BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an indoor lighting device for a bus used for sightseeing and the like, particularly when the ceiling is see-through.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a sightseeing bus, as shown in FIG.
A passage a is provided at the center of the bus in the vehicle width direction, and a plurality of seats b are provided in parallel in the vehicle width direction with the passage interposed therebetween. Then, the passenger is configured to enjoy the scenery through the windows c provided on both side walls of the vehicle body while sitting on the seat.

However, in a conventional sightseeing bus, an occupant sitting in a seat on the right side in the traveling direction, for example, can enjoy the view on the right side sufficiently, but cannot enjoy the view on the left side, especially the upper left view of a building or the like. I had to move near the left window and look up.

In recent years, as a sightseeing bus mainly for sightseeing, a transparent polycarbonate plate or glass as disclosed in JP-A-61-150875 has been used as a roof member so that the upper right and left views can be seen from the room. What has been appeared.

[0005]

However, in constructing such a bus, it is necessary to arrange a plurality of aggregates on the ceiling in order to support the above-mentioned roof member. In order to install the lighting device on the top, it is necessary to enlarge the lighting device itself to spread the illumination light to the left and right, and therefore a central aggregate extending in the vehicle length direction must have a certain wide width. No.

As a result, for example, when a passenger sitting in a seat on the right side tries to see the scenery on the upper left side, the wide central aggregate itself and a large illuminating device arranged there obstruct the view, and the scenery is obstructed. It is not possible to enjoy it sufficiently, and the meaning of making the roof member transparent is reduced by half.

The present invention has been devised to solve these problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an indoor lighting device that takes into account the installation location and size of the lighting device in order to make it easy to see the obliquely upward view from the seat. With the goal.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a roof roof having a required width extending in the vehicle width direction at predetermined intervals on a ceiling constituting a vehicle roof in the vehicle length direction. The ceiling roof member is supported by arranging the ceiling roof member in parallel, and a long and narrow lighting device such as a fluorescent lamp is provided along the lower portion of the horizontal roof aggregate so that the lighting can be distributed throughout the room. Further, by providing curtain rails on the left and right of the lighting fixture, the light-shielding curtain can be freely adjusted between the horizontal roof aggregates.

[0009]

According to the above construction, by integrating the horizontal roof aggregate having the required width and the lighting device, both the role of supporting the roof member and the role of equally distributing the lighting to the left and right are provided by the horizontal roof aggregate. It can be shared. In addition, since the light-shielding curtain can be freely adjusted between the horizontal roof aggregates, light from outside can be shielded only at desired locations by the light-shielding curtain.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a see-through bus showing one embodiment of the present invention, 1 is a side wall of the bus, 2 is a window provided on the side wall 1 for passengers to look out, and 3 is a passenger seat. In this case, three seats are provided for one person in the vehicle width direction. Reference numeral 4 denotes a roof member made of transparent glass constituting a roof of a bus, and reference numeral 5 denotes a horizontal roof aggregate having a required width and extending in the vehicle width direction in which the lighting device is provided.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the horizontal roof aggregate and a configuration diagram of an indoor lighting device. The lateral roof aggregate 5 has flanges 51 a and 51 for supporting the roof member 4.
b, a fluorescent lamp 6 is provided below the horizontal roof aggregate 5 as an illuminating device via a fluorescent lamp supporting member 62 with an adhesive 52.
Installed by. Curtain rails 6a and 6b are attached to the left and right of the fluorescent lamp 6 as shown in the figure.
The interior lighting device is configured by covering the fluorescent lamp 6 with a and 6b.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the roof part of the bus, and a plurality of fluorescent lamps 6 are mounted along the lower part of the horizontal roof aggregate 5 as shown in the figure, so that the lighting is evenly distributed to the left and right. . The fluorescent lamp 6 may be operated in conjunction with a serial circuit, or may be operated independently with a parallel circuit. Further, the light-shielding curtain 7 is provided so as to cover the glass roof member. By providing the light-shielding curtain roll 71, the wind-up curtain 7 can be arbitrarily wound up, and the position for covering the glass roof member can be freely adjusted.

[0013] Based on the above configuration, since the elongated roof lamp 6 can be attached to the horizontal roof aggregate, the width of the aggregate does not need to be too large. As a result, the area of the transparent glass roof member 4 can be increased. it can. Further, the horizontal roof aggregate 5 can also serve both as a function of supporting the transparent glass roof member 4 and a function of evenly distributing the lighting in the left and right directions. From this, the ceiling view in the vehicle width direction can be seen through the horizontal roof aggregate, so when the passenger looks outside, the landscape in the left and right direction can be seen through the window, and when looking up above the building etc. By looking between the roof aggregates, the ceiling member to which the indoor lighting device is attached does not obstruct the passenger's view, and the outside scene can be sufficiently enjoyed. Further, in the above embodiment, the roof was described based on a bus made of a transparent member, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the roof of the bus is formed based on a horizontal roof aggregate, and the lower part is illuminated. It is widely applied by providing a device.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention,
Interior lighting such as fluorescent lamps is attached along the lower part of the horizontal roof aggregate extending in the vehicle width direction and integrated, so that passengers sitting in the seats are blocked by the ceiling member equipped with the interior lighting device There is no, and you can fully enjoy the outside scenery. Furthermore, since the illuminating light is evenly distributed to the left and right, the disadvantage that the side of the passage is bright and the side of the window is dim as in the related art is also solved. In addition, since the position of the light-blocking curtain can be freely adjusted, it is possible to separately cope with the requests of a plurality of passengers, for example, to block light only in a place where the sun is strong.
