Un dispositif électronique 1 représenté sur les
Dans la chambre 5 est installée une carte électronique 6, maintenue par exemple par conjugaison de formes, dans une position telle qu'elle est située à distance d'une paroi frontale 7 du couvercle 4 et parallèlement à cette dernière.In the
La carte électronique 6 porte, du côté de la paroi frontale 7, un élément lumineux 8, tel qu'une diode électroluminescente, et un commutateur électrique 9, tel qu'un bouton poussoir, situé à proximité de l'élément lumineux 8.The
La paroi frontale 7 du couvercle 4 présente une ouverture 10 aménagée en face de l'élément lumineux 8, dont le bord périphérique forme un épaulement tronconique 10a tourné du côté de la chambre 5.The
L'ouverture 10 est recouverte par une plaque 11 en une matière transparente ou translucide, se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'un disque. Le bord périphérique 11a de la plaque 11 est en appui de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur sur le bord périphérique 10a de l'ouverture 10 par conjugaison de formes.The
Dans la chambre 5 est placé un organe intermédiaire 12 qui s'étend entre la carte électronique 6 et la paroi frontale 7 du couvercle 4.In the
Comme illustré sur les
L'organe intermédiaire 12 est par exemple en une matière plastique et est tel que, si la partie de fixation 16 est tenue et la partie conique 13 est sollicitée par une pression par exemple sur la partie annulaire 15, la partie conique 13 peut être déplacée en déformant la branche de liaison 17 et/ou les jonctions entre cette dernière et la partie annulaire 15 et/ou la partie de fixation 16, à l'encontre de son élasticité de la matière, depuis une position neutre et, sur une course relativement faible, selon approximativement l'axe de la partie conique 13.The
Comme illustré sur les
La partie conique 13 est située entre la carte électronique 6 et la plaque 11. Son axe s'étend perpendiculairement à la carte électronique 6 et à la paroi frontale 7 et passe sensiblement au milieu de l'élément lumineux 8 et de la plaque 11.The
L'ouverture de la partie conique 13 est tournée du côté de la plaque 11 et la partie annulaire 15 est en appui contre la partie périphérique de la face intérieure de la plaque 11. Ainsi, la plaque 11 est interposée et maintenue par conjugaison de formes entre la paroi frontale 7 du couvercle 4 et l'organe intermédiaire 12.The opening of the
Le sommet 13a de la partie conique 13 est situé du côté et à faible distance de la carte électronique 6. L'élément lumineux 8 est en face du trou traversant 14 et pénètre éventuellement dans ce dernier, librement.The top 13a of the
La partie de fixation 16 est accouplée à la paroi frontale 7 du couvercle 4. Par exemple, la paroi frontale 7 et la partie de fixation 16 présentent respectivement deux trous de maintien 20 et deux parties en saillie de maintien 21 engagées à force les unes dans les autres perpendiculairement à la paroi frontale 7.The
La portion en saillie 19 est située au-dessus du commutateur électrique 5 et ne sollicite pas ce dernier.The protruding
Les pattes de soutien 18 sont engagées dans des logements 22 aménagés sur la paroi frontale 7 du couvercle 4. Les extrémités des pattes 18 sont, localement, en appui sur des portions 22a de ces logements 22 opposées à la paroi frontale 7The
Ainsi, la partie conique 13 est montée sur la paroi frontale 7 en porte-à-faux ou suspendue par rapport à sa partie de fixation 16 et par rapport aux pattes de soutien 18 et la partie annulaire 15 exerce une faible pression sur la plaque 11 dans le sens de son appui sur la paroi frontale 7, sous l'effet d'une faible déformation élastique de la branche de liaison 17 et des pattes de soutien 18 et/ou de leurs jonctions avec la partie annulaire 15 et/ou la partie de fixation 16. La partie conique 13 et sa portion en saillie d'actionnement 19 sont mobiles depuis ladite position de repos.Thus, the
Si maintenant un utilisateur exerce une pression de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur sur la face extérieure de la plaque 11, cette pression engendre un déplacement de la plaque 11 et de la partie conique 13 vers la carte électronique 6 et vers une position d'actionnement, par exemple sur une faible course, en déformant élastiquement la branche de liaison 17 et les pattes de soutien 18 et/ou de leurs jonctions avec la partie annulaire 15 et/ou la partie de fixation 16 à l'encontre de leur élasticité. Ce faisant, la portion en saillie 19 vient actionner le commutateur électrique 9. La course de la partie conique 13 peut être limitée par le fait que le sommet 13a de la partie conique 13 vient en appui sur la carte électronique 6.If now a user exerts a pressure from outside to inside on the outer face of the
Quand l'utilisateur relâche la pression sur la plaque 11, cette dernière et la partie conique 13 reviennent à leur position de repos décrite plus haut grâce à l'élasticité des parties déformées de l'organe intermédiaire 12.When the user releases the pressure on the
La paroi frontale 7, la plaque 11 et l'organe intermédiaire 12 sont agencés par conjugaisons de formes de telle sorte que la plaque soit maintenue et guidée entre ladite position de repos et ladite position d'actionnement.The
La carte électronique 6 est munie en outre d'un capteur de lumière 23 situé du côté de la partie conique 13 de l'organe intermédiaire 12 et à distance de l'élément lumineux 8 et du commutateur électrique 9. La partie conique 13 présente une partie en saillie 24 au travers de laquelle est aménagé un trou traversant 25 situé au-dessus du capteur de lumière 23, de telle sorte que le capteur de lumière 23 est sensible à la lumière extérieure traversant la plaque 11.The
I1 résulte de ce qui précède que la lumière émise par l'élément lumineux 8 se diffuse dans la partie conique 13 vers la plaque 11, directement et par réflexion sur la surface intérieure réfléchissante de la partie conique 13, traverse la plaque 11 et se diffuse à l'extérieur à l'avant du boîtier 2. La lumière émise peut alors éclairer l'espace environnant le boîtier 2.It follows from the above that the light emitted by the
L'activation du commutateur électrique 5 par un utilisateur peut avoir pour objet de programmer ou paramétrer la carte électronique 6 et/ou d'effectuer des tests de cette dernière et/ou d'activer l'élément lumineux 8. Le boîtier 2 peut être équipé de voyants lumineux de signalisation.The activation of the
Selon une application particulière, le dispositif électronique 1 peut être équipé d'un organe de détection 25 disposé par exemple au-dessous de la carte électronique et relié à cette dernière.According to a particular application, the
Le boîtier 2 peut être installé au plafond d'un espace à surveiller, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un socle de fixation, la paroi frontale 7 étant orientée vers le bas et l'embase 3 présentant des passages d'aération 26 pour que l'air ambiant atteigne l'organe de détection 25.The
L'organe de détection 25 peut être un détecteur de fumée, un détecteur de gaz dangereux, un détecteur de rayonnements dangereux, un détecteur de chaleur, de froid, d'humidité, d'eau (inondation) ou un détecteur de coupure de courant, un détecteur de séisme, ou un détecteur de présence. Le dispositif électronique 1 pourrait être équipé de plusieurs organes de détection différents.The
La carte électronique 6 peut être programmée pour activer l'élément lumineux 8 sous certaines conditions.The
Par exemple, si la carte électronique 6 reçoit un signal de détection issu de l'organe de détection 25 signifiant la présence d'un danger, la carte électronique 6 engendre non seulement l'émission d'un signal d'avertissement sonore et/ou d'un signal, par exemple radio, vers un autre dispositif d'avertissement, mais également, peut activer l'élément lumineux 8 pour que l'espace situé au-dessous du boîtier 2 soit éclairé au bénéfice des personnes se trouvant dans l'espace surveillé. Selon un autre exemple, la défaillance des piles d'alimentation de la carte électronique 6 peut être signalée en activant l'élément lumineux 8.For example, if the
Le dispositif électronique 1 peut présenter notamment les variantes de réalisation suivantes.The
Les pattes de soutien 18 pourraient être inexistantes.The
Pour suspendre élastiquement la partie conique 13 de l'organe intermédiaire 12, la branche de liaison 17 et la partie de fixation 16 pourraient être remplacées par des pattes de soutien équivalentes aux pattes de soutien 18.To elastically suspend the
L'organe intermédiaire 12 pourrait présenter une partie complémentaire accessible de l'extérieur, s'étendant par exemple latéralement à la plaque 11 dans l'épaisseur de la paroi frontale 7, de telle sorte qu'un utilisateur pourrait exercer une pression sur cette partie complémentaire pour déformer élastiquement l'organe intermédiaire 12 et activer le commutateur électrique 9.The
La portion en saillie 19 pourrait être aménagée en un autre endroit de l'organe intermédiaire 12, par exemple sur la branche de liaison 17, le commutateur électrique 9 étant placé en conséquence sur la carte électronique 6.The protruding
La présente invention ne se limite pas aux exemples ci-dessus décrits. Bien des variantes de réalisation sont possibles sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The present invention is not limited to the examples described above. Many alternative embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
