Patent ID: 8011806

Claim:
A lighting fixture using a strip-shaped luminous body comprising: a first strip-shaped luminous body which is a strip-shaped member formed of a material having flexibility, and has a plurality of point light sources disposed in a longitudinal direction thereof; a second strip-shaped luminous body which is a strip-shaped member formed of a material having flexibility, and has a plurality of point light sources disposed in a longitudinal direction thereof; and a strip-shaped luminous body holding device which holds the first strip-shaped luminous body on a near side as viewed from a front of the lighting fixture with the first strip-shaped luminous body being curved into a predetermined shape, and holds the second strip-shaped luminous body on a far side as viewed from the front of the lighting fixture with the second strip-shaped luminous body being curved into a predetermined shape, wherein the strip-shaped luminous body holding device comprises: a first strip-shaped luminous body fixing curve which is a curved surface disposed on the near side as viewed from the front of the lighting fixture, and to which the first strip-shaped luminous body is fixed; and a second strip-shaped luminous body fixing curve which is a curved surface disposed on the far side as viewed from the front of the lighting fixture, and to which the second strip-shaped luminous body is fixed, wherein the first strip-shaped luminous body is wound and fixed on the first strip-shaped luminous body fixing curve with a surface on an opposite side from a surface on which the plurality of point light sources are disposed being in substantial surface contact with the first strip-shaped luminous body fixing curve, and wherein the second strip-shaped luminous body is wound and fixed on the second strip-shaped luminous body fixing curve with a surface on a side on which the plurality of point light sources are disposed being in substantial surface contact with the second strip-shaped luminous body fixing curve.
