Abstract

PURPOSE:To securely hold an arm in one's hand without being inconvenienced through a cord so as to smoothly make lighting equipment portable, by utilizing each of recesses formed in the middle portion of both-side leg piece sections of a supporting arm to wind a surplus portion of the cord thereround. CONSTITUTION:Each of the middle portions of both-side leg piece sections 4 of a supporting arm 3 is formed with arecess 5 round which the surplus portion of a cord 2 is wound. The cord 2 is accordingly wound round the supporting arm 3 without bulking large. Each recess 5 is formed in each of the middle portions of the leg sections 4, while a vacancy 6 for holding the top 17 of the supporting arm 3 in one's hand is formed between the top 17 of the supporting arm 3 and the cord 2 wound round each recess 5. Thus, this vacancy 6 enables the top 17 of the supporting arm 3 to be securely held in one's hand for smoothly making lighting equipment portable.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a lighting fixture equipped with a cord winding R structure.

(Prior art) For example, work lighting equipment including HID lamps, etc.
Approximately U-shaped support arms are provided on both sides of the device body, and by providing means for attaching flangs, vices, tripods, etc. to these arms, the lighting device can be installed in a work place etc. via this means. I have to. On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure that the cord led out from the fixture body does not get in the way when storing and transporting the lighting fixture, and the excess cord is usually folded up.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, there is a problem in that the cord becomes a hindrance when carrying the lighting equipment, and also easily gets damaged by being stepped on, etc., even when the lighting equipment is stored.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a lighting device that can be rolled up without adding bulk to the excess cord, can be carried smoothly, and is equipped with a simple cord winding mechanism. shall be.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides for a device main body to rotate when the substantially U-shaped support arm that supports the device main body rotates at the intermediate portion of both side leg pieces. A recess for winding the excess portion of the cord is provided at a position such that a gap is formed between the wound cord and the top of the support arm to grasp the top of the cord without being obstructed. It is characterized by

(Function) Since the recesses provided in the middle of the leg pieces on both sides of the support arm are used to wrap the excess cord, the cord does not get in the way, and when the cord is wound, the cord does not overlap. Since a gap for gripping the arm top is formed between the arm and the arm top, the arm can be reliably gripped by hand, and the lighting device can be carried smoothly.

<Example) Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

1 is the instrument body from which the cord 2 is derived, 3 is the support arm,
This support arm 3 is bent at both sides to form leg portions 4, and is pivotally attached to both side surfaces of the instrument body 1. Further, the support arm 3 is provided with a recess 5 in the middle of the leg portions 4 on both sides, around which the excess portion of the cord 2 is wound. This concave portion 5 is such that when the support arm 3 is rotated relative to the instrument body 1, the rotation is not prevented by the instrument body 1, and the cord 2
The cord 2 is provided at a position such that a gap 6 is formed between the cord 2 and the top of the support arm 3 to grip the top when the cord 2 is wound.

Next, to explain the above embodiment in more detail, the instrument main body 1 is provided with a translucent cover 10 on the front part, and inside,
A reflector 11 and a rung 12 facing the reflector 11.
is attached. A decorative screw 14 is provided on the pivot portion 13 to which the leg portion 4 of the support arm 3 is pivotally attached. In addition, although not shown in the appliance main body 1, a lighting device such as a ballast,
In this embodiment, in which a lamp socket or the like is housed, an uneven surface 15 is formed on the upper surface of the appliance body 1, thereby increasing the surface area and enhancing the heat dissipation effect.

Further, 16 is a mounting hole provided in the top portion 17 of the support arm 3.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. A recess 5 is formed in the middle part of both side leg pieces 4 of the support arm 3, and the surplus part of the cord 2 is wound around the recess 5. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the cord 2 is wound around the support arm 3 without any bulk. The recessed part 5 is provided in the middle part of the leg part 4,
A gap 6 is formed between the top 17 of the support arm 3 and the cord 2 wound around the recess 5 for gripping the top of the support arm 3. Therefore, since the top portion 17 of the support arm 3 can be reliably gripped by the space 6, the lighting device can be carried smoothly.

In use, the mounting hole 16 in the top part 17 is attached to the support arm 3.
By attaching a vise 20 as shown in FIG. 3 using a vise 20, the lighting fixture is installed at an appropriate location via this vise 20. For installation, in addition to the vise 20, there are bases and tripods that can be installed on the floor, ground, etc., depending on the purpose, such as wall lighting or plaza lighting.

It may be a ball or the like, and these may be fixed to the support arm 3.

In addition, if it is for outdoor use, insert a packing etc.
It is necessary to have a waterproof structure.

When the lighting equipment is installed, the angle can be adjusted by loosening the cosmetic screw 14 at the pivot joint 13 of the arm, adjusting the angle of the equipment body, and then tightening the screw 14.The fourth part 5 is the support arm. 3 relative to the instrument body 1, it is provided in a position where the rotation is not obstructed by the instrument body 1, so that the rotation can be performed smoothly.

To connect the cord 2 to the power source, after the lighting fixture has been placed 8 times, the excess portion of the cord 2 wound around the recess 5 is unwound, and the plug 19 is connected to an outlet (not shown). Alternatively, the cord 2 is untied from the recess 5 before installing the lighting equipment, and then the lighting equipment is installed and the plug 19 of the cord is connected to the outlet.

When removing and putting away the lighting equipment, loosen the vise 20 and remove the lighting equipment from the installation location such as the frame, remove the glove 19 from the outlet, and wrap the excess portion around the recess 5 of the support arm 3. As described above, the support arm 3 is firmly grasped by the hand inserted into the cavity 18, and the luminaire is transported to a storage location and stored. The lighting fixture can be carried by gripping the support arm 3 when the attachment means such as the vise 20 is small, or when the attachment means is removed from the support arm 3. When storing, please use Kodo 2.
Since the winding part is not bulky, multiple lighting fixtures can be lined up closely together, saving storage space.

Since the cord winding mechanism is formed simply by forming the recess 5 in the arm 3, the structure is simple.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, the present invention provides an approximately U-shaped structure that supports the instrument body.
In the middle of the leg portions on both sides of the letter-shaped support arm, there is a gap between the wound cord and the top of the support arm for gripping the top of the support arm without being obstructed by the instrument body. Since a recess for winding the excess portion of the cord is provided at the position where the cord is formed, the cord can be smoothly wound around the support arm without getting in the way, and the top of the arm can be securely gripped. , the lighting equipment can be carried smoothly. Furthermore, when storing multiple instruments at once, the instruments can be stored in close contact with each other, saving storage space.Furthermore, since the cord winding R structure is simply provided with a recess in the arm, the elliptical It is simple and inexpensive.
