Description

環形蛍光ランプおよび照明器具  Annular fluorescent lamp and lighting fixture
技術分野  Technical field
[0001] 本発明は環形バルブに対して所定角度で回動する口金を有する環形蛍光ランプ およびその環形蛍光ランプを備えた照明器具に関する。  [0001] The present invention relates to an annular fluorescent lamp having a base that rotates at a predetermined angle with respect to an annular bulb, and a lighting fixture including the annular fluorescent lamp.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 従来、この種の環形蛍光ランプの一例としては、特許文献、特開平 11— 162329 号公報に記載されたものがある。これに記載の環形蛍光ランプは、口金が外嵌される 円環形ガラスバルブの両端部の一方に、環状の凹部 (括れ部)を形成し、この環状凹 部内に周方向に所要の間隔を置いて複数の規制部材を固着し、これら規制部材間 に突出する突起部を口金の内面に突設したものである。  Conventionally, as an example of this type of annular fluorescent lamp, there is one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-162329. In the annular fluorescent lamp described therein, an annular concave portion (constricted portion) is formed at one of both end portions of an annular glass bulb to which a base is fitted, and a necessary interval is provided in the circumferential direction within the annular concave portion. A plurality of restricting members are fixed to each other, and a protruding portion protruding between the restricting members is provided on the inner surface of the base.
[0003] したがって、口金の突起部がその両側の規制部材間を変位し得る角度だけ、口金 をバルブに対し回動し得る力 それ以上の回動を規制することができる。  [0003] Therefore, the force that can turn the base with respect to the valve can be restricted by an angle that allows the protrusion of the base to be displaced between the restricting members on both sides thereof.
[0004] し力しながら、このような従来の環形蛍光ランプでは、その環形バルブの両端部の 少なくとも一方の環状凹部内に規制部材を固着すると共に、これら規制部材間の間 隙に突出する突起を口金側に突設しなければならず、その構成が必ずしも簡単では ないうえに、これら規制部材と突起の位置決め精度によって口金の回動規制角にば らつきが発生し易い、という課題がある。  [0004] However, in such a conventional annular fluorescent lamp, a restricting member is fixed in at least one annular recess at both ends of the annular bulb, and a protrusion protruding into the gap between the restricting members And the structure is not always simple, and there is a problem that the rotation restriction angle of the base is likely to vary due to the positioning accuracy of these restricting members and protrusions. .
[0005] また、一般に、環形バルブの形状が円環形である場合には、口金も環形バルブの 曲率と同様に湾曲している。このために、口金のみを軸心回りに回動させる場合には 、口金と環形バルブの湾曲方向が互いにずれて行き、所定の回動角度になると口金 内面と環形バルブの端部外面とが係合して回動を阻止するので、比較的容易に口 金の回動角を規制することができる。  [0005] In general, when the shape of the annular valve is an annular shape, the base is curved in the same manner as the curvature of the annular valve. For this reason, when only the base is rotated about the axis, the bending directions of the base and the annular valve are shifted from each other, and when the predetermined rotational angle is reached, the inner surface of the base and the outer surface of the end of the annular valve are engaged. Therefore, the rotation angle of the base can be regulated relatively easily.
[0006] し力し、環形バルブの環形状であって口金が外嵌されるバルブの両端部がほぼ直 線状に対向配置される場合には、これらバルブの両端部間に跨設される口金もまた ほぼ直線状となる。このため、口金がリード線を介してバルブに接続されていない場 合には、構造上口金の回動はほぼ無限となるので、その回動角を確実に規制する手 段が必要になってくる。 [0006] When both ends of the annular valve having the annular shape and the base fitted thereon are arranged substantially linearly opposite to each other, they are straddled between both ends of the valve. The base is also almost linear. For this reason, when the base is not connected to the valve via the lead wire, the rotation of the base is structurally almost infinite. A stage is needed.

[0011] また、上記リード線規制部材が上記口金本体内面力 内方へ突出するように配設さ れた柱状リブであることが好ましい。この場合、上記口金本体は、上記口金ピン及び 柱状リブが配設された半円筒状の第 1の口金本体及びこの第 1の口金本体と結合さ れる半円筒状の第 2の口金本体と、から構成されており、この第 2の口金本体の内面 には、上記柱状リブと当接してリード線の第 2の口金本体側への変位を規制する変位 規制部材を設けることもできる。 [0012] また、リード線規制部材は、各フィラメントから延出される一対のリード線が接続され る一対の口金ピンの間隔以上に一対のリード線を互いに離反させるものであることが 好ましい。 [0011] Further, it is preferable that the lead wire regulating member is a columnar rib disposed so as to protrude inwardly of the inner surface force of the base body. In this case, the base body includes a semi-cylindrical first base body provided with the base pins and columnar ribs, and a semi-cylindrical second base body coupled to the first base body, The inner surface of the second base body may be provided with a displacement restricting member that contacts the columnar rib and restricts the displacement of the lead wire toward the second base body. [0012] Preferably, the lead wire regulating member separates the pair of lead wires from each other beyond the interval between the pair of base pins to which the pair of lead wires extending from each filament is connected.
[0013] また、上記目的は、上記の構造を備えた環形蛍光ランプと、この環形蛍光ランプが 取り付けられる照明器具本体と、この環形蛍光ランプに電力を供給する点灯回路と、 を具備した照明器具を提供する事により達成される。  [0013] Further, the object is to provide an annular fluorescent lamp having the above structure, a lighting fixture main body to which the annular fluorescent lamp is attached, and a lighting circuit for supplying power to the annular fluorescent lamp. This is achieved by providing
[0014] 上記の特徴を有する本発明の環形蛍光ランプ、及びそれを備えた照明器具によれ ば、口金が回動すると、その分、リード線が軸方向に引っ張られ、その引張限度がリ ード線規制部材により規制されるので、口金のそれ以上の回動が規制される。すな わち、リード線の引張限度により口金の回動角が規制される。  [0014] According to the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp of the present invention having the above-described features and the lighting fixture including the same, when the base is rotated, the lead wire is pulled in the axial direction, and the tension limit thereof is set to the limit. Since it is regulated by the wire regulation member, further rotation of the base is regulated. In other words, the rotation angle of the die is regulated by the lead wire tension limit.
[0015] また、リード線規制部材は、リード線を、相互に近接配置された口金ピンの外側へ 迂回するように配線させるので、隣り合うリード線同士が接触してショートするのを未 然に防止することができる。  [0015] Further, since the lead wire regulating member routes the lead wires so as to bypass the outside of the cap pins arranged close to each other, it is possible to prevent the adjacent lead wires from coming into contact with each other and causing a short circuit. Can be prevented.
[0016] また、上記の好適な実施例によれば、口金全体が 90° 〜270° の範囲内、好まし くは 90° 〜120° の範囲内で回動するので、照明器具本体のソケットへの着脱の容 易性を向上させることができる。また、リード線規制部材が口金の柱状リブであるので 、このリード線規制部材の構成が簡素であり、口金全体の金型などにより口金全体と 一体に、容易に形成することができる。  [0016] Further, according to the preferred embodiment described above, the entire base is rotated within a range of 90 ° to 270 °, preferably within a range of 90 ° to 120 °. The ease of attachment / detachment to / from can be improved. In addition, since the lead wire regulating member is a columnar rib of the die, the configuration of the lead wire regulating member is simple and can be easily formed integrally with the whole die by a die of the whole die.
[0017] また、仮に一対のリード線がリード線規制部から外れた場合でも、一対のリード線が 第 2の口金本体側へ変位して相互に近接ないし接触することを防止することができる 。このために、口金の回動規制と一対のリード線同士のショートを確実に防止すること ができる。  [0017] Further, even if the pair of lead wires are removed from the lead wire restricting portion, it is possible to prevent the pair of lead wires from being displaced toward the second base body and coming close to or in contact with each other. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent the rotation of the base and the short-circuit between the pair of lead wires.

In addition to the outer leads 7 and 8, the lead wires are a pair of inner leads 9a, 9b, 10a, and 10b that support the axial ends of the pair of electrodes 9 and 10 sealed in the valve ends 2a and 2b, respectively. The sealing wires 9c, 9d, 10c, and 10d are sealed to the glass stems 11 and 12, and the valve ends 2a and 2b are hermetically penetrated to extend to the outside as a whole. In FIG. 1, at least one of the pair of left and right stems 11 and 12 is provided with an exhaust pipe 13 made of a glass thin tube communicating with the inside of the nozzle 2. In the bulb 2, mercury and rare gas are enclosed as a discharge medium. However, as the discharge medium, mercury may be omitted and only a rare gas may be enclosed in the valve 2.
[0034] そして、図 1に示すように第 1の口金本体 5は、凹部 5aの底部 5bの内面の左右一対 の側辺には、図 1中、上下一対の角柱状のリード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a, 15bを リード線規制部材としてそれぞれ一体に突設している。  As shown in FIG. 1, the first base body 5 has a pair of upper and lower prismatic lead wire regulating ribs 14a in FIG. 1 on the pair of left and right sides of the inner surface of the bottom 5b of the recess 5a. 14b, 15a and 15b are integrally projected as lead wire regulating members.
[0035] 図 1または図 5に示すように各リード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bは口金ピン 5c …の正方格子配列の径方向よりも外側を通す位置に配設されている。すなわち、リ ード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bは、一対のァウタリード 7、 8力 S口金本体 5、 6の 径方向に互いに離反して引回すように第 1の口金本体 5の内面に配設されて 、る。な お、図 1、図 5中、符号 16a、 16bは第 1の口金本体 5の上下一対の係合突起、 17は 第 1の口金本体 5の内面から内方へほぼ垂直に起立して、バルブ端部 2bの先端外 面のほぼ中央部に当接して口金 3をバルブ 2に取り付ける際の取付位置を位置決め する角柱状の位置決め用リブである。  As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 5, the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b are arranged at positions that pass outside the radial direction of the square lattice arrangement of the cap pins 5c. That is, the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b are arranged on the inner surface of the first base body 5 so as to be routed away from each other in the radial direction of the pair of outer leads 7, 8 force S base bodies 5, 6. It is arranged in. In FIGS. 1 and 5, reference numerals 16a and 16b denote a pair of upper and lower engaging projections of the first base body 5, and 17 stands substantially vertically inward from the inner surface of the first base body 5. This is a prismatic positioning rib for positioning the mounting position when the base 3 is attached to the valve 2 by contacting the substantially central portion of the outer end of the valve end 2b.
[0036] 図 9の内面平面図に示すように、第 2の口金本体 6はその内底面のほぼ中央部上 に、図示しない取付ねじに螺合するねじ孔 18aを形成した円柱状の柱状リブ 18を突 設し、この柱状リブ 18の図 9中上方と下方とに係合孔 19aを形成した上下一対の円 柱状のリブ 19、 19をそれぞれ突設している。これらリブ 19、 19は、その係合孔 19a、 19b内に、第 1の口金本体 M体 5の上下一対の係合突起 16a、 16bをそれぞれ係合 することにより位置決めされ、この状態で図示しない取付ねじを揷通孔 5eを介してね じ孔 18aに螺合することで結合させて、円筒状の口金 3を構成するようになっている。 [0036] As shown in the plan view of the inner surface of FIG. 9, the second base body 6 is located approximately at the center of the inner bottom surface. A cylindrical columnar rib 18 having a screw hole 18a to be screwed into a mounting screw (not shown) is protruded, and a pair of upper and lower pairs formed with an engagement hole 19a on the upper side and the lower side of the columnar rib 18 in FIG. Columnar ribs 19 and 19 are projected. The ribs 19 and 19 are positioned by engaging a pair of upper and lower engagement protrusions 16a and 16b of the first base body M body 5 in the engagement holes 19a and 19b, respectively, and are not shown in this state. The mounting screw is coupled by screwing into the screw hole 18a through the through hole 5e to constitute the cylindrical base 3.
[0037] また、第 2の口金本体 6は、柱状リブ 18の図 9中左右にて、図 10の右側面図にも示 すように、上下一対の変位規制リブ 20a、 20b、 21a、 21bを一体に突設している。  [0037] In addition, the second base body 6 includes a pair of upper and lower displacement regulating ribs 20a, 20b, 21a, 21b, as shown in the right side view of FIG. Projecting together.
[0038] 図 3に示すように、これら変位規制リブ 20a、 20b、 21a、 21bは、その第 2の口金本 体 6の開口端側自由先端面が各リード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a, 15bの自由先端 面に当接する位置にそれぞれ配設されている。なお、第 2の口金本体 6の開口側自 由先端と、リード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a, 15bの自由先端面とは必ずしも当接し なくてもよぐこれら自由先端面同士間に間隙があってもよい。但し、この間隙はァゥ タリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bの直径よりも小さい微小間隙であることを要する。これにより、 ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bがリード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bを乗り越えて第 2の口金本体 6側へ変位し、一対のァウタリード 7、 8または 9、 10同士が近接する方 向に移動することを規制することができる。  [0038] As shown in Fig. 3, these displacement regulating ribs 20a, 20b, 21a, 21b are such that the free end surface on the open end side of the second base body 6 has the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, They are arranged at positions that contact the free end face of 15b. It should be noted that the free end of the opening side of the second base body 6 and the free end surfaces of the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b are not necessarily in contact with each other. There may be. However, this gap needs to be a minute gap smaller than the diameter of the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b. As a result, the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b get over the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b and are displaced to the second base body 6 side, and the pair of outer leads 7, 8, or 9, 10 are close to each other. It is possible to restrict movement in the direction of the movement.

次に、この環形蛍光ランプ 1の作用について説明する。  Next, the operation of the annular fluorescent lamp 1 will be described.
[0041] まず、バルブ 2の両端部 2a, 2b外面に口金 3を取り付ける場合は、図 1に示すように 、各ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bの自由先端部を各リード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a 、 15bの径方向外側へ通してから、各口金ピン 5cの揷通孔 5ca内へ揷通させる。そし て、口金 3の第 1の口金本体 5をバルブ両端部 2a、 2b間上に被せ、一方のバルブ端 部、例えば 2bの先端外面を位置決めリブ 17に当接させて位置決めする。その次に、 挿通状態のァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bが図 1に示すように若干橈んだ状態となるよ うに口金 3内のァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bの長さを確保し、各口金ピン 5cの外端部 の径方向のカシメにより、各口金ピン 5cに固着し接続する。  [0041] First, when attaching the cap 3 to the outer surfaces of both ends 2a, 2b of the valve 2, as shown in Fig. 1, the free tips of the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b are connected to the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, After passing through 14b, 15a, and 15b in the radial direction outside, they are passed through the through holes 5ca of the cap pins 5c. Then, the first base body 5 of the base 3 is placed between the valve end portions 2a and 2b, and one valve end, for example, the outer surface of the tip of 2b is brought into contact with the positioning rib 17 for positioning. Next, ensure the length of the water leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b in the base 3 so that the inserted water leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b are slightly cramped as shown in FIG. Each base pin 5c is fixed and connected to each base pin 5c by caulking in the radial direction of the outer end portion of each base pin 5c.
[0042] しかる後に、この第 1の口金本体 5の開口端上に、第 2の口金本体 6の開口端を被 せ、第 1の口金本体 5の各係合突起 16a、 16bが第 2の口金本体 6の各係合孔 19a、 19b内に係合されて位置決めされる。  [0042] After that, the opening end of the second base body 6 is covered on the opening end of the first base body 5, and the respective engaging projections 16a, 16b of the first base body 5 are the second end. It is engaged and positioned in each of the engagement holes 19a and 19b of the base body 6.
[0043] この後、図示しない取付ねじを第 1の口金本体 5のねじ揷通孔 5d内に揷通し、ねじ 込むことにより第 2の口金本体 6の柱状リブ 18のねじ孔 18a内にねじ込み、第 1の口 金本体 5と第 2の口金本体 6を強固に結合させる。  [0043] After that, a mounting screw (not shown) is threaded through the screw through hole 5d of the first base body 5 and screwed into the screw hole 18a of the columnar rib 18 of the second base body 6. The first base body 5 and the second base body 6 are firmly joined.
[0044] こうしてバルブ 2に口金 3を装着した後で、図 2 (図面はバルブ両端部 2a,2bがその 軸心回りに相対的に回動した状態を示す。)に示すように口金 3を、バルブ両端部 2a 、 2bの軸心回りに一方向に回動させると、図 2中、例えば上側のァウタリードの途中 が図中上側の配線規制リブ 14a、 15aの図中上面上に当接し、軸方向に引っ張られ る。  [0044] After mounting the base 3 to the valve 2 in this way, the base 3 is moved as shown in Fig. 2 (the drawing shows a state in which both end portions 2a and 2b of the valve are relatively rotated around its axis). When the valve ends 2a and 2b are rotated in one direction around the axial center of the valve ends 2a and 2b, for example, the middle of the upper water lead abuts on the upper surface of the upper wiring regulating ribs 14a and 15a in the drawing, Pulled in the axial direction.
[0045] このために、上側のァウタリード 7aと 8aが引張限度に到達して緊張すると、反回動 方向に押し戻そうとするテンションが大きくなり、所定の回転角度にまで回動すると口 金 3の回動角が限界に到達し、それ以上の回動が規制される。 [0045] For this reason, when the upper water leads 7a and 8a reach the tension limit and become tensioned, they turn counterclockwise. The tension to push back in the direction increases, and when it rotates to a predetermined rotation angle, the rotation angle of the base 3 reaches the limit, and further rotation is restricted.
[0046] そして、これとは逆方向に口金 3を回動させた場合には、図 2中、下側のァゥタリー ド 7b、 8bの途中が図中下側のリード線規制リブ 14b、 15bに当接し、緊張するので、 同様に口金 3の回動角を 360° 未満、例えば 90° 〜270° 、好ましくは 90° 〜120[0046] When the base 3 is rotated in the opposite direction, the middle of the lower tales 7b, 8b in FIG. 2 becomes the lower lead wire regulating ribs 14b, 15b in the figure. Similarly, the rotation angle of the base 3 is less than 360 °, for example, 90 ° to 270 °, preferably 90 ° to 120.
° の範囲に規制することができる。 It can be regulated in the range of °.
[0047] また、この環形蛍光ランプ 1によれば、上記従来例のようにバルブ両端部 2a、 2bに 環状凹部 (括れ部)を形成する必要がないので、バルブ 2の加工の容易性と迅速性 を向上させることができる。なお、本発明は環状凹部の採用を妨げるものではなぐ必 要に応じて環状バルブ 2の少なくとも一方の端部に環状凹部を形成してもよい。 [0047] Further, according to the annular fluorescent lamp 1, since it is not necessary to form annular recesses (constricted portions) at both end portions 2a and 2b of the bulb as in the conventional example, the processing of the bulb 2 is easy and quick. Can be improved. In the present invention, an annular recess may be formed on at least one end of the annular valve 2 as necessary without hindering the adoption of the annular recess.
[0048] さらに、口金 3にリード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bを単に形成する簡単な構成 により口金 3の回動角を簡単かつ確実に規制することができる。 Furthermore, the rotation angle of the base 3 can be easily and reliably restricted by a simple configuration in which the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, and 15b are simply formed on the base 3.
[0049] また、ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bの長さを単に適宜調節することにより、口金 3の回 動角を簡単かつ迅速に調節することができる。 [0049] Further, the rotation angle of the base 3 can be easily and quickly adjusted by simply adjusting the length of the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b as appropriate.
[0050] さらにまた、口金 3にバルブ 2の取付位置を位置決めする位置決めリブ 17を形成し ているので、口金 3をバルブ 2に取り付ける際の位置決めを簡単迅速に行なうことが できる。 Furthermore, since the positioning rib 17 for positioning the mounting position of the valve 2 is formed on the base 3, positioning when mounting the base 3 to the valve 2 can be performed easily and quickly.
[0051] さらに、各ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bをリード線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bの 径方向外側へ通すので、これら各ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bが口金 3の回動時によ じれて相互に接触してショートするのを防止することができる。  [0051] Further, since each of the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b is passed radially outward of the lead wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, each of the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b rotates the base 3 It is possible to prevent short-circuiting due to contact with each other over time.
[0052] 但し、ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bに図示しない電気絶縁チューブを被せることによ り、ショート防止の確実性を一段と向上させてもよい。  [0052] However, the reliability of short-circuit prevention may be further improved by covering the outer leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b with an electric insulating tube (not shown).
[0053] また、上記実施形態では左右一対の配線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a, 15bをそれぞ れ設ける場合について説明した力 本発明はこれに限定されるものではなぐ例えば その左右 1組の配線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bの一方を省略してもよい。  [0053] Further, in the above embodiment, the force described in the case where the pair of left and right wiring restricting ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b are provided, respectively. The present invention is not limited to this. One of the regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b may be omitted.
[0054] さらに、上記実施形態では、ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8a、 8bを配線規制リブ 14a、 14b 、 15a、 15bの外側に単に配線する場合について説明した力 ァウタリード 7a、 7b、 8 a、 8bの途中を配線規制リブ 14a、 14b、 15a、 15bに所要回数巻き付けてもよい。 [0055] 図 11は本発明の第 2の実施形態に係る照明器具 31の平面図である。この照明器 具 31は、上記図 1で示す環形蛍光ランプ 1と、この環形蛍光ランプ 1を着脱自在に装 着する器具本体 32と、この器具本体 32に配設されて、環形蛍光ランプ 1に電力を供 給する点灯回路 33と、を具備している。 [0054] Further, in the above embodiment, the force leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b are described in the case where the water leads 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b are simply wired outside the wiring regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b. In the middle, the wire regulating ribs 14a, 14b, 15a, and 15b may be wound as many times as necessary. FIG. 11 is a plan view of a lighting fixture 31 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The illuminating device 31 includes the annular fluorescent lamp 1 shown in FIG. 1 above, an instrument main body 32 on which the annular fluorescent lamp 1 is detachably attached, and the instrument main body 32. And a lighting circuit 33 for supplying electric power.
[0056] 器具本体 32は例えば天井に取り付けられ、図示しない反射体、点灯回路 33に電 気的に接続されたランプソケットおよび環形蛍光ランプ 1を器具本体 32に着脱自在 に取り付けるランプホルダー等の保持具を具備している。反射体は例えば白色四角 錐形状に形成されて環形蛍光ランプ 1の内側にて同心状に配設される。  [0056] The fixture body 32 is mounted on the ceiling, for example, a reflector (not shown), a lamp socket that is electrically connected to the lighting circuit 33, and a lamp holder that attaches the annular fluorescent lamp 1 to the fixture body 32 in a detachable manner. It has equipment. The reflector is formed in, for example, a white quadrangular pyramid shape and is disposed concentrically inside the annular fluorescent lamp 1.
[0057] 点灯回路 33は商用電源からの電力を得て、これを所要周波数の高周波電力に変 換し、これをランプソケットを経て環形蛍光ランプに供給するものである。  [0057] The lighting circuit 33 obtains electric power from a commercial power source, converts it into high-frequency electric power having a required frequency, and supplies it to the annular fluorescent lamp via a lamp socket.
[0058] この照明器具 31によれば、器具本体 32の四角錐形状の白色反射体が四角形の 環形蛍光ランプ 1の中心にほぼ同心状に配設されているので、器具下側方向への配 光特性が四角形になり、四角形状の部屋等の照明空間にほぼ均一に照明すること ができる。  [0058] According to this lighting fixture 31, the quadrangular pyramid-shaped white reflector of the fixture main body 32 is disposed substantially concentrically at the center of the square ring-shaped fluorescent lamp 1, so that it is arranged in the downward direction of the fixture. The light characteristics are quadrangular, and the illumination space such as a quadrangular room can be illuminated almost uniformly.
[0059] また、環形蛍光ランプ 1の口金 3が、その中心軸回りに、 90° から 120° の範囲で回 動できるので、器具本体 32に設けたランプソケットとの嵌合な 、し接続の容易性を向 上させることができる。  [0059] In addition, since the base 3 of the annular fluorescent lamp 1 can be rotated in the range of 90 ° to 120 ° around its central axis, it can be connected to the lamp socket provided in the fixture body 32 without being connected. Ease of use can be improved.
