Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices making it possible to share the same enclosed space such as, for example, a restaurant room, in a part reserved for smokers, which we will call smoking space, and a part reserved for non-smokers, which we will call non-smoking space. -smoking.
  • a device for partitioning a smoking space suitable for separating, in the same enclosed space, a smoking space, from a non-smoking space, comprising, enclosed in a hollow panel, of lower height. at the ceiling height of said enclosed space, a ventilation means intervening between at least one suction mouth and a blowing mouth which extends all along the upper side of said panel, so as to discharge the air upwards sucked; this is the case, for example, of the partitioning device described in document EP-A-582 010.
  • a ventilation means intervening between at least one suction mouth and a blowing mouth which extends all along the upper side of said panel, so as to discharge the air upwards sucked; this is the case, for example, of the partitioning device described in document EP-A-582 010.
  • the present invention proposes in particular to solve, in a simple manner, the problem which has just been exposed.
  • a device for partitioning a smoking area adapted to separate, in the same enclosed space, a smoking space of a non-smoking space, comprising, enclosed in a hollow panel, of height less than the ceiling height of said enclosed space, a ventilation means intervening between at least one suction mouth and one blowing which extends all along the upper side of said panel, so as to discharge the aspirated air upwards, characterized in that the ventilation means is arranged between partitions delimiting, in the panel, a chimney, said partitions being extended by inclined partitions, so as to delimit a funnel-shaped compartment, adapted to the distribution of the discharged air over the entire length of the panel.
  • Such a panel which is advantageously mobile, is easy to install, since its height can be relatively small. In addition, it may also be of short length. Indeed several panels of this kind can be placed end to end to partition a smoking area, for example in the manner of the panels of a screen. Individually, these panels can therefore be small.
  • the mobility of a panel according to the invention makes it possible to modify with great ease the arrangement of an enclosed space. For example, it is possible to install such a panel between two tables adjacent to a restaurant, when one is occupied by smokers, and to remove it, when the users of the two tables are non-smokers.
  • suction outlets are provided just below the inclined partitions delimiting the funnel-shaped compartment.
  • deflector panels are installed in the funnel-shaped compartment; partitions arranged in a baffle intervene below each suction mouth.
  • said blowing mouth comprises confinement means adapted to limit its width, so as to direct the flow of discharged air; said means for confining the blowing mouth orient the discharged air vertically; as a variant, said means for confining the blowing mouth orient the discharged air with a certain inclination in the direction of the smoking space.
  • a suction mouth is formed on a large side wall of the panel, facing the smoking area, a filtering means acting between said suction mouth and the ventilation means.
  • the partitioning device according to the present invention can be used in combination with a conventional air recycling device, operating in the smoking area.
  • the ventilation means is installed near the center of gravity of the panel.
  • said chimney delimited by said partitions is vertical.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a partition panel 1, according to the invention, adapted to be interposed, in an enclosed space, between a smoking area and a non-smoking area.
  • This hollow panel 1 contains a ventilation means 10 adapted to create an air circulation between suction outlets 3 and a blowing outlet 6.
  • the movable panel 1 is constituted, externally, by two large parallel side walls 2 and 22, which extend between two uprights 4 resting on the ground on feet 5.
  • the walls 2 and 22 are advantageously made of laminate, the inner faces of these walls, like those of the uprights 4, being advantageously lined with polyurethane foam.
  • transverse partitions adapted to divide the interior space of the panel into different compartments.
  • compartment 8 which, isolated from the rest of the interior of the panel by a sealed horizontal partition, is accessible from the outside.
  • This compartment can be used, for example, for storing an electrical supply wire of the ventilation means 10.
  • This ventilation means can advantageously be a fan with an electric motor.
  • an electric motor By way of example, satisfactory results have been obtained with a 25 watt electric motor fan.
  • a damping device will advantageously be interposed between said ventilation means and the walls 2 and 22 which support it. It will be, for example, a rubber mattress.
  • the partitions 12, vertical, are extended by partitions 15, which, as can be seen in FIG. 2, are inclined so that their respective ends both join the upper corners of the panel.
  • partitions 15 thus delimit a compartment 16 in the form of a funnel, the bottom of which is occupied by the fan 10, and which opens onto the upper side of the panel 1.
  • this compartment 16 can be installed deflector panels 14, shown in phantom in Figure 2, to allow better distribution of air in this compartment.
  • This blowing mouth 6 comprises confinement means adapted to limit its width.
  • two elongated plates 17 and 18 carried respectively by the large side walls 2 and 22.
  • the plate 17 extends horizontally, while the plate 18 extends with a certain upward inclination, the end of the plate 18 being substantially perpendicular to that of the plate 17.
  • the plates 17 and 18 are adapted to confine the air flow from the blowing mouth so as to orient, as far as possible this flow, to form, above the panel 1, a curtain of low air thickness.
  • this curtain will be inclined towards the wall 2, in a direction substantially parallel to the plate 18.
  • the large side wall 2 is turned towards the smoking area, so that the air blown through the mouth 6 is directed towards this smoking area.
  • Two windows 3, forming suction outlets, are formed on the large side wall 2, near, respectively, one and the other uprights 4. As can be seen in FIG. 2, these outlets 3 intervene in a upper part of the panel 1, just below the partitions 15 delimiting the funnel compartment 16.
  • the mouths 3 are turned towards the smoking area, and a filtering means intervenes between each mouth 3 and the fan 10.
  • the filtering means for example carbon filters, are directly installed on the windows 3 forming suction vents.
  • partitions 13, arranged in a baffle operate below each suction mouth 3.
  • partitions 13 constitutes a very effective means of reducing the noise generated by the ventilation means 10 and by the movement of air inside the device.
  • the internal partitions 12, 13, 14 and 15, suitable for guiding the air from the suction outlets 3 to the blowing mouth 6, are made, for example, of polyurethane foam.
  • the panel 1 is interposed between this smoking area and a non-smoking area which should be protected from the polluted air of the former.
  • FIG. 2 schematically represents the air circulation which the fan 10 causes in this panel.
  • the polluted air in the smoking area is sucked in through the vents 3.
  • these mouths 3 are advantageously at the height of the head of a medium-sized user, when the latter is in a position which is usual in the place served.
  • the position of the users is usually the sitting position.
  • the suction outlets 3 will therefore advantageously be at a height corresponding to the position of the head of a tall user medium, sitting.
  • the fan 10 discharges the air into the funnel compartment 16, up to the mouth 6, through which this air is blown upwards, with a certain inclination towards the smoking compartment.
  • the air curtain blown by the mouth 6 prevents the highly polluted air cloud, which develops in the upper part of the smoking compartment, from passing over the panel 1 and gaining the non-smoking space. What is more, due to the inclination of this air curtain towards the smoking area, this highly polluted air cloud is pushed away from the panel, further reducing the risk of pollution of the non-smoking area .
  • the panel 1 is of such height that its upper side extends above the users of the enclosed space, so that the latter are not likely to be inconvenienced by the air blown through the mouth 6.
  • a panel 1.5m high is well suited for the separation, in a restaurant, of a smoking table and a non-smoking table.
  • the air blown through the mouth 6 can be oriented vertically, in particular to avoid creating an excessive concentration of polluted air in the smoking area.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 Such vertical air propulsion is illustrated by the alternative embodiments of the present invention, shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the blowing mouth 36 of a panel 31 comprises two elongated plates which extend side by side, horizontally, with, between them, a free space for small width through which air is blown.
  • the blowing mouth 46 of a panel 41 comprises two elongated plates, both inclined upward symmetrically, with, between their respective ends, a free space of small width through which the air is breath.
  • the start-up of the ventilation means 10 can be manual or automatic. When it is manual, one (or more) switch (s) placed on the device is (or are) made available to users; alternatively, a remote control can facilitate this operation. When the start-up is automatic, it is carried out under the control of a smoke detector disposed on or near the device.
