SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Japan is one of the most prominent earthquake-producing countries, and has been occurring frequently in recent years. Although the time of occurrence of this earthquake is not specified, it occurs relatively frequently from midnight to early morning. That is, since an earthquake occurs during bedtime, when the user wakes up and moves in the house, his feet fluctuate due to vibrations, making it difficult to reach the ceiling light switch. The above-mentioned conventional emergency light is turned on only after the flashlight is removed from the holder, so that it is not lit until it arrives.
It is extremely dangerous to fumble around without lights, especially when the seismic intensity is large and objects fall off the shelves or the glass breaks. In such a case, at present, there is no lamp that can be turned on by an earthquake and can be easily set. The present invention has been invented in order to solve the above-mentioned problems relating to the conventional emergency light, and detects vibration caused by an earthquake, turns on a set flashlight, and facilitates indoor walking at night. And a lighting device that can be used with the flashlight removed.

According to the present invention, as a means for solving the problems, two conductive plates separated by the weight of a mounted object are connected to each other by the movement of the mounted object caused by the vibration caused by an earthquake. The flashlight inserted and held is turned on by contact. That is, in an emergency light system in which the turning on and off of the flashlight can be selected by moving a contact that moves in and out of the rear cap end of the flashlight by moving in and out of a predetermined holder, in the upper part of the holder with a built-in battery, Two upper and lower conductive plates that can be pressed and contacted by a spring are provided, and these conductive plates are positioned in a non-contact state by the weight of an object placed on the lower conductive plate. Is established,
The movement of the stationary object caused by the vibration caused by the earthquake causes the upper and lower conductive plates to shift to the conductive state, guides the current from the battery to the lower conductive plate, and presses and contacts the lower conductive plate. The current is led into the flashlight from the conductive wire, the flashlight is turned on in a conductive state, and a series of current circuits that return to the battery via the upper and lower conductive plates from the conductive wire in the holder are formed. I do. The present invention is a seismic lighting device having the above configuration.

[0005]

In order to use the present invention, first, the holder 1 is attached to an appropriate place in the room, and the sphere 3 is placed on the circular hole provided in the rotating plate 2. At this time, the lower portion of the sphere is located below the circular hole, and the conductive plate 6 is pushed down to bring the conductive plate 5 and the conductive plate 6 into a non-contact state. In addition, the flashlight processed for the present invention is turned up and the switch is turned on so that the lid of the flashlight is inserted and held in the lower part of the holder. By this insertion, the protrusion protruding from the lid is retracted, the conduction in the flashlight is interrupted, and the state shifts to the non-lighting state. This completes the setting. When an earthquake occurs, the sphere vibrates and jumps off, leaving the circular hole. Then, since the rotating plate is pivotally supported by the holder, the rotating plate rotates, and the conductive plate 5 and the conductive plate 6 are brought into contact with each other by the spring to be in a conductive state. By this conduction, the current from the dry battery 9 is transmitted to the inside of the flashlight, and the electric bulb can be turned on. Then, when the flashlight is pulled out from the holder, the inside of the flashlight is conducted by the spring in the lid, and the lighting can be continued.

The lower end of the coil spring is fixed to the upper surface of the battery holder. A support plate 10 is fixed to the inner surface of the holder, and a lower conductive plate 11 is fixed to the lower surface thereof. Reference numeral 12 denotes a guide portion, which is a bar-shaped projecting portion which extends inward from the open portion inside the lower portion of the holder, and is provided at two locations facing each other. A buzzer 13 is attached to the upper surface of the support plate. Reference numeral 14 denotes a conductive wire in the holder, which is formed on the side of the holder between the support plate and the guide portion.
A conductor is inserted and fixed in each of the holes. The above-described holder 1 to conductive line 14 in the holder are the basic configuration of the seismic device.

Next, the structure of the lighting device will be described.
A normal flashlight has a case body that stores dry batteries, etc.
The main part is constituted by a lamp (light bulb) located at the front part of the case main body, a slide switch provided on the side of the case main body, and the like. Then, the case is turned on by setting the case to the minus side and contacting the tongue piece in the case. The negative side of the battery is transmitted to the case by the spring of the battery holder. In the emergency light system described above, a fan-shaped hole is made in the rear cover of a normal flashlight, and a holding plate, which is covered with a ring-shaped insulating plate around the metal plate, is located near the inner surface of the lid, and the insulating plate A convex portion is formed on the upper portion of the metal plate, and the convex portion has a size capable of entering and exiting the above-mentioned fan-shaped hole, and is formed by fixing a spring for holding down the battery to the lower surface of the metal plate. Therefore, when the battery is stored, the metal plate is pressed by the spring, and the lid and the metal plate are in contact with each other. If it is put in the holder in this state, the projection is pushed and the metal plate and the lid are separated, so that the light is turned off. Then, when the flashlight is pulled out of the holder in an emergency or the like, a spring force works, and the metal plate and the lid come into contact with each other and are turned on again. This is the mechanism of a conventional emergency light.

In the present invention, two holes are formed in the convex portion of the emergency flashlight, the lead wire is passed through, and the emergency light is brought into contact with the metal plate. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a lid 21 is screwed into the rear part of the case body 20, and an annular concave portion 22 is formed in the middle of the side surface of the lid. The holding plate 23 was positioned in the gap, and the coil spring 24 was attached to the lower surface of the holding plate. This holding plate is provided with an insulating plate 26 around a conductive plate 25 made of a metal plate.

As shown in FIG. 6, the plus side of the battery holder 8 containing the dry battery 9 is connected to the plus side of the buzzer 13, and the minus side of the buzzer is connected and fixed to the coil spring 7. The negative side of the battery holder is connected to the upper conductive plate 5, and the conductive plate 5 is connected to the conductive wire 1 in the holder.
4 is connected. Then, the lower conductive plate 11 is connected to the coil spring 7. When the flashlight in a lighting state is set in the case, the projection 27 is retracted, the conduction in the flashlight is cut off, and the flashlight is turned off. Assuming that an earthquake has occurred, the vibration causes the sphere 3 to jump and the rotating plate to be inclined, so that the upper conductive plate 5 and the lower conductive plate 6 come into contact with each other. Then, a current flows from the plus side of the battery 9, passes through the buzzer, reaches the lower conductive plate 11 via the coil spring, and the buzzer sounds.
In addition, since the protruding portion end face has a protruding portion conducting wire 28 and is in contact with the conducting plate 25, the current passes through the dry battery in the case, passes through the light bulb, and passes from the case body 20 to the conducting wire 14 in the holder.
Flows to the upper conductive plate 5 and the lower conductive plate 6 through the, and connects to the negative side of the battery, and the flashlight is turned on. Then, if the flashlight is pulled out from the holder, the inside of the flashlight becomes conductive and can be used as it is. In this example, a buzzer is connected to the circuit, and the occurrence of an earthquake can be notified by both light and sound.
