  • the invention aims to provide a lighting and suspension device which can, without resorting to complex structural modifications, allow direct or indirect lighting from a cornice contributing to the suspension of objects to be lit.
  • It also aims to allow the use of the device for exhibition halls such as, for example, art galleries, exhibition windows, exhibition halls, museums, etc. by allowing modular assembly and removable light sources. without modifying the structure of the device by proposing a modular lighting and suspension system for picture rails.
  • the present invention relates to a lighting and suspension device for at least one picture rail, characterized in that it comprises a base suitable for being fixed against a wall or a ceiling and at least a first profile constituting a cornice having in section a vertical portion forming in the upper part a cavity for hooking to said base and in the lower part a spout for receiving one end of a support for a picture rail and for horizontal stabilization by a couple s' exerting between said base and said picture support, and a portion with a horizontal tendency of concave shape towards said upper part of the vertical portion and provided with first means of electrical supply of at least one first light source; a proximal end of said portion with a horizontal tendency constituting a vertical bearing surface for said end of the chair rail.
  • the position indications (horizontal, vertical, lower, upper, %) are given by considering the device in the position of use.
  • the shape of the cornice makes it possible on the one hand to constitute a housing for the first means of electrical supply and on the other hand as will be seen thereafter to contribute to the stabilization of the latter on the base that either by its own weight and the weight of the first light source (s) or by using the picture rail.
  • said picture support has a "L" shaped section, the base of which constitutes said end cooperating with said receiving spout and the branch of which constitutes a nut for a threaded upper end of the chair rail; said chair rail contributing during its fixing, by vertical stop of its upper end on said base, to lock said support in a position where said lower part of the vertical portion of the profile is subjected to a stabilizing torque acting between said base and said support.
  • said base has a section in the shape of "C" whose vertical bottom is intended to be fixed on a wall, of which a horizontal lower branch constitutes by its lower face , vertical stop for said upper end of at least one picture rail rod and by its free end, horizontal stop for said receiving spout, and a horizontal upper branch of which has at its free end a vertical extension towards the outside on which s 'engages said attachment cavity of said vertical portion of the cornice; the cavity formed by the two branches of the base constituting a volume for receiving heads of means for fixing the base to the wall.
  • the stabilization of the cornice on the base is therefore ensured by the shape of the cornice by the transfer of the weight of the latter which causes the attachment cavity to bear on the vertical extension of the base, the end of the lower branch of the base serving as a horizontal stop, being locked by the picture rail which, by means of the picture rail, blocks the cornice on the one hand vertically by pressing on the proximal end of its portion with a horizontal tendency and on the other hand horizontally using the base of the support engaged in the receiving spout.
  • said base advantageously has a section in the form of a parallelepiped tube, the two vertical walls of which each constitute a horizontal stop for said spout for receiving a cornice and each comprise an upper extension on which engages said attachment cavity of said vertical portion of the cornice and a lower extension terminated by a horizontal extension towards the inside of the base; the cavity formed by said vertical walls and horizontal walls limiting said tube, constituting a volume for receiving means for fixing the base to the ceiling.
  • said horizontal extension of said lower extension of each vertical wall constitutes a vertical stop for the upper end of at least one picture rail rod associated with a cornice.
  • said lower extensions and their respective horizontal extension define, with a lower horizontal wall of the base, a receiving cavity of the upper end a picture rail and a picture support plate; said horizontal wall lower constituting by its lower face, vertical stop for said end of the picture rail.
  • said base has a section approximately in the shape of an "H" whose lower portions of the branches each constitute a horizontal stop for said spout for receiving a cornice and each comprise, substantially at the level of the "H” bar, an inverted spout on which engages said attachment cavity of said vertical portion of the cornice; the upper portions of said branches defining with said bar a volume for receiving means for fixing the base to the ceiling.
  • This second embodiment finds according to the invention a very particular advantage for ensuring direct lighting downwards from the base.
  • said lower portions of the branches and said bar of said base delimit a cavity for receiving at least one second light source and / or its fixing and electrical connection means, associated with said base; and said lower portions of said branches of said base each comprise, in the vicinity of its free end and directed towards the interior of the base, means for fixing a closing partition of said cavity; said partition being suitable for letting the light flux from a second light source housed in said cavity, or for receiving means for fixing second point light sources for direct lighting housed in said cavity, or for suspension and electrical connection of second point light sources direct lighting suspended from said partition.
  • the base generally represents a larger volume than the base of the first embodiment for fixing under the ceiling, insofar as it defines, in addition to the volume of reception of means for fixing the base to the ceiling, a cavity for receiving at least a second light source associated with the base.
  • the same type of cornice profile is used, whether for wall or ceiling mounting, only the base is of a different constitution, in particular in the case of use in the ceiling, the installation of two cornices in look at each other by their vertical portion thus allowing either a direct lighting of the two faces of the same object or a direct lighting of two objects placed back to back that (s) it (s) t (suspended) s) by means of one or two picture rails, or even direct lighting of the space located below the base.
  • said first electrical supply means comprise a rail made of an electrically insulating material providing in its upper face at least two open and parallel cylindrical housings for receiving at least two electrical supply wires and the lateral ends of which constitute tongues capable of cooperating by snap-fastening with recesses formed on an upper face of said portion with a horizontal tendency of said cornice in the vicinity of a distal end of said vertical portion.
  • the device advantageously comprises at least a first light source secured, optionally by means of a pivot, to a first end of at least one arm of substantially parabolic shape concave downwards in the position of use, including a second end is secured to a clip for suspending and supplying power to said first light source; said clamp being intended to be engaged in the distal end of the cornice by taking support by complementary shape by means of a lower jaw on a lower face of said portion with horizontal tendency while a jaw upper is supported by means of at least one electrical power supply contact with springs on one of said wires of said power rail; said contact being electrically linked to a power supply terminal of said first light source.
  • the first light sources can be constituted by point sources of the spot type or by longitudinal sources of the tube or shuttle type. Depending on the type of source, it will be suspended by one or more arms.

  • the clamps 40 and 40 'associated with the arms 39 and 39' can each be provided with a single spring contact 45 or 45 '( Figure 1) so as to establish the electrical connection between the cornice 3 and the first source by passing to the go by one of the two arms and the return by the other of two arms.
  • FIG. 9 schematically shows a set of lighting and suspension of picture rails using angular connection profiles.
  • first straight cornice element 3 connected on one side to a second cornice element 3 via an angular connecting profile 81 to follow an angle of 90 ° formed by the wall 2 and on the other side to a third cornice element 3 via an angular connecting profile 82 to follow an angle of 270 ° formed by the wall 2.
  • connection profiles have been shown, but any other angle can of course be obtained by a suitable connection profile, these angular connection profiles being similar in structure to the cornices 3.
  • connection profiles 81, 82 To ensure the alignment of the rectilinear cornice elements 3 with the connection profiles 81, 82 or with other rectilinear elements placed end to end, the part with a horizontal tendency 10 of the rectilinear profiles 3 or connection 81, 82 has projecting from its internal face, latching means for connecting parts not shown.
  • latching means can for example be constituted by cylindrical grooves 29 in which engage connecting pieces made up of solid cylindrical sections, of small dimension, ensuring the alignment of two neighboring sections.
