Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a luminaire for at least an elongated lighting lamp, comprising a profile of a determined length at least equal to that of the lamp, fitted with electrical wire wiring to supply electrically the lamp from a power line external, supports at each end intended to support the lamp and to ensure an electrical connection to each of the ends of the lamp, a terminal block intended to ensure the electrical connection between the wiring internal and an external power line, and several detachable holes or lids in different places in the length of the profile including at its end, intended each to offer, when removed, an inlet in the profile for the external supply line.
  • Such a luminaire is commercially available where it is usually called a "strip", for example the "BASIC” model can be cited under the brand MAZDA.
  • the incoming cable the external power line
  • the installer introduces this cable through an opening at the end, and passes it to inside the strip until you reach the terminal block.
  • the interior of the strip includes elements which reach operating temperatures of the order of 110 ° to 130 °. The problem which then arises is that the cable thus introduced into the strip is not generally of a "high temperature” type , despite the indications possibly given for this purpose by labels affixed in the strip, which risks d 'to be dangerous.
  • the profile is provided with at least two means for fixing the connection terminal block, each of a type making this block removable, which therefore makes it easy to choose the place of the terminal block, and each of the electrical wires of the internal wiring. which are connected to the connection terminal block has a sufficient length and an adequate arrangement to be able to join this block in each of its positions.
  • the terminal block can be placed near the inlet opening of the external cable, which avoids passing the latter through the interior of the strip, near hot elements.
  • one of the terminal block fixing means is located near the center of the profile, and the other near one of the ends of the profile. So we can face the two most common situations.
  • a single end position is sufficient since it is always possible to orient the entire strip in the desired direction to present the appropriate end on the cable arrival side.
  • an orifice or a detachable cover is provided near each of said positions.
  • FIG. 1A schematically represents, seen from above with the tube below, a strip for fluorescent tube.
  • FIG. 1B represents in perspective and on a larger scale a part of the strip to illustrate the manner in which the position of the terminal block can be changed.
  • the strip of Figure 1A has a profile 7 of a length at least equal to that of the lamp, provided with electrical wire wiring 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 for electrically supplying the lamp.
  • Supports 4 and 5 at each end of the profile are intended to support the lamp and to provide an electrical connection to each of the ends of the lamp.
  • the latter is a fluorescent tube with preheating filaments with two pins at each of its ends. It is not shown in its place between the supports 4 and 5 so as not to hide other elements of the figure.
  • a connection terminal block 16 is intended to provide the electrical connection between the internal wiring and an external supply line 18.
  • the profile 7 Several entry points for the external supply line 18 are provided in the profile 7, placed in different locations in the length of the profile. During manufacture, they are produced in the form of detachable lids, by means of a dotted cut out of the sheet metal of the profile, as indicated in 3. During installation, a lidding is torn off so as to provide an orifice as indicated in 9.
  • the profile is provided with at least two means of fixing the terminal block to the locations marked by 16 and 17. These means are both of a type making the block removable, which therefore makes it possible to easily choose the place of the terminal block at 16 or 17. It may for example be a slot in which engages ("clips") a lug carried by the terminal block, or any other known means making the terminal block removable, clip, screw, etc.
  • the terminal block is in position 16.
  • the wire 13 connects a first terminal of the terminal block 16 to a first terminal of a balancing capacitor 2.
  • the wire 6 connects this same terminal to a first terminal of a ballast 1.
  • the second ballast terminal is connected to a first terminal of the tube support 5.
  • the second terminal of this support 5 is connected by a wire 11 to a first terminal of a "choke" 8, the second terminal of which is connected by a wire 14 to a first terminal of the tube support 4.
  • the second terminal of this support is connected by a wire 15 to the second terminal of the capacitor 2, and by a wire 12 to the second terminal of the terminal block 16.
  • the wires 6, 12, 13 pass near the ballast 1 and therefore are brought to high temperature.
  • the wires connected to the terminal block are the wires 12 and 13.
  • the node (in the electric sense of the term) made up of wires 13 and 6 should normally have (in order to use less wire) be made of a wire connecting terminal block 16 to ballast 1 (which is more close to it than the capacitor 2), and another wire connecting the ballast to the capacitor. Then the wire connecting the terminal block 16 to the ballast 1 would be too short to reach position 17, unless a longer wire is deliberately provided which would then be folded over to join the terminal block in position 16.
  • a cover (not shown) covers the profile 7 at the end of installation, to hide the various elements 1, 2, 8, 16.
