[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable lighting device which can be attached to the outside via an attachment member and is suitable for use at the time of camping or disaster.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, this type of illuminating device has a hook provided on one side of a main body having a battery box serving as a power storage portion so as to be able to be attached to the outside. In some cases, the lighting unit is folded on the other side of the main body when not in use and can be stored compactly. Further, in a lighting device provided with a hook on one side of a main body having such a battery box, a flexible tube is connected to an upper portion of the main body, and an illumination portion is provided at a tip of the flexible tube, so that the main body is mounted and fixed. What can move a lighting part in arbitrary directions is known.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above prior art, in the case of the former lighting device having a rotatable lighting unit,
Since only one axis for rotating the illuminator is provided for the main body, the illuminator cannot be directed in the left-right direction of the main body. In addition, when the lighting section is folded toward the main body, the battery box and the lighting section overlap each other, so that the entire device is thickened and the storage capacity is not so good, and the lighting section is protruded from the main body. If it is held with the, it may be difficult to use. In addition, in the case of the latter lighting device having a flexible tube, although illumination can be performed in all directions, the storage efficiency is extremely poor because the flexible tube is always exposed to the outside from the main body when not in use.

When the switch cover 15 is pushed up above the main body 3 against the elasticity of the switch 3, the upper end side of the switch contact piece 14 comes into contact with the contact piece 5. At this time, in the bulb storage section 43 of the illumination section 41, the bulb
In the mounted state of 46, the light metal cap 48 contacts one electrode of the bulb 46, and the other electrode of the bulb 46 and the light metal cap 48 contact the respective bulb contact pieces 44. The power supply voltage from the connected battery B is applied to both poles of the light bulb 46 via the lead wire 53, and the light bulb 46 is always turned on.

When the hook 7 is rotated in any direction about the opening 12, the hook 7 is moved to the main body 3 every time the projection 13 of the main body case 2 engages with the recess 8 of the support piece 10. It is fixed on one side. Therefore, this concave portion 8 is
By holding an external member such as a body or object between the support piece 10 or the main body case 2 and the elastic piece 11 while engaging the main body 3 at an angle of 90 ° with respect to the external member. Can be attached and fixed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the illumination part 41 is pulled out from the main body 3, the guide rib 17 and the seat 29 are removed.
Due to the contact with the stopper 24, the movement of the movable portion 21 in the axial direction is restricted inside the storage portion 16, so that when the movable portion 21 is rotated in its own axial direction via the illumination portion 41, Locking claw 28 of stopper 24 and corrugated portion of movable arms 22 and 23
The movable portion 21 is fixed to the main body 3 at predetermined angles according to the engagement position with the main body 3. Also, within a range in which the side portion of the light case 42 comes into contact with the bent portions 62 and 63 of the movable arms 22 and 23, the illumination portion 41 is also orthogonal to the rotation axis of the movable portion 21 and has a support shaft 58 as an axis center. Rotate. At this time, the lighting unit 41 is fixed at a predetermined angle to the movable unit 21 in accordance with the engagement position between the uneven portion 55 of the light case 42 and the protrusion 56 of the ratchet 54. Therefore, by combining the rotating operation of the movable part 21 and the lighting part 41, the lighting part
41 can be pivoted radially.

On the other hand, when not in use, the illuminating section 41 is rotated so as to substantially coincide with the axial direction of the movable section 21, and then the illuminating section 41 is moved together with the movable section 21 to the storage section 16 side of the main body 3. .
When the wing portion 31 gets over the locking piece 20 formed on the rear wall 19 side, the wing portion 31 abuts on the locking piece 20 to prevent the movable portion 21 from coming out of the storage portion 16 and to prevent the movable portion 21 from coming out. 21 is completely accommodated in the storage section 16, and an illumination section 41 is provided at the upper front of the main body 3.
Is stored compactly.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the movable section 21 and the illumination section 41, which rotate in different axial directions, are provided. Alternatively, the illumination unit 41 can be freely illuminated in any direction by appropriately rotating the illumination unit 41. In addition, hook 7 is attached to body 3
By being rotatably provided on one side, the movable unit 21 and the lighting unit 41 and the hook 7 can be rotated in an independent direction, and the lighting unit 41 can be more easily oriented in a desired direction, and can be turned in any direction. It is possible to illuminate freely. In addition, since the movable part 21 that moves the illumination part 41 in a predetermined direction is protruded and retracted in the front-rear direction, that is, in the axial direction with respect to the storage part 16 of the main body 3, the illumination part 41 is moved together with the movable part 21 into the storage part 16 of the main body 3.
Side , the movable part 21 is completely contained in the storage part 16
You. Therefore, the movable part 21 can be stored in the storage part 16 when not in use, which does not require illumination, and a compact storage state can be secured without projecting the illumination part 41 from the main body 3.

Further , between the movable part 21 and the storage part 16 of the main body 3
Is rotated by a first lattice including a wavy portion 27 and a locking piece 28.
In addition to restricting in a step-by-
The rotation between the illumination unit 41 and the illumination unit 41 is also a second ratchet mechanism.
These are regulated in stages by the ratchet 54.
The rotation position can be held step by step. Accordingly
When using the camera with the main body 3 attached and fixed,
Even if 21 is moved to another position, return to the original position and
It becomes possible to illuminate in any direction.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention . Also, the shape of the serving mounting member hooks, etc. material may be appropriately changed according to the intended use of the lighting device.
