Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a lamp and, more
particularly, to a pendent lamp.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] A conventional pendent lamp in accordance with the prior art
shown in FIG. 1 is mounted in a house and comprises a support
member 21 mounted on a ceiling 22, a lighting unit 20 mounted on
the support member 21, and a fan 23 mounted on the support member
21. The fan 23 includes a plurality of blades 24. Thus, the blades
24 of the fan 23 are rotated successively to produce an air flow so
as to provide a ventilating and heat dissipation effect to the
house. However, the blades 24 of the fan 23 easily produce noise
during operation, thereby causing an uncomfortable sensation to the
people in the house. In addition, the blades 24 of the fan 23
easily interfere with the lighting effect of the lighting unit
20.

The hood is connected with the air outlet of the air conditioning
unit. The hood is located between the air conditioning unit and the
lighting unit. The air conditioning unit is located above the
lighting unit and the hood. The baffle is located between the air
conditioning unit and the lighting unit. The baffle has an upper
end connected to the air outlet of the air conditioning unit and a
lower end connected to the lighting unit. Preferably, the pendent
lamp comprises a plurality of baffles which are arranged in the
hood at different angles. Each of the baffles has a conic shape.
Preferably, the air conditioning unit includes an air blower and a
motor connected with the air blower to drive the air blower.
Alternatively, the air conditioning unit includes an air blower and
a turbine connected with the air blower to drive the air blower.
Alternatively, the air conditioning unit includes an air condenser
to deliver cold air outward. Alternatively, the air conditioning
unit includes an air heater to deliver hot air outward.
[0006] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide
a pendent lamp having an air conditioning function.
[0007] According to the primary advantage of the present invention,
the air conditioning unit supplies cold air or hot air to the house
to decrease or increase the temperature in the house to provide a
cooling or warming effect to the house so as to regulate the
temperature of the house at the optimum value.
[0008] According to another advantage of the present invention, the
air conditioning unit does not have fan blades so that the air
conditioning unit will not produce noise and will not decrease the
lighting effect of the lighting unit.
[0009] According to a further advantage of the present invention,
the pendent lamp has a simplified construction and is operated
easily and conveniently.
[0010] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention

accordance with the prior art.
[0012] FIG. 2 is a front view of a pendent lamp in accordance with

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a pendent lamp in accordance
with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a
support member 11 mounted on a ceiling 14, a lighting unit 10
mounted on the support member 11, an air conditioning unit 12
mounted on the support member 11, a hood 13 connected with the air
conditioning unit 12, and at least one baffle 131 mounted in the
hood 13.
[0015] The air conditioning unit 12 is located above the lighting
unit 10 and the hood 13 and has a bottom provided with an air
outlet 121 facing the lighting unit 10 and the hood 13.
[0016] The hood 13 is connected with the air outlet 121 of the air
conditioning unit 12 and is located between the air conditioning
unit 12 and the lighting unit 10.
[0017] The baffle 131 is located between the air conditioning unit
12 and the lighting unit 10. The baffle 131 has an upper end
connected to the air outlet 121 of the air conditioning unit 12 and
a lower end connected to the lighting unit 10. Preferably, the
pendent lamp comprises a plurality of baffles 131 which are
arranged in the hood 13 at different angles. Each of the baffles
131 has a conic shape.
[0018] In operation, referring to FIG. 2, the air conditioning unit
12 blows air through the air outlet 121 of the air conditioning
unit 12 and the hood 13 toward the lighting unit 10 so that the air
is delivered outward from the hood 13 into the house so as to
provide an air conditioning function to the house. At this time,
the air flow are directed and regulated by the baffles 131 in the
hood 13 so that the air is blown outward from the hood 13 at
different angles and is distributed in the house evenly and
smoothly.
[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the
air conditioning unit 12 includes an air blower and a motor
connected with the air blower to drive the air blower. Thus, the
air blower is driven by the motor to blow air outward so as to
dissipate the heat and to lower down the temperature in the
house.
[0020] Alternatively, the air conditioning unit 12 includes an air
blower and a turbine connected with the air blower to drive the air
blower. Thus, the air blower is driven by the turbine to blow air
outward so as to dissipate the heat and to lower down the
temperature in the house.
[0021] Alternatively, the air conditioning unit 12 includes an air
condenser to deliver cold air outward so as to dissipate the heat
and to lower down the temperature in the house.
[0022] Alternatively, the air conditioning unit 12 includes an air
heater to deliver hot air outward so as to increase the temperature
in the house.
[0023] Accordingly, the air conditioning unit 12 supplies cold air
or hot air to the house to decrease or increase the temperature in
the house to provide a cooling or warming effect to the house so as
to regulate the temperature of the house at the optimum value. In
addition, the air conditioning unit 12 does not have fan blades so
that the air conditioning unit 12 will not produce noise and will
not decrease the lighting effect of the lighting unit 10. Further,
the pendent lamp has a simplified construction and is operated
easily and conveniently.
[0024] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its
preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood
that many other possible modifications and variations can be made
without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is,
therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will
cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true
scope of the invention.
