Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an illuminator whose operational switch is not hindrance and whose external appearance is improved. CONSTITUTION:The reflective face 6 on the surface of an appliance main body 1 is formed in about spherical face as a whole. The lower face part of a lamp holding body 3 to be fitted in a fitting recessed part 7 formed in the lower face part of the reflective face 6 and an operational part 11 at the tip of a fitting projection 10 in which a contact type switch is installed are also formed in about spherical faces. The curvature of the lower face part of the almost spherical reflective face 6 of the appliance main body and the curvature of the almost spherical face of the lower face part of the lamp holding body 3 are so formed as to be almost the same face. Since the reflective face 6 of the appliance main body 1, the lamp holding body 3, and the operational part 11 of the contact type switch are composed in almost the same face, the external appearance becomes simple and is improved. Due to the contact type switch, a pulling string becomes unnecessary and a switch for operation does not become hindrance.
