Description

DISPOSITIF DE RECEPTION D'ONDES COMPORTANT UNE ANTENNE SATELLITE .WAVE RECEIVING DEVICE COMPRISING A SATELLITE ANTENNA.
La présente invention a trait à un dispositif de réception d' ondes comportant une antenne satellite et de type parabolique .The present invention relates to a wave reception device comprising a satellite antenna and of the parabolic type.
Cette invention concerne le domaine de la fabrication des dispositifs, notamment, domestiques pour la réception d'ondes correspondant, généralement, au programme d'une chaîne de télévision, un tel dispositif intégrant au moins une antenne de type satellite et parabolique, conçue apte à recevoir un signal émis par un satellite géostationnaire.This invention relates to the field of the manufacture of devices, in particular domestic devices for the reception of waves corresponding, generally, to the program of a television channel, such a device integrating at least one antenna of satellite and parabolic type, designed capable of receive a signal from a geostationary satellite.
L'on connaît, d'ores et déjà, un certain nombre de ces antennes qui, pour recevoir de manière appropriée les signaux émis par un ou plusieurs satellites , doivent être orientées de manière très précise en direction de ce ou ces derniers .A number of these antennas are already known which, in order to receive the signals transmitted by one or more satellites in an appropriate manner, must be oriented very precisely in the direction of the latter.
Aussi , pour répondre à de tels impératifs , il est indispensable d' implanter ladite antenne en un lieu compatible avec une réception optimale des ondes ce qui impose, généralement, une implantation sur le toit, au niveau de la façade ou du balcon d'une habitation.Also, to meet such requirements, it is essential to install said antenna in a location compatible with optimal reception of the waves, which generally requires installation on the roof, at the facade or balcony of a dwelling.
En raison des possibilités qu'offrent de telles antennes paraboliques en ce qui concerne le nombre de chaînes télévisuelles ou radiophoniques susceptibles d' être captées , de nombreux foyers souhaitent en être équipés. Aussi, l'on voit des antennes paraboliques fleurir , de plus en plus nombreuses , sur le toit ou la façade des immeubles . Dans le cadre de copropriétés, la multiplication de ces antennes est considérée comme une réelle nuisance du point de vue esthétique .Because of the possibilities offered by such satellite dishes with regard to the number of television or radio channels that can be received, many households wish to be equipped with them. Also, we see satellite dishes flourish, more and more, on the roof or the facade of buildings. In the context of condominiums, the multiplication of these antennas is considered to be a real nuisance from an aesthetic point of view.
De ce fait et en vue d'éviter de telles nuisances, l'implantation de ces antennes paraboliques au niveau des immeubles de copropriété est de plus en plus souvent réglementée. En fait, cela oblige de disposer une telle antenne intérieurement à l'habitation, précisément en vue de la rendre invisible de l'extérieur du bâtiment, ce qui nuit, bien évidemment, à la qualité de la réception. Dans certains cas , celle-ci est, d'ailleurs impossible.Therefore and in order to avoid such nuisance, the installation of these satellite dishes at the level of condominium buildings are more and more often regulated. In fact, this requires having such an antenna inside the house, precisely in order to make it invisible from the outside of the building, which obviously affects the quality of reception. In some cases, this is, moreover, impossible.
L' objectif de la présente invention consiste à proposer un dispositif apte à occulter la présence d'une telle antenne parabolique tout en permettant une implantation de cette dernière, au niveau d' une habitation ou dans ses abords , en un endroit permettant une orientation appropriée en direction du ou des satellites émetteurs et, par conséquent, une réception optimale des signaux émis par ces derniers .The objective of the present invention is to propose a device able to conceal the presence of such a parabolic antenna while allowing an implantation of the latter, at the level of a dwelling or in its surroundings, in a place allowing an appropriate orientation. towards the transmitting satellite (s) and, consequently, optimal reception of the signals transmitted by the latter.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de réception d' ondes comportant une antenne satellite et de type parabolique, caractérisé par le fait que ladite antenne est disposée à l'intérieur d'une enveloppe rigide ou semi-rigide comportant au moins une partie translucide autorisant le passage de rayons lumineux émis par un dispositif d' éclairage disposé à l'intérieur de ladite enveloppe.To this end, the invention relates to a wave reception device comprising a satellite antenna and of the parabolic type, characterized in that the said antenna is arranged inside a rigid or semi-rigid envelope comprising at least one translucent part authorizing the passage of light rays emitted by a lighting device arranged inside said envelope.
Une autre caractéristique de la présente invention concerne le fait que ladite enveloppe adopte, de préférence, une forme géométrique régulière telle qu'un globe, un cube, un prisme ou autre .Another characteristic of the present invention relates to the fact that said envelope preferably adopts a regular geometric shape such as a globe, a cube, a prism or the like.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, le dispositif est complété par une structure support, notamment sous la forme d'une embase, d'un mât ou d'un bras support, apte, d'une part à être ancrée, notamment au sol ou au niveau d'un mur, et, d'autre part, à recevoir ladite enveloppe. Une autre caractéristique concerne le fait que ce dispositif comporte des moyens aptes à permettre l'orientation de ladite antenne par rapport à un ou plusieurs émetteurs , de tels moyens étant constitués par des moyens de pivotement autour d'un axe horizontal de ladite antenne et/ou des moyens de rotation de cette dernière autour d'un axe vertical.According to an additional characteristic, the device is completed by a support structure, in particular in the form of a base, a mast or a support arm, capable, on the one hand, of being anchored, in particular on the ground or at the level of a wall, and, on the other hand, to receive said envelope. Another characteristic relates to the fact that this device comprises means able to allow the orientation of said antenna relative to one or more transmitters, such means being constituted by means of pivoting around a horizontal axis of said antenna and / or means for rotating the latter about a vertical axis.
Les avantages du dispositif objet de la présente invention consistent en ce que l'antenne satellite est disposée, à l'abri des regards, à l'intérieur d'une enveloppe translucide implantée, par exemple, à l'extrémité d'un mât ou d'un bras support. Un tel dispositif adopte, alors, avantageusement, la forme d' un dispositif d' éclairage d' extérieur traditionnel auquel il est possible de conférer un aspect externe particulièrement esthétique.The advantages of the device which is the subject of the present invention consist in that the satellite antenna is arranged, out of sight, inside a translucent envelope located, for example, at the end of a mast or a support arm. Such a device then takes advantageously the form of a traditional exterior lighting device to which it is possible to impart a particularly aesthetic external appearance.
Un tel dispositif peut être complété par des moyens d'orientation de ladite antenne ce qui permet, avantageusement, d'assurer, d'une part, l'inclinaison de cette dernière par rapport à l'horizon en vue, notamment, de tenir compte de la longitude de la région d'implantation et, d'autre part, la rotation de ladite antenne pour assurer son pointage en direction du satellite émetteur de son choix.Such a device can be supplemented by means of orientation of said antenna which advantageously makes it possible, on the one hand, to ensure the inclination of the latter relative to the horizon with a view, in particular, to taking account of the longitude of the location region and, on the other hand, the rotation of said antenna to ensure its pointing in the direction of the transmitting satellite of its choice.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre se rapportant au dessin joint en annexe et dans lequel :The present invention will be better understood on reading the following description relating to the attached drawing in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue schématisée, de coté et en coupe de l'enveloppe, sous forme d'un globe, d'un dispositif de réception selon l'invention recevant, intérieurement, une antenne parabolique ainsi qu'un dispositif d'éclairage ; - la figure 2 est une vue schématisée, de coté et en coupe partielle , d'un globe similaire à celui représenté figure 1 et implanté à l'extrémité d'un bras support ;- Figure 1 is a schematic view, from the side and in section of the envelope, in the form of a globe, of a receiving device according to the invention receiving, internally, a parabolic antenna as well as a device lighting ; - Figure 2 is a schematic view, from the side and in partial section, of a globe similar to that shown in Figure 1 and located at the end of a support arm;

Tel qu' il ressort des figures du dessin en annexe la présente invention concerne le domaine de la fabrication des dispositifs de réception d' ondes , ces dernières correspondant, plus particulièrement, au signal d'un programme de chaîne de télévision émis par un satellite .As is apparent from the figures in the appended drawing, the present invention relates to the field of the manufacture of wave reception devices, the latter corresponding, more particularly, to the signal of a television channel program transmitted by a satellite.
Selon une particularité de cette invention, un tel dispositif de réception 1 comporte une structure support 2 sur laquelle est montée une enveloppe rigide ou semi-rigide 3 conçue apte à recevoir, dans son volume interne 4, des moyens de réception 5 de ces ondes 6 transmises par satellite.According to a feature of this invention, such a receiving device 1 comprises a support structure 2 on which is mounted a rigid or semi-rigid envelope 3 designed capable of receiving, in its internal volume 4, means 5 for receiving these waves 6 transmitted by satellite.
Tel que visible, respectivement, figures 1 à 3, une telle structure support 2 peut adopter différentes formes , par exemple, une embase 7 , un bras support 8 ou encore un mât , et est conçue apte à être ancrée, selon le cas, sur un muret 10, au niveau du mur 11 de l'habitation ou encore au sol 12.As visible, respectively, Figures 1 to 3, such a support structure 2 can take different forms, for example, a base 7, a support arm 8 or even a mast, and is designed capable of being anchored, as the case may be, on a low wall 10, at the level of the wall 11 of the house or on the ground 12.
Si on se réfère, respectivement, aux figures 2 et 3 du dessin en annexe, cette structure support 2 reçoit, par exemple au niveau de son extrémité 13 (figure 2) , notamment supérieure 14 (figure 3), ladite enveloppe rigide ou semi-rigide 3.If we refer, respectively, to Figures 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawing, this support structure 2 receives, for example at its end 13 (Figure 2), in particular upper 14 (Figure 3), said rigid or semi- rigid 3.
Il convient, cependant, d'observer que la présente invention n' est nullement limitée à une enveloppe 3 montée de la sorte et que cette dernière peut également être suspendue sous une structure support 2 de forme appropriée (solution non représentée) .It should, however, be observed that the present invention is in no way limited to a casing 3 mounted in this way and that the latter can also be suspended under a support structure 2 of appropriate shape (solution not shown).
Tel qu' il ressort des figures du dessin en annexe et selon un mode de réalisation préféré mais non limitatif de la présente invention, ladite enveloppe rigide ou semi-rigide 3 adopte une forme géométrique régulière telle qu'un globe 15, un cube, un prisme ou autre.As is apparent from the figures of the appended drawing and according to a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, said rigid or semi-rigid envelope 3 adopts a regular geometric shape such as a globe 15, a cube, a prism or whatever.
Une telle enveloppe 3 est conçue apte à recevoir, intérieurement, des moyens de réception 5 qui peuvent se présenter, de manière classique, sous la forme, d'une part, d'une antenne satellite 16 du type parabolique pour la réception des ondes 6 et, d'autre part, d'une unité de transformation 17 de ces dernières en un signal électrique.Such an envelope 3 is designed capable of receiving, internally, reception means 5 which can be, in a conventional manner, in the form, on the one hand, of a satellite antenna 16 of the parabolic type for the reception of waves 6 and, on the other hand, a transformation unit 17 of the latter into an electrical signal.
Ce dernier est véhiculé au travers d'un câble électrique 18 ou analogue relié à ladite unité de transformation 17 et traversant un orifice 19 ménagé dans ladite enveloppe 3, notamment au niveau de sa partie inférieure 20, avant de s'engager dans la structure support 2 et de pénétrer à l'intérieur de l'habitation pour rejoindre, par exemple, un boîtier électronique ou un poste de télévision.The latter is conveyed through an electric cable 18 or the like connected to said processing unit 17 and passing through an orifice 19 formed in said casing 3, in particular at its lower part 20, before engaging in the support structure 2 and enter the interior of the house to reach, for example, an electronic unit or a television set.
Selon une autre caractéristique de la présente invention, ladite enveloppe 3 reçoit, dans son volume interne 4, un dispositif d' éclairage 21 apte à émettre des rayons lumineux 22 pour le passage desquels ladite enveloppe 3 comporte au moins une partie translucide 23.According to another characteristic of the present invention, said envelope 3 receives, in its internal volume 4, a lighting device 21 capable of emitting light rays 22 for the passage of which said envelope 3 comprises at least one translucent part 23.
A ce propos , il a été représenté figure 1 , un mode de réalisation dans lequel ladite enveloppe 3 est intégralement constituée en un matériau translucide apte, d'une part, à laisser passer les rayons lumineux et, d'autre part, à occulter la présence des moyens de réception 5. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, plus particulièrement visible figures 2 et 3, la demi-partie supérieure 24 de l'enveloppe 3 est conçue en un matériau totalement opaque tandis que la demi-partie inférieure 25 de ladite enveloppe 3 est en un matériau translucide aux caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus .In this regard, there is shown in Figure 1, an embodiment in which said envelope 3 is entirely made of a translucent material capable, on the one hand, of letting the light rays pass and, on the other hand, of obscuring the presence of reception means 5. According to a preferred embodiment, more particularly visible in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper half-part 24 of the casing 3 is made of a completely opaque material while the lower half-part 25 of said casing 3 is made of a translucent material with the characteristics described above.
En ce qui concerne, maintenant, le dispositif d'éclairage 21, ce dernier se présente sous la forme d'une douille 26 recevant une ampoule 27 et reliée à un cordon d'alimentation électrique 28 filant dans la structure support 2 au travers dudit orifice 19. Cette douille 26 est rendue solidaire d'une platine 29 montée sur la face arrière 30 de ladite antenne 16, ladite platine 29 étant, en outre, à même de recevoir ladite unité de transformation 17.As regards, now, the lighting device 21, the latter is in the form of a socket 26 receiving a bulb 27 and connected to an electrical supply cord 28 running through the support structure 2 through said orifice 19. This socket 26 is made integral with a plate 29 mounted on the rear face 30 of said antenna 16, said plate 29 being, moreover, capable of receiving said transformation unit 17.
Selon une autre caractéristique de la présente invention, le dispositif de réception 1 comporte des moyens 31 aptes à permettre l'orientation de ladite antenne 16 en direction d'un ou plusieurs satellites émetteurs . Ces moyens d' orientation 31 se présentent, de préférence, sous la forme de moyens de pivotement 32 de ladite antenne 16 autour d'un axe horizontal 33 et/ou de moyens de rotation 34 de ladite antenne 16 autour d'un axe vertical 35.According to another characteristic of the present invention, the reception device 1 comprises means 31 capable of allowing the orientation of said antenna 16 in the direction of one or more transmitting satellites. These orientation means 31 are preferably in the form of pivot means 32 of said antenna 16 about a horizontal axis 33 and / or rotation means 34 of said antenna 16 around a vertical axis 35 .
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, de tels moyens de pivotement 32 autour d'un axe horizontal 33 se présentent sous la forme d'une console 36 montée sur la structure support 2 et prévue apte à recevoir, de manière orientable autour dudit axe horizontal 33, ladite antenne 16.According to a preferred embodiment, such pivoting means 32 around a horizontal axis 33 are in the form of a console 36 mounted on the support structure 2 and provided capable of receiving, so as to be orientable around said horizontal axis 33 , said antenna 16.
En fait, une première solution consiste à disposer une telle console 36 à l'extérieur de l'enveloppe 3 et à lui conférer une forme d' étrier 37. Selon un premier mode de réalisation non représenté, ledit étrier 37 est conçu apte à recevoir une enveloppe 3 à l'intérieur de laquelle est montée, de manière immobile par rapport à cette dernière, ladite antenne 16.In fact, a first solution consists in placing such a console 36 outside of the casing 3 and in giving it the shape of a stirrup 37. According to a first embodiment not shown, said stirrup 37 is designed capable of receiving an envelope 3 inside which is mounted, immobile with respect to the latter, said antenna 16.
On observera qu'une telle enveloppe 3 peut recevoir, latéralement, des tronçons d'axe ou analogue aptes, d'une part, à définir ledit axe horizontal 33 et, d'autre part, à coopérer avec ledit étrier 37. Ce dernier est alors à même d'assurer, notamment au travers desdits tronçons d'axe, le maintien, de manière pivotante autour de l'axe horizontal 33, de ladite enveloppe 3 dans laquelle est montée l'antenne 16.It will be observed that such an envelope 3 can receive, laterally, sections of axis or the like capable, on the one hand, of defining said horizontal axis 33 and, on the other hand, of cooperating with said stirrup 37. The latter is then able to ensure, in particular through said axis sections, the maintenance, pivotally about the horizontal axis 33, of said envelope 3 in which the antenna 16 is mounted.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation représenté figures 2 et 3, ladite enveloppe 3 est montée de manière immobile sur ledit étrier 37. Quant à l'antenne 16, elle est montée pivotante autour d'un axe horizontal 33 à l'intérieur de cette enveloppe 3 fixe. En fait, tel que visible plus particulièrement figure 3, cette antenne 16 est susceptible de recevoir, latéralement, des tronçons d' axe 38 définissant ledit axe horizontal 33 et traversant ladite enveloppe 3 pour coopérer avec ledit étrier 37. Ce dernier est, de ce fait, conçu apte à assurer le maintien, de manière pivotante autour dudit axe horizontal 33, de l' antenne 16.According to another embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, said casing 3 is fixedly mounted on said bracket 37. As for the antenna 16, it is pivotally mounted around a horizontal axis 33 inside this casing 3 fixed. In fact, as can be seen more particularly in FIG. 3, this antenna 16 is capable of receiving, laterally, sections of axis 38 defining said horizontal axis 33 and passing through said envelope 3 to cooperate with said stirrup 37. The latter is, from this made, designed able to ensure the maintenance, pivotally about said horizontal axis 33, of the antenna 16.
Selon une autre caractéristique de la présente invention, les moyens de pivotement 32 du dispositif de réception 1 décrits ci- dessus peuvent être complétés par des moyens de commande 39 en pivotement, autour de l'axe horizontal 33, selon le cas, de l'enveloppe 3 et/ou de l'antenne 16.According to another characteristic of the present invention, the pivoting means 32 of the receiving device 1 described above can be supplemented by pivoting control means 39, around the horizontal axis 33, as the case may be, of the envelope 3 and / or antenna 16.
De tels moyens de commande 39 peuvent, en fait, se présenter sous la forme de vis de réglage et/ou de serrage 40 aptes à équiper l'extrémité des tronçons d'axes 38 raccordés, selon le cas, à l'enveloppe 3 ou à l'antenne 16. Ainsi, en agissant sur de telles vis de réglage et/ou de serrage 40, il est possible de faire pivoter ladite antenne 16 autour de l'axe horizontal 33 et/ou d' immobiliser cette dernière dans une position de réception optimale des ondes 6.Such control means 39 may, in fact, be in the form of adjustment and / or tightening screws 40 able to equip the end of the axis sections 38 connected, as the case may be, to the casing 3 or on the air 16. So, by acting on such adjustment and / or tightening screws 40, it is possible to pivot said antenna 16 around the horizontal axis 33 and / or to immobilize the latter in a position for optimal reception of waves 6.
Une seconde solution consiste à disposer, à l'intérieur de ladite enveloppe 3, une console 36 adoptant la forme d'un montant apte à recevoir , de manière pivotante autour de l' axe horizontal 33, ladite antenne 16.A second solution consists in placing, inside said envelope 3, a console 36 adopting the form of an upright capable of receiving, pivotally about the horizontal axis 33, said antenna 16.
On observera que, selon un mode de réalisation particulier, ledit montant est équipé de moyens de réception aptes à coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires équipant ladite antenne 16. De tels moyens de réception peuvent, par exemple, être conçus aptes à permettre le montage, dans une ou plusieurs positions angulaires prédéterminées par rapport à l'horizontale, de ladite antenne 16 sur ledit montant. Ces moyens de réception sont alors substantiellement aptes à définir des moyens de pivotement 32 de ladite antenne 16 autour d'un axe horizontal 33.It will be observed that, according to a particular embodiment, said upright is equipped with reception means capable of cooperating with complementary means equipping said antenna 16. Such reception means can, for example, be designed capable of allowing mounting, in one or more predetermined angular positions relative to the horizontal, of said antenna 16 on said upright. These reception means are then substantially capable of defining pivot means 32 of said antenna 16 around a horizontal axis 33.
Il convient d'observer que, selon un autre exemple de réalisation non représenté, le dispositif de réception 1 d'ondes 6 peut également comporter, à l'intérieur de ladite enveloppe 3, notamment au niveau de la paroi interne de cette dernière, des moyens de pivotement 32 autour dudit axe horizontal 33 sous la forme de moyens de réception, là encore, dans une ou plusieurs positions angulaires par rapport à l'horizontale, de ladite antenne 16.It should be observed that, according to another exemplary embodiment not shown, the device 1 for receiving waves 6 may also include, inside said envelope 3, in particular at the level of the internal wall of the latter, pivoting means 32 around said horizontal axis 33 in the form of receiving means, here again, in one or more angular positions relative to the horizontal, of said antenna 16.
De tels moyens de réception se présentent, par exemple, sous la forme de crans de positionnement ménagés au niveau ladite enveloppe 3, notamment sur la paroi interne 41 de cette dernière. De tels crans de positionnement sont alors à même de définir un berceau pour la réception de ladite antenne 16 avec laquelle ils sont aptes à coopérer. On observera que lesdits crans de positionnement peuvent, avantageusement, être indexés et étalonnés en fonction de l'angle d'inclinaison que doit adopter ladite antenne 16 dans la région géographique d' implantation .Such receiving means are, for example, in the form of positioning notches formed at said envelope 3, in particular on the internal wall 41 of the latter. Such positioning notches are then able to define a cradle for the reception of said antenna 16 with which they are able to cooperate. It will be observed that said Positioning notches can advantageously be indexed and calibrated as a function of the angle of inclination which said antenna 16 must adopt in the geographic location region.
Finalement, un autre mode de réalisation envisageable consisterait à compléter ledit dispositif 1 par des moyens de pivotement 32 de type motorisés de ladite antenne 16 autour de l'axe horizontal 33. De tels moyens de pivotement 32 motorisés peuvent alors être conçus aptes à être pilotés à distance, notamment à partir de l'intérieur de l'habitation et de manière préprogrammée. Un tel mode de réalisation permettrait alors d'orienter ladite antenne 16 vers des satellites qui seraient situés sur des orbites différentes et émettant, par exemple, en direction d'un pays ou d'une région limitrophe.Finally, another possible embodiment would consist in supplementing said device 1 with pivoting means 32 of motorized type of said antenna 16 around the horizontal axis 33. Such motorized pivoting means 32 can then be designed capable of being controlled remotely, especially from inside the home and in a pre-programmed manner. Such an embodiment would then make it possible to orient said antenna 16 towards satellites which would be located in different orbits and emitting, for example, in the direction of a country or of a bordering region.
Il convient d' observer que si une telle orientation peut se faire aisément et de manière automatisée et préprogrammée dans le cas des moyens de pivotement 32 de type motorisé décrits ci- dessus , il est également possible de procéder à une telle orientation de manière manuelle en agissant sur les moyens de commande en pivotement 39 exposés plus haut.It should be noted that if such an orientation can be easily and automatically and preprogrammed in the case of the pivoting means 32 of the motorized type described above, it is also possible to carry out such an orientation manually by acting on the pivoting control means 39 exposed above.
Il résulte de ce qui précède que les moyens de pivotement 32 décrits ci-dessus sont conçus aptes à permettre le basculement de l'antenne 16 autour d'un axe horizontal 33 donc, par conséquent, l'inclinaison de cette dernière par rapport à l'horizon (azimut) . Ces moyens de pivotement 32 permettent ainsi de pointer ladite antenne 16 en direction d'un même satellite géostationnaire quelle que soit la latitude du lieu d' implantation du dispositif de réception 1.It follows from the above that the pivoting means 32 described above are designed capable of allowing the tilting of the antenna 16 around a horizontal axis 33 therefore, therefore, the inclination of the latter with respect to the 'horizon (azimuth). These pivoting means 32 thus make it possible to point said antenna 16 towards the same geostationary satellite whatever the latitude of the location of the reception device 1.
En ce qui concerne, maintenant, les moyens de rotation 34 autour d'un axe vertical 35, ces derniers sont, selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté figures 2 et 3, définis par des moyens de rotation de l'enveloppe 3 dans laquelle est montée fixe ladite antenne 16. A ce propos, on observera qu'un montage fixé de cette dernière peut, en fait, résulter d'un blocage de la rotation, autour de l'axe horizontal 33, de ladite antenne 16, notamment après réglage.As regards, now, the means of rotation 34 about a vertical axis 35, these are, according to a first embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, defined by means of rotation of the envelope 3 in which said antenna 16 is fixedly mounted. In this regard, it will be observed that a fixed mounting of the latter may, in fact, result from a blocking of rotation, around the horizontal axis 33, of said antenna 16, in particular after adjustment.
En fait, tel que visible, plus particulièrement, figure 2, de tels moyens de rotation 34 peuvent se présenter, là encore, sous la forme d'une console 36 externe à l'enveloppe 3. Cette dernière est reçue par ladite console 36, notamment sous forme d'un étrier 37, sur laquelle ladite enveloppe 3 est fixée et immobilisée .In fact, as can be seen, more particularly, in FIG. 2, such rotation means 34 can again be in the form of a console 36 external to the casing 3. The latter is received by said console 36, in particular in the form of a stirrup 37, on which said envelope 3 is fixed and immobilized.
Ladite console 36 est alors montée sur la structure support 2 par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison 42 aptes à permettre sa rotation. Tel que visible sur les figures 2 et 3, de tels moyens de liaison 42 sont constitués par une bague 43 solidaire de ladite console 36 et emmanchée sur ladite structure support 2, par exemple au niveau de son extrémité 13, notamment supérieure 14. Cette bague 43 comporte des moyens de réglage 44 de son positionnement angulaire par rapport à la structure support 2. De tels moyens de réglage 44 peuvent se présenter sous la forme d' au moins une vis de serrage 45 et être complétés par des moyens d'indexation. Ces derniers peuvent être constitués par une limitation angulaire, notamment à l'aide de butées, de la rotation de ladite bague 43 entre deux positions extrêmes correspondant, de préférence, à la position orbitale de deux satellites .Said console 36 is then mounted on the support structure 2 by means of connection means 42 able to allow its rotation. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, such connecting means 42 are constituted by a ring 43 integral with said console 36 and fitted on said support structure 2, for example at its end 13, in particular upper 14. This ring 43 comprises means 44 for adjusting its angular positioning relative to the support structure 2. Such adjustment means 44 may be in the form of at least one clamping screw 45 and be supplemented by indexing means. The latter can be constituted by an angular limitation, in particular by means of stops, of the rotation of said ring 43 between two extreme positions corresponding, preferably, to the orbital position of two satellites.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens de rotation 34 autour d'un axe vertical 35 sont constitués par des moyens de rotation de ladite antenne 16.According to another embodiment, the means of rotation 34 about a vertical axis 35 are constituted by means of rotation of said antenna 16.
Dans un pareil cas, ladite enveloppe 3 est montée fixe sur la structure support 2 et reçoit, intérieurement, une console 36 sur laquelle est rapportée ladite antenne 16. Une telle console 36 peut alors être, soi-même, commandée en rotation ou encore comporter des moyens de commande en rotation de ladite antenne 16.In such a case, said envelope 3 is fixedly mounted on the support structure 2 and receives, internally, a console 36 to which said antenna 16 is attached. Such a console 36 can then be itself controlled in rotation or even comprise means for controlling the rotation of said antenna 16.
Cependant et quel que soit le mode de réalisation décrit ci- dessus , le dispositif de réception 1 d' ondes 6 comporte des moyens de commande motorisés de la rotation de l'antenne 16 autour de l'axe vertical 35.However, whatever the embodiment described above, the wave receiving device 1 6 includes motorized control means for the rotation of the antenna 16 around the vertical axis 35.
De tels moyens de commande en rotation sont alors conçus aptes à commander la rotation, selon le cas, de l'antenne 16 par rapport à l'enveloppe 3 solidaire de la structure support 2 ou encore de l'enveloppe 3 par rapport à cette dernière.Such rotation control means are then designed capable of controlling the rotation, as the case may be, of the antenna 16 relative to the envelope 3 secured to the support structure 2 or even of the envelope 3 relative to the latter. .
On observera que de tels moyens de commande motorisés peuvent, là encore, être pilotés à distance, par exemple de l'intérieur de l'habitation, notamment de manière préprogrammée.It will be observed that such motorized control means can, here again, be controlled remotely, for example from inside the dwelling, in particular in a pre-programmed manner.
Ainsi , les moyens de rotation 34 décrits ci-dessus sont conçus aptes à permettre la rotation de l'antenne 16 autour d'un axe vertical 35. De tels moyens de rotation 34 autorisent, alors, l'orientation de ladite antenne 16 vers différents satellites situés, sensiblement, sur la même orbite et émettant, par exemple, en direction d'un même pays ou d'une même région.Thus, the rotation means 34 described above are designed capable of allowing the rotation of the antenna 16 about a vertical axis 35. Such rotation means 34 then allow the orientation of said antenna 16 towards different satellites located roughly in the same orbit and transmitting, for example, towards the same country or the same region.
La présente invention permet donc de proposer un dispositif de réception d'ondes se présentant, globalement, sous la forme d' une lampe d' éclairage extérieur pouvant adopter différents aspects particulièrement esthétiques autorisant une multitude de possibilités d'implantation.The present invention therefore makes it possible to propose a device for receiving waves which is presented, overall, in the form of an exterior lighting lamp which can adopt different particularly aesthetic aspects allowing a multitude of implantation possibilities.
Ce dispositif permet d' occulter la présence d' une antenne satellite de type parabolique en évitant le montage, souvent peu gracieux, de cette dernière à proximité ou sur une habitation. De par les nombreuses possibilités de réglage de l'inclinaison et de la rotation de l'antenne, ce dispositif est particulièrement polyvalent et apte à être implanté quel que soit l'endroit couvert par les ondes émises par un ou plusieurs satellite . This device makes it possible to conceal the presence of a satellite antenna of the parabolic type by avoiding the mounting, often not very graceful, of the latter near or on a dwelling. Due to the numerous possibilities for adjusting the inclination and rotation of the antenna, this device is particularly versatile and able to be installed whatever the location covered by the waves emitted by one or more satellites.
