Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved structure for attaching socket fittings for fixing a socket for attaching a fluorescent lamp to both ends of a gutter-shaped appliance body.

Fluorescent light fixtures are made by attaching socket mounting brackets with fixed sockets for attaching the fluorescent light to both ends of the gutter-shaped fixture body that houses the ballast and wiring parts for lighting the fluorescent light, and also attaching a reflector plate. Widely and commonly used. Conventionally, in such fluorescent lighting equipment, the socket mounting bracket that is attached to the gutter-shaped fixture body is generally not structured to be directly attached to the fixture body; for example, a socket mounting bracket that is fixed to the fixture body Since the socket mounting plate was attached movably and fixedly to the socket using separate mounting brackets, it had the disadvantage that it required a large number of parts and was time-consuming to assemble. Also, recently, structures have been proposed in which the socket mounting bracket is directly attached to the main body of the device, but all of them have the disadvantage that the structure is complicated and cannot be fixed securely.

This invention was devised in view of the above points,
It can be easily and reliably attached to the instrument body without using separate attachment fittings or attachment devices. The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a socket mounting fitting.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a socket fitting 2 is attached to a gutter-shaped instrument body 1 according to the present invention. In the socket mounting holes 3a and 3b of the socket mounting bracket 2, there are sockets 4 for attaching a fluorescent lamp, as shown by chain lines.
a, 4b are fixed, and the socket mounting bracket 2 has a reflector plate 5 that covers the instrument body 1 through screw holes 6a, 6b.
It will be screwed using. Figure 2 shows
Socket mounting bracket 2 and corresponding appliance body 1
FIG. A substantially rectangular through hole 7 is provided in the center of a plate-shaped socket mounting fitting 2 having a pair of socket mounting holes 3a and 3b. A flange portion 8 is formed from the edge of the through hole 7 near the center of the instrument to both side edges thereof, and integrally with the flange portion 8, a pair of rising portions 9a,
9b is formed. These rising portions 9a, 9b
A part of the is bent outward to form claw-like parts 10a, 10b.
It is as follows. Further, the rising portions 10a, 10 are provided at the end of the socket mounting bracket 2 near the center of the device.
A pair of protrusions 11a and 11b are formed with an interval wider than the interval b, and a positioning part 12 with respect to the instrument body is formed by bending the end of the socket fitting 2 closer to the instrument end. There is. 13a and 13b are cover pieces for covering the bottom of the socket, 6a and 6b are screw holes for fixing the reflector, and 14a and 14b are screw holes for completely fixing the socket mounting bracket 2 to the instrument body 1. This is for inserting and caulking the cut-and-raised piece (not shown) provided in 1. On the other hand, the gutter-shaped device main body 1 has side walls 15a, 1
5b, the claw-like portion 10a of the socket mounting fitting 2;
In addition to providing through holes 16a and 16b corresponding to the holes 10b, the side wall 1 may be formed if necessary to increase mechanical strength.
The upper edges of 5a and 15b are curled. and,
When attaching the socket fitting 2 to such a device main body 1, insert the side walls 15a, 15b of the device main body 1 between the rising portions 9a, 9b and the projections 11a, 11b of the socket fitting 2, and insert the side walls 15a, 15b into the side walls. The claw-like portions 10a, 10b provided on the rising portions 9a, 9b may be fitted into the formed through holes 16a, 16b. In this case, the rising portions 9a, 9
Since b is reinforced by the flange portion 8, it will not be displaced. Furthermore, if the claw-shaped parts 10a and 10b are fitted into the through holes 16a and 16b when the end part 17 of the device body 1 comes into contact with the positioning part 12 of the socket fitting 2, the assembly work can be made very easy. Become. Needless to say, in order to obtain such an effect, the width of the positioning portion 12 must be made slightly wider than the width of the instrument body 1. Note that when using such a socket mounting bracket, the width of the device body 1 does not change, but the socket mounting holes 3a, 3
There are cases where it is desired to change the width of the reflector and the mounting holes 6a and 6b of the reflector depending on the type of equipment. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 4, the distance between the socket mounting brackets 3a, 3b and the mounting holes 6a, 6b of the reflector plate can be narrowed by bending the socket mounting bracket 2 in steps outside the projections 11a, 11b. can do.

As is clear from the above description, the structure of the present invention is such that the socket mounting bracket is directly fixed to the lamp body, so there is no need for a separate mounting bracket, and the number of parts is small, making it economical. In addition, during assembly, all you have to do is insert the side wall of the device body between the rising part and the protruding part of the socket mounting bracket, and fit the claw-like part into the through hole provided in the same side wall, making the assembly process simple and easy. You can definitely do it. The above-mentioned assembly work can be performed even more easily by the positioning portion provided on the socket fitting. Furthermore, by bending a part of the socket fitting into a stepped shape, it can be applied to many types of appliances.
