Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a cabinet provided with a lighting device for external lighting.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a cabinet with a lighting fixture, for example,
There is a wall cabinet installed above the kitchen counter as shown in FIG. The wall cabinet 4 is provided above a counter of a kitchen including a gas range 1, a sink 2, a floor cabinet 3, and the like. A curtain plate 11 is attached to the lower front portion of the wall cabinet 4, and an illuminator (not shown) is attached to the inside of the curtain plate 11.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

By the way, in the wall cabinet 4 with a lighting device as described above, the lighting device is usually equipped with a fluorescent lamp on the inner surface side of the curtain plate 11 so as to have an illumination surface in the front direction. Therefore, when doing work such as cooking and washing dishes in the kitchen, the front side on the counter is bright,
The back side lacked brightness and was inconvenient to use.
In particular, since the hood 5 is usually installed above the gas range 1, and no lighting is attached to the part of the hood 5, the back side of the gas range 1 is brighter than other parts. Run out of space. In addition, the outside of the side end portions of the floor cabinet 3 and the wall cabinet 4 is hard to reach the illumination from the lighting equipment of the wall cabinet 4, and is easily shaded by the illumination of the indoor illumination lamp, so that the brightness of this portion is insufficient. There was a problem of doing.

In view of the above, the present invention has an object to brightly illuminate the space below and to the side of the cabinet by attaching a lighting tool to the corner of the cabinet.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the object, the cabinet with a lighting device of the present invention is characterized in that a lighting device having a lighting surface in the depth direction of the cabinet is provided at a corner portion of a cabinet for storing articles.

Here, the lighting device may be provided in a lower corner portion of the wall cabinet or an upper corner portion of the floor cabinet.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. Note that, in the same figure, parts corresponding to the members shown in FIG. 8 are designated by the same reference numerals.

In this embodiment, the lighting fixtures 61 and 62 are provided at the lower corners of the wall cabinets 41 and 42 located on both sides of the hood 5 installed above the gas range 1 of the kitchen counter.
Are provided respectively.

FIG. 2 shows the wall cabinet 41 of FIG.
It is a diagram showing a mounting structure of the illuminator 61, the figure (a) is a door 41a
A perspective view showing the inside of the wall cabinet 41 opened
FIG. 11B is a side view showing the attachment of the fluorescent lamp 61a, and FIG. 11C is a perspective view showing the cover 61b.

As shown in the figure, a corner of the wall cabinet 41 on the side of the hood 5 is cut out in the lower part, and the cutout has a fluorescent lamp 61a and a transparent or translucent cover 61b.
61 is attached in the depth direction of the wall cabinet 41 in the longitudinal direction thereof. Similarly, at the lower part of the wall cabinet 42, the illuminator 62 is also installed at the corner of the hood 5 side.
Attach.

As described above, in this embodiment, since the illuminators 61 and 62 are provided at the lower corners of the wall cabinets 41 and 42 located on both sides of the hood 5, respectively, when the gas range 1 is cooked, the back of the counter is Brightly lit up to the side for easy cooking work.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a mounting structure of a lighting device. In addition,
In these figures, parts corresponding to the members shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.

Similar to the first embodiment, this embodiment also has lighting fixtures 71 and 72 at the lower corners of the wall cabinets 41 and 42 located on both sides of the hood 5 installed above the gas range 1 of the kitchen counter, respectively. This is an example provided. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower corner of the door 41a of the wall cabinet 41 is also cut out so that the front surface of the cover 71b is flush with the door 41a, and a spherical lamp is used instead of the fluorescent lamp. A plurality of 71a are attached. The same applies to the door 42a of the wall cabinet 42 and the lighting fixture 72. Therefore, in the case of the present embodiment, the back side of the counter is illuminated brightly and the front side of the counter is illuminated brightly.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention.

The present embodiment is an example in which the illuminator 8 is provided at the lower corner portion of the side end of the wall cabinet 43. The mounting structure of the illuminator 8 is similar to that of the second embodiment. In the case of this embodiment, the back side of the counter is brightly illuminated and the side of the floor cabinet 3 is also brightly illuminated.
The side of the floor cabinet 3 is a portion that is likely to be shaded by conventional lighting, but according to this embodiment, since the lighting fixture 8 illuminates obliquely downward including the wall, the shaded portion is reduced.

6 and 7 are perspective views showing the fourth and fifth embodiments of the present invention, respectively.

In these examples, the illuminators 9 or 10 are provided at the upper corner portion or the lower corner portion of the side edge of the floor cabinet 3. The mounting structure of the illuminators 9 and 10 is similar to that of the second embodiment. This embodiment is for illuminating the side of the floor cabinet 3, and when used in combination with the lighting equipment of the wall cabinet shown in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, above the counter of the floor cabinet 3. Both the lateral and lateral spaces can be illuminated brightly.

[Effect of device]

As described above, in the cabinet with a lighting device of the present invention, the lighting device having the lighting surface in the depth direction of the cabinet is provided at the corner portion of the article storage cabinet such as the wall cabinet or the floor cabinet. Therefore, when the illuminating device is provided in the lower corner portion of the wall cabinet, it is possible to brightly illuminate the lower part of the wall cabinet, for example, the inner side above the kitchen counter. Further, when the illuminating device is provided at the lower corner portion of the side end of the wall cabinet, it is possible to illuminate the space diagonally below the wall cabinet and the space on the side of the kitchen counter brightly. Further, when the illuminating device is provided at the upper corner portion or the lower corner portion of the floor cabinet, it is possible to brightly illuminate the space on the side of the floor cabinet which is likely to be shaded by ordinary lighting. Further, by using the lighting equipment of the wall cabinet and the lighting equipment of the floor cabinet together, it is possible to brightly illuminate both the space above and to the side of the counter of the floor cabinet. In addition, by providing a lighting device at a corner portion of a wall cabinet or a floor cabinet, the light of the lighting device serves as an accent in the room, and the atmosphere in the room can be improved.
