Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a lighting equipment mounting device.

Conventionally, there are mounting structures for ceiling-mounted lighting fixtures as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

That is, as typical examples, FIG. 1 shows an instrument case 10 fixed to a ceiling surface 1 with screws 16, and FIG. 2 shows an instrument case 10 fixed to a ceiling surface 1 with insert bolts 14.

Further, FIG. 3 shows an example in which the above-mentioned instrument case 10 is fixed at a position separated from the ceiling surface 1 by means of a pipe 15.

However, in either case, it is necessary to carry out the work of fixing the heavy lighting equipment while holding it in one hand, and in addition, the work requires an unreasonable posture of looking up at the ceiling, so there has been a desire to improve this.

The present invention was devised in view of these circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting fixture mounting device that allows the lighting fixture to be mounted while supporting it with both hands and is highly safe.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

These figures are cross-sectional views of a lighting fixture mounting device showing one embodiment of the present invention, where 1 represents a mounting surface such as a ceiling for mounting a lighting fixture, and 2 represents a mounting bracket fixed to this mounting surface. There is.

This mounting bracket 2 has a base surface 4 at the center of a plate made of a band-shaped elastic material, and extends downward from both ends of the base surface 4 in a tapered shape with its tip slanting inward. It consists of a wing piece 5 and a hook part 6 formed by bending the tip of the wing piece 5 at an acute angle and forming a V-shape.

The mounting bracket 2 is fixed to the mounting surface 1 by screws 7 passing through screw holes (not shown) provided in the base surface 4.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an instrument case made by bending a thin metal plate into a U-shape and having an open bottom surface.The upper surface has two transparent pieces slightly larger than the hook portions 6 of the mounting bracket 2 at positions corresponding to the hook portions 6 of the mounting bracket 2. Holes 9 are arranged in parallel.

Furthermore, above this through hole 9, one end of each is connected to the instrument case 1.
A pair of guide portions 8 are fixed to the upper surface of the guide portion 0 and bent into a substantially Z-shape so that their tips face each other.

The spacing between the guide portions 8 is set to such a distance that when the hook portion 6 of the mounting bracket 2 is inserted into the through hole 9, the blade 5 is pressed inward from the outside.

Note that 11 is a lamp socket, 12 is a lamp, and 13 is a reflector.

In the lighting equipment mounting device configured in this way,
As shown in FIG. 5, the hook portion 6 of the mounting bracket 2 is located at the center of each of the two through holes 9 provided on the upper surface of the instrument case 10, and the guide portion 8 is also located at the center of the two through holes 9 provided on the upper surface of the instrument case 10. Installation can be completed by simply pushing upward the lighting fixture 3 so that the wing pieces 5 are inserted into the through holes 9 without pressing the pieces 5 inward, as shown in FIG. 6.

In the state shown in FIG. 6, the guide part 6 presses the wing piece 5 inwardly, so the wing piece 5 deforms inward as shown in the figure and comes into pressure contact with the inside of the through hole 9, and furthermore, the tip of the hook part 6. hooks and engages around the through hole 9, so that the engagement between the hook portion 6 and the through hole 9 can be ensured.

Moreover, since the guide portion 8 presses the side portion of the wing piece 5, vertical play of the lighting device can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the guide section 8 was installed upright on the top surface of the instrument case 10, but a through hole having an inner dimension equivalent to the tip distance of the guide section 8 in the above embodiment is formed on the top surface of the instrument case 10. In addition, a partition plate may be provided at the lower part of the instrument case 10, and a through hole corresponding to the through hole 9 of the instrument case 10 of the above embodiment may be provided in this partition plate.

As mentioned in point 2, according to the present invention, compared to the conventional lighting equipment installation method in which the lighting equipment is installed while holding it with one hand, the mounting bracket, which is a small part, can be attached to the mounting surface in advance, and the lighting equipment can be installed later with a single touch. Therefore, not only is there less danger during construction, but it also has a high practical value as it can save labor.

Furthermore, since the mounting bracket is fixed to a mounting surface such as a ceiling or a wall with screws or the like, there is an effect that the mounting location of the lighting equipment can be arbitrarily and easily selected.
