Description

  The present invention relates to an eaves lamp incorporating a lighting fixture such as an LED.

  Conventionally, eaves B (also called rain gutters) are often provided at eaves such as houses as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10.

  On the other hand, the importance of night lighting has been reviewed due to the recent increase in interest in crime prevention measures.

  In addition, it can be considered that night lighting plays a role of illuminating the feet or as a role of illumination.

For example, it has already been proposed to illuminate the eaves by attaching a lighting device such as an LED together with the eaves at the eaves (see Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).
(See Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

  In view of the circumstances as described above, the present invention incorporates a lighting device such as an LED, separately from the above conventional examples, and realizes effective nighttime lighting such as crime prevention measures from the eaves, foot lighting, and illumination. The challenge is to provide a lighting built-in eaves that can be used.

  The lighting built-in eaves according to the present invention solves the above-mentioned problem. First, a hollow plate-shaped lighting built-in portion along the longitudinal direction of the rain gutter portion is a front plate constituting the rain gutter portion. At the upper end of the front plate and projecting forward from the front plate and higher than the upper end of the rear plate constituting the rain gutter part. It is characterized by being continuously arranged in the longitudinal direction of the illumination built-in part so as to emit illumination light downward from the bottom plate constituting the insertion part.

  2ndly, the illumination unit which incorporated the some lighting fixture in the longitudinal direction continuously in the elongate case body is provided in the illumination built-in part, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to the first and second inventions described above, the rain gutter provided at the eaves of a house or the like is incorporated with a lighting device such as an LED, and effective nighttime such as crime prevention measures from the eaves, foot lighting, illumination, etc. It can be set as a built-in lighting eaves that can realize lighting.

  In addition, since the lighting fixture is attached to the eaves as a built-in lighting eaves, the appearance of the entire building is not impaired.

  Furthermore, since the lighting assembly part to which the lighting fixture is attached has a hollow body shape, the lighting fixture can be protected from external stress, and a waterproof effect and antifouling effect can be expected.

  1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.

  As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the built-in lighting eaves A of the present invention emits a rain gutter part 1 for flowing rain water 10, an illumination built-in part 2 for adding a lighting function, and illumination light 30. A lighting fixture 3 is provided.

  The rain gutter part 1 has a form that receives rain water 10 and flows it into a vertical gutter (not shown) and the like, and is composed of at least a front plate 11, a rear plate 12, and a bottom plate 13. The rear plate 12 is positioned on the eaves side and is attached to the eaves via an attachment fitting or the like.

  The lighting built-in part 2 has a hollow body-like shape along the longitudinal direction of the rain gutter part 1 and has a form in which the lighting fixture 3 can be built. The front plate 11 protrudes forward and is provided at a position higher than the upper end of the rear plate 12 constituting the gutter portion 1. Moreover, the exit port 211 for taking out the illumination light 30 from the lighting fixture 3 incorporated in the downward direction is provided in the baseplate 21 which comprises the hollow body as the illumination incorporating part 2. FIG.

  The lighting fixture 3 is continuously arranged along the longitudinal direction inside the hollow body as the lighting built-in portion 2, and emits the illumination light 30 downward from the bottom plate 21 of the lighting built-in portion 2. To do.

  As this lighting fixture 3, LED with high brightness and high directivity can be used. In this case, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a plurality of LEDs 31 are continuously integrated and integrated in the longitudinal direction in a case body 32 having a long rectangular tube shape that matches the hollow shape of the illumination assembly portion 2. The lighting unit 33 may be inserted into the lighting built-in unit 2 and incorporated. Fixing to the illumination built-in portion 2 is performed by screwing the horizontal bottom plate 21 or the like so that it can be freely attached and detached.

  About the illumination unit 33, the power source required for the drive, a circuit board, etc. (not shown) are incorporated with LED31. Further, the bottom plate 321 of the case body 32 is formed of a transparent plate 321 ′ as shown in the figure so that light from each LED 31 continuously arranged in the longitudinal direction is emitted downward, or an emission port (illustrated) is provided on the bottom plate 321. None) may be provided.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, after the illumination unit 33 is assembled, the lid 4 is attached to the end of the opening of the illumination assembly 2.

  According to the lighting built-in eaves A as described above, the illumination light 30 is directed downward from the lighting fixture 3 built in the lighting built-in part 2 protruding forward at the upper end of the front plate 11 of the rain gutter part 1. The illumination light 30 becomes a downlight as illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 to provide illumination and security measures for the eaves, and from the eaves to the entrance as illustrated in FIG. It also serves as a step light that shines toward the camera and provides excellent night lighting. In addition, since it is a built-in eaves lighting A that doubles as a rain gutter and night lighting, the appearance of the entire building is not impaired.

  Here, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the illumination built-in portion 2 has a hollow body shape, and protects the lighting fixture 3 incorporated therein (or the illumination unit 33 in FIG. 2, hereinafter the same) from external stress. It is to do. Thereby, in the handling of the lighting built-in eaves A, higher safety of the lighting fixture 3 can be ensured. It is also possible to effectively protect the lighting fixture 3 from rainwater and dirt. In addition, at the time of maintenance, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the lid 4 at the end of the opening of the illumination built-in portion 2 may be removed, and the lighting fixture 3 may be extracted from the side, and workability is also good.

  Further, the reason why the illumination built-in part 2 is projected forward from the front plate 11 of the rain gutter part 1 is to allow the illumination light 30 to reach further downward without being disturbed by the gutter part 1. .

  In order to realize more effective nighttime illumination with the illumination light 30, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the front plate 11 of the gutter part 1 may have an R shape that diffuses the illumination light 30. By the front plate 11 having the R shape, the illumination light 30 as a downlight is diffused, and it is difficult for rainfall to occur, thereby providing brighter illumination.

  Moreover, the lighting built-in part 2 was provided in the position higher than the upper end of the rear plate 12 of the rain gutter part 1 because the upper end position of the rear plate 12 is the same as the line where the rain water 10 is full in the gutter part 1. This is to prevent the rainwater 10 flowing through the rain gutter section 1 from being applied to the lighting built-in section 2 and the lighting fixture 3 by being positioned higher than the full water line.

  Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in the case where a rain gutter is usually provided at the eaves, a rainwater jump curve and a rainwater splash curve are considered. It is also a preferred form to provide at a position that does not cover these rainwater flying curves and rainwater splashing curves.

  In addition to the LED 31, an incandescent light bulb or the like can be used as the lighting fixture 3, but it has a high brightness that enables night illumination with an illumination effect, a crime prevention effect, and a foot lighting effect like the downlight. And it can be said that the highly directional lighting fixture 3 is preferable.
