Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emergency light (including a standing light, a flashlight, and a security light) having a function of detecting an earthquake shake and lighting it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an emergency light or a security light that is lit when a power failure occurs due to an earthquake at night, for example, plus and minus terminals provided at intervals in a lamp body, and these terminals are electrically connected to each other. A switch terminal piece for
The switch button which has this switch terminal piece and which is housed in the lamp body so that the tip end goes out of the outside of the lamp body, and the switch button in the protruding direction to make both terminals conductive through the switch terminal piece. And a biasing means for biasing (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-212803, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-78501, Utility Model Registration No. 3).
274434).

[0003] Such an emergency light is usually set by pushing the switch button by its own weight by standing the lamp body on a table or other flat place with the projection of the switch button facing downward. In this case, when the lamp body falls over due to the earthquake, the switch terminal piece moves together with the switch button by the urging means to make the plus and minus terminals conductive, whereby the lamp of the lamp body is turned on.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional emergency light, the light is turned on only when the lamp body falls down, so that a failure such as a breakage of the light when the lamp body falls down is likely to occur, and at the same time, the shaking of the lamp may occur. Since it is necessary to narrow the mounting surface of the lamp body for improving the detection sensitivity and make it easier to fall down, there is a drawback that it can be applied only to a relatively thin flashlight type.

On the other hand, in order to solve such inconvenience, it is conceivable that the lamp body is placed with the projection of the switch button facing upward, and a weight is placed on the projection of the switch button (see FIG. 1). For example, Japanese Utility Model Application 57-7850
No. 1 (see FIG. 3). However, with such means,
The work of setting the weight on the protruding part of the switch button itself is extremely complicated, and if the weight falls due to force majeure other than an earthquake, the light will remain on and the battery will be consumed quickly. Become.

In view of such circumstances, the present invention enables the switch button to be set to the off state by a simple operation without using the lamp body by overturning or weighting, thereby causing failure of the lamp or early consumption of the battery. The purpose is to be able to prevent.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object,
The present invention has taken the following technical measures. That is, the present invention provides a plus terminal and a minus terminal provided at intervals in a lamp body, a switch terminal piece for electrically connecting the two terminals to each other, a switch terminal piece having the switch terminal piece, and a tip end portion of the lamp. A switch button housed inside the lamp body so as to move out and out of the body, and biasing means for biasing the switch button in a protruding direction so as to make the two terminals conductive through the switch terminal piece. In an emergency light comprising: a holding member for holding the switch button in the immersion state, and a release unit for releasing the holding of the switch button by the holding member in response to the shaking of the earthquake, in the lamp body. It is provided.

According to the present invention, since the holding member holds the switch button in a submerged state, it is only necessary to push the projecting portion of the switch button projecting from a portion other than the mounting surface of the lamp body into the interior, so that the emergency operation is performed. Lights can be set. Then, when the earthquake occurs and the emergency light shakes, the release means releases the holding of the switch button by the holding member, and the urging means causes the switch button to protrude to the outside of the lamp body and at the same time via the switch terminal piece. The plus and minus terminals are electrically connected to each other, thereby turning on the electric lamp (bulb) in the lamp body.

As described above, according to the present invention, the emergency light can be set only by pushing the projecting portion of the switch button into the inside, and the switch button can be set to the off state without using the fall or weight of the light body. be able to. In the present invention described above, more specifically, the holding member is provided so as to be movable in a direction intersecting the retreating direction of the switch button so as to be engaged with and disengaged from a side portion of the switch button. The one provided with the second urging means for urging in the direction to be engaged with the switch button can be adopted.

The release means may be provided with an inertia member for releasing the engagement with the switch button by applying an inertia force accompanying the shaking of the earthquake to the holding member. Then, in this case, the release unit includes a first release unit that releases the holding member from the switch button when the inertia member moves in a direction approaching the switch button, and the inertia member approaches the switch button. And a second release portion that releases the holding member from the switch button when the holding member moves in the direction.

In this case, the holding member can be released from the switch button even if the inertia member moves toward or away from the switch button, so that the shaking at the time of the occurrence of the earthquake can be reliably detected. The sensitivity can be improved. Further, in the present invention described above, the lamp body includes a plurality of mounting surfaces, and the switch button is provided on one of the plurality of mounting surfaces so as to be able to move back and forth. Emergency lights can be set to detect shaking during an earthquake by placing it sideways,
By placing the switch button downward, an emergency light can be set so as not to detect shaking during an earthquake.
