Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an emergency lighting fixture that can be hung by bolts or the like.

Emergency lighting equipment includes a lighting device that integrates parts such as a lighting circuit including a charging device, a light bulb socket, and a battery inside the equipment body.

Alternatively, only the battery can be separately attached and detached from the lighting device.

In order to fix such emergency lighting equipment to the ceiling, mounting brackets that slide up and down are provided on both sides of the equipment body, and the ceiling is secured by the bottom edge of the equipment body that touches the ceiling surface and the mounting brackets mentioned above. This is generally done by holding them together.

However, when attaching this device by hanging it from the ceiling using a pipe or bolt, it is necessary to secure the bolt or the like to the upper part of the device body.

An example of such an emergency lighting fixture that can be hung is shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-2518.

This item has a connector section attached to the top of the lighting device in advance,
This connector part is made to protrude from the upper part of the instrument main body, and a hanging bolt is inserted into the connector part to suspend the instrument.

However, with such a device, there is no problem if it is only used as a hanging device, but if it is used as a ceiling-embedded device, the connector part becomes unnecessary and is wasted if necessary. .

Since it would normally be wasteful to manufacture separate instruments for implantation and suspension, it is in the best interest of the manufacturer to create a dual-purpose instrument.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and includes a device main body having a screw insertion part for hanging at the center position of the upper part and an outlet at an off-center position, and a lighting device housed within the main body. , a protrusion is provided at an off-center position on the upper surface of the lighting device, facing the outlet, and a plug-in blade connected to the outlet is protruded from the protrusion, This makes it suitable for both embedded and hanging use, and
To provide an emergency lighting device in which the electrical connection of a lighting device to the main body is simple, the structure is simple, and the cost is low.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 is a main body of the appliance, and 2 is a lighting device housed within the main body.

The instrument main body 1 is formed into a square or circular cylindrical shape, and has a screw insertion part 2 formed at the center position of the upper part.

Since this screw insertion portion is unnecessary when used as an implantable device, it has a knockout structure, for example.

Of course, circular holes may be drilled in advance.

A slit 3 is formed on the lower edge of the instrument main body 1, and slits 4 are formed in both side plates for insertion of a threaded portion of a mounting bracket (not shown).

The appliance body 1 further has an outlet 5 attached at an off-center position in the upper part.

This outlet 5 is, for example, a normal dual-use outlet that is attached to a wall switch box via a support.

The outlet 5 does not necessarily have to be a dual-use outlet, and a special one for exclusive use may be manufactured.

The outlet 5 has a terminal part 6 at the upper part and a receiving part 7 at the lower part, and the terminal part 6 is a connection that can be completed by inserting an electric wire (not shown) into a wire insertion hole (not shown), for example. It is a terminal device.

Further, reference numeral 8 denotes inward locking protrusions provided opposite to both side plate portions of the instrument main body 1 in a direction intersecting with the slit 4 .

The lighting device 9 includes a housing 10 that houses lighting components such as a charging device (not shown), a protrusion 11 protruding from the top off-center position facing the outlet 5, and a protrusion provided on the protrusion. It has a plug-in blade 12 that engages with the outlet, and a socket 13 and a lamp 14 at the bottom.
has been established.

Further, the lighting device 9 is provided with a support plate 15 interposed between the casing 10 and the socket 13 at the lower part, and a battery 16 is detachably disposed in a ring shape around the casing 10 by means of this support plate.

Further, reference numeral 17 denotes an elastic support plate that is engaged with a pair of engagement protrusions 8 of the main body 1 provided in the housing 10 so as to sandwich the socket 13 and protrude outward. Hole 1
There are 8.

In addition, 19 is a hanging bolt or a screw provided with a threaded part, and 20 is a screw 1 inserted into the screw insertion part 2 of the instrument body 1.
9 is a nut inserted through the top plate of the main body 1 of the device.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

When embedding the emergency lighting equipment of this invention in the ceiling,
Do it as follows.

The device body 1 is inserted until the collar 3 comes into contact with the periphery of an opening in the ceiling (not shown).

Next, a screw (not shown) is inserted into the slit 4, and the mounting bracket provided along the outer surface of the device body 1 is slid downward until it comes into contact with the ceiling surface.

If the screws are tightened in this state, the mounting bracket is fixed in that position, and the opening edge of the ceiling is held between the collar portion 3 and the mounting bracket, completing the installation.

Next, the lighting device 9, which integrates the socket 13, battery 16, etc., is inserted into the instrument body 1, and the locking hole 18 of the waist elastic support plate 17 and the locking protrusion 8 are engaged with each other.

Furthermore, when the elastic support plate 17 is locked to the locking protrusion 8,
At the same time, the insertion blade 12 of the protrusion 11 is inserted into the outlet socket 5 of the appliance main body 1, and the electrical connection between the two is completed.

Therefore, the lighting device 9 is energized via the outlet 5 and the insertion blade 12 at the same time that the lighting device 9 is completely attached to the appliance main body 1.

Next, when the lighting device of the present invention is used as a hanging type, a through hole is formed by pressing the knockout structure portion of the device body 1, thereby forming the insertion portion 2.

Next, the screw 19 is inserted into the insertion portion 2, and the pair of nuts 20 are positioned on both the upper and lower surfaces of the instrument main body 1 and engaged with the screw 19.

Then, by tightening the nut 20, the device body 1
is fixed to the tip of the screw 19 and is suspended and supported.

The lighting device 9 can be installed in the appliance main body 1 and electrical connections can be made in the same manner as in the case of embedding it in the ceiling.

Then, by connecting an electric wire to the terminal portion 6, a power source is connected.

As described in detail above, the present invention has a screw insertion part for hanging at the center position of the upper part of the appliance body, an outlet at an off-center position at the upper part, and an off-center part of the upper surface of the lighting device housed in this body. Since a protrusion is provided at the center position facing the outlet, and a plug-in blade that is connected to the outlet is protruded from the protrusion, it can be used both as an embedded type and as a hanging type. Not only can it be used as a device, but it can also be manufactured at low cost.

In addition, the protrusion allows a screw accommodating portion of the required height to be secured directly below the screw insertion portion, making it possible to provide an emergency illuminator with a simple structure and low cost.
