Dans le brevet suisse 599.501 est décrite une rampe d'éclairage dont le support présente des ailes formant entre elles un angle de 90°, des bandes métalliques étant montées sur les surfaces internes des ailes. Ces bandes métalliques, comportent des clips en L fixés par paires alternativement et à des distances prédéterminées sur l'une et l'autre des bandes métalliques pour retenir les lampes montées selon l'axe du profil.In Swiss patent 599,501, a lighting ramp is described, the support of which has wings forming an angle of 90 ° between them, metal strips being mounted on the internal surfaces of the wings. These metal bands have fixed L-shaped clips in pairs alternately and at predetermined distances on both of the metal strips to retain the lamps mounted along the axis of the profile.
Par le brevet suisse 652.537, on connaît la possibilité de remplacer les clips en L par des languettes découpées dans le sens de la bande et repliées de 90°, l'extrémité de la languette présentant un trou destiné à positionner un contact électrique d'un élément consommateur de courant. Les bandes métalliques sont fixées sur les ailes au moyen de rivets.By Swiss patent 652,537, we know the possibility of replacing the L-shaped clips by tabs cut in the direction of the strip and folded back by 90 °, the end of the tab having a hole intended to position an electrical contact of a current consuming element. The metal bands are fixed on the wings by means of rivets.
La présente invention vise à simplifier le montage des constituants des rampes d'éclairage connues et a pour objet une rampe d'éclairage présentant une succession de paires de contacts électriques comportant au moins deux bandes conductrices ayant à des distances prédéterminées des plaquettes disposées à 90°, dont l'extrémité libre est agencée de manière à positionner au moins indirectement un contact électrique d'un élément consommateur de courant.The present invention aims to simplify the mounting of the components of the known light bars and relates to a light bar having a succession of pairs of electrical contacts comprising at least two conductive strips having at predetermined distances plates arranged at 90 ° , the free end of which is arranged so as to position at least indirectly an electrical contact of a current-consuming element.
Elle est caractérisée en ce que les bandes conductrices sont superposées et sont chacune recouvertes par un corps isolant et en ce que les bandes conductrices et les corps isolants présentent des ouvertures pour le passage des plaquettes de la ou des bandes disposées au-dessous.It is characterized in that the conductive strips are superimposed and are each covered by an insulating body and in that the conductive strips and the insulating bodies have openings for the passage of the pads of the strip or strips arranged below.
Dans une première forme d'exécution, un corps isolant intermédiaire sous forme d'une bande plate est disposé entre deux bandes superposées, tandis que le corps isolant supérieur est constitué par un support qui comporte un dégagement longitudinal limité par des ailes de protection et destiné à recevoir les bandes conductrices et le (ou les) corps isolant intermédiaire. Ce support comporte en outre des fentes transversales pour le passage des plaquettes de contact.In a first embodiment, an intermediate insulating body in the form of a flat strip is disposed between two superimposed strips, while the upper insulating body consists of a support which has a longitudinal clearance limited by wings protective and intended to receive the conductive strips and (or) intermediate insulating body. This support also has transverse slots for the passage of contact pads.
Dans une variante préférentielle, le support isolant comporte sur sa face extérieure des évidements cylindriques aptes à créer des surfaces de réflexion.In a preferred variant, the insulating support has on its outer face cylindrical recesses capable of creating reflection surfaces.
Selon une autre forme d'exécution préférentielle, le corps isolant est constitué par un revêtement appliqué sur chaque bande métallique, à l'exception des plaquettes de contact.According to another preferred embodiment, the insulating body is constituted by a coating applied to each metal strip, with the exception of the contact pads.
Une forme d'exécution possible propose que chaque plaquette comporte au moins une découpure en U délimitant une languette reliée à ladite plaquette et apte à être déformée de manière à ce que son bord libre coopère avec la face du support isolant.One possible embodiment proposes that each plate includes at least one U-shaped cut-out delimiting a tongue connected to said plate and capable of being deformed so that its free edge cooperates with the face of the insulating support.

En se référant à la figure 1, la rampe est constituée par superposition d'une bande isolante de protection 1, d'une première bande conductrice 2, d'une entretoise isolante 3, d'une seconde bande conductrice 4, et d'un support isolant 5.Referring to Figure 1, the ramp is formed by superimposing an insulating
La bande isolante 1 présente sur sa longueur une succession d'ouvertures 11 autorisant le passage d'éléments de fixation de la rampe. La face supérieure 12 de la bande isolante 1 comporte une couche adhésive, permettant sa fixation. Dans une variante d'exécution, la face inférieure 13 peut comporter une bande adhésive, permettant la mise en place de l'ensemble.The
La première bande conductrice 2 est destinée à être reliée, par tout moyen connu de l'homme de métier, à l'une des bornes d'une alimentation électrique, non représentée au dessin. La bande conductrice 2 comporte, à intervalles réguliers, une succession d'ouvertures 21 autorisant le passage transversal d'organes de fixation, ainsi qu'une succession de fentes 22, dont la présence sera justifiée plus loin. Les organes de connection 23 sont venus de fabrication dans la bande conductrice 2 et sont constitués par des plaquettes repliée à 90° par rapport à la bande 2, ce qui laisse subsister dans celle-ci un évidement correspondant 24. Chaque plaquette 23 présente à son extrémité une ouverture ronde 25 et une découpure en U 26 délimitant une languette 27 reliée dans sa partie supérieure à la plaquette 23 et dont le bord libre 28 est parallèle à la ligne de pliure 29. La distance entre le bord 28 et la ligne de pliure 29 correspond à l'épaisseur cumulée de l'entretoise isolante 3, de la seconde bande conductrice 4 et de la face supérieure du support isolant 5. Les organes de connection 23 sont régulièrement espacés sur la longueur de la bande conductrice 2.The first
L'entretoise isolante 3 présente une succession d'ouvertures 31 pour le passage d'éventuels organes de fixation de la rampe. Elle comporte également, à intervalles réguliers, des fentes transversales 32 dimensionnées de manière à laisser passer les plaquettes 23.The
La seconde bande conductrice 4 est reliée à la seconde borne de l'alimentation électrique déjà mentionnée et présente une succession d'ouvertures 41 ainsi que des dégagements transversaux 42 dont les dimensions sont supérieures à la section des plaquettes 23, pour éviter tout contact entre les bandes conductrices inférieure et supérieure 2 et 4.The second conductive strip 4 is connected to the second terminal of the aforementioned electrical supply and has a succession of openings 41 as well as
La seconde bande conductrice comporte également, à intervalles réguliers, des organes de connection constitués par des plaquettes 43 venues de fabrication dans la bande conductrice ce qui y crée des évidements correspondants 44. Chaque plaquette 43 présente à son extrémité une ouverture ronde 45 et une découpure en U 46 délimitant une languette 47 reliée dans sa partie supérieure à la plaquette 43 et dont le bord libre 48 est parallèle à la ligne de pliure 49. La distance entre le bord 48 et la ligne de pliure 49 correspond à l'épaisseur de la face supérieure du support isolant 5, de manière à ce que les ouvertures 25 et 45 soient disposées à la même hauteur, sur un axe commun.The second conductive strip also comprises, at regular intervals, connection members constituted by
Le support isolant 5 présente une succession de passages 51 pour les organes de liaison, certains de ces passages comportant un dégagement conique 52 pour l'insertion de vis de fixation de la rampe sur un support non représenté au dessin, ainsi que des séries de fentes transversales 53 et 54 pour le passage des plaquettes 23 et 43 respectivement. La face supérieure 55 comporte encore des évidements cylindriques 56, dont l'utilité sera mentionnée plus loin.The
La face supérieure 55 se termine, de chaque côté, par une aile 57 destinée à créer, dans la partie inférieure du support 5, un dégagement 58 destiné à recevoir les éléments 1 à 4 précédemment mentionnés, comme cela est visible à la figure 3.The
Dans la partie gauche de cette même figure, on a représenté en coupe l'évidement cylindrique 56, et on peut remarquer que le rayon de celui-ci est centré au milieu de l'ouverture ronde 25, de manière à créer une surface de réflexion de la source lumineuse 6. Dans ce but la surface de l'évidement cylindrique présentera un état de surface non structuré et brillant. On peut aussi prévoir un revêtement réfléchissant.In the left part of this same figure, there is shown in section the
On notera également à la figure 3 que les ailes 57 comportent un rebord longitudinal extérieur 59, permettant la fixation de la rampe dans des clips ou dans un profilé adéquat non représentés au dessin.It will also be noted in FIG. 3 that the
La rampe lumineuse de la figure 1 est représentée à l'état monté dans les figures 2 et 3. Le montage des éléments détaillés précédemment se fait par superposition des bandes conductrices 2 et 4, séparées par l'entretoise isolante 3, et introduction de cet ensemble dans le dégagement central 58 du support isolant 5. L'assemblage est réalisé en repliant les languettes 27 et 47 sur la face supérieure 55. La bande isolante de protection 1 est fixée tout au long de la bande conductrice 2, par collage par exemple.The light strip of Figure 1 is shown in the assembled state in Figures 2 and 3. The assembly of the elements detailed above is done by superposition of the
En variante, on peut prévoir d'assembler les éléments de la rampe par des rivets traversant les ouvertures 11, 21, 31, 41 et 51, tout en veillant à ce que les dimensions des ouvertures 21 et 41 soient suffisantes pour éviter tout contact électrique.As a variant, provision may be made to assemble the elements of the ramp by rivets passing through the
On remarquera à la figure 2 que les ouvertures rondes 25 et 45 sont découpées en laissant subsister un rebord destiné à améliorer le contact avec le culot 61 de la lampe 62. Dans la partie gauche de la figure 2, on a partiellement représenté une lampe navette halogène 63, comportant à chaque extrémité une boucle de contact 64. Pour autoriser le montage de celle-ci, on utilisera avantageusement une cosse de contact 7 destinée à être enfichée sur les plaquettes 23 ou 43.It will be noted in FIG. 2 that the
La cosse 7 est par exemple constituée par un pliage comportant une partie centrale 71 en U dont les branches 72 et 73 sont disposées de part et d'autre de la plaquette 23 ou 43. La branche 72 comporte deux ailes latérales 74 qui sont recourbées pour maintenir la cosse sur la plaquette de contact. L'extrémité 75 de la branche 73 est encore recourbée vers le haut d'environ 180° pour ménager un logement 76 pour la boucle 64 de contact de la lampe 63. La cosse 7 est représentée en pointillés à la figure 3 pour ne pas surcharger le dessin.The
En pratique, la distance entre une paire de plaquettes 23 et 43 destinées à recevoir un élément lumineux est d'une dimension correspondant aux longueurs standards de lampes navettes du commerce, par exemple de 40 mm et on peut prévoir de disposer les lampes tous les 55 mm. Dans le cas des lampes halogènes, les boucles de contact sont distantes d'environ 43 mm, ce qui permet d'ajouter les cavaliers 7 décrits précédemment.In practice, the distance between a pair of
En variante, chaque plaquette peut supporter deux éléments consommateurs de courant, l'un à droite et l'autre à gauche, et dans ce cas l'écartement entre les plaquette successives correspond à la longueur de ces éléments.As a variant, each plate can support two current consuming elements, one on the right and the other on the left, and in this case the spacing between the successive plates corresponds to the length of these elements.
Les profilés du support isolant 5 et de l'entretoise isolante 3 sont réalisés en matière plastique. Les bandes conductrices 2 et 4 sont métalliques et de préférence en laiton. On notera que l'on peut usiner des bandes identiques et que la différence entre la bande supérieure 4 et la bande inférieure 2 provient uniquement de la localisation de la ligne de pliure 29 ou 49. Dans ce cas particulier, les bandes sont disposées en sens inverse, c'est-à-dire que les plaquettes 43 sont relevées vers la gauche tandis que les plaquettes 23 sont relevées vers la droite, dans la représentation de la figure 1. C'est pour pouvoir utiliser les mêmes bandes conductrices que la bande inférieure comporte des fentes 22, qui n'ont aucune utilité intrinsèque. En variante les bandes 2 et 4 peuvent être de largeurs différentes.The profiles of the insulating
Dans la forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 4 à 6, on retrouve la bande isolante de protection 1, la première bande conductrice 2 et la seconde bande conductrice 4, tandis que les corps isolants sont constitués par des revêtements 8 et 9 appliqués sur la bande 2 et la bande 4 respectivement.In the embodiment shown in Figures 4 to 6, there is the insulating
La face supérieure 12 de la bande 1 comporte une couche adhésive protégée par une bande détachable 14 qui sera retirée au montage de l'ensemble. La face inférieure 13 peut également comporter une couche adhésive protégée par une bande 15 qui sera retirée pour permettre la fixation de l'ensemble à l'emplacement désiré.The
Comme décrit précédemment, les bandes conductrices 2 et 4 sont identiques et disposées en sens inverse, les fentes 22 étant siuées à droite des plaquettes 23 tandis que les fentes 42 sont disposées à gauche des plaquettes 43. La seule différence entre les bandes est la position de la ligne de pliure 29 ou 49, visible à la figure 5.As described above, the
Les revêtements isolants 8 et 9 sont constitués par application au four d'un émail. Il est évident que le revêtement isolant ne doit pas s'étendre sur les bords des ouvertures 25 et 45 destinées à recevoir les contacts de l'élément consommateur de courant. Comme représenté à la figure 5, le corps isolant 8 ou 9 peut être arrêté aux environs des lignes de pliure 29 et 49.The insulating
En utilisant une peinture blanche pour le corps isolant supérieur 9, on obtient par la même occasion une surface réfléchissante de la lampe insérée entre les plaquettes 23 et 43.By using a white paint for the upper insulating
On notera aux figures 5 et 6 que la plaquette 23, qui traverse la bande conductrice supérieure 4 et son revêtement 9 au travers de la fente 42, comporte deux découpures en U 26A et 26B définissant deux languettes 27A et 27B destinées à être repliées en sens inverse, de manière à ce que leurs bords libres 28A et 28B viennent s'appuyer de part et d'autre de la fente 42 pour assurer le montage de l'ensemble.It will be noted in FIGS. 5 and 6 that the
En variante, les deux languettes peuvent être repliées du même côté de la plaquette. De plus, les languettes peuvent être réalisées également sur les bords de la plaquette plutôt qu'en son centre.As a variant, the two tabs can be folded back on the same side of the plate. In addition, the tongues can also be produced on the edges of the plate rather than at its center.
Il va sans dire que l'invention n'est pas limitée à une rampe d'éclairage au moyen d'ampoules, et que l'on peut en variante prévoir d'utiliser le principe de l'emboitage de deux bandes conductrices dans un profilé plastique en adaptant l'écartement et les formes des éléments de connection à d'autres sources lumineuses ou tous éléments consommateurs de courant.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to a light bar by means of bulbs, and that it is alternatively possible to provide for using the principle of fitting two conductive strips into a profile. plastic by adapting the spacing and the shapes of the connection elements to other light sources or all current consuming elements.
On peut aussi par exemple, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, insérer entre les plaquettes conductrices des adaptateurs ou des supports conducteurs de lampes d'éclairage à contact fourchettes, par exemple des lampes à halogène. Ces supports peuvent en variante autoriser l'orientation d'éléments lumineux tels que des spots.It is also possible, for example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, to insert adapters or conductive supports between fork contact lighting lamps, for example halogen lamps, between the conductive plates. These supports may alternatively allow the orientation of light elements such as spotlights.
De plus, le nombre de bandes conductrices n'est pas limité à deux, un nombre supérieur permettant d'obtenir une rampe avec plusieurs intensités d'éclairage.In addition, the number of conductive strips is not limited to two, a higher number making it possible to obtain a ramp with several lighting intensities.
