Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a holding device for a glass or plastic globe in a lighting fixture such as a chandelier.

[Background technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a globe holding device for a lighting device has a lamp body 2 holding a lamp 1.
An angle 4 having a screw 3 protruding downward from its inner surface is fixed, and a small hole through which the screw 3 is inserted is provided on the surface opposite to the opening of a globe 5 which is made of a translucent material such as glass or plastic and has an opening on one side. , so that the opening of the globe 5 is on the lamp body 2 side and the screw 3 is exposed from the small hole to the outside of the globe.
It is well known to have a structure in which the globe 5 is suspended from the lamp body 2 by abutting the lamp body 2 and screwing a thumbscrew 6 with a decorative outer surface onto the screw 3. However, such a glove holding device has a problem in that the thumbscrew 6 protrudes from approximately the center of the lower surface of the glove 5, making the thumbscrew 6 conspicuous in appearance. If the upper surface of the globe 5 has a flange as shown in FIG. On the inner surface of the lamp body 2, a supporting metal fitting 10 formed in an L-shaped continuous manner using thin sheet metal is screwed onto a thumbscrew 8 to prevent it from coming off. Attach and remove the glove 5 by moving it in and out, and after bringing the glove 5 into contact with the lamp body 2, move the thumbscrew 8 outward along the elongated hole 7, tighten the thumbscrew 8, and pull up the support fitting 10 to remove the glove. 5 is known in which it is fixed by placing it on the collar. In this case, a dimensional allowance is required to move the thumbscrew 8 inward and outward, and the lamp body 2 has a large diameter.
This may lead to the lighting equipment becoming larger and heavier.

[Purpose of invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a globe holding device for a lighting device that can be downsized without impairing the external design.

[Disclosure of invention]

The present invention will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. The lamp body 2 is formed of a steel plate in the shape of a stepped plate, and the inner surface also serves as a reflector.
A pair of supports 12 are attached to the stepped portion 11 at symmetrical positions with screws 13. The globe 5 is formed of a translucent material such as glass or plastic to cover the lamp, and has a circular opening 14 at the center of its upper surface with a rising outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the lamp 2. 14 has a flange portion 15 on the outer periphery. The support body 12 is formed of an elastic thin plate, and from the attachment part 16 to the lamp body 2, a globe support part 17, which is inclined diagonally downward and outward with respect to the lamp body 2, curves inward to the lamp body 2 and extends left and right. It is set up. Reference numeral 18 denotes a glove locking spring that is attached to the rising edge of the glove 5 with a screw 19 facing inward to the opening 14, and a support spring that is attached to the rising edge of the glove 5 from the lower end of the fixing portion 20 facing diagonally upward and inward with respect to the glove 5. A bullet landing section 21 is provided approximately parallel to the glove support section 17 of the glove support section 12. The landing portion 21 of the glove locking spring 18 extends from side to side forming a wave-like shape inside the glove 5, and one end is bent at a substantially right angle toward the inside of the glove 5 to attach the stopper 22. The other end forms a circular arc toward the outside of the glove 5 to form a guide portion 23.

The glove holding device configured as described above attaches and detaches the glove 5 as follows. When attaching the globe 5 to the lamp body 2, make sure that the globe locking spring 18 fixed to the globe 5 does not hit the support 12 attached to the lamp body 2, so that the rising edge of the opening 14 of the globe 5 is aligned with the lamp body. 2, and the outer edge of the lamp body 2 is brought into contact with the flange 15 of the globe 5. Next, the glove 5 is rotated in a direction in which the guide portion 23 of the glove locking spring 18 approaches one end of the support body 12, the glove locking spring 18 is placed in elastic contact with the support body 12, and the glove locking spring 18
A stopper 22 is brought into contact with the support 22. In this state, the impact portion 21 of the glove locking spring 18
is elastically deformed and placed on the support 12, and the elastic force presses and holds the globe 5 against the lamp body 2. On the other hand, when removing the glove 5, the above-described operation may be performed in reverse.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the globe is attached to the lamp body by elastically contacting the glove locking spring protruding inward from the opening of the globe with the inclined surface of the support body attached to the inner surface of the lamp body, which is simple and inexpensive. It has a good appearance, is easy to operate, and does not require the size of the globe or lamp body.
