Definitions

  • the present invention relates to safety devices in the maritime field, it relates more particularly to a light float or buoy intended for tracking at night, at sea, lake or river.
  • Document US-A-2,825,803 presents a light device consisting of a floating body which is surmounted by a bulb powered by means of several batteries housed inside said floating body. The activation of the circuit and the activation of the bulb are carried out by sea water.
  • Such a device is bulky and has a limited operating time; in addition, the bulb is very vulnerable and has no protection.
  • Such a light device is also described in US-A-2,803,838.
  • This device includes an electronic bulb supply circuit to obtain flashes; this device is particularly complex and expensive.
  • the present invention aims to achieve a safety device of the light float type, very simple, combining speed of assembly, reliability and long operating time.
  • It also aims to provide a very light system, compact and having an attractive appearance capable of lifting the psychological barrier of the port of such a safety device by potential users.
  • This floating light buoy is of the type consisting of a shell-shaped housing, inside which is housed a supply battery for an illuminating member located in the center of a reflective mirror, under a transparent dome which covers the upper part of said shell.
  • the supply circuit of the lighting device is automatically closed by the aquatic environment.
  • this buoy comprises an illuminating member consisting of a light emitting diode LED and, interposed between said illuminating member and the supply battery, a resistance adapted to the circuit, making it possible to increase the operating autonomy of the buoy. A light, reliable and resistant system is thus obtained, capable of operating relatively long.
  • the supply circuit of the lighting member has a discontinuity closed automatically by the aquatic environment.
  • This discontinuous circuit consists of a first electrode connected to one of the poles of the battery and, starting from the other pole, of an electrical resistance, of the lighting member and of a second electrode.
  • This buoy has the important characteristic of becoming luminous as soon as it is immersed in water, and this without intervention of any kind.
  • this buoy consists of a sealed enclosure consisting of a hemispherical housing provided with a cylindrical housing in its lower part and a threaded part on its upper edge. This threaded part allows the adaptation of the complementary transparent dome.
  • the lower cylindrical housing is intended to receive and partition, at least in part, the various elements of the discontinuous electrical circuit.
  • this lower housing is provided with means for fixing the electrodes, which are intended to pass through the bottom of said housing, in a sealed manner, to present, on the one hand, an internal part intended for contact with the corresponding elements of the circuit and, on the other hand, an external part intended for contact with the surrounding liquid for closing the circuit.
  • each electrode is in the form of a cylindrical metal rod provided with a head. These electrodes are intended to be forced into holes in the bottom of the cylindrical housing so that only the head remains outside.
  • the lower cylindrical housing comprises means allowing the positioning and the longitudinal and lateral setting of the battery on the bottom.
  • the lateral wedging means of this battery consist of a set of tongues integral with the vertical wall and the bottom of the housing.
  • the means for the longitudinal setting of the battery are constituted, on one side, by one of the electrodes housed in an open reinforcement so as to release a generator of contact with the corresponding stud of the battery and, on the other side, by a spiral spring held in place in a notch made in the vertical wall of the housing and intended to make contact with the other stud of the battery.
  • the supply battery which rests on the bottom of the cylindrical housing, serves as a support for the support of the light-emitting diode; this diode support consists of a molded part forming a jumper.
  • This part comprises a base from which extends the diode which optionally covers a cylindrical extension, which extension receives the metal conductors leaving said diode and emerging under the base.
  • Two support legs on the battery extend downwards from the base, which legs preserve a passage for the conductive wires, between said battery and said base.
  • the reflecting mirror has a parabolic shape open upwards. It is provided, in its center, with an orifice for the passage and centering of the diode and its lower part comes to rest on the base of the diode support jumper. This reflective mirror presses on this jumper and the supply battery to block the various elements in position; it is itself blocked by the upper transparent dome which screws onto the shell-forming case.
  • this transparent dome is of hemispherical shape, complementary to that of the lower housing; it is preferably provided with a set of lenses forming magnifying glasses intended to increase the brightness emitted by the diode.
  • the light buoy represented in FIG. 1, consists of a hollow body l forming a housing, which housing has a substantially hemispherical shape, open upwards and extended, in its lower part, by a cylindrical housing 2.
  • This box l is intended to enclose the various elements of an electrical circuit for the supply of an illuminating member 3 in the form of a light-emitting diode LED disposed in the center of a reflective mirror 4.
  • a transparent upper dome 5 covers the part upper case l.
  • This dome 5, in the form of a translucent dome, serves as a magnifying optic; it has a substantially hemispherical shape open downward, complementary to that of said housing 2 and the two parts: housing l and dome 5, are secured to each other by screwing.
  • the combination of these two elements substantially gives the shape of a ball to the buoy bright.
  • this ball can have a diameter close to 50 to 55 mm for the smallest achievements, that is to say a size and an appearance close to those of a tennis ball; however, the size can be larger as required.
  • the power supply circuit of the light-emitting diode 3 consists of a supply battery in the form of an accumulator or battery 6, the negative pole of which is connected to an electrode 7.
  • a second electrode 8 is connected to the diode 3 and a resistor 9 is interposed on the circuit, between said diode 3 and the positive pole of the battery 6.
  • All the elements of the electrical circuit are partitioned into the sealed enclosure produced by the housing 1 and the transparent dome 5; only the two electrodes 7 and 8 have a part inside the buoy, in the sealed enclosure, and a part outside, so as to come into contact with the surrounding medium.
  • These two electrodes 7 and 8 in fact pass through the bottom 10 of the lower cylindrical housing 2, in a sealed manner; they allow the automatic closing of the supply circuit of the lighting member 3 when said electrodes 7 and 8 are in contact with an aqueous medium such as sea or river water.
  • the various constituent elements of the light buoy according to the invention have structural characteristics intended to present said buoy in an attractive form, to simplify assembly as much as possible, to be light and space-saving.

  • the bottom 10 of the housing 2 is extended downwards by a hooking ring 12 intended for securing the buoy, for example on a life jacket.
  • the cylindrical housing 2 which extends the part upper ll substantially hemispherical, is intended to receive and partition, at least in part, the various elements of the discontinuous electrical circuit.
  • this housing 2 comprises means for fixing the electrodes 7 and 8 as well as means for receiving and longitudinal and lateral setting of the supply battery 6.
  • This battery 6 consists for example of a 6 volt cylindrical battery or a mercury battery, 5.4 volts; it is a small conventional battery which can be 2.5 cm long and 1.3 cm in diameter; the two positive and negative poles are arranged at each end of the cylinder.
  • the two electrodes 7 and 8 are identical; one of them is shown in figure l0. These metal electrodes have a cylindrical foot 13 having for example a length of 1.5 cm and a diameter of 0.3 cm. This foot 13 has a hollow portion 14 over about half of its height, it is provided with a head 15 of greater diameter.
  • These electrodes 7 and 8 are made of brass; they may consist of brake lining rivets, which have identical structural characteristics; they are well calibrated and offer a large mass of material at the level of the head 15, thus increasing their longevity in connection with the phenomena of electrolysis and corrosion during immersion in the aquatic environment.
  • the bottom 10 of the cylindrical housing 2 of the housing 1 has two orifices 16 and 17 whose diameter is slightly less than that of the base 13 of the electrodes 7 and 8, so as to allow the engagement of the latter, by force.
  • This forced insertion is carried out from the outside so that only the head l5 protrudes under the bottom l0 of the housing 2.
  • the heads l5 of the electrodes 7 and 8 are intended for contact with the surrounding liquid and the rods or feet 13, which extend inside the sealed enclosure, in contact with the corresponding elements of the electrical circuit.
  • the metal feet 13 are forced into the holes 16 and 17 in a sealed manner.
  • Port 16 is intended for receiving and blocking the electrode 8 and the orifice 17 at the reception and blocking of the electrode 7; these two orifices are arranged on the bottom 10 of the housing 2, outside the space requirement of the supply battery 6 and in a judicious manner in order to simplify the mounting of the electrical circuit as much as possible.
  • the battery 6 is intended to be placed on the bottom 10 of the housing 2, in its central part. It is wedged laterally by means of a set of substantially parallelepipedal tongues l8, integral with the vertical wall l9 and the bottom l0 of the housing 2. These tongues l8 are produced in a single piece with the housing l; in the embodiment shown, there are three of them: two of them are intended to block one of the sides of the stack 6 and the third, arranged opposite, is intended to block the other side of said stack.

  • the light-emitting diode 3 is an LED of maximum intensity equal to 320 milli candelas (m cds), this LED 3 is insensitive to shocks and supports a maximum intensity of 20 milli amperes. Its maximum light intensity is obtained from 12 milliamps.
  • This LED 3 operates with 1.5 volts, but the resistivity of the aquatic environment between the two electrodes 7 and 8 means that an accumulator or battery 6 of 5.4 volts or 6 volts must be provided for proper operation.
  • the 6 volt battery used is a conventional alkaline battery delivering 100 milli amperes. For a longer operating time, a 5.4-volt mercury battery can be used, delivering 240 milliamps.
  • resistors 9 can be used depending on the operating time and the desired light intensity.
  • a resistance 9 of R 200 Ohms, associated with the resistivity of the aquatic environment of the order of 50 to 80 ohms, ensures a consumption of 12 milli amperes per hour by the diode 3. This consumption allows, in association with the battery 6 used, operation of the diode 3 for approximately 8 hours, by delivering a significant light intensity of at least two candelas at the center and outside of the buoy. With the 5.4-volt mercury battery, operating autonomy can be reached for 24 hours.
  • the consumption of the diode is eight milli amperes / hour, which ensures with a 6 volt battery, operation for twelve hours with a light intensity d '' approximately 1.7 candelas in the center and outside of the buoy. (As an indication, one can obtain in this case a luminous intensity of 750 milli candelas on the periphery).
  • the magnifying glasses or lenses 34 have, in this context, a power allowing an amplification of l3.5 times the intensity delivered by the diode. This maximum intensity depends on the type of diode used, in our case it is 320 milli candelas for an emission angle of 20 °.
