Abstract: A lighting device that allows efficient heat discharge from a light source while avoiding accidents such as firing due to a flammable foreign object in contact with the light source or the like and failures such as reduction in luminous efficiency due to dust or the like adhered to and accumulated on the internal surface of a lens unit.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a caulked assembly that is capable of manufacturing the caulked assembly at a low cost, preventing reduction of the strength of a columnar body caused by a circumferential groove, preventing deformation of the columnar body, and assembling a slimmer columnar body with a plate-like body. A mounting hole 10 for inserting and assembling a columnar body 2 is provided in a metallic plate-like body 1, and a thick portion 11 is formed along an inner circumferential edge of the mounting hole 10. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1(a), the columnar body 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 10 of the plate-like body 1 so that the plate-like body 1 is set in an assembly position on an outer circumferential surface of the columnar body 2.

Abstract: There is provided a lighting device excellent in mass productivity and capable of significantly reducing a production cost and allowing easy provision of a light-weight and large-size lighting device as well as improving a degree of freedom in choosing materials and exhibiting an adequate heat dissipation effect. A heat dissipation portion is obtained by press-working a metal plate. For example, the heat dissipation portion is configured by press-deforming the metal plate into a substantially dome-like shape having a vertically extending peak portion and a vertically extending valley portion that are peripherally and consecutively formed, by repeatedly bending the metal plate along a circumferential direction into a wave shape and concurrently warping the metal plate in an axial direction such that the outer peripheral side of the metal plate is positioned closer to the tip in the axial direction than the central side thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a caulked assembly to be manufactured at low cost, and maintain sufficient caulking strength, and the manufacturing method and apparatus thereof. The manufacturing method comprises steps of forming a mounting hole for inserting and assembling a columnar body in a metal plate body, and forming a thick part along an inner circumferential edge of a mounting hole; forming a circumferential groove with a predetermined depth at an assembled position of a outer circumferential surface of the columnar body inserted into the mounting hole; inserting the columnar body into the mounting hole to set to the assembled position where the thick part is opposed to the circumferential groove; and caulking for compressively pressing the thick part from an axial direction of the columnar body to plastically deform the thick part in a center direction of the mounting hole to bite the thick part into the circumferential groove.
