Definitions
- the present invention relates to a light animation device allowing to create luminous visual effects.
- the animation system light comprises at least one light garland powered by a animator generating alternating current on several supply channels.
- the problem posed that the invention proposes to solve is to reduce the number of wires supplying the light garland, which has the advantage either to be able to reduce the thickness of the light garland, or to reduce the distance between the conductors that make up the light chain, while obtaining the same light effect as the garlands of the prior art.
- diodes on an even number of outputs supplied with the animator are mounted diodes.
- On one type of output is mounted a diode in the direct direction.
- On another type of. output is mounted a diode In the opposite way.
- a diode is mounted in series on each series of bulbs. Sure a series of bulbs is connected in series with a diode in the direct direction. Sure the other series of bulbs is connected in series with a diode in the opposite direction.
- This arrangement makes it possible to keep all the display variants offered by an animator with n powered output channels and a neutral phase which previously was connected to n + 1 son in the light chain and which with the invention supplies a light garland with a number of wires less than n + 1.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to reduce the number of wires crossing the light chain in relation to the number of supply routes the animator to which the light garland is connected.
- the light garland allows a series connection with other string lights.
- the total length of a light garland is a multiple of a light garland unit. Most short length of the light garland is called garland unit light. By connecting garland units to the light chain it is possible to modify the length of the light chain.
- the length of the unit of light garland can be halved compared to the prior art.
- FIG. 1 is shown the animator (10) which is constituted in particular an alternating current generator which supplies a first power output (11) and a second current power output (12) alternative,
- the animator (10) is provided with a time delay which makes it possible to regulate the supply or not of the supplied outputs (11,12) according to a programming selected by the user.
- the animator is provided with an output (13) which is connected to neutral.
- the first powered outlet (11) is connected to a powered wire (61) on which a diode (21) is mounted in the direct direction.
- the second exit powered (12) is connected to a powered wire (62) on which a diode (22) is mounted in reverse.
- the two supplied wires (61.62) then meet on a common supply wire (15) of the light garland (1).
- the light garland (1) includes in particular the common supply wire (15) and a neutral wire (18).
- the neutral wire (18) is connected to the neutral output (13) of the animator (10).
- On the first bridge (101) is constituted in series by a diode (31) mounted in the direct direction and a series of bulbs (50.1).
- the second bridge (102) is formed in series by a diode mounted in the direction reverse (32) and a series of bulbs (50.2). All the wires (18,15,101,102) and bulbs (50.1,50.2) can be housed or extruded in a protective sheath (60).
- the animator (10) supplies the first output (11) with alternating current, then only the positive half-waves will pass the diode (21) to reach the common supply wire (15) and the current will then only pass through the first bridge (101) since it will be blocked in the second bridge (102) by the diode (32) in reverse. If the animator (10) supplies the second output (12) with alternating current, then only the negative half-waves will cross the diode (22) to reach the common supply wire (15). The current will not pass then only in the second bridge (102) since it will be blocked in the first bridge (101) by the diode (31).
- the invention therefore makes it possible to supply only a series of bulbs (50.1) arranged on the first bridge (101) supplying the first power outlet (11).
- the invention therefore makes it possible to supply only another series of bulbs (50.2) arranged on the second deck (102) by supplying the second supply outlet (12).
- the invention allows thus using an animator (10) with two powered outputs (11,12) and a light chain (1) with two wires (18,15), a common powered wire (15) and a wire neutral (18), while retaining all the display possibilities which were offered by a facilitator with two powered outputs and a light garland from the prior art with three wires which included two powered wires and a neutral wire.
- the bulbs (50.1) of the first deck (101) are arranged alternately with the bulbs (50.2) of the second deck (102) so that, seen from afar, all the bulbs appear on a line and that, following the displacement along of this line, one bulb in two belongs to the first bridge (101) and one bulb on two belongs to the second deck (102).
- the wire common supply (15) and the neutral wire (18) can be connected to a light chain unit.
- This light chain unit consists of by the description given above of the light garland which is then composed of a single light chain unit.
- Figure 3 depicts a light garland composed of two light garland units which are connected so as to increase the length of the light garland.
- FIG 2 is shown an animator (10) and a garland light (1 ') according to the prior art.
- the presenter presents three outings (11,12,13).
- the first and second outputs (11,12) are supplied with alternating current.
- the third output (13) is connected to the neutral.
- the Garland luminous (1 ') comprises three wires (41,42,48).
- the first wire (41) is connected to the first powered output (11) of the animator (10).
- the second wire (42) is connected to the second powered output (12) of the animator (10).
- the third neutral wire (48) is connected to the neutral output (13) of the animator (10).
- Between the first wire supplied (41) and the neutral wire (48) is mounted a first group (201) on which is mounted a series of bulbs.
- a second group (202) on which is mounted a series bulbs Between the second powered wire (42) and the wire neutral (48) is mounted a second group (202) on which is mounted a series bulbs. If the animator supplies the first output (11), the series of bulbs mounted on the first group (201) will light up. If the presenter feeds the second outlet (12), the series of bulbs mounted on the second group (202) come on. Traditionally, the bulbs of the first group (201) and the bulbs of the second group (202) are mounted alternately one by one in the light garland (1 ') so as to produce a chaser effect by alternately supplying the first outlet (11) and the second outlet (12). By a time delay, the facilitator can thus light a series of bulbs or another and thus create a visual effect.
- the light garland according to art therefore has three wires (41,42,48), two powered wires (41,42) and one wire neutral (48).
- bulbs (50) having identical characteristics and arranged with the same distance inside the light garlands (1,1 ') according to the prior art and according to the invention, it appears that the electrical assembly. according to the invention must, for an equivalent brightness, have less of bulbs on a shorter bridge compared to the electrical assembly of art prior. Indeed the average electric power dissipated by the bridges (101,102) will be less than the average electric power dissipated by the groups (201,202) since the diodes (31,32) will only let through substantially half of the current generated by the animator (10). In equivalent conditions, the invention therefore makes it possible to propose garlands light bulbs smaller than the light garlands of the prior art, all by keeping the same light animation effects, which has the advantage to be able to offer a finer adjustment of the size of a light garland.
- Figure 3 shows a view of a light chain with two light chain units (1a, 1b) which are interconnected by the wires neutral (18a, 18b) and supplied wires (15a, 15b)
- the first garland unit luminous (1a) comprises, as described in relation to Figure 1; two bridges (101a, 102a) mounted in parallel.
- the second light chain unit (1b) comprises as described in relation to Figure 1 two bridges (101b, 102b) mounted in parallel.
- To connect two light string units (1a, 1b) simply connect the common supply wire (15a) of the first light chain (1a) to the common supply wire (15b) of the second light chain (1b) and connect the neutral wire (18a) of the first light chain (1a) to neutral wire (18b) of the second light chain (1b).
- the user can thus by assembling several units of garlands luminous obtain a light garland whose length is multiple of the length of a light chain unit.
- the bridges (101a, 101b) on which a diode is mounted in the direction direct will be powered.
- the bridges (102a, 102b) on which a diode is mounted in the opposite direction will powered.
- the invention therefore relates to a light animation device comprising an animator (10) and a light garland (1) housed or extruded in a protective sheath (60), characterized in that the garland light (1) is connected to the animator by at least one common supply wire (15) and by a neutral wire (18), between the common supply wire (15) and the wire neutral (18) are mounted in parallel a first bridge (101) and a second bridge (102), on the first bridge (101) is mounted in series a diode (31) in the direction and a series of bulbs (50.1), on the second bridge (102) is connected in series a diode (32) in the opposite direction and a series of bulbs (50.2).
