Definitions

  • the present invention relates to components for controlling electrical systems and has been developed with particular attention to the control of lighting systems, particularly for fitted furniture and fittings such as bathroom mirrors, kitchen units and similar products.
  • fitted mirrors but this should not be interpreted as limiting of the scope of the invention
  • a shelf usually arranged horizontally in the region of the upper edge of the mirror.
  • lighting members such as halogen lamps or fluorescent lamps
  • a control component usually configured as a kind of overhead fixture housing an electric socket, possibly concealed by a drop-down door, are mounted, facing downwards, on the lower face of the shelf.
  • the possibility of arranging the transformer for supplying the lamps (whether they are halogen or fluorescent lamps) on the same shelf which also houses the overhead fixture is also known. It is also known to entrust the function of switching on one or more lamps (and possibly also an electric socket) to a presence sensor, for example, an infra-red sensor (of the type currently used in anti-theft systems). This enables one or more of the electrical members of a certain system to be switched on or arranged for switching on only when the sensor in question detects the presence of a person in the vicinity.
  • a presence sensor for example, an infra-red sensor (of the type currently used in anti-theft systems).
  • the present invention which has the characteristics recited in the following claims, is based on the recognition of the unexpected synergic effect resulting from the integration of the above-mentioned functions to a greater or lesser extent in a single integrated component which advantageously can be configured in the form of a kind of overhead fixture which can be mounted recessed or partially recessed in a shelf or similar portion of an item of furniture or a fitting.
  • an integrated component according to the invention is generally indicated 1 and is shown in a possible mounting position on a fitting.
  • the fitting in question is constituted simply by a mirror S having, associated with its upper edge, a horizontal shelf D on which, in addition to the component 1, one or more lighting elements such as halogen lamps L are mounted.
  • the component 1 as a whole is configured as a kind of overhead fixture recessed or partially recessed in the lower face of the shelf D.
  • the component 1 is intended to combine three basic functions, that is:
  • FIG. 3 shows how the body of the component 1 can house, for example, a transformer 6 for supplying the lamps L (which is achieved by means of electrical connecting wires shown schematically solely in Figure 2), possibly with the provision, for example, of a protecting fuse 7.
  • An infra-red detector (or two infra-red detectors in the embodiment shown), indicated 8, can detect the presence of a person in the vicinity of the component 1 so as to control the above-mentioned switching on/off functions by means of respective actuation circuits (of widely known type since they are in current use, for example, in the anti-intrusion and anti-theft field).
  • Figure 3 shows how it is possible, if necessary, to provide the two detectors 8 in opposite corners of the body of the component 1 to ensure better coverage of the region situated in the vicinity of the device 1.
