Description

  The present invention relates to an LED lighting device that uses a battery as a power source and is hand-free by hanging on a neck at night or in a dark room.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, LED lighting apparatuses that are hung on a neck are known in a configuration in which a neck hanging string portion using a soft material and an illumination apparatus body are coupled with screws. A conventional neck LED lighting device is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the neck strap part 10 and the main body part 11 are coupled with a screw 9. Further, the contact 14 is switched by rotating the LED holding unit 13 incorporating the LED 12 to perform the ON / OFF operation (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-243538 A

  However, in the conventional LED lighting device for neck, it is necessary to remove the screw and remove the main body using a tool such as a screwdriver at the time of battery replacement.

  In addition, since the contact having the switch function is located outside the neck strap portion, there is a problem that rainwater and dust enter the contact portion to cause poor conduction.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, a battery as a power source, a main body for holding the LED for irradiation and the battery and an electrically connected switch, and a neck portion for a soft material such as rubber or elastomer The neck portion of the neck portion is formed in a box shape that encloses the battery and the switch in the main body and the irradiation LED, and locks the main body on the inner wall thereof. Two cords constructed so that the neck strap and the main body can be locked without using a binding part such as a screw by having a convex portion, and above the end of the neck strap. The main body can be pushed out by picking both sides of the base of the part.

  According to the present invention, since the end of the neck strap is formed in a box shape that wraps most of the main body, there is no intrusion of rainwater or dust, and there is no occurrence of poor conduction, etc. A highly efficient LED lighting device can be obtained.

  In addition, a convex part that locks the main body is provided on the inner wall of the neck strap part, and when the main body is inserted, the convex part is locked. It is possible to remove the lock between the neck strap and the lighting device body, and to replace the battery by removing the lighting device body from the neck strap without using a screwdriver or other tool. Become. As described above, since the waterproof property is good and the battery can be replaced without using a tool, an LED lighting device for neck hanging suitable for nighttime use in fishing or camping can be obtained.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a front cross-sectional view of a neck LED lighting device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view in the side direction, showing the configuration of the main body and the string portion when used as a lighting device.

  1 and 2, the main body 1 includes a battery 2, a switch 3, a control board 4, an LED 5, a case 6, and a lens 7. The battery 2, the switch 3, the control board 4, and the LED 5 are electrically connected to each other. Built in the case 6 in a state. The case 6 and the lens 7 are resin molded products, and are bonded by an adhesive or the like. Further, in FIG. 2, one of the four box-shaped surfaces at the end of the neck strap portion extends to support the main body in the pushing direction of the main body. A part of the face of the extending box-shaped face is notched, and is shorter than the face of the box-shaped face, and holds most of the main body 1 so as to wrap.

  The operation in this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The main body 1 is inserted from the opening of the neck strap portion 8. At this time, the main body 1 is locked by the convex protrusion 8a which is a convex portion provided on the inner wall of the string portion, and can be suitably used without being inadvertently dropped during use. In addition, since the switch 3 disposed inside the main body 1 can be operated by pressing the outer wall 8b of the neck strap 8, the intrusion of rainwater, dust or the like into the switch part and the electrical contact part is possible. In addition, it can be used safely in fishing and walking in the rain. In addition, the light intensity according to the user's preference can be selected by designing the circuit of the control board 4 so that the luminous intensity of the LED 5 can be changed each time the switch 3 is pressed, or switching between continuous lighting and blinking is possible. did.

  Next, a method of removing the main body when replacing the battery will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the neck LED lighting device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention when the battery is replaced, and shows the positional relationship between the main body and the neck strap when the battery is replaced. In FIG. 3, the string portion inner top surface 8d is deformed into a U shape by picking the string portion root 8c of the neck strap portion with fingers. Thereby, the main body 1 is pushed out and the battery can be replaced. Therefore, when replacing the battery, it is not necessary to remove the screw by using a tool such as a screwdriver and take out the main body, and it is not necessary to carry tools and can be suitably used even outdoors such as fishing.

  FIG. 4 is an external view of the LED lighting device for necking according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the surroundings can be illuminated in a hands-free manner by hooking the necking string portion on the neck or the like. Yes.

  The material of the neck strap 8 is preferably a soft material such as rubber or elastomer from the viewpoint of easy attachment / detachment to the neck, ease of pressing the switch, and tightly wrapping the main body.

  The LED lighting device for a neck according to the present invention can be replaced without using a tool and can provide a highly waterproof lighting device. It is useful as an LED lighting device or the like that is used around the neck in a dark room or the like and used free of charge.
