Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de suspension de luminaire d'intérieur comprenant au moins un lien de suspension à fixer en un point haut et un cache, dit cache piton, pour recouvrir et cacher le point de fixation, dispositif fait de deux demi coquilles, munies de moyens d'accrochage pour s'accrocher l'une sur l'autre, et comportant au moins un évidemment situé de telle façon que lorsque les deux demi coquilles sont assemblées, deux évidements de deux demi coquilles constituent ensemble une ouverture au travers de laquelle le lien peut passer.The present invention relates to a luminaire suspension device interior comprising at least one suspension link to be fixed at a high point and a cover, called piton cover, to cover and hide the fixing point, device made of two half shells, provided with hooking means for hanging on one another, and comprising at least one obviously located in such a way that when the two half shells are assembled, two recesses of two half shells constitute together an opening through which the link can pass.

Elle concerne en outre un luminaire.It also relates to a luminaire.

Une suspension de luminaire selon le préambule ci-dessus est connue du document WO 96/21123 (KJERRUMGAARD). Selon ce document, le luminaire comprend un cache piton en deux moitiés, avec un système de clipsage des moitiés l'une sur l'autre, cache qui peut être placé autour du cordon d'alimentation après que ce dernier ait été fixé à une surface, par exemple un plafond.A luminaire suspension according to the preamble above is known from document WO 96/21123 (KJERRUMGAARD). According to this document, the luminaire includes a piton cover in two halves, with a system for clipping the halves one on the other, a cover that can be placed around the power cord after the latter has been attached to a surface, such as a ceiling.

Lorsque le luminaire n'est pas simplement suspendu par son cordon, l'art connu s'applique plus difficilement.When the luminaire is not simply suspended by its cord, the known art more difficult to apply.

Pour résoudre ce problème, dans un dispositif comprenant au moins deux liens de suspension côte à côte associés à un même cache, les deux évidements assemblés constituent deux ouvertures propres à entourer chacune un des deux liens.To solve this problem, in a device comprising at least two links of suspension side by side associated with the same cover, the two recesses assembled constitute two openings suitable for each surrounding one of the two links.

Des modes particuliers de réalisation apparaissent dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 7.Particular embodiments appear in the claims dependent 2 to 7.

Un luminaire comprend avantageusement un dispositif de suspension selon l'invention.A luminaire advantageously comprises a suspension device according to the invention.

Ces aspects de l'invention ainsi que d'autres aspects plus détaillés apparaítront plus clairement grâce à la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation constituant un exemple non limitatif.These aspects of the invention as well as other more detailed aspects will appear more clearly thanks to the following description of an embodiment constituting a nonlimiting example.

La figure 1 représente en perspective, vu de dessus, un luminaire suspendu.Figure 1 shows in perspective, seen from above, a suspended luminaire.

La figure 2 représente en perspective un étrier de fixation pour un tel luminaire.Figure 2 shows in perspective a mounting bracket for such a luminaire.

La figure 3 représente en perspective un cache pour recouvrir et cacher l'étrier de fixation.Figure 3 shows in perspective a cover to cover and hide the stirrup of fixation.

Le luminaire de la figure 1 est un luminaire d'intérieur par exemple équipé de tubes fluorescents. Il comprend un corps 10 constituant le luminaire proprement dit, et est suspendu par quatre liens 5A, 6A, 5B, 6B, par exemple des câbles métalliques, à fixer solidement en un point haut, par exemple à un plafond. Les deux liens de suspension 5A et 6A sont situés côte à côte avec un entraxe E et associés à un même cache (2030) ; il en est de même pour les deux liens 5B et 6B, à l'autre extrémité du luminaire. Deux étriers 1A et 1B permettent une fixation au plafond. Des caches pitons 2030 et 3020 sont prévus pour recouvrir et cacher les étriers de fixation.The luminaire in FIG. 1 is an interior luminaire, for example equipped with fluorescent tubes. It comprises a body 10 constituting the luminaire itself, and is suspended by four links 5A, 6A, 5B, 6B, for example metallic cables, to securely fasten at a high point, for example to a ceiling. The two links of suspension 5A and 6A are located side by side with a center distance E and associated with the same cache (2030); the same is true for the two links 5B and 6B, at the other end of the lamp. Two brackets 1A and 1B allow attachment to the ceiling. Piton covers 2030 and 3020 are provided to cover and hide the fixing brackets.

L'étrier 1 de la figure 2, correspondant aux étriers 1A et 1B de la figure 1, est faite d'une tôle pliée et comprend deux orifices 2 et 3 dans une partie horizontale supérieure, pour le passage de vis de fixation. Dans une partie horizontale inférieure sont ménagés une première série de quatre trous 4 à 7 et une seconde série de quatre trous 8 à 11 (les références 5, 6, 9, 10 sont omises sur la figure pour simplifier), qui offrent la possibilité de placer un lien dans l'un des trous au choix, les différentes positions possibles étant indiquées par huit lignes en trait mixte dont deux sont référencées 12 et 13. Ceci procure sept possibilités d'entraxe E entre les deux liens 5A-6A ou 5B-6B, ce qui permet d'utiliser le même étrier pour n'importe quel luminaire. Bien entendu, on peut prévoir plus ou moins de trous. L'étrier sert aussi de support à un bornier non représenté.The stirrup 1 of FIG. 2, corresponding to the stirrups 1A and 1B of FIG. 1, is made of a folded sheet and includes two holes 2 and 3 in a horizontal part upper, for the passage of fixing screws. In a lower horizontal part a first series of four holes 4 to 7 and a second series of four are provided holes 8 to 11 (references 5, 6, 9, 10 are omitted from the figure for simplicity), which offer the possibility of placing a link in one of the holes of your choice, the different possible positions being indicated by eight dashed lines, two of which are referenced 12 and 13. This provides seven possibilities of center distance E between the two links 5A-6A or 5B-6B, which allows the same bracket to be used for any luminaire. Well Of course, we can provide more or less holes. The bracket also serves as a support for a terminal block not shown.

Le cache de la figure 3, pour recouvrir et cacher les étriers de fixation, est fait de deux demi coquilles 20 et 30 identiques l'une à l'autre, munies de moyens d'accrochage 21, 22, 31, 32 pour s'accrocher l'une sur l'autre. Elles sont ici représentées séparées, la demi coquille 20 étant suggérée par un dessin en tirets de façon à laisser voir entièrement l'autre demi coquille. Elles peuvent être assemblées en les amenant l'une contre l'autre comme indiqué par les lignes en pointillé A. Des moyens d'accrochage mâles 31, 32 et femelles 22, 21 sont disposés dans une même demi coquille, symétriquement par rapport à un plan de symétrie transversal représenté en perspective avec la référence 200. Ainsi lorsque les deux demi coquilles sont assemblées, le moyen d'accrochage mâle 31 de la demi coquille 30 vient en prise avec le moyen d'accrochage femelle 121 de la demi coquille 20 et le tout forme une boíte ouverte sur une seule face, vers le haut. Des moyens d'accrochage hermaphrodites connus, non représentés, pourraient aussi être utilisés.The cover of figure 3, to cover and hide the fixing brackets, is made of two half shells 20 and 30 identical to each other, provided with hooking means 21, 22, 31, 32 to hang on one another. They are shown here separate, the half shell 20 being suggested by a dashed drawing so as to reveal the entire other half shell. They can be assembled by bringing them one against the other as indicated by the dotted lines A. Hanging means males 31, 32 and females 22, 21 are arranged in the same half-shell, symmetrically with respect to a transverse plane of symmetry represented in perspective with reference 200. So when the two half shells are assembled, the male attachment means 31 of the half-shell 30 engages with the female attachment means 121 of the half-shell 20 and the whole forms a box open on one side, upwards. Hermaphroditic hanging means known, not shown, could also be used.

Le cache peut avoir toute forme désirée du point de vue esthétique. Par exemple celui de la figure 1 a ses extrémités arrondies alors que celui de la figure 3 a ses extrémités formant un dièdre. Les deux demi coquilles 20 et 30 pourraient aussi, dans certains cas, ne pas être identiques l'une à l'autre.The cover can have any shape desired from an aesthetic point of view. for example that of Figure 1 has its rounded ends while that of Figure 3 has its ends forming a dihedral. The two half shells 20 and 30 could also, in in some cases, not be identical to each other.

La demi coquille 30 comporte deux évidements 23, 33, et la demi coquille 20 comporte deux évidements 123, 133, situés de telle façon que lorsque les deux demi coquilles sont assemblées, deux évidements 23/123 ou 33/133 constituent ensemble une ouverture allongée au travers de laquelle un lien peut passer quelle que soit sa position, autrement dit quel que soit le trou utilisé dans l'étrier 1. Ainsi le même cache peut servir pour différents luminaires.The half-shell 30 has two recesses 23, 33, and the half-shell 20 has two recesses 123, 133, located so that when the two half shells are assembled, two recesses 23/123 or 33/133 together constitute an elongated opening through which a link can pass whatever its position, in other words whatever the hole used in the bracket 1. So the same cover can be used for different luminaires.

Les évidements peuvent aussi constituer des ouvertures multiples, comme indiqué en 230, de façon à offrir chacun plusieurs positions possibles pour le lien qui y passe.The recesses can also constitute multiple openings, such as indicated in 230, so as to each offer several possible positions for the link which past.
