Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a lighting device for a mirror panel, and more particularly to a lighting device that can fix a socket with a single fitting.

[Conventional technology]

The mirror panel installed above the washbasin in the washroom, as shown in the front view in Figure 5, has a mirror vertically attached inside a rectangular frame when viewed from the front, and a lighting device is installed in the upper front part of the frame. is attached. The lighting device has a fitting hole formed in the upper front part of the frame, into which a socket is fitted and fixed by screws or the like.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Conventionally, mirror panels such as those described above have been formed of styrene resin material by molding, and the thickness of the frame body is at most 3 mm.

If a fitting hole is formed in this thin frame and a socket is fitted and fixed by screwing, it is necessary to form a screw hole in the frame, which increases the cost. In addition, the assembly cost became high due to the cost of screws for screw fixing and the loss of time for screw fixing work.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was developed with the aim of solving the above-mentioned problems and providing a mirror panel lighting device that is low in production cost and easy to assemble. In the plastic mirror panel formed with the above, a fitting tube is integrally formed perpendicularly to the mounting plate of the lighting mounting part, and the fitting tube has an appropriate number of steadying parts and stoppers on the inner peripheral surface of the tube hole. A separate socket mounting body is formed into a cylindrical shape with a bottom and a socket is installed inside the socket mounting body, and the socket mounting body has a vibration shape that is sized and shaped to fit into the vibration rest part when it is fitted inside the fitting pipe. A stopper is formed, and a stopper is provided protrudingly at a position where it engages with the stopper, and a socket mounting body with the socket inside is inserted into the fitting pipe to provide a steady stop for both the mounting body and the fitting pipe. 1. An illumination device for a mirror panel, characterized in that the socket mounting body and the fitting tube are fitted together and the stoppers of both the socket mounting body and the fitting tube are engaged and fixed to prevent the socket mounting body from being pulled out and rotated.

It was configured as

[Effect]

In the present invention having the above structure, the socket is fitted into the socket mounting body and fixed together. The fixing method is by screwing or gluing. If the socket is made of plastic rather than ceramic, the socket and socket mounting body can be molded as one piece.
When the socket mounting body with the socket fitted therein is inserted into the fitting tube of the lighting mounting plate, and both steady rest parts are fitted and pushed in, both stoppers are engaged. Therefore, the socket attachment body does not pull out from the fitting tube, does not rotate, and can be fixed simply by pushing it in.

is a mirror.

Two fitting tubes 11 and 12 are formed on the mounting plate 8a of the illumination mounting portion 8 at appropriate intervals in the lateral direction and are perpendicular to the mounting plate 8a and integral with the mounting plate.

FIG. 1 shows the illumination device taken along the line AA in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the fitting tubes 11 and 12 have four groove-shaped steadying portions 13, 14, 15, and 16 on the inner peripheral surfaces of the fitting holes 11a and 12a when viewed from the front.
is carved toward the longitudinal direction of the center line P of the fitting hole 12a. Therefore, each groove-shaped steady rest part 13 to 16
There is a weir-like stopper 13 at the rear end when viewed from the front.
a, 14a, 15a, and 16a are provided in a protruding manner.

A socket mounting body 17 is fitted into the fitting tube 12. The socket mounting body 17 is formed into a substantially bottomed cylindrical body, and FIG. 1 shows a cross section taken along the line A-A in FIG. 6, FIG. 3 shows a side view, and FIG. The fitting tube 11 part in the BB cross section is shown.

The socket mounting body 17 is formed into a cylindrical shape so as to cover the socket 28, and has notches 18 and 19 formed by cutting out the majority portions of both side walls near the bottom. As shown, two mounting screw holes 21 and 22 are formed at the top and bottom in the figure.

Furthermore, a protruding body is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the opening of the socket mounting body 17 at a portion that faces the groove-shaped steady rests 13 to 16 when the socket mounting body 17 is fitted into the fitting pipes 11 and 12. Steady rest parts 23, 24, 25, 2
6 is provided in a protruding manner with a size that fits into the groove-shaped steady rest parts 13 to 16. Those projecting steady rest parts 23 to 26
Among them, the stoppers 13a, 15 are connected from the base ends (right side in the figure) of the upper and lower steady rest parts 23, 24 in FIG.
Attach the socket mounting body 17 with a space that allows the fitting of a.
Stoppers 23a, 24a are provided protruding from the circumferential surface, and the stoppers 23a, 24a are formed in a tapered shape with the bottom 20 direction of the mounting body 17 being lowered.

A flange 2 is attached to the opening end surface of the socket mounting body 17.
The socket 28 is inserted into the mounting body 17 through the opening, and as shown in FIG. 22 to fix the socket 28 to the socket mounting body 17.
The reference numeral 31 in FIG.
is formed for the entry and exit of the cord 31.

As mentioned above, the connection between the socket 28 and the socket mounting body 17 is extremely simple with only two screws 29 and 30, and there is no risk of damage.

Thus, with the socket 28 fitted inside, the socket mounting body 17 is inserted into the fitting pipes 11 and 12 so that the projecting steady rest parts 23 to 26 fit into the groove shaped steady rest parts 13 to 16. Insert the flange 27 into the fitting tube 1.
1, 12 until they touch the opening end surfaces, the stoppers 13a, 15a of the fitting tubes 11, 12 slide on the tapered surfaces of the stoppers 23a, 24a of the socket mounting body 17, and the front ends of the stoppers 23a, 24a and the projecting body As a result, the socket fitting 17 cannot be removed from the fitting tubes 11, 12, and the projecting steady rests 23 to 26 are Since it is fitted into the groove-shaped steady rest parts 13 to 16, it is fixed without rotating. In this manner, the socket mounting body 17 can be securely and quickly fixed by simply inserting and pushing into the fitting tubes 11 and 12 with the socket 28 fitted therein.

A light bulb 32 is tightly screwed into the socket 28, and even if the tightly screwed light bulb 32 is turned with strong force, the socket mounting body 17 does not rotate and the fitting tubes 11, 1 do not rotate.
There's no getting out of 2.

The present invention is not limited to the above configuration.
Since the socket is exemplified as being made of ceramic, if it is to be made of plastic, it can be molded into a shape integral with the socket mounting body. In that case, socket shall be read as a receptacle into which the base of a light bulb is screwed.

Since the groove-like steady rest portion and the protruding steady rest portion are in a male/female pair relationship, they can be positioned completely opposite to the above example. Moreover, the fitting tube can be made long and have a bottom.

〔effect〕

The present invention has the following excellent effects.

(A) The socket is simply screwed onto the socket mounting body, so the work is easy and it can be firmly fixed.

(B) The socket mounting body can be fixed by simply pushing it into the fitting tube formed on the mounting plate of the lighting mounting section, so the work efficiency of assembly and installation can be significantly improved, reducing work costs. can be achieved.

(C) The socket mounting body and fitting tube are fitted with the steady rest parts, so even if you screw the light bulb into the socket and apply force, or forcefully turn the light bulb to remove it, the socket mounting body will not close. does not rotate.
