Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the installation of light fittings that can be built into a surface, for example a false roof or a similar structure.
  • the device includes at least one blocking element that presents a first end (such as the lower end), associated with the surface where the light fitting will be mounted, and a second end (such as the upper end), that is associated with the structure of the light fitting.
  • the blocking element intended to hold the light fitting in position with respect to the surface is a torsion spring, as illustrated in the documents ES2080347 ; ES1003809 ; ES1036203 ; ES1019478 ; ES1036340 ; ES1060966U , ES1038590U , ES1026698U , US4872096 and US4614997 .
  • the spring acts on the surface and on the light fitting itself.
  • the torsion spring can act indirectly on a clamp, as illustrated in the utility models ES100603U and ES1011601 U .
  • the blocking element can be an elastic strip, as disclosed in the documents ES1017711 and FR1304849 .
  • the mounting of the present built-in light fittings requires an extensive installation time and is often inconvenient due to poor accessibility to the interior of the surface, in some cases, therefore a tool suitable for installation is required. Furthermore, the majority of anchoring mechanisms for the current built-in light fittings fail to provide removal means.
  • the present invention proposes a device for the installation of light fittings built into a surface, such as a false roof, with which the mounting operation is very easy. As will be seen hereinafter, it is sufficient to push a blocking element with one finger in order to fix the light fitting in position in the surface where it must installed without having to use a tool for installation. Furthermore, the invention device presents the additional advantage of allowing the removal of the light fitting from said surface in a quick and simple way.
  • the blocking element of the device for the installation of built-in lights is made up of two pieces that can turn with respect to each other.
  • it concerns a first piece that includes a first end and a second piece that includes a second end, opposite said first end.
  • elastic means which can be, for example, a torsion spring.
  • the relative turning of both elements can be carried out around a shaft mounted in the structure of the light fitting.
  • the second end of the blocking element is equipped with fixing means. These fixing means have the aim of coupling the second piece of the blocking element to the structure of the light fitting, as will be described hereinafter. In this way, when the light fitting is installed and held in position in the surface, the blocking element remains supported with the first piece against said surface and the second piece is fixed in the structure of the light, thus holding the light assembly in position.
  • the means for fixing the light fitting to said second end of the blocking element comprise a substantially flexible holding element intended to remain blocked in the structure of the light fitting. Provision is made for said fixing means also to include a release tongue integral with said holding element intended to facilitate the detachment of the structure of the light fitting.
  • One area of said second end of the blocking element, adjacent to said holding element, can present a relief intended to facilitate the fixing of the holding element in the structure of the light fitting by means of pressure exerted by the operator on said area, without the need for a tool for installation.
  • a device for the installation of light fittings built into a surface in accordance with the present invention allows the easy installation of the light fitting in said surface, guaranteeing its effective blocking in position with respect to the surface into which it is to be placed. Furthermore, the device of the invention, as described, allows the detachment of the light fitting quickly and simply without requiring any extra time. These advantages also positively influence the final cost of the installation.
  • FIG. 10 a possible embodiment example of a device in accordance with the invention is illustrated.
  • the device that is described with reference to the Figures is intended for the installation of light fittings that can be built into any suitable surface that allows the coupling of a light fitting in such a way that it remains built into the interior of the surface, for example a false roof.
  • the device of the invention serves the function of holding the light fitting in position in said surface when it has been installed.
  • Said surface (see Figures 10 to 15 of the drawings) has been designated in the drawings with the number 1 and in the description that is in accordance with the example shown, reference will also be made to said surface as the false roof.
  • the surface 1 where the light fitting is to be built in has an opening 2 to allow the light fitting with its structure 3 to pass through it.
  • Said structure 3 of the light fitting includes a casing on which the components of the light fitting itself are mounted, made up of a frame 3b that, in the mounting position (as shown in Figures 12 and 15 ) remains supported on the lower face of the surface 1 where the light fitting is built in.
  • the structure of the light fitting 3 also includes support elements 3c (also as devices in accordance with the invention).
  • These support elements 3c are defined by U-shaped structures (see in particular Figure 8 ) whose arms include respective notches 3d that receive rivets 3e by screw threading that cross corresponding orifices 3f formed in a support bridge 3a for its coupling to the structure of the light fitting 3.
  • This support bridge 3a presents a rectangular central opening 23 with an upper edge 21 provided with a central rectangular indentation 22.
  • each support element 3c In the notches 3d of each support element 3c are housed the ends of a shaft 5 that supports in a rotary way a blocking element 4 that forms part of the device of the invention and an exploded view of which is illustrated in Figure 7 .
  • the blocking element 4 consists of two pieces: a first piece 4a and a second piece 4b. Both pieces 4a, 4b of the blocking element 4 can turn with respect to each other, and also with respect to the structure 3 of the light fitting, around said shaft 5 mounted, as indicated, on the structure 3, on said support elements 3c.
  • the elastic means are made up of a torsion spring 6 made in steel wire.
  • This torsion spring 6 is defined by a pair of spirals 6a and 6b, as can be seen in Figure 7 , wound around said shaft 5 of the blocking element 4.
  • the respective ends of the spirals 6a and 6b extend in corresponding substantially parallel sections 6c, 6d that project outwards.
  • the opposite ends of said spirals 6a, 6b remain joined in the form of a bridge 6e, which extends opposite said substantially parallel sections 6c, 6d, as illustrated in Figure 7 .
  • the bridge 6e of the spring 6 acts against the first piece 4a, while the substantially parallel sections 6c, 6d of said spring 6 act against the second piece 4b. This action tends to maintain both elements in a position aligned with each other, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 6 of the drawings.
  • the first piece 4a includes a first end A and is arranged, in the blocked position, on the lower part of the blocking element 4.
  • the first piece 4a includes a hollow casing that, in its upper part disposes of two cylindrical bodies 7,8 provided respectively with a through orifice 9,10.
  • the orifices 9,10 are aligned with each other so that the shaft 5 passes through them.
  • the second piece 4b includes a second end B, opposite said first end A of the first piece 4a, and is arranged, in the blocking position, in the upper part of the blocking element 4.
  • This second piece 4b also comprises a hollow casing that, on its lower part has two cylindrical bodies 11,12 provided respectively with a through orifice 13,14.
  • the cylindrical bodies 7,8 of this second piece 4b remain aligned with the cylindrical bodies 11,12 of the first piece 4a through whose respective orifices 9,10,13,14 the shaft 5 passes and remains with its ends housed in the notches 3d of the support elements 3c of the frame of the light fitting 3b. In this way both elements 4a, 4b remain joined to each other with the possibility of relative turning and also with the possibility of turning with respect to the support bridge 3a.
  • fixing means 15 are provided that are located on the second piece 4b, on the second end B.
  • the blocking element 4 remains with the first piece 4a supported against the internal part of the surface of the false roof 1, while the second piece 4b remains fixed on the support bridge 3a of the structure 3 of the light fitting.
  • the means for fixing the blocking element to the light fitting 15 comprise a holding element 16 intended to connect to the second piece 4b of the blocking element 4.
  • Said holding element 16 is made up of one piece in the form of a flexible strip that presents a lower area 16a and an upper area 16b.
  • the lower area 16a of the holding element 16 is defined by a flat rectangular plate that is equipped with two lateral tongues 16a', 16a" intended to facilitate the insertion and the blocking of the holding element 16 in the second piece 4b of the blocking element 4.
  • the lower area 16a of the holding element 16 extends to an upper area 16b defined by a substantially V-shaped folded foil that projects from the surface of the lower area 16a.
  • One end of this upper area 16b of the holding element 16 is subsequently extended to a release tongue 17.
  • This release tongue 17, integral with said holding element 16, is adapted to receive a cap 18 formed by a hollow piece with a substantially prismatic shape equipped with a projection 19 on its free end.
  • the upper area 16b of the holding element 16 is fitted into the interior part of the upper edge 21 of the rectangular opening 23 of the support bridge 3a.
  • the tongue 17 of the holding element 16 is fitted into the rectangular indentation 22 of said upper edge 21.
  • the second piece 4b of the blocking element 4 presents in its rear upper part, adjacent to the holding element 16, a relief area 20 intended to facilitate actuation, by the operator, of the piece 4b for insertion of the holding element 16 in the rectangular indentation 22 of the edge 21 of the structure of the light fitting 3.
  • Said insertion of the holding element 16 in the indentation 22 in order to fix the blocking element in the structure 3 of the light fitting is carried out simply by pushing the blocking element 4 with the finger on said relief area 20 towards the support bridge 3a, as detailed in the following with reference to the functioning of the device of the invention.
  • the blocking element 4 is placed in alignment with the support bridge 3a of the structure 3 of the light fitting, making it turn according to the arrow 24 shown in Figures 10 and 13 .
  • this alignment that prevents the blocking element 4 from projecting from the structure 3 of the light fitting, allows the introduction of the light fitting by pushing upwards through the opening 2 of the false roof 1 according to the vertical arrow 25 of Figures 10 and 13 .
  • the blocking element 4 is additionally made to turn according to the arrow 26 by pushing the second piece 4b against the torsion spring 6, in such a way that the first piece 4a remains supported with its first end A on the interior part (not visible) of the surface 1 of the false roof.
  • the holding element 16 is fitted into the upper edge 21 of the opening 23 of the support bridge 3a making it turn by exerting pressure on the relief area 20 of the second piece 4b.
  • the tongue 17 of the holding element 16 is inserted into the indentation 22 of the edge 21 of the support bridge 3a. This produces the blocking in position of the second piece 4b, with the first piece 4a exerting pressure on the interior part of the surface 1 of the false roof, and consequently the light fitting and its structure 3 are held in position.
  • another device can be mounted in an opposite diametral position or, if desired, many of said devices can be mounted in different positions in the structure 3 of the light fitting.
  • the light fitting is fitted perfectly into the opening 2 of the surface 1 into which it is to be placed, with an extremely convenient, simple and rapid installation process.
