Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] A lighting device worn by a person on the head has conventionally consumed a large amount of current because of using an incandescent light bulb, and therefore requires a large battery and is heavy. The present invention reduces current consumption and can be used with small button batteries, etc.
Provide a lightweight lighting device. A lighting device is provided in which a battery 3 and a plurality of LEDs 1 are arranged on a headband 4 (helmet 8), and which is mounted on a person's head so that light work and reading of characters can be performed in a dark place. .

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a lighting device for proximity lighting used for inspection of power distribution facilities, construction, night inspection, serviceman inspection required, hobbies (for hobbies), and map lights (helmets for motorcycles).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Since this kind of conventional lighting device uses an incandescent light bulb, it consumes a large amount of current, requires a large battery, is heavy, and is difficult to handle.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and provides a light-weight lighting device that can suppress current consumption and can be used with a small button battery or the like.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention reduces power consumption, reduces the size and weight of batteries, and provides the user with ease of mounting and a comfortable feeling of use by using LEDs for mounting on the human head.

[0005] In addition, a means for fixing the present invention into a small module outside the helmet and fixing it with an adhesive is also effective.

Further, it can be built into a helmet or the like, and can be easily integrated with a cap body.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall external view of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, an LED 1, a switch 2, and a button battery 3 are built in a headband 4, and LEDs are also built in on a facing side (a total of two LEDs are arranged in the drawing). The switch 2 on the side is connected. Note that the switch 2 and the button battery 3 may be on either the front side or the facing side, and may be distinguished, for example, as right-handed / left-handed. If there is little need to turn on / off the illumination, the switch 2 may not be necessary.

FIG. 2 is a view showing the internal structure of the present invention, and is a view of the headband 4 of FIG. 1 as viewed from above.

In FIG. 2, an LED 1, a switch 2, and a resistor 5 are respectively arranged inside a headband 4, and wiring is performed such that the LED 2 is turned on / off by the switch 2. Since this connection is obvious to those skilled in the art, the description is omitted.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the effect of using the structure of the lighting device of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the present invention, since the LED 1 can be disposed close to the human eye 6, the efficiency of the amount of reflected light for grasping the recognition target 7 increases.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a lighting device made by diverting the present invention, in which the present invention is mounted on a helmet.

In FIG. 4, the light emitting module 10 can be integrated into the eaves portion 9 of the helmet 8 as shown in the left diagram, or the light emitting module 10 can be provided outside the helmet 8 as shown in the right diagram. There is also a structure to fix with.

Although the present embodiment has exemplified several characteristic configurations for explaining the present invention, the present invention uses LEDs as an illumination light source to reduce current consumption and reduce the size of batteries. Thus, the weight is reduced and the handling is convenient. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various structures (for example, the number and position of the LEDs are changed according to the use) are considered. Are also included in the scope of the present invention.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 With the lighting device of the present invention, the LED consumes less current, so that the device can be miniaturized and mounted easily. In addition, the lighting effect was obtained because there was a large amount of light and it was easy to work in a dark place.
