used, it may hurt the fingers.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a ring-type light that can be turned on / off with a more natural operation for humans.

The ring-type light of the present invention includes a power source and a light source on the outer peripheral edge of the opening of the ring, and a power switch for conducting the power source and the light source on the side of the ring.

The ring-type light of the present invention includes a power source and a light source on the outer peripheral edge of the opening of the ring, and a power switch for conducting the power source and the light source on the side of the ring.

Further, the power source and the light source may be accommodated in a pedestal provided on the outer peripheral edge of the ring.

According to the present invention, since the power switch for electrically connecting the power source and the light source is provided on the side portion of the ring, the switch can be turned on / off by the operation of closing two fingers. It is possible to provide a ring-type light that is difficult to wear.

It is a structure of the ring type light of this invention, Comprising: It is a perspective view which shows embodiment which provided the light source in the outer periphery of the ring main body. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a ring type light of the present invention, in which a cutout is provided in a part of a ring. It is a structure of the ring type light of this invention, Comprising: It is a perspective view which shows embodiment which provided the light source in the base.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a ring type light of the present invention.

According to FIG. 1, the ring-shaped light is provided on the ring-shaped main body 001, the light source 101 provided in the socket 002 on the outer peripheral edge of the main body 001, the power source 201 stored in the main body 001, and the side of the main body 001. The power switch 301 is provided.

Here, the socket 002 is provided at a position that comes forward when the ring is attached to the finger of the hand, and the power switch 301 is provided at a position next to the finger and between the fingers.

The light source 101 is detachably provided in the socket 002. A white LED is mainly used for power saving and space saving, but an incandescent light bulb may be used. Light sources that are currently popular and light sources that are devised in the future can be used.

In order to efficiently diffuse the light emitted from the light source 101, the socket 002 may be provided with a reflector or a diffuser.

The power source 201 is housed in the main body 001, and a small battery such as a button battery is preferably used. A power source that is currently popular and a power source that is devised in the future can be used.

The space for housing the power supply 201 is preferably provided inside the ring of the main body 001 rather than being provided outside the ring of the main body 001 so as not to be noticeable.

A power switch 301 for electrically connecting the power source 201 and the light source 101 is provided on the side of the main body 001.

Since the power switch 301 is provided between the fingers, closing the finger pushes the power switch 301 at a side portion of the finger, so that the light source 101 is turned on with the power source 201.

As the push button switch, an automatic return type switch that is turned on only while the button is pressed and a position holding type switch that is switched on / off each time the button is pressed are well known. Either of them may be adopted.

Since the circuit connecting the light source 101, the power source 201, and the power switch 301 is not different from a conventionally known circuit, detailed description thereof is omitted.

The power switch 301 is preferably a touch switch.

When a push button switch is used as the power switch 301, it is necessary to press the power switch 301 by applying a force to the side portion of the finger. If the switch is repeatedly turned on and off, the finger will behave unfamiliarly and there is a risk of damaging the finger tendon and tendon sheath.

For this reason, the structure which can turn on / off a switch, without applying a burden to a finger is calculated | required.

Therefore, in the ring-type light of the present invention, a touch switch is used as the power switch 301 so that the switch can be turned on / off by lightly touching the finger without applying force.

Touch switches that operate with a light touch, such as capacitive touch switches, are preferred, but switches such as non-contact micro switches, pressure sensitive switches, and tape switches can be turned on and off with a light press. You can do it.

The touch switch has a momentary operation in which the switch is turned on only while the switch is touched, and a touch switch performs an alternate operation in which the switch is switched on / off each time the switch is touched. Both can be used for 301.

Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can be used switching a momentary operation and an alternate operation | movement.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 shows a ring-type light body 001 described with reference to FIG. A notch is provided so that it can be worn without being affected by the thickness of the finger, and the ring is made free size.

In FIG. 3, a pedestal 401 is provided on the upper portion of the main body 001, and the light source 101 and the power source 201 are accommodated in the pedestal 401. When it is difficult to accommodate the light source 101 and the power source 201 in the main body 001, such a configuration may be used. Moreover, you may provide a notch in the main body 001 like embodiment of FIG.

The material used for the main body 001 can be metal, plastic, leather, rubber or the like, and can be appropriately selected and implemented in consideration of practicality as a light and aesthetics as a ring.

The “ring” generally means an accessory that fits on a finger of a hand (rarely a foot), but the ring-type light of the present invention is not necessarily limited to satisfying the aesthetics as an accessory.

The present invention has industrial applicability as a ring-type light that illuminates a hand when working in a closed place or a dark place.
