DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a member connecting device and a member connecting device in a lighting fixture, and is suitable as a device for connecting a light control member such as a glove or a shade to a decorative member in a lighting fixture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various devices for connecting a light control member and a decorative member have been proposed. Among them, when connecting both members with a connecting member which is arranged over the end faces of both members and fixed to each member by a predetermined fixing means, a thin plate connecting member is used.

[0003]

However, if a force is applied by careless handling, the connector will be irreversibly deformed. If the connecting member is made of a spring material, this adverse effect can be eliminated, but it is difficult for the light control member and the decorative member to come into close contact with each other. In particular, in the case of a lighting fixture in which the light control member and the decorative member are arranged above and below each other and the connecting tool is located on the side surface in the use state, the weight of the lower member causes the lower member to hang down slightly, and Since it creates a gap that cannot be ignored, it is not suitable for lighting fixtures that emphasize appearance. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and enables a first member such as a light control member and a second member such as a decorative member to be in close contact with each other, and it is difficult to generate a gap that causes a problem in appearance between both members. With the goal.

[0004]

To summarize the present invention, in order to solve the problems], each other
They are placed one above the other, and their end faces are butted against each other.
A device in which both members are connected by a connecting member which is arranged over one side surface of the first member and the second member which are flush with each other and is fixed to each member by a predetermined fixing means. The member coupling device is configured to have a bent portion along the boundary line on the end faces of the both members and to press the both members in a substantially linear state .

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, the first member 1 which is a light control member (for example, a glove or a shade) and the second member 2 which is a decorative member are arranged over one side surface of each member 1, 2. Both members 1 are connected by a connecting tool 3 which is fixed by a predetermined fixing means.
It is a device that combines two. The connector 3 has a spring property and is provided with a bent portion 4 along the boundary line a on the end faces of the members 1 and 2, so that the members 1 and 2 are substantially linear .
It is configured to press the two. More in detail, the first part
The material 1 and the second member 2 are arranged one above the other and their ends
A member coupling device when the surfaces are butted to each other.
You.

Further, as a more concrete means, the connecting member 3
Extends across the direction of the bent portion 4 as a boundary, at one end provided with a folded portion 7 which sandwich the first member 1 provided with a hole 6 in which the protrusion 5 provided on the side surface of the first member 1 is inserted, A screw hole 9 for a screw 8 screwed into the second member 2 is provided at the other end. Furthermore, connector 3 extends across the direction of the bent portion 4 as a boundary, at one end provided with a hole 6 in which the protrusion 5 provided on the side surface of the first member 1 is inserted, the in the first member 1 Guide protrusions 10 further protruding from the protrusions 5 are provided on both sides of the protrusions 5, and the distance between the guide protrusions 10 is slightly larger than the width of the connector 3.

More specifically, this luminaire is constructed as a wall mounting type, and the vertical surface of the substantially L-shaped mounting plate 11 is mounted on a wall surface (not shown) by appropriate means, and the drawing is complicated on the mounting plate 11. Therefore, although not shown, the first member 1 is attached by an appropriate means. The socket 13 on which the lamp 12 is mounted is mounted on the mounting plate 11.

The present embodiment is arranged above and below each other.
Member 1 and second member in which end faces of the
The two end faces of the two members 1 and 2 should be in contact with each other as closely as possible.
To prevent the appearance of a gap between them
Very effective. That is, the two members 1 and 2 are flush with each other.
It is arranged over the side surface and each member 1, 2
The connector 3 fixed by the fixing means is used.
Boundary at the end faces of both members 1 and 2 having elasticity
The bent part 4 along the line a is provided, and both parts are substantially straight.
The members 1 and 2 are joined by pressing the members 1 and 2 together.
Since the device is a separate device, the first member 1 and the second member 2 are in close contact with each other.
Touch it to create a gap between both members 1 and 2
I do not. That is, the weight of the lower member 2 lowers the lower member 2
I tend to hang down and ignore it between both members 1 and 2.
It is possible to prevent a gap that cannot be formed. Special
A light control member 1 as a first member and a decorative portion as a second member
The materials 2 are arranged one above the other and the connector 3 is located on the side
The weight of the lower member 2 in the case of the luminaire that is in use
The lower member 2 tends to hang down a little,
Prevent a gap that cannot be ignored between 1 and 2
Since it can be stopped, it is suitable for lighting fixtures where the appearance is important.

Further, when the guide protrusion 10 further protruding from the protrusion 5 is provided and the distance between the guide protrusions 10 is slightly larger than the width of the connector 3, the hole 6 of the connector 3 is formed.
When the connector 3 is mounted so that the protrusion 5 of the first member 1 is inserted into the first member 1, the guide protrusion 10 serves the guide function of the connector 3 and is easy to assemble.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention is arranged above and below each other.
The first member that is placed and has its end faces butted against each other
And the end faces of the second member as close as possible to each other,
Make sure there are no gaps between the materials
Is very effective for.
