Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wall-embedded fire extinguisher case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique, a fire extinguisher-like appearance is used and a part or all of the surrounding area is made of a light-transmitting luminaire. There is a fire extinguisher position display lighting device installed near the fire extinguisher. (Refer to Utility Model Application Publication No. Sho 63-9933) However, in such a lighting device, since the fire extinguisher and the lighting device are exposed, they are not housed in the case but are installed on the floor surface or the shelf surface. There were cases where the fire extinguisher and the lighting device hindered traffic, or the fire extinguisher accidentally fell.

Further, since the fire extinguisher and the illuminating device are separate bodies, there is a case where the mutual positional relationship is displaced. In such a case, it is necessary to find and use the fire extinguisher quickly and accurately in an emergency. There was a possibility that I could not. In particular, when installed in a home or the like, there is a possibility that the position may be changed by being mischievous by a child or the like.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a lighting device is integrally provided in a wall-mounted fire extinguisher case to fix the relative positions of the fire extinguisher and the lighting device.
The purpose is to reliably display the position of the fire extinguisher.

Further, since the fire extinguisher case is embedded in the wall surface, it is intended that the fire extinguisher case can be safely stored without hindering passage or becoming a child's mischief.

Further, it is another object of the present invention to provide a fire extinguisher case integrally with a lighting device so that the fire extinguisher can be easily installed in a short time. In addition, by continuing to turn on the lighting device even during a power outage, it is an object of the present invention to carry out quick and accurate fire fighting activities even in the event of a fire.

[0007]

The present invention relates to a fire extinguisher case which is provided with a fire extinguisher accommodating portion and is housed in a wall so that the fire extinguisher can be put in and taken out of the fire extinguisher case. A lighting device for displaying the position of is provided integrally with the case, and in the event of a power failure, a rechargeable battery that serves as a power source for lighting is provided separately from the AC power source, and is usually connected to the AC power source, and in the event of a power failure. A power supply switching device for switching the power supply is provided so that the battery serves as a power supply for illumination.

Other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiment and the claims.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a wall-embedded fire extinguisher case 1 is formed with a fire extinguisher accommodating portion 2 into which a fire extinguisher can be put in and taken out, and an illuminating device 3 is provided above the accommodating portion 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 3 may be formed not only in the upper portion but also in the lower portion.

In FIG. 3, a fluorescent lamp is used as the illuminating lamp 31 of the illuminating device 3. A reflector 9 around the lighting 31
Are formed. The reflecting mirror 9 is open at both sides in a radial pattern around the fluorescent lamp 31 to effectively reflect the light of the fluorescent lamp. The reflector 9 has a mounting bracket 10
Is attached to the wall surface side of the fire extinguisher case.
Next, FIG. 4 illustrates a circuit diagram of the lighting device 3 of this embodiment.

In the figure, 4 is a rechargeable battery, 5 is a power source switching device for switching the power source between the AC power source 6 and the battery 4, 7 is a wall switch, and 8 is an inspection switch for checking the degree of charge of the battery. Is.

As the battery 4, for example, a nickel-cadmium battery may be used. The battery 4 is always charged.

The power supply switching device 5 is normally operated by the AC power supply 6
The fluorescent lamp 31 is turned on by using the
Is switched on so that the fluorescent lamp 31 is turned on. The wall switch 7 is a switch for switching ON / OFF of the AC power supply 6, and is used when the illumination of the fluorescent lamp 31 is turned off during the day and the fluorescent lamp 31 is turned on only at night. When it is desired to keep the light on all the time, such as an emergency guide light, the wall switch 7 is not provided, and the circuit connection is closed as shown by the dotted line in the figure.

In the above structure, the wall switch 7 is usually used.
When is turned on (closed), the AC power supply is supplied from the AC power supply 6, so that the power supply switching device 5 supplies the power from the AC power supply to turn on the fluorescent lamp 31. When a power failure occurs due to a fire or the like, when the power switching device 5 senses the power failure, the power source is switched to the battery 4 to supply the power.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the power source switching device switches the power source between the AC power source and the battery, the lighting device can be continuously turned on even in the event of a power failure. Even in the event of a fire, it is possible to quickly and accurately carry out fire fighting activities.

Further, in the present invention, since the wall-embedded fire extinguisher case and the lighting device are integrally formed, the position of the fire extinguisher can be recognized even from a distant position, and the fire extinguisher can be quickly extinguished in case of fire. There is an effect that can be taken out. In particular, when the lighting device is arranged both above and below the fire extinguisher compartment, not only a more reliable lighting effect can be obtained, but also the position of the fire extinguisher compartment can be visually recognized, and therefore, especially at night. The effect is that the fire extinguisher can be easily removed during a fire. Further, since the fire extinguisher case and the lighting device are integrated, the fire extinguisher case can be easily installed.

Further, since the fire extinguisher case is embedded in the wall surface, the fire extinguisher and the lighting device do not obstruct the passage of traffic, and the mischief and malfunction of the fire extinguisher by a child or the like can be reduced. It is also possible to keep the beautiful appearance of the fire extinguisher installation location.
