Abstract

PURPOSE:To oscillate a guide arm for housing to the side for coming close to a luminaire main body under the condition that the guide arm and a pulling cord are disconnected in the case of transporting a luminaire under the condition that the guide arm is oscillated for housing to the side for coming close to the luminaire main body, and to install the pulling cord and a regulating member to the guide arm easily at the time of using a pull switch. CONSTITUTION:A guide arm 16, in which a pulling cord 15 for operating the ON/OFF of a pull switch 14 is to be inserted and from which the pulling cord 15 is suspended more outside than the outer peripheral part of a luminaire main body 3, is fitted to a luminaire main body 3 freely to be oscillated to the side for coming close to the luminaire main body 3. A regulating member 26, which abuts on the guide arm 16 to regulate the draw-out of the pulling cord 15 from the guide arm 16 to the pull switch 14 side, is fitted to the pulling cord 15. A cord insertion part 27, in which a part of the pulling cord 15 close to the pull switch 14 side than the regulating member 26 can be inserted, is provided in the guide arm 16.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention inserts a pull switch, a drawstring for opening and closing the pull switch, and the drawstring, and suspends the drawstring outside the outer peripheral portion of the instrument body. And a guide arm for lowering the guide, the guide arm being attached to the instrument body so as to be swingable to a side close to the instrument body, and the guide string being in contact with the guide arm. Then, the present invention relates to a switch device for a lighting fixture, to which a restricting member for restricting the pulling-out of the drawstring from the guide arm to the pull switch side is attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a switch device for lighting equipment, a guide arm is swingably attached to a side close to the body of the lighting equipment. Therefore, for example, a wall switch can be used to turn on / off the light without using a pull switch. In such a case, there is an advantage that the guide arm can be stored in a good appearance, and also when the lighting equipment is transported, the guide arm can be stored and transported in a compact state in a state in which the guide arm is not easily damaged. Further, since the pulling cord is attached to the guide arm with a restricting member for restricting the pulling-out of the pulling cord from the guide arm to the pull switch side, the pulling cord is strongly pulled. Even if the pulling cord is suddenly released, the drawstring inserted in the guide arm does not easily come out to the pull switch side due to the recoil, and the length of the drawstring hanging from the guide arm is set to the specified length. There is an advantage that can be maintained. In a switch device for a lighting fixture having such an advantage, conventionally, a through hole for inserting a drawstring is formed on the swing end side of a guide arm, and a regulating member such as a ring having an outer diameter that does not allow the through hole to be inserted. Is attached to the insertion end side from the through hole of the drawstring, and the contact between the regulating member and the guide arm restricts the pullout of the drawstring from the guide arm to the pull switch side (for example, the actual open flat surface). No. 4-36720).

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned prior art, since the pull-out of the drawstring from the guide arm to the pull switch side is always regulated, the guide arm is swung toward the side close to the instrument body. In the case of transporting in a retracted state, the drawstring portion between the pull switch and the through hole of the guide arm is slackened, and this slack portion easily catches on the member or part on the instrument body side, In order to use the pull switch by hanging it outward from the outer peripheral part of the instrument, when the guide arm stored in the instrument body is swung to the outside of the instrument body, the drawstring is the member on the instrument body side. If the guide arm is forcibly swung while being caught by the device or the component, the drawstring may be broken or the member or the component on the instrument body side may be damaged. To prevent such a situation, remove the restriction member from the drawstring, and with the edges of the guide arm and drawstring cut, swing the guide arm close to the instrument body and store it. When using the pull switch, the guide arm may be swung outward of the instrument body, and then the drawstring may be inserted into the through hole and the regulating member may be attached to the insertion end side. In this case, there is a new defect that it takes time and effort to attach the restricting member to the drawstring side. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by devising the structure for inserting the drawstring into the guide arm, the guide arm is swung toward the side closer to the instrument body and transported in a stored state. In such a case, the guide arm and the drawstring can be stored by swinging the guide arm toward the side closer to the instrument body with the edge cut off, and when the pull switch is used, the drawstring is restricted by the regulating member. At the same time, it is intended to be easily attached to the guide arm.

[0004]

The characteristic configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a pull switch, a drawstring for opening and closing the pull switch, and the drawstring by inserting the drawstring. Is provided with a guide arm that hangs and guides more outward than the outer peripheral portion of the instrument body, and the guide arm is attached to the instrument body so as to be swingable to the side close to the instrument body, A switch device for a lighting fixture, wherein a restricting member for restricting the pulling cord from coming out of the guide arm toward the pull switch side by being brought into contact with the guide arm is attached to the pulling cord. In the state where the regulation member is attached to the string, there is a string insertion portion capable of inserting and removing the pull switch side portion of the drawstring with respect to the regulation member of the drawstring. From such a configuration provides the following advantages.

[0005]

When the guide arm is swung to the side close to the instrument body and is transported in a stored state, the pull string to which the restricting member is attached is removed from the guide arm together with the restricting member, and the pull switch is attached. When using, swing the guide arm toward the outside of the instrument body, and then insert the pull switch side part of the drawstring to which the regulating member is attached into the string insertion part provided in the guide arm. To do.

[0006]

Therefore, in the case where the guide arm is swung toward the side close to the instrument body and is transported in a stored state,
With the edge of the guide arm and the drawstring cut, the guide arm can be swung to the side closer to the instrument body and stored, and when the pull switch is used, the drawstring together with the regulation member can be used as the guide arm. Can be easily installed.
