Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif lumineux destiné, notamment, aux panneaux de signalisation.The present invention relates to a luminous device intended, in particular, for road signs.
Il est connu de réaliser des panneaux, en matière transparente ou translucide, comportant des inscriptions, gravées par exemple sur l'une de leurs faces, lesdites inscriptions étant visuellement mises en relief par l'envoi d'un rayon lumineux dans l'épaisseur de la plaque constituant le panneau.It is known to produce panels, transparent or translucent material, comprising inscriptions, engraved for example on one of their faces, said inscriptions being visually highlighted by sending a light beam in the thickness of the plate constituting the panel.
Généralement, l'éclairement est réalisé par une batterie de diodes disposées linéairement au-dessus du champ supérieur du panneau. Cette disposition est rendue nécessaire du fait que les rayons lumineux s'étendent sensiblement selon l'axe géométrique de la diode. Le résultat n'est pas satisfaisant car une partie des rayons lumineux est perdue et ne pénètre pas dans la plaque. Il faut signaler, aussi, que les diodes forment une rampe qui doit comporter un moyen de fixation qui est distinct de celui du panneau.Generally, the illumination is achieved by a battery of diodes arranged linearly above the upper field of the panel. This arrangement is made necessary because the light rays extend substantially along the geometric axis of the diode. The result is not satisfactory because part of the light rays is lost and does not enter the plate. It should be noted, too, that the diodes form a ramp which must include a fixing means which is distinct from that of the panel.
Depuis peu, une nouvelle génération de diodes est apparue sur le marché, lesdites diodes étant capables d'émettre des rayons situés sensiblement dans un plan s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe géométrique de la diode.Recently, a new generation of diodes has appeared on the market, said diodes being capable of emitting rays located substantially in a plane extending perpendicularly to the geometric axis of the diode.
L'invention met à profit l'utilisation de cette nouvelle diode pour réaliser un panneau de signalisation incorporant sa source d'éclairage.The invention takes advantage of the use of this new diode to make a signaling panel incorporating its lighting source.
Selon l'invention, la diode est maintenue dans un orifice du panneau de façon à ce que son axe géométrique s'étende perpendiculairement audit panneau.According to the invention, the diode is maintained in an orifice of the panel so that its geometric axis extends perpendicular to said panel.
De cette façon, les rayons lumineux émis par la diode sont intégralement transmis, sans perte, au panneau en s'étendant parallèlement à ses faces.In this way, the light rays emitted by the diode are integrally transmitted without loss to the panel extending parallel to its faces.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la diode est maintenue en position par l'entremise d'un boîtier en deux parties, assemblées l'une sur l'autre et disposée, chacune, de part et d'autre du panneau, l'une des parties qui traverse le panneau étant transparente et l'autre étant métallique pour favoriser l'évacuation, par conduction, de la chaleur produite par la diode.According to one embodiment, the diode is held in position by means of a housing in two parts, assembled one on the other and arranged, each, on either side of the panel, one of the parts passing through the panel being transparent and the other being metallic to promote the evacuation, by conduction, of the heat produced by the diode.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue éclatée, en coupe verticale, montrant les composants du dispositif de l'invention ;
- la figure 2 est une vue analogue à la figure 1, les composants du dispositif étant représentés en position d'utilisation ;
- les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues analogues à celle 2 montrant une variante de réalisation permettant d'utiliser le dispositif de l'invention avec des panneaux présentant des épaisseurs très différentes.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view, in vertical section, showing the components of the device of the invention;
- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, the device components being shown in the use position;
- Figures 3 and 4 are views similar to that 2 showing an alternative embodiment for using the device of the invention with panels having very different thicknesses.
Le problème consiste à envoyer des rayons lumineux à travers l'épaisseur d'une plaque 1, transparente ou translucide, comportant des inscriptions gravées ou fixées par un moyen adhésif. L'envoi des rayons lumineux fait apparaître les inscriptions.The problem consists in sending light rays through the thickness of a
Le but de l'invention vise un dispositif permettant d'utiliser, comme source de lumière, une diode 2 ayant la particularité d'émettre des rayons lumineux sensiblement dans un plan perpendiculaire à son axe géométrique XY.The object of the invention is to provide a device for using, as a light source, a

La partie 4, ou couvercle, traverse la plaque 1 et s'étend au-delà de cette dernière pour recevoir la partie 5.
Comme cela ressort de l'exemple représenté, la plaque 1 est emprisonnée entre l'épaulement 6 du couvercle 4 et l'extrémité 5a de la partie 5.As is apparent from the example shown, the
Le couvercle 4 présente un évidement 7 permettant le logement de la partie active de la diode 2.The
La partie du couvercle comprise dans l'épaisseur de la plaque est réalisée en une matière pouvant être traversée librement par les rayons lumineux.The portion of the cover included in the thickness of the plate is made of a material that can be traversed freely by the light rays.
La diode 2 est fixée sur une embase 8, métallique, pouvant prendre appui sur un épaulement 9 de la partie 5, également métallique. De cette façon, la partie 5 peut évacuer la chaleur dégagée par la diode.The
Comme cela ressort de la figure 2, un organe élastiquement déformable, tel qu'un joint torique 10, est interposé entre l'extrémité 4a du couvercle et l'embase 8. Lorsque le couvercle 4 est vissé à fond, comme montré sur la figure 2, l'organe 10 est comprimé et applique l'embase 8 contre l'épaulement 9.As is apparent from Figure 2, an elastically deformable member, such as an O-
Sur les dessins, les câbles d'alimentation ne sont pas représentés, mais il est évident qu'il convient de raccorder les câbles usuels qui sortent de la diode, et qui traversent librement l'embase 8, au câble provenant du secteur d'alimentation qui pénètre dans la partie 5 par un orifice 11. Selon l'invention, un espace 12 est prévu dans la partie 5 pour loger les organes de raccordement.In the drawings, the power cables are not shown, but it is obvious that it is necessary to connect the usual cables coming out of the diode, and which pass freely through the
Les figures 3 et 4 montrent une variante du dispositif de l'invention permettant de fixer ledit dispositif sur des panneaux présentant des épaisseurs très différentes.Figures 3 and 4 show a variant of the device of the invention for fixing said device on panels having very different thicknesses.
Le boîtier, enfermant la diode 2, est réalisé en deux parties 13 et 14, celle 13 étant réalisée en une matière transparente et celle 14 étant métallique. La partie 13 se visse dans celle 14 en emprisonnant le panneau 1 a (fig.3) ou celui 1 b (fig.4).The housing, enclosing the
La partie 13, ou couvercle, présente un épaulement 15 contre lequel est appliquée la platine usuelle 2a de la diode 2.The
La platine est appliquée contre l'épaulement 15 par l'action d'un ressort 16 qui a également pour fonction de transmettre la chaleur émise par la diode à la partie métallique 14, ledit ressort étant interposé entre ladite platine et le fond 17 de la partie 15 dans laquelle se visse celle 13.The plate is applied against the
Une rondelle métallique, non représentée, peut être interposée entre l'extrémité du ressort hélicoïdal 16 et la platine 2a.A metal washer, not shown, can be interposed between the end of the
Il est à noter que, par ce dispositif, les rayons émis par la diode restent à distance constante de la face externe du panneau et, ce, quelle que soit son épaisseur.It should be noted that, by this device, the rays emitted by the diode remain at a constant distance from the outer face of the panel and this, whatever its thickness.
