Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a V spring used for lighting equipment and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, when an accessory 21 such as a translucent plate is attached to the lower surface opening portion of a lighting fixture having a box-shaped main body 20 in which the lower surface is opened, the translucent light is transmitted. The frame 22 having the plate attached thereto is attached to the main body 20 by the V spring 23. That is, the four V springs 23 fixed to the frame body 22 are attached by engaging the four V spring receivers 24 fixed to the inner wall of the main body 20.

As shown in FIG. 4, in order to engage the V spring 23 with the V spring receiver 24, the V spring 23 of the frame body 22 is supported by one hand while supporting the entire frame body 22 by one hand. Hold the two rod spring portions 23a of the V spring 23, which are spread in a substantially horizontal state by sandwiching them with your hands, while keeping the gap between them until they become substantially horizontal. If the rod springs 23a of the V spring 23 are inserted into the spring receiving portion 24a of the V spring receiving member 24 fixed to the inner wall of the main body 20 by loosening the narrowed force, The distance between the two rod spring portions 23a of the V spring 23 is widened as before, and the V spring 23 engages with the V spring receiver 24.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a mounting structure using the V spring 23 and the V spring receiver 24, the V spring receiver 24 to which the V spring 23 should be engaged is the inner wall of the main body 20 on the front side as seen from the operator. Since it is on the side, the V spring receiver 24 itself cannot be seen by the operator, and the V spring 23 is engaged with the V spring receiver 24 in a groping state. Moreover, as the body 20 becomes larger and deeper, the V spring 23 also becomes larger and the position of the V spring receiver 24 becomes deeper.

Further, in order to maintain a parallel state by narrowing the interval between the two bar spring portions 23a of the V spring 23 which spreads to a substantially horizontal state, a considerable force must be applied. It is quite a painful task to search for the invisible V-spring receiver 24 while groping while keeping the distance between the two bar spring portions 23a narrow.

Further, the mounting work of the frame body is performed in a considerably unnatural posture. That is, an operator rides on a stepladder or the like and supports the frame body 22 with one hand, while holding the V spring 23 of the frame body 22 with the other hand, and the distance between the V springs 23 spreading in a V shape is increased. It is necessary to raise the V spring 23 toward the main body 20 together with the frame body 22 while narrowing it, and as the V spring 23 is raised toward the main body 20 together with the frame body 22, the frame body 22 and the main body 2 The gap D with 0 becomes narrower, and the range in which the hand holding the V spring 23 can be freely moved becomes narrower, so mounting work becomes more difficult.

Therefore, it often happens that the hand holding the V spring 23 is released without confirming whether the V spring 23 is completely engaged with the V spring receiver 24. The V spring 23 engaged with the V spring receiver 24 may be disengaged from the V spring receiver 24, causing the rod spring portion 23a to bounce and damage the translucent plate mounted on the frame body 22.

An object of the present invention is to provide a V-beam mounting structure that allows the V-spring to be securely engaged with the V-spring receiving member without groping.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, in the V spring mounting structure for locking the V spring of the mounted body to the spring receiving member arranged in a place that is difficult to see from the outside of the main body, below the position where the spring receiving device of the main body is attached. A mark indicating the range in which the V spring is narrowed so that it can be engaged with the panel receiver is attached to a portion visible from the outside of the vehicle, while a mark indicating the position where the V spring in the narrowed state should be raised is attached to the V panel. It is configured as marked with.

[0010]

[Action]

 With the V spring narrowed within the range of the mark on the main body, raise the V spring until the mark on the V spring reaches the mark on the main unit, and loosen the force that narrowed the spring there. Locked to the receiver.

[0011]

【Example】

 In FIGS. 1 and 2, a spring receiver 2 is arranged inside a side wall of a box-shaped luminaire main body 1 in which a lamp is arranged and the lower surface is opened. The V spring 3 fixed to the frame body 1a as a body is locked. The spring holder 2 is the same as that used conventionally, and has a horizontally long hole 4 into which the V spring 3 is inserted and locked, and the peripheral edge of the hole 4 is cut out at the center 5.

A mark 6 is attached to the portion of the side wall of the luminaire main body 1 that is visible from the outside, and a mark 7 is attached to the spring 3. The mark 6 shows the range in which the V spring 3 is narrowed, and the mark 7 shows the standard of how much the V spring 3 should be raised. That is, the distance A between the inner ends of the marks 6 becomes smaller than the lateral width C of the hole 4 when the distance B between the springs 3 is narrowed to within this distance A. It is dimensioned so that it can be inserted into the hole 4.

In addition, the mark 7 of the V spring 3 is moved to the mark 6 of the luminaire main body 1 when the mark 7 of the V spring 3 is lifted up to the mark 6 of the luminaire main body 1 while the V spring 3 is narrowed to the distance A. The V spring 3 is placed at a position where it is locked to the spring receiver 2 by passing through the hole 4 and relaxing the force of the hand that narrows the V spring 3 there.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the person who mounts the V-spring has narrowed the V-spring 3 within the distance A between the marks 6 of the luminaire main body 1, and then set the mark 7 of the V-spring 3 to the eye of the luminaire main body 1. The spring can be locked to the spring receiver 2 by raising the position up to the mark 6 and then relaxing the force that narrows the spring. Then, just raise the frame 1a.

The marks 6 and 7 are not limited to those of the embodiment. For example, the mark 6 may be colored not on the outside of the mark A in FIG. 1 but on the part of the mark A, and as the mark 7 may be colored entirely above the mark 7 in FIG. In addition to the coloring material such as paint, the marks 6 and 7 may be roughened by a chemical agent or mechanical treatment so that they can be distinguished from each other, or they may be embossed, notched, or scored.

The spring receiver 2 and the V spring 3 are not limited to those of the structure of the embodiment, but may be of various types, and the locations and shapes of the marks 6 and 7 may be changed accordingly. To be

In the embodiment, the V spring used for the luminaire is shown, but the invention is not necessarily limited to the luminaire, and the application is not limited as long as the V spring can be used for engagement.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 In the present invention, when the V spring is narrowed within the range of the mark of the main body, the mark of the V spring is raised to the mark of the main body, and then the force which is narrowing the V spring is loosened, the V bar is reduced. Since the hook can be locked to the spring receiver, even if the person who installs the V spring cannot see the spring receiver of the main body, the V spring can be securely locked to the spring receiver in a short time. it can.
