Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'éclairage dit type encastré dans une cloison, et comportant un déflecteur associé à des moyens générateurs de lumière, telle qu'une ampoule. L'ampoule, le déflecteur et les moyens d'alimentation en énergie électrique de l'ampoule sont disposés à l'intérieur d'un logement ou évidement prévu dans la cloison.The present invention relates to a so-called type lighting device embedded in a partition, and comprising a deflector associated with light generating means, such as a bulb. The bulb, the deflector and the means for supplying electrical energy to the bulb are arranged inside a housing or recess provided in the partition.

On connaît des dispositifs d'éclairage à déflecteur réalisés en un matériau métallique, tel que par exemple aluminium ou inox ou tout autre métal approprié.Deflector lighting devices are known which are made of a metallic material, such as for example aluminum or stainless steel or any other suitable metal.

Ces dispositifs connus présentent des inconvénients.These known devices have drawbacks.

En premier lieu, le métal étant bon conducteur des sons, il en résulte que de tels déflecteurs propagent et transmettent les sons, ce qui va à l'encontre des efforts généralement réalisés pour permettre l'isolation phonique des cloisons, dans des locaux à usage d'habitation ou usage professionnel.First, the metal being a good conductor of sounds, it follows that such deflectors propagate and transmit sounds, which goes against the efforts generally made to allow the soundproofing of partitions, in rooms used residential or professional use.

Il en est de même de l'isolation thermique, puisque les métaux sont bons conducteurs thermiques. Là encore, ces dispositifs d'éclairage connus vont à l'encontre des mesures prises dans un souci d'isolation thermique.The same is true of thermal insulation, since metals are good thermal conductors. Again, these known lighting devices go against the measures taken for the sake of thermal insulation.

Egalement, les dispositifs connus ne présentent pas, pour les raisons indiquées ci-dessus, une bonne résistance au feu.Also, the known devices do not exhibit, for the reasons indicated above, good fire resistance.

De plus, les dispositifs connus à déflecteur encastré, sont relativement difficiles à mettre en place. En effet, ils nécessitent des dimensions extrêmement précises et un agencement également très précis par rapport à l'évidement ou logement récepteur prévu dans la cloison. Or, la réalisation des cloisons et des évidements dans les cloisons, d'une part, et la mise en place des dispositifs d'éclairage encastrés, d'autre part, font appel à des corps de métier différents dont la coordination n'est pas souvent facile à réaliser. La difficulté est encore plus grande lorsque vient le moment de raccorder, sur le plan esthétique, les bords du déflecteur et les bords de l'ouverture ou logement récepteur prévu dans la cloison.In addition, the known devices with built-in deflector are relatively difficult to install. In fact, they require extremely precise dimensions and an arrangement which is also very precise with respect to the recess or receiving housing provided in the partition. However, the production of partitions and recesses in the partitions, on the one hand, and the installation of recessed lighting devices, on the other hand, call on different trades whose coordination is not often easy to achieve. The difficulty is even greater when the time comes to connect, aesthetically, the edges of the deflector and the edges of the opening or receptacle provided in the partition.

Enfin, les déflecteurs connus, généralement en métal, sont difficiles à nettoyer, compte tenu des risques de rayures apparaissant lors des opérations de nettoyage ou dépoussiérage. Il en résulte un vieillissement prématuré des déflecteurs qui nuit à la fois à leur efficacité et à leur esthétique.Finally, known deflectors, generally made of metal, are difficult to clean, given the risk of scratches appearing during cleaning or dusting operations. This results in premature aging of the deflectors, which affects both their efficiency and their aesthetics.

Dans ce contexte, l'invention se propose de remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus, et propose un dispositif d'éclairage comprenant un déflecteur susceptible d'être encastré, qui soit facile à mettre en place, et présente des caractéristiques d'isolation phonique, thermique, coupe-feu et électrique excellentes, et également susceptible d'être entretenu aisément et sans dégradation, tout en permettant une mise en place et un raccordement avec les bords de l'ouverture de l'évidement de façon parfaite sur le plan esthétique.In this context, the invention proposes to remedy the above drawbacks, and proposes a lighting device comprising a deflector capable of being embedded, which is easy to install, and has sound insulation characteristics, excellent thermal, fire and electrical properties, and also capable of being maintained easily and without degradation, while allowing placement and connection with the edges of the opening of the recess in an aesthetically perfect manner.

A cette fin, selon l'invention, le dispositif d'éclairage comprenant un déflecteur apte à être encastré dans un évidement prévu dans une cloison, la cavité du déflecteur étant tournée vers l'ouverture dudit évidement, le déflecteur étant associé à au moins un moyen générateur de lumière, apte à être exposé à une extrémité du déflecteur, est caractérisé en ce que ledit déflecteur est réalisé à base de matériau pulvérulent/poudre hydrophile, apte à se solidifier une fois mélangé à l'eau.To this end, according to the invention, the lighting device comprising a deflector capable of being embedded in a recess provided in a partition, the cavity of the deflector being turned towards the opening of said recess, the deflector being associated with at least one light generating means, capable of being exposed at one end of the deflector, is characterized in that said deflector is made from pulverulent material / hydrophilic powder, capable of solidifying when mixed with water.

De préférence, le matériau est constitué de plâtre et d'eau.Preferably, the material consists of plaster and water.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le déflecteur est prolongé du côté des moyens générateurs de lumière, par un fond, lui-même prolongé par une paroi en retour sensiblement parallèle au déflecteur, de manière à définir une cavité réceptrice desdits moyens générateurs de lumière.According to a preferred embodiment, the deflector is extended on the side of the light generating means, by a bottom, itself extended by a back wall substantially parallel to the deflector, so as to define a receiving cavity of said light generating means.

Avantageusement, la partie du déflecteur jouxtant la base est plane et parallèle à la cloison.Advantageously, the part of the deflector adjoining the base is flat and parallel to the partition.

De préférence, le retour est disposé dans le plan de la face avant de ladite cloison.Preferably, the return is arranged in the plane of the front face of said partition.

Avantageusement, la périphérie du déflecteur est associée à des moyens de ragréage assurant la jonction avec le bord de l'ouverture de l'évidement prévu dans la cloison.Advantageously, the periphery of the deflector is associated with leveling means ensuring the junction with the edge of the opening of the recess provided in the partition.

L'invention est décrite ci-après dans l'application à une cloison creuse, mais peut être appliquée à des cloisons remplies ou des murs pleins.The invention is described below in the application to a hollow partition, but can be applied to filled partitions or solid walls.

Comme montré sur la figure 1, le dispositif d'éclairage de l'invention, portant la référence générale 1, comporte un déflecteur 2 de forme générale de demie calotte sphérique, prolongée par une partie 3 sensiblement verticale et plane, un fond 4 sensiblement horizontal et un panneau en retour 5 de direction sensiblement verticale, et parallèle à la partie 3. Le panneau 5 est de forme légèrement courbe et définit avec le fond 4 et la partie 3 une cavité 6 à l'intérieur de laquelle sont susceptibles d'être disposés les moyens d'éclairage 7 constitués d'une douille 8, d'une ampoule du type fluorescente portant la référence 9 et de moyens de branchements 10 reliés à une source d'alimentation d'énergie électrique. Les moyens d'éclairage 7 sont connus en eux-mêmes.As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting device of the invention, bearing the general reference 1, comprises a deflector 2 of the general shape of a half spherical cap, extended by a substantially vertical and flat part 3, a substantially horizontal bottom 4 and a return panel 5 of substantially vertical direction, and parallel to the part 3. The panel 5 is of slightly curved shape and defines with the bottom 4 and the part 3 a cavity 6 inside which are likely to be arranged the lighting means 7 consisting of a socket 8, a fluorescent type bulb bearing the reference 9 and connection means 10 connected to a source of electrical energy supply. The lighting means 7 are known in themselves.

Le dispositif d'éclairage de l'invention est susceptible d'être disposé dans un logement 11 prévu à l'intérieur d'une double cloison 12, 13, et plus précisément d'une double cloison constituée d'un panneau avant 12 et d'un panneau arrière 13 séparés par un espace 14. Les panneaux 12 et 13 de la cloison sont par exemple en plâtre ou tout autre matériau similaire. Ils peuvent être également en bois ou en stratifiées.The lighting device of the invention is capable of being placed in a housing 11 provided inside a double partition 12, 13, and more precisely a double partition consisting of a front panel 12 and d 'a rear panel 13 separated by a space 14. The panels 12 and 13 of the partition are for example plaster or any other similar material. They can also be made of wood or laminate.

La figure 2 montre une vue de face du dispositif de la figure 1. Le bord périphérique 15 du dispositif d'éclairage 1 présente une forme circulaire. Le déflecteur 2 présente ainsi une forme de calotte sphérique tronquée selon un diamètre, ce dernier étant symbolisé par l'axe 16. La paroi en retour portant la référence 5 du dispositif d'éclairage 1 est disposée en position frontale de hauteur telle que son arête supérieure horizontale 17 vienne au niveau de l'axe médian 16.Figure 2 shows a front view of the device of Figure 1. The peripheral edge 15 of the lighting device 1 has a circular shape. The deflector 2 thus has a shape of a spherical cap truncated along a diameter, the latter being symbolized by the axis 16. The back wall bearing the reference 5 of the lighting device 1 is disposed in a frontal position of height such that its edge horizontal upper 17 comes at the level of the median axis 16.

Un joint de ragréage 18, de forme générale circulaire est prévu entre le bord périphérique 15 du dispositif 1, et le bord 19 de l'ouverture prévue dans la cloison frontale 12. Le diamètre de l'ouverture prévue dans la cloison est légèrement supérieur au diamètre du dispositif d'éclairage de l'invention. Le matériau de ragréage peut être constitué de plâtre ou tout autre matériau compatible avec le matériau constituant le dispositif d'éclairage et le matériau constituant la cloison.A leveling joint 18, of generally circular shape, is provided between the peripheral edge 15 of the device 1, and the edge 19 of the opening provided in the front partition 12. The diameter of the opening provided in the partition is slightly greater than the diameter of the inventive lighting device. The patching material may consist of plaster or any other material compatible with the material constituting the lighting device and the material constituting the partition.

Le dispositif 1, constitué du déflecteur 2, de la paroi verticale arrière 3, de la base horizontale 4 et de la paroi frontale 5, est constitué d'un matériau tel que du plâtre ou similaire. Le dispositif d'éclairage peut être réalisé de façon aisée par moulage ou toute autre technique connue, de façon économique et en grande série. Le matériau employé permet une grande variété de formes, de dimensions et d'aspects esthétiques.The device 1, consisting of the deflector 2, the rear vertical wall 3, the horizontal base 4 and the front wall 5, is made of a material such as plaster or the like. The lighting device can be produced easily by molding or any other known technique, economically and in large series. The material used allows a wide variety of shapes, dimensions and aesthetic aspects.

Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 1, le panneau frontal 5 du dispositif d'éclairage 1 fait légèrement saillie par rapport au plan défini par le bord circulaire périphérique du dispositif 1.In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the front panel 5 of the lighting device 1 projects slightly from the plane defined by the peripheral circular edge of the device 1.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent une variante de réalisation dans laquelle le dispositif d'éclairage comporte une déflecteur unique de forme sensiblement en calotte sphérique, légèrement aplatie au niveau du sommet. Le déflecteur comprend ainsi, vu en coupe, une partie 2A arrondie, une partie arrière 2B sensiblement plane et verticale et une partie 2C de forme arrondie. Le bord périphérique 15 circulaire du déflecteur définit un plan disposé sensiblement au niveau de la face avant 12A de la cloison 12 dans laquelle est encastré le dispositif d'éclairage 1. Ce dernier comporte une bande, de préférence métallique et portant la référence 20, disposée selon un diamètre 21 du déflecteur. La bande 20 est sensiblement horizontale et d'une hauteur telle qu'elle puisse abriter les moyens d'éclairage 7 et plus précisément de manière à cacher à la vue, en vue de face, ces derniers. La figure 4 montre une vue de face du dispositif de la figure 3 où les moyens d'éclairage, connus en eux-mêmes, sont représentés en pointillés puisque disposés derrière la bande frontale 20.Figures 3 and 4 show an alternative embodiment in which the lighting device comprises a single deflector of shape substantially in a spherical cap, slightly flattened at the top. The deflector thus comprises, seen in section, a rounded part 2A, a rear part 2B substantially planar and vertical and a part 2C of rounded shape. The circular peripheral edge 15 of the deflector defines a plane disposed substantially at the level of the front face 12A of the partition 12 in which the lighting device 1 is embedded. The latter comprises a strip, preferably metallic and bearing the reference 20, arranged along a diameter 21 of the deflector. The strip 20 is substantially horizontal and of a height such that it can house the lighting means 7 and more precisely so as to hide from view, in front view, the latter. FIG. 4 shows a front view of the device of FIG. 3 where the lighting means, known in themselves, are shown in dotted lines since they are arranged behind the front strip 20.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent une troisième forme de réalisation de l'invention dans laquelle la paroi frontale 5 est plane, verticale et disposée sensiblement dans le plan de la face avant de la cloison 12. Le bord périphérique de l'ouverture 22 du dispositif d'éclairage présente une première partie 15A de forme semi-circulaire et une seconde partie 15B linéaire et disposée sensiblement horizontalement.Figures 5 and 6 show a third embodiment of the invention in which the front wall 5 is planar, vertical and disposed substantially in the plane of the front face of the partition 12. The peripheral edge of the opening 22 of the device lighting presents a first part 15A of semi-circular shape and a second part 15B linear and arranged substantially horizontally.

Dans l'ensemble des figures, l'axe 23 est un axe sensiblement vertical.In all of the figures, the axis 23 is a substantially vertical axis.
