Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a lighting device for play equipment, and is mainly used to brightly illuminate the surface of the play equipment and to facilitate cleaning of dirt inside the lighting cover. .

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the surface of play equipment installed in a play area has been illuminated by fluorescent lights attached to the ceiling of the play area.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) When illuminating the surface of play equipment with fluorescent lights mounted on the ceiling, there is a distance from the fluorescent lights to the surface of the play equipment, so it is necessary to illuminate the surface of the play equipment sufficiently. In order to provide brighter lighting, the wattage of the fluorescent light that must be installed on the ceiling increases, making the electricity consumption rate relatively high, and you also need to pay extra to purchase a fluorescent light with a higher wattage. . In addition, if the inner surface of the light cover that houses the fluorescent lamp becomes dirty, it is impossible to remove the dirt on the inner surface without removing the light cover, and since the light cover is installed at a high position, There was an inconvenience that cleaning required a lot of effort.

(Means for Solving the Problem) This invention was made to solve the above problem, and the lighting fixture holding member is attached to the back side of the lighting cover holding frame in which the fluorescent light is built in, and is arranged at a predetermined angle in the vertical direction. In a lighting device for a play equipment, which is rotatably held at the same time and has an opening on the lower surface and the back side of the lighting cover holding frame, the lighting equipment holding member is held from the horizontal base end on the back side and from the tip side thereof. A lighting device for a play equipment is formed by a first slope portion that is bent diagonally upward, and a second slope portion that is adjacent to the first slope portion and is further bent diagonally upward.

(Function) When the device according to this invention is installed directly above the play equipment, the fluorescent light will brightly illuminate the surface of the play equipment with the light passing through the opening provided on the bottom of the lighting cover, and the light will brightly illuminate the surface of the play equipment. The soft light that passes through the surface illuminates the patterns drawn on the lighting cover.

In addition, if the inside surface of the lighting cover becomes dirty, insert your hand through the opening on the bottom surface and push upward the lighting fixture holding member held in the lighting position by the arm support piece. Since the fluorescent light is rotated upwards around the attachment points on both sides of the back of the light cover, there are
A space is formed that can be cleaned by hand.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

is a horizontal proximal end portion 9a attached to the flanges 1a ₁ and 1a ₁ on the back side, a first inclined portion 9b bent upward at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the distal end thereof, and a first inclined portion 9b adjacent to the first inclined portion 9b. It is formed from a second inclined part 9c which is further inclined diagonally upward by about 15 degrees from the extension line of the first inclined part 9b, and the second inclined part 9c
A vertical tip portion 9d bent in the vertical direction is formed at the tip portion of the luminaire holding member 9 to provide sufficient strength to the lighting fixture holding member 9. Two sets of lighting tubes 10 and a ballast 11 connected to each fluorescent lamp 6, 6 are symmetrically attached to the upper surface side of the second inclined portion 9c. The lighting fixture holding member 9 is attached via positioning pieces 13, 13 to flanges 1a ₁ , 1a ₁ on the back side of both side walls 1a, 1a by hinges 12, 12 attached to the lower surface of the horizontal base end 9a. and the proximal end surface of the horizontal proximal end portion 9a is aligned with the positioning pieces 13, 13.
It can be rotated to the set position shown by the two-dot chain line, where it contacts the upper end surface of. In addition, fluorescent lamp 6,
6 is indicated by a solid line in FIG. 1 by an L-shaped arm support piece 14 (see FIG. 5) that is fixed to the inner surface of each side wall 1a and supports the lower surfaces of the first inclined portion 9b and the second inclined portion 9c. It is held in the lighting position.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a louver attached to the inside of the lower opening 3. The tip side of the louver 15 is held by the lower front connecting member 1c and the receiver 7, and the rear end side is held by the lower front connecting member 1c. It is pressed by elastic clasps 16 attached to both ends of the member 1d, and the downward light from the fluorescent lamps 6, 6 illuminates the downward direction through a large number of small square openings 17 formed in the louver 15. This louver 15 can enhance the design effect of the lighting device and give a soft feeling to the downward illumination light from the fluorescent lamps 6, 6, but if the installation of the louver 15 is omitted, The illumination light may be directly projected downward from the lower surface side opening 3. Hinges 18 for attaching the lighting device to the wall surface 19 are provided at both lengthwise ends of the coupling member 1b on the upper side of the back surface. Reference numeral 20 denotes an opening formed in the wall surface 19, and this opening 20 is provided in approximately the same size as the rear side opening 4 of the illumination cover holding frame 1. In this embodiment, the lighting device is attached to the hinges 18, 1 attached to the upper coupling member 1b.
Although the lighting device is rotatable upward around the wall 19, the lighting device may be fixedly attached to the wall surface 19.

Since this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, when the lighting device is attached to a play equipment attached to the vertical wall surface 19, for example, near the upper side of a pachinko machine, the front surface of the pachinko machine is exposed to a large number of small openings in the louvers 15. It is brightly illuminated by the soft light that has passed through 17. Furthermore, the light passing through the lighting cover 5 illuminates the patterns drawn on the lighting cover 5, creating a kind of design effect in the room where the play equipment is installed. Furthermore, these effects can be effectively achieved by the fluorescent lights 6, 6 having a small wattage, since the lighting device is much closer to a pachinko machine than when the lighting device is mounted on the ceiling.

Two fluorescent lamps 6, 6 attached to the first inclined part 9b and the second inclined part 9c of the lighting fixture holding member 9
Since there is almost no overlap in both the horizontal and vertical directions, the light from both fluorescent lamps 6, 6 is
To effectively illuminate not only the lower side but also the front side. Moreover, the light traveling backward from the fluorescent lamps 6, 6 is transmitted through the first inclined portion 9b and the second inclined portion 9c of the lighting fixture holding member 9.
The light is reflected by the light and illuminates the downward and forward directions, respectively, so the illumination effect of the lighting device is significantly improved. For this reason, the wattage of the fluorescent lamp is lower when illuminating the surface of the play equipment at a constant brightness, which not only lowers the electricity consumption rate but also reduces the cost of purchasing the fluorescent lamp. can.

Furthermore, if the inner surface of the illumination cover 5 that houses the fluorescent lamps 6, 6 becomes dirty, insert your hand through the opening 3 on the lower side of the illumination cover holding frame 1. When pushed in the direction indicated by arrow P, the louver 15, which is removably attached by the elastic clasp 16, tilts diagonally as shown by the two-dot chain line. Take it out.

Next, when a hand is inserted through the lower side opening 3 and the lighting fixture holding member 9 is rotated around the hinges 12, 12 through the fluorescent lamp 6, the lighting fixture holding member 9 is rotated as shown in FIG. Rotated from the position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line where the proximal end surface of the horizontal proximal end portion 9a contacts the upper surface of the positioning pieces 13, 13,
Due to the action of the rotational moment around the hinges 12, 12, it is held in the position indicated by the two-dot chain line, and a space is formed in which the entire inner surface of the lighting cover 5 can be reached.

Therefore, the inner surface of the lighting cover 5 has a lower opening 3.
It can be cleaned very easily and efficiently by inserting the hand from the inside. Moreover, this cleaning effect can be achieved even more effectively because the lighting device is installed at a lower position than in the conventional case.

To clean the lighting cover 5, remove the louver 15, rotate the lighting device upward by an appropriate angle around the hinges 18,
It may also be carried out by holding it in an inclined state by means of a screw (see FIG. 6).

If the louver 15 is not attached to the lower side of the lighting device, there is no need to remove the louver 15 when cleaning the inner surface of the lighting cover 5, so the amount of effort required to clean the lighting cover 5 is reduced accordingly. It becomes less.

5 and 6 show another embodiment of this invention, in which the arm support piece 14 in the above embodiment is provided with a coupling member 21 that can be connected to the first inclined portion 9b of the lighting fixture holding member 9. This is a case where a hole 22 is provided in the first inclined portion 9b through which a bud-shaped grip portion 21b projecting upward from the arm support piece 14 can pass. The gripping part 21b is provided with a plurality of notches 21c, and when pushed or pulled, the gripping part 21b slides in a through hole (not shown) provided in the gripping part 21b, and the bud-shaped gripping part 21
As shown by the dotted line at b, an operating portion 21a that bulges out larger than the hole 22 is engaged. Therefore, when the operating portion 21a of the coupling member 21 is pulled, the first inclined portion 9b becomes separable from the arm support piece 14 and becomes exactly the same as in the previous embodiment, but the operating portion 21a
1a is pressed and the grip portion 21b is expanded, the first inclined portion 9b is integrally connected to the arm support piece 14 fixed to the side wall 1a via the connecting member 21.

When configured as in this embodiment, when cleaning the inner surface of the lighting cover 5, even if the lighting device is rotated at any angle around the hinges 18 after pressing the coupling member 21, the lighting device holding member 9 is integrally connected with the arm support piece 14 and rotates, and the hinge 12,
Since there is no vibration around the fluorescent lamp 6, the lighting tube 10 which is an accessory for lighting, and the ballast 1.
The inner surface of the illumination cover 5 can be efficiently cleaned while preventing the parts 1 and the like from being damaged by vibration.

(Effect of the invention) In this invention, the lighting fixture holding member is held rotatably by a predetermined angle in the vertical direction on the back side of the lighting cover holding frame that houses the fluorescent lamp, and the lighting fixture holding member is held rotatably by a predetermined angle in the vertical direction. In a lighting device for a play equipment having an opening on the back side, the lighting fixture holding member includes a horizontal base end portion on the back side, a first inclined portion bent diagonally upward from the distal end side, and the first inclined portion.
Since it is formed from a second inclined part adjacent to the inclined part and further bent diagonally upward,
It has the following excellent effects.

(1) Since the lighting device can be installed near the play equipment, the surface of the play equipment can be brightly illuminated by the light from the fluorescent lamp passing through the lower opening of the lighting device. For this reason, the wattage of the fluorescent lamp is lower when illuminating the surface of the play equipment at a constant brightness, which not only lowers the power consumption rate but also reduces the cost of purchasing the fluorescent lamp. can.

(2) The two fluorescent lamps attached to the first and second slopes hardly overlap in both the horizontal and vertical directions, so the light from both fluorescent lamps is transmitted not only from the bottom but also from the front. It also illuminates effectively.

Furthermore, the light that travels backward from the fluorescent lamp is reflected by the first and second inclined parts of the lighting fixture holding member and illuminates the downward and forward areas, respectively, so the lighting effect of the lighting device is significantly improved. .

(3) If the inside surface of the lighting cover becomes dirty, insert your hand through the opening on the bottom side of the lighting device and rotate the lighting fixture holding member held in the lighting position by the arm support piece upwards. Since there is space to reach the entire inner surface of the cover, the inner surface of the lighting cover can be cleaned very easily and efficiently.
