Abstract

In a watertight light fitting for tubular lamps (11), consisting of a casing covered with a diffuser, which elements are applied against each other via a joint (4), the casing and diffuser assembly consists of a first profiled section (1) with the approximate shape of a U open at both ends, of a second profiled section (2) made from transparent and/or translucent material, in the approximate shape of a U open at both ends, and of two end covers (3). The ends of the branches of the U of the said first (1) and second (2) profiled sections are designed in order each to have a longitudinal claw (5, 6) permitting their reciprocal engagement and ensuring leaktightness by virtue of a pressure caused by a certain elastic deformation of at least one of the two profiled sections (1, 2). <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un appareil d'éclairage étanche pour lampes tubulaires à utilisation domestique, destiné à équiper, par exemple des salles de bain, celliers, cuisines, buanderies, etc. Il existe déjà des appareils d'éclairage étanches pour lampes tubulaires qui sont constitués d'un boîtier en forme de vasque recouvert d'un diffuseur également en forme de vasque et appliqués l'un sur l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'un joint. A l'intérieur de cet appareil se trouvent la lampe ou les lampes tubulaires et leurs accessoires, tels que ballast et démarreur et, éventuellement, condensateur, montés sur une semelle rigide, métallique. Ces appareils connus sont utisés par exemple pour l'éclairage public et de ce fait doivent résister à des conditions d' entourage extrêmement sévères, sans commune mesure avec celles rencontrées à l'intérieur d'une habitation. Par conséquent, ces appareils connus, même allégés, sont trop encombrants, et trop chers pour trouver bon accueil dans l'équipement domestique.The present invention relates to a waterproof lighting device for tubular lamps for domestic use, intended to equip, for example bathrooms, cellars, kitchens, laundries, etc. There are already waterproof lighting fixtures for tubular lamps which consist of a basin-shaped housing covered with a diffuser also in the form of a basin and applied to one another by means of a seal. . Inside this device are the lamp or the tubular lamps and their accessories, such as ballast and starter and, possibly, capacitor, mounted on a rigid, metallic sole. These known devices are used for example for public lighting and therefore must withstand extremely severe surrounding conditions, incommensurate with those encountered inside a home. Consequently, these known devices, even light ones, are too bulky, and too expensive to find a good welcome in domestic equipment.

Le but de l'invention est un appareil d'éclairage étanche à usage domestique peu encombrant de lignes élégantes et bon marché. L'étanchéité de l'appareil doit être suffisante pour résister à un jet de douche. Un autre but est un appareil de longueur sélectionnable suivant les longueurs de lampes utilisant les mêmes éléments de construction pour n' importe quelle longueur de lampe.The object of the invention is a waterproof lighting device for domestic use space-saving elegant and inexpensive lines. The device must be watertight enough to withstand a shower spray. Another object is an apparatus of selectable length according to the lamp lengths using the same construction elements for any length of lamp.

L'invention est expliquée ci-dessous par rapport à un exemple d'une forme d'exécution en se référant au dessin annexé. La figure 1 du dessin est une coupe longitudinale d'une extrémité d'un appareil d'éclairage suivant l'invention. La figure 2 est une coupe agrandie suivant un plan XX de la figure 1. La figure 3 représente une variante d'un détail de la figure 2.The invention is explained below with respect to an example of an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing. Figure 1 of the drawing is a longitudinal section of one end of a lighting device according to the invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged section along a plane XX of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 represents a variant of a detail in FIG. 2.

L'appareil montré aux figures 1 et 2 se compose d'un premier profilé 1 approximativement en forme d'U, ouvert aux deux extrémités, d'un deuxième profilé 2 en matière transparente ou translucide, approximativement en forme d'U, également ouvert aux deux extrémités, de même longueur que le premier profilé 1 et de deux couvercles 3 appliqués sur l' ensemble des profilés 1 et 2. Le premier profilé 1 peut être par exemple en aluminium si un refroidissement efficace des appareils accessoires à . l'intérieur doit être obtenu, ou, en une matière isolante, plastique, extrudée dans le but d'obtenir facilement un double isolement. Le double isolement peut être obtenu aussi si le profilé 1 est en aluminium ou en un autre métal. Il suffit de recouvrir au moins la partie extérieure de ce profilé métallique d'une matière isolante.The device shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists of a first profile 1 approximately U-shaped, open at both ends, a second profile 2 of transparent or translucent material, approximately U-shaped, also open at the two ends, of the same length as the first profile 1 and two covers 3 applied to all of the profiles 1 and 2. The first profile 1 may for example be made of aluminum if effective cooling of the accessories to. the interior must be obtained, or, in an insulating material, plastic, extruded in order to easily obtain double insulation. Double insulation can also be obtained if the profile 1 is made of aluminum or another metal. It suffices to cover at least the outer part of this metal profile with an insulating material.

Le fait d'utiliser des profilés obtenus par extrusion permet, en les coupant à la longueur désirée, d'adapter la longueur de l'appareil d'éclairage aux longueurs des lampes tubulaires choisies.The fact of using profiles obtained by extrusion makes it possible, by cutting them to the desired length, to adapt the length of the lighting apparatus to the lengths of the tubular lamps chosen.

L'étanchéité de l'appareil d'éclairage est obtenu d'une part au moyen de joints épais 4 déposés dans le fond des couvercles 3 et d'autre part grâce à un joint longitudinal entre les profilés 1 et 2. Ce joint longitudinal peut être obtenu d'une part grâce au fait que les extrémités des branches de l'U du profilé 1 sont agencées pour présenter chacune une griffe longitudinale 5 tandis que les branches de l'U du profilé 2 présentent chacune une griffe longitudinale 6. Lorsqu'une pression est exercée suite à une certaine déformation élastique d'au moins un des deux profilés 1 ou 2, la griffe 5 s'applique fermement dans le fond de la griffe 6 et assure ainsi l'étanchéité . L'épaisseur des joints 4 dans le fond des couvercles 3 doit être suffisante pour compenser les tolérances de longueur des profilés 1 et 2 lorsqu'ils sont comprimés au moment de la fixation des couvercles 3. Les couvercles 3 peuvent être fixés au profilé 1 par exemple par enclipsage au moyen d'ergots 7 dans des alvéoles 8 ménagés dans le profilé 1. D'autres manières de fixer les couvercles existent, par exemple par vis engagées dans des trous 9'd'un support 9 de socle 10 pour lampes tubulaires Il. Le support 9 est fixé à son tour, par exemple par vis selon un axe 13, sur une semelle de montage 12, disposée au fond du profilé 1. La semelle de montage 12 peut être en tôle, comme d'habitude. Elle supporte outre les supports 9 des accessoires de lampe, et des appareils auxiliaires, non représentés, par exemple démarreur, condensateur, self de ballast, transformateur pour prise de rasoir.The tightness of the lighting fixture is obtained on the one hand by means of thick seals 4 deposited in the bottom of the covers 3 and on the other hand by means of a longitudinal seal between the sections 1 and 2. This longitudinal seal can be obtained on the one hand thanks to the fact that the ends of the branches of the U of the profile 1 are arranged to each have a longitudinal claw 5 while the branches of the U of the profile 2 each have a longitudinal claw 6. When pressure is exerted following a certain elastic deformation of at least one of the two sections 1 or 2, the claw 5 is applied firmly in the bottom of the claw 6 and thus ensures sealing. The thickness of the seals 4 in the bottom of the covers 3 must be sufficient to compensate for the length tolerances of the profiles 1 and 2 when they are compressed when the covers 3 are fixed. The covers 3 can be fixed to the profile 1 by example by clipping by means of lugs 7 in cells 8 formed in the profile 1. Other ways of fixing the covers exist, for example by screws engaged in holes 9 '' of a support 9 of base 10 for tubular lamps He. The support 9 is fixed in turn, for example by screws along an axis 13, on a mounting flange 12, disposed at the bottom of the profile 1. The mounting flange 12 can be made of sheet metal, as usual. It supports, in addition to the supports 9, lamp accessories and auxiliary devices, not shown, for example starter, capacitor, ballast choke, transformer for razor plug.

Une paroi de séparation 14 recouvre l'espace à l'intérieur du profilé 1 qui renferme les accessoires de lampe et les appareils auxiliaires. Cette paroi de séparation 14 peut aussi servir de réflecteur ou de support pour un réflecteur. Elle est maintenue dans deux rainures 15 aux extrémités des branches de l'U du profilé 1. Ces rainures 15 sont de préférence disposées à proximité des griffes 5 de sorte que les griffes 6 du profilé 2 s'engagent aussi dans ces rainures 15.A partition wall 14 covers the space inside the profile 1 which contains the lamp accessories and the auxiliary devices. This partition wall 14 can also serve as a reflector or support for a reflector. It is held in two grooves 15 at the ends of the branches of the U of the profile 1. These grooves 15 are preferably arranged near the claws 5 so that the claws 6 of the profile 2 also engage in these grooves 15.

Pour rendre meilleure l'étanchéité entre les profilés 1 et 2, les bords longitudinaux de la paroi de séparation 14 comprennent chacun deux lèvres longitudinales 16, 17 en matière élastique qui s'appuient, la lèvre 16 sur une partie de la rainure 15 solidaire du profilé 1 et la lèvre 17 sur une partie de la griffe longitudinale 6 du profilé 2. A ce moment, ces lèvres 16 et 17 forment un joint très sûr et efficace. Ce joint résiste facilement à un jet de douche.To make the seal between the sections 1 and 2 better, the longitudinal edges of the partition wall 14 each comprise two longitudinal lips 16, 17 made of elastic material which are supported, the lip 16 on a part of the groove 15 integral with the profile 1 and the lip 17 on a part of the longitudinal claw 6 of the profile 2. At this moment, these lips 16 and 17 form a very safe and effective seal. This seal easily resists a shower spray.

Un des couvercles 3 peut être équipé d'un interrupteur étanche logé de manière étanche dans ce couvercle, par exemple à l'endroit d'un rectangle 18 ainsi que d'une prise de rasoir étanche logé dans le couvercle, par exemple à l'endroit du rectangle 19.One of the covers 3 can be fitted with a waterproof switch housed in a sealed manner in this cover, for example at the location of a rectangle 18 as well as a waterproof razor socket housed in the cover, for example at the place of rectangle 19.

La paroi de séparation 14 peut aussi assumer des fonctions de stabilisation de la forme géométrique de l'appareil d'éclairage. Elle peut notamment empêcher que les branches parallèles de l'U du profilé 1 en matière plastique s'écartent l'une de l'autre, par exemple en cédant à une pression exercée par les griffes 6 du profilé 2 ou seulement en raison du vieillissement de la matière plastique constituant le profilé 1. Dans ce but, la paroi 14 comprend, à l'endroit des lèvres 16 et 17 une nervure d'arrêt 20 (figure 3) engagée dans la rainure 15 empêchant que les lèvres 16 et 17 puissent être extraites de cette rainure 15 en direction perpendiculaire aux branches parallèles de l'U du profilé 1.The partition wall 14 can also assume functions for stabilizing the geometric shape of the lighting fixture. It can in particular prevent the parallel branches of the U of the plastic profile 1 from moving away from one another, for example by yielding to a pressure exerted by the claws 6 of the profile 2 or only due to aging of the plastic material constituting the profile 1. For this purpose, the wall 14 comprises, at the location of the lips 16 and 17 a stop rib 20 (FIG. 3) engaged in the groove 15 preventing the lips 16 and 17 from being able to be extracted from this groove 15 in a direction perpendicular to the parallel branches of the U of the profile 1.

Le profilé 2 ne doit pas nécessairement être constitué en une seule et même matière, mais peut être composé, par exemple sur une partie 2' en un matériau peu translucide et, en dehors de la partie 2', en un matériau transparent ou fortement translucide. De plus, il peut comporter, soit à l'intérieur, soit à l'extérieur, soit à la fois à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des cannelures ou autres irrégularités destinées à augmenter l'effet de diffusion de la lumière ou, au contraire, à obtenir certains effets directifs, comme cela est connu pour des lentilles de Fresnel.Profile 2 does not necessarily have to be made of a single material, but can be made, for example on a part 2 'of a material which is not very translucent and, apart from part 2', of a transparent or highly translucent material . In addition, it can comprise, either inside or outside, or both inside and outside grooves or other irregularities intended to increase the light scattering effect or, on the contrary, to obtain certain directional effects, as is known for Fresnel lenses.
