Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of building fittings, and it relates to a support block for lighting means, of the type intended to be assembled end to end together to form a lighting ramp.
  • Lighting ramps are known which are composed of a set of linear blocks assembled end to end in situ, the so-called blocks supporting fluorescent tubes.
  • each block is roughly composed of a profile housing electrical conductors, to which profile is assembled a plate supporting the other electrical components of the lighting means.
  • the mechanical assembly of the blocks with one another is effected by interlocking by means of a plate, known as a splint, fixed to the end of a profile to be introduced in close contact into the end of a neighboring profile.
  • the electrical connection between the blocks is obtained by joining the conductors of one profile to the respective conductors of the other profile, by means of a connection die for example, or even by means of a connector, the male and female are connected to the ends of the respective conductors.
  • the mechanical assembly between the plate and the profile is carried out for example by clipping, or even by means of a rotary latch supported by the plate which is housed behind a flange of the profile, the connection between the electrical members supported by the plate and the cables housed in the profiles made by means of a second connector whose male and female parts are respectively supported by the plate and by the profile.
  • a reflector is attached to the plate, either definitively prior to the installation of the blocks on a site, or in situ by assembly members of the clip type, or by screwing.
  • a first drawback of these blocks lies in the time necessary to make the electrical connection of the conductors, which induces additional costs for the installation of the light bars on a site; the connection between the conductors, not only being all the more awkward since it takes place on the ceiling after the installation and mechanical assembly of the profiles, but also involving risks of phase reversal, particularly when use is made of connection dice.
  • Another drawback resides in the positioning of the plate on the block, the judged positioning of which frequently induces deformations of the second connector, and therefore an imperfect electrical connection, due to the uncertain comparison of the male parts and female of the second connector between them.
  • a final drawback resides in the installation of the reflector, which induces either the obligation to purchase it when it is integral with the plate, or the risk of an unexpected fall of the reflector when it is brought back in situ by means conventional fixing clips of the "clip" type, ie additional installation time, therefore an additional cost, when the reflector is fixed to the block by screwing onto the plate.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a support block for lighting means of the aforementioned type, the structure of which allows rapid and easy installation of a lighting ramp on a site, and a rigorous and reliable assembly. between the different elements, both mechanical and electrical.
  • the overall inventive step consisted in subjecting the electrical connection means to the mechanical assembly means, both between two neighboring blocks on the one hand, and between the profile and the plate of the same block on the other hand, so such that, first of all, the various electrical connections and corresponding mechanical assemblies are made in a single gesture, and in secondly, these same electrical connections are made in a rigorously certain and reliable manner.
  • the mechanical assembly means both those between two neighboring sections and those between the plate and the section, constitute means for guiding the corresponding electrical connection means with precession of the engagement of the assembly means with respect to the electrical connection means, until locking of the assembly means, locking made only possible insofar as the electrical connections have been correctly made.
  • the fourth means are participants of the sixth means.
  • these comprise a pair of distant centering fingers supported by the plate and designed to be housed in respective drums supported by the profile, the positions of the fingers and of the drums relative to the parts male and female of the second connector being corresponding.
  • the fourth means are means of the bayonet type, each of the fingers, rotatably mounted and maneuverable by means of a bar, supporting a transverse lug provided to cooperate with a notch formed in the corresponding barrel.
  • these consist of means for fixing to the profile and for positioning relative to the splice of the male and female parts of the first connector, so that the fitting and the abutment of the splice of a block in the profile of a neighboring block corresponds to the fitting and abutment between the male and female parts of the first connectors respectively supported by said blocks.
  • the said eighth means comprise, by lugs for fixing the male and female parts of the first connector on the profile, the said fixing lugs being, for one coming from the splint, and for the other reported in the streamlined.
  • the fixing lug of any at least of the male and female parts of the first connector comprises means for guiding the other part of the first connector of a neighboring block.
  • the eighth means further comprise means, called ninth, locking means, constituted for example by a toggle fastener, the implementation of which is induced, after the partial interlocking by an operator of two blocks adjacent to each other , the abutment of the splint of a block inside the profile of a neighboring block and the abutment of the corresponding male and female parts of the first connectors.
  • locking means constituted for example by a toggle fastener, the implementation of which is induced, after the partial interlocking by an operator of two blocks adjacent to each other , the abutment of the splint of a block inside the profile of a neighboring block and the abutment of the corresponding male and female parts of the first connectors.
  • the reflector comprises slots for the passage of the operating bars of the rotary fingers so that they form latches, the so-called sixth means comprising the said bayonet means participating in the fourth means, the part radial of the notch formed in the barrel extending to extend over a sector of the order of 180 °, so that the finger is at three successive positions, including a first for insertion into the bayonet notch formed in the barrel, including a second for locking the plate, and including a third for locking the reflector, in which in third position the bar is oriented transversely to the light provided in the reflector to prevent the withdrawal of the latter.
  • a linear block participating in a lighting ramp mainly consists of a profile 2 and 3 housing a set 4 and 6 of electrical conductors and supporting a plate 8 (visible in fig. 4 to 6) which supports electrical components, such as choke, ballast and fluorescent tube (not shown in the figures). It will be understood that to better show the details of the invention, only sections of blocks are shown in the figures, and that those shown in fig. 1 to 3 are illustrated upside down.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 which illustrate a first step aimed at installing a light bar made up of a plurality of blocks of the invention on a site
  • the sections 2 and 3 of two neighboring blocks are shown at the end with end (fig.1) then assembled (fig.2) by interlocking via a splice 10 fixed to the end of one of them (2) and introduced by the operator in relatively close contact inside the end of the profile 3 of a neighboring block.
  • the sets of electrical conductors 4 and 6 are respectively equipped with the male 12 and female 14 parts with a first connector for their electrical connection.
  • the male part 12 of the connector is fixed on lugs 16 coming from the splint 10, while the female part 14 is fixed on the profile of the neighboring block by means of an attached fixing lug 18.
  • Fig. 2 the two sections 2 and 3 are partially assembled with each other by the operator until a hooking member 20 formed in one of the sections is released, cooperating hooking member with a toggle fastener 22 fixed on the other profile 3.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 the presence of additional guide members 24, provided on the fixing lug 18 attached to the profile 2, to possibly correct the orientation of the male part 12 of the connector, so that that the latter 12 is rigorously presented in the axis of the other part 14 of the first connector.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 which illustrate a second step aimed at installing a light bar composed of a plurality of blocks of the invention on a site
  • the plate 8 is mechanically assembled to the profile 2 by means of centering fingers 26 remote which it supports, said fingers 26 cooperating with barrels 28 supported by the profile 2 (a single finger 26 and barrel 28 being shown in the figures).
  • the fingers 26 and the barrels 28 are jointly organized as bayonet locking means, the fingers 26 being rotatably mounted on the plate 8 and being provided with an operating bar 30, and each comprising a transverse lug 32 intended to cooperate with a notch 34 formed in the corresponding barrel 28.
  • the electrical connection between the plate 8 and the profile 2 is made by means of a second connector, the male 36 and female 38 parts of which are fixed to the plate 8 and to the profile 2 respectively. Thanks to the correspondence between the remote separating the fingers 26 and the barrels 28 of the corresponding parts 36 and 38 of the second connector, the electrical junction between the plate 8 and the profile 2 follows from their assembly and occurs simultaneously at the end of it, and in particular follows from the centering of the plate 8 on the profile 2 without which the said electrical junction is centered and the locking of the plate 8 cannot take place.
  • an accessory reflector 40 can be fitted under the plate 8. This includes openings 42 for passing bars 30 for operating the centering fingers 26.
  • the male parts 12, 36 and female 14, 38 of the connectors can be indifferently fixed on one or the other of the ends of the sections 2 and 3 for the first connector, and on one or the other of the profile 2 and the plate 8 for the second connector.
