Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field> This invention relates to a hanging lighting fixture used for decoration, etc., and particularly relates to a hanging lighting fixture for decoration that is composed of a plurality of lighting units.

<Prior Art and Its Disadvantages> There is a decorative hanging lighting fixture that is suspended from a ceiling or the like and is constructed by connecting a plurality of lighting units.
Conventionally, when installing the above-mentioned decorative hanging lighting equipment, a double work has been carried out: connecting or supporting the lighting unit using a hook or the like, and then performing electrical wiring. Furthermore, the work is complicated, such as screwing.
This is a very labor-intensive task, especially for lighting fixtures made up of a large number of lighting units. Further, for the same reason, changing the combination of the lighting units or cleaning the lighting equipment is also complicated and requires a long time. Furthermore, there is no compactly molded member or metal fitting that connects each lighting unit, and there is a problem in that these connecting parts come into contact with the worker or other lighting units during the above work, reducing work efficiency. Many of these lamps have complicated shapes, and the molding process is complicated, resulting in an increase in the cost of the lighting equipment.

<Purpose of the invention> In view of the above-mentioned conventional inconveniences, this invention has been developed so that the work of connecting lighting units also serves as the work of electrical wiring, and the work is extremely simple.In addition, the combination can be easily changed after connection. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative hanging lighting fixture that can improve workability and reduce costs by making the hanging part compact and easily moldable.

<Structure and Effects of the Invention> This invention provides a lighting unit with two hanging members made of a conductor and a light bulb with an electrode wire connected to the hanging members, and the two hanging members. At both ends of the member, vertically symmetrical hanging parts are formed, and at both ends of the lighting unit, the respective hanging parts of the two hanging members are disposed at different vertically different positions on the same plane. It is characterized in that the upper hook part of one lighting unit is hooked to the lower hook part of the other lighting unit located above it.

By configuring as described above, according to this invention, the work of connecting the lighting units constituting the lighting equipment also serves as the work of electrical wiring, and the work of arranging, changing combinations, cleaning, etc. can be easily performed. Furthermore, the hanging part of each lighting unit can be made into a compact and easily moldable shape, which improves work efficiency, requires less packaging volume, and reduces costs. .

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 is an external view of one lighting unit constituting a decorative hanging lighting fixture which is an embodiment of this invention.

One lighting unit is composed of two hanging members 1 and 2, fixing members 5a and 5b, and a light bulb 3. The latching members 1 and 2 are made of a conductive material, and have upper latching parts 1a and 2a and lower latching parts 1 located on the same plane at both ends.
b, 2b are formed. The fixing members 5a and 5b are made of an insulating material, and fix the two hooking members so that they do not come into contact with each other. Also, the two electrode wires 3a and 3 of the light bulb 3
b are connected to the hooking members 1 and 2, respectively. The upper hanging part 1a of the hanging member 1 is formed by bending the ends of the hanging member at 90 degrees at two places. The lower hooking portion 1b is formed by bending the lower end of the hooking member 1 into a shape symmetrical to the upper hooking portion 1a. Furthermore, in the hanging member 1,
The distance between the upper hooking portion 1a and the fixing member 5a is approximately half the distance between the lower hooking portion 1b and the fixing member 5b. Further, the hanging member 2 has a conductor molded in the same shape as the hanging member 1, and is arranged to face the hanging member 1 in a vertically opposite manner. As a result, the upper and lower hanging members in one lighting unit are shaped symmetrically with respect to the center point of the lighting unit. When connecting the lighting units configured as described above, by rotating the lower lighting unit by 90 degrees with respect to the upper lighting unit, the lower hooking parts 1b and 2b of the upper lighting unit can be connected. The upper latching parts 1a, 2a of the lower lighting unit can be latched.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing one example of the configuration of a decorative hanging lighting fixture that is an embodiment of this invention.

A voltage (approximately 12 V is considered appropriate) is supplied to the latching metal fittings 7 and 8 of the latching device 6 attached to the ceiling from a power source (not shown). Lighting units A, B, and C shown in FIG. 1 are connected and hung on the above-mentioned latching fittings 7 and 8. By latching the upper latching parts 1a and 2a of the lighting unit A to the latching fittings 7 and 8, current is supplied to the light bulb 3 of the lighting unit A to light it, and the lower latching parts 1b, Lead the power supply voltage to 2b.
As a result, the electric current is similarly supplied to the light bulb 3 of the lighting unit B, which is connected by hooking the upper hooking parts 1a and 2a to the lower hooking parts 1b and 2b of the lighting unit A, and lights up. A power supply voltage is introduced to the stop portions 1b and 2b. As described above, the power supply voltage supplied to the latches 7 and 8 is conducted through the latching members of each lighting unit, and supplies current to the light bulbs of all connected lighting units to light them. It is possible to do so.

As mentioned above, by providing hooks at both ends of the conductors that make up each lighting unit, it is easy to connect them to form a lighting fixture, and the above connection process also simplifies electrical wiring work. Since it also serves as a decorative hanging lighting fixture, the installation work of the decorative hanging lighting fixture can be extremely simplified. Furthermore, since the latching parts formed at both ends of the latching members have the same shape, the manufacturing process of the lighting unit is simplified and costs can be reduced. By configuring them to be shifted up and down and positioning each of the hanging members on the same plane, the shape of the hanging part of the lighting unit can be made compact.
It becomes possible to improve work efficiency. Furthermore, the packaging volume can be reduced.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to change the illumination light of a decorative hanging lighting fixture by covering the lighting unit with a translucent globe 9 or by inserting a spacer 10 between the lighting units. be. In addition, as shown in FIG.
a', 1b', and 2b' are molded in a vertically rotationally symmetrical shape, and another shape is molded in which the respective hanging parts of the two hanging members 1' and 2' are arranged at different positions vertically. It is also possible.
