  Third, the illumination unit is provided with a battery built-in portion.

  According to the above first to third inventions, 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 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, and furthermore, the battery for driving the lighting fixtures is also provided in the built-in lighting eaves, so that the appearance of the entire building is not impaired. .

  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 is a long plate-shaped thing along the longitudinal direction of the rain gutter part 1 which has the form which can incorporate the lighting fixture 3, and the upper end of the front board 11 which comprises the gutter part 1 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 bottom plate 21 which comprises the illumination incorporating part 2. FIG.

  The luminaire 3 is continuously arranged along the longitudinal direction of the illumination built-in unit 2 and emits illumination light 30 downward from the bottom plate 21 of the illumination built-in unit 2.

  As this lighting fixture 3, LED31 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 in the longitudinal direction in a case body 32 having a long rectangular tube shape that matches the form of the mounting portion in the lighting mounting portion 2. The lighting unit 33 may be incorporated into the lighting built-in unit 2. Fixing to the illumination assembly 2 is performed by bonding to the horizontal bottom plate 21 or screwing.

  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.

  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 FIGS. 4 and 5 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, the reason why the illumination built-in part 2 is protruded 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 night illumination by the illumination light 30, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the front plate 11 of the gutter portion 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.

  As a form that further considers the influence of rainfall, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the front plate 22 constituting the lighting built-in portion 2 is inclined backward, or the upper end of the front plate 22 is bent toward the rain gutter portion 1 side. Or you may. According to the former inclined form, it is possible to minimize dripping during rain, and according to the latter bent form, the bent part 23 can play a role like an umbrella covering the upper side of the lighting fixture 3. This is a waterproof measure for the lighting fixture 3.

  Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in the case where a rain gutter is usually provided at the eaves, a rainwater jumping curve and a rainwater scattering curve are considered. It is also a preferable form to provide at a position that does not fall on these rainwater splash curves and rainwater splash 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.

  By the way, in this invention, the battery built-in part 4 for the battery which drives the lighting fixture 3 arrange | positioned at the illumination built-in part 2 as mentioned above is further provided in the light built-in part 2.

  More specifically, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the lighting unit 33 described above incorporates the battery 41 together with the LED 31 (see FIG. 3), and can be exchanged by opening and closing the battery lid 42.

  By attaching the lighting unit 33 to the lighting built-in unit 2, the battery 41 as well as the lighting fixture 3 can be fixed to the lighting built-in unit 2 more safely. Also, during the maintenance, as illustrated in FIG. 7, since the lighting unit 33 is located above the front plate 11 of the rain gutter unit 1, the lighting built-in eaves A remains attached to the eaves. The battery 41 can be easily replaced.

  The battery 41 is not particularly limited as long as it can drive the lighting fixture 3, and may be a rechargeable battery.
