Abstract

A lighting device (1) comprises a support stem (4), an optical group (6) which can be connected to a light source, supported by the stem (4) and a bell (8) annular to house the optical group (6). The bell comprises a plurality of components (10a, 10b) connectable to each other to form its lateral annular wall.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a modular lighting device.
  • The decorative lighting sector is characterised by great efforts to innovate, both from an aesthetic point of view, with the constant search for new forms, and from a technical and functional point of view, often supporting such new aesthetic trends.
  • One tendency is to give the buyer the chance to personalise the product, so as to give the impression of participating in the creation of the product, for example adapting it to his/her tastes or furnishing requirements.
  • The purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular lighting device.
  • Such purpose is achieved by a lighting device made according to claim 1.
  • The characteristics and advantages of the lighting device according to the present invention will be evident from the description below, made by way of a non-limiting example in accordance with the appended drawings wherein:
  • - figure 1 shows a lighting device according to the present invention, in one embodiment;
  • - figure 2 shows a lighting device according to the present invention, according to a further embodiment;
  • - figure 3 shows the modular portion of the device in figure 1, in separate parts;
  • - figure 4 shows the modular portion of the device in figure 2, in separate parts.
  • With reference to the appended drawings, reference number 1 globally denotes a lighting device according to embodiments of the present invention.
  • According to one embodiment, the lighting device is a floor or table lamp; according to further embodiments, the lighting device is a hanging or wall-mounted lamp.
  • For example, the lighting device 1 comprises a base 2 for support on the ground, a stem 4, an optical group 6 which can be connected to the mains and to a light source, and a bell 8 covering the optical group 6 (figure 1).
  • According to further embodiments, the stem 4 is suitable for hanging the device 1 to the ceiling (figure 3); for example, the device comprises at least two stems 4 (figure 2).
  • Preferably, the stem 4 extends along a rectilinear stem axis Z.
  • The bell 8 comprises a plurality of components, which can be connected to each other to form said bell in the shape of an annular wall closed around the stem axis Z.
  • The components are preferably of two types: arched components 10a and straight components 10b.
  • The arched components 10a comprise a wall having an extension along the stem axis, arched in an annular section, that is, realised with an imaginary plane orthogonal to the stem axis Z.
  • Preferably, the arched component 10a has an angular extension between 45° and 90°, preferably 90°.
  • The straight components 10b comprise a wall having an extension along the stem axis Z, substantially rectilinear in an annular section, that is, realised with an imaginary plane orthogonal to the stem axis Z.
  • According to a preferred embodiment, the components 10a, 10b are annularly delimited by jagged edges 12, preferably defined by an axial succession of peaks and valleys, overlappable with each other, so as to enable a shaped coupling of the components.
  • Preferably, in addition, the components 10a, 10b comprise a lower projection 14, which extends axially to an annular edge of the component, and an upper prominence 16, which extends axially to the other annular edge of the component.
  • The projection 14 of a first component is overlappable and couplable to the prominence 16 of an adjacent component, so as to form the continuous wall of the bell 8.
  • According to one embodiment; the bell 8 is made exclusively from arched components 10a (figures 1 and 3). In such embodiment, the bell has a substantially circular shape around the stem axis Z and is composed, for example, of four arched components 10a, each having an angular extension of 90°.
  • According to a further embodiment, the bell is made from arched components 10a and from straight components 10b.
  • For example, according to one embodiment (figures 2 and 4), the bell is composed of four arched components 10a and of eight straight components 10b, four per side, so as to define a bell of an elongated shape.
  • Innovatively, the lighting device according to the present invention allows the purchaser to customise the aesthetics of such device.
  • In particular, the invention makes it possible to customise the aesthetics of the bell of the device, which is often the element which distinguishes it.
  • Advantageously, in addition, the invention allows the manufacturer to propose a plurality of lighting devices in the catalogue, while at the same time limiting the number of components needed to make them.
  • It is clear that a person skilled in the art may make variations to the lighting device described above so as to satisfy contingent requirements, while remaining within the scope of protection as defined by the following claims.
