Definitions

  • the invention relates to a luminaire of the kind that may be built in and comprises a box, a support for components fixed within the box and a cover shade coupled to the mouth of the box, the box being the element that is built in such that only the cover shade as such remains in full view.
  • the object of the invention is to obtain a luminaire in which fixing between the support for the components and the built-in box is such that the position of the support may be adjusted within the box in order to thereby offset possible misalignments arising upon the built-in box being fitted.
  • the support is normally screwed to the box and as a result the position of the support relative to the box is always fixed.
  • the luminaire disclosed herein is of the built-in kind comprising the three elements aforesaid, to wit a built-in box, a support for components fixable within the box and a frontal cover shade, and is particular in that the components support is fixed to or mounted on the box on the basis of elements that enable the positioning of the very components support relative to the box to be adjusted, to thereby offset possible misalignments arising upon the built-in box being fitted, which means that the components support will take up the most suitable relative position with respect to the box in order that no misalignments and clearances are visible, upon the shade being fitted, between the shade and the wall.
  • the fixing or mounting means between the components support and the box actually consist of a pair of lugs releasably fixed on the outer side surface of the support, which lugs will work as if they were respective racks, for they are provided with saw-like ridges crosswise that play in an equal number of housings purposely made on the inner side surface of the built-in box, each housing being defined between two projections or extensions on the inner wall of the box and a flange projecting from the base of the box, which flange lies between such two extensions.
  • the flanges projecting from the base of the box have a spear-shaped rib crosswise on their inner face, situated close to their free edge, in order that upon the components support lugs penetrating the respective receiving housings provided between the extensions or projections on the inner wall of the box and the flanges proper, a rack-like effect comes about which allows an accurate positioning, causing each of the lugs to penetrate to a greater or lesser extent in their housing, thereby allowing existing misalignments upon the built-in box being fitted to be offset.
  • the resilience of the flanges allows the components support lugs to be released using a suitable implement in order to take the support off the box to which it is fixed by means of the lock established between the lugs and the flange.
  • Another way of undoing the lock is to take off the lugs as such, for the latter are fixed to respective wings provided on the side surface of the actual components support.
  • each flange has their top edges bevelled, the top edge of the respective flange being likewise bevelled, for ease of both guidance and penetration of the lug into its respective housing.
  • Figure 1.- Is a representation showing a perspective exploded view of the three parts or elements that make up the built-in luminaire subject of the invention.
  • Figure 2.- Is a quarter-sectional side elevation view of the mounted luminaire assembly shown in the previous figure.
  • the luminaire of the invention is of the kind of luminaire made up of three interconnectable elements, one of which defines a box as a built-in element proper, which is generally designated (1), another being a support (2) for the respective components, which support (2) will be duly fixed and mounted within the box (1), whereas the third element is a frontal cover shade (3) that is coupled to the mouth of the actual box (1).
  • the box (1) may be circular in shape, as shown in the figures, or polygonal, with recessed areas (4) on its side surface that may be severed at will by pressing at any time to define openings for the passage of leads to supply the electric components fixed to and mounted on the support (2), the latter being therefore purposely provided with respective means for such components to be mounted and fixed.
  • the frontal cover shade (3) will have suitable means to be coupled to the mouth of the built-in box (1) and/or on the support (2), which coupling elements may be bayonet type or other conventional projections.
  • the novelty of the invention lies in the means for mounting and fixing the support (2) within the box (1), to enable the relative position of such support (2) to be adjusted with respect to the box (1), and therefore the shade (3), thereby to offset possible misalignments arising upon the built-in box (1) being fitted.
  • These mounting and fixing means consist of a pair of lugs (5) that are releasably fixed onto the outer side surface of the actual components support (2), each of such lugs (5) comprising a rectangular body the top end of which leads into a wing (6) between which and the inner surface of the lug (5) there is a projection (7) with an axial through bore (7), through which the said lug (5) is fixed with a screw (9) to a wing (10) projecting from the side surface of the actual support (2), thereby for the lugs (5) to be easily taken off, for the screw (9) fixing each of them faces the top or front upon the support being mounted within the built-in box (1).
  • the lugs (5) are provided on their inner face with saw-like ridges (11) whose function shall be described hereinafter.
  • the built-in box (1) is provided at two diametrically facing areas of its inner surface with pairs of projections or extensions (12) running in the direction of respective generating lines, between which a flange (13) is situated which projects from the very bottom of the box (1), a housing being defined between the former extensions or projections (12) and the actual flange (13) for each lug (5), upon the support (2) being mounted within the box (1).
  • Each flange (13) is provided close to its free upper edge with a spear-shaped rib (14) to be locked in any of the projections making up the transverse racking (11) of the lugs.
  • each of the lugs (5) penetrate into their respective housing to a greater or lesser extent, the misalignments resulting upon the built-in box (1) being fitted may be offset, for the components support (2) will take up the most suitable relative position with respect to the box (1) in order that no misalignments or clearances are observed, upon the shade (3) being mounted, between the latter and the actual wall.
  • the ends of the projections or extensions (12) of the box (1) have an inclined plane (15) defining, together with the bevelled end (16) of the flanges (13) and even the bevelled edge or end of the lugs (5), means for ease of guidance and penetration of such lugs (5) into their respective housings.
