Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to improvements in built-in auxiliary light sources in outdoor lighting devices, particularly porch lights.

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, lighting devices used for porch lights, etc.
Since it is used outdoors, a single light source is housed within the globe to provide illumination, and the upper part of the globe is supported by a support for attachment to a roof or the like.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above conventional lighting system uses only one light source, resulting in monotonous lighting, and cannot create a highly decorative and varied atmosphere. In order to make this happen, more fitting parts are required since the glove is supported at the upper part, which increases the cost.

Therefore, the present invention is an improvement on the above-mentioned conventional lamps, and aims to reduce costs and at the same time provide variable illumination by utilizing the structure unique to porch lamps.

(Means for solving the problem) For this purpose, a large number of auxiliary light sources are arranged on the back of the upper fixing plate of the support column that supports the globe, and
A large number of auxiliary light sources are arranged on the upper surface of a lower fixing plate that supports the main light source housed in the globe, the above-mentioned pillar and lower fixing plate are fixed to a support base, and a switch is provided inside the support base to enable selection of lighting of the light sources. That's what happens.

(Function) Since it is configured as above, the upper fixing plate that supports the globe and the lower fixing plate that is the supporting part of the main light source are placed in the upper and lower parts that are effective as the illumination position of the auxiliary light source with respect to the main light source of the porch light. An auxiliary light source can be mounted using a board, eliminating the need for special mounting parts and reducing costs. At the same time, the auxiliary light source is located at a position that does not harm the main light source's illumination and aesthetics, providing variable illumination. In addition, the overall assembly can be simplified.

(Example) This invention will be described with reference to an example shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a globe, and a light bulb 3, which is fitted and placed on the main body 2 of the device, and which is located inside the globe 1 and serves as a main light source, is located in a socket 8. This socket 8
is fitted into a support hole 7 provided in a lower fixing plate 6 on which a miniature ball 4 serving as an auxiliary power source is mounted and fixed. The support column 12 has a lower end threaded portion 18 inserted into the threaded hole 16 of the support base 9.
The upper end threaded part 18 protrudes from the top of the globe 1 and connects to the threaded part 1 through the fixing washer 14.
Screw together with 5. On the other hand, the globe 1 placed on the upper fixing plate 5 which fixes the miniature bulb 4 serving as the auxiliary light source to the back surface thereof is clamped and fixed between the fixing washer 14 and the upper fixing plate 5. Normally, a porch light has a roof or the like attached above the globe, so it is attached above the globe using a support via an upper fixing plate.

The support stand 9 is fixed to the bottom surface of the main body 2 with screws, and accommodates a switch block 10 fixed to the central portion with screws. Power input terminal block 11
is provided within the device main body 2 and connected to an external power source. 17 indicates an electric wire. As the switch block 10, it is possible to use one that selectively blinks the main light source and the auxiliary light source, such as a 1 and 2 switch block.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the switch 10 and the terminal block 11 are fixed in the device main body 2, and the support stand 9 is provided so as to cover the switch 10, and the screws on the support stand 9 are fixed. Post 12 in hole 16
At the same time, a lower fixing plate 6 is placed on a support base 9, and a large number of miniature balls 4 (these miniature balls can be colored red or blue, etc., if necessary) are mounted on the lower fixing plate 6. ) and wire it in such a way that you can selectively turn on the entire light or flash only a part of it. A socket 8 into which a light bulb 3 serving as a main light source is fitted is inserted and fixed into a support hole 7 in the center of the lower fixing plate 6.

The central part of the pillar 12 is curved outward so as not to collide with the main light source, and an upper fixing plate 5 is provided at the top.
A large number of miniature balls 4 are appropriately arranged on the lower surface of this upper fixing plate 5, and these miniature balls 4 are also equipped with a large number of miniature balls 4 (which can be colored if necessary) in the same way as the lower fixing plate 6. It is something that will happen.

Therefore, if the switch 10 is turned on after power is applied through the power terminal block 11, the miniature bulbs provided on the upper and lower fixing plates 5 and 6 are lit, and a different illumination from the light bulb 3, which is the main light source, appears. It can bring about a changing atmosphere, and especially when the main light source is turned off, the auxiliary light sources above and below can illuminate almost the same area as the main light source, and the auxiliary light source at the bottom can illuminate almost the same area as the main light source. 8 can be illuminated from the side to make the whole area clear. Moreover, by adjusting these lights as appropriate with a switch, a variety of lighting can be expected.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, if necessary, miniature bulbs that are auxiliary light sources with a large number of different colors are arranged above and below the light bulb that is the main light source, and the illumination of the main light source and its aesthetic impact are improved. In addition, as a porch light, the upper fixing plate that supports the globe is attached to the necessary support, and the lower fixing plate that fits and supports the main light source is used as a porch light. It has excellent effects such as being easy to assemble without requiring any additional mounting parts and being low cost.
