Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lighting protective cover, and more particularly to a lighting protective cover for protecting the surface of a lighting fixture for sea fishing. [Background technology]

[0002] When fishing at night, you have to work in the dark, attaching tackle to the fishing line, tying the fishing line, and setting the lure. All of these tasks require the use of both hands, so it is difficult to work in the dark, and so it is common to work with a headlamp to illuminate your hands.

[0003] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional headlight. As shown in FIG. 1, headlight 20 is composed of belt 11 to be worn around the neck and lighting fixture 10 attached to belt 11, with lighting fixture 10 having two types of LED light-emitting surfaces 13. LED lights have two types of light-emitting surfaces 13 with different directivities, and are used for different purposes, such as LED lights that can strongly illuminate a narrow area and LED lights that can weakly illuminate a wide area. By wearing belt 11 around the neck and using the light emitted from light-emitting surface 13 of the LED light to illuminate the area around the user's hands, the user can perform the above-mentioned manual work efficiently.

[0004] For example, the headlight disclosed in Patent Document 1 is worn on the user's head to illuminate the area in front of the head, and includes a plurality of lights each having a light source, and the plurality of lights are arranged so that the illumination area of ​​the light from each light source on the illumination target in front is aligned in a predetermined direction. Using the headlight disclosed in Patent Document 1 has the advantage of allowing manual work to be done with both hands while ensuring brightness at hand. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-186693 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] When it rains while fishing, there is a concern that the lighting fixture may deteriorate if rain directly hits the lighting fixture, so improved water resistance is required. In addition, there is a problem that the surface of the lighting fixture may become dirty if the lighting fixture 10 is directly touched with hands that have handled fish, so improved stain resistance is also required.

[0007] The inventor has accumulated many years of research and development experience in the related field, and after many years of hard work, has thoroughly discussed the above drawbacks and actively sought solutions based on the above requirements, and finally completed this invention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The lighting protective cover of the present invention is for protecting the outer surface of a lighting device having one or more light-emitting surfaces, and is made of a material that is transparent to light emitted from the light-emitting surfaces and is also elastic. The lighting protective cover is provided with irradiation holes that are disposed in front of the light-emitting surfaces so that the light emitted from the light-emitting surfaces can be emitted through the irradiation holes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The lighting protective cover of the present invention has the excellent effect of further improving the water resistance and stain resistance of the lighting fixture. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 7] 1 is a top view photograph showing the state in which the lighting protection cover of the present invention is attached to a lighting fixture. [Figure 8] 1 is a rear view of the lighting protection cover of the present invention attached to a lighting fixture. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In order to more clearly understand the object, utility, features and structure of the present invention, preferred embodiments are illustrated and described below with reference to the drawings.

[0012] Figures 2 and 3 are respectively front and top photographs of the lighting protection cover of the present invention, Figures 4 and 5 are respectively perspective and top photographs explaining the procedure for attaching the lighting protection cover of the present invention to a lighting fixture, and Figures 6 to 8 are respectively front, top and back photographs showing the lighting protection cover of the present invention attached to a lighting fixture.

[0013] 2 and 3, the lighting protection cover 15 of the present invention has a shape that can accommodate the lighting fixture 10 inside, and is made of a material that is transparent to light emitted from the light-emitting surface 13 of the lighting fixture 10 and is also elastic. The lighting protection cover 15 is preferably made of rubber. A rubber lighting protection cover 15 has the advantage of being easy to attach to the lighting fixture 10 because of its elasticity.

[0014] Protecting the outer surface of lighting fixture 10 with lighting protective cover 15 made of such a material can improve the water resistance of lighting fixture 10. Furthermore, protecting the surface of lighting fixture 10 with lighting protective cover 15 can prevent dirt from adhering to lighting fixture 10, thereby improving anti-fouling performance.

[0015] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the light protective cover 15 of the present invention is attached to the outer surface of the lighting fixture 10 to protect the outer surface of the lighting fixture 10. As a result, even if a fisherman makes a somewhat violent movement and hits the lighting fixture 10, the light protective cover 15 can absorb the impact and prevent damage to the lighting fixture 10. The light protective cover 15 of the present invention has a cord hole 17 on its outer surface, through which the electrical cord 12 of the lighting fixture 10 is passed when attaching the cover. A slit is made in the cord hole 17, and the electrical cord 12 is inserted into the cord hole 17 through this slit.

[0016] As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the lighting protection cover 15 of the present invention is provided with irradiation holes 16, and by arranging the irradiation holes 16 in front of the light-emitting surface 13, light emitted from the light-emitting surface 13 is emitted through the irradiation holes 16. This allows the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 13 of the lighting fixture 10 to be emitted to the outside without being obstructed by the lighting protection cover 15. Furthermore, even when the lighting protection cover 15 is arranged in front of the light-emitting surface 13, the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 13 is not obstructed by the lighting protection cover 15, and therefore the lighting protection cover 15 is transparent, so that the light emitted from the light-emitting surface 13 is emitted to the outside without being obstructed by the lighting protection cover 15.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 4, the lighting protection cover 15 of the present invention is attached to the lighting fixture 10 by inserting it from the front of the lighting fixture 10. For this reason, the back side of the lighting protection cover 15 has an entrance gap through which the lighting fixture 10 can enter, as shown in FIG. 5. The lighting fixture 10 is attached to the lighting protection cover 15 by inserting the lighting fixture 10 through this entrance gap, as shown in FIG. 6. With the lighting protection cover 15 attached to the lighting fixture 10, the light-emitting surface 13 of the lighting fixture 10 is exposed to the outside, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, and the back surface of the lighting fixture 10 is also exposed to the outside. In other words, the lighting protection cover 15 of the present invention covers the entire surface of the lighting fixture 10 except for the light-emitting surface 13 and the back surface. Covering these areas effectively improves the water resistance, stain resistance, and impact resistance of the lighting fixture 10.

[0018] A review of the domestic and international technical information documents relating to the invention as described above clearly shows that there was no identical or similar structure prior to the invention. Therefore, the invention and its similar products are found to be inventive and practical. Therefore, the invention meets the requirements for registration under the Utility Model Act, namely, "creativity," "industrial applicability," and "inventive step."

[0019] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all uses of the present invention and equivalent structural modifications thereof are intended to be within the scope of the utility model claims of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
