Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to a lighting device for a bay window vanity, which can illuminate the user's face with sufficient light and improve usability. The purpose is to save space for storing lighting equipment.

[Prior art] and [Problems to be solved by the invention] As a lighting device for a bay window vanity, the
As seen in Publication No. 3088 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 59-196190, a horizontally long lighting fixture is placed above the mirror in the same way as is generally adopted in conventional mirror cabinets. This is what is being done. With this configuration,
The aesthetic treatment of the joint between the lighting fixture and the mirror becomes troublesome, and the utilization of the ceiling inside the bay window becomes inferior.

In addition, as a lighting device for bay windows,
No. 9107, as shown in FIG. 4, a lighting fixture 12 is housed in a window box 11 located above the upper edge of the bay window opening 10, and a light-transmitting material is used to partition the window box 11 and the upper edge of the opening. A removable ceiling plate 13 is attached, and light is emitted through the ceiling plate 13. If such a configuration is adopted for a bay window washstand, the lighting fixture will be located above the upper edge of the opening, so the light will reach the washbowl directly below it, but in front of the washstand The face of the user standing upright would not receive enough light, making it difficult to use.

[Means for solving the problems] This invention was devised to solve these conventional problems, and its gist is as follows:
Below the upper edge of the bay window opening of the bay window vanity and above the bay window opening, a lighting fixture cover is provided which has translucency as a whole and covers the entire area above the bay window, and the lighting fixture cover and the roof board are connected together. The present invention is characterized in that a ceiling plate having a recess for storing the lighting equipment is provided between the ceiling plates, and the lighting equipment is arranged in the recess for storing the lighting equipment.

[Example] The following will explain the embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figure 1 shows a bay window vanity according to this invention, in which a rectangular opening 1 is provided in the outer wall of a building, and a bay window main body 2 is placed over the opening 1 to form a structure that protrudes from the outer wall of the building. A washstand 3 and a mirror, etc., are housed inside this.

Bay windows are basically bright during the day due to the outside light from the windows formed on three sides and do not require lighting, but at night it is difficult for indoor lighting, which is usually installed on the ceiling in the center of the room, to reach, so they are installed separately. Lighting will be required.

In this embodiment, the ceiling plate 4 is provided so as to substantially coincide with the upper edge of the opening 1. This ceiling plate 4 is formed with a recess 6 in which a lighting fixture 5 is housed. A lighting equipment cover 7 is provided below the ceiling plate 4, and this lighting equipment cover 7 is provided slightly below the upper edge of the opening 1. Specifically, a substantially U-shaped front cover 71 is provided above the opening 1 of the bay window, and a substantially L-shaped receiver 72 is provided above the bay window, and these front covers and 71 and the receiver 72,
The illumination cover body 73 is constructed so as to fall into it.

The front cover 71 is made of a translucent material such as an acrylic plate, faces the upper part of the bay window opening 1, and is attached to the ceiling board 4 with screws.

The receiver 72 is made of metal such as aluminum, and is attached to the front of the bay window 2 or to the ceiling plate 4 with screws.

The lighting cover main body 73 can be made of any material such as a white louver arranged in a lattice shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flat milky white plastic board, or a colorful stained glass material.

Note that this lighting device for the bay window vanity can also be applied to a wall-embedded unit.

[Effects of the invention] This invention consists of the above structure,
By lowering the lighting fixture cover to a position below the opening 1 of the bay window, the light can sufficiently reach the face of the user standing in front of the bay window vanity, improving usability. Further, by making the lighting equipment cover lower than the opening 1 of the bay window, the space within the roof of the bay window can be effectively utilized, and it can also be made lower.
