Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] This invention particularly relates to a lighting fixture for kitchen use.

[Background technology]

It has been proposed in the past to install lighting fixtures for hand illumination around the stove or the like.

However, with conventional lighting equipment, the internal space of the lighting equipment must be enlarged to take into account the heat dissipation from the lamp (incandescent lamp), which means that the entire equipment including the cover becomes large and takes up a lot of space. It was hot. Furthermore, when used in a kitchen, oil stains and the like tend to adhere, so there was a need for something that was particularly easy to clean.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting fixture that is compact and whose interior is easy to clean.

[Disclosure of the invention]

The lighting equipment of the present invention has a main body that is long and narrow with an L-shaped cross section and closed at both ends, and houses lighting accessories such as terminals and switch circuits, and a lamp that is installed and fixed on the adjacent inner surface of the main body. a mounting plate held through a socket; a light-shielding cover material that covers the front surface of the device body and has an opening at a portion corresponding to the lamp; and a light-shielding cover material that is inserted through the opening of the cover material and houses the lamp therein. The heat shielding device includes a heat shielding cylinder and a mounting spring that is interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder and the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the cover material and holds the cylinder in a detachable manner.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 6. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an elongated instrument body with an L-shaped cross section and closed ends, and a mounting plate 2 installed on both inner surfaces of the instrument body 1.
Attach socket 3 to socket 3, and attach lamp 4 (incandescent lamp) to this socket 3. A light shielding cover material 5 made of wood, plastic or the like is attached to the front surface of the main body 1 of the device. An opening 6 is provided in a portion of the cover material 5 that corresponds to the lamp 4. A heat shielding cylinder 7 is inserted into the opening 6, and the lamp 4 is housed within the cylinder 7.

Therefore, the heat of the lamp 4 does not directly reach the cover material 5, so the temperature rise in the interior space 8 of the lighting fixture can be suppressed to a low level, making it possible to reduce the interior space 8 and making the entire device compact. can be made into something. At that time, lamp 4
The light from the cylindrical body 6 passes through the front translucent plate 9 (glass plate) and is guided to the outside as a spotlight.

The heat shielding cylinder 7 has a mounting spring 10 interposed between its outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the opening 6 of the cover material 5.
It is fixed to the cover material 5 by. That is, the mounting spring 10 biases the cylindrical body 7 in the direction of pushing it inwardly into the lighting fixture, thereby preventing the cylindrical body 7 from coming off. Further, a flange portion 11 is integrally provided at the tip of the cylindrical body 7, and a transparent plate mounting frame 12 is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the flange portion 11. This mounting frame 12 is partially provided with a notch 13, and the cylinder 7 is installed by pushing a jig such as a spoon into this notch 13 and pulling the cylinder 7 forward. It can be pushed out against the urging force of the spring 10. Therefore, the cylindrical body 7 can be attached and detached with almost a single touch during maintenance inspection and internal cleaning, making handling easier.

Further, since the transparent plate 9 is engaged with the mounting frame 12 via the gasket 14, it is possible to prevent oil or the like from entering the interior when used in a kitchen.

FIGS. 2 and 3 each show the mounting structure of the cover material. In FIG. 2, a mounting bar 15 is attached to the inner surface of the instrument main body 1, a blind nut (not shown) is driven into the mounting bar 15, and a cover material 5'
A hole 16 for inserting a screw is provided in the cover member 5', and the cover member 5' is fixed with a screw. In addition, Fig. 3 shows that an iron plate 17 is attached in advance to the inner surface of the cover material 5'', and magnetic bodies 18 (magnetic catches) are attached to the inner surface of the instrument body at several locations, and the cover material 5'' is fixed with the magnets. It was designed to do so. especially,
When using magnets, there is an advantage that construction is easy.

In addition, in order to achieve a good finish on the lighting fixture, the cover material 5 is installed at a position approximately 0.5 to 1 mm inward from the side edge of the fixture body 1, as shown in FIG. Make sure that the sides (such as the end of the wood) are not visible from the outside.

FIG. 5 shows how the lighting fixture 20 of this embodiment is installed in a kitchen. I try to guess. Note that 25 is a flat switch for blinking the lamp. This switch 25 is shared by the left and right lighting fixtures.

Further, FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the state in which the front cover material 5 is removed, and the terminal 2 is connected to the terminal 2 by the cord 26.
7, socket 3, switch circuit 28 and flat switch 25 are connected and built inside. The reason why the switch is a flat switch 25 is to make it easier to clean oil stains and the like from the kitchen.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, the lamp is inserted through the opening of the heat-shielding cylindrical cover material and housed inside the cylindrical body, so the heat emitted from the lamp does not reach the cover material directly, and the inside of the appliance body is Temperature rise can be suppressed. As a result, the lighting accessory is not adversely affected by the heat dissipation of the lamp, and the fixture body can be made elongated and miniaturized. In addition, since the cross section of the main body of the device is L-shaped, it can be compactly stored and installed in a place that does not get crowded, such as in a corner. Furthermore, the mounting plate serves not only to hold the lamp through the socket, but also to reinforce the main body of the device. In addition, since the cylinder body can be easily attached and detached,
This has the effect that cleaning etc. are easy.
