JPH10211085A - Small votive light for altar - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easily handledable small votive light without requiring a power source cord, by equipping a cell and a small light connected to the cell. SOLUTION: An attaching unit 20 to be attached on a ring light as a small votive light is equipped with a high brightness light emitting diode 22 in a transparent resin body 21 in a shape resembled to the shape of small flame and a cell 24 inside and a switch 25 on the back side. When the switch 25 is turned on, the high brightness light emitting diode 22 illuminates to brighten the flame resembled transparent resin body 21 to make the same as if small flame is flaring. Generation of heat can be reduced and a light can be lit for a long time by reduced power consumption by using not a filament type bulb but a light emitting diode 22. Since a high brightness light emitting diode 22 is used, the light is made brighter and, as a result, an electric small safe votive light can be provided without requiring a power source cord.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a small lamp such as a ring lamp provided on an altar such as a temple or a household altar.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Small lamps originally provided on altars such as temples and household altars are of a type such as a lantern or a lantern, or a type such as a candle. There is. These small lamps originally used wax or kerosene as fuel, but in order to save the trouble of replacement and replacement, and to eliminate the danger of fire, electric lighting with a built-in small lamp has been adopted. It is changing. Therefore, the power cord is pulled from the outlet and turned on. In some cases, a configuration is also known in which a commercial power supply of 100 VAC is once converted to a low voltage and turned on.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional small lamp of the electric lighting type, a power cord is essential regardless of whether it is 100 volts AC or a low voltage. There is a problem that the surroundings of the Buddhist altar, which should have a solemn atmosphere, are not clear. Such power cords can be installed in, for example, a hanging device for a ring lamp, but for that purpose, the hanging device must be made thicker, which is undesirable in terms of design, assembling and replacement. Is inconvenient.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a small lamp that does not require a power cord as described above without using a candle or the like.

[0005]

According to claim 1 of the present invention,
A small lamp to be arranged on an altar, in which means for providing a battery and a small light connected to the battery are provided. And in Claim 2, it is a small lamp hung on an altar, a battery, a small light connected to the battery,
A means for providing a hanging means is provided.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an altar provided with the small lamp for the altar according to any one of the first and second aspects. The altar in the present invention is not only a Buddhist altar in a temple or a home, but also a sacred place that performs rituals in various religions,
It is not limited to a particular religion (eg Buddhism) or sect. The small lamps for the altar are not limited to ring lamps and lanterns, but include all lights to be provided on the altar.

[0007]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a small altar lamp according to the present invention.

[0008] Reference numeral 1 denotes a general Buddhist altar.
Are suspended in pairs. Generally, Buddhist utensils such as candle holders, incense burners and vases are arranged on the front desk. And in the foreground,
Japanese sansaku and phosphorus are arranged.

The detailed structure of the ring lamp 2 as an embodiment of the small lamp of the present invention is as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and its wiring diagram is as shown in FIG. That is, FIG.
3 has a detachable unit as shown in FIG.
20 are installed. In this detachable unit 20, a high-brightness light emitting diode 22 is disposed inside a transparent resin body 21 having a shape similar to the shape of a small flame, and a battery is provided inside.
24 are arranged. The switch 25 is provided on the back side. The detachable unit 20 is fitted into a concave portion formed in a lower case 23 simulating the kerosene reservoir of the original ring lamp, and the ring lamp 2 is hung in the Buddhist altar by a hanger 26 as a hanger. The hanging fitting 26 can be a sufficiently thin chain or rod.

In the above configuration, when the switch 25 is turned on, the high-brightness light emitting diode 22 emits light, so that the transparent resin body 21 becomes brighter as a whole, and its shape is similar to that of a flame. , As if a small flame was lit. When it is not necessary to turn on the light, the switch 25 may be turned off. When the battery 24 is exhausted, it may be recharged in the case of a rechargeable secondary battery. At this time, the detachable detachable unit may be charged by detaching the detachable unit together with the detachable unit 20 from the ring light 2 and inserting and using another charged detachable unit. in this way,
In order to charge the entire detachable unit, it is natural that the detachable unit is provided with a charging electrode. Alternatively, it is preferable to take out only the battery 24 from the inside and replace it with a charged battery, or in the case of a non-rechargeable primary battery, replace it with a new battery.

As described above, in the altar small lamp of the present invention, since a light emitting diode is used instead of a filament type light bulb, heat generation is small, and the lamp can be lit for a long time with small current consumption. it can. In addition, since a high-intensity light emitting diode is used, it can be lit brightly. Thus, it is possible to provide an electric lighting-type safe small lamp without a power cord.

Not only the lantern 2 but also a lantern 3 and a candle holder 5
In addition, a small altar lamp with a battery and a light emitting diode may be incorporated.

Although a high-brightness light emitting diode is preferable, a normal light emitting diode can be used, and a plurality of light emitting diodes may be provided. In addition, various light emitting elements such as a fluorescent light emitting element and an EL (electroluminescence) element can be used without being limited to the light emitting diode.

[0014]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the small lamp mounted on the altar is provided with the battery and the small light connected to the battery, the small-sized electric lighting type can be used without the power cord. Lighting can be realized. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the small lamp to be hung on the altar is provided with the battery, the small light connected to the battery, and the hanging means,
It can be hung on an altar without using an unsightly power cord. According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide an altar provided with a small lamp that can achieve the above-described effects.
