Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the fluorescent lamp changing work by forming a lighting system of a main body and a cover fitted to the main body, and providing the cover with a fitting for fluorescent lamp and an electrifying socket. SOLUTION: A peripheral edge of a side wall 12a of a box-shaped cover 12 is provided with a recessed part 12, which are swelled outside, and on the other hand, a peripheral edge of a main body 11 is provided with a projecting part 11a. The recessed part 12b is elastically fitted on the projecting part 11a so that the cover 12 can be fitted to the main body 11 freely to be removed. Three lines of fluorescent lamps 13 are arranged inside of the cover 12, and fitted to each fitting 14 provided close to both ends of a top plate 12c. Since the fitting 14 is formed into a tulip-shape, the fluorescent lamp 13 can be easily fitted for fixation by utilizing the elasticity so as to push the fluorescent lamp 13 from an opening side. At the time of changing the fluorescent lamp 13, when a side of the cover 12 opposite to a hinge side is pulled, the cover 12 is easily opened, and change of the fluorescent lamp 13 is facilitated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting device for a fluorescent lamp directly mounted on a ceiling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A lighting device for a fluorescent lamp, which is directly mounted on a ceiling of a building such as a house, is mainly composed of a main body and a cover, and a mounting bracket for the fluorescent lamp and a socket for electricity supply are provided on the main body. Is provided. Therefore, when replacing the fluorescent lamp after its life has expired, once remove the cover from the main body,
The fluorescent lamp fixed to the main body is removed and replaced with a new one.

[0003]

However, in the case of a structure in which the mounting bracket of the fluorescent lamp and the socket for energizing are provided in the main body portion as described above, the fluorescent lamp near the ceiling is almost used by using a stepping board. Must be done facing up, which is not an easy task for housewives at home.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to easily and easily replace a fluorescent lamp. An apparatus is provided.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided an illuminating device for a fluorescent lamp which is directly mounted on a ceiling. The illuminating device includes a main body and a cover attached to the main body. Wherein the cover is provided with a fitting for a fluorescent lamp and a socket for energization.

[0006]

The lighting device according to the present invention comprises a main body and a cover attached to the main body. Since the cover is provided with a fluorescent lamp mounting bracket and a current-carrying socket. The fluorescent lamp can be easily and easily replaced at a low position by removing the cover portion from the main body portion or opening the cover portion so as to hang down from the main body portion.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the lighting device of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a lighting device mounted on a ceiling 1 of a room in a building. The lighting device 10 includes a main body 11 and a cover 12 attached to the main body 11.

A recess 12b bulging outward is provided on the periphery of the side wall 12a of the box-shaped cover portion 12, while a protrusion 11a is provided on the periphery of the main body 11. Therefore, the cover portion 12 can be detachably attached to the main body portion 11 by elastically fitting the concave portion 12b of the cover portion 12 to the convex portion 11a of the main body portion 11.

The internal structure of the cover 12 is as shown in FIG. That is, inside the cover part 12,
Fluorescent lamps 14 are arranged in three rows, and are fitted and attached to mounting brackets 14, 14 provided near both ends of the top plate 12c.

Since the mounting brackets 14 are tulip-shaped, they can be easily fitted and fixed by utilizing the elasticity by pushing the fluorescent lamp 13 from the opening side. Further, the fluorescent lamp 13 can be easily removed by pulling it in the reverse operation.

A socket 16 (not shown in FIG. 2) for connecting a current-carrying terminal at both ends of the fluorescent lamp 13 is provided at an inner end of the cover portion 12.
It can be set at the same time when the is installed. As shown in FIG. 4, the socket 16 is of a conventional art, and the fluorescent lamp 13 can be attached and detached in a conventional manner.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of use of the lighting device of the present invention. The lighting device 10 shown in FIG.
And one side of the cover portion 12 are rotatably connected by a hinge 15. Therefore, when replacing the fluorescent lamp 13,
By pulling the cover portion 12 on the side opposite to the hinge 15, the cover portion 12 can be easily opened, and the cover portion 12 can be in a state of hanging down from the main body portion 11.

[0013] With the cover portion 12 opened in this way, ride on a chair or the like, and place the fluorescent lamp 1 approximately at eye level.
3 replacement work can be performed. In other words, in the past, it was necessary to replace the fluorescent lamp attached to the main body attached to the ceiling surface with the face facing upward, with the hand extended upward, and in an unreasonable posture. However, in the lighting device 10 of the present invention, this is not necessary, and the lighting device 10 can be easily performed in the above-described comfortable posture.

In the above embodiment, the wiring of the power cord is not shown, but, for example, from the end of the main body 11,
The wiring can be conducted from the periphery of the hinge 15 into the cover portion 12.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, one side of the cover portion 12 is connected to the main body portion 11 by the hinge 15, but the cover portion 12 is completely detached from the main body portion 11. It is also possible. In this case, it is only necessary to connect the middle of the power cord with a plug / outlet, and the cover 12 can be removed, so that the fluorescent lamp 13 can be replaced more easily.

[0016]

The lighting device according to the present invention comprises a main body and a cover attached to the main body. The cover is provided with a fitting for a fluorescent lamp and a socket for energization. Therefore, it is possible to easily and easily replace the fluorescent lamp at a low position by removing the cover portion from the main body portion or opening the cover portion so as to hang down from the main body portion. Therefore, it is suitably used as a lighting device.
