Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a socket device for a lighting fixture.

(Prior Art) For example, a built-in lighting fixture is constructed by using a box-shaped fixture body, installing a reflector inside the body, and attaching a socket to the side wall. However, since this socket protrudes inwardly from the side wall, with this socket attached, when inserting or removing the reflector from the main body of the device, this socket may get in the way and prevent you from inserting or removing it. be.

Therefore, in the past, the socket was removed from and attached to the side wall of the device body each time the reflector was inserted or removed. However, such work is extremely troublesome, and the structure must be designed to be removable, which has the disadvantage of making the structure complex.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) The purpose of this invention is to make it possible to remove and install the socket from the place where the reflector passes through with a simple operation when removing the reflector. .

(Means for solving the problem) This invention consists of a base frame fixed to the side wall of the device body and a support frame that supports the socket.
The base end of the support frame is rotatably supported using the distal end of the base frame as a fulcrum, and in the upright state, the back surface of the support frame abuts the distal end of the base frame and cannot be rotated beyond a predetermined angle. It is characterized by being held like this.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a base frame, which includes a central wall 2 and side walls 3 that extend on both sides of the central wall 2.
and a hem portion 4 extending left and right from this side wall 3. The tip 1A of the base frame 1 is slightly shorter than the side wall 3. The base frame 1 is supported by fixing the skirt portion 4 to the inner surface of the side wall of the instrument body.

The side wall 3 has a substantially triangular hole 5 formed at its leading end, and a substantially triangular hole 6 formed at its rear end. And both holes 5.6
are communicated by a narrow groove 7. Further, a slit 8 is provided in the hem portion 4 so as to be continuous with the hole portion 6. Separately, a protrusion 9 is formed on the side wall 3 so as to be pushed inward from the outside.

10 is a support frame that fixedly supports the socket 11;
A tongue portion 12 is provided on the outside of the base end 10A of this support frame 10.
The tongue portion 12 is provided with a claw portion 13 which is formed by cutting and bending so as to face outward, and a hole portion 14 into which the protrusion portion 9 can fit. The claw portions 13 are rotatable within the holes 5 and 6 of the base frame 1, and the claw portions 13, which are oriented laterally, fit into the narrow grooves 7.
It is said that it is possible to pass through it freely.

In FIG. 1, the support frame 10 is shown standing up with respect to the base frame 1, and in this state, the claws 13 stand up inside the holes 5. Further, the protrusion 9 is fitted into the hole 14. In this upright state, the back surface of the support frame 10 is in contact with the tip 1A of the base frame 1.

Therefore, when the socket 11 supports a fluorescent lamp, even if an external force acts on the support frame 10 in a direction that causes it to tilt about its base end 10A, the tilting movement is restrained. That is, the support frame 10 is the base frame 1
This allows it to be supported in an upright position.

When it is necessary to remove the support frame 10 from the reflection plate insertion path, the support frame 10 can be tilted down using its base end 10A as a fulcrum as shown in FIG. 2. At the beginning, it is necessary to tilt the protrusion 9 to the extent that it can escape from the hole 14, but once it escapes, it rotates smoothly.

When the support frame 10 falls down in this way, the support frame 10 comes to align with the side wall of the device body and is removed from the exit path of the reflector, so that the reflector can be attached to the device body without being obstructed by the socket. will be disbanded.

In order to separate the base frame 1 and the support frame 10, a second
From the state shown in the figure, the claw portion 13 is slid within the narrow groove 7, and the claw portion 13 is moved into the hole portion 6 as shown in FIG. Here, the support frame 10 is rotated so that its leading end faces downward. This rotation causes the claw portion 13 to align in the vertical direction. Here, the claw portion 13 may be passed through the slit 8 and escaped from there.

To join the base frame 1 and the support frame 10, the operations may be performed in the reverse order. Such detachment and connection are performed with the base frame 1 not attached to the instrument body, but the fact that detachment and connection are possible in this way means that both can be manufactured separately. This also means that no tools are required to connect or disconnect them.

In the illustrated embodiment, the narrow groove 7 that communicates with the hole 5.6 is made long, but this is because the base frame 1 is made long, and if it were made short, it would be thin. The groove 7 may also be sufficiently short. In this case, the support frame 10 hardly slides and moves relative to the base frame 1.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, according to this invention, the socket can be easily raised and lowered, and the configuration for this purpose is extremely simple as it only requires a base frame and a support frame. The advantage is that each can be manufactured separately.
