Abstract: One or more illumination panels (10) are hung by up-and-down cords (3). The up-and-down cords (3) have a function of hanging the illumination panels (10) and a function of supplying electric power to the illumination panels (10). Pulling a rod (7), which is a take-up tool causes the up-and-down cords (3) to be taken up and, at the same time, the bottom rail (4) and the illumination panels (10) are also raised. At this time, the up-and-down cords (3) are taken up into the head box (2). As such, when the bottom rail (4) is raised, the up-and-down cords (3) are taken up without bending. This makes it possible to distribute stress that may otherwise be concentrated locally on the up-and-down cords (3). As a result, the up-and-down cords (3) can be prevented from getting broken due to deterioration caused by concentration of stress on the up-and-down cords (3), which concentration is caused by bending etc. of the up-and-down cords (3).
