Lorsque l'utilisateur repose le vase sur la surface de support S, ledit élément de commande 60 engage à nouveau avec ladite surface support S, ledit élément de commande 60 étant alors contraint à se rétracter.When the user rests the vase on the support surface S, said control element 60 again engages with said support surface S, said control element 60 then being forced to retract.

Ledit interrupteur 14 présente alors des moyens pour exploiter le mouvement de l'élément de commande 60, au déploiement ou à la rétractation pour allumer lesdites sources de lumière. Lorsque ledit ensemble 1 est à nouveau sur la surface de support S, les sources de lumière 4 sont allumées.Said switch 14 then has means for exploiting the movement of the control element 60, during deployment or retraction to switch on said light sources. When said assembly 1 is again on the support surface S, the light sources 4 are switched on.

De la même façon, partant de l'ensemble 1, tel qu'illustré à la figure 11c, lesdites sources de lumière 4 allumées, lesdites sources de lumière 14 peuvent être éteintes en soulevant et en reposant ledit ensemble 1 sur la surface support S. Ledit interrupteur 14 présente alors des moyens pour exploiter le mouvement de l'élément de commande 60, au déploiement ou à la rétractation pour éteindre lesdites sources de lumière 4.Similarly, starting from set 1, as illustrated in figure 11c , said light sources 4 on, said light sources 14 can be extinguished by lifting and resting said assembly 1 on the support surface S. Said switch 14 then has means for exploiting the movement of the control element 60, during deployment or retraction to extinguish said light sources 4 .

Selon l'invention, un logement 6 du vase est prévu pour la réception du boîtier 5. Ce logement est prévu dans le fond du vase, formé au niveau de la paroi extérieure du vase.According to the invention, a housing 6 of the vase is provided for receiving the housing 5. This housing is provided in the bottom of the vase, formed at the exterior wall of the vase.

Par exemple, selon l'exemple de la figure 2 qui illustre un vase en verre, la paroi de fond du vase est déformée vers l'intérieur du vase afin de réaliser ledit logement 6. Dans le cas d'un vase en verre, cette déformation intérieure et ainsi ce logement peuvent être réalisés lors du soufflage du verre, notamment en tournant le verre. Selon les exemples des figures le vase est en verre, constitué par un corps de révolution. Une telle fabrication permet d'obtenir des vases d'une bonne transparence.For example, according to the example of the figure 2 which illustrates a glass vase, the bottom wall of the vase is deformed towards the inside of the vase in order to produce said housing 6. In the case of a glass vase, this internal deformation and thus this housing can be produced during glass blowing, in particular by turning the glass. According to the examples of the figures, the vase is made of glass, constituted by a body of revolution. Such manufacture makes it possible to obtain vases of good transparency.

Telle qu'illustrée aux figures, selon cet exemple, la paroi du vase est notamment sensiblement d'épaisseur constante, la paroi du vase formant ledit logement 6 formant une saillie dans le volume intérieur dudit vase 2.As illustrated in the figures, according to this example, the wall of the vase is notably of substantially constant thickness, the wall of the vase forming said housing 6 forming a projection in the interior volume of said vase 2.

Par ailleurs, selon les exemples des figures on remarque que le diamètre d1 de l'ouverture supérieure 25 du vase est supérieur au diamètre d2 dudit logement 6.Furthermore, according to the examples in the figures, it is noted that the diameter d1 of the upper opening 25 of the vessel is greater than the diameter d2 of said housing 6.

Selon l'invention, le boîtier 5 est intégré dans le logement 6. Un joint souple 7, comprimé entre le boîtier 5 et la paroi du logement 6, assure le maintien et le blocage du boîtier 5 dans le logement 6.According to the invention, the housing 5 is integrated into the housing 6. A flexible seal 7, compressed between the housing 5 and the wall of the housing 6, maintains and blocks the housing 5 in the housing 6.

Dans le cas où le logement est réalisé lors du soufflage du verre, il peut être difficile d'être précis dans les dimensions du logement. Le joint souple 7 peut permettre de rattraper les tolérances de dimensionnements entre le logement et son boîtier, pour assurer le maintien et le blocage du boîtier.In the case where the housing is produced during the blowing of the glass, it may be difficult to be precise in the dimensions of the housing. The flexible seal 7 can make it possible to make up for the dimensional tolerances between the housing and its housing, in order to maintain and block the housing.

Tel qu'illustré à la figure 5, le joint souple 7 peut être un joint torique, par exemple, en un élastomère tel que le silicone.As illustrated in figure 5 , the flexible seal 7 can be an O-ring, for example, made of an elastomer such as silicone.

Le boîtier 5 peut être de forme cylindrique, tel qu'illustré aux figures 6 et 7, notamment de hauteur sensiblement inférieure au diamètre.The housing 5 can be of cylindrical shape, as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 , in particular of height substantially less than the diameter.

Le logement 6 du vase 2 est alors de forme globalement correspondante, cylindrique. Afin de faciliter l'insertion et le maintien dudit boîtier 5 dans le logement 6, on note de la figure 3 que ledit logement 6 peut être de forme légèrement tronconique, la paroi latérale dudit logement 6 étant alors convergente vers ladite ouverture supérieure 25 dudit vase 2.The housing 6 of the vessel 2 is then of generally corresponding, cylindrical shape. To facilitate the insertion and maintenance of said housing 5 in the housing 6, we note the figure 3 that said housing 6 may be of slightly frustoconical shape, the side wall of said housing 6 then being convergent towards said upper opening 25 of said vessel 2.

Le joint souple 7 peut être maintenu de manière élastique sur la surface, notamment cylindrique du boîtier 5. A cet effet, au repos, le joint souple 7 présente une circonférence inférieure à celle de la surface extérieure du boîtier sur laquelle il est destiné à être monté afin d'assurer la tenue du logement sur le boîtier. Le joint souple 7 peut être reçu dans une gorge 51 de la surface extérieure du boîtier 5.The flexible seal 7 can be held resiliently on the surface, in particular cylindrical of the housing 5. For this purpose, at rest, the flexible seal 7 has a circumference smaller than that of the external surface of the housing on which it is intended to be mounted to hold the housing on the housing. The flexible seal 7 can be received in a groove 51 in the outer surface of the housing 5.

Selon les exemples des figures 2, 3 ou 9 on remarque que le joint souple 7 est constitué par un joint torique, plein.According to the examples of figures 2 , 3 or 9 we note that the flexible seal 7 is constituted by a full O-ring.

Avantageusement selon la mode de réalisation illustré selon un exemple à la figure 12c, afin de faciliter la mise en place dudit boîtier 5 dans le logement 6, ledit joint souple 7 peut présenter des orifices d'évent 71 autorisant le libre passage de l'air entre ledit logement 6 et l'extérieur lorsque ledit joint souple 7 est comprimé entre ledit boîtier 5 et la paroi dudit logement 6. Ces orifices 71, qui peuvent être constitués par des encoches périphériques sur le joint souple 7, permettent éviter que de l'air soit comprimée entre le boitier 5 et le fond du logement 6, s'opposant à l'insertion dudit boîtier 5.Advantageously according to the embodiment illustrated according to an example in the figure 12c , in order to facilitate the positioning of said housing 5 in the housing 6, said flexible seal 7 may have vent orifices 71 allowing the free passage of air between said housing 6 and the outside when said flexible seal 7 is compressed between said housing 5 and the wall of said housing 6. These orifices 71, which may be constituted by peripheral notches on the flexible seal 7, make it possible to prevent air being compressed between the housing 5 and the bottom of the housing 6, opposing the insertion of said housing 5.

Alternativement ou additionnellement le joint souple 7 peut comprendre une base 72 et une aile 73, ladite aile 73 étant attenante à ladite base 72 par l'intermédiaire de l'une de ses extrémités, ladite base 72 étant reçue dans ladite gorge 51 dudit boîtier 5, ladite aile 73 étant décollée de ladite base 72 au moins en position de repos dudit joint souple 7, ladite aile 73 engageant avec ladite surface intérieure dudit logement 6. Lorsque ledit joint souple 7 est monté sur le boîtier 5, ledit joint en position de repos (non comprimé) ladite aile 73 est inclinée par rapport à la paroi latérale cylindrique du boîtier 5 d'un angle α comprise entre 20° et 60°, par exemple 45°.Alternatively or additionally the flexible seal 7 may comprise a base 72 and a wing 73, said wing 73 being attached to said base 72 by means of one of its ends, said base 72 being received in said groove 51 of said housing 5 , said wing 73 being detached from said base 72 at least in the rest position of said flexible seal 7, said wing 73 engaging with said interior surface of said housing 6. When said flexible seal 7 is mounted on the housing 5, said seal in position rest (uncompressed) said wing 73 is inclined relative to the cylindrical side wall of the housing 5 at an angle α between 20 ° and 60 °, for example 45 °.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation illustré des figures 13 à 15, le joint souple 7 peut être dans un matériau cellulaire, notamment à cellules fermées, tel que par exemple de la mousse de polyuréthane et être assujetti, notamment au moyen d'un adhésif à la paroi latérale du boîtier 5.According to another illustrated embodiment of the figures 13 to 15 , the flexible seal 7 may be made of a cellular material, in particular with closed cells, such as for example polyurethane foam and be secured, in particular by means of an adhesive, to the side wall of the housing 5.

Tel qu'illustré à la figure 14, on peut utiliser un élément 70, accessible dans le commerce généralement utilisé pour isoler thermiquement les portes et fenêtres qui est détourné de son utilisation première.As illustrated in figure 14 , one can use an element 70, commercially available generally used to thermally insulate doors and windows which is diverted from its primary use.

Cet élément 70 comprend une bande de matériau alvéolaire 71, souple, tel que de la mousse de polyuréthane, un adhésif recouvrant l'une des surfaces de la bande du matériau alvéolaire 71 et une feuille de protection 72 recouvrant la surface adhésive de la bande 71.This element 70 comprises a strip of cellular material 71, flexible, such as polyurethane foam, an adhesive covering one of the surfaces of the strip of cellular material 71 and a protective sheet 72 covering the adhesive surface of the strip 71 .

Pour assujettir et réaliser le joint souple 7, il suffit de découper une longueur dudit élément 70 correspondant au périmètre du boîtier 5, de retirer la feuille de protection 72 et de coller la surface adhésive de la bande 71 sur la paroi latérale du boîtier 5.To secure and produce the flexible joint 7, it suffices to cut a length of said element 70 corresponding to the perimeter of the housing 5, to remove the protective sheet 72 and to stick the adhesive surface of the strip 71 to the side wall of the housing 5.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'épaisseur e du joint souple 7 peut être comprise entre 2 mm et 20 mm et la hauteur du joint souple 7 comprise entre 5 mm et 20 mm.According to this embodiment, the thickness e of the flexible seal 7 can be between 2 mm and 20 mm and the height of the flexible seal 7 between 5 mm and 20 mm.

Telles qu'illustrées selon l'exemple de la figure 10, les diodes électroluminescentes peuvent être disposées successivement et de manière rapprochée en ligne, assujetties sur la paroi du vase 2. Dans cette configuration, les sources de lumière sont extérieures au boîtier 5 du dispositif, disposées, telle une guirlande, sur les parois intérieures ou extérieures du vase.As illustrated according to the example of figure 10 , the light-emitting diodes can be arranged successively and closely together in line, secured to the wall of the vessel 2. In this configuration, the light sources are external to the housing 5 of the device, arranged, like a garland, on the interior walls or outside of the vase.

Dans le cas où les diodes 40 sont prévues sur la paroi intérieure du vase, lesdites diodes 40 peuvent être disposées dans une tubulure 41, étanche à l'eau, afin de pouvoir être immergées. Le fond du vase peut alors être équipé d'un ou plusieurs orifices pour le passage entre l'intérieur du vase et le boîtier 5 d'alimentation, l'étanchéité étant complétée par un joint adéquat ou du mastic.In the case where the diodes 40 are provided on the inner wall of the vessel, said diodes 40 can be arranged in a pipe 41, waterproof, so that they can be immersed. The bottom of the vase can then be equipped with one or more orifices for passage between the interior of the vase and the supply box, the sealing being completed by an adequate seal or putty.

Alternativement, les sources de lumière 4 peuvent être prévues intégrées au boîtier, notamment prévues sur au moins une des surfaces du boîtier 5 des moyens d'alimentation, tel qu'illustré aux figures 1, 2, 3 et 6 notamment.Alternatively, the light sources 4 can be provided integrated into the housing, in particular provided on at least one of the surfaces of the housing 5 of the supply means, as illustrated in figures 1, 2 , 3 and 6 especially.

Dans ce cas, les parois du vase 2 ne sont pas opaques, mais transparentes ou translucides afin de permettre le passage de la lumière.In this case, the walls of the vase 2 are not opaque, but transparent or translucent in order to allow the passage of light.

Notamment, le vase 2 de l'ensemble, tel qu'illustré selon l'exemple de la figure 3, est un vase à paroi translucide, voire transparente.In particular, the vessel 2 of the assembly, as illustrated according to the example of the figure 3 , is a vase with a translucent or even transparent wall.

Dans le dispositif d'illumination 3, les sources de lumière 4, notamment les diodes 40 sont disposées sur la surface du boîtier 5, dirigées en regard de la tranche 20 du vase de telle façon qu'une partie de la lumière soit guidée par les parois du vase 2 jusqu'au bord supérieur 21 du vase éclairant ainsi ledit bord supérieur 21.In the illumination device 3, the light sources 4, in particular the diodes 40 are arranged on the surface of the housing 5, directed opposite the edge 20 of the vase so that part of the light is guided by the walls of the vase 2 up to the upper edge 21 of the vase thus illuminating said upper edge 21.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 8 et 10, le dispositif d'illumination 3 peut comprendre, outre les sources de lumière 4, notamment les diodes 40, des fibres optiques 10 illuminées par lesdites sources de lumière 4.According to an embodiment illustrated in Figures 8 and 10 , the illumination device 3 can comprise, in addition to the light sources 4, in particular the diodes 40, optical fibers 10 illuminated by said light sources 4.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 9, les fibres optiques 10 s'étendent à partir du boîtier 5, sur la paroi inférieure du vase 2 et les parois latérales du vase. Dans ce mode de réalisation, le vase 2 peut être à paroi opaque, transparente ou translucide. Afin que le poids du vase ne repose pas sur les fibres 10,des pieds 23, sont disposés de manière locale sur le fond du vase de manière à constituer des interespaces entre lesdits pieds 23, autorisant le libre passage des fibres optiques 10.In the example of the figure 9 , the optical fibers 10 extend from the housing 5, on the bottom wall of the vase 2 and the side walls of the vase. In this embodiment, the vessel 2 can have an opaque, transparent or translucent wall. So that the weight of the vase does not rest on the fibers 10, feet 23 are arranged locally on the bottom of the vase so as to form spaces between said feet 23, allowing the free passage of the optical fibers 10.

Les moyens d'alimentation, notamment piles 11 et batteries, disposées intérieures au boîtier 5 peuvent être rechargeables.The supply means, in particular batteries 11 and batteries, disposed inside the housing 5 can be rechargeable.

Ces piles 11 ou batteries peuvent être rechargées dans le boîtier 5. Le boîtier présentant à cet effet une connectique électrique adaptée destinée à coopérer électriquement avec un socle de recharge 12 reliée électriquement à un transformateur 13 destiné à être branché sur le réseau électrique. Pour recharger les moyens d'alimentation du boîtier, il suffit alors de poser l'ensemble 1 sur son socle de recharge.These cells 11 or batteries can be recharged in the housing 5. The housing having for this purpose a suitable electrical connection intended to cooperate electrically with a charging base 12 electrically connected to a transformer 13 intended to be connected to the electrical network. To recharge the supply means of the housing, it suffices to place the assembly 1 on its charging base.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de réalisation auraient pu être envisagés par l'homme du métier sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications ci-après.Naturally, other embodiments could have been envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
