Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a new and useful switch operating device for a hanging lighting fixture that is suspended by a hanging strip such as a cord.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, hanging lighting equipment has typically had a switch operating device of a drawstring type.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] This is because hanging lighting fixtures are generally located at a height where adults cannot touch their heads even if they walk under them, so they have no choice but to use a drawstring. That's because you don't get it.

On the other hand, the use of hanging lighting fixtures on dining tables has become popular in recent years. In such cases, people do not walk under the lighting equipment, and the lighting equipment is often used at a fairly low position to brighten the dining table, so the drawstring hangs above the dining table.
It was extremely obtrusive and even obtrusive.

The purpose of the present invention is to fundamentally improve the switch operation device with such a usage pattern in mind, and to provide an attractive hanging lighting fixture.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a hanging type lighting fixture that is suspended from a hanging strip pulled out from the top and has a lamp and a light control body at the bottom, in which a shaft is provided protruding from the top of the lighting fixture. At the same time, a hanging strip is passed inside the shaft, and a vertically movable switch operating means that also serves as the upper cover of the lighting equipment is provided around the shaft, and the switch is operated by pressing down the switch operating means. A switch operating device for a lighting equipment is provided below.

Further, the lower end of the switch operation means is guided by the rising wall of the upper end of the light control body.

[Function] According to the present invention, in a hanging type lighting equipment in which a lamp and a light control body are provided at the bottom of the hanging lamp by a hanging strip pulled out from the top, the upper cover of the lighting equipment also serves as a switch operation means. Since the drawstring that is typical of hanging lighting fixtures is no longer required, the lighting fixture looks better and is especially suitable for use at a dining table when the lighting fixture is to be used at a fairly low position.

To make the lamp flash, all you have to do is press down on the switch operating means, and whether the suspension strip is a cord, wire, or chain, these are threaded inside the shaft and should be placed around the shaft. The switch operating means is smoothly guided and the switch is operated.

Further, according to the embodiment, wobbling of the switch operating means can be suppressed.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the drawing, a lamp 18 and a light control body 2 are suspended from a cord-like hanging strip 23 pulled out from the top.
1 shows an example of a hanging type lighting fixture provided with the following.
In such a configuration, there is a shaft 1 at the top of the luminaire.
At the same time, a hanging strip 23 is passed through the inside of the shaft 1, and a vertically movable switch operating means 2, which also serves as the upper cover of the lighting equipment, is provided around the shaft 1. A switch 4 to be operated by the switch is provided below the switch operating means 2.

More specifically, the lower end of the switch operating means 2 is guided by a rising wall 22 at the upper end of the light control body 21. An intervening means 3 is provided around the shaft 1 between the switch operating means 2 and the switch 4, and the switch 4 is located below one side of the intervening means 3. The intervening means 3 and the switch operating means 2 are supplementally urged upward by an elastic member 5 made of a coil spring. A claw 8 of a stopper 7 is engaged with the hole 6 in the upper part of the shaft 1. The lower end of the shaft 1 is attached to the sub-chassis 9 by caulking or the like, and the switch 4 is also attached to the sub-chassis 9 at a side notch 10 with screws or the like. The sub-chassis 9 is attached to the chassis 11 with screws or the like, and a stabilizer 12 is attached to the upper surface of the chassis 11. A socket support 14 having a threaded portion 13 on the outside is attached to the bottom surface of the chassis 11 by screws or the like via a boss 15 on its top surface. A lamp socket 16 and a glow lamp socket 17 are mounted on the socket support 14. Therefore, in this embodiment, a discharge type lamp 18 is attached to the lamp socket 16. 19 is a glow lamp. A light control body holder 20 is screwed into the threaded portion 13, and supports a light control body 21 by its upper end.
The hanging strip 23 is connected to the switch 4, the ballast 12, etc.

According to the above configuration, in order to blink the lamp 18, it is sufficient to push down the switch operating means 2, and whether the hanging strip 23 is a cord, wire, or chain, these are attached to the inside of the shaft 1. Since it is passed through, the switch operating means 2 provided around the shaft 1 is smoothly guided and the switch 4 is operated.

In this way, in a hanging type lighting fixture in which the lamp 18 and the light control body 21 are provided at the bottom by hanging from the hanging strip 23 like a cord pulled out from the top, the top cover of the lighting fixture also serves as the switch operation means 2. This eliminates the need for a drawstring, which is typical of hanging lighting fixtures, which improves the appearance and makes it ideal for use at a tabletop, especially when the lighting fixture is used at a fairly low position.

Next, as an effect peculiar to this embodiment, since the lower end of the switch operating means 2 is guided by the rising wall 22 of the light control body 21, wobbling of the switch operating means 2 can be suppressed, and the elastic member 5 The normal pressure applied to the switch 4 due to the weight of the operating means 2 and the intervening means 3 is reduced, the inclination of the switch operating means 2 is eliminated, and the presence of the intervening means 3 makes it easy to mold the switch operating means 2. . That is, without the intervening means 3, it would be necessary to provide a rib or the like extending from the switch operating means 2 to the switch 4. This has the advantage that when the switch operating means 2 is made of synthetic resin, no sink marks are formed on the surface, and the appearance is improved.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to the invention, in a hanging lighting equipment that is suspended from a hanging strip such as a cord pulled out from the upper part and has a lamp and a light control body at the bottom, the upper cover of the lighting equipment Since it also serves as a switch operation means, there is no need for the drawstring that is typical of hanging lighting equipment, which improves the appearance and makes it easier to use when the lighting equipment is used at a fairly low position, especially on a dining table. Perfect for use. Then, to turn on and off the lamp, all you have to do is press down on the switch operating means, and whether the hanging strip is a cord, wire, or chain, it passes inside the shaft that protrudes from the top of the luminaire. Since the switch operating means provided around the shaft is guided smoothly, the switch can be operated.

Further, according to the embodiment, wobbling of the switch operating means can be suppressed, and the switch operating means can be operated stably.
