Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To allow a socket cover to be easily attached to a square lighting fixture. [Structure] The socket cover is formed into an L-shape with a hollow inside, and spring pieces with open upper ends are attached to both ends thereof. After attaching the fluorescent lamp to the socket fixed to the instrument body, the socket cover is attached to the instrument body through the spring piece, the die and the socket by engaging the spring piece with the mouthpiece of the fluorescent lamp.

[Detailed industrial description]

 The present invention relates to a socket cover mounting device for a lighting fixture.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 It is well known that the luminaire has a rectangular main body and fluorescent lamps are attached along each side of the main body. In that case, the socket of each fluorescent lamp is attached to each corner of the equipment body. Since the appearance of the mounted socket will be damaged if it is left exposed, it is common practice to cover the socket with a socket cover.

Conventionally, when attaching the socket cover, it is fixed to the instrument body with a screw or the like. However, when using such an attachment means, it is necessary to previously machine a screw hole for attachment in the instrument body, and the machining work is troublesome.

There are cases where the socket cover is required and cases where the socket cover is not required. However, if screw holes are machined in all the instrument bodies in advance, the screw holes will not be formed if the socket cover is not required. It will be left as it is, and the appearance is bad.

Assuming that the screw holes have not been processed in advance, when the socket cover is needed later, it is extremely difficult to machine the already attached device body in terms of its work. is there.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention relates to a lighting fixture in which fluorescent lamps are attached along each side of a square-shaped fixture body, and a socket cover is attached to cover the socket in a configuration in which a socket is attached to each corner of the fixture body. The purpose is to simplify.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a lighting fixture in which a socket is attached to each corner of a square-shaped fixture main body, and a fluorescent lamp is attached by each socket along each side of the fixture main body. Characteristically, a spring piece having an open upper end is attached to both ends of the inside of the socket cover formed into a shape, and the spring piece is elastically engaged with the peripheral edge of the base of the fluorescent lamp. .

[0008]

[Action]

 The fluorescent lamp is supported by a socket attached to the fixture body and is fixed to the fixture body. Since the spring piece fixed to the socket cover is engaged with the base of the fluorescent lamp fixed in this way, the socket cover is therefore attached to the instrument body via the fluorescent lamp.

For this attachment, it is sufficient to simply engage the spring piece with the mouthpiece, and the instrument body does not require any processing for attaching the socket cover. Further, the mounting work is extremely simple because the engagement of the spring piece is sufficient.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes an instrument main body, which is formed in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 3, and a pair of sockets 2 facing each other is attached to each side thereof, and the fluorescent lamp 3 is supported by the sockets 2. These configurations are not particularly different from the conventional ones.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a socket cover according to the present invention, which is formed into an L-shape having a hollow inside, and has a hole 5 formed on both end faces thereof, the size being such that the fluorescent lamp 3 can pass through. Then, a spring piece 6 having an open upper end is attached inside the portion close to both end portions thereof. The socket cover 4 is provided at each corner of the instrument body 1 and along the adjacent sides of the instrument body 1. With this arrangement, the socket 2 adjacent to the corner of the device body 1 is covered.

A spring piece 6 is used to attach the socket cover 4 arranged in this manner. That is, by fitting the open portion of the spring piece 6 into the base 7 of the fluorescent lamp 3 already attached to the socket 2, the spring piece 6 is elastically engaged with the periphery of the base 7 of the fluorescent lamp 3. To combine. As a result, the socket cover 4 is attached to the instrument body 1 via the fluorescent lamp 3 and the socket 2.

[Effect of the device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the socket cover can be attached simply by engaging the spring piece attached to the inside of the socket cover by fitting it into the base of the fluorescent lamp. Is extremely simple. In addition, since the fixture body does not require any processing for attachment, it has the effect of easily attaching the socket cover to existing lighting fixtures.
