[0016] A lighting fixture 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting fixture 1 according to this embodiment is mounted on a mounting surface such as a ceiling (including an inclined surface). In the following description, the side of the lighting fixture 1 that emits light is referred to as the "irradiation surface" of the lighting fixture 1, and the side of the lighting fixture 1 that faces the mounting surface is referred to as the mounting surface (opposite the irradiation surface). The mounting surface side of the lighting fixture 1 is the rear side (back side) of the lighting fixture 1. When the lighting fixture 1 is mounted on a mounting surface such as a ceiling, and the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface is defined as the up-down direction of the lighting fixture 1, the mounting surface side of the lighting fixture 1 will be referred to as the "upper" side, and the direction toward the irradiation surface side of the lighting fixture 1 will be referred to as the "lower" side. A direction perpendicular to the up-down direction of the lighting fixture 1 will be referred to as the "side" of the lighting fixture 1. In the following description, the lighting fixture 1 viewed from above will be referred to as a plan view, and the lighting fixture 1 viewed from below will be referred to as a bottom view. The lighting fixture 1 viewed from a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction will be referred to as a side view. The cross-sectional view is the state in which the cross-sectional shape of the lighting fixture 1 is seen.

[0017] The following describes the lighting fixture 1 shown in Figures 1 to 12. The lighting fixture 1 is configured to be relatively large. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the lighting fixture 1 includes a main body 10, a shade 20, and a plurality of (three in this embodiment) holding members 30.

[0018] The main body 10 is fixed to a power outlet provided on the mounting surface via a mounting member (for example, a wiring component such as an adapter), and is mounted on the mounting surface. As shown in Figures 2 to 6, the main body 10 includes a main body chassis 11, a light source unit 12, a power supply unit, and a plurality of (three in this embodiment) temporary hanging members 40.

[0019] The main body chassis 11 is configured to be approximately disk-shaped in a plan view. The main body chassis 11 has a circular bottom plate 13 formed with the center protruding downward, and a flange 14 formed with a flat, annular surface that surrounds the outside of the bottom plate 13 in a bottom view. The bottom plate 13 has a mounting hole 16 in the center, which is an opening through which a mounting member (wiring component) is inserted for mounting to a mounting surface. The outer periphery 15 of the flange 14 extends downward from the flange 14. The main body chassis 11 is configured to have a diameter of approximately 500 mm. The light source unit 12 is configured as a light emitting module in which, for example, multiple LED elements are arranged on the surface of one side of a substrate. The light source unit 12 is configured by being fixed to the light source arrangement portion 13 of the main body chassis 11 so that the lower side of the main body 10 is the light irradiation surface side. The light source unit 12 is fixed to the light source arrangement portion 13 of the main body chassis 11 with fasteners such as screws. The light source unit 12 of this embodiment is configured in a substantially circular ring shape when viewed from the bottom. The power supply unit (not shown) is a power supply device that converts AC power, which is a commercial power source, into DC power and supplies it to the light source unit 12 to light up the light source unit 12. The power supply unit is provided in the main body chassis 11.

[0020] The temporary hanging member 40 is configured to be able to temporarily hang the shade 20 before attaching the shade 20 to the main body 10. The temporary hanging member 40 is provided so as to protrude downward from the underside of the flange 14 of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. As shown in FIG. 12, the temporary hanging member 40 temporarily hangs the shade 20 at a predetermined distance from the main body chassis 11. In this embodiment, three temporary hanging members 40 are arranged at intervals of approximately 120° in the circumferential direction of the flange 14 of the main body chassis 11, as shown in FIG. 6. The three temporary hanging members 40 are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the circumferential direction relative to the vertical direction. Note that the number of temporary hanging members 40 may be two or less, or four or more.

[0021] The shade 20 of this embodiment is formed into a box shape by combining a wooden frame with a translucent resin sheet with a Japanese paper pattern, and weighs, for example, approximately 2 kg, making it relatively heavy compared to shades made only of resin such as acrylic. As shown in Figures 2 to 5 and 7, the shade 20 is configured in a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape with a hollow interior. The shade 20 is detachably attached via a holding member 30 provided on the flange 14 of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The shade 20 is configured to surround the light source unit 12 when attached to the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The shade 20 includes a frame 21, a top surface 22, a support portion 23, a bottom surface 24, a plurality of (four in this embodiment) side surface portions 25, a plurality of (three in this embodiment) engagement portions 26, and an opening 27. The shade 20 is not limited to being configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and may be configured in other shapes (for example, a cylindrical shape). The number of engagement portions 26 may be two or less, or four or more.

[0022] The frame 21 of the shade 20 is, for example, a wooden frame made of wood. The top surface 22 and the support portion 23 are integrally formed and constitute the upper portion of the shade 20. The top surface 22 is a sheet-like member made of a translucent resin material. The top surface 22 is configured to be approximately square in plan view and has a through hole that is approximately square in plan view in the approximate center. The lengths of each of the four sides of the top surface 22 are approximately 800 mm. The top surface 22 is attached to the frame 21 on the upper side of the shade 20. The support portion 23 is a plate-like member made of a resin material that is harder than the top surface 22, the bottom surface 24, and the side surface portions 25. The support portion 23 is configured to be approximately square in plan view so as to generally match the shape of the through hole in the top surface 22. The support portion 23 is provided on the upper portion of the frame 21 so as to cover the through hole in the top surface 22. The support portion 23 has a through-hole in a generally circular shape in plan view at its approximate center. The circular through-hole of the support portion 23 is configured as an opening 27. The bottom surface portion 24 forms the lower part of the shade 20. The bottom surface portion 24 is a sheet-like member made of a translucent resin material and is configured to be generally square in plan view. The bottom surface portion 24 is attached to the frame body 21 so as to cover the lower side of the frame body 21. The side surface portion 25 forms the side portion of the shade 20. The side surface portion 25 is a sheet-like member made of a translucent resin material and is configured to be generally rectangular in side view. The length of the side of the side surface portion 25 is configured to be approximately 180 mm. The four side surface portions 25 are attached to the frame body 21 so as to cover the outside of the frame body 21 and are configured to form a square tube shape.

[0023] The diameter of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is configured to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. When the shade 20 is attached to the main body 10, the upper surface of the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is located inside the outer peripheral edge 15 of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10 and in a position close to the flange 14 of the main body chassis 11. The shade 20 is attached to the main body 10 with the opening 27 of the shade 20 covered by the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The engagement portion 26 engages with the holding member 30, thereby attaching the shade 20 to the main body 10. The engagement portion 26 protrudes inward from the edge 28 of the opening 27. The three engagement portions 26 are arranged at approximately 120° intervals in the circumferential direction of the opening 27. The three engagement portions 26 are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the circumferential direction relative to the vertical direction.

[0024] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the holding member 30 attaches and holds the shade 20 to the main body 10. The holding member 30 engages with the engaging portion 26 of the shade 20, thereby attaching the shade 20 to the main body 10. The holding member 30 is provided on the underside of the flange portion 14 of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The holding member 30 is arranged near the temporary hanging member 40. The three holding members 30 are arranged at intervals of approximately 120° in the circumferential direction of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The three holding members 30 are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the circumferential direction relative to the vertical direction. Note that the number of holding members 30 may be two or less or four or more.

[0025] When attaching the shade 20 to the main body 10, first, the shade 20 is positioned below the main body 10, which is attached to the mounting surface via an attachment member, and the shade 20 is temporarily suspended by the temporary suspension member 40 below the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10 (see FIG. 12 ). This temporarily suspended state allows the shade 20 to be guided to an appropriate position in the lateral direction relative to the main body chassis 11. Specifically, the shade 20 is guided to a position where the center of the opening 27 of the shade 20 coincides with the center of the main body chassis 11 in a bottom view. Next, the shade 20 temporarily suspended by the temporary suspension member 40 is lifted upward so that the edge of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10 and the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 are aligned. Then, in this state, the shade 20 is rotated circumferentially to one side (e.g., clockwise) in a bottom view, thereby engaging the engaging portion 26 of the main body 10 with the holding member 30. In this manner, the shade 20 is attached to the main body 10 by the holding member 30. Furthermore, by making the shade 20 temporarily hangable, even if the engagement between the engagement portion 26 and the holding member 30 is released due to external vibrations applied to the lighting fixture 1, the shade 20 remains in a temporarily hanging state and does not become too far removed from the main body 10. Furthermore, by returning the shade 20 to the temporarily hanging state, the position of the shade 20 in the lateral direction can be easily readjusted. Therefore, the shade 20 can be easily reattached to the main body 10.

[0026] As shown in Figures 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9, temporary hanging member 40 includes base 41 and protruding portion 42. Temporary hanging member 40 is formed by bending a flat metal member, so that base 41 and protruding portion 42 form a generally L-shape in side view. Base 41 is formed in a flat plate shape and is fixed and supported by main body chassis 11 of main body 10 with fasteners such as screws. Protruding portion 42 temporarily hangs shade 20 below bottom surface 24 of main body chassis 11 of main body 10. Protruding portion 42 is formed in a flat plate shape and is configured to protrude downward from the edge of base 41. Protruding portion 42 protrudes parallel to the radial and axial directions of main body chassis 11. The lower portion of protruding portion 42 protrudes radially outward beyond outer circumferential edge 15 of main body chassis 11. The protrusions 42 of the multiple temporary hanging members 40 are arranged radially so as to extend in the radial direction relative to the main body chassis 11. By arranging them in this manner, the light emitted from the light source unit 12 is less likely to be blocked, and the shade 20 is less likely to be shaded by the temporary hanging members 40.

[0027] The protruding portion 42 of the temporary hanging member 40 includes a placing portion 43 , a guide portion 44 , and a middle portion 45 .

[0028] The mounting portion 43 of the temporary hanging member 40 is configured so that the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is placed on it when the shade 20 is temporarily hung from the main body 10. The mounting portion 43 is configured as the upper edge of the protruding portion at the bottom of the protrusion 42. The mounting portion 43 is located below the main body chassis 11. The mounting portion 43 is configured parallel to the radial direction (horizontal direction) of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The mounting portion 43 is located below the outer peripheral edge 15 of the flange portion 14 of the main body chassis 11.

[0029] When the shade 20 is temporarily suspended from the main body 10 in a horizontal position as shown in FIG. 12 , from an inclined position relative to the main body chassis 11 as shown in FIG. 10 , the guide portion 44 of the temporary suspension member 40 guides the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 to the mounting portion 43. Specifically, the guide portion 44 guides the shade 20 to the mounting portion 43 by moving the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 toward the mounting portion 43 while contacting the outer edge portion of the protrusion 42. The guide portion 44 is formed by cutting out a portion of the outer edge of the protrusion 42 (the radially outer edge portion of the main body chassis 11 at the protrusion 42) in a concave shape. The guide portion 44 is located below the main body chassis 11 and closer to the base 41 than the mounting portion 43. The guide portion 44 is located radially inward of the main body chassis 11 than the outer circumferential edge 15 of the main body chassis 11.

[0030] When temporarily hanging the shade 20 using the temporary hanging members 40, first, the shade 20 is tilted relative to the main body 10 attached to the mounting surface, and the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is positioned so that it abuts or is close to the guide portions 44 of two of the three temporary hanging members 40 (see FIG. 10 or 11). With the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 positioned near the guide portions 44 of the two temporary hanging members 40 in this manner, the shade 20 is changed from the tilted position to a horizontal position. Next, the shade 20 in this horizontal position is moved downward, so that the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is placed in the horizontal position on the placement portions 43 of the three temporary hanging members 40 (see FIG. 12). At this time, the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 moves toward the mounting portion 43 while contacting the outer edge (guide portion 44) of the protrusion 42 of the temporary hanging member 40, and the guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 guides the shade 20 to the mounting portion 43 so that the shade 20 is temporarily hung on the main body 10 in a horizontal position. At this time, the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is positioned so as to be aligned with the middle portions 45 of the three temporary hanging members 40. When the shade 20 is in the temporarily hung state, the three temporary hanging members 40 restrict the shade 20 from moving in a lateral direction of the main body 10, and the shade 20 is held in an appropriate position relative to the lateral direction of the main body 10. By lifting the shade 20 upward from the temporarily hung state, the installer can attach the shade 20 to the main body 10 while maintaining the appropriate position relative to the lateral direction of the main body 10. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment where the shade 20 is relatively large compared to the main body chassis 11, it may be difficult for the installer to visually recognize the position of the main body chassis 11. Even when the main body chassis 11 is difficult to visually recognize due to the shade 20, the temporary hanging member 40 can guide the shade 20 to an appropriate position relative to the main body chassis 11. This allows the installer to easily attach the shade 20 to the main body 10 even when the position of the main body 10 is difficult to visually recognize.

[0031] As described above, the base 41 and protruding portion 42 of the temporary hanging member 40 are configured in a plate-like shape, and the edge 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 is placed on the mounting portion 43 of the protruding portion 42 when the shade 20 is temporarily hung on the main body 10. This increases the rigidity of the temporary hanging member 40 compared to a member configured by bending a wire. Therefore, even if the object to be temporarily hung (the shade 20) is relatively heavy, the temporary hanging can be performed without the temporary hanging member 40 deforming.

[0032] As described above, guide portion 44 of temporary hanging member 40 guides shade 20 to mounting portion 43 so that shade 20 is temporarily hung from main body 10 in a horizontal position from an inclined position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the main body 10 or temporary hanging member 40 from being deformed due to uneven load being applied to the main body 10 or temporary hanging member 40 caused by the shade 20 tilting in the temporarily hung state.

[0033] As described above, the guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 is formed by cutting out a portion of the outer edge of the protrusion 42, and the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 moves toward the mounting portion 43 while contacting the outer edge portion of the protrusion 42, thereby guiding the shade 20 to the mounting portion 43. Therefore, the movement of the hanging member 40 from the guide portion 44 to the mounting portion 43 at the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 can be performed stably.

[0034] As described above, before the shade 20 is attached to the main body 10, the shade 20 is temporarily suspended by the plurality of temporary suspension members 40. This makes it possible to more reliably maintain the temporarily suspended state of the shade 20.

[0035] As described above, the multiple temporary hanging members 40 are provided so as to protrude downward from the underside of the flange 14 on the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10, and are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the circumferential direction relative to the vertical direction. This makes it easier for the worker to see the temporary hanging members 40 when temporarily hanging the shade 20 using the temporary hanging members 40, improving the workability of temporarily hanging the shade 20.

[0036] As described above, the temporary suspending member 40 is disposed in the vicinity of the holding member 30. Therefore, when attaching the shade 20 to the main body 10 after the shade 20 has been temporarily suspended by the temporary suspending member 40, the worker can easily grasp the position of the holding member 30 by visually checking the temporary suspending member 40, thereby improving the workability of attaching the shade 20 to the main body 10.

[0037] The guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 includes a first guide portion 44a and a second guide portion 44b. The guide portion 44 guides the shade 20 to the mounting portion 43 by causing the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 to move toward the mounting portion 43 while contacting the first guide portion 44a. The first guide portion 44a is configured as an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the radial direction of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The first guide portion 44a is configured to incline radially outward from the main body chassis 11 from the upper side (the base 41 side) to the lower side (the mounting portion 43 side). The first guide portion 44a is located closer to the mounting portion 43 than the second guide portion 44b. The second guide portion 44b is configured as an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the radial direction of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. The second guide portion 44b is configured to incline radially inward from the top to the bottom of the main body chassis 11. The second guide portion 44b is located above the first guide portion 44a (toward the base 41) and is configured to be continuous with the first guide portion 44a. The first guide portion 44a and the second guide portion 44b are configured to be approximately V-shaped in a side view. The first guide portion 44a is formed to be inclined with respect to the second guide portion 44b at an angle between 60° and 120°, and preferably at approximately 90°. Furthermore, the first guide portion 44a and the second guide portion 44b are preferably formed to be continuous in a curved shape without corners. A curved shape reduces stress concentration compared to a shape with corners, making deformation, cracks, and the like less likely to occur when subjected to external impact. The distance between the outer end of the first guide portion 44a and the second guide portion 44b is configured to be longer than the thickness of the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 so that the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 can be positioned within the guide portion 44.

[0038] As described above, the guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 guides the shade 20 to the mounting portion 43 by moving the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 toward the mounting portion 43 while contacting the first guide portion 44a. Therefore, the movement of the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 from the guide portion 44 (first guide portion 44a) of the hanging member 40 to the mounting portion 43 can be performed stably.

[0039] As described above, the distance between the outer end of the first guide portion 44a and the second guide portion 44b of the temporary hanging member 40 is configured to be longer than the thickness of the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20, and the first guide portion 44a is inclined at an angle between 60° and 120° relative to the second guide portion 44b. Therefore, when temporarily hanging the shade 20 using the temporary hanging member 40, it becomes easier to position the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 in the guide portion 44 while the shade 20 is inclined relative to the main body 10, improving the ease of temporary hanging of the shade 20.

[0040] The intermediate portion 45 of the temporary hanging member 40 is part of the outer edge of the protruding portion 42, and is disposed between the mounting portion 43 and the guide portion 44. The intermediate portion 45 is configured to be continuous with the inner end portion of the mounting portion 43 and the lower end portion of the first guide portion 44a of the guide portion 44. The intermediate portion 45 is configured to be parallel to the axial direction (vertical direction) of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10.

[0041] As described above, the intermediate portion 45 of the temporary hanging member 40 is continuous with the inner end of the mounting portion 43 and the lower end of the first guide portion 44a of the guide portion 44, and is configured to be parallel to the axial direction of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10. Therefore, when the shade 20 is temporarily hung by the temporary hanging member 40, the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 passes through the intermediate portion 45, which is parallel to the axial direction of the main body chassis 11 of the main body 10, as it moves from a state in contact with the guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 to being placed on the mounting portion 43. This makes it easier to maintain the horizontal position of the shade 20 as the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 moves from the guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 to the mounting portion 43. Therefore, the movement of the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 from the guide portion 44 of the hanging member 40 to the mounting portion 43 can be performed stably.

[0042] Furthermore, the boundary between the intermediate portion 45 of the temporary hanging member 40 and the mounting portion 43 is configured in an arc shape. Therefore, when the shade 20 is temporarily hung by the temporary hanging member 40, the edge portion 28 of the opening 27 of the shade 20 can move smoothly from the guide portion 44 of the temporary hanging member 40 to the intermediate portion 45.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the shade 20 is formed in a box shape by combining a wooden frame and a translucent resin sheet with a Japanese paper pattern, but this is not limiting. The shade 20 can be made of a metal material, a resin material, a paper material, or any other suitable material in addition to the materials used in the above embodiment. Although the lighting fixture according to the present invention has been specifically described in the preferred embodiment, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
