Description
【０００１】[0001]
本考案は、局部洗浄機能を備えた衛生洗浄装置に係り、特に洗浄やその他の機 能部の操作のために備えるリモコン装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a sanitary cleaning device having a local cleaning function, and more particularly to a remote control device provided for cleaning and operating other functional parts.
【０００２】[0002]
局部洗浄機能を備えた衛生洗浄装置は、便器本体に固定したケーシングの中に その機能部を納めたものが一般に広く利用さている。そして、ノズル装置による 洗浄や温風ファンによる乾燥等の操作及び洗浄水や温風温度の設定は、ケーシン グの表面に設けた操作盤のほか、壁掛け式又は手持ち式のリモコン装置によって 行われるのが通常である。 A sanitary washing device having a local cleaning function is generally widely used in which the functional part is housed in a casing fixed to the toilet body. The operations such as washing with a nozzle device and drying with a hot air fan, and setting of the washing water and hot air temperature are performed not only by the operation panel provided on the surface of the casing, but also by a wall-mounted or hand-held remote control device. Is normal.
【０００３】 リモコン装置を備えた衛生洗浄装置の設備として、たとえば特開昭６４−８０ ６３５号公報に記載のものがある。図１０はその概要を示すものであり、便器本 体５０に設けた衛生洗浄装置のケーシング５１の上面に受光部５２を設け、リモ コン装置５３を壁掛け式として配置している。As equipment for a sanitary washing device equipped with a remote control device, there is, for example, the one described in JP-A-64-80635. FIG. 10 shows an outline thereof, in which a light receiving portion 52 is provided on the upper surface of a casing 51 of the sanitary washing device provided in the toilet body 50, and the remote control device 53 is arranged as a wall-mounted type.
【０００４】 リモコン装置５３は各操作を行うためのスイッチを備え、これを押すことによ って投光部から図中の一点鎖線で示す方向に赤外線を放出し、天井５４で反射し た光信号を受光部５２が受光する。これによって、衛生洗浄装置のコントローラ に信号が入力され、情報に従って洗浄や乾燥等の機能部を作動させる。The remote control device 53 is provided with a switch for performing each operation, and when this switch is pressed, infrared rays are emitted from the light projecting section in the direction indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure, and the light reflected by the ceiling 54 is reflected. The light receiving unit 52 receives the signal. As a result, a signal is input to the controller of the sanitary washing device, and the functional units such as washing and drying are activated according to the information.
【０００５】 また、受光部５２をケーシング５１の底面部に設け、リモコン装置５３からの 光信号を床５５で反射させて信号を伝達するようにしたものもある。There is also a device in which the light receiving portion 52 is provided on the bottom surface of the casing 51, and an optical signal from the remote control device 53 is reflected on the floor 55 to transmit the signal.
【０００６】[0006]
ところが、リモコン装置５３の上の壁に棚等を設けてしまうと、この棚によっ てリモコン装置５３から天井５４に向かう光路が遮断されてしまい、機能部を使 うことができなくなる。このため、リモコン装置５３を手にとって操作する必要 があり、使い勝手に影響を及ぼす。 However, if a shelf or the like is provided on the wall above the remote control device 53, the optical path from the remote control device 53 to the ceiling 54 is blocked by this shelf, and the functional unit cannot be used. Therefore, it is necessary to operate the remote control device 53 by hand, which affects usability.
【０００７】 また、便所の天井が吹き抜け状となっている場合では、壁掛け式のリモコン装 置５３の投光部が天井を向く姿勢であると、光信号の反射が十分に得られない。 このため、受光部５２での受信がし難くなり、機能部の作動に障害を生じる。Further, in the case where the ceiling of the toilet is blown-out, if the light projecting portion of the wall-mounted remote control device 53 is in a position facing the ceiling, sufficient reflection of optical signals cannot be obtained. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the light receiving unit 52 to receive the signal, and the operation of the functional unit is impaired.
【０００８】 一方、受光部５２をケーシング５１の底面側に設けて床５５からの反射光を利 用する場合では、棚板等から受ける影響は避けることはできる。しかしながら、 受光部５２が床５４に余り近過ぎると、受光部５２への光が届き難いことがあり 、機能部の作動も万全とは言えない。On the other hand, when the light receiving portion 52 is provided on the bottom surface side of the casing 51 and the reflected light from the floor 55 is used, it is possible to avoid the influence of the shelf plate or the like. However, if the light receiving unit 52 is too close to the floor 54, it may be difficult for light to reach the light receiving unit 52, and the operation of the functional unit may not be perfect.
【０００９】 このように、従来のリモコン装置では、天井や床を反射面として利用するので 、リモコン装置の投光部から衛生洗浄装置の受光部までの光路が適正に保たれず 、機能部の作動に影響を与えてしまうという問題があった。As described above, in the conventional remote control device, since the ceiling or floor is used as the reflecting surface, the optical path from the light projecting part of the remote control device to the light receiving part of the sanitary washing device cannot be properly maintained, and the function part There was a problem that it affected the operation.
【００１０】 本考案において解決すべき課題は、壁にセットしたリモコン装置からの光信号 を衛生洗浄装置の光信号受信部に確実に送信できるようにすることにある。An object to be solved in the present invention is to ensure that an optical signal from a remote control device set on a wall can be reliably transmitted to an optical signal receiving portion of a sanitary washing device.
【００１１】[0011]
本考案は、少なくとも局部洗浄機能と、各機能部の作動を制御する制御手段と 、外部からの光信号を受信して該光信号を前記制御手段に送る光信号受信手段と を備えた衛生洗浄装置に対し、前記光信号受信手段に光信号を送る光信号送信手 段を備えた壁に着脱自在なリモコン装置であって、前記光信号送信手段は、前記 壁にセットした姿勢のとき少なくとも側方に向けて信号を送信可能としたことを 特徴とする。 The present invention provides a sanitary cleaning device having at least a local cleaning function, a control unit for controlling the operation of each functional unit, and an optical signal receiving unit for receiving an optical signal from the outside and sending the optical signal to the control unit. A remote control device which is detachable from a wall and has an optical signal transmitting means for transmitting an optical signal to the optical signal receiving means, wherein the optical signal transmitting means is at least on a side when it is set on the wall. The feature is that the signal can be transmitted toward the user.
【００１２】[0012]
リモコン装置を壁にセットしたとき、赤外線発光素子等による光信号送信手段 からは、側方に向けて光信号が放出される。このため、リモコン装置を備えた壁 に連なった向きの異なる壁又は扉に光信号が当り、壁反射を利用して光信号が衛 生洗浄装置の光信号受信手段に送られる。すなわち、便所の中が壁や扉で区切ら れた空間であることから、壁や扉に向けて光信号を放出してこれを反射させるこ とにより、天井や床面を反射面とすることなく光信号を光信号受信手段に送るこ とが可能となる。 When the remote control device is set on the wall, the optical signal transmitting means such as an infrared light emitting element emits an optical signal to the side. Therefore, an optical signal hits a wall or a door which is connected to the wall provided with the remote control device and has a different direction, and the optical signal is sent to the optical signal receiving means of the sanitary washing device by utilizing the wall reflection. In other words, since the inside of the toilet is a space separated by walls and doors, by emitting an optical signal toward the walls and doors and reflecting them, the ceiling and floor surfaces do not have to be reflective surfaces. It becomes possible to send the optical signal to the optical signal receiving means.
【００１３】[0013]
図１は本考案のリモコン装置を備えた便器設備の斜視図である。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of toilet equipment equipped with a remote control device of the present invention.
【００１４】 図において、衛生洗浄装置は便器本体５０に固定したケーシング１によってそ の全体がカバーされている。ケーシング１の中には、局部洗浄用のノズル装置や 乾燥用の温風ファン等の機能部が組み込まれ、ケーシング１の表面に設けた操作 盤１ａ又は壁掛け式のリモコン装置２によって機能部を操作可能としている。In the figure, the sanitary washing device is entirely covered by a casing 1 fixed to a toilet body 50. A functional unit such as a nozzle device for local cleaning and a hot air fan for drying is incorporated in the casing 1, and the functional unit is operated by an operation panel 1a provided on the surface of the casing 1 or a wall-mounted remote control device 2. It is possible.
【００１５】 リモコン装置２は、従来例と同様に、赤外線を利用した光信号をその指令に応 じて発光するもので、この光信号を受けてコントローラに伝達するための受光部 １ｂを光信号受信手段としてケーシング１の上面に設ける。受光部１ｂはリモコ ン装置２からの赤外線信号を受ける赤外線受光素子をケーシング１の外に臨む姿 勢として組み込んだものである。The remote control device 2 emits an optical signal using infrared rays in response to its command, similarly to the conventional example. The light receiving unit 1b for receiving this optical signal and transmitting it to the controller outputs the optical signal. The receiving means is provided on the upper surface of the casing 1. The light receiving portion 1b is an infrared light receiving element that receives an infrared signal from the remote control device 2 and is incorporated so as to face the outside of the casing 1.
【００１６】 受光部１ｂは、ケーシング１に対して様々な位置に設けることができる。図２ は受光部１ｂの位置の例を示す概略図であり、同図の（ａ）は図１の場合と同様 にケーシング１の左側袖部の上面に受光部１ｂを設けた例である。The light receiving portion 1 b can be provided at various positions with respect to the casing 1. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an example of the position of the light receiving portion 1b, and FIG. 2 (a) is an example in which the light receiving portion 1b is provided on the upper surface of the left sleeve portion of the casing 1 as in the case of FIG.
【００１７】 同図の（ｂ）は、ケーシング１の袖部の底面に受光部１ｂを設けたものである 。この場合では、リモコン装置２の投光部との関係が適正であれば支障なく使え るが、受光部１ｂと床との間の距離が短く受光部１ｂがケーシング１の底面によ って隠れやすくなるので、光が届き難いとう恐れがある。このため、受光部１ｂ 自体の配置に制限を受けるほか、リモコン装置２の取付け位置の自由度も小さく なる。In FIG. 1B, the light receiving portion 1b is provided on the bottom surface of the sleeve portion of the casing 1. In this case, the remote controller 2 can be used without any problem if it has a proper relationship with the light emitting part, but the distance between the light receiving part 1b and the floor is short, and the light receiving part 1b is hidden by the bottom surface of the casing 1. Since it becomes easier, it may be difficult for the light to reach. For this reason, the arrangement of the light receiving portion 1b itself is limited, and the degree of freedom of the mounting position of the remote control device 2 is also reduced.
【００１８】 また、同図の（ｃ）はケーシング１の側面又は背面に受光部１ｂを備える例で ある。側面に受光部１ｂを配置したとき、便所が狭くて間口方向の壁と受光部１ ｂとの間の距離が短いとき、ケーシング１の底面に設ける同図（ｂ）の場合と同 様な障害を生じる。そして、ケーシング１の背面に受光部１ｂを設ける場合、便 器本体５０の背部にキャビネットを置いたりする据付けも多いので、施工の面で の問題が生じやすい。Further, FIG. 1C is an example in which the light receiving portion 1b is provided on the side surface or the back surface of the casing 1. When the light receiving part 1b is placed on the side surface and the distance between the front wall and the light receiving part 1b is narrow due to the narrow toilet, the same obstacle as that in the case of FIG. Cause When the light receiving portion 1b is provided on the back surface of the casing 1, installation is often performed by placing a cabinet on the back of the toilet body 50, and thus problems in terms of construction are likely to occur.
【００１９】 更に、同図の（ｄ）はケーシング１の前面側に受光部１ｂを設ける例である。 この場合では、便座に人が座ったときに脚や衣服で受光部１ｂが隠れてしまいや すく、使い辛い傾向がある。Further, FIG. 1D is an example in which the light receiving portion 1b is provided on the front surface side of the casing 1. In this case, when the person sits down on the toilet seat, the light receiving portion 1b is likely to be hidden by the legs or clothes, which tends to be difficult to use.
【００２０】 このように、受光部１ｂはケーシング１の表面の何処にも設けることはできる が、機能部の作動の確実性や使い勝手の面から、図２の（ａ）のようにケーシン グ１の上面に備えることが総合的に見て好ましい。したがって、実施例では、図 １に示すようにケーシング１を正面から見て左側の袖部の上面に設けるものとす る。As described above, the light receiving portion 1b can be provided anywhere on the surface of the casing 1, but from the viewpoint of reliability of operation of the functional portion and usability, the casing 1 as shown in FIG. Comprehensively, it is preferable to provide it on the upper surface. Therefore, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the casing 1 is provided on the upper surface of the left sleeve portion when viewed from the front.
【００２１】 図３はリモコン装置２を示す概略図であって、同図の（ａ）は正面図、同図の （ｂ）は左側面図、同図の（ｃ）は光信号送信手段としての発光素子の配置を示 す内部の概略平面図である。3A and 3B are schematic diagrams showing the remote control device 2. FIG. 3A is a front view, FIG. 3B is a left side view, and FIG. 3C is an optical signal transmitting means. FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the inside showing the arrangement of the light emitting elements of FIG.
【００２２】 リモコン装置２は、図１に示すように、壁に固定したハンガー２ａに着脱自在 であり、このハンガー２ａに掛けたまま操作できるほか、手に取って使うことも できる。リモコン装置２の前面には、洗浄，乾燥，停止等のための複数のスイッ チ２ｂ，２ｃ，２ｄ及び洗浄水や温風の温度を設定するための調節スイッチ２ｅ ，２ｆを設ける。As shown in FIG. 1, the remote control device 2 can be attached to and detached from a hanger 2a fixed to a wall. The remote control device 2 can be operated while being hung on the hanger 2a, or can be used by holding it in a hand. On the front surface of the remote controller 2, a plurality of switches 2b, 2c, 2d for cleaning, drying, stopping, etc. and adjusting switches 2e, 2f for setting the temperature of cleaning water or warm air are provided.
【００２３】 リモコン装置２の上端部には、便所の壁を反射面として受光部１ｂに光信号を 送る発光素子を組み込む。図示の例では、間口方向の左側を投光方向とした側方 発光素子３及び正面に向けて投光する前方発光素子４を備えている。そして、こ れらの側方，前方発光素子３，４は、赤外線を透過可能なカバー２０によって周 囲を囲まれた空間に収納されている。At the upper end of the remote control device 2, a light emitting element for sending an optical signal to the light receiving portion 1b is incorporated with the wall of the toilet as a reflecting surface. In the illustrated example, a side light emitting element 3 having a light projecting direction on the left side in the front direction and a front light emitting element 4 projecting light toward the front are provided. The side and front light emitting elements 3 and 4 are housed in a space surrounded by a cover 20 which can transmit infrared rays.
【００２４】 カバー２０は、図４に示すようにリモコン装置２の周りを覆うように設ければ よく、上端部は赤外線を透過しない部材としてもよい。そして、図示のように前 方発光素子４は、その投光軸をほぼ水平とした姿勢に固定され、側方発光素子３ も同様な姿勢をとる。The cover 20 may be provided so as to cover the periphery of the remote control device 2 as shown in FIG. 4, and the upper end portion may be a member that does not transmit infrared rays. Then, as shown in the figure, the front light emitting element 4 is fixed in a posture in which its light projecting axis is substantially horizontal, and the side light emitting element 3 also assumes the same posture.
【００２５】 図５は発光素子の配置の他の例を示す要部の概略平面図である。FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of a main part showing another example of the arrangement of the light emitting elements.
【００２６】 同図の（ａ）は、図３で示した側方，前方発光素子３，４を左右に入れ換えた 例である。すなわち、正面から見て右側に側方発光素子３を組み込んでその投光 方向を右向きとし、左側に前方発光素子４を正面向きの投光方向として備えたも のである。FIG. 3A shows an example in which the side and front light emitting elements 3 and 4 shown in FIG. That is, the side light emitting element 3 is incorporated on the right side when viewed from the front, the light emitting direction thereof is directed rightward, and the front light emitting element 4 is provided on the left side as the frontward light projecting direction.
【００２７】 また、同図の（ｂ）は一対の側方発光素子５ａ，５ｂを左右に配置し、中央に 前方発光素子５ｃを設けた例である。Further, FIG. 3B shows an example in which a pair of side light emitting elements 5a and 5b are arranged on the left and right, and a front light emitting element 5c is provided in the center.
【００２８】 更に、図６はリモコン装置２に対する発光素子の配置の他の例を示す概略図で ある。Further, FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing another example of the arrangement of the light emitting elements with respect to the remote controller 2.
【００２９】 図３では、側方発光素子３及び前方発光素子４を各スイッチ２ｂ〜２ｆの列の 上側に配置している例を示した。このような配置は、リモコン装置２をハンガー ２ａに掛けた状態のまま使う以外に、手で持って操作する場合もあるので、この 際に発光部分が手で塞がれないようにした結果である。この配置に対し、図６の （ａ）のように各スイッチ２ｂ〜２ｆの列の下側に側方発光素子３及び前方発光 素子４を組み込んむこともできる。また、図６の（ｂ）のように、図５の（ｂ） で示した前方発光素子５ｃを上端側に配置し、一対の側方発光素子５ｂを下端側 に設けるようにしてもよい。これらのいずれの場合においても、各発光素子３〜 ５ｃは赤外線を透過可能なカバー２０によって少なくも周面が覆われた構造であ る。FIG. 3 shows an example in which the side light emitting element 3 and the front light emitting element 4 are arranged on the upper side of the row of the switches 2b to 2f. Such an arrangement may be used by holding the remote control device 2 on the hanger 2a in a state other than using it as it is, so at this time, the result is that the light emitting part is not blocked by the hand. is there. With respect to this arrangement, the side light emitting element 3 and the front light emitting element 4 can be incorporated under the row of the switches 2b to 2f as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, the front light emitting element 5c shown in FIG. 5B may be arranged on the upper end side and the pair of side light emitting elements 5b may be provided on the lower end side. In any of these cases, each of the light emitting elements 3 to 5c has a structure in which at least the peripheral surface is covered by the cover 20 which can transmit infrared rays.
【００３０】 このように側方発光素子及び前方発光素子の向き配置は様々に変えることがで き、据え付ける便所の間取りや便器の姿勢等に応じたものを選択すればよい。As described above, the orientations of the side light emitting elements and the front light emitting elements can be changed in various ways, and it is only necessary to select those depending on the floor plan of the toilet to be installed, the posture of the toilet bowl, and the like.
【００３１】 図７は便所の壁に対するリモコン装置２の配置例を示す図である。FIG. 7 is a view showing an arrangement example of the remote control device 2 on the wall of the toilet.
【００３２】 同図の（ａ）は、正面から見て便器本体５０の右側の壁にリモコン装置２をセ ットした例であり、この場合のリモコン装置２は図３で示したものを使用する。 すなわち、図３の（ｃ）の側方，前方発光素子３，４の配置であれば、リモコン 装置２を壁のハンガー２ａに掛けたときには、側方発光素子３は便所の奥側の向 き、前方発光素子４は左側の壁を向く。このため、スイッチを操作すれば、側方 発光素子３からの赤外線は奥側の壁で反射されてケーシング１の上部の受光部１ ｂに向かい、この受光部１ｂによって受信される。また、前方発光素子４からの 赤外線は左側の壁で反射され、同様に受光部１ｂによって受信される。FIG. 3A shows an example in which the remote control device 2 is set on the wall on the right side of the toilet body 50 when viewed from the front. In this case, the remote control device 2 shown in FIG. 3 is used. To do. That is, with the arrangement of the side and front light emitting elements 3 and 4 in FIG. 3C, when the remote control device 2 is hung on the wall hanger 2a, the side light emitting element 3 faces toward the back of the toilet. The front light emitting element 4 faces the left wall. Therefore, when the switch is operated, the infrared light from the side light emitting element 3 is reflected by the wall on the back side, goes to the light receiving portion 1b at the upper part of the casing 1, and is received by the light receiving portion 1b. Further, infrared rays from the front light emitting element 4 are reflected by the left side wall and similarly received by the light receiving section 1b.
【００３３】 図７の（ｂ）は便器本体５０の前側に壁がある場合であって、この壁にリモコ ン装置２をセットした例である。この場合に使用するリモコン装置２としては、 図５の（ａ）の側方発光素子３及び前方発光素子４の組合せのものを利用する。 すなわち、壁にリモコン装置２をセットすると、側方発光素子は便所の左側の壁 を向く姿勢となり、前方発光素子４は便座に着座している人を向く。このため、 スイッチを操作すればこれに応じて側方発光素子３から発光された赤外線信号が 左側の壁に向かって反射し、受光部１ｂに向かって受信される。FIG. 7B shows a case where there is a wall on the front side of the toilet body 50, and is an example in which the remote control device 2 is set on this wall. As the remote control device 2 used in this case, a combination of the side light emitting element 3 and the front light emitting element 4 of FIG. That is, when the remote control device 2 is set on the wall, the side light emitting element is in a posture facing the left wall of the toilet, and the front light emitting element 4 faces the person sitting on the toilet seat. Therefore, when the switch is operated, the infrared signal emitted from the side light emitting element 3 is reflected toward the left side wall in response to the operation and is received toward the light receiving portion 1b.
【００３４】 なお、図５の（ｂ）で示した左右に一対の側面発光素子５ａ，５ｂを持つもの をリモコン装置２とした場合には、側面発光素子５ａからは便所の右側の壁に投 光される。したがって、この右側からの反射光も利用できるので、ケーシング１ の右側の上面に受光部を設ける仕様とすることもできる。When the remote control device 2 has a pair of left and right side surface light emitting elements 5a and 5b shown in FIG. 5B, the side surface light emitting element 5a is projected on the right wall of the toilet. Be illuminated. Therefore, since the reflected light from the right side can also be used, it is possible to provide the light receiving portion on the upper surface on the right side of the casing 1.
【００３５】 更に、図７の（ｃ）は便所の左側の壁にリモコン装置２をセットした例であり 、この場合も図５の（ａ）の側方発光素子３及び前方発光素子４の配置のものが 利用できる。すなわち、側方発光素子３は左側の壁に沿って奥側に向かう投光方 向となり、スイッチを操作するとこの側方発光素子３からの赤外線信号が奥側の 壁に進んで反射し、ケーシング１の受光部１ｂによって受信される。Further, FIG. 7C is an example in which the remote control device 2 is set on the left wall of the toilet, and in this case also, the arrangement of the side light emitting element 3 and the front light emitting element 4 of FIG. 5A is arranged. Stuff available. That is, the side light emitting element 3 is in the light projecting direction toward the back side along the left side wall, and when the switch is operated, the infrared signal from the side light emitting element 3 advances to the back side wall to be reflected, and the casing. 1 is received by the light receiving unit 1b.
【００３６】 このように、便所の右側，前側及び左側の壁に対して配置するリモコン装置２ からの赤外線信号を、壁反射を利用して受光部１ｂに受信させることができる。 このため、従来のように天井反射を利用する場合に比べると、壁に棚板等がある 場合でも光路が遮断されることはなく、良好な受信状態が維持される。また、天 井が高かったり吹き抜け状であっても、これに全く関係のない受信状態が確保さ れる。このため、便所を広くしてオープンスペースとする等の近来の全く新たな 便所空間であっても、機能部を確実に作動させることができる。In this way, the infrared signal from the remote controller 2 arranged on the right, front, and left walls of the toilet can be received by the light receiving unit 1b by using the wall reflection. Therefore, as compared with the case where ceiling reflection is used as in the conventional case, the optical path is not blocked even when there is a shelf plate on the wall, and a good reception state is maintained. Also, even if the sky is high or has a stairwell, the reception state is completely unrelated to this. Therefore, even in a completely new toilet space such as an open space with a wide toilet, the functional unit can be operated reliably.
【００３７】 また、発光素子の投光軸を水平とするのに代えて、図８に示すように少し斜め 上向きに傾けた姿勢とすることもできる。図示の例は、側方発光素子３の姿勢を 示すものであり、その投光軸の傾斜角度αはたとえば３０度程度であり、図１の ように壁に設けたハンガー２ａにセットしたとき、側方発光素子３からの光は便 所の奥側の壁に向けて進む。なお、このような投光軸の傾斜は、前方発光素子４ にも持たせることができることは無論である。Further, instead of making the light emitting axis of the light emitting element horizontal, it is also possible to adopt a posture in which the light emitting element is tilted slightly obliquely upward as shown in FIG. The illustrated example shows the posture of the side light emitting element 3, and the inclination angle α of the light projecting axis thereof is, for example, about 30 degrees, and when it is set on the hanger 2a provided on the wall as shown in FIG. Light from the side light emitting element 3 travels toward the wall on the back side of the toilet. It is needless to say that the front light emitting element 4 can also be provided with such an inclination of the light projecting axis.
【００３８】 更に、投光軸の上向きの傾斜だけでなく、図９に示すように、投光軸が前方と 側方の中間となるような向きとすることもできる。これは、図３で示した側方発 光素子３に代えて、斜め前方に投光軸を向けた斜め方向発光素子６を組み込んだ ものであり、図３と図５の関係と同様に、この斜め方向発光素子６と前方発光素 子４とを左右入れ換えた配置とすることもできる。Further, in addition to the upward inclination of the light projecting axis, as shown in FIG. 9, the light projecting axis may be oriented between the front and the side. This is one in which, instead of the side light emitting element 3 shown in FIG. 3, an oblique direction light emitting element 6 having a light emitting axis directed obliquely forward is incorporated, and similar to the relationship between FIG. 3 and FIG.
