Abstract

PURPOSE:To contribute to energy saving by reducing the number of fluorescent lamps in an advertising device for illuminating an electric lighting board from its back by a fluorescent lamp. CONSTITUTION:Two fluorescent lamps 53 arranged on the upper and lower parts on the back of an window 21 for an outer door 2 on which the electric lighting board 52 is loaded in a convensional device is reduced to one fluorescent lamp 53 arranged on a position slightly upper part from the vertical center of the window 21 and a reflecting plate 55 for reflecting lower light from the lamp 53 to the board 52 is arranged under the lamp 53. Since the whole surface of the board 52 in the advertising device 5 is lighted up by approximately uniform light, an advertising effect similar to the convensional device can be displayed and the power consumption of an automatic vending machine can be reduced by reducing the number of fluorescent lamps to a half.

光灯５３が故意に壊される心配が解消される。In the above-mentioned structure, the fluorescent lamp 53 illuminates the front illumination plate 52, but the downward light of the fluorescent lamp 53 is reflected by the reflecting plate 55 in the lower part where the light of the fluorescent lamp 53 strikes obliquely and the illumination is weak.
And the amount of light that illuminates the lower part facing the lower part is increased. Therefore, in this advertising device 5, the number of fluorescent lamps 53 is reduced to one, the amount of power consumption is reduced by half, and the advertising pictograms on the illumination plate 52 are illuminated substantially uniformly and brightly. Further, when the fluorescent lamp 53 is arranged substantially in the center of the window, there is concern that the fluorescent lamp 53 may be pushed by pushing or hitting the lighting plate 52 from the front side and the force may damage the fluorescent lamp 53. The protector 56 supports the illumination plate 52 and the transparent panel 51 into which it is pushed. Therefore, the fear that the fluorescent lamp 53 is intentionally destroyed is eliminated.
