Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] 〔Technical field〕 This invention relates to lighting equipment.

[Background technology]

Conventional examples are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, in this lighting fixture, a pair of lamp sockets 31 are arranged on the reflective surface of a reflector plate 30, a straight fluorescent lamp is mounted thereon, and the lamp sockets are covered with a cover 32.

However, as shown in FIG. 3, this lighting fixture is installed on a wall surface 35 above the horizontal line of sight A of a person 34 standing on a floor surface 33.
In addition, the lighting direction is toward the ceiling as shown by the arrow.

Therefore, even if the lighting equipment is at a height that is accessible and the cover 32 can be removed when replacing the lamp, the straight fluorescent lamp and the lamp socket 31 are not visible due to the reflector plate 30, making it difficult to replace the lamp. It was hot. In particular, in long lamps such as 40 watts, a plunger type lamp socket 31 is used as shown in FIG. 4, and it is difficult to replace the lamp without being able to see the lamp socket 31.

Therefore, conventionally, when replacing a lamp, it was necessary to go up on a stepladder or the like and stand in a position where the lamp socket 31 could be seen, which was very troublesome.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of this invention is to provide a lighting fixture in which the lamp can be easily replaced even when the lamp socket is not visible.

[Disclosure of invention]

The lighting fixture of this invention has a reflector having a reflective surface that covers the back surface of the lamp, a receiving hole for receiving the lamp pin of the lamp, and an opening that extends from the receiving hole to the circumferential surface and introduces the lamp pin laterally. and a lamp socket formed with a lamp socket, the opening of the lamp socket being arranged approximately parallel to the reflecting surface, and the distance between the opening and the reflecting surface being approximately equal to the radius of the lamp. be.

According to the configuration of this invention, the lamp pin can be inserted into and removed from the opening while the lamp is brought into contact with the reflective surface and guided. Therefore, the lamp can be easily replaced even when the lamp socket is not visible.

Embodiment An embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2. That is, this lighting fixture has a reflector plate 6 having a reflective surface 5 that covers the back surface of a straight tube fluorescent lamp 1 as a lamp, a receiving hole 12 for receiving a lamp pin 2 of the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1, and a peripheral portion from the receiving hole 12. The lamp socket 4 is provided with an opening 3 extending from the surface thereof into which the lamp pin 2 is laterally introduced.

The reflecting plate 6 has a vertical portion 7a bent toward the horizontal portion 7 and the wall surface 8 side of the horizontal portion 7, and the side opposite to the wall surface 8 of the horizontal portion 7 is inclined obliquely upward to serve as a guide when replacing the straight fluorescent lamp 1. The inclined portion 7b, which also serves as a slanted portion, is bent, and its edge portion 9 is further folded back outward.

The opening 3 of the lamp socket 4 (one not shown) is arranged approximately parallel to the reflective surface 5, and the distance between the opening 3 and the reflective surface 5 is approximately equal to the radius of the straight fluorescent lamp 1.

The reflector plate 6 and lamp socket 4 are held in a device body (not shown), and the device body is attached to a wall surface (not shown), and a cover 1 is attached to the device body.
0 is attached to cover the reflecting plate 6. 11
is the transparent part of the cover 10, and the straight fluorescent lamp 1
The light illuminates the ceiling side directly or by being reflected from the reflecting surface 5 of the reflecting plate 6.

To insert the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1, after removing the cover 10, the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1 is brought into contact with the inclined part 7b of the reflective surface 5, moved to the horizontal part 7 while rotating, and the lamp pin 2 is inserted into the opening 3. and insert it. When removing the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1, the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1 is removed from the opening 3 while being rotated in the opposite manner to the above, and the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1 is pulled out while moving along the inclined portion 7b.

According to this embodiment, the lamp pin 2 can be inserted into and removed from the opening 3 while the straight fluorescent lamp 1 is brought into contact with and guided by the reflection surface 5 of the reflection plate 6. Therefore, the lamp can be easily replaced even if the lamp socket 4 is installed so that it cannot be seen.

Therefore, there is no need for a stepladder or the like as in the conventional case.

Note that even if the lighting fixture is installed in a position where the lamp socket 4 is visible, the straight tube fluorescent lamp 1 is placed on the reflective surface 5.
Lamp replacement is easy because the lamp can be replaced while being guided by the lamp.

[Effect of idea]

According to the lighting fixture of this invention, the lamp pin can be inserted into and removed from the opening while the lamp is in contact with the reflective surface and guided. Therefore, the lamp can be easily replaced even when the lamp socket is not visible.
