DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a mounting structure of a lighting cover according to this embodiment.
(B) shows the lighting fixture main body 2 from the front. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a mounting structure of the lighting cover, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the lighting cover 1 as viewed obliquely from above and rearward. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the upper part of the vanity table with the lighting cover 2 attached.

As shown in these figures, in the mounting structure of the lighting cover, the lighting cover 1 is formed in a substantially rectangular box shape whose one surface is open, and the opening of the lighting cover 1 is attached to the lighting fixture body 2. It is attached and fixed. In such a mounting structure of the lighting cover, a pair of ribs 3a and 3b is provided in the lighting fixture body 2, and a gap between the pair of ribs 3a and 3b is defined as a mounting groove 3. It is characterized in that opposite long side edges 1c of the opening of the cover 1 are fitted over substantially the entire length thereof.

That is, in this mounting structure of the lighting cover configured as described above, both long side edges 1c of the opening of the lighting cover 1 facing the mounting groove 3 of the lighting fixture body 2 extend over substantially the entire length thereof. Are fitted. For this reason, even when the shape accuracy of the lighting cover 1 is insufficient, there is a warp, or there is a deformation at the time of mounting,
There is no gap between the two long side edges 1c of the lighting cover 1 and the lighting fixture main body 2, so that the appearance is comfortable. In particular, this lighting cover 1 has an elongated shape and a long end 1c.
Is likely to be out of shape.

The following is a more detailed description with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 4, the lighting fixture having this lighting cover mounting structure is provided at the upper end of the makeup mirror 5 which is the upper end of the vanity stand, and the lighting cover 1 is projected forward, and Mounted in the direction.

Note that such a mounting structure of the lighting cover may be used for various furniture or lighting fixtures provided on a wall surface, a ceiling surface, and the like in addition to the bathroom vanity.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the illumination cover 1 is made of acrylic resin or the like, has a substantially flat upper surface, protrudes substantially horizontally forward, and projects from the upper surface. It has a smooth curved surface from its part, is formed in a shape that hangs obliquely downward, and is formed in a substantially rectangular box shape that covers both end surfaces.

As shown in FIG. 3, a flange 1a is formed around the opening of the lighting cover 1 so as to be in contact with the base 2a of the lighting fixture body 2. In addition, the long side end 1c protrudes rearward from the flange 1a. Plate-shaped magnet pieces are attached as magnet bodies 4 to the outer surfaces of the flange portions 1a at both ends of the lighting cover 1. The base 2a of the lighting fixture body 2 is made of a material that can be attracted to the magnet body 4.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the iron plate 2d is attached so as to correspond to the position of the magnet body 4 so as to be attracted to the magnet body 4. Therefore, by bringing the flange portion 1a of the lighting cover 1 into contact with the base 2a of the lighting fixture main body 2, the lighting cover 1 is held on the lighting fixture main body 2 by the magnet body 4 without rattling. That is, in addition to holding the long side end 1c of the lighting cover 1 in the mounting groove 3 formed as a gap between the ribs 3a and 3b, the lighting cover 1 is more firmly held.

Further, as shown in FIG.
The base 2a is provided with a linear lamp mounting portion 2b, and a linear fluorescent lamp 2c is mounted on the lamp mounting portion 2b so as to protrude toward the front side.

As shown in FIG. 3, a cut-out portion 1b into which the lamp mounting portion 2b is fitted is formed in the flange portion 1a of the illumination cover 1. Therefore, when such a lighting cover 1 is attached to the lighting fixture main body 2, the notch 1b formed in the flange portion 1a of the lighting cover 1 is fitted with the lamp mounting portion 2b of the lighting fixture main body 2. It is in a state, and it is in a stable state that fits well.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pair of ribs 3a and 3b is a rod-shaped member having a substantially U-shaped cross section and the base 2a of the lighting fixture body 2.
It is formed by attaching to.

Then, as shown in FIG.
The rib 3a located on the inner surface side is made to protrude more than the rib 3b on the outer surface paired with the rib 3a.

According to such a mounting structure of the lighting cover, the inner surface of the long side end 1c of the lighting cover 1 is brought into contact with the rib 3a located on the inner surface of the lighting cover 1 while sliding in this state. The long side end 1c can be fitted into the mounting groove 3, which is a gap between the ribs 3a and 3b.

As described above, the inner surface of the long side end 1c of the lighting cover 1 can be brought into contact with the rib 3a by pressing the opening of the lighting cover 1 in a direction of compressing and shrinking. In other words, grasp this lighting cover 1 from the front,
By pushing both long side edges 1c into the mounting grooves 3 while compressing the upper and lower surfaces of the lighting cover 1, the lighting cover 1 can be easily mounted on the lighting fixture body 2.

[0028]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, opposite long sides of the opening of the lighting cover are fitted into the mounting groove of the lighting fixture main body over substantially the entire length thereof. Therefore, even if the shape accuracy of the lighting cover is insufficient or there is a deformation at the time of mounting, a gap cannot be formed between the ends of the long sides of the lighting cover and the lighting fixture body. Therefore, the lighting cover has a mounting structure in which the lighting cover can be mounted with good appearance.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the inner side of the long side end of the lighting cover is brought into contact with the rib located on the inner side of the lighting cover, and the long side end is slid while sliding in this state. Can be fitted into the mounting groove, which is a gap between the two. In this case, the light cover can be fitted by sliding the long side end using the longer rib as a guide while pressing the opening of the light cover in the direction of compressing and contracting, so that the light cover can be easily attached. it can.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the illumination cover is easily held in one-touch without any backlash by the magnet by the magnet body by abutting the flange portion of the illumination cover on the base of the illumination device main body. .

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the lamp mounting portion of the lighting fixture main body is fitted into the notch formed in the flange portion of the lighting cover, so that the lighting can be fitted and stable. A cover is attached to the lighting fixture body.
