Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a device for orienting lights that basically comprises a tiltable head where a main support, also tiltable, is in turn coupled.
  • the assembly of a socket provided with a lamp is coupled to the main support.
  • the tiltable head is jointedly coupled to a fixed frame, inside of which the head is coupled together with the main support and the socket with the lamp.
  • the light can be oriented in order to light up an ample spatial field.
  • the frame will be mainly fastened to the ceiling and it can also be fastened to other surfaces, such as walls.
  • the device for orienting lights that constitutes the object of the invention is defined by a tiltable head coupled jointedly, with the interposition of some small angular supports, on two opposite walls of a fixed frame that is hanging or integral to a ceiling by means of some suitable means.
  • Said frame may be fastened to other surfaces such as a vertical wall.
  • Said support is connected to the head, also jointedly, by two opposite points arranged in the same alignment.
  • the hinge axis of the tiltable support and the hinge axis of the head are arranged in perpendicular directions. In this way, the light can be oriented as desired covering an ample spatial field.
  • the frame has a hollow prismatic shape, through whose mouth the luminance emitted by the light is projected outward.
  • the orientation thereof can be varied rapidly and simply.
  • a perimetric frame has been arranged on the mouth of the frame.
  • the socket includes a characteristic ring that facilitates the fastening of the socket assembly on the main support.
  • Figure 1 represents an exploded perspective view of the device for orienting lights, object of the invention.
  • Figure 2 represents another exploded perspective view of several groups of pieces belonging to the assembly of the device of the invention.
  • Figure 3 represents a perspective view of the assembly of the device of the invention.
  • the device for orienting lights is comprised of a tiltable head (1) that comprises a cross-shaped base (2) with two longer arms and two shorter ones.
  • the ends of the shorter arms of the base (2) extend perpendicularly in two parallel extensions (3) where a main support (5) is connected jointedly by means of some tube-shaped pins or rivets (4) by two diametrically opposite points.
  • This support (5) has an essentially annular shape with a circular shape, although it could have another different shape.
  • the connection of the two extensions to the shorter arms of the base is done by the interposition of some inclined sections (6).
  • the ends of the longer arms of the base (2) also extend perpendicularly, in other extensions (7) that are parallel to each other and parallel to the anterior ones (3).
  • This fastening of the small angular supports (9) is carried out by means of some screws (12) that pass through the cited opposite walls of the frame (10) and thread in the small angular supports (9).
  • the perimetric frame (11) is fastened to the small angular supports (9) by means of some short threaded rods (13) integral to the perimetric frame (11) and which pass through the angular supports (9), in such a way that in the free sections of said rods (13) some nuts (14) that ensure the fastening of the frame (11) to the small angular supports (9), screw.
  • the main support (5) has an angular section and is prepared to receive the assembly of a socket (15) that is fastened to the cited main support (5) by means of a ring (16) that also has an angular section.
  • the socket (15), that has a convex shape, rests in principle against the inside of the horizontal branch (17) of the main support (5).
  • the ring (16) will couple by means of a small rotation on the vertical branch (18) of the main support (5) in order to immobilize the socket (15) assembly.
  • the main support (5) has on the outside several elongated wedge-shaped projections (19) where some appendixes (20) integral to the inside surface of the vertical branch (21) of the ring (16) will couple.
  • the frame (10) together with the ring of the socket (15) and other elements will be fastened to a ceiling or other surface by some conventional means.
  • the horizontal branch (17) of the main support (5) has some elongated notches (22) arranged in correspondence with the hinge points with respect to the tiltable head (1) in order to allow the cited support (5) to bend at least 45° for each side.
  • the tiltable head (1) also has an angular bending of at least 45° for each side. As it is evident, during the bending of the tiltable head (1), the head draws at all times the main support (5) as the main support is jointedly coupled to the tiltable head (1).
  • the angular amplitude for both sides of the assembly of the tiltable head (1) will be limited by the perimetric frame itself (11), in such a way that the inclined sections (6) of said head (1) will abut against one of the sides of the perimetric frame (11) that covers the mouth of the cubic frame (10).
  • the ring (16) includes on the outside a perimetric knurling (23) in order to facilitate the handling thereof during assembly and disassembly.
  • the socket (15) includes a halogen lamp (24) retained by means of a small transversal support (25) that is anchored by its ends in some small grooves (26) of the convex body of the socket (15) assembly.
