Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a bathroom directing device arranged in a bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various consideration has been given to a bathroom so that a user can relax and take a bath. In addition to direct lighting and indirect lighting, the lighting of the bathroom also changes the color of the illuminating light or the brightness. The method of changing the height is adopted. There is also a technique in which various patterns are applied to the ceiling surface in order to improve the atmosphere in the bathroom. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-133120 (bathroom), as shown in FIG. 1 of the publication, a large number of through-holes 2 ... (... Show a plurality in a ceiling surface 1 formed in a dome shape.
same as below. ) Is opened, an arbitrary pattern is formed by these many through holes 2, ... And the optical fibers 4 are connected to each through hole 2 ,.
A technique of connecting the other ends of the optical fibers 4 to a light source box (hereinafter, referred to as "bathroom production device") is disclosed. According to this technology, a bathroom user can take a bath while looking at the pattern on the ceiling and can relax.

[0003]

According to the conventional technique, a pattern is formed by opening a large number of through holes 2 ... In the ceiling surface 1, and the optical fibers 4 ... Are connected to these through holes 2. It is necessary to fill the space between the holes 2 and the optical fibers 4 with a sealant to secure the moisture resistance of the ceiling, and the structure is complicated and assembly is not easy. In addition, the equipment is large-scale and the equipment cost is high.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom directing device having a simple structure so that a bathroom user can take a bath while looking at the pattern seen on the ceiling surface.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a sheet on which an arbitrary pattern is drawn with a fluorescent paint that emits fluorescence upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays, is attached to the inner surface of the ceiling, A bathroom directing device characterized in that a near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp for irradiating near-ultraviolet rays is attached to a bathroom.

The sheet may be attached to the inner surface of the ceiling.

The ceiling was formed into a substantially dome shape, and the near-ultraviolet ray irradiation lamp was attached near both ends of the ceiling.

It is preferable to dispose a reflection plate on the back side of the near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp.

A blinking control means for blinking the near-ultraviolet ray irradiation lamp is provided.

Further, an illuminating lamp and a changeover switch for switching between the illuminating lamp and the near-ultraviolet ray irradiating lamp are arranged in the bathroom, and a switch is made by fluorescent paint on or around the operation surface of the changeover switch. The near-ultraviolet ray irradiating lamp is arranged so as to represent the position display section and irradiate this switch position display section with near-ultraviolet rays.

Further, a main switch is disposed near the entrance of the bathroom, and a lighting control means is provided for lighting the main switch with priority over the near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp when the main switch is operated for lighting.

[0012]

[Function] The near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp installed in the bathroom irradiates the seat with near-ultraviolet rays. The pattern drawn with fluorescent paint on the sheet emits fluorescence by near-ultraviolet rays. Thereby, the ceiling of the bathroom is rendered.

The sheet is easily attached to the inner surface of the ceiling by sticking.

Since the ceiling formed in a substantially dome shape has a depth, it gives a feeling of liberation and enhances the effect of production.

The reflector arranged on the back side of the near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp efficiently reflects the near-ultraviolet rays emitted from the near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp by the reflector. Therefore, the pattern drawn with the fluorescent paint shines clearly.

The pattern drawn with the fluorescent paint on the sheet shines brightly due to the near-ultraviolet rays that are intermittently irradiated, and enhances the effect of production.

By operating the changeover switch in the bathroom, the illumination lamp and the near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp can be arbitrarily switched on and off. While the near-ultraviolet irradiation lamp is lit, the position of the changeover switch is illuminated with near-ultraviolet light and thus fluorescent display is performed, so that the switch operation is easy even when the bathroom is dark.

When the main switch is turned on, only the lamp is turned on. Then, by operating the changeover switch, the illumination lamp and the near-ultraviolet ray irradiation lamp can be switched on. For this reason, even if the bathroom is dark, the illumination lamp is preferentially turned on when the main switch near the entrance of the bathroom is turned on, so that it is easy to enter the bathroom.
