Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a buried illumination device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 110 and a fixing member 120.

As shown in FIG. 6, the body 110 is partially embedded in a wall surface of the plate 1, and is a member provided with a light source (not shown) such as a fluorescent lamp, an incandescent lamp, an LED or the like facing downward. The body 110 may be formed of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy or an iron alloy, or a plastic material, but is not limited thereto. Referring to FIG. 1, a separate case 111 may be attached to the lower exposed surface of the body 110.

The fixing member 120 is fixed to the body 110 so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis r set to form a certain angle with the wall plate 1, The embedding type lighting apparatus 100 can be fixed or released after it is embedded in the plate 1 on the wall surface.

1 and 2, the fixing member 120 is fixed to the body 110 so as to be rotatable by a washer-shaped bolt 130 passing through the fixing member 120. Instead of the washer bolt 130, a separately provided washer and bolt may be used. 2, the circular protrusions 112 may be formed on the body 110 in order to minimize the contact area between the fixing member 120 and the body 110 and smooth rotation. The circular protrusion 112 may be integrally formed with the body 110, or may be separately provided from the body 110 as a separate member.

The rotation axis r of the fixing member 120 formed by such a washer-shaped bolt 130 is set to form a certain angle with the plate 1 on the wall surface. In this embodiment, And is set to be substantially perpendicular to the substrate 1.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixing member 120 includes an operating portion 121 and an elastic fixing portion 125.

The operation unit 121 is configured to be protruded outward of the body 110 or approach the body 110 side by the rotation of the fixing member 120. 1, the operating portion 121 has a plate shape formed substantially parallel to the plate 1 on the wall surface, and has an engagement protrusion 122 formed at an end thereof so as to restrict access to the body 110, As shown in Fig.

The elastic fixing part 125 can be elastically contacted with or spaced from the plate 1 of the wall surface by the rotation of the fixing member 120 by the operation of the operation part 121. [ 7A and 7B, the elastic fixing part 125 is inclined to form a certain angle with the wall plates 1a and 1b. As the elastic fixing part 125 is inclined, the lighting device 100 of the present embodiment can be fixed to the wall surface by elastically contacting the plate 1 of the wall surface.

The manipulation part 121 and the elastic fixing part 125 may be integrally formed by being bent so as to form a constant angle with respect to the rotation axis r. The angle formed by the operating portion 121 and the elastic fixing portion 125 will be described.

5, the case where the fixing member 120 is positioned is defined as a 'first position'. This first position is a position where the operating portion 121 protrudes to the outside of the body 110 and the elastic fixing portion 125 is not brought into contact with the plate 1. [ 5, the operating portion 121 protrudes outward from the body 110 to be exposed to the installer, and the elastic fixing portion 125 is brought into close contact with the body 110 side, And a state in which it is spaced apart from the plate (1) to some extent. When the fixing member 120 is positioned at this first position, a part of the illuminating device 100 of the present invention can be embedded in the hole formed in the plate 1 of the wall surface of the body 110.

6, the case where the fixing member 120 is positioned is defined as a "second position". This second position means a position where the operating portion 121 approaches the body 110 side and the elastic fixing portion 125 elastically contacts the plate 1 of the wall surface. 6, the second position refers to a position where the operation unit 121 is moved toward the body 110 by applying a force to the operation unit 121 from the first position to rotate the fixing member 120. [ When the operating portion 121 is moved toward the body 110 side, the elastic fixing portion 125 rotates to contact the plate 1 of the wall while pushing the plate 1, so that a reaction force acts on the body 110 side. In addition, since the elastic fixing part 125 forms a certain angle with the plate 1 on the wall surface and flares toward the outside of the body 110 toward the upper side, the lighting device 100 of the present invention has a And can be prevented from being deviated to the outside of the hole of the plate (1).

As described above, the fixing member 120 is formed so that the first position and the second position can be changed by rotation, and the fixing member 120 is configured to be rotated about the rotation axis r.

The fixing member 120 may be formed integrally with a metallic material such as an aluminum alloy or an iron alloy having elasticity. The fixing member 120 may be integrally molded from a plastic material having elasticity. The material and the method of forming the fixing member 120 are not limited to this example. If the fixing member 120 can be formed in the shape of FIGS. 3 and 4 while providing elasticity to the elastic fixing member 125, Forming method may be used.

3 and 4, the elastic fixing part 125 is formed by bending at least one part so as to provide a greater elastic force to the plate 1 on the wall surface as it is further away from the rotation axis r . That is, by forming the bent portion 126 bent at the end of the elastic fixing portion 125, it is possible to effectively fix the plate 1a having a thick wall surface as shown in FIG. 7A desirable. Further, by forming the bent portion 126, the plate 1 on the wall surface can be caught by the bent portion 127, so that stable fixing can be achieved.

7A and 7B, when the illuminating device 100 of the present invention is installed on the thin wall plate 1b, the elastic fixing portion 125 (see FIG. 7) inside the bending portion 126 and adjacent to the rotation axis r, And is fixed to the plate 1a having a thick wall by the bent portion 126 so that it can be applied to the wall plates 1a and 1b of various thicknesses .

On the other hand, it is preferable to form the round portion 128 on a part or the whole of the side surface of the elastic fixing portion 125, which is in contact with the wall plate 1. 3 and 4, the round part 128 is formed by being rounded and bent at the side of the elastic fixing part 125 so that the contact area of the wall part with the plate 1 is increased, It is possible to prevent the plate 1 from being damaged.

1 and 6, when the fixing member 120 is positioned at the second position in the body 110, the movement of the operation portion 121 is controlled so that the fixing member 120 can not rotate in the first position direction A protruding portion 115 is formed.

The projecting portion 115 has a shape and a height so that the installer can pass the operation portion 121 when the installer applies a force greater than a certain level to the operation portion 121 but can not pass the force when a force less than a certain level is applied. That is, when the installer pushes the operation unit 121 to the inside of the body 110 by pushing the operation unit 121 in order to fix the illumination apparatus 100 of the present invention, the projection 115 is elastically deformed, 115, and after passing through, restores the original shape due to elasticity so that the operating portion 121 is not released to the outside of the body 110.

The protrusion 115 may be formed in a substantially triangular shape in a case 111 formed separately from the body 110 as shown in FIG. 6, but the position and shape of the protrusion 115 may be variously set. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a spherical protrusion 115 'may be formed in a substantially semispherical shape in the body 110.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
