PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the need of a hanging lantern so as to facilitate transport and get a wider view in the interior of the household Buddhist altar so that the principal image of the Buddha in the small shrine can be worshipped not being obstructed by a lighting fixture by fitting lighting fixtures to the inner surfaces of both side plates of a box for forming a household buddhist altar. SOLUTION: A household Buddhist altar main body 1 is formed as a box comprising a top plate 11, a back plate, both side plates 13 and a bottom plate 14, and a pair of doors 15, 15 are provided like biparting doors on the front open part. A light fixture 3 is provided for illuminating the interior of the household Buddhist altar, and the light fixture comprises a base plate 31 fitted to the inner surfaces of the side plates 13, a socket 32 fixed to the base plate 31, an electric lamp 33 installed in the socket, and a translucent shade 34 also serving as a cover for covering the above socket and electric lump. The light fixtures 3 are thus fixed to the inner surfaces of both side plates 13 of the box, so that, even if the lighting fixture 3 is previously fitted in a manufacturing process, it is possible to prevent the fixture from being damaged in the course of transport, and a wider view can be gotten in the interior of the household Buddhist altar.

2. Description of the Related Art Buddhist altars with lighting fixtures in which light bulb type lanterns are hung inside the altar are known.

Generally speaking, as for a Buddhist altar with a light fixture in which a light bulb type lantern is hung inside the Buddhist altar, as shown in FIG. 4, the cord a is hung from the top plate of the box body constituting the Buddhist altar,
A socket was connected to the lower end of the cord, a light bulb was attached to the socket, and the light bulb was covered with a light-transmitting shade b in the shape of a lantern.

When the luminaire is a light bulb type hanging lantern, the luminaire sways inside the Buddhist altar when the Buddhist altar is transported when the Buddhist altar is set and all the luminaires are set. However, there is a risk of damaging the inside of the altar, so in the process of manufacturing the altar, it is only necessary to punch the hole through which the cord is inserted in the top plate, transport the altar to the place of purchase and connect the socket through the cord after setting it in the place However, not only the installation work of mounting the light bulb and the shade is required, but also the labor of separately packaging and transporting the set of lighting equipment is required.

Also, in the case of a hanging lantern, since it hangs in front of the kitchen, not only does the interior of the Buddhist altar look narrow, but the hanging lantern interferes with worshiping the main deity inside the kitchen. There was a problem such as

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a Buddhist altar with a lighting fixture which can solve the above problems.

[0007]

The Buddhist altar according to the present invention is characterized in that a lighting fixture is fixedly attached to the inner surfaces of both side plates of a box body constituting the Buddhist altar.

[0008]

Since the lighting fixtures are fixedly attached to the inner surfaces of the both side plates of the box forming the Buddhist altar, transportation is not hindered even when all the lighting fixtures are set in the Buddhist altar manufacturing process. Not only does the interior of the Buddhist altar become widely visible, but it also does not interfere with worshiping the main deity inside the kitchen.

EXAMPLE An example of the Buddhist altar of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the Buddhist altar of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan perspective view of the Buddhist altar of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional plan view of an essential part showing a mounting state of a lighting fixture.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a box body composed of a top plate 11, a back plate 12, both side plates 13 and 13, and a bottom plate 14 which compose the main body of the Buddhist altar, and a pair of doors 15 and 15 at the front open end portion are shaped like a double door. It is worn.

Reference numeral 2 is a kitchen provided inside the box, and a pair of doors 21 and 21 are hinged in a double door shape at the front open end.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a lighting device for illuminating the inside of the Buddhist altar, which covers a substrate 31 attached to the inner surface of the side plate 13 of the box body 1, a socket 32 fixed to the substrate, a light bulb 33 attached to the socket, and these. The transparent shade 34 also serves as a cover.

Next, to explain how to attach the lighting fixture 3, first, the power cord is inserted from the outside into the hole previously formed in the side plate 13 of the box body 1, and the terminal of the socket 32 fixed to the substrate 31. After connecting the electric wire to the board 31, the board 31 is fixed to a predetermined position on the inner surface of the side plate 13 with a screw or the like, the light bulb 33 is attached to the socket 32, and the shade 34 is fixed to the flange portion of the board 31 with a screw or the like. Installation is completed.

[0014]

According to the Buddhist altar according to the present invention, since the luminaire is fixedly attached to the inner surfaces of both side plates of the box body constituting the Buddhist altar, the luminaire is preliminarily attached in the manufacturing process of the Buddhist altar. Even when the Buddhist altar is purchased, the Buddhist altar will not be shaken like a conventional hanging lantern to damage not only the lighting equipment but also the Buddhist altar itself. Not only is it convenient and no work is required, but since the lighting fixtures are attached to the inner surfaces of both side plates of the box that makes up the Buddhist altar, the interior of the Buddhist altar can be seen wide and the main body inside the shrine is worshiped. However, unlike the conventional method, there is no possibility of being obscured by a hanging lantern.

Further, in the case of the conventional hanging lantern type, since the weight of the luminaire is entirely applied to the cord, the luminaire cannot be made too heavy, but in the case of the present invention,
Since the lighting fixture is fixed, it is possible to use multiple light bulbs or fluorescent lights as the light source to increase the illuminance of the lighting fixture, and it is also possible to make the shade luxurious and heavy. .
