Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fluorescent lamp lantern used in camping and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Light sources for outdoor use such as camping include lanterns using gas or gasoline, fluorescent light lanterns using flashlights or fluorescent lights, and the like.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Lanthanum using gas or gasoline cannot be used in a tent due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning due to incomplete combustion. In addition, since the luminous body called mantle is easily damaged, it is difficult for beginners to carry and use.

In addition, a flashlight cannot illuminate the whole.

Further, the fluorescent light lantern does not have the above-mentioned problems, but since the dry battery as a power source is built in the main body, it becomes heavy as a whole and is hung on a lantern hook inside a branch of a standing tree or a tent. Is difficult. It is not impossible to hang it to illuminate a wide area, but if there is strong wind, it may fall.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fluorescent light lantern that is safe to be hung on a branch of a standing tree or a lantern hook of a tent.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a usage state of a fluorescent lamp lantern according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic front view of the fluorescent lamp lantern, and FIG. 3 omits an internal structure of the fluorescent lamp lantern. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a schematic rear view of a fluorescent lamp lantern according to another embodiment.

The fluorescent lamp lantern according to the present embodiment includes a main body portion 100 in which two fluorescent lamps 160 are housed, a power source portion 200 detachably attached to the main body portion 100, and the main body portion 100. It has a lighting circuit (not shown) and a connection cord 300 for connecting the power supply unit 200.

The main body 100 includes a transparent cylindrical squirt portion 110, a circuit housing portion 120 provided above the squirt portion 110, and a space between the circuit housing portion 120 and the squirt portion 110. The transparent cap portion 130 is provided, the handle portion 140 is rotatably provided in the circuit housing portion 120, and the connecting portion 150 is provided at a lower end portion of the squirt portion 110.

The fluorescent lamp 160 is mounted upright between the circuit housing portion 120 and the connecting portion 150. In the drawing, two thin rods 161 adjacent to the fluorescent lamp 160 are conductive wires that form a part of a lighting circuit of the fluorescent lamp 160.

The circuit housing section 120 is attachable to and detachable from the squirt section 110. For example, if the fluorescent lamp 160 is damaged, the circuit housing 120 is removed and the fluorescent lamp 160 is replaced. Further, a lighting switch 121 is provided on the zenith of the circuit housing section 120.

A handle 140 is rotatably attached to both sides of the circuit housing 120 by a pin 141. Therefore, when the fluorescent lamp lantern is stored, it can be made compact by storing the fluorescent lamp lantern with the handle portion 140 tilted down.

A starter, a constant current circuit, and the like that form the lighting circuit are housed inside the circuit housing unit 120 while mounted on the printed circuit board.

Further, the connecting part 150 is a part for attaching and detaching the power source part 200 described later to and from the main body part 100, and prevents the hand from slipping on the outer peripheral surface when the power source part 200 is attached and detached. A convex / concave portion 151 is provided around the entire circumference. A female screw (not shown) is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the connecting portion 150. A connection cord 300 connected to the lighting circuit extends from the bottom surface of the connecting portion 150.

Further, a cutout 152 is provided at the edge of the connecting portion 150. The notch 152 is for the connection cord 300 connecting the main body 100 and the power supply 200 to pass when the main body 100 with the power supply 200 removed is placed on a table, the ground, or the like. However, although this cutout 152 is shown only in FIG. 4, it is also provided in the fluorescent lamp lantern according to this embodiment.

On the other hand, the power supply unit 200 accommodates a dry battery, which is a primary battery. The other end of the connection cord 300 is connected to a terminal portion (not shown) connected to the dry battery.

The power supply unit 200 has a substantially columnar shape, and an upper end thereof is provided with a male screw (not shown) corresponding to the female screw. The power supply unit 200 is detachably attached to the main body unit 100 by the male screw and the female screw.

Here, when the power supply section 200 is attached to the main body section 100, a space is formed between them. This space is used as a cord storage section 170 for storing the connection cord 300.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the connection cord 300 is curled so as to be easily stored in the cord storage portion 170.

A method of using the fluorescent lamp lantern thus configured will be described. First, when the power supply unit 200 is directly placed on the table or the ground, the power supply unit 200 is left attached to the main body unit 100. This is because if the power supply unit 200 is left attached in this way, it will be difficult to fall due to the weight of the dry battery.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when hooked on a branch of a standing tree or a lantern hook inside a tent, the power supply unit 200 is removed from the main body unit 100, and the power supply unit 200 is placed on the ground or the like. Used in. Then, since the weight of the main body 100 is applied only to the branches and the like, the risk of the main body 100 falling is reduced.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the dry battery which is the primary battery is used as the power source of the power source unit 200, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a secondary battery (not shown) such as a nickel-cadmium battery can be used as the power source of the power source unit 200. In this case, the power supply unit 200 is provided with a charging jack 210 to which a charging cord (not shown) for charging the internal secondary battery is connected, as shown in FIG.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the space between the main body 100 and the power supply 200 is the code storage 170, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the bottom of the connecting portion 150 of the main body 100 does not have a space, and only the upper surface of the power supply 200 may have a space serving as a code storage. On the contrary, there may be no space on the upper surface of the power supply unit 200 and only the bottom of the connecting unit 150 may be formed.

[Effect of device]

 The fluorescent lamp lantern according to the present invention comprises a main body in which the fluorescent lamp is housed, a power supply unit which is detachable from the main body, and a connection cord for connecting the lighting circuit of the main body and the power supply unit. Therefore, if you remove the power supply unit containing the heavy power supply from the main unit and hang only the main unit on a branch of a standing tree or a lantern hook of a tent, the risk of falling will be reduced.

Further, since the main body section or the power supply section is provided with a cord storage section for storing a connection cord when the power supply section is attached to the main body section, the state in which the power supply section is attached to the main body section is shown. The connection cord does not get in the way even when used in.

Further, in the power source unit, if a primary battery is used as a power source, it is easy to obtain the power source and the utility value as a fluorescent lamp lantern used in camping or the like becomes high.

On the contrary, if the secondary battery is used as a power source in the power source unit, it is not necessary to throw away dry batteries and the like, which is excellent from the viewpoint of ecology. In addition, it is economical because it uses the secondary battery repeatedly.
