Description détaillée d'un mode préférentiel de l'inventionDetailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

En référence aux figures, une lampe 10 d'éclairage à LED comporte un boîtier 11 monté sur une platine 12 par une liaison à rotule 13 permettant une orientation multidirectionnelle.With reference to the figures, an LED lighting lamp 10 comprises a housing 11 mounted on a plate 12 by a ball joint 13 allowing a multidirectional orientation.

Le boîtier 11 est compact dans le sens de la profondeur, et renferme au moins une pile 14 bouton de forme circulaire accessible au moyen d'un couvercle 16 rotatif intégré dans une ouverture 17 circulaire ménagée dans la face arrière 15.The housing 11 is compact in the depth direction, and encloses at least one circular shaped button cell 14 accessible by means of a rotatable cover 16 integrated in a circular opening 17 formed in the rear face 15.

Le module d'éclairage 18 est logé dans un évidement 19 de la face avant 20 du boîtier 11, et comporte trois LED 21 de couleurs blanches disposées aux sommets d'un triangle, et une LED 22 rouge insérée au centre des trois LED 21 blanches.The lighting module 18 is housed in a recess 19 of the front face 20 of the housing 11, and comprises three LEDs 21 of white colors arranged at the vertices of a triangle, and a red LED 22 inserted in the center of the three white LEDs 21 .

Un commutateur 23 rotatif à plusieurs positions entraîne un contact frotteur sur une carte électronique (non représentée) pour sélectionner les différents modes de fonctionnement de la lampe 10.A multi-position rotary switch 23 causes a wiper contact on an electronic board (not shown) to select the various modes of operation of the lamp 10.

Par pivotement successif du commutateur 23 de droite vers la gauche, on obtient les états suivants :

  • éteint et verrouillage mécanique en fin de course à droite,
  • éteint et déverrouillé,
  • différentes puissances d'éclairage dans le sens croissant,
  • clignotement des trois LED 21 de couleurs blanches,
  • clignotement de la LED 22 rouge centrale,
  • allumage permanent de la LED 22 rouge,
  • extinction en fin de course à gauche.
By successive pivoting of the switch 23 from right to left, the following states are obtained:
  • off and mechanical lock at the end of the race on the right,
  • turned off and unlocked,
  • different lighting powers in the increasing direction,
  • blinking of the three LEDs 21 of white colors,
  • blinking of the central red LED 22,
  • permanent lighting of the red LED 22,
  • extinction at the end of the race on the left.

Le commutateur 23 est agencé à côté du module d'éclairage 18 en étant monté à rotation sur un axe 24 perpendiculaire à la face avant 20. L'axe 24 du commutateur 23 s'étend parallèlement au faisceau lumineux émis par les LED 21, 22.The switch 23 is arranged next to the lighting module 18 while being rotatably mounted on an axis 24 perpendicular to the front face 20. The axis 24 of the switch 23 extends parallel to the light beam emitted by the LEDs 21, 22 .

L'actionnement du commutateur 23 s'effectue au moyen d'une patte de préhension 25, laquelle est équipée d'un ergot 26 de guidage se déplaçant le long d'une rainure 27 circulaire aménagée dans la face latérale étroite du boîtier 11. De préférence, la rainure 27 comporte une pluralité de crans 33 d'indexage coopérant avec l'ergot 26 pour déterminer les positions angulaires successives relatives aux divers modes de fonctionnement incrémental.Actuation of the switch 23 is effected by means of a gripping tab 25, which is equipped with a guide pin 26 moving along a circular groove 27 formed in the narrow side face of the housing 11. Preferably, the groove 27 comprises a plurality of indexing notches 33 cooperating with the lug 26 to determine the successive angular positions relating to the various modes of incremental operation.

La liaison à rotule 13 est solidaire de la platine 12, et est engagée dans un logement 28 de forme complémentaire, prévu à la base du boîtier 11 à l'opposé de la patte de préhension 25 lorsqu'elle se trouve en position de fin de course éteint verrouillé. La platine 12 présente une forme aplatie du côté extérieur, et une cuvette 29 du côté intérieur. Deux passants 30 fendus dans la platine 12 permettent le montage et le démontage d'un élastique pour constituer une lampe frontale.The ball joint 13 is integral with the plate 12, and is engaged in a housing 28 of complementary shape, provided at the base of the housing 11 opposite the gripping tab 25 when it is in the end position of run off locked. The plate 12 has a flattened shape on the outer side, and a bowl 29 on the inner side. Two loops 30 split in the plate 12 allow the assembly and disassembly of an elastic to form a headlamp.

La platine 12 est dotée en plus de deux orifices 31 pour l'utilisation d'un enrouleur, et d'un clip à ressort 32 en fil d'acier inoxydable permettant l'accrochage sur tout type de support, par exemple une sangle, poche, élastique, ceinture, etc...The plate 12 is additionally provided with two orifices 31 for the use of a winder, and a spring clip 32 made of stainless steel wire for hanging on any type of support, for example a strap, pocket , elastic, belt, etc ...

Le fonctionnement de la lampe et l'orientation multiple de la platine 12 sont les suivants :The operation of the lamp and the multiple orientation of the plate 12 are as follows:

Le déplacement incrémental par pivotement du commutateur 23 permet d'obtenir les divers modes de fonctionnement des LED 21, 22. A chaque position stable du commutateur 23 dans un cran 33, correspond un mode spécifique d'éclairage.The incremental displacement by pivoting of the switch 23 makes it possible to obtain the various modes of operation of the LEDs 21, 22. At each stable position of the switch 23 in a notch 33, corresponds a specific mode of illumination.

La liaison à rotule 13 permet une orientation multidirectionnelle de la platine 13 par rapport au boîtier 11 de la lampe 10, ainsi que le montage sur différents supports.The ball joint 13 allows a multidirectional orientation of the plate 13 relative to the housing 11 of the lamp 10, and the mounting on different supports.

La platine 12 peut venir en appui côté cuvette 29 sur la face avant 20 de manière à recouvrir le module d'éclairage 18 à LED 21, 22, et le commutateur 23 (voir figures 3 et 7). On incline le boîtier 11 de la lampe de 90° vers le bas, suivi d'une rotation de 180° par rapport à l'axe du pied de la rotule 13, et enfin une remontée de 90°.The plate 12 can bear against the cup side 29 on the front face 20 so as to cover the lighting module 18 with LEDs 21, 22, and the switch 23 (see figures 3 and 7 ). The housing 11 of the lamp is tilted 90 ° downwards, followed by a rotation of 180 ° with respect to the axis of the foot of the ball 13, and finally a rise of 90 °.

Le côté extérieur aplati de la platine 12 permet aussi de poser la lampe sur une surface plane (table, ou autre).The flattened outer side of the plate 12 also allows to put the lamp on a flat surface (table, or other).

La platine 12 peut également être plaquée sur la face arrière du boîtier 11 (figures 2 et 1). Elle peut être associée à un élastique, un enrouleur, et peut être clipper sur tout support grâce au clip à ressort 32.The plate 12 can also be plated on the rear face of the housing 11 ( Figures 2 and 1 ). It can be associated with a rubber band, a winder, and can be clipped on any support thanks to the spring clip 32.

Il est clair que le module d'éclairage 18 peut être constitué par un nombre différent de LED, ou par une seule LED de puissance. Le commutateur 23 rotatif peut aussi être remplacé par un bouton poussoir à impulsions faisant saillie de la face avant 20.It is clear that the lighting module 18 may be constituted by a different number of LEDs, or by a single power LED. The rotary switch 23 can also be replaced by a push button pulses protruding from the front face 20.
