Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a wall light fitting, more particularly a wall light fitting which mainly consists of a basic element and a shade.
  • the basic element consists of a foot with a lamp holder and electric cables which extend from the lamp holder past the foot, in many cases through an opening in the foot.
  • Lamp fittings are for example known from EP 0.907.865 and DE 827.681 .
  • such a wall light fitting is generally fixed against a wall by first fixing the foot of the basic element against the wall, for example by means of screws, and by subsequently connecting the electric cables to the live wires of the mains, and by finally fixing the shade on said basic element, for example by means of screws, hooks or the like.
  • the problem is that the shade must be held at the height of the basic element until the connection between the shade and the basic element is completed.
  • the present invention aims a wall light fitting which excludes the above-mentioned and other disadvantages.
  • the wall light fitting mainly consists of a basic element and a shade, whereby the basic element at least consists of a foot, provided with a bearing face to fix it against a wall, and of a protruding part provided upon it whereby, when the wall light fitting is mounted, the protruding part is directed slantingly upward, whereas the shade is provided with a predominantly duct-shaped passage at its lower end, whose shape and inside dimensions of the cross section mainly correspond to the shape and the outside dimensions of the largest cross section of the protruding part, in order to make sure that the shade can be pushed on the protruding part and wherein the shade is provided with a slantingly directed flat edge on one far end, provided at an angle which is identical to the one formed between the foot and the protruding part of the basic element.
  • the shade can be pushed over the protruding part and is kept in place thanks to the gravitational pull.
  • the protruding part is tubular.
  • the shade is provided with a flat edge on the above-mentioned lower end which, when the wall light fitting is mounted, is parallel to the bearing face of the foot.
  • the flat edge is slantingly directed in relation to the axis of the duct-shaped passage, namely at the same angle as the one formed between the wall and the tubular part.
  • the flat edge is provided with a recess whose inside dimensions are at least as large as the outside dimensions of the foot.
  • the advantage of this preferred embodiment is that the shade can be pushed over the protruding part until the flat edge fits against the wall and hides the basic element entirely.
  • the shape and dimensions of the foot are such that, when the wall light fitting is mounted, said foot is embedded in the above-mentioned duct-shaped passage.
  • the wall light fitting 1 mainly consists of a basic element 2 and a shade 3.
  • the basic element 2 in this case mainly consists of a protruding part 4 with a circular cross section from which, in the longitudinal direction, a part of the casing has been removed and one far end of which has been cut slantwise, such that an elliptic intersecting line is formed there.
  • a foot 5 which is formed in particular of a flat plate whose contour line corresponds to the above-mentioned elliptic intersecting line, as represented in greater detail in figures 3 , 4 and 5 .
  • the other far end of the protruding part 4 is cut off crosswise and is internally provided with two longitudinally directed protrusions 8 which, via ribs 9, are connected to the casing of the protruding part 4, whereby these protrusions 8 reach up to the free end of the protruding part 4, and whereby threaded holes 9 are provided in these protrusions 8, in particular for fixing the lamp holder 10 by means of screws 11.
  • a lamp 12 In the lamp holder 10 is provided a lamp 12.
  • the lamp holder 10 is provided with electric cables 13 and 13A which run to a connecting strip 15 via an opening 14, provided against the inner side of the casing of the protruding part 4, in particular opposite the opening 16 which has been created by removing a part of the casing in the longitudinal direction.
  • Figures 4 and 5 represent the lid 20 which mainly assumes the shape of the part of the casing of the protruding part 4 which has been removed in the longitudinal direction.
  • This lid 20 is provided with a first protrusion 21 on one far end, and it is provided with a second protrusion 22 on the other far end.
  • the edges 23 of the lid 20, which are mainly situated in the longitudinal direction, are provided with a shoulder 24 which works in conjunction with a non-represented groove along the corresponding edges of the basic element 2.
  • the shade 3 comprises a tubular part 25 which is provided with a slantingly directed flat edge 26 on one far end, provided at an angle which is identical to the one formed between the foot 5 and the protruding part 4 of the basic element 2.
  • the shade 3 is provided with a translucent cylinder 27 around which are provided circular discs 28, whereby a round disc 29 is connected to the free far end of the cylinder 27.
  • the tubular part 25 of the shade 3 is provided with a duct-shaped passage 30 whose shape and inside dimensions mainly correspond to the shape and outside dimensions of the protruding part 4, in this case with a round cross section whose diameter is equal to or just slightly larger than the diameter of the protruding part 4 of the basic element 2.
  • the non-represented feeder cable which is provided in the wall 31 and which comes out of the wall 31 at the height of the required fastening point is fed through the opening 6 of the foot 5, and the foot of the basic element 2 is held against the wall 31 at the required height and in the required direction, and it is fixed against the latter by means of screws which are not represented in the drawings and which are provided through the above-mentioned holes 7.
  • the lid 20 is provided on the basic element 2, whereby first the protrusion 22 and then the protrusion 21 in the accompanying recesses 18, 19 respectively, is provided in the basic element 2.
  • This lid 20 forms a secure protection against the supply voltage when the shade 3 is removed from the basic element 2, for example when replacing the lamp 12.
  • the advantage of the wall light fitting 1 according to the invention is that the mounting is simple and that no tools are required to replace the lamp 12.
  • the shade 3 must not have any openings and can be easily made water-tight, such that the wall light fitting according to the invention is very suitable for use in the open air.
  • the protruding part 4 of the basic element 2 may also have a square or another cross section, and that the protruding part must not be tubular, as long as the shape of the passage 30 in the tubular part 25 of the shade 3 can be pushed over the protruding part 4 of the basic element 2.
  • the predominantly duct-shaped passage 30 may have widenings, as long as the shape and the inside dimensions of the smallest section of the predominantly duct-shaped passage 30 correspond to or are somewhat larger than the shape and the outside dimensions of the largest section of the predominantly protruding part 4 of the basic element 2.
  • the shape and the inside dimensions of the smallest section of the duct-shaped passage 30 must necessarily correspond to or be somewhat larger than the shape and the outside dimensions of the largest section of the predominantly protruding part 4 of the basic element 2, such over a sufficient length and/or on at least two sections situated away from each other.
  • the embodiment represented in the figures has a foot 5 whose contour line falls within the extension of the predominantly protruding part 4 of the basic element 2. It is clear that the foot 5 may have larger outside dimensions than the outside dimensions of the protruding part 4. In the latter case, the shade 3 can be pushed against the foot 5.
  • a recess may be provided in the oblique, flat far end of the shade 3 if necessary, whose shape and outside dimensions correspond to or are somewhat larger than the shape and the outside dimensions of the foot 5, and whose depth is at least as large as the thickness of the foot 5. In this manner is obtained a wall light fitting whose shade 3 can be pushed against the wall 31.
