Description
La présente invention concerne une antenne destinée à un émetteur et/ou récepteur de radiocommunication, antenne ayant l'apparence d'une tige et comprenant une source de lumière, un conduit de lumière, et une partie diffusant la lumière.The present invention relates to an antenna intended for a transmitter and / or radio receiver, antenna having the appearance of a rod and comprising a light source, a light pipe, and a part diffusing the light.
Elle concerne également un émetteur et/ou récepteur de radiocommunication destiné à être équipé d'une antenne.It also relates to a transmitter and / or receiver of radio communication intended to be equipped with an antenna.
Une antenne selon le préambule ci-dessus est connue du document EP 98 200 315.4. Selon ce document, une antenne en forme de tige est munie d'une source de lumière, et comprend un conduit de lumière et une partie diffusant la lumière, la source de lumière étant située à l'extérieur de l'antenne.An antenna according to the preamble above is known from the document EP 98 200 315.4. According to this document, a rod-shaped antenna is provided with a light source, and comprises a light pipe and a light diffusing part, the light source being located outside of the antenna.
Un objet de l'invention est de faciliter le montage de l'antenne, notamment lorsque cette dernière est vendue comme accessoire à monter par l'utilisateur.An object of the invention is to facilitate the mounting of the antenna, especially when the latter is sold as a fitting accessory by the user.
A cet effet, la source de lumière est une diode électroluminescente encapsulée dans un boítier et munie de connexions, ce boítier est fixé à l'antenne en face du conduit de lumière, et les connexions de la diode sont disposées de façon à permettre, lorsque l'antenne est mise en place dans le récepteur, un contact électrique avec des conducteurs électriques du récepteur.For this purpose, the light source is a light emitting diode encapsulated in a box and provided with connections, this box is fixed to the antenna in front of the light pipe, and the diode connections are arranged so as to allow, when the antenna is placed in the receiver, electrical contact with electrical conductors of the receiver.
Un récepteur et/ou émetteur de radiocommunication selon l'invention comprend d'une part des contacts de signal destinés à être mis en contact avec des éléments de réception de signal de l'antenne, et d'autre part des contacts d'éclairage destinés à être mis en contact avec les contacts de la diode, lorsque l'antenne est mise en place dans le récepteur.A radiocommunication receiver and / or transmitter according to the invention comprises on the one hand signal contacts intended to be brought into contact with antenna signal receiving elements, and secondly lighting contacts intended to be brought into contact with the contacts of the diode, when the antenna is placed in the receiver.
Un appareil équipé d'une antenne ordinaire non lumineuse peut donc être muni, pour un coût marginal très faible, de contacts pour une antenne lumineuse, permettant l'installation d'une telle antenne en option et par l'utilisateur lui-même.A device equipped with an ordinary non-luminous antenna can therefore be provided, for a very low marginal cost, with contacts for an antenna luminous, allowing the installation of such an optional antenna and by the user himself.

les revendications dépendantes 2 à 4.Particular embodiments of the invention appear in
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.
L'antenne représentée sur la figure 1 a l'apparence d'une tige et
comprend une source de lumière 9, et un conduit de lumière 3. Ce conduit
est par exemple un tube plein en matière plastique transparente, par
exemple en méthacrylate.The antenna shown in Figure 1 has the appearance of a rod and
comprises a
L'extrémité supérieure du conduit 3 est placée en regard d'une tête
constituée ici d'un ensemble comprenant un cabochon 7 et un manchon 1,
tous deux en matériau translucide ou opalescent, qui renvoient vers
l'extérieur la lumière transmise par le conduit. A l'intérieur du manchon 1,
les éléments de réception de signal sont constitués par une partie
électrique hélicoïdale formée d'un ressort métallique 6, qui entoure le
conduit de lumière. Une gaine 2, réalisée en matériau électriquement
conducteur, est reliée à la partie électrique 6 de l'antenne et assure une
liaison électrique avec un circuit d'un récepteur de radiocommunication, par
exemple un téléphone mobile. Cette gaine comprend une partie 20 filetée
qui permet la fixation par vissage de l'antenne dans le téléphone.The upper end of the
La source de lumière est une diode électroluminescente encapsulée
dans un boítier 9. Ce boítier 9 est placé en face du conduit de lumière, bien
entendu avec une surface émettrice de lumière tournée vers le conduit. Il
est fixé à une broche support 10, elle même fixée à l'antenne au moyen
d'un corps 8 en forme de tube qui entoure et protège le conduit de lumière
et maintient la broche 10. Des bagues de connexion 5A, 5B entourent
complètement la broche 10 et sont reliés chacun à une des électrodes de la
diode. Elles permettent, lorsque l'antenne est mise en place par vissage
dans le récepteur, un contact électrique avec des conducteurs électriques
du récepteur quelle que soit la position en rotation du tube 8.The light source is an encapsulated light emitting diode
in a
L'élément qui comprend la diode et ses contacts est représenté plus
en détail par les figures 2 et 3. La diode 9, par exemple dans un boítier
normalisé de type SOD53F, comporte deux connexions 11 et 12, qui sont
formées avec une partie cintrée à leur extrémité, à gauche sur les figures.
Le corps 10 comprend deux rainures longitudinales pour recevoir les
connexions 11 et 12. Les deux bagues 5A et 5B sont en contact électrique
respectivement avec la partie cintrée de la connexion 11 et de la connexion
12.The element which includes the diode and its contacts is shown more
in detail in Figures 2 and 3. The
L'émetteur récepteur de radiocommunication représenté à la figure 4,
ici un téléphone mobile, comprend une antenne amovible 13, avec une
extrémité 17 externe munie de moyens pour émettre de la lumière et
d'éléments de réception de signal munis d'une partie conductrice de signal
radio 2. A l'autre extrémité de l'antenne est montée une diode
électroluminescente 9 dont les connexions électriques sont reliées à des
bagues de connexion 5A, 5B. Le téléphone comprend un circuit électrique
réalisé sur un circuit imprimé 30 auquel sont reliés, d'une part, un contact
de signal 14, ici une bague percée d'un trou fileté pour y visser la partie 20
(figure 1) de l'antenne, c'est-à-dire la partie reliée aux éléments de
réception de signal et, d'autre part, des contacts d'éclairage 15, 16 qui
sont mis en contact avec les contacts 5A, 5B de la diode lorsque, comme
c'est le cas ici, l'antenne est mise en place dans le récepteur.The radiocommunication transceiver shown in Figure 4,
here a mobile phone, includes a
