BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show a light bulb attachment / detachment tool of the present embodiment, wherein FIG. 3A is a plan view, FIG. 2B is an enlarged sectional view of a main part, FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of a main part showing a state where a light bulb is mounted on a light bulb mounting part.

As shown in FIG. 1, the light bulb attaching / detaching tool according to the present embodiment includes a light bulb attaching portion 1 attached to a tip of a pole 10 and a light bulb 12 attached to a high place and detached from a floor. It is a detachable tool.

The light bulb attachment / detachment tool of this embodiment will be described in more detail. In FIG. 1, the bulb mounting part 1 has a bowl-shaped bulb gripping part 2 made of a cushion material such as sponge and soft rubber at a lower part. Several air vent holes 3 are appropriately formed in the bulb gripping portion 2.

A cylindrical main body 4 made of a transparent hard plastic is attached to the upper end of the bulb gripping section 2. A cap 5 is provided at the upper end of the main body 4.
Is attached. The cap portion 5 is made of a flexible member such as hard rubber, and has a hole 5a formed in the center. The cross-section is an arcuate portion 6 with a raised center as shown in FIG. And a shape in which the cut 13 is formed in the radial direction.

In the center of the lower part of the bulb gripping part 2, a joint 8 integral with the bulb gripping part 2 (another hard member may be attached) is provided. The upper end of the pole 10 is joined to the joint 8 via a flexible connection member 9 such as a coil spring.

The pole 10 is composed of an upper pole 10a and a lower pole 10b, which are connected by a connecting portion 10c (screw or fit type), and the upper pole 10a has a telescopic function. Lower pole 10
A grip portion 11 is provided on b as required.

Next, a description will be given of how to use the light bulb attaching / detaching tool having the above structure. In order to remove a cut light bulb 12 attached to a high place (an unusable light bulb 12), the light bulb mounting part 1 is inserted from directly below the light bulb 12, and the cap part 5 is deformed while the light bulb 12 is mounted. Fig. 3
As shown in the figure, the tip of the bulb 12 is held by the elasticity of the bulb grasping portion 2 and the neck portion 12b of the lower part of the base 12a is placed around the hole 5a of the cap portion 5 as shown in FIG. It is in a state of being held by the formed curved portion 7.

In this state, the pole 10 is rotated and the bulb 1 is rotated.
Turn 2 to remove it from the socket, and lower the pole 10 while tilting it. At this time, the bulb 12 also tilts, but the cap portion 5
There is no danger of falling.

Then, the cut light bulb 12 is taken out of the light bulb mounting part 1, and a new light bulb 12 is set in the light bulb mounting part 1 as shown in FIG. At this time, centering is performed by holding the neck portion 12b of the bulb 12 with the curved portion 7 of the cap portion 5, and the base 12a is automatically positioned on the center line of the bulb mounting portion 1.

In this state, the user again holds the pole 10 and raises the bulb mounting portion 1 so that the socket 12a of the bulb 12 is inserted into the socket.
Then, the pole 10 is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction of the removal, and the base 12a is screwed. At this time, the base 12a
Must be parallel to the socket, but pole 1
It is difficult to locate 0 directly below the socket in parallel with the socket, and it is unavoidable that it is slightly inclined. Even in this case, as long as the base 12a is fitted in the socket, the flexible connection member 9 absorbs the inclination of the pole 10, and the light bulb mounting portion 1 and the light bulb 12 can be rotated while being kept vertical.

The transparent main body 4 allows the user to check whether or not a new bulb 12 is mounted and turned on from outside the bulb mounting section 1. When the light bulb attachment / detachment is not used, the upper pole 10a can be reduced and divided from the connection portion 10c to be compactly stored.

The light bulb attachment / detachment tool of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without changing the gist of the present invention. For example, the main body 4 may be formed of an opaque hard member, and a hole through which light leaks may be formed around the main body 4. Further, the lower surface of the main body 4 is formed in a bowl shape so as to cover the entire outside of the bulb grasping section 2. The shape may be changed.

Further, if necessary, the bulb mounting portion 1 is configured to be detachable from the pole 10, and a plurality of types having different sizes are prepared, and can be replaced according to the type of the bulb. Such a configuration is also possible.

[0023]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the light bulb attaching / detaching tool of the present invention, a light bulb mounted at a high place can be safely and reliably attached to and detached from a floor, and can be attached to a pole. Since the light bulb mounting part is formed with a cushion-like light bulb gripping part, it can be surely gripped and rotated without damaging the light bulb, and
The center of the bulb can be aligned with the hole of the cap portion and screwed into the socket without fail, and the bulb can be prevented from dropping, so that a highly safe bulb mounting / removing tool can be provided.
