Definitions

  • the invention relates to a light diffuser housing, and to a method of using such a housing.
  • the use of a headlamp is less convenient because the directional beam of the lamp does not illuminate a wide space.
  • the focus of the beam is also annoying when a user looks at someone because the person is dazzled.
  • the headlamp is often suspended or placed on the ground so as not to dazzle anyone, which is not suitable either because the illuminated area is not the one that users need to see.
  • the company Mammut has marketed a flexible and translucent bag that can act as both a storage cover and light diffuser.
  • the large volume of the bag can store not only the lamp, but also other useful accessories for mountain activities.
  • the bag To be used as a light diffuser, the bag must first be emptied and closed.
  • the front strap of the lamp should be removed and secured to an external strap of the bag, so that the lighting system shines light towards the inside of the bag.
  • the fact that the bag is translucent makes it possible to obtain a diffuse light.
  • Another light diffuser is marketed by Mammut. It is a rigid and translucent housing having a removable cover at a first end, and in place of which a headlamp can be installed.
  • the housing has a light reflector positioned within the housing at a second end opposite the first end so as to face the light beam emitted by the lamp.
  • the role of the light reflector is to reflect the light emitted by the lamp towards the side walls of the housing, so that the housing emits a diffuse light.
  • the size and weight of the light diffuser can be troublesome for the user who must wear his equipment during his mountain activities.
  • Another disadvantage is that the diffuser can only be used in combination with a specific headlamp. Indeed, the rigidity of the material forming the housing does not allow to fix a lamp larger than the housing cover. If the lamp is smaller than the housing cover, it is poor and the light beam is not directed to the center of the reflector, which greatly reduces the performance of the light diffuser.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a light and compact multifunctional housing, which acts both as a light diffuser and a protective housing, so as to be useful in any circumstance.
  • the light diffuser can be made of a material chosen from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • the housing may further include a separator separating the cavity into a first housing configured to house the headlamp, and a second housing separate from the first housing, the separator being made of a translucent or transparent material.
  • the separator may be made of a material chosen from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • the light diffuser and the separator can be merged.
  • the separator can be curved so as to form a concave wall in the first housing. It can also be configured to block the movement of the headlamp in the first housing.
  • the envelope of the first housing can be made of an elastically deformable material, so as to allow the ignition and extinguishing of the lamp placed in the housing. More specifically, the envelope of the first housing can be made of a material selected from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • the envelope of the second housing may also be made of a material chosen from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • a housing 2 advantageously comprises an envelope 3 defining a cavity 4.
  • the envelope 3 is provided with a resealable opening 5, which allows the insertion of the headlamp 1 inside the housing 2
  • the opening 5 may for example be closed by means of a zipper.
  • the edges of the opening 5 may be magnetized or provided with a zipper, for example an Eclair® closure, in order to easily open and close the protective case 2.
  • the opening 5 can be placed on the lateral part 3a of the envelope 3, as shown in the figures.
  • the envelope 3 may comprise a bottom 3b serving as a base.
  • the opening 5 may then consist of separation means between the bottom 3b and the lateral portion 3a.
  • the bottom 3b is screwed on the side portion 3a as would be a cover.
  • the housing 2 can be used not only to protect the headlamp 1, but also as a light diffuser (cf. Fig. 2 and 3 ).
  • the protective case 2 advantageously comprises a light diffuser.
  • the latter is arranged on the one hand to receive a light beam emitted by the lamp 1, and on the other hand to spread the beam on the envelope 3 of the housing 2.
  • the light diffuser may for example be brought into contact or placed sufficiently close to the headlamp 1 to prevent it from moving. This also makes it possible to optimize the diffusion of light towards the envelope 3. For this, notches or protruding portions may be provided inside the envelope to wedge the light diffuser in the housing 2.
  • the light diffuser can also be secured to the casing 3 by means of a set of elastics connecting the ends of the light diffuser to the inner wall of the casing 3.
  • the light diffuser is made of a transparent or translucent material.
  • the material may be selected from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • the housing 2 may also comprise a separator 6 advantageously mounted removably in the cavity.
  • the separator 6 may rest on protruding portions of the envelope 3, or be inserted into notches provided on the inner wall of the envelope 3.
  • the first solution may preferably be chosen when the material of the separator 6 is rigid, while the second solution is preferred when the separator 6 can undergo elastic deformation without being weakened.
  • the separator 6 is arranged in such a way that the cavity is separated into a first housing 7, the dimensions of which allow the storage of the headlamp 1, and a second housing 8 configured to allow the transmission of the light emitted by the headlamp 1 towards the outside of the housing 2 through the second housing 8.
  • the position of the separator 6 in the cavity 4 is adapted so that the separator 6 prevents the movement of the headlamp 1 in the first housing 7. In this way, when the headlamp 1 is correctly positioned in the first housing, the performance of the 2 protective housing as light diffuser are optimal.
  • part of the envelope 3 has sections of identical shapes and dimensions, which makes it possible to place the separator 6 in various positions in order to allow the housing of headlamps 1 of different sizes. This makes the case particularly versatile.
  • the casing of the first housing 7 is elastically deformable, to allow the insertion of different forms of headlamps 1.
  • the separator 6 may have a shape adapted to the shape of the headlamp 1 to not damage it.
  • the wall of the separator 6 closing the first housing is concave. This limits the risk of scratching on the optical housing of the lamp 1, which is directed towards the separator 6.
  • the separator 6 is advantageously made of a translucent or transparent material.
  • the material is chosen from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • the light diffuser can be arranged on the one hand to receive a light beam emitted by the lamp 1 from the first housing 7, and on the other hand to diffuse the beam on the envelope of the second housing 8.
  • the light diffuser and the separator 6 may for example be positioned in parallel, and advantageously be against each other to minimize the decrease in light intensity when the passage of the beam from the first housing 7 to the second housing 8. Slots or projecting portions are then provided inside the casing to wedge the light diffuser in the housing 2.
  • the separator 6 and the light diffuser can be formed in a single piece made of two different materials.
  • the separator 6 advantageously corresponds to the wall located on the side of the first housing 7, while the light diffuser corresponds to the wall of the second housing 8.
  • the separator 6 and the light diffuser can also be merged, that is to say be made in one piece formed in a single material.
  • the material is advantageously translucent and diffuses the light preferably throughout the second housing 8.
  • the casing of the second housing 8 is also made of a material that diffuses light. This may be chosen from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes. The material may advantageously be treated against UV.
  • the envelope comprises an elastically deformable zone 9 in the vicinity of the place where the lamp 1 is placed in the cavity 4, so as to enable the latter to switch on and off.
  • the housing comprises a separator 6, the zone 9 elastically deformable is placed on the envelope of the first housing 7.
  • the zone 9 may for example take the form of a push-button. It must then be ensured that the push-button of the headlamp 1 is placed opposite the zone 9.
  • the entire envelope of the first housing 7 can advantageously be made of elastically deformable material, so that the headlamp 1 can be placed in any way in the first housing provided that the lighting zone is directed towards the separator 6 , and therefore to the second housing 8.
  • the envelope of the first housing 7 may be made of a material selected from the family of thermoplastic polyurethanes.
  • the material of the first housing 7 can be treated against UV so that it degrades less quickly in case of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet.
  • the housing 2 it is conceivable to use the same material to form the envelope 3, and the separator 6 which is coincident with the light diffuser.
  • the material must be both translucent, light diffusing and elastically deformable.
  • the housing 2 may advantageously be provided with a strap (not shown) fixed for example on the outer wall of the bottom 3b.
  • the strap may also be located on the side portion 3a of the casing 3, but this configuration is not optimal because it prevents the diffusion of light in the area where it is attached. Whatever the position of the strap on the housing 2, it can facilitate the attachment of the housing 2 to a bag.
  • the housing 2 may for example be secured to a ventral clamping strap of a backpack.
  • the housing 2 may also include a hook (not shown) on the outer face of the casing 3 to allow its suspension.
  • a hook not shown
  • the housing 2 can act as a lantern and illuminates the environment with a diffuse light. This is particularly enjoyable when many people share this time off, because if users wear their head on their head, they dazzle each other as soon as they look at each other.
  • the protective housing 2 As a light diffuser, it is first necessary to insert the headlamp 1 in the cavity 4 and position it so that it emits light towards the envelope 3. The diffuser of The light is then positioned inside the cavity 4 and held against the headlamp 1. The housing 2 can then be closed, and the headlamp 1 can be turned on by pressing on the region 9 elastically deformable. It is then sufficient to place or suspend the housing 2 at the level of the space to be illuminated. When the user no longer needs to be illuminated, the headlamp 1 can be extinguished by pressing the zone 9 again.
  • the separator 6 can be added to improve the maintenance of the headlamp 1 in a given area.
  • the separator 6 and the light diffuser can be positioned inside the cavity by wedging them in the notches or on the projecting portions provided for this purpose.
  • a protective housing 2 such as that just described is particularly advantageous because the housing 2 performs several roles at a time. Not only the housing 2 protects the lamp, but it can also serve as a backup lamp when the user needs a diffuse light, for example in bivouac. The user no longer needs to multiply the headlamp accessories, which represents both a gain in weight and space.
