Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify an installing operation, improve a design and enable a cost reduction to be attained by a method wherein a main body is provided with both lighting air port and an air conditioning air inlet so as to be integrally formed. CONSTITUTION:An instrument 1 has a main body of substantial box-like shape with its lower surface being opened. Its top plate is provided with two pairs of sockets 3 for fluorescent lamps 7 and a central slit-like air conditioning air inlet 5. A rear surface of the air inlet 5 may act as a chimney-like joint part 6 connected to a duct 8. The instrument 1 is supported at a main bar 10 by four fixing pieces 2 fixed at four locations of the side part. With such an arrangement, a troublesome operation such as a ceiling scaling or an opening reinforcing or the like can be carried out only for the instrument 1, resulting in providing a substantial energy-saving. In addition, since the exclusive air inlet for the air conditioning is not needed, the ceiling is made clear in view of its design and its cost down can be assured.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a lighting/air conditioning complex appliance that combines lighting attached to the ceiling of a building and an air conditioning vent.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, lighting equipment and air conditioning equipment have been installed separately on the ceiling.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventionally, lighting equipment and air conditioning equipment were separate (separate),
Ceiling marking, opening reinforcement, etc. had to be done for each fixture, making installation work complicated, and many fixtures were visible on the ceiling, which was undesirable from a design standpoint.

The present invention was made to solve these problems and reduce costs by combining instruments.
be.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a lighting/air conditioning composite appliance characterized by having a lighting socket and an air conditioning air vent. The lighting is usually a fluorescent light, but it may also be a light bulb or other type of light.

The shape of the main body conforms to the shape of conventional lighting equipment, such as a plate shape or a substantially box shape. The air vents for air conditioning are similar to the air vents of conventional air conditioners, such as slit shapes. The air vent is connected to the duct by known means.

(Function) The appliance of the present invention has both lighting and air conditioning vents integrated into the main body, so when installing the appliance, complicated work such as marking out the ceiling and reinforcing the opening, which was conventionally done separately, can be avoided. , it is only necessary to carry out the process for the instrument of the present invention, resulting in significant labor savings. Furthermore, if the appliance of the present invention is used, there is no need for conventional air vents dedicated to air conditioning, so the design of the ceiling can be streamlined and costs can be reduced.

(Example) The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention in use, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of section A in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view taken in a direction perpendicular to FIG. 1.

The device 1 of this embodiment was filed in Japanese Patent Application No. 63-31615 by the applicant.
It is used for the ceiling proposed in No. 5. This ceiling is formed by inverted T-shaped portions 10 of the main bar 10 that are engaged with the support bar (commonly known as Sea Chan) 11 at predetermined intervals by clips (not shown).
Both ends of the ceiling board 12 made of glass wool are supported by a.

The appliance 1 has a substantially box-shaped main body with an open bottom, and a top plate thereof is provided with sockets 3 for two pairs of fluorescent lamps 7 and a slit-shaped air-conditioning air port 5 in the center. The back side of the air port 5 is a chimney-shaped joint portion 6 for connecting to a duct 8. There are storage boxes 4 on both sides of the socket 3, in which necessary condensers, glow lamps, wiring, etc. are stored. 4a is a lid that can be opened and closed by a hinge, 4
b is a hole for wiring.

As shown in FIG. 2, the instrument 1 is supported on the main par 10 by mounting pieces 2 attached at four locations on the side. The elasticity of the bent end 2a at the upper end of the attachment piece 1O allows it to be easily fitted into the main par. Instead of using the attachment piece 2, it is also possible to give the sides of the device a similar cross-sectional shape.

The arrangement and number of sockets 3 and the arrangement and number of air vents 5 are not limited to this embodiment, and may be freely selected, and other lighting methods may be used instead of fluorescent lamps. The storage box 4 may not always be necessary. The air port 5 may be an intake port or an air outlet. In addition, this example can be used for the above-mentioned ceiling, and in particular,
It has many advantages such as being quick to install and does not require special reinforcement (although it is suitable, it can of course be used on ceilings of other structures, and direct mounting is not the method shown in the drawing). In addition, it is possible to cover the lighting part with a cover in the same way as with conventional lighting equipment.

(Effects of the Invention) By using the composite appliance of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of appliances to be attached to the ceiling, so it can be implemented quickly and costs can be reduced. In addition, it has become possible to create a clean ceiling design.
