[0004] However, oil lanterns and the sea squirt glasses for oil lanterns are quite large in size, so if you have a lot of luggage when camping, it can be difficult to carry multiple sea squirt glasses. Furthermore, if there is not enough space to carry the oil lantern itself, you may have no choice but to bring an LED lantern that uses an LED (Light Emitting Diode) light instead (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0005] When this happened frequently, oil lantern enthusiasts had no opportunity to use the various designs of sea lanterns they owned, and they were unable to make use of the sea lanterns they had collected.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an LED light holder that makes effective use of the sea sill of an oil lantern and can be used as a table light by using the sea sill for an LED light, and a sea sill conversion device for an oil lantern using this. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to the present embodiment is an LED light holder having a circular ring shape, The LED light bulb holder has an opening with an inner surface structure into which the bulb holder can be inserted and fixed. It has an outer diameter and bottom width that allows it to be placed on the upper end surface of a glass cover for an oil lantern, and is tall enough to expose the bulb portion of the LED light. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to this invention, the hood of an oil lamp can be applied to an LED light, and the hood can be used as an LED lantern. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a squirrel glass conversion device for an oil lantern according to this embodiment. The squirrel glass conversion device for an oil lantern according to this embodiment includes an LED light holder 10, a ring member 20, a tray member 30, a screw 40, and a base 50. Fig. 1 also shows a squirrel glass 60 to which the squirrel glass conversion device for an oil lantern is applied.

[0012] In the oil lantern sea lantern conversion device according to this embodiment, the tray member 30 is fixed onto the base 50 by the screws 40, and the sea lantern 60 is placed on the tray member 30. In addition, the ring member 20 is placed on the top of the sea lantern 60, and the LED light holder 10 is placed on the ring member 20. In other words, the sea lantern 60 that is applied to the LED lamp is sandwiched between the base 50 and the tray member 30 from below, and the LED light holder 10 and the ring member 20 from above.

[0013] The LED light holder 10 is a member for holding an LED light (not shown in FIG. 1) and has a shape that is approximately cylindrical. As will be described in detail later, the LED light is inserted from above and held in a state where the LED light extends downward from the LED light holder 10.

[0014] The LED light holder 10 has an upper surface 11, an outer surface 12, and an inner surface 13, and a notch 13a is provided in part of the inner surface 13. The LED light is inserted into the inside of the inner surface 13, and the inner surface 13 holds the LED light.

[0015] The LED light holder may be made of various materials, for example, wood. It has appropriate elasticity and aesthetics, and can hold the LED light securely, while the beauty of the unique wood material can decorate the LED table lamp. In terms of functionality, the LED light holder 10 can also be made of resin, and may be made of resin depending on the application.

[0016] The ring member 20 is a member provided to cover the upper part of the sea squirt glass 60. The ring member 20 is made of a shiny, highly decorative metal member such as brass. The ring member 20 covers the upper part of the sea squirt glass and functions to enhance the aesthetics of the table lamp. In addition, the upper surface 21 is wide and serves to stably support the bottom surface of the LED light holder 10. The side surface 22 covers the periphery of the upper part of the sea squirt glass 60 and serves to enhance the decorativeness.

[0017] The squirt glass 60 is a squirt glass for oil lanterns. Many squirt glasses for oil lanterns have highly decorative designs and are often aesthetically pleasing. In addition, there are many designs and types, so camping enthusiasts often own multiple squirt glasses for oil lanterns, but they do not always have many opportunities to use them. In many cases, they are not used effectively. Therefore, as long as the sizes of the upper opening 61 and the bottom 62 are compatible, various squirt glasses 60 can be used. The squirt glass 60 shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and various shapes and appearances can be applied. In addition, the bottom 62 is also configured as an opening like the upper opening 61.

[0018] The tray member 30 is a member for receiving the bottom surface of the sea squirt glass 60, and has a tray-like shape. The tray member 30 has a bottom surface 31 and a side surface 32, and receives the bottom 62 of the sea squirt glass 60 on the bottom surface 31. Therefore, the diameter of the bottom surface 31 of the tray member is configured to be larger than the diameter of the bottom surface 62 of the sea squirt glass 60. The tray member 30 is also configured from a metal such as shiny brass, and the side surface 32 covers the bottom 62 of the sea squirt glass 60, fulfilling a decorative role of enhancing aesthetics.

[0019] An opening 31a is provided in the center of the bottom surface 31 of the tray member 30, and a screw 40 is passed through the opening 31a and fixed to an opening 51a of the base 50. Note that, although the openings 31a and 51a are provided in the center and fixed by a single screw 40 in Fig. 1, the number and positions of the openings 31a and 51a can be variously configured depending on the application.

[0020] The base 50 is a support base for supporting the sea glass 60 and all other parts of the sea glass conversion device for oil lanterns. The base 50 has an upper surface 51 and side surfaces 52, and an opening 51a is provided in the center of the upper surface 51. The upper surface 51 receives and supports the sea glass 60 via the tray member 30.

[0021] In FIG. 1, the base 50 is configured to be circular, but it can be configured to be various shapes, such as rectangular or other polygonal, as long as it can receive the bottom surface 62 of the glass 60 and the tray member 30.

[0022] The material of the base 50 may be wood or a material such as resin, similar to the LED light holder 10. Since the base 50 needs to have a certain degree of durability and strength, it is preferable to use a wooden material.

[0023] 2 is an exploded side view of the oil lantern sea lantern conversion device according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the tray member 30 is fixed onto the base 50 with the screw 40, and the sea lantern 60 is placed on the tray member 30. The ring member 20 covers the upper end of the sea lantern 60. By placing the LED light holder 10 on the ring member 20, the oil lantern sea lantern conversion device according to this embodiment converts the oil lantern sea lantern sea lantern 60 into an LED table lamp.

[0024] 3 is a perspective view of a squirrel glass 60 converted into an LED table lamp using the oil lantern conversion device according to this embodiment. The squirrel glass 60 is compactly installed on the base 50, and has a compact shape as an LED table lamp. The squirrel glass 60, which can only be used for oil lanterns as it is, can be used as a highly aesthetic LED table lamp.

[0025] Fig. 4 is a side view of a sea squirt 60 converted into an LED table lamp using the sea squirt conversion device for an LED lantern according to this embodiment. In Fig. 4, the LED light holder 10 and base 50 are made of wood, and the ring member 20 and tray member 30 are made of glossy brass, resulting in a decorative design that makes it possible to create an LED lamp that also functions as a highly aesthetic interior item.

[0026] Next, a procedure for fixing an LED light to the LED light holder 10 will be described.

[0027] 5 is a diagram showing an example of an LED light 70. As long as the LED light 70 is a size that can be stored in the sea squirt glass 60, various kinds of LED lights 70 can be used. However, since the shape and size of the inner surface 13 of the LED light holder 10 must be able to properly hold the LED light 70, it is preferable to determine a specific LED light 70 and configure the LED light holder 10 to fit that LED light.

[0028] The LED light 70 is preferably as small as possible, and for example, the Lighthouse Micro by Goal Zero may be used. This LED light is very compact and has recently become the most popular product, so it is excellent as an LED light to be used as the light source of an LED table lamp. The LED light holder 10 according to this embodiment will be described using an example in which the Lighthouse Micro by Goal Zero is used as the LED light 70.

[0029] The LED light 70 has a main body 71 in which the LED light resides, an LED support 72 that has the function of turning on the LED, and a bottom 73 on which the LED light is placed. The LED support 72 and bottom 73 are black, and the main body 71 is transparent.

[0030] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the state where the LED light 70 has begun to be inserted into the LED light holder 10. As shown in Fig. 6, the LED light 70 is inserted into the opening 14 of the LED light holder from the top surface 11 side. As shown in Fig. 6, the main body 71 faces the inner circumferential surface 13 of the LED light holder 10.

[0031] Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which the LED light 70 has been further lowered. In Fig. 7, the LED support part 72 of the LED light faces the inner peripheral surface 13 of the LED light holder 10, but the LED light 70 is not yet fixed and held by the LED light holder 10.

[0032] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing the state in which the LED light 70 is fixed to the LED light holder 10. In Fig. 8, the black LED support part 72 is completely covered by the side surface 12 of the LED light holder 10. This prevents the black part from being exposed inside the glass 60, and allows the LED table light to emit beautiful light.

[0033] In this way, the LED light holder 10 according to this embodiment can completely cover the LED supporting portion 72 of the LED light 70, thereby improving the aesthetic appeal of the LED table light.

[0034] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the LED light holder 10 holding the LED light 70. Note that the LED light 70 is a cross-sectional view of the exterior, and wiring and the like are omitted. As shown in FIG. 9, the inner circumferential surface 13 of the LED light holder 10 has a tapered shape in which the diameter of the LED support part 72 of the LED light 70 becomes smaller as it goes downward, so that the inner circumferential surface 13 of the LED light holder 10 also has a tapered shape in which the diameter of the inner circumferential surface 13 becomes smaller in accordance with the tapered shape. This allows the LED support part 72 of the LED light 70 to be fixed and held by the inner circumferential surface 13 of the LED light holder 10. In other words, the LED support part 72 and the inner circumferential surface 13 engage with each other to fix the LED support part 72.

[0035] The height of the inner circumferential surface 13 of the LED holding part 10 is set higher than the LED support part 72 of the LED light 70, and is configured so as not to expose the black color of the LED support part 72. As a result, the black color of the LED support part 72 is not exposed to the sea sill glass 60, and only the light from the main body part 71 of the LED light 70 is emitted, enabling maximum brightness to be output and beautiful emission of light only to be achieved.

[0036] Next, the LED light holder 10 will be described in detail.

[0037] Figure 10 is a detailed view of the LED light holder 10. Figure 10(a) is a plan view of the LED light holder 10. As shown in Figure 10(a), the LED light holder 10 has a circular upper surface 11, a tapered inner side surface 13, a notch 13a, and a notch bottom surface 13b.

[0038] The notch 13a is an area capable of receiving a metal fitting (not shown) for hanging the LED light 70 when the metal fitting is provided on the upper surface of the LED light 70. The bottom surface 13b of the notch is a flat surface on which the metal fitting can be placed. This allows the metal fitting for hanging the LED light 1 to be accommodated and prevents the metal fitting from protruding higher than the upper surface 11. This enhances the aesthetic appeal of the LED table light.

[0039] 10(b) is a perspective view of the LED light holder 10 as seen from the front. When seen from the front, it has a rectangular shape, but the corners 11a may be left as right angles, may be cut to provide grooves 11b, or may be rounded to have R shapes 11c. The shape of the corners 11a can be selected appropriately depending on the application and design.

[0040] Fig. 10(c) is a cross-sectional view showing the A-A' cross section of Fig. 10(a). As shown in Fig. 10(c), the portion where the notch 13a is not formed is a tapered inner side surface 13. Note that a groove 15 may be provided at the bottom as necessary.

[0041] Figure 10(d) is a perspective view of Figure 10(a) seen from the right side. As shown in Figure 10(d), the external shape is the same as the front view shown in Figure 10(b).

[0042] Fig. 10(e) is a cross-sectional view showing the B-B' cross section of Fig. 10(a). As shown in Fig. 10(e), a notch 13a and a notch bottom surface 13b are formed on the inner side surface 13. The fitting of the LED lamp 70 can be accommodated in this recessed area.

[0043] Fig. 11 shows an LED light holder 101 in a different form from that shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 11(a) is a top view of the LED light holder 101. The LED light holder 101 has an upper surface 111 that is annular like the upper surface 11 of the LED light holder 10, but differs from the LED light holder 10 in that it has inner sides 131, 133 and an inner bottom surface 132. It has an inner side surface 131 with a large diameter and an inner side surface 133 with a small diameter, and is provided with an inner bottom surface 132 that connects the inner sides 131, 133 to each other.

[0044] 11(b) is a see-through view seen from the front of the LED light holder 101. When seen from the front, it has a rectangular shape.

[0045] Fig. 11(c) is a cross-sectional view showing the CC' cross section of Fig. 11(a). As shown in Fig. 11(c), the inner side surface 133 at the bottom forms a tapered surface, while the inner side surface 131 at the top forms a vertical surface. Also, the inner bottom surface 132 forms a horizontal surface. This shape fits snugly when the upper part of the LED light 70 has a stepped side shape. Even if there is no stepped shape, the LED light 70 can be held by the inner side surface 133 at the bottom, so the LED light holding part 101 may adopt such a stepped shape.

[0046] In this way, the LED light holders 10, 101 can be configured in various shapes depending on the application.

[0047] Fig. 12 is a detailed view of the base 50. Fig. 12(a) is a top view of the base 50. As shown in Fig. 12(a), the base 50 may be configured to be circular. This allows for a well-balanced shape with a circular silhouette as a whole, and allows for a compact and small-sized configuration as a whole.

[0048] Fig. 12(b) is a front view of the base 50. As shown in Fig. 12(b), the corner 51b may be a right angle, may have a groove 51c formed therein, or may be rounded to have an R shape 51d. In this way, the outer corner 51b of the base 50 may have various shapes depending on the application. This is the same as the LED light holders 10 and 101.

[0049] Fig. 13 is a diagram showing a base 501 having a different aspect from the base 50. Fig. 13(a) is a top view of the base 501. As shown in Fig. 13(a), the base 501 may be configured in a rectangular shape. This allows the base 501 to stably support an upper part such as the glass 60.

[0050] Fig. 13(b) is a front view of the base 501 in Fig. 13(a). As shown in Fig. 13(b), the front view of the base 501 has a shape longer in the horizontal direction than the base 50. Similar to the base 50, the corners 501b of the base 501 may be configured as right angles, may have grooves 501c formed therein, or may be configured as rounded R shapes 501d. In this way, the configuration of the outer corners 51b of the base 501 can have various shapes depending on the application.

[0051] 1 to 13, the whole of the glass sill conversion device for oil lanterns has been explained, but the LED light holders 10, 101 can be used and sold separately. In other words, it is possible to use only the LED light holders 10, 101, the ring member 20, and the glass sill 60, and install without using the base 50 and the tray member 40, or it is also possible to use only the ED light holders 10, 101 and the glass sill 60.

[0052] In this way, the components of the oil lantern sea glass conversion device can be selectively combined to use only the components required depending on the application.

[0053] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and substitutions can be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0054] The present invention can be used for an LED light holder and a sea glass conversion device for an oil lantern using the same. [Explanation of symbols]
