Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To combine functions of a bookshelf and a lighting device together along with a consistent styling design without greatly reducing capacity for holding books or the like by making a main part with approximately the same thickness as that of a partition board of the bookshelf and attaching the main part in surface contact to a side board of the bookshelf. SOLUTION: A main part 4 of a lighting device 1 is disposed parallel to partition boards 20 to define spaces for holding books or the like between the adjacent boards 20. Here, the part 4 is made approximately in the same shape as that of the partition board 20 in side view and with approximately the same lateral width (thickness) in front view, or within several times the thickness of the board 20 at the greatest. Also it is arranged that the part 4 may be attached to the side of the board 20 in a surface contact state. In this way, even though the lighting device is attached to a bookshelf 2, the part 4 may serve both functions of supporting a lamp unit in the lighting device 1 and partition in the bookshelf without greatly reducing the capacity for holding books or the like to combine functions of the bookshelf and the lighting device together along with a consistent styling design.

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting device for a bookshelf and a bookshelf with a lighting device, and more particularly to a lighting device for a bookshelf and a bookshelf with a lighting device in which the main body of the lighting device can be used as a partition member of the bookshelf.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of lighting devices that can be attached to a bookshelf such as a desk shelf have been provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, there is provided a bookcase 100 to which a lighting device 200 can be attached later. This bookcase 1
00 is a shelf plate 102 and a back plate 1 between the side plates 101, 101.
03 is fixed, and a plurality of partition plates 104, ...
Generally, a structure in which is fixed at a predetermined interval is fixed. In addition, the lighting device 200 includes an arm 2 on the main body 201.
Generally, the structure is such that 02 is attached so as to be rotatable or bendable, and a lamp 203 such as a fluorescent lamp is attached to the free end of the arm 202. Therefore, when the lighting device 200 is mounted on the bookshelf 100, the main body 201 is placed on the upper surface of the shelf plate 102 between the adjacent partition plates 104 and 104 or between the side plates 101 and 104. The main body 201 is attached to the shelf plate 102 by an appropriate fixing means such as a clamp.

However, the main body 2 of the conventional lighting device 200
In No. 01, the mounting area is set wide to improve stability, that is, the lateral width of the main body 201 in front view is set to be relatively large. Therefore, when the lighting device 200 is attached to the bookcase 100, the partition plate Between 104 and 104 or side plate 1
One of the plurality of storage spaces between 01 and the partition plate 104 is occupied for mounting the lighting device 200, and there is a problem that the storage amount of books and the like is significantly reduced. Further, if a book or the like is forcibly stored between the partition plate 104 and the main body 201, the book or the like may be damaged by the main body 201. Furthermore, there is a drawback that the design of the bookcase 100 and the lighting device 200 cannot be unified.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention is to solve the problem that the storage amount of books and the like in the bookshelf is greatly reduced even when the lighting device is attached to the bookshelf. In other words, the present invention is to provide a bookcase lighting device and a bookcase with a lighting device that can combine the functions of the bookcase and the lighting device, and can also unify the design.

[0005]

According to the present invention, when a main body of an illuminating device is formed flat in a front view and the main body is attached to a bookcase, the main body is a side plate member or a partition member of the bookcase. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the above-mentioned problem is solved. That is, by making the main body of the illuminating device have the same thickness as the partition plate of the bookshelf, the main body can be used as a partitioning member similar to the partitioning plate, and a book or the like can be stored in the bookshelf. Minimize the reduction in volume. Further, by overlapping the main body of the lighting device with the side plate of the bookshelf and attaching the same, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the storage amount of books and the like to the minimum as in the above.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a flat main body which can be mounted parallel to a side plate or a partition plate of a bookcase, an arm supported by the main body, and a free end of the arm are attached. A lighting device for a bookshelf including a lamp.

Further, according to the present invention, a bookcase provided with a shelf board, a backboard, and a partition board as necessary between both side plates, a main body which is flat in front view, an arm supported by the main body, and A bookcase with a lighting device, in which a lighting device having a lamp attached to a free end of an arm is mounted such that the main body is parallel to a side plate or a partition plate of the bookcase.

In the bookcase with a lighting device, the main body is independently raised in a proper place between both side plates of the bookcase,
It is preferable that the main body portion is used as a side plate member or a partition member between the both side plates of the bookshelf and is attached to the side plate or the partition plate in a superposed state so as to overlap.
