Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a connection type fluorescent lamp lighting fixture, and more particularly to a structure for preventing displacement of a reflector to be connected.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an office or the like where a mounting area of a lighting fixture is large, a long fluorescent lighting fixture is connected to a ceiling surface to be mounted, supported and illuminated.

By the way, the elongated fluorescent lamp luminaire main body is continuously supported by, for example, a support bolt provided on the inner surface of the ceiling of the building, and the reflector is supported on the fluorescent lamp luminaire main body. A straight tube fluorescent lamp is mounted between the sockets provided at both ends.

Conventionally, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, as a structure for connecting and supporting a reflector to a fluorescent lamp luminaire that supports a plurality of lamps, one end of a long reflector 1 having a side cross-section is formed in a mountain shape. A connecting metal fitting 2 having the same shape as the side section of the reflector 1 is fixed by protruding one end from the reflector 1, and an end portion of another reflector 3 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the protruding portion of the connecting metal fitting 2 and is connected to the same. The winding parts 5 at both ends of the reflector 3 are inserted into the rising pieces 4 at the ends of the metal fitting 2 to connect the reflector 1 and the reflector 3.

However, since the connecting fitting 2 is applied to one end of the reflector 1 by, for example, spot welding, paint is accumulated at the lower end of the connecting fitting 2 as shown in FIG. When it comes into contact with the lower surface, there is a drawback that a step is formed between the reflector 3 and the reflector 1 to be connected.

[Purpose of device]

The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and has a relatively simple structure, and when the reflectors are connected and supported, there is no step between the reflectors. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has the following configuration to achieve the above object. That is, one end of a connecting metal fitting having the same shape as the side surface of the reflecting material is projected and supported at the end of the reflector, and the outer end of the connecting metal fitting is configured to be inclined slightly upward, corresponding to the inclined surface. The ends of the other reflectors are brought into contact with each other so that the reflecting surfaces of the adjacent reflectors and the reflectors are flush with each other.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, 11 is a long fluorescent lamp lighting fixture main body, 12 is a fluorescent lamp socket supported on both sides of the fluorescent lamp lighting fixture main body 11, and 13 is supported on the fluorescent lamp lighting fixture main body 11. The fittings 14, 14 are reflectors that are connected to and supported by the fluorescent lamp luminaire main body 11 via the fittings 13, and are configured, for example, in a chevron cross section. Further, an appropriate number of socket attachment notches are provided at the end of the reflector 11. Reference numeral 15 is a connecting metal fitting having the same shape as the side surface of the reflector, which is attached to the end of the reflector 14 by projecting the outer end thereof, for example, by spot welding. Further, the outer end of the connecting fitting 15 is formed so as to be inclined slightly upward, as shown in FIGS. 16 is a connecting bracket
The notch for mounting a socket provided on the reflector 15 corresponds to the notch for mounting a socket of the reflector 14 and has the same size. The connecting metal fittings should be removed near the center of the top surface of the reflector 14,
It may be configured with two parts, leaving only the vicinity of both ends. 17
Is another reflector that is supported by the adjacent fluorescent lamp luminaire main body 11, is in contact with the lower surface of the connecting fitting 15, and inserts the winding parts 18 at both ends into the rising parts 19 at both ends of the connecting fitting 15. To do.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a structure in which a plurality of fluorescent lamp luminaires are connected to each other, at one end of the reflector, a connecting metal fitting having the same shape as the side surface of the reflector is projected and supported. The end is tilted slightly upward, and the end of another reflector is in contact with and supported by the same inclined surface. If the surface can absorb the protrusion of paint puddle and the reflectors are connected, it is possible to configure the reflecting surfaces of adjacent reflectors on the same plane without a step between the reflectors with a simple structure. There are advantages.
