When the lantern part 1 and the insect repellent part 2 are connected in the relative position, as clearly shown in FIG. 1, the three wind guide cutouts 74 of the container case 37 in the insect repellent part 2 are respectively supported leg parts. 9, the switch knob 31 of the lantern part 1 and the switch button 53 of the insect repellent part 2 are located on the same vertical line on the front surface, and the lantern part 1 and the insect repellent part 2 In addition to improving the operability of both, it has an excellent appearance in terms of design. However, each notch 74 for wind guide is covered from the outside by the support leg portion 9 as described above. However, as clearly shown in FIG. 3, the notch 74 is conducted to the outside through the wind guide port 64 of the support leg portion 9. Therefore, when the switch button 53 of the insect repellent unit 2 is operated to the power-on position, the air inlet 64, the air guide notch 74 and the container case are externally driven by the suction force of the fan 41 operated by the motor 40. Air is blown into the insect repellent mat member 50 in the cartridge case 46 through the air intake 47 of 37, and functions as the insect repellent unit 2 without hindrance.
[0047]
As described above, the lantern with an insect repellent function in which the lantern part 1 and the insect repellent part 2 are united together is placed in the tent in a camp, for example, so that the insect can get inside the tent while obtaining the required illumination light. Because it can be excluded from entering the mosquitoes, there is no fear of fire as when using mosquito coils. Further, when walking around the campsite at night, the handle 4 can be grasped and the lantern part 1 and the insect repellent part 2 can be carried as one body, so that it can be handled easily. In addition, the insect repellent unit 2 does not have a heat generating function and only rotates the fan 41 by the motor 40, unlike a general insecticide that warms the mat and evaporates the medicine impregnated in the mat. From this point of view, there is no risk of fire, and the power consumption of the battery 51 can be kept low to ensure a sufficient life.
[0048]
In addition, when eating at a campsite, if the lantern unit 1 and the insect repellent unit 2 are combined and placed on a table, the smell of insects will blow out from the table and the atmosphere of the meal will deteriorate. There is a fear. In such a case, the lantern unit 1 and the insect repellent unit 2 and the insect repellent unit 2 and the insect repellent unit 2 can be separated by separately operating the merging operation procedure of the lantern unit 1 and the insect repellent unit 2 described above. The container unit 2 includes a battery 51 as a power source and a switch knob 31 and a switch button 53 as an operation unit, and can be used individually. Therefore, for example, the insect repellent unit 2 is placed at the feet, and the lantern unit 1 is placed on a table for use. At this time, as clearly shown in FIG. 2, the lantern part 1 can be placed in a stable state by the four support legs 9 protruding downward from the bottom surface of the battery case 7. Further, when the lantern part 1 falls from the table, the four support legs 9 projecting downward from the battery case 7 function to protect the battery case 7.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the lantern with an insect repellent function of the present invention, since the lantern part and the insect repellent part have a configuration that is detachably connected, for example, by placing it in a tent in a camp, Since you can exclude the insects from entering the tent while getting the required lighting, there is no fear of fire like using a mosquito coil and when you walk around the campsite at night Since the lantern part and the insect repellent part can be carried as one body, they can be handled easily. Moreover, since the insect repellent unit only rotates the fan and has no heat generation function, there is no risk of fire from this point. Further, the lantern part and the insect repellent part can be individually separated, and since the battery and the switch operation part are individually provided as a power source, the lantern part and the insect repellent part can be used individually. Therefore, the insect repellent unit can be used in a preferred form such as placing it at the foot and placing the lantern on the table.
