Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a lighting device for decorating the water surface of a water area.

In this specification, water areas refer to ponds, moats, pools, rivers, waterways, etc. where the water area is divided by both banks, and in addition to outdoor natural areas, water areas are Including artificial ones.

Conventional technology Conventionally, a lighting device consists of a buoyant body and a lighting fixture fixed to the top surface of the buoyant body, and power is supplied to the lighting fixture on the water from a cable wired so as to be submerged in the water. A lighting fixture for pond water has been proposed (see Utility Model Application Publication No. 107178/1983).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned lighting equipment for pond water is not much more than a floating lantern, as it is intended to enjoy the elegance of floating the lighting equipment in a pond and swaying as the water surface moves.

The purpose of this invention is to create a novel water surface decorative lighting that can decorate a water area by reflecting the beautiful light on the water surface spanning from one shore to the other, so that the movement of the water surface instantly becomes the movement of light. We are here to provide you with the equipment.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the water surface decoration lighting device according to this invention includes a bridge-like hollow frame having longitudinal and downward slits, and a predetermined space inside the hollow frame. It consists of fluorescent lamp clamping fittings provided at intervals and a fluorescent lamp held between the clamping fittings.

Aluminum profiles are mainly used for the hollow frame, but other metals, synthetic resins, etc. can also be used.

The water surface decorative lighting device of this invention has the above-mentioned structure, so when the bridge-shaped hollow frame is fixed across both sides of the water area, the light from the fluorescent lamp in the hollow frame passes through the slits and is projected linearly on the water surface spanning both sides, as shown in Figure 4. In the case of ponds and moats, the light is reflected by the wind,
In the case of rivers and waterways, the water surface moves due to currents and wind.
That movement becomes the movement of light itself.

Embodiment An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1-4. The illustrated water surface decoration lighting device 15 spans both banks 2 of a water area 1, which is an artificial pond, and includes a bridge-like hollow frame 3 having longitudinal and downward slits 6; It consists of fluorescent lamp clamping fittings 8 provided inside the frame 3 at predetermined intervals, and a fluorescent lamp 4 held by the clamping fittings 8.

The hollow frame 3 is made by bending an aluminum section having a circular cross section into an arch shape, and includes two opposing L-shaped protrusions 7a provided on the inner surface opposite to the slit 6. A mounting seat 7 is integrally formed in the length direction. A plurality of scissor spring-shaped clamping fittings 8 are fixed to the mounting seat 7. Note that the lead wire can be housed in a space formed between two opposing L-shaped protrusions 7a constituting the mounting seat 7.

Both ends of the frame 3 have anchor bolts 9 embedded in each bank 2, as shown in FIG.
Then, it is fixed with a set screw 12 to the outer vertical wall of the square-shaped mounting bracket 11 which is tightened with a nut 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, the light that goes out through the slit 6 of the hollow frame 3 appears on the water surface W of the water area 1, straddling from one shore 2 to the other shore 2, causing a linear wavering motion. It is displayed as Image R.

Note that the shape of the lighting device is not limited to an arch shape, and may be a chevron-shaped lighting device 20 as shown in FIG. 5, or an inverted shape as shown in FIG. It may be a U-shaped lighting device 30.

Effects of the invention According to the water surface decoration lighting device of this invention, when a bridge-shaped hollow frame is straddled on both sides of a water area, beautiful light is projected in a line on the water surface below, and the movement of the water surface is also controlled. In other words, it becomes the movement of light itself and decorates the water surface. Therefore, when placed in a water area such as a park, a hotel/inn garden, or near the entrance, it gives a unique atmosphere to the viewer.
