Description

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif pour le montage de lampes électriques, et, plus particulièrement, mais non exclusivement, de lampes halogènes.The invention relates to a device for mounting electric lamps, and more particularly, but not exclusively, halogen lamps.

Les lampes halogènes, ainsi que d'autres lampes tubulaires d'éclairage luminescent, sont actuellement montées sur une paire de contacts, devant une parabole ou organe réfléchissant analogue. Sur l'arrière de la parabole, sont disposés, logés dans une calotte ou vasque de protection arrière, les fils pour l'alimentation des contacts de la lampe, le fil de terre et les bornes de branchement avec le câble d'alimentation. Tous ces éléments sont généralement laissés libres dans l'espace compris entre la parabole et la calotte ou vasque de protection, et les gaînes isolantes de revêtement des fils sont fréquemment en contact avec ladite parabole réfléchissante, qui se trouve portée à une température élevée en cours d'utilisation, par suite de l'énergie thermique diffusée à partir de la lampe. Ceci implique la possibilité de détérioration des gaînes isolantes, avec le risque qui en découle de production de courts-circuits.Halogen lamps, as well as other tubular luminescent lighting lamps, are currently mounted on a pair of contacts, in front of a parabola or similar reflecting member. On the rear of the parabola, the wires for supplying the lamp contacts, the earth wire and the connection terminals with the power cable are arranged, housed in a rear protective cap or basin. All these elements are generally left free in the space between the parabola and the protective cap or bowl, and the insulating sheaths for coating the wires are frequently in contact with said reflective parabola, which is brought to a high temperature during of use, as a result of the thermal energy diffused from the lamp. This implies the possibility of deterioration of the insulating sheaths, with the resulting risk of producing short circuits.

L'invention se fixe pour but la réalisation, pour le logement des fils et des contacts électriques destinés au montage d'une lampe électrique tubulaire, telle que, notamment, une lampe halogène, d'un boîtier ne présentant pas les inconvénients précédemment mentionnés.The object of the invention is to provide, for housing the wires and the electrical contacts intended for mounting a tubular electric lamp, such as, in particular, a halogen lamp, a housing which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above.

L'objet de l'invention consiste essentiellement en un boîtier de logement des contacts pour l'alimentation d'une lampe tubulaire d'éclairage telle qu'une lampe halogène ou similaire qui comprend des moyens pour le branchement électrique des fils d'alimentation aux contacts de la lampe, des moyens de support de la lampe tubulaire étant associés audit boîtier.The object of the invention consists essentially of a housing for housing the contacts for the supply of a tubular lighting lamp such as a halogen lamp or the like which comprises means for the electrical connection of the supply wires to the lamp contacts, means for supporting the tubular lamp being associated with said housing.

Lesdits moyens de support de la lampe peuvent être réalisés d'une seule pièce avec ledit boîtier, ou rapportés sur celui-ci.Said lamp support means can be made in one piece with said housing, or attached to it.

De manière avantageuse, le boîtier comprend des moyens pour le raccordement d'une vasque ou calotte arrière de protection. En variante, le boîtier peut être réalisé d'une seule pièce avec une calotte arrière de protection.Advantageously, the housing comprises means for the connection of a rear protective basin or cap. Alternatively, the housing can be made in one piece with a rear protective cap.

Des moyens de fixation d'une parabole réfléchissante ou réflecteur peuvent être en outre prévus sur le boîtier.Means for fixing a reflecting or reflective parabola can also be provided on the housing.

Celui-ci peut comprendre un couvercle, sur lequel est fixé un étrier de support des contacts de la lampe.This may include a cover, on which is fixed a bracket for supporting the lamp contacts.

Des prolongements creux également rapportés peuvent être prévus pour le logement de contacts à lame ressorts pour ladite lampe.Hollow extensions also reported can be provided for the housing of leaf spring contacts for said lamp.

L'invention se comprendra mieux à la lecture de la description qui suit, en se reportant aux planches de dessins annexées, lesquelles représentent des exemples pratiques, mais non limitatifs, de réalisations de l'invention proprement dite.The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawing boards, which represent practical, but not limiting, examples of embodiments of the invention itself.

En se reportant en premier lieu à la figure 1, on voit un lampadaire ou lampe halogène comportant un élément réfléchissant ou réflecteur 1 appelé "parabole" dans la suite du présent exposé, mais qui peut, par ailleurs, se présenter sous une forme quelconque appropriée, même non parabolique. Cette parabole 1 comporte, dans sa zone centrale, une cavité 3 dans laquelle est logée une lampe halogène ou ampoule d'éclairage halogène 5, montée entre deux contacts 7 portant ladite ampoule et eux-mêmes supportés de la manière décrite ci-après.Referring first to Figure 1, we see a floor lamp or halogen lamp having a reflective or reflective element 1 called "parabola" in the rest of this presentation, but which may also be in any suitable form , even non-parabolic. This parabola 1 comprises, in its central zone, a cavity 3 in which is housed a halogen lamp or halogen light bulb 5, mounted between two contacts 7 carrying said bulb and themselves supported in the manner described below.

Derrière la parabole 1, est disposée une vasque ou calotte 9, de protection. Entre la calotte 9 et la parabole 1, est, selon l'invention, disposé un boîtier 11 qui contient toutes les cosses et tous les fils ou câbles électriques, qui supporte les contacts 7 pour la lampe 5, et qui sert également d'élément de liaison entre la calotte 9 et la parabole 1. Le boîtier 11, qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, est illustré de façon plus détaillée aux figures 2 à 4.Behind the dish 1, there is a bowl or cap 9, for protection. Between the cap 9 and the dish 1, is, according to the invention, disposed a housing 11 which contains all the lugs and all the electric wires or cables, which supports the contacts 7 for the lamp 5, and which also serves as an element of connection between the cap 9 and the parabola 1. The housing 11, which is the subject of the present invention, is illustrated in more detail in FIGS. 2 to 4.

Suivant l'exemple de réalisation illustré aux figures 2 à 4, le boîtier 11 présente une première chambe 13 pour le passage du câble d'alimentation 21 et une deuxième chambre 15 pour le logement d'une plaque à cosses 17. Dans le fond de la chambre 13 est prévu un trou traversant 19, à travers lequel passe le câble électrique d'alimentation 21, lequel est fixé au boîter 11, et plus précisément sur le fond de la chambre 13, au moyen d'une petite bride 23. Les trois fils 25, 27, 29 (les deux fils de phase et le fil de terre) du câble d'alimentation 21 sont reliés à la plaque de cosses ou bornier 17, sur laquelle ou sur lequel sont branchés trois fils correspondants 31, 33, 35 de raccordement avec les contacts de la lampe 5 et avec la terre. De cette façon, tous les contacts électriques se trouvent logés d'une manière stable à l'intérieur du boîtier 11. A la place de la bride 23, on peut prévoir des plots pour l'engagement du câble 21 suivant une disposition en S, avec un prolongement en regard sur le couvercle. La plaque à cosses 17 peut également être remplacée par des bornes dites "fast on".According to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 2 to 4, the housing 11 has a first chamber 13 for the passage of the power cable 21 and a second chamber 15 for the housing of a lug plate 17. In the bottom of the chamber 13 is provided with a through hole 19, through which the electrical supply cable 21 passes, which is fixed to the housing 11, and more precisely on the bottom of the chamber 13, by means of a small flange 23. The three wires 25, 27, 29 (the two phase wires and the earth wire) of the power cable 21 are connected to the terminal plate or terminal block 17, to which or to which three corresponding wires 31, 33 are connected, 35 of connection with the contacts of the lamp 5 and with the earth. In this way, all the electrical contacts are housed in a stable manner inside the housing 11. In place of the flange 23, it is possible to provide studs for the engagement of the cable 21 according to an arrangement in S, with an extension next to the cover. The lug plate 17 can also be replaced by so-called "fast on" terminals.

Le boîtier 11 est fermé au moyen d'un couvercle 37 (figure 4), qui peut être appliqué sur ledit boîtier par emboîtement et/ou à l'aide de vis de blocage vissées dans des trous filetés correspondants 39 du boîtier 11 et passant à travers des trous traversants correspondants 41 ménagés dans ledit couvercle 37. Sur ce dernier, est fixé, au moyen d'un axe fileté 43 et d'un écrou 45, un étrier 47 supportant les contacts 7 pour la lampe. L'axe fileté 43 s'étend de façon à pouvoir être également utilisé pour bloquer, par l'intermédiaire d'un autre écrou 49, la parabole réfléchissante 1 sur le boîtier 11 (figure 1).The housing 11 is closed by means of a cover 37 (FIG. 4), which can be applied to the said housing by interlocking and / or using locking screws screwed into corresponding threaded holes 39 of the housing 11 and passing through through corresponding through holes 41 formed in said cover 37. On the latter, is fixed, by means of a threaded pin 43 and a nut 45, a bracket 47 supporting the contacts 7 for the lamp. The threaded axis 43 extends so that it can also be used to block, by means of another nut 49, the reflective parabola 1 on the housing 11 (FIG. 1).

Dans le fond du boîtier 11, sont prévus des trous filetés 51 pour la fixation de la calotte ou vasque de protection 9. Par conséquent, le boîtier 11, en plus de recevoir tous les fils et toutes les cosses ou bornes électriques permettant d'éviter le contact avec la parabole 1 surchauffée par la lampe 5, sert également d'élément de structure de raccordement entre la calotte 9, les contacts 7 pour la lampe 5, et la parabole réfléchissante 1.In the bottom of the housing 11, there are provided threaded holes 51 for fixing the cap or protective bowl 9. Consequently, the housing 11, in addition to receiving all the wires and all the terminals or electrical terminals making it possible to avoid the contact with the dish 1 overheated by the lamp 5, also serves as a connecting structure element between the cap 9, the contacts 7 for the lamp 5, and the reflective dish 1.

Les figures 5 à 7 représentent une deuxième forme de mise en oeuvre du boîtier selon l'invention. En ce qui concerne cette forme de mise en oeuvre, le boîtier est indiqué, dans son ensemble, par la référence 55, sur les figures 5 et 6. Le fond du boîtier 55, est pourvu d'un trou 57 à travers lequel passe le câble 59 d'alimentation. L'extrémité du câble 59 est bloquée par une petite bride 61, tandis que les trois fils 63, 65, 67, représentant les deux fils de phase et le fil de terre, sont respectivement bloqués dans des cosses ou bornes appropriées 69, 71, 73. Le fil 65 est relié à la masse 75, tandis que les fils 63, 67 sont reliés aux deux contacts pour la lampe, dont un seulement est visible à la figure 5 et désigné par la référence 77. Les contacts 77 sont logés dans des prolongements creux 79 réalisés d'une seule pièce avec le boîtier 55, ou rapportés sur le boîtier, en fonction des exigences des techniques d'emboutissage ou de montage mises en oeuvre. Le boîtier 55 est fermé par un couvercle 81 (figure 7), qui est bloqué par des vis s'engageant dans des trous traversants 83 réservés dans le couvercle 81 et se vissant dans des trous filetés 85 que présente le corps du boîtier 55. Sur le couvercle 81, est fixé un axe fileté 87 avec un écrou correspondant 89, pour le blocage de la parabole réfléchissante (non représentée). Dans la partie arrière du boîtier 55, sont prévus deux trous filetés 91, dont un seulement est visible à la figure 5, pour le blocage de la calotte de protection arrière (non illustrée).Figures 5 to 7 show a second embodiment of the housing according to the invention. With regard to this embodiment, the housing is indicated, as a whole, by the reference 55, in FIGS. 5 and 6. The bottom of the housing 55, is provided with a hole 57 through which the power cable 59. The end of the cable 59 is blocked by a small flange 61, while the three wires 63, 65, 67, representing the two phase wires and the ground wire, are respectively blocked in suitable lugs or terminals 69, 71, 73. The wire 65 is connected to the ground 75, while the wires 63, 67 are connected to the two contacts for the lamp, only one of which is visible in FIG. 5 and designated by the reference 77. The contacts 77 are housed in hollow extensions 79 produced in one piece with the housing 55, or attached to the housing, depending on the requirements of the stamping or mounting techniques used in action. The housing 55 is closed by a cover 81 (FIG. 7), which is blocked by screws engaging in through holes 83 reserved in the cover 81 and screwing into threaded holes 85 that the body of the housing 55 presents. the cover 81, is fixed a threaded pin 87 with a corresponding nut 89, for blocking the reflecting dish (not shown). In the rear part of the housing 55, two threaded holes 91 are provided, only one of which is visible in FIG. 5, for blocking the rear protective cap (not shown).

On a montré, à la figure 8, une autre forme de réalisation d'une lampe et d'un boîtier exécutés selon l'invention. Dans cette forme de mise en oeuvre, la référence 100 désigne une parabole réfléchissante avec une partie 103 surbaissée formant une cavité pour le logement de la lampe halogène 105. La lampe 105 est soutenue par deux contacts 109 dépassant à partir de petites fenêtres 107 ménagées dans la parabole réfléchissante 100 et entre lesquels est disposée ladite lampe.FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of a lamp and a housing executed according to the invention. In this embodiment, the reference 100 designates a reflective parabola with a lowered portion 103 forming a cavity for housing the halogen lamp 105. The lamp 105 is supported by two contacts 109 protruding from small windows 107 formed in the reflective parabola 100 and between which said lamp is disposed.

La parabole 100 est fixée, au moyen d'une vis 110, à un couvercle 111 d'un boîtier 113 assurant des fonctions équivalentes à celles du boîtier 55 et du boîtier 11 précédemment décrits. Dans le fond du boîtier 113, est prévu un trou traversant 115 pour le passage du câble d'alimen­tation 117, dont l'extrémité interne par rapport au boîtier 113 est fixée sur le fond de ce dernier au moyen d'une petite bride 119. Deux prolongements 121, solidaires du boîtier 113 supportent les contacts 109 de la lampe 105, et comportent une cannelure 123 prévue pour recevoir les fils des deux phases, désignés par la référence 125. Les fils 125 sont reliés à des fils correspondants 127 du câble 117 au moyen de cosses ou bornes 129. Un troisième fil 131, qui est le fil de terre, est relié électriquement à la parabole réfléchissante 100 par l'intermédiaire d'une borne 133 et d'un autre fil 135.The parabola 100 is fixed, by means of a screw 110, to a cover 111 of a housing 113 ensuring functions equivalent to those of the housing 55 and of the housing 11 previously described. In the bottom of the housing 113, a through hole 115 is provided for the passage of the supply cable 117, the inner end of which relative to the housing 113 is fixed to the bottom of the latter by means of a small flange 119. Two extensions 121, integral with the housing 113 support the contacts 109 of the lamp 105, and include a groove 123 intended to receive the wires of the two phases, designated by the reference 125. The wires 125 are connected to corresponding wires 127 of the cable 117 by means of lugs or terminals 129. A third wire 131, which is the ground wire, is electrically connected to the reflective parabola 100 via a terminal 133 and another wire 135.

Dans la forme de mise en oeuvre illustrée à la figure 8, le boîtier 113 est réalisé d'une seule pièce avec une calotte de protection 137, analogue à la calotte 9 précédemment décrite. Il est bien évident, par ailleurs, que la calotte peut être réalisée séparément et fixée au boîtier 113 d'une manière analogue aux solutions illustrées précédemment.In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 8, the housing 113 is made in one piece with a protective cap 137, similar to the cap 9 previously described. It is quite obvious, moreover, that the cap can be produced separately and fixed to the housing 113 in a manner analogous to the solutions illustrated above.

En ce qui concerne les solutions des figures 5 à 7 et de la figure 8, des plots peuvent également être substitués aux bornes et aux cosses "fast on" sur les borniers ou plaques à cosses, comme il a été précédemment indiqué en alternative à la solution constituée par les organes 23 et 17 de la figure 3.With regard to the solutions in FIGS. 5 to 7 and in FIG. 8, studs can also be substituted for the terminals and "fast on" lugs on the terminal blocks or lug plates, as previously indicated as an alternative to the solution constituted by the members 23 and 17 of FIG. 3.

On a représenté, à la figure 9, une forme de mise en oeuvre équivalente à celle montrée à la figure 5. Le boîtier, dans cette réalisation indiquée de manière générale par la référence 150, comporte deux parties 150A, 150B accouplées entre elles, dont une (la partie supérieure 150B) forme des prolongements creux 152 pour le logement des contacts de la lampe. Dans le fond de la partie inférieure 150A est pratiqué un trou 157 pour le passage du câble d'alimentation 159. Les deux fils de phase 161, 163 sont bloqués par deux bornes 165, 167 sur deux contacts 169, 171 en forme de lames ressorts destinés à supporter la lampe désignée par la référence 173.FIG. 9 shows a form of implementation equivalent to that shown in FIG. 5. The housing, in this embodiment indicated generally by the reference 150, comprises two parts 150A, 150B coupled together, of which one (the upper part 150B) forms hollow extensions 152 for housing the lamp contacts. In the bottom of the lower part 150A is made a hole 157 for the passage of the power cable 159. The two phase wires 161, 163 are blocked by two terminals 165, 167 on two contacts 169, 171 in the form of leaf springs intended to support the lamp designated by the reference 173.

L'invention vise également les lampes ou lampadaires halogènes équipés d'un boîtier pour contacts électriques d'ampoules halogènes ou ampoules tubulaires similaires, réalisé de la manière précédemment décrite.The invention also relates to halogen lamps or floor lamps fitted with a housing for electrical contacts of halogen bulbs or similar tubular bulbs, produced in the manner previously described.

Il est bien entendu que les dessins montrent seulement des exemples d'exécution donnés uniquement à titre de démonstration pratique de l'invention, la mise en oeuvre de celle-ci pouvant varier dans les formes et les dimensions ou aménagements, sans pour autant dépasser le cadre et l'esprit de l'invention.It is understood that the drawings only show examples of execution given solely as a practical demonstration of the invention, the implementation of which may vary in shapes and dimensions or arrangements, without however exceeding the framework and spirit of the invention.
