Said sleeve is moulded directly onto the light bulb and the cable or is formed from a heat-shrinkable tubular element having a given length, whereby said sleeve can protrude in front of the bulb and prevent access to live parts, when the former is broken, and envelops a sufficient amount of the length of the power supply cable to ensure that the entire unit is assembled in a solid manner. The invention can be used with strings of electric lights or luminous curtains which are used for temporary or permanent, indoor or outdoor, decorative purposes such as those traditionally used for celebrations or other events.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de sécurité pour ampoules miniature de décoration.The present invention relates to a safety device for miniature bulbs decoration.

Il est destiné aux lampes électriques de guirlandes ou rideaux lumineux utilisés pour la réalisation de décorations temporaires ou permanentes, à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur, telles que celles installées traditionnellement pour les fêtes ou autres manifestations.It is intended for electric lights garlands or light curtains used for the realization of temporary or permanent decorations, outside or inside, such as those traditionally installed for parties or other events.

Les guirlandes et rideaux lumineux pour illuminations sont constitués de lampes électriques de faibles dimensions disposées à intervalles réguliers le longs de câbles d'alimentation et montées directement sur ceux-ci.Garlands and light curtains for illuminations consist of small electric lamps arranged at regular intervals along power cables and mounted directly on them.

Dans la plupart des cas, le dispositif est alimenté à partir de la tension du secteur (généralement 230 volts) par un câble principal comportant des dérivations branchées en parallèle et formées chacune d'une boucle sur laquelle les lampes sont montées en séries de façon à être alimentées individuellement en basse tension.In most cases, the device is powered from the mains voltage (usually 230 volts) by a main cable having branches connected in parallel and each formed of a loop on which the lamps are connected in series so as to be individually powered at low voltage.

Ces lampes sont généralement constituées d'une ampoule 1 en verre contenant un filament 2 dont les extrémités traversent la paroi et sont directement sur les conducteurs du câble d'alimentation 3. La base de l'ampoule 1 et une portion du câble 3 sont emprisonnés dans un tube 4 le plus souvent en silicone revêtu d'une gaine en PVC (figure 1).These lamps generally consist of a glass bulb 1 containing a filament 2 whose ends pass through the wall and are directly on the conductors of the power cable 3. The base of the bulb 1 and a portion of the cable 3 are imprisoned in a tube 4 most often silicone coated with a PVC sheath (Figure 1).

Les normes en vigueur imposent que, d'une part les éléments sous tension ne puissent être touchés en cas de bris accidentel de l'ampoule et, d'autre part, que cette dernière ne puisse pas être arrachée à moins d'un effort très important. A titre indicatif, les tests d'homologation pour ce type de matériel sont effectués en exerçant 50 tractions successives de 30 newtons sur une ampoule.The standards in force require that, on the one hand, the live parts can not be touched in case of accidental breakage of the bulb and, on the other hand, that the latter can not be torn off unless a very effort is made. important. As an indication, the homologation tests for this type of material are carried out by exerting 50 successive tractions of 30 newtons on a bulb.

On connait par le document US-A-5.632.550.A un dispositif d'attache d'ampoule dans un réseau en filet utilisé pour la réalisation de décorations lumineuses temporaires ou permanentes, intérieures ou extérieures, telles que celles installées traditionnellement pour les fêtes ou autres manifestations, ces lampes étant montées directement sur le câble d'alimentation électrique, l'ampoule et l'extrémité des conducteurs du câble étant enserrés dans un double manchon en matière synthétique transparente ou translucide résistant à la chaleur. Le double manchon est constitué de deux éléments tubulaires thermoretractables dont la longueur est telle qu'ils dépassent l'avant de l'ampoule pour empêcher l'accès aux parties sous tension et qui enserre une longueur de câble d'alimentation assez longue pour assurer un assemblage solide de ladite ampoule et dudit câble d'alimentation.Document US-A-5,632,550.A discloses a device for attaching a bulb to a net network used for producing temporary or permanent lighting decorations, interior or exterior, such as those traditionally installed for the holidays. or other manifestations, these lamps being mounted directly on the power supply cable, the bulb and the end of the cable conductors being enclosed in a double sleeve of translucent transparent or heat-resistant synthetic material. The double sleeve consists of two heat-shrink tubular elements whose length is such that they protrude beyond the front of the bulb to prevent access to live parts and enclose a length of power cable long enough to ensure solid assembly of said bulb and said power cable.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention a pour objectif de garantir une sécurité élevées des guirlandes et rideaux lumineux à lampes miniature en assurant une protection à l'arrachement des ampoules et en empêchant l'accès aux parties conductrices de celles-ci lorsqu'elles sont brisées.The device according to the present invention aims to ensure a high security garlands and light curtains miniature lamps providing protection against tearing of the bulbs and preventing access to the conductive parts thereof when they are broken .

Il est constitué d'un manchon en matière synthétique transparente enserrant l'ampoule et les extrémités des conducteurs du câbles d'alimentation électrique t se caractérise par le fait que ledit manchon est surmoulé directement sur l'ampoule et l'extrémité des conducteurs du câble pour empêcher l'accès aux parties sous tension lorsque celle-ci est brisée, et qu'il enserre une longueur de câble d'alimentation assez importante pour assurer un assemblage solide de l'ensemble. Des modes de réalisation de l'invention font l'objet des revendications dépendantes.It consists of a transparent plastic sleeve enclosing the bulb and the ends of the conductors of the power supply cable is characterized in that said sleeve is overmolded directly on the bulb and the end of the cable conductors to prevent access to the live parts when it is broken, and that encloses a length of power cable large enough to ensure a solid assembly of the assembly. Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention:

  • la figure 1, déjà citée, est une coupe axiale d'une lampe miniature pour guirlande non équipée de manchon de sécurité,
  • la figure 2 représente dans les mêmes conditions une lampe de même type équipée d'un manchon surmoulé.
  • et la figure 3 est une coupe transversale agrandie suivant les flèches F1 de la figure 2.
In the accompanying drawings, given as non-limiting examples of embodiments of the subject of the invention:
  • FIG. 1, already cited, is an axial section of a miniature lamp for a garland not equipped with a safety sleeve,
  • FIG. 2 represents, under the same conditions, a lamp of the same type equipped with an overmolded sleeve.
  • and FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-section along the arrows F1 of FIG. 2.

Le dispositif, figures 2 et 3, est constitué d'un manchon 6 transparent ou translucide, coloré ou non, en matériau synthétique résistant à la chaleur enserrant à la fois l'ampoule miniature 1 et l'extrémité du câble 3 d'alimentation électrique de façon à rendre solidaire l'ensemble formé par le câble d'alimentation et les ampoules.The device, FIGS. 2 and 3, consists of a transparent or translucent sleeve 6, colored or not, of heat-resistant synthetic material enclosing both the miniature bulb 1 and the end of the power supply cable 3. in order to make integral the assembly formed by the power cable and the bulbs.
