Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a lighting fixture equipped with an insulating stand.

If waterproof lighting equipment is installed in a humid place such as a bathroom or in a place exposed to rainwater such as outdoors, and if the installation surface of the lighting equipment is made of glass-covered mortar or metal plate, the lighting equipment is generally First, a wooden stand is attached to the mounting surface using wood screws, and then the lighting equipment is attached to the wooden stand while insulating it from the mounting surface. This is to prevent the current from flowing through the entire building through the mounting surface of the lighting equipment and causing accidents such as fire if the lighting equipment short-circuits due to some accident and current leaks. be. Conventionally, when installing on this type of mounting surface, commercially available wooden stands or wooden stands made to match the shape of the lighting equipment mounting stand have been used, but these have the following drawbacks. . In the case of the former, commercially available wooden stands, the shape and material of the lighting equipment mounting stand and the wooden stand are different, so no matter how smart the lighting equipment is, when it is attached to a wooden stand, it looks unsightly when installed in this state. Become. In addition, the wooden stand itself was made of wood and would crack and deform after long periods of use, raising concerns from a safety standpoint. Furthermore, the latter method, which is made to match the shape of the lighting fixture's mounting base, has the disadvantage that it is difficult and expensive to manufacture the wooden base if the shape of the lighting fixture's mounting base is complex.

This invention aims to eliminate the conventional drawbacks as mentioned above.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a glove of the lighting device, which is made of transparent synthetic resin or glass, and is removably screwed onto the main body 3 of the lighting device with a waterproof packing 2 in between. The main body 3 is integrally formed with a glove receiving part 7 through an arm 5 provided approximately at the center of the mounting base 4, and a socket 8 is fixed to the center inside of this receiving part 7.
A light bulb 17 is removably attached to the. A plurality of instrument mounting holes 9 are provided in the flat part 6 of the mounting base 4 and are large enough to allow the legs of the instrument mounting screws 10 to pass through and to lock the heads thereof. Reference numeral 11 denotes an insulating stand, which is the main part of this invention, and is made of electrically insulating material such as synthetic resin.
A plurality of insulating stand mounting holes 14 are provided with a size that allows the legs to pass through and the head to be locked, and the counterbore holes 12 protrude toward the mounting surface. In addition, insulation stand 1
1 includes a screw hole 15 for mounting a lighting fixture at a position and size in which the fixture mounting screw 10 is screwed, and at a position that does not overlap with the insulating stand mounting hole 14.
is formed. In addition, the instrument mounting screw 10
The bottom of the screw hole 15 is made of an insulating material so that the screw hole 15 does not come into electrical contact with the mounting surface of the building when it is screwed into the screw hole 15. Further, 16 is waterproof packing, which is sandwiched between the mounting base 4 and the insulating base 11 to prevent rainwater from entering.

The lighting equipment consists of the following parts: First, the insulating stand 1
The insulating stand 11 is fixed to the mounting surface of the building by passing the legs of the wood screws 13 through the insulating stand mounting holes 14 provided at the bottom of the counterbore holes 12 of 1. Next, a waterproof packing 16 is sandwiched between the insulating stand 11 and the lighting fixture mounting base 4, and the power wire of the lighting fixture and the power wire led out from the building (both not shown) are connected, and the fixture mounting screws 10 are connected. By passing the leg portion of the device through the instrument mounting hole 9 of the mounting base 4 and screwing it into the screw hole 15,
The lighting fixture is fixed to an insulating stand 11 fixed to the mounting surface of the building while compressing the waterproof packing 16.

Since the lighting fixture of this invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

(i) Previously, wooden stands with slightly different shapes and materials made the appearance of the lighting equipment extremely unsightly, but with this invention, the insulating stand and the lighting equipment can be matched in design. Therefore, the appearance in the installed state can be improved.

(ii) Conventional wooden stands were made of wood, which caused discoloration and cracking, but the insulating stand of this invention is made from insulating materials such as synthetic resin, so it can be used for a long time. No discoloration or cracking will occur.

(iii) The protruding part of the counterbore acts as a reinforcing rib,
The strength of the insulating base is improved, and the function of the gasket can be ensured without damaging the gasket due to the screws passing through the insulating mounting base.
