Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lantern powered by an electric cell, or a battery, and in particular a lantern used on construction sites.
  • Such a lantern generally comprises a closed housing, with two superimposed compartments, the upper compartment containing a bulb and the lower compartment an electric battery, switch means external to the housing being provided to ensure the ignition or extinction of the bulb.
  • the switching means can be of the push, pivot or similar type.
  • the two compartments of the housing are coaxial and movable in rotation relative to each other and the bulb can be turned on or off by relative movement of the two. housing compartments.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a. lantern comprising switch means that are difficult to detect by an untrained person.
  • the present invention relates to a lantern powered by an electric cell or battery, comprising a housing having first and second superimposed compartments respectively containing a bulb and said battery, said bulb being fixed on a plate of which one face located in the second compartment carries two electrical connections connected respectively to the socket and to the base of the bulb, switch means being provided for bringing said connections and the terminals carried by the upper face of said battery into contact, characterized in that said housing has a bottomless unitary structure, at least part of the envelope of the battery cooperating with the internal face of the second compartment to allow a first guidance of the battery along a substantially vertical axis for the introduction of the battery into the housing then a second guidance of the battery during its movement around said axis to a stop corresponding to the contacting of said terminals and said connections.
  • the stack comprises on its upper face an insulating plate carrying two terminals in the form of springs and provided with at least one guide lug.
  • the edge of said ear can be indented and slide on a longitudinal rib internal to the housing and parallel to said axis.
  • the second guidance is carried out by rotation of the stack around the axis, the underside of the ear coming to rest on a portion of plane orthogonal to the axis, and the springs being in a state of low compression.
  • the ear can slide on the plane portion up to a stop corresponding to the contacting of said bulb connections and _two battery terminals.
  • the bulb is turned off and the battery is removed from the housing by reverse operations.
  • the lantern according to the invention therefore comprises a unitary housing which does not reveal any switch means. Only an asnitiated person will guide the stack as specified above.
  • the unitary housing of the lantern according to the invention and its internal guide means can easily be made of plastic by extrusion blow molding. This results in significant manufacturing savings.
  • the lantern appearing in FIG. 1 comprises a plastic casing 1, having a general shape of revolution around a vertical axis 2, and open at its lower end 3.
  • This casing is divided by an intermediate plate 6 into two compartments 4 and 5 superimposed.
  • the upper compartment 4 contains an electric bulb 7 fixed on the upper face of the plate 6.
  • the lower compartment 5 contains a battery or a battery of batteries 8 having on its upper face an insulating plate 9 carrying two terminals 10 and 11. These two terminals are constituted by springs, one of which, spring 10, is located in the center of plate 9 and on axis 2.
  • the terminals 10 and 11 are intended to be brought into contact respectively with electrical connections 14 and 15 carried by the lower face 13 of the plate 6 and connected respectively in a known manner to the socket. and on the base of the bulb 7.
  • the plate 9 of the stack 8 comprises two ears 16 and 17 diametrically opposite.
  • the ear 16 has a notch 18 for guidance and indexing capable of sliding on a rib 19 of the internal face of compartment 5, this rib being longitudinal and parallel to axis 2.
  • the lug 17 can, for its part, slide in a groove 20 of the internal face of compartment 5, groove also longitudinal and parallel to the axis 2.
  • the internal face of the compartment 5 further comprises a boss 21 situated at a level higher than that of the end face 22 of the rib 19, a first portion of plane 23 orthogonal to the axis 2, located at a level lower than that of the boss 21, and a second portion of plane 24 symmetrical with the first portion 23 relative to the axis 2; finally it has two rib-shaped stops 25 and 26.
  • the extraction of the stack then requires compression of the springs 10 and 11 to allow the passage of the ear 16 above the boss 21, then a longitudinal guidance along the rib 19.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described. It is possible to replace the preceding ribs, grooves and indentations belonging respectively to the internal face of the housing and to the envelope of the cell, by complementary configurations allowing similar unidentifiable guides from outside the housing. These configurations can be carried no longer by a cover plate but for example by a lateral portion of the stack.
