DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting device,
In particular, the present invention relates to a lighting device including a fixture main body to which a fluorescent lamp is attached, a support member that supports the fixture main body and is attached to a predetermined attachment position, and a wiring extracted from the fixture main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Lighting equipment using fluorescent lamps is used for ceiling lighting, shelf lighting, showcase lighting and the like.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing the structure of a lighting fixture for shelf lighting, and FIG. 8 is a view showing a state where the lighting fixture is mounted on a support.

[0004] In FIG. 7, reference numeral 101 denotes an instrument body to which a fluorescent lamp is attached, and 102 a and 102 b denote instrument bodies 10.
1 is a slidable arm in the longitudinal direction of the instrument body 101 with respect to a groove provided on a side surface of the instrument body 101. The distance between the arm holders 102a and 102b is shown in FIG.
Are set in accordance with the distance between the columns 106a and 106b.

[0005] Also, 103a and 103b are shelf stoppers for setting the position of the shelf 108 in FIG. Reference numerals 104a and 104b denote arm members having a U-shaped cross section. The distal ends of the arm receivers 102a and 102b are inserted and fixed to the ends thereof, and the bracket 105
a and 105b so as to be fixed.
As shown in FIG. 8, the brackets 105a and 105b are attached to predetermined positions of the columns 106a and 106b, respectively. Reference numeral 107 denotes wiring for electrically connecting the instrument body 101 to a power supply, and is connected to an outlet provided in parallel with the support.

[0006]

By the way, in the above-mentioned lighting equipment, the wiring 107 does not interfere with the display of the goods or the like, so that the arm members 104a and 104b and the bracket 1 are used.
It is desirable to wire along the lines 05a and 105b.
For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 9, it has been proposed to provide a storage chamber having a cross section of “□” on the side surface of a “U” -shaped arm member to store wiring.

However, it is necessary to change the wiring in accordance with the distance between the columns, and it is desired that the wiring be easily attached and detached so that the layout can be flexibly changed. The wiring from the appliance body 101 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), since it is common to take out from one of the ends of the instrument main body 101, the storage room provided in the arm member on which the wiring is not attached becomes unnecessary.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided an illuminating apparatus comprising: a luminaire main body to which a fluorescent lamp is mounted; a support member for supporting the luminaire main body and being mounted at a predetermined mounting position;
In the lighting fixture having the wiring taken out from the fixture main body, at least a part of the support member has a columnar shape, and a concave portion or a convex portion is formed along a length direction on a side surface of the columnar portion. And a column-shaped wiring attachment member having a convex portion or a concave portion that can be inserted into the concave portion or the convex portion, and having a storage chamber for storing the wiring.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded view schematically showing a configuration of a lighting apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the supporting member is separated into an arm receiving member (arm receiving member) 3, an arm member 1, and a bracket (arm hanging member) 4 so as to have a configuration suitable for shelf lighting. However, if necessary, the respective members may be integrated, that is, the arm receiver and the arm member, the arm member and the bracket, or the arm receiver, the arm member, the arm member and the bracket may be integrated.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an arm member, and a portion to be mounted on the bracket 4 (region S1 in the figure) has a U-shape, and a portion into which the wiring mounting member 2 is inserted (see FIG. 1). The middle S2 region) has a "C" shape (recess). Then, the wiring attachment member 2 is inserted into the area L2 of the arm member 1.

The material of the wiring mounting member 2 is not particularly limited, but is desirably made of a material having rubber-like elasticity that does not easily damage the wiring. The side of the wire mounting member 2 (the area of S3 in the figure) has a "T" shape (convex portion) so that it can be inserted into the "C" -shaped portion of the arm member 1, and the wire is inserted. It has a “C” shape as possible (S4 in the figure)
Area), the inside of the “C” -shaped portion is a wiring storage chamber. The wiring inserted into the “C” -shaped part of the wiring mounting member 2 is easily inserted or taken out from the opening (the opening of the “C” -shaped part). When the wiring attachment member 2 is made of a material having rubber-like elasticity, the insertion and removal of the wiring become easier. In addition, attachment of the wiring attachment member 2 to the arm member 1 becomes easy. Note that the wiring is not shown in FIG. 1, but as shown in FIGS.
Are accommodated in the "C" -shaped portion along the length direction of the wiring attachment member 2.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an arm receiver, which is attached to the arm member 1 and has a role of supporting the instrument body. Here, a part thereof is inserted into a “U” -shaped part (S5 in the figure) for holding down the instrument main body from above and a part “L” of a “C” -shaped part (S2 in the figure) of the arm member 1. It has an "L" -shaped portion (S6 in the figure).

Since the arm member 1 and the wiring attachment member 2 are detachable, if the wiring is unnecessary, the wiring attachment member 2 does not have to be inserted into the arm member 1, so that the size of the arm member 1 can be reduced.
The weight can be reduced. FIG. 2A is a diagram showing a state in which the arm member 1 and the wiring attachment member 2 are attached. FIG.
(B) and FIG. 2 (c) show modified examples of the arm member 1 and the wiring mounting member 2, and FIG. 2 (b) shows insertion and removal of wiring from and to the wiring mounting member from the top in the figure. , FIG. 2
(C) is a diagram in which the asperities of the joint portions of the arm member 1 and the wiring attachment member 2 are reversed. Note that the “T” shape (projection) of the wiring attachment member 2 does not need to be particularly provided in a linear shape, but may be provided at a plurality of positions (for example, 2a,
It is also possible to provide separately in 2b). The shapes of the concave portion of the arm member 1 and the convex portion of the wiring attachment member 2 are not particularly limited. For example, the concave portion may be a circular opening and the convex portion may be joined at a plurality of locations with an arrow shape.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing an attached state of the arm receiver and the arm member, and FIG. 5 is a plan view and a side view showing the structure of the arm member. Reference numeral 5 in FIG. 4 is a stopper. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIGS. 1 and 2A, the arm member 1 and the bracket 4
Is fixed by pressing the stopper 5 against the bracket 4 from one side of the tapped arm member 1 with a screw 6. In addition, this is performed by screwing the arm member 1 and the arm holder 3 with the screw 7.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the configuration of the instrument main body attached to the arm holder 3. The apparatus main body shown in FIG. 6 includes a fluorescent lamp (not shown), a socket 202 connected to the fluorescent lamp, and a support 201 to which the socket is attached.
In the figure, X is an area where a lighting circuit is inserted. The arm holder 3 is shown in FIG.
The attachment is made from the back side of the instrument body.

The present invention is particularly suitable for use as a lighting device for shelf lighting.
It can also be used as a foot light for corridors, passageways, etc., and a lighting device for ceilings and wall surfaces.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Wiring can be easily attached and detached, and the configuration of the support member can be simplified. Further, since the wiring attachment member can be removed as required, the weight of the support member can be reduced, and the configuration can be simplified.
