DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a branch-and-hanging lighting device which protects trees from snow and also has lighting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, there has been no apparatus which has both hanging and branch lighting of a tree. Therefore, lighting up trees in snowy areas, especially in areas where the snow is sticky, is cumbersome to construct, and the production of light in snowy scenes was small.

[0003]

Conventionally, ropes have been used for branch suspension, but recently it has become difficult to obtain ropes. Also, it has become expensive to throw away ropes after use.

[0004] On the other hand, no light is found on a tree on which branches are suspended. If so, it is due to a separately installed lighting device. Therefore, a place for installing the lighting device is required. The entire tree becomes flat because it is illuminated from a distance from the tree. To produce this three-dimensionally,
You need to illuminate from many places. For this reason, the lighting devices are scattered outside the trees, which impairs the landscape.

[0005] In the case of a lighting device installed on the ground, it is necessary to remove snow whenever snow falls in places with a lot of snow. or,
Some were made to illuminate the trees to improve the scenery, but the lighting from the ground is extremely low, so it is dazzling to the driver of the car traveling near, causing poor visibility and hindering traffic. It can be.

When the tree is high, the wattage of the lamp needs to be increased, and the amount of electricity used increases. At present, energy saving measures are regarded as important, and development of energy saving lighting methods is desired.

On the other hand, since the light is illuminated in the sky direction, there is an effect on wild birds and the like. There are examples of blinding and hitting buildings. The lighting of the city is too bright for those who observe the stars. The present invention has been made to solve many problems as described above.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a lighting device for both hanging and hanging a tree, which is provided with both hanging and lighting of a tree. As usual, the electric wire with the bulb attached to the support wire is supported. This serves two purposes. In addition, the entire tree is three-dimensionally produced by the lighting inside the umbrella.

[0009] Both ends of the support wire are provided with hooks.
It is better to protect the support line with a bark or rope instead of directly wrapping it around the branch. However, if the length of the support line is short, it is better to use a rope from the hook. The pillars are stabilized by the support at the bottom of the pillars and do not damage the roots of the tree. Slide the pillar according to the length of the tree, and fix it with a tightening bolt at an appropriate position.
The tree grows year by year, so you can adjust it with the slide when you use it next year. If this is to be stored, reduce it to a minimum.

[0010]

When the tree is hung from the snow by the above-described branch-hanging lighting device, a beautiful three-dimensional scene can be brought to the city while protecting valuable trees from snow. It is sufficient to use relatively low wattage bulbs for illumination, eliminating the danger of dazzling effects from intense light.
In addition, by adding the ropes of the support lines as a solution to the shortage of the ropes, branching can be performed with a small amount of ropes. The pillars stabilize on the ground by being erected and will not fall down due to the weight of snow,
Does not damage the roots of trees.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, common portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a branch-hanging illumination according to the present invention. (A) The hollow pipe is a pillar 1, an umbrella 4 is provided above the pillar 1, a plurality of support rods 5 are provided radially around the pillar 1 below the umbrella 4, a ring 6 is provided on the outer periphery thereof, and the ring 6 and the pillar 1 are provided. Insert a plurality of rings as appropriate between. A hook 7 attached to the tip of the support wire 12 is hooked on the ring 6. (B) An outlet 8 is provided below the ring. The electric wire 9 is put in the hollow part of the pillar and pulled out from the middle of the pillar. (C) At the bottom of the pillar, mount 10 with bolts 11.
The erection 10 shall be installed on the ground without being buried underground. In this way, the pillar portion of the present invention can be installed without damaging the root portion of the tree.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a support line portion. (D) Hooks 7 are provided at both ends of the support wire 12 to support an electric wire 16 with a bulb attached to the support wire 12. Alternatively, the support wire and the electric wire are integrated. (E) If one support wire 12 is short due to the height of the tree, a connector can be attached to the electric wire 16 with the bulb, and the support wire can be used. It is also possible to make several types of lengths and use them in combination. The support wire portion has the above configuration.

FIG. 3 is a sectional perspective view of the umbrella portion at the top of the column. A plurality of lamps 13 are appropriately provided inside the umbrella 4.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a state where the column is made to be able to expand and contract. Divide the pillar into upper and lower part, pillar A in upper part, pillar B in lower part
The column A has a dimension to enter the hollow portion of the column B, and the slide portion has an appropriate length. Further, the column B may be inserted into the hollow portion of the column A. When the required overall length is determined, a plurality of fastening bolts 14 are provided on the top of the column B to support the column A. Attach a stopper 15 to the column A so as not to lower it too much. A telescopic pillar configuration having the above configuration.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. With the above configuration, even a layman can easily install the device and complete the branch hanging operation and lighting. In addition to hanging branches on a tree, extending the electric wire with the light bulb, extending the hook below the support wire to the ground, and fixing it to the ground with an anchor or the like, the present invention can be used as illumination only.

[0016]

As described above, the lighting device for both hanging and branching of the present invention has the following effects because it is configured to have both the hanging of a tree and the lighting. It creates an attractive night view of the city that can express not only the flat lighting of the brightness but also the contrast between the yin and the yang without compromising the landscape, and has the effect of making winter life more comfortable. It will delight the eyes of many tourists as well as the citizens of the city.

Even a layman can easily set up a valuable tree without damaging it. Even if the height of trees and the spread of branches are large,
Can respond widely. It protects trees and adds lighting to them, as in the conventional method, where beautiful scenery and branch hanging match. In addition, only a small amount of rope, which has been used in large quantities in the past, can be used.

Since the lamp is illuminated near the tree, the wattage of the lamp may be small, which is energy saving, and the light of the illumination does not cause a traffic injury to a driver of a car traveling nearby due to poor visibility. Since it is not illuminated from the ground toward the top, it is convenient for those who are observing stars and the like in the night sky. In addition, since the amount of light is small for wild birds, they are not confused. The above effects can be obtained.
