Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a kitchen table lighting device used in a kitchen.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, kitchens provide lighting using lighting fixtures installed on the ceiling or walls.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, the above-mentioned lighting equipment illuminates the entire kitchen, and the upper surface of a kitchen table such as a range where cooking is performed lacks sufficient illuminance. Therefore, local lighting may be considered, but there is a problem in that there is storage furniture and the like above the kitchen table, and there is not enough space for installing lighting equipment.

Furthermore, a hanging cabinet in which lighting equipment is provided at the lower part of the cabinet so that it can be stored and taken out has also been proposed. However, when installing a hanging cabinet above the kitchen table, if the bottom of the hanging cabinet is low, it will get in the way of work on the kitchen table, and if it is high, the lighting equipment will not provide sufficient illumination at hand. be. Moreover, there is a problem in that the storage volume is reduced due to the lighting equipment.

In addition, conventional kitchens have many small items such as seasoning containers, but there tends to be a lack of storage space for these small kitchen items, so it is recommended to store them around the kitchen table and provide a shelf where they can be taken out quickly when needed. was requested.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kitchen table illumination device that allows for hand illumination on the kitchen table without taking up much space, and also has a convenient shelf for storing small kitchen items.

[Means to solve the problem]

The kitchen table lighting device of this invention is provided with lighting devices on opposite sides of a pair of storage furniture placed on a wall above the kitchen table at a distance from each other. Each of these lighting devices consists of a backboard arranged parallel to the side surface, a shelf board for placing small items attached to the front surface of the backboard, and a shelf board mounted from the bottom surface of the shelf board to the front surface of the backboard. It consists of a lighting fixture with a light projection opening diagonally downward.

[Effect]

According to the configuration of this invention, the center of the pair of storage furniture on the upper surface of the kitchen table is illuminated from the diagonally downward projecting ports of the pair of lighting equipment. The shelves can store small items for the kitchen.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3. In FIG. 1, 1 is a back plate of a lighting device 10, 2 is a shelf board, and 3 is a lighting fixture.

The shelf board 2 forms an open shelf 5 between it and a top board 4 attached to the substantially central part of the back board 1.

The lighting fixture 3 is installed spanning from the lower surface of the shelf board 2 to the front surface of the back board 1, and a light projection port 7 is provided in the cover material 6 on the front surface. The light projection port 7 is located diagonally below the front surface of the lighting fixture 3. Further, a flat switch 8 is attached to the side surface of the lighting fixture 3.

Figure 2 shows the vicinity of the range 11, which serves as the kitchen table. A pair of storage furniture 13, 14 is placed above the range 11 and installed on the wall with an interval between them. The upper part between the storage furniture 13 and 14 is narrower than the lower part, and a ventilation hood 12 is provided between the two. Illumination devices 10, 10' are provided on opposite sides of the lower portions of the storage furniture 13, 14. The lighting device 10' has a structure that is laterally symmetrical to the lighting device 10. The switch 8 is provided only in one of the lighting devices 10, and the lighting devices 3, 3' of both lighting devices 10, 10' are used in common. Which of the left or right lighting fixtures 3, 3' should be provided with the switch 8?
In order to improve the efficiency of kitchen work, it is best to install it in a location that is easy to use.

FIG. 3 shows the lighting fixture 3 with the cover member 6 removed, and a terminal 16 connected by a cord 15, a socket 17, and a switch circuit 18 are installed inside. 19 is a lamp (heat generating lamp).

The reason why the switch 8 is a flat switch is to make it easier to clean oil stains from the kitchen.

According to this configuration, the lighting devices 10 and 1 are mounted on the sides of the pair of storage furniture 13 and 14 above the range 11.
0' is provided, and the light emitting port 7 is provided diagonally below the front surface, so that the top surface of the range 11 in the center of both storage furniture 13, 14 can be brightly illuminated by spot lighting without interfering with work. I can do it. The lighting devices 10, 10' have lighting fixtures 3, 3' attached to the bottom surface of the shelf board 2 for storing small items, so the shelf board 2 can be used to store small kitchen items, making it convenient for storage. be. In a kitchen, there are many small items such as seasoning containers, and it takes a lot of space to store them, but by providing the shelf board 2 for storing small items in this way, the storage can be done without taking up much space. In other words, since it is a shelf board 2 for storing small items,
The small empty space on the sides of the storage furniture 13, 14 above the range 11 can be effectively utilized without taking up a large space like a normal hanging cabinet.

The pair of storage furniture 13 and 14 are installed apart from each other in order to secure a work space above the microwave oven 11, but they can provide illumination at hand without constricting the work space, and they can also be used to store small items. can be done. Furthermore, a lighting fixture 3 is placed below the shelf board 2,
3', the storage volume will not be reduced.

Another embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIG. The lighting device of this embodiment is provided with a drawer 22 between a back plate 20 and a lighting fixture 21, and is used for storing small items on an open shelf 24 at the top of a shelf board 13, as well as for storing kitchen utensils. It will be very convenient.

Note that the lighting device 1 with a small width W ₁ shown in FIG.
0, and a large lighting device 25 with a width W ₂ shown in FIG.
By preparing these, it is possible to accommodate storage furniture 13 and 14 of various shapes and sizes. At that time, each lighting device 10, 25 is provided with a switch on the left or right, and one without a switch, and the switch 8 is set to either the left or right lighting device 1.
It is desirable to be able to attach it to 0 and 25 as well.

[Effect of idea]

According to the configuration of this invention, the lighting device is provided on the side of the pair of storage furniture above the kitchen table, and the light emitting port is provided diagonally downward in the front, so that the upper surface of the kitchen table in the center of both storage furniture can be brightly illuminated with spot lighting without interfering with work on the kitchen table. Since the lighting device has a lighting fixture attached to the lower surface of a shelf board for storing small items, the shelf board can be used for storing small kitchen items, making it convenient for storage. In kitchens, there are many small items such as seasoning containers, and they take up a lot of space to store.
By providing a shelf board for storing small items in this way, storage can be performed without taking up much space. That is, since it is a shelf board for storing small items, it does not take up a large space like a normal hanging cabinet, and the small empty space on the side of the storage furniture above the kitchen table can be used effectively.

A pair of storage furniture is installed apart from each other in order to secure work space above the kitchen table, etc., but according to this invention, it is possible to provide near-field lighting without constricting the work space, and Can store small items. Furthermore, since the lighting equipment is provided below the shelf board, there is an effect that the storage volume is not reduced.
