Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de projection/réflexion d'images susceptible notamment d'être intégré ou disposé au voisinage de monuments funéraires, de mobilier urbain, de supports publicitaires ou similaire.The present invention relates to a device for projection / reflection of images likely in particular to be integrated or arranged in the vicinity of funerary monuments, street furniture, advertising media or the like.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif d'éclairage d'une image transparente ou translucide et la projection de cette image à distance pour la rendre particulièrement visible à un observateur.The invention relates more particularly to a device lighting a transparent or translucent image and the projection of this image from a distance to make it particularly visible to an observer.
Un certain nombre de documents décrivent des dispositifs qui intègrent d'une part une ou plusieurs images sous forme de photo ou autres, d'autre part des moyens d'éclairage de ladite image. Ainsi, le brevet EP-A-0.522.195 décrit un dispositif d'éclairage d'une image ou d'un logo placé sur le toit d'un véhicule, cette image étant lue au moyen d'un dispositif réfléchissant tel qu'un miroir. Cependant, en raison de l'application de ce dispositif, en particulier sur le toit des véhicules, notamment des camions, il est nécessaire de prévoir entre le support d'images et l'organe réfléchissant un passage formant un conduit pour l'écoulement de l'air. De ce fait, il est impossible d'assombrir la luminosité ambiante pour créer une zone suffisamment obscure formant un contraste avec la zone extérieure ambiante. Ce clair-obscur est donc réalisé au niveau de l'image dans le plan image au moyen de zones claires-sombres ou noires-blanches réalisées par des pleins et des vides. Un tel dispositif ne permet donc pas la projection d'images complexes, en particulier d'images colorées telles que des photos ou des vitraux.A number of documents describe devices which integrate one or more images on the one hand photo or other, on the other hand, means of lighting said image. Thus, patent EP-A-0.522.195 describes a lighting device for an image or logo placed on the roof of a vehicle, this image being read by means of a reflecting device such as a mirror. However, in reason for the application of this device, especially on the roof of vehicles, especially trucks, it is necessary to provide between the image support and the organ reflecting a passage forming a conduit for flow air. Therefore, it is impossible to darken the ambient light to create a sufficiently dark area contrasting with the surrounding outdoor area. This chiaroscuro is therefore achieved at the level of the image in the image plane using light-dark or black-white areas made by full and empty. Such device therefore does not allow the projection of images complex, especially colored images such as photos or stained glass.
Dans le brevet AU-B-73.038, il est décrit un article publicitaire se présentant sous forme d'un complexe monobloc constitué d'un écran transparent superposé à une image type logotype, laquelle est recouverte d'une surface réfléchissante, elle-même recouverte par une surface de soutien. Un tel dispositif ne permet en aucun cas une lecture optimale intimiste d'une image.In patent AU-B-73.038, an article is described advertising in the form of a one-piece complex consisting of a transparent screen superimposed on a standard image logotype, which is covered with a surface reflective, itself covered by a surface of support. Such a device does not in any case allow reading optimal intimate image.
Le brevet FR-A-2.614.581 décrit un dispositif analogue. Dans les deux documents précités, la face sensible de l'image est protégée par un simple filtre.FR-A-2,614,581 describes a similar device. In the two aforementioned documents, the sensitive side of the image is protected by a simple filter.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de projection d'une image lumineuse par la lumière naturelle ambiante, un tel dispositif permettant d'optimiser qualitativement la lecture à distance d'une image souvenir ou d'information sans être dépendant du milieu et sans changement des valeurs du spectre lumineux.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device projection of a bright image by natural light ambient, such a device making it possible to optimize qualitatively the remote reading of a souvenir image or without being dependent on the environment and without changing the values of the light spectrum.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de réflexion de l'image qui permet d'obtenir par contraste un détaché d'images permettant une très bonne lecture de l'image à distance et un effet visuel agréable à l'oeil.Another object of the invention is to propose a device for reflection of the image which makes it possible to obtain by contrast a detached from images allowing a very good reading of the image from a distance and a visual effect pleasing to the eye.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de projection/réflexion d'images, notamment pour des monuments funéraires, du mobilier urbain, mais non exclusivement, pour optimiser la lecture d'une image souvenir ou une image information, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué principalement par un caisson ayant pour fonction d'assombrir la lumière extérieure et ouvert en deux points appelés respectivement orifice d'entrée de lumière du caisson et orifice de sortie de lumière du caisson, l'orifice d'entrée de lumière du caisson étant fermé au moins partiellement par, ou comportant à son voisinage, un diffuseur pour répartir et éventuellement filtrer la lumière extérieure ambiante destinée à traverser une image transparente ou translucide de type photographie ou vitrail disposée dans, ou au voisinage de, l'orifice d'entrée de lumière du caisson, tandis que l'orifice de sortie de lumière du caisson est fermé au moins partiellement par, ou équipé à son voisinage de, au moins un dispositif réfléchissant, tel qu'un miroir, visible par un observateur et sur lequel est réfléchie l'image projetée.To this end, the invention relates to a device for projection / reflection of images, especially for monuments funeral, urban furniture, but not exclusively, for optimize the reading of a souvenir image or an image information, characterized in that it consists mainly by a box having the function of darkening outside and open light at two points called respectively light inlet port of the box and light outlet of the cabinet, the inlet of light from the box being closed at least partially by, or comprising in its vicinity, a diffuser for distribute and possibly filter the ambient outside light intended to pass through an image transparent or translucent like photography or stained glass disposed in, or in the vicinity of, the inlet port of light from the housing, while the light exit port of the box is at least partially closed by, or equipped with its vicinity of, at least one reflecting device, such that a mirror, visible to an observer and on which is reflected the projected image.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, le diffuseur est incorporé à une image de type photo développée sur un support translucide, l'ensemble étant inséré à l'intérieur d'un support tel qu'un cadre constitué par un double vitrage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the diffuser is incorporated into a developed photo type image on a translucent support, the assembly being inserted at inside a support such as a frame constituted by a double glazing.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description
suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins
annexés dans lesquels :
Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif de
projection/réflexion d'images est destiné à être utilisé en
combinaison avec des monuments funéraires, par exemple une
tombe ou avec du mobilier urbain ou avec un support
publicitaire ou seul. Dans ce dernier cas, il pourra se
présenter sous forme d'un objet souvenir, l'image projetée
correspondant à un paysage, à un site, etc. Ce dispositif peut
être utilisé en coopération avec toute installation où
l'image, qu'elle soit image souvenir ou image information,
joue un rôle important. En réalité, il s'agit de toute
installation où une communication par l'image est nécessaire.
Indépendamment de ses applications et de ses utilisations, le
dispositif de projection/réflexion d'images, objet de
l'invention, est constitué principalement par un caisson 2 de
forme quelconque ayant fonction d'assombrir la lumière
extérieure 7. Cette lumière extérieure peut être une lumière
naturelle ou artificielle. La lumière naturelle sera préférée
car elle ne modifie pas les valeurs du spectre lumineux et
permet la réalisation d'un dispositif de projection très
simple et donc peu onéreux. Dans les exemples représentés aux
figures 1 à 3, ce caisson 2 se présente sous forme d'un volume
parallélépipédique mais toute autre forme de réalisation peut
être envisagée. Ce caisson 2 est ouvert en deux points appelés
respectivement orifice 10 d'entrée de lumière du caisson et
orifice 11 de sortie de lumière du caisson. Ces orifices 10 et
11 d'entrée et de sortie peuvent être positionnés en des
endroits quelconques du caisson. Le positionnement de ces
orifices déterminera le positionnement de l'image 5 devant
être projetée et le positionnement du dispositif réfléchissant
1. En effet, l'orifice 10 d'entrée de lumière du caisson 2 est
fermé au moins partiellement par, ou comporte à son voisinage,
un diffuseur 6 pour filtrer la lumière extérieure 7 ambiante
destinée à traverser une image 5, ladite image 5 généralement
translucide ou transparente étant disposée dans, ou au
voisinage de, l'orifice d'entrée de lumière du caisson, de
telle sorte que la lumière filtrée par le diffuseur soit
captée et projetée au travers de cette image 5. Cette image 5
peut être constituée par exemple par un vitrail ou par une
photographie. Cette photographie peut être obtenue par des
techniques bien connues du type Duratrans (marque déposée) ou
Cibatrans (marque déposée). Dans ce cas, ces photos sont
développées sur un support translucide. Le diffuseur est alors
incorporé à l'image. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation de
l'invention, le diffuseur peut être constitué par un filtre en
soi connu placé en avant de l'image dans le sens d'entrée de
la lumière à l'intérieur du caisson. Selon les applications
auxquelles le dispositif de projection/réflexion d'images est
destiné, l'image et son diffuseur pourront en particulier être
protégés des intempéries grâce à un dispositif de protection
approprié. Ce dispositif de protection peut être constitué par
un cadre, une enveloppe, une pochette ou similaire à
l'intérieur duquel le diffuseur et l'image sont incorporés.
Les solutions les plus simples sont généralement constituées
par un cadre formé d'un double vitrage à l'intérieur duquel
l'image et son diffuseur sont insérés, le cadre étant par la
suite placé dans ou au voisinage de l'orifice 10 d'entrée de
lumière du caisson. L'orifice 11 de sortie de lumière du
caisson est, quant à lui, fermé au moins partiellement par, ou
équipé à son voisinage de, au moins un dispositif
réfléchissant 1, tel qu'un miroir, visible par un observateur
et sur lequel est réfléchie l'image projetée 8. Ce miroir peut
donc être disposé à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du caisson 2.
Le caisson peut être réalisé en un matériau quelconque. Dans
le cas où ce dispositif est incorporé à un monument funéraire,
le caisson sera généralement réalisé en un matériau identique
au matériau utilisé pour la réalisation de la pierre tombale.In accordance with the invention, the device for
image projection / reflection is intended for use in
combination with funerary monuments, for example a
falls or with street furniture or with a support
advertising or alone. In the latter case, it may
present in the form of a souvenir object, the projected image
corresponding to a landscape, a site, etc. This device can
be used in cooperation with any installation where
the image, be it a souvenir image or an information image,
play an important role. In reality, it is all
installation where communication by image is necessary.
Regardless of its applications and uses,
image projection / reflection device, object of
the invention, consists mainly of a
Pour éviter des phénomènes de condensation à l'intérieur du caisson et l'effet de serre pour les caissons exposés au soleil, on prévoira des moyens de ventilation de ce caisson. A titre d'exemple, ces moyens de ventilation peuvent être constitués d'une chicane disposée au voisinage de l'orifice d'entrée de lumière du caisson obstruant les rayons lumineux et laissant passer l'air chaud montant par effet de cheminée.To avoid condensation phenomena inside the box and the greenhouse effect for boxes exposed to sun, we will provide means of ventilation of this box. AT as an example, these ventilation means can be consisting of a baffle arranged in the vicinity of the orifice light inlet of the box obstructing the light rays and allowing the rising hot air to pass through the chimney effect.
En fonction de sa destination, le caisson peut être positionné
au moyen d'un support approprié tel qu'un portique 3. Dans les
exemples représentés aux figures 1 à 3, le dispositif de
projection/réflexion d'images est intégré à une pierre
tombale. Dans ce cas, à la surface supérieure de la pierre
tombale est disposé à plat ou légèrement incliné le miroir 1.
Ce miroir réfléchit l'image 8 projetée à l'intérieur du
caisson 2 par l'intermédiaire de la lumière ambiante 7
rentrant en 10 à l'intérieur du caisson et sortant en 11. Un
observateur 9 disposé à une extrémité de la tombe est
susceptible d'observer l'image projetée sur le miroir 1. Un
tel dispositif permet donc une lecture intimiste de l'image.
L'image est quant à elle positionnée à l'autre extrémité du
caisson en 5. Disposé en amont de cette image, un diffuseur 6
répartit la lumière devant traverser cette image 5. Il est
possible que l'orifice de sortie 11 de lumière du caisson soit
fermé de manière supplémentaire par un matériau transparent 4.
Cette plaque transparente n'est en aucun cas obligatoire. Le
caisson 2 est maintenu en position inclinée par rapport à la
pierre tombale au moyen d'un portique 3 affectant la forme
d'un U, l'âme du U étant surmontée d'une croix qui complète le
monument. Dans ce cas, l'orifice 10 d'entrée de lumière du
caisson 2 est positionné vers le ciel et l'orifice 11 de
sortie de lumière du caisson est positionné vers le sol dans
une inclinaison variable de 0 à 180°.Depending on its destination, the box can be positioned
by means of an appropriate support such as a
Toutefois, un grand nombre d'autres modes de réalisation et de
positionnement du caisson peuvent être envisagés. De même,
l'orifice 10 d'entrée de lumière et l'orifice 11 de sortie de
lumière du caisson 2 ne sont pas forcément disposés en regard.
En effet, il convient uniquement de respecter que la forme
géométrique image 5 - miroir 1 - regard de l'observateur soit
en concordance. L'intérêt d'un tel dispositif réside d'une
part dans sa simplicité de mise en oeuvre, d'autre part dans
la qualité de l'image projetée du fait de l'utilisation de la
lumière naturelle ambiante. En effet, le fait de n'utiliser
aucune source de lumière artificielle permet de respecter les
couleurs en ne modifiant pas la température et donc les
valeurs du spectre lumineux. De ce fait, on observe aucune
perte du rendu de l'image. En outre, sur le plan esthétique et
visuel, on obtient un effet d'écrin pour l'image par son
environnement de clair et d'obscur ; ce qui offre un aspect
visuel agréable à l'oeil tout en permettant une lecture
personnalisée et intimiste de l'image.However, a large number of other embodiments and
positioning of the box can be considered. Likewise,
the
