Description

【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、流し元灯照明器具に関し、特に、ランプの前面側に透光カバーを有してなる流し元灯照明器具に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
図４は、従来の流し元灯照明器具を示すもので、この流し元灯照明器具は、長尺のランプ１である蛍光ランプが収納されてなり、壁面、または棚下等に取り付けられて使用されるもので、主に器具本体２と、透光カバー３、エンドカバー４、及びランプ１を点灯させるための電気部品５であるソケット５ａや、安定器５ｂ、スイッチ５ｃ、スタータ５ｄ、及び端子台５ｅを有して構成されている。
【０００３】
器具本体２は、長尺で略平板状の底板２ａの短尺方向の両端に、同じ側に向かって立設された側壁２ｂを有して断面が略コ字状であって長尺方向の両端が開口するように形成されている。そして、底板２ａ上であって対向する側壁２ｂの略中央部には、取付面側に向かって突出する小径の取付部（図示せず）が設けられ、この取付部を取付面に当接させて、木ねじ等により壁面、または棚下等に取り付けられるようにされている。また、その底板２ａには、長尺方向の両端近傍に蛍光ランプ１を保持する電気部品５である一対のソケット５ａが固着されると共に、それらの間には電気部品５である安定器５ｂやスイッチ５ｃ、スタータ５ｄ、及び端子台５ｅ等が配設され、リード線によりそれらの間が電気的に接続されている。
【０００４】
透光カバー３は、アクリル等の透光性樹脂により略樋状に形成されてなり、器具本体２の前面側である側壁２ｂの先端側から蛍光ランプ１及び電気部品５を覆うように装着されるもので、その略樋状に開口した先端には、器具本体２の側壁２ｂの先端が挿入される溝３ａが形成されている。
【０００５】
エンドカバー４は、不透光性の樹脂により形成されてなり、器具本体２と、その器具本体２の側壁２ｂの先端に溝３ａを係合させて装着された透光カバー３とを、その長尺方向の両端側から嵌め込んで、透光カバー３を器具本体２に固定させるものである。
【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述のように構成された従来の流し元灯照明器具においては、透光カバー３を器具本体２に固定するためには、透光カバー３の先端の溝３ａと器具本体２の側壁２ｂの先端を係合させ、その状態を保って、さらにその両端から一対のエンドカバー４を装着する必要があり、部品点数が多く透光カバー３の着脱の作業性が悪いという問題点があった。
【０００７】
また、器具本体２の底板２ａが小径の取付部で木ねじ等により壁面、または棚下等の取付面に直接取り付けられる構造であるために、透光カバー３が横向きとなるように器具本体２を取り付けたときに、取付面と器具本体２の底板２ａとの接触面積が狭く、さらには、取付面が木ねじを締め付けることにより盛り上がることもあって、器具本体２が傾きを生じやすいという問題点もあった。
【０００８】
本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みてなされもので、その目的とするところは、透光カバーの着脱の作業性が良い流し元灯照明器具を提供することにあり、また、別の目的とするところは、透光カバーが横向きとなるように器具本体を取り付けたときに、器具が傾きにくい照明器具を提供することにある。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記の問題点を解決するため、請求項１記載の発明にあっては、長尺のランプ１がソケット５ａを介して保持される器具本体２と、前記ランプ１を覆うように前記器具本体２に装着される透光カバー３とを有してなる流し元灯照明器具において、前記器具本体を、長尺の底板２ａと、その底板２ａの短尺方向の両端から側壁２ｂを立設して形成し、前記透光カバー３を、長尺で断面が略樋状のカバー本体部３ａと、カバー本体部３ａの長尺方向の両端を塞ぐように一体で形成されて先端がカバー本体部３ａの略樋状の先端よりも突出するエンド部３ｂを備えて形成すると共に、前記器具本体２の両端であって前記エンド部３ｂに対向する位置に、該エンド部３ｂと係合して透光カバー３を係止する係止部２ｃを設け、さらに前記器具本体の底板に、断面視にて底板２ａより突出する取付部２ｄを形成すると共に、前記器具本体２に、器具本体２の取付部２ｄに当接し底板２ａと平行に配設される垂直片６ａと、該垂直片６ａの一端に立設されて先端が底板２ａに当接する水平当接片６ｂと、垂直片６ａの他端に水平当接片６ｂと同じ側に垂直片６ａと垂直に立設されて略水平な面を有する取付面に当接して取り付けられる水平片６ｃと、該水平片６ｃの先端から垂直片６ａと同じ側に立設されて先端が器具本体２の側壁２ｂに当接する垂直当接片６ｄとを備えてなる取付部材６を取り付けたことを特徴とするものである。
【００１０】
また、請求項２記載の発明にあっては、請求項１記載の流し元灯照明器具において、前記器具本体２を、長尺の底板２ａと、その底板２ａの短尺方向の両端から側壁２ｂを立設して断面を略コ字状に形成すると共に、前記エンド部３ｂの両側端に、前記器具本体２の側壁２ｂに外側から略当接するガイド片３ｃを立設したことを特徴とするものである。

【００１３】
【作用】
上述のように構成したため本発明は、請求項１記載の発明にあっては、透光カバー３が、その両端に一体で設けられたエンド部３ｂにより器具本体２に取り付けできて、透光カバー３の取り付ける際に、器具本体２の先端と透光カバー３の溝を嵌め合わせて一対のエンドカバーで固定する必要がなくなり、部品点数が削減されて、透光カバー３が着脱し易くなる。また、器具本体２を水平な面を有する取付面に、透光カバー３を横向きにして取り付ける場合において、水平片６ｃが取付面に当接して水平を確保すると共に、その水平片６ｃと垂直な垂直片６ａに器具本体２の取付部２ｄが当接し、また、水平当接片６ｂの先端が器具本体２の底板２ａに、垂直当接片６ｄの先端が器具本体２の側壁２ｂに当接して、器具本体２の側壁２ｂと水平片６ｃとを平行にし、器具本体２の側壁２ｂが水平に保たれて、透光カバー３が傾きにくくなる。また、取付部材６の水平当接片６ｂ及び垂直当接片６ｄが器具本体２に当接し、取付部２ｄが取付部材６の垂直片６ａに当接すると共に、取付部材６の水平片６ｃが取付面に当接しているため、器具に外力が加わった際にも、器具が振動することが抑制される。
【００１４】
また、請求項２記載の発明にあっては、請求項１記載の流し元灯照明器具の作用に加えて、透光カバー３を器具本体２に装着する際に、ガイド片３ｃが器具本体２を挟むように側壁２ｂの外側から当接して、透光カバー３を適切に器具本体２に装着させるガイドとり、透光カバー３がさらに着脱し易くなる。
【００１５】
また、請求項３記載の発明にあっては、請求項１、または請求項２記載の流し元灯照明器具の作用に加えて、弾性を有する係止部２ｃの側では、透光カバー３を器具本体２に挿入するだけで透光カバー３が装着できて、透光カバー３がさらに着脱し易くなる。
【００１７】
【実施例】
図１乃至図３は、本発明の流し元灯照明器具の一実施例を示すもので、この流し元灯照明器具は、長尺のランプ１である蛍光ランプが収納されてなり、壁面、または棚下等に取り付けられて使用されるものであり、主に、器具本体２と、透光カバー３、電気部品５、及び取付部材６を有して構成されている。
【００１８】
器具本体２は、長尺で略平板状の底板２ａの短尺方向の両端に、同じ側に向かって立設された側壁２ｂと、長尺方向の両端に同じ側に向かって立設された端部壁２ｅとを有して一方に開口した長尺の箱状とされている。そして、その底板２ａの長尺方向に伸びる中心線上には、取付面７側である側壁２ｂの突出側と反対側に向かって突出する少なくとも一対の小径の取付部２ｄが形成されており、器具本体２は、その取付部２ｄを取付面７に当接させて、木ねじ等により壁面、または棚下等に取り付けることもできるようにされている。
【００１９】
また、その底板２ａには、長尺方向の両端の端部壁２ｅ近傍に蛍光ランプ１を保持する電気部品５である一対のソケット５ａが固着されると共に、それらの間には電気部品５である安定器５ｂや引き紐５ｆを備えたスイッチ５ｃ、スタータ５ｄ、及び端子台５ｅ等が配設され、リード線によりそれらの間の配線がされている。また、端部壁２ｅの外面には、Ｃ字状、またはく字状の断面を有する板ばねが、器具本体２の長尺方向であって器具本体２の外方に付勢されてに弾性を有する係止部２ｃとして設けられ、係止部２ｃは、その弾性により器具本体２の長尺方向に変形可能とされている。
【００２０】
透光カバー３は、アクリル等の透光性樹脂からなり、略樋状に形成されたカバー本体部３ａと、その樋状のカバー本体部３ａの両端を塞ぐと共に、その先端が樋状のカバー本体部３ａの開口側先端よりも突出したエンド部３ｂと、そのエンド部３ｂの両側端に略垂直方向に立設されたガイド片３ｃとにより形成されている。
【００２１】
取付部材６は、板金製であって、器具本体２の取付部２ｄに当接し底板２ａと平行に配設される垂直片６ａと、垂直片６ａの一端に立設されて先端が底板２ａに当接する水平当接片６ｂと、垂直片６ａの他端に水平当接片６ｂと同じ側に垂直片６ａと垂直に立設されて略水平な面を有する取付面７に当接して取り付けられる水平片６ｃと、水平片６ｃの先端から垂直片６ａと同じ側に立設されて先端が器具本体２の側壁２ｂに当接する垂直当接片６ｄとを備えて形成されている。また、この取付部材６の垂直片６ａには、器具本体２をねじ止めするためのねじ孔６ｅが、水平片６ｃには、取付面７に取付部材６を木ねじ等で固着するためのねじ挿通孔６ｆが設けられている。
【００２２】
このように構成された流し元照明器具は、棚下等の水平面に透光カバー３を水平方向に向けて取り付ける際には、以下のようにして取り付けられる。まず、一対の取付部材６を、その水平片６ｃを取付面７に当接させて、取付面７に固着する。次に、器具本体２の一方の側壁２ｂを垂直当接片６ｄに当接させ、底板２ａの取付部２ｄの下方に水平当接片６ｂを当接させて、ねじ８により、取付部２ｄが垂直片６ａに当接するように器具本体２を取付部材６に固定する。そして、電気部品５であるソケット５ａに長尺のランプである直管形の蛍光ランプ１を装着させ、透光カバー３を、一対のエンド部３ｂが器具本体２の両端の端部壁２ｅの外側となり、そのガイド片３ｃで器具本体２を上下から挟むように合わせて、器具本体２の側に押し込み、エンド部３ｂが係止部２ｃを弾性変形させて、その弾性により透光カバー３を器具本体２に保持させる。
【００２３】
このように構成されているため、本実施例における流し元灯照明器具においては、透光カバー３が、その両端に一体で設けられたエンド部３ｂにより器具本体２に取り付けできて、透光カバー３の取り付ける際に、器具本体２の先端と透光カバー３の溝を嵌め合わせて一対のエンドカバーで固定する必要がなくなり、部品点数が削減されて、透光カバー３が着脱し易くなる。また、透光カバー３を器具本体２に装着する際に、ガイド片３ｃが器具本体２を挟むように側壁２ｂの外側から当接して、透光カバー３を適切に器具本体２に装着させるガイドとなりさらには、透光カバー３を器具本体２に挿入するだけで係止部２ｃが弾性変形して、透光カバー３がワンタッチで装着できて、透光カバー３が、さらに着脱し易くなる。また、エンド部３ｂが係止部２ｃにより、そのランプ軸方向であって照明器具の外側に押圧されると共に、ガイド辺３ｃが器具本体２の側壁２ｂに外側から略当接して、透光カバー３が不用意に外れる恐れが少なくなる。
【００２４】
また、透光カバー３を水平な面を有する取付面７に、透光カバー３を横向きにして取り付ける場合において、水平片６ｃが取付面７に当接して水平を確保すると共に、その水平片６ｃと垂直な垂直片６ａに器具本体２の取付部２ｄが当接し、また、水平当接片６ｂの先端が器具本体２の底板２ａに、垂直当接片６ｄの先端が器具本体２の側壁２ｂに当接して、器具本体２の側壁２ｂと水平片６ｃとを平行にし、器具本体２の側壁２ｂが水平に保たれて、透光カバー３が傾きにくくなる。さらには、取付部材６の水平当接片６ｂ及び垂直当接片６ｄが器具本体２に当接し、器具本体２の取付部２ｄが取付部材６の垂直片６ａに当接すると共に、取付部２ｄよりも広い面積を有する水平片６ｃが取付面７に当接しているため、電気部品５であるスイッチ５ｃの引き紐５ｆを引いて操作し器具に外力が加わった際に、器具が振動することが抑制される。
【００２５】
また、透光カバー３は光が当たらない部分があると影として目立ち見栄えが良くないが、本実施例における流し元灯照明器具では、透光カバー３のエンド部３ｂは、略樋状のカバー本体部３ａよりも取付面７側に突出しており、器具本体２に装着した状態で、カバー本体部３ａは器具本体２の前面側に位置して、側壁２ｂの側方にはほとんどなく、カバー本体部３ａに蛍光ランプ１からの光による影が出にくく見栄えが良い。
【００２６】
なお、前記実施例においては、器具本体２の両端の端部壁２ｅに設けた係止部２ｃを、それぞれ弾性を有する板ばねとして説明を行ったが、本発明はこれに限らず、係止部が板ばねに限らずどのようなものであっても良く、また、その形状は一方が凸状または爪状であり、他方のみが弾性を有するものであっても良い。さらには、前記実施例においては、取付部材６の水平当接片６ｂの先端及び垂直当接片６ｄの先端が、それぞれ器具本体２の底部２ａ及び側壁２ｂに単に当接するものとして説明を行ったが、それらの先端をさらにわずかに突出させて、器具本体２に取り付けたとき、器具本体２をさらに押圧するように構成すれば、器具の傾き防止、及び振動防止効果がさらに顕著となる。
【００２７】
【発明の効果】
透光カバーが、その両端に一体で設けられたエンド部により器具本体に取り付けできて、透光カバーの取り付ける際に、器具本体の先端と透光カバーを嵌め合わせて一対のエンドカバー等で固定する必要がなくなり、部品点数が削減されて、透光カバーが着脱し易くなる。また、器具本体を水平な面を有する取付面に、透光カバーが横向きになるように取り付ける場合において、水平片が取付面に当接して水平を確保すると共に、その水平片と垂直な垂直片に器具本体の取付部が当接し、さらに、水平当接片の先端が器具本体の底板に、垂直当接片の先端が器具本体の側壁に当接して、器具本体の側壁と水平片とを平行にし、器具本体の側壁が水平に保たれて、透光カバーが傾きにくくなる。さらにまた、取付部材の水平当接片及び垂直当接片が器具本体に当接し、取付部が取付部材の垂直片に当接すると共に、取付部材の水平片が取付面に当接しているため、器具に外力が加わった際に、器具が振動することが抑制される。
【００２８】
また、請求項２記載の発明にあっては、請求項１記載の発明の効果に加えて、透光カバーを器具本体に装着する際に、ガイド片が器具本体を挟むように側壁の外側から当接して、透光カバーを適切に器具本体に装着させるガイドとなって、透光カバーがさらに着脱し易くなる。
【００２９】
また、請求項３記載の発明にあっては、請求項１、または請求項２記載の発明の効果に加えて、弾性を有する係止部の側では、透光カバーを器具本体に挿入するだけで透光カバーが装着できて、透光カバーがさらに着脱し易くなる。
