Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fluorescent tube lighting fixture.
  • the body and the basin are placed facing each other with the interposition of an annular seal. To ensure their assembly, there are locking hooks which are put in place when installing the lighting fixture.
  • One of the objects of the invention is to propose a lighting apparatus of simple construction and easy assembly, not requiring the use of locking hooks.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a waterproof lighting device the length of which can be determined without being dependent on the dimensions of the molds.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to propose, for this lighting apparatus, a particularly practical method of attachment and easy adjustment.
  • the subject of the invention is a waterproof lighting device with fluorescent tubes, of the type comprising a plastic body and a transparent bowl, inside of which is the strip or electrical unit, characterized in that the body and the washbasin are extruded sections cut to the desired length and fixed to one another by snap-fastening.
  • the waterproof lighting device essentially consists of a body 1, two end pieces 2, 3 and a basin 4.
  • the body 1 is made of cellular plastic material. It is in the form of an extruded profile which is then cut to the desired length for each lighting device.
  • the body 1 is provided with longitudinal cells 5 having the role of lightening it while retaining a certain rigidity.
  • the body 1 carries two longitudinal ribs 6 and 7 bent, capable of cooperating with hooks 8, 9 of a fixing base 10.
  • the hooks 8, 9 are carried by flexible arms so as to allow suspension of the body 1 by simple click.
  • the body 1 is presented as a flat-bottom channel 11 with two inclined flanks 12 and 13. Each flank is limited by an edge 14, 15 whose section has two inverted concavities.
  • the first concavity is turned towards the inside of the body 1. It is intended to receive a seal 16, linear.
  • the second concavity faces outwards, it is intended to receive a hooking rib 17 of the basin 4.
  • the basin 4 is in extruded profile, with substantially the same general shape as the body 1.
  • it is made of polystyrene for example, or of polycarbonate in order to improve its resistance to possible shocks.
  • polystyrene for example, or of polycarbonate in order to improve its resistance to possible shocks.
  • it has a prismatic structure.
  • the outer edge 22 carries, in its lower part, the hooking rib 17 capable of snapping into the second concavity, facing outwards, from the edge 14 of the body 1. It also carries, in the vicinity of its upper end, a second rib 23 capable of snapping onto the upper edge of the first concavity, turned inwards, from the edge 14 of the body 1.
  • the upper end 24 of the outer edge 22 projects upwards, so as to allow a grip to release the two ribs 23 and 17 of the edge 14 of the body 1 when the bowl 4 has to be removed to replace the fluorescent tubes for example.
  • the lighting device according to the invention is produced in a particularly simple and economical manner.
  • the length of the body 1 and that of the basin 4 are determined, and the sections of corresponding profiles are removed.
  • the body 1, the end pieces 2, 3 and the strip 33 are put in place.
  • the body 1 and the end pieces 2, 3 are fixed by snap-fastening.
  • the tubes 34, 35 are put in place and the basin is fixed by snap-fastening.
  • the whole apparatus is then ready to be fixed on a base 10, by snapping on the ribs 6, 7 on the hooks 8, 9.
  • One or more bases being fixed to the ceiling, the lighting fixture is hung there. by snap-fastening.
  • the device is adjusted in position by axial sliding relative to the bases.
  • we ensure the blocking position of the device by means, for example, of a sliding locking part provided in each base.
  • the transverse seal is ensured by the two annular seals 32 of the end pieces, and the longitudinal seal by the linear seals 16. As the bearing pressure on these seals is constant, the sealing is ensured under the best conditions.
  • the lighting device according to the invention can also be provided without sealing, with a basin installed, without pressing on a seal and without snap-fastening.
