Abstract

An indoor illuminating device includes a housing that has an opening part, a light source that is accommodated in the housing by being inserted into the housing via the opening part of the housing, electric wires that are led in the housing via the opening part of the housing, and supplies electric power to the light source, and a cover that covers the opening part of the housing. A plurality of through holes are formed between the housing and the cover in a state where the cover is installed to the housing. The electric wires are drawn out from the housing via the through holes. The cover is formed with a rib to which a corrugated tube through which the electric wires are inserted is fixed by being wound with tape.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An indoor illuminating device comprising:
a housing that has an opening part;
a light source that is accommodated in the housing by being inserted into the housing via the opening part of the housing;
electric wires that are led into the housing via the opening part of the housing, and supply electric power to the light source; and
a cover that covers the opening part of the housing,
wherein a plurality of through holes are formed between the housing and the cover in a state where the cover is installed to the housing,
wherein the electric wires are drawn out from the housing via the through holes, and
wherein the cover includes a rib to which a corrugated tube is fixed by being wound with tape, the corrugated tube having the electric wires extending therethrough.

2. The indoor illuminating device according to claim 1 , wherein the through holes are configured to lead the electric wires from the housing in a same direction at a different position.

3. An indoor illuminating device comprising:
a housing that has an opening part;
a light source that is accommodated in the housing by being inserted into the housing via the opening part of the housing;
electrical wires that are led into the housing via the opening part of the housing, and supply electrical power to the light source; and
a cover that covers the opening part of the housing, the cover including a convex portion protruding therefrom,
wherein a plurality of through holes are formed between the housing and the cover in a state where the cover is installed to the housing, the plurality of through holes being partitioned by the convex portion,
wherein the electrical wires are drawn out from the housing via the through holes, and
wherein the cover includes a rib to which a corrugated tube is fixed by being wound with tape, the corrugated tube having the electrical wires extending therethrough.

4. An indoor illuminating device comprising:
a housing that has an opening part;
a light source that is accommodated in the housing by being inserted into the housing via the opening part of the housing;
electric wires that are led into the housing via the opening part of the housing, and supply electric power to the light source; and
a cover that covers the opening part of the housing,
wherein a plurality of through holes are formed between the housing and the cover in a state where the cover is installed to the housing,
wherein the electric wires are drawn out from the housing via the through holes,
wherein the cover includes a rib to which a corrugated tube is fixed by being wound with tape, the corrugated tube having the electric wires extending therethrough, and the cover is formed with the rib at a position away from a central part of the cover, and
wherein the cover is installable to the housing in both a regular state and an upside down state.

5. The indoor illuminating device of claim 4 , wherein the through holes are configured to lead the electric wires from the housing in a same direction at a different position.
