It has parts 10a and 10b.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a transparent plate made of an acrylic plate or a glass plate having a thickness of about 5 mm, which is installed by positioning the panel between the mounting frame 1 and the decorative panel 6, and the transparent plate 11 is a decorative panel. The size of the lighting space 12 is slightly larger than the size 6, and allows the fitting into the wiring tool projecting portions 4a and 5a, and defines the illumination space 12 at a position adjacent to the wiring tool mounting portion (between the switch 4 and the outlet 5) as shown in FIG. A vertically long central square hole 13, a recess 15 for positioning and fitting the panel 6, and a circular hole 15a as shown in FIG. 4 (b) into which the mounting hole back surface boss portions 10a, 10b of the panel 6 are fitted, 15b and the peripheral portion 11a extending outward from the panel peripheral portion 6a is cut in an obliquely inclined state as shown in FIGS.

Reference numeral 16 is a lighting block body having two neon tubes 17a and 17b for illuminating the illumination space 12 with colored light (eg, green light) as illumination lamps 17, and the switch 4 of the mounting frame 1 and an outlet. 5, the switch 4 and the component 5 are attached by the same hooking method as in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 (a).

A power line 18 is connected to the outlet 5 as shown in FIG. 3, and a plurality of leads are provided between the socket 5 and the lighting block body 16 and between the block body 16 and the switch 4. Wires 19a and 19b are connected as shown in FIG. 3 to form an electric circuit in which the illumination lamp 17 (two neon tubes 17a and 17b) is always turned on regardless of ON / OFF operation of the switch 4.

The wiring device with illumination having the above-described structure is mounted and used in a state as shown in FIG. 3, and when the lamp 17 (two neon tubes 17a and 17b) is turned on. When the lamp light that illuminates the illumination space 12 strikes the rectangular hole cutting surface of the transparent plate 11, the lamp light passes through the inside of the transparent plate 11 and is guided to the outer peripheral side, and from the panel peripheral portion 6a of the transparent plate 11. The peripheral portion 11a extending outward is illuminated with green light in a frame-like state.

[0013] Therefore, it has an advantage that the feeling when viewed in a dark place such as a room is very beautiful and the design is excellent, and the distance between the user's own position and the equipment installation portion and the relative distance are relatively high compared to the conventional point lighting. This makes it easier to understand the different positional relationships and improves the safety and convenience at night compared to the conventional ones, and has an excellent practical effect as a help to prevent night accidents.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where two electric wiring tools (switch 4 and outlet 5) having different forms are mounted on the mounting frame 1 has been described. However, the central portion of the mounting frame 1 (lighting block body) It can also be applied to a wiring device in which only one switch 4 or outlet 5 is attached to the part (where 16 is attached).

In this case, the decorative panel 6 has one square hole (apparatus exposure hole), and the lighting block body 16 is provided at the upper and lower parts of the equipment adjacent to the mounting portion of the switch 4 or the outlet 5 of the mounting frame 1. A structure in which the peripheral portion 11a of the transparent plate 11 is illuminated in a frame-like state by individually mounting and illuminating the two illumination spaces 12 defined in the upper and lower parts of the device by the vertically long rectangular holes 13 of the transparent plate 11. It is said that

The above-mentioned neon tube is used for 100V as the illumination source depending on the shape of the wiring equipment, the type of the circuit, etc., and the miniature lamp is used for the wiring equipment using a low voltage power source such as an intercom. The illumination color can be freely changed by the color of the illumination source or the color of the acrylic plate, which is the transparent plate 11. Also, in the case of a power failure such as an earthquake, a transparent luminous paint is applied to the peripheral part 11a of the transparent plate 11. If this is done, it is possible to safely take countermeasures such as turning off the switch by using the afterglow time of the luminous paint.

Regarding the illumination brightness, in the neon tube type, increasing the number of neon tubes in parallel in the lighting circuit makes it brighter, and in the miniature lamp type, making it serially connected makes it darker. Therefore, these techniques are applied. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be changed to a desired one, and the back surface of the transparent plate 11 and the outer peripheral edge part 11b are shielded from light so that light is emitted only to the peripheral part 11a of the transparent plate 11. It is also possible to adopt a configuration of shielding with (not shown).
