Description

L'invention concerne le domaine de l'éclairage mobile (nomade) et portatif, en particulier l'éclairage du type baladeuse.The invention relates to the field of mobile (nomadic) and portable lighting, in particular lighting of the portable type.

Une baladeuse est notamment utilisée dans le bâtiment pour éclairer un chantier, permettant à l'utilisateur de rendre aisément mobile son éclairage afin de s'adapter à chaque situation.A portable lamp is used in particular in the building industry to illuminate a construction site, allowing the user to easily make his lighting mobile in order to adapt to each situation.

Usuellement, une baladeuse doit être aisément transportable, pouvoir fonctionner sur batteries ou pouvoir être branchée électriquement sur le secteur, et pouvoir éclairer depuis une certaine hauteur. Parmi les différents modèles de baladeuses existants, on distingue les baladeuses filaires à éclairage fixe et dotées d'un système de suspension, les baladeuses compactes à batterie, comprenant un éclairage fixe et une anse qui autorise une fixation en hauteur de la baladeuse par suspension de l'anse, et celles sous la forme d'un boîtier bien plus imposant stockant une ou plusieurs batteries d'alimentation, destiné à être posé à même le sol, et rangeant un éclairage qui est solidaire d'un mât télescopique afin d'agencer l'éclairage à une certaine hauteur.Usually, a portable lamp must be easily transportable, be able to operate on batteries or be able to be electrically connected to the mains, and be able to illuminate from a certain height. Among the various existing models of handlamps, a distinction is made between corded handlamps with fixed lighting and fitted with a suspension system, compact battery-powered handlamps, including fixed lighting and a handle which allows the handlamp to be fixed at a height by suspending the handle, and those in the form of a much more imposing box storing one or more power batteries, intended to be placed on the floor, and storing a lighting which is integral with a telescopic mast in order to arrange lighting at a certain height.

Cependant, ces éclairages portables ou portatifs, présentent plusieurs inconvénients.However, these portable or portable lights have several drawbacks.

Ces éclairages sont limités dans leur utilisation :

  • Le dispositif filaire nécessite d'avoir à disposition un branchement sur un réseau de distribution électrique, et limite le déplacement de l'utilisateur sur le chantier en raison de la longueur imposée du fil électrique, ou ne permet pas, en raison du fil, un déplacement aisé sur un chantier qui peut être encombré.
  • Le dispositif sur batterie avec anse est certes peu encombrant, mais il ne peut qu'être suspendu ; il est nécessaire d'avoir sur place un élément d'accrochage à disposition.
  • Le dispositif avec mât télescopique est transportable mais est bien trop lourd et encombrant pour être gardé à la main pour un éclairage ponctuel dont aurait besoin l'utilisateur en gardant à la main le dispositif. De plus, le dispositif avec mât télescopique est volumineux vis-à-vis de son boîtier-embase afin de stocker suffisamment de batteries, ce qui ne permet pas de l'agencer dans certains recoins étroits d'une pièce.
These lights are limited in their use:
  • The wired device requires having a connection to an electrical distribution network available, and limits the movement of the user on the site due to the imposed length of the electrical wire, or does not allow, because of the wire, a easy movement on a construction site which can be congested.
  • The battery-powered device with handle is certainly not bulky, but it can only be suspended; it is necessary to have an attachment element available on site.
  • The device with telescopic mast is transportable but is far too heavy and bulky to be kept in the hand for the occasional lighting that the user would need while keeping the device in his hand. In addition, the device with telescopic mast is bulky vis-à-vis its housing-base in order to store enough batteries, which does not allow it to be arranged in certain narrow corners of a room.

En outre, pour les dispositifs fonctionnant sur batteries, cela engendre le risque de ne plus éclairer en cas de batterie à plat, ou implique de devoir avoir à disposition systématiquement une ou des batteries chargées de remplacement, ce qui ne simplifie pas l'organisation sur un chantier.In addition, for devices operating on batteries, this creates the risk of no longer lighting in the event of a flat battery, or involves having to systematically have one or more charged replacement batteries available, which does not simplify organization on a building site.

Un dispositif d'éclairage selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est divulgué dans le document EP 2 146 136 A1 .A lighting device according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in document EP 2 146 136 A1 .

L'invention a donc pour but de palier les inconvénients précités en proposant un dispositif d'éclairage mobile permettant d'éclairer en hauteur, tout en étant facile de mise en oeuvre, ayant un encombrement qui autorise un éclairage permettant de rester si besoin au plus près de l'utilisateur, voire pouvoir être gardé à la main, et garantissant nécessairement son fonctionnement alors même que l'éclairage est sur batterie.The object of the invention is therefore to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a mobile lighting device making it possible to illuminate overhead, while being easy to implement, having a size which allows lighting making it possible to remain, if necessary, at most close to the user, or even able to be kept in the hand, and necessarily guaranteeing its operation even when the lighting is on battery power.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif d'éclairage mobile est conforme à la revendication 1. En particulier, le dispositif d'éclairage mobile comporte un éclairage, et un support pour l'éclairage permettant d'agencer en hauteur l'éclairage et étant également à fonction de rangement pour l'éclairage, le dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que l'éclairage est amovible par rapport au support et loge sa propre alimentation électrique (rechargeable), et en ce que le support présente un corps qui comporte, d'une part, un logement de rangement apte à accueillir l'éclairage qui peut si besoin être allumé en position installée dans le logement, et d'autre part, deux pieds aptes à adopter deux positions, une position de rangement et une position fonctionnelle, les deux pieds, lorsqu'ils sont en position fonctionnelle, formant avec le corps du support un trépied qui comprend une tête sur laquelle est apte à être fixé de manière amovible l'éclairage qui a été sorti de son logement. Les pieds peuvent être amovibles par rapport au corps du support, ou bien peuvent être solidaires du corps du support et pliables/dépliables.According to the invention, the mobile lighting device is in accordance with claim 1. In particular, the mobile lighting device comprises lighting, and a support for the lighting making it possible to arrange the lighting in height and also being with a storage function for the lighting, the device being characterized in that the lighting is removable with respect to the support and houses its own electric power supply (rechargeable), and in that the support has a body which comprises, on one on the one hand, a storage housing capable of accommodating the lighting which can if necessary be switched on in the position installed in the housing, and on the other hand, two feet capable of adopting two positions, a storage position and a functional position, the two feet, when they are in the functional position, forming with the body of the support a tripod which comprises a head on which the lighting which has been taken out of its housing can be removably fixed. The feet can be removable relative to the body of the support, or can be integral with the body of the support and foldable/unfoldable.

Par conséquent, le dispositif d'éclairage mobile de l'invention procure un éclairage multi-positions et utilisations : l'amovibilité de l'éclairage par rapport au support permet le détachement de l'éclairage qui peut alors être aisément gardé en main, sans être lourd et encombrant, pouvant si besoin être utilisé dans des recoins d'une pièce difficilement accessibles, tout en garantissant un éclairement, puisqu'il inclut sa propre alimentation électrique du type batterie. En outre, l'éclairage peut être positionné en hauteur grâce à son support de rangement qui se transforme en trépied et au niveau de la tête duquel est monté l'éclairage. Par ailleurs, même lorsque le support est installé en trépied, l'éclairage peut rester en place dans le logement du support et être allumé, procurant une orientation d'éclairement différente. Enfin, le support sans être transformé en trépied peut être agencé sur une surface avec l'éclairage rangé et allumé, fournissant encore une autre orientation d'éclairement. Lorsque le support n'est pas transformé en trépied, il conserve alors un encombrement qui n'a pas besoin de s'étendre en hauteur, ce qui peut être pratique dans certaines situations.Consequently, the mobile lighting device of the invention provides multi-position lighting and uses: the removability of the lighting relative to the support allows the detachment of the lighting which can then be easily kept in hand, without be heavy and bulky, can if necessary be used in corners of a room that are difficult to access, while guaranteeing lighting, since it includes its own battery-type power supply. In addition, the lighting can be positioned in height thanks to its storage support which converts into a tripod and at the level of the head of which the lighting is mounted. Moreover, even when the support is installed as a tripod, the lighting can remain in place in the housing of the support and be switched on, providing a different orientation of illumination. Finally, the stand without being transformed into a tripod can be arranged on a surface with the lighting stored and turned on, providing yet another orientation of illumination. When the stand is not converted into a tripod, then it retains a footprint that does not need to extend in height, which can be handy in some situations.

Selon une caractéristique, le support présente une forme allongée (oblongue) de grandeur équivalente à celle des deux pieds afin de fournir le trépied.According to one characteristic, the support has an elongated (oblong) shape of size equivalent to that of the two legs in order to provide the tripod.

Avantageusement, le logement de rangement est agencé dans l'une des surfaces principales (du corps) du support de sorte qu'en position rangée dans le logement, l'éclairage est agencé selon une direction oblique par rapport à la verticale en position installée du trépied et puisse éclairer dans une direction opposée aux pieds.Advantageously, the storage housing is arranged in one of the main surfaces (of the body) of the support so that in the stored position in the housing, the lighting is arranged in a direction oblique to the vertical in the installed position of the tripod and can light in a direction opposite to the feet.

Selon l'invention, le logement de rangement pour l'éclairage se présente sous la forme d'un évidement traversant selon l'épaisseur du corps du support, en particulier l'éclairage étant destiné à être maintenu par coincement dans l'évidement, et de préférence contre des moyens de butée.According to the invention, the storage housing for the lighting is in the form of a recess passing through the thickness of the body of the support, in particular the lighting being intended to be held by wedging in the recess, and preferably against abutment means.

Avantageusement, le logement de rangement comporte des moyens de connexion électrique, tels qu'une paire de contacts électriques, qui sont aptes à coopérer directement avec des moyens de connexion électrique agencés sur l'éclairage par insertion de l'éclairage dans le logement. La paire de contacts électriques du support et les moyens de connexion électrique de l'éclairage sont de préférence directement accessibles extérieurement, et se présentent par exemple sous la forme de surfaces métalliques. Ainsi, il n'y a besoin de ne faire aucun branchement électrique, la connexion électrique s'effectuant directement par contact une fois l'éclairage introduit dans son logement, ce qui est très pratique pour l'utilisateur.Advantageously, the storage housing includes electrical connection means, such as a pair of electrical contacts, which are capable of cooperating directly with electrical connection means arranged on the lighting by inserting the lighting into the housing. The pair of electrical contacts of the support and the electrical connection means of the lighting are preferably directly accessible externally, and are for example in the form of metal surfaces. Thus, there is no need to make any electrical connection, the electrical connection being made directly by contact once the lighting has been inserted into its housing, which is very practical for the user.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le support comporte des moyens d'alimentation électrique ou de recharge pour l'éclairage (lesdits moyens étant agencés de manière interne au corps du support), en particulier au moins une batterie, et un système de connexion filaire pour brancher lesdits moyens d'alimentation électrique sur un réseau de distribution électrique tel que le secteur. Ainsi, dès que l'éclairage est rangé dans son logement, sa propre alimentation électrique (qui fonctionne sur batterie) est directement rechargée par les moyens d'alimentation électrique du support. De plus, le support peut être connecté au secteur permettant de recharger ses moyens d'alimentation électrique, et en conséquence d'alimenter ou recharger la batterie de l'éclairage. Le système de connexion filaire comporte de préférence un cordon électrique qui est solidaire du support (et est relié aux moyens d'alimentation électrique) et le support comprend des moyens de rangement dudit cordon ; en variante, le cordon peut être amovible et se brancher sur une prise du support débouchant à l'extérieur du support et connectée aux moyens d'alimentation électrique.According to another characteristic, the support comprises electrical power supply or recharging means for the lighting (said means being arranged internally to the body of the support), in particular at least one battery, and a wired connection system for connecting said power supply means on an electrical distribution network such as the sector. Thus, as soon as the lighting is stored in its housing, its own power supply (which operates on battery) is directly recharged by the power supply means of the support. In addition, the support can be connected to the mains allowing its power supply means to be recharged, and consequently to supply or recharge the battery of the lighting. The wired connection system preferably comprises an electrical cord which is integral with the support (and is connected to the electrical supply means) and the support comprises means for storing said cord; as a variant, the cord can be removable and can be plugged into a socket on the support opening outside the support and connected to the electrical supply means.

De préférence, le corps du support présente un cadre périphérique qui est doté d'une gorge (sur l'ensemble du pourtour du cadre) adaptée pour recevoir un cordon d'alimentation électrique enroulé, permettant un rangement aisé du cordon.Preferably, the body of the support has a peripheral frame which is provided with a groove (over the entire periphery of the frame) adapted to receive a coiled electrical power cord, allowing easy storage of the cord.

De plus, le support peut comporter une prise électrique connectée aux moyens d'alimentation électrique du support pour se brancher électriquement sur le support et alimenter en électricité un équipement électrique extérieur tel qu'un outil électrique. Cette prise électrique est indépendante du système de connexion filaire pour alimenter en électricité les moyens d'alimentation électrique du support.In addition, the support may include an electrical outlet connected to the power supply means of the support to be electrically connected to the support and to supply electricity to external electrical equipment such as an electric tool. This electrical outlet is independent of the wired connection system for supplying electricity to the power supply means of the support.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le corps du support comporte en l'une de ses extrémités distales formant la tête du trépied une partie en saillie dont le chant supérieur comporte un orifice de réception, tandis que l'éclairage comporte une partie mâle apte à coopérer par insertion dans ledit orifice de réception pour le montage (et la fixation) de l'éclairage sur le trépied. De préférence, les dimensions de la partie mâle et de l'orifice de réception sont adaptées à assurer une fixation par coincement de la partie mâle.According to another characteristic, the body of the support comprises in one of its distal ends forming the head of the tripod a projecting part whose upper edge comprises a receiving orifice, while the lighting comprises a male part capable of cooperating by insertion into said receiving hole for mounting (and fixing) the lighting on the tripod. Preferably, the dimensions of the male part and of the receiving orifice are adapted to ensure fixing by wedging of the male part.

On entend dans la suite de la description par « supérieur » et « inférieur », les qualificatifs d'un élément du dispositif d'éclairage de l'invention, considérés lorsque le support du dispositif est installé en position de trépied sur une surface horizontale.In the remainder of the description, the terms “upper” and “lower” are understood to mean the qualifiers of an element of the lighting device of the invention, considered when the support of the device is installed in the tripod position on a horizontal surface.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'éclairage comporte deux parties (de préférence allongées) pliables l'une par rapport à l'autre (autour d'un axe de pivotement transversal à la direction longitudinale des parties), au moins l'une des parties comprenant la fonction d'éclairage (étant éclairante par au moins l'une de ses faces principales), tandis que l'autre partie forme une embase de soutènement et/ou de fixation et loge une alimentation électrique rechargeable (du type batterie), les deux parties étant destinées à être repliées l'une contre l'autre pour pouvoir ranger l'éclairage dans le logement du dispositif d'éclairage.According to another characteristic, the lighting comprises two parts (preferably elongated) foldable relative to each other (around a pivot axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the parts), at least one of the parts comprising the lighting function (being illuminating by at least one of its main faces), while the other part forms a support and/or fixing base and houses a rechargeable power supply (of the battery type), the two parts being intended to be folded against each other in order to be able to store the lighting in the housing of the device 'lighting.

En particulier, l'embase comporte en l'une de ses extrémité distales libres (opposée à l'axe de pivotement), d'une part, deux pieds pour le maintien debout seul de l'éclairage sur une surface plane, et d'autre part, sans dépasser des pieds, une partie mâle à fonction de fixation de l'éclairage sur le trépied du dispositif, et de préférence à fonction de suspension et/ou d'accrochage de l'éclairage indépendamment de sa fixation sur le support du dispositif.In particular, the base comprises at one of its free distal ends (opposite to the pivot axis), on the one hand, two feet for maintaining the lighting standing alone on a flat surface, and on the other hand, without protruding from the feet, a male part with the function of fixing the lighting on the tripod of the device, and preferably with the function of suspending and/or attaching the lighting independently of its fixing on the support of the device.

Les parties pliables sont dépliables l'une par rapport à l'autre au moins jusqu'à 180° voire 200°, ce qui permet d'agencer l'éclairage, que celui-ci soit ou non sur le trépied, selon de multiples positions permettant d'adapter aisément la direction de l'éclairement aux besoins de l'utilisateur.The foldable parts can be unfolded relative to each other at least up to 180° or even 200°, which makes it possible to arrange the lighting, whether or not it is on the tripod, according to multiple positions making it easy to adapt the direction of the illumination to the needs of the user.

En position totalement dépliée des deux parties, la partie de soutènement permet d'étendre en hauteur la partie à fonction d'éclairage, donc d'étendre en hauteur cette dite partie d'éclairage.In the fully unfolded position of the two parts, the retaining part makes it possible to extend the height of the part with the lighting function, therefore to extend the height of this so-called lighting part.

Avantageusement, l'éclairage peut comporter, en particulier dans son embase, des moyens de fixation par aimantation.Advantageously, the lighting may comprise, in particular in its base, means of fixing by magnetization.

Selon une caractéristique, l'embase loge en son intérieur une batterie d'alimentation électrique, et comporte en extérieur des contacts électriques pour recharger la batterie, en particulier ces contacts électriques étant destinés à coopérer directement avec des contacts électriques prévus sur le support du dispositif qui assurera le rechargement de la batterie.According to one characteristic, the base houses an electric power supply battery inside it, and comprises electric contacts on the outside for recharging the battery, in particular these electric contacts being intended to cooperate directly with electric contacts provided on the support of the device which will recharge the battery.

De préférence, l'éclairage présente une forme générale parallélépipédique rectangle, en particulier en position repliée.Preferably, the lighting has a generally rectangular parallelepipedic shape, in particular in the folded position.

De préférence, l'éclairage comporte des zones périphériques externes qui font saillie par rapport au reste du corps de l'éclairage et sont dotées d'un revêtement en matière plastique élastique, tel qu'en poly-styrène-butadiène-styrène (SBS). Ces zones permettent de protéger l'éclairage en position repliée. Elles permettent également d'assurer une fixation par coincement sensiblement élastique de l'éclairage dans le logement du support.Preferably, the light has outer peripheral areas which protrude from the rest of the body of the light and are provided with a coating of elastic plastic material, such as poly-styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). . These areas allow to protect the lighting in the folded position. They also make it possible to ensure a fixing by substantially elastic wedging of the lighting in the housing of the support.

Enfin, l'éclairage comporte un bouton marche/arrêt, de préférence positionné dans l'embase en étant accessible pour un utilisateur (sur la face externe de l'embase) en position repliée de l'embase contre la partie à fonction d'éclairage, et de préférence comprenant des moyens de visualisation de l'état de charge de l'alimentation électrique rechargeable dudit éclairage.Finally, the lighting comprises an on/off button, preferably positioned in the base while being accessible for a user (on the external face of the base) in the folded position of the base against the part with lighting function , and preferably comprising means for displaying the state of charge of the rechargeable power supply of said lighting.

Le dispositif d'éclairage mobile 1 de l'invention illustré sur les figures est en particulier destiné à être utilisé sur des chantiers dans le bâtiment, sans toutefois y être limité.The mobile lighting device 1 of the invention illustrated in the figures is in particular intended for use on building sites, without however being limited thereto.

Le dispositif d'éclairage mobile 1 de l'invention a pour but d'être aisément transportable et de pouvoir selon les situations, disposer son éclairage en hauteur soit en étant posé, soit en étant suspendu, ou disposer l'éclairage sur toute surface, y compris au plus près du sol, ou pouvoir garder l'éclairage à la main en toute facilité sans encombrement et sans être lourd à porter, ou encore agencer l'éclairage sans gêne dans des endroits étroits.The purpose of the mobile lighting device 1 of the invention is to be easily transportable and to be able, depending on the situation, to arrange its lighting in height either by being placed or by being suspended, or to arrange the lighting on any surface, even as close as possible to the ground, or being able to keep the lighting in your hand easily without bulk and without being heavy to carry, or even arranging the lighting without hindrance in narrow places.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif d'éclairage mobile 1 comporte un support 2 et un éclairage 3 qui est amovible par rapport au support et fonctionne sur batterie, le corps du support 2 étant à fonction de rangement pour l'éclairage (figure 1), et permettant d'agencer en hauteur l'éclairage 2 (figure 2) en formant, via deux pieds 40 et 41, un trépied. L'éclairage 3 en position rangée dans son support peut être ou non allumé, et par conséquent peut assurer si besoin sa fonction d'éclairage. De plus, la position rangée de l'éclairage permet d'alimenter électriquement l'éclairage 3 et/ou de le recharger via le support 2.According to the invention, the mobile lighting device 1 comprises a support 2 and lighting 3 which is removable with respect to the support and operates on battery power, the body of the support 2 having a storage function for the lighting ( figure 1 ), and making it possible to arrange the lighting 2 ( picture 2 ) by forming, via two feet 40 and 41, a tripod. The lighting 3 in the stowed position in its support may or may not be on, and therefore can perform its lighting function if necessary. In addition, the stowed position of the lighting makes it possible to power the lighting 3 electrically and/or to recharge it via the support 2.

L'éclairage 3 loge au sein de son corps sa batterie d'alimentation. Ainsi, comme l'éclairage est amovible par rapport au support 2, il reste autonome et peut fonctionner sans être connecté électriquement au support.Lighting 3 houses its power battery within its body. Thus, as the lighting is removable relative to the support 2, it remains independent and can operate without being electrically connected to the support.

L'amovibilité de l'éclairage 3 permet de l'agencer de manière appropriée à la situation d'utilisation. L'éclairage 3 en tant que tel (sans son support) est ainsi portatif ; l'utilisateur peut mettre en oeuvre l'éclairage en délaissant le support 2, lui permettant par exemple de poser l'éclairage directement sur une surface telle qu'un sol, de l'agencer dans un recoin, et/ou d'être au plus près d'une zone à éclairer. Comme il sera vu plus loin, l'éclairage 3 est apte également à être suspendu ou accroché, indépendamment du support 2. Enfin, son amovibilité permet de le sortir de son rangement hors du support 2 et de l'agencer et le fixer sur le support 2 dans une position surélevée par rapport audit support (figure 2).The removability of the lighting 3 makes it possible to arrange it appropriately to the situation of use. Lighting 3 as such (without its support) is thus portable; the user can implement the lighting by abandoning the support 2, allowing him for example to place the lighting directly on a surface such as a floor, to arrange it in a corner, and/or to be as close as possible to an area to be lit. As will be seen later, the lighting 3 is also able to be suspended or hung, independently of the support 2. Finally, its removability allows it to be taken out of its storage outside of the support 2 and to arrange it and fix it on the support 2 in a raised position relative to said support ( figure 2 ).

En regard en particulier des figures 1 à 4, le support 2 comporte un corps de forme oblongue avec deux extrémités opposées, l'une dite inférieure 2A et l'autre dite supérieure 2B. Le corps présente de préférence une forme générale parallélépipédique. L'extrémité inférieure 2A est destinée à reposer sur le sol lorsque le dispositif est mis dans sa position de trépied, tandis que l'extrémité supérieure 2B située alors en hauteur est destinée à supporter l'éclairage 3. Le corps du support 2 comporte deux faces générales opposées, une face dite avant 2C aisément accessible à l'utilisateur en position installée de trépied, et une face dite arrière 2D et avec laquelle coopèrent les pieds 40 et 41. Les deux faces opposées 2C et 2D sont reliées par un cadre périphérique 20.In particular with regard to figures 1 to 4 , the support 2 comprises a body of oblong shape with two opposite ends, one called lower 2A and the other called upper 2B. The body preferably has a generally parallelepipedic shape. The lower end 2A is intended to rest on the ground when the device is placed in its tripod position, while the upper end 2B then located in height is intended to support the lighting 3. The body of the support 2 comprises two opposite general faces, a so-called front face 2C easily accessible to the user in the installed tripod position, and a so-called rear face 2D and with which the feet 40 and 41 cooperate. The two opposite faces 2C and 2D are connected by a peripheral frame 20.

Le support 2 comprend une partie pleine 21 logeant un bloc d'alimentation électrique et de charge électrique, et une partie évidée 22 pour le rangement de l'éclairage 3. La partie évidée 22 comprend un évidement traversant 23 dont les dimensions et la géométrie sont adaptées pour constituer un logement d'accueil/de rangement pour l'éclairage 3, l'éclairage en position rangée dans l'évidement ne faisant pas saillie hors du corps du support. L'évidement 23 est traversant de manière à favoriser pour la batterie de l'éclairage 3, les échanges thermiques avec l'extérieur, en particulier l'évacuation des calories et donc le refroidissement de l'éclairage, lorsque l'éclairage est logé dans ledit évidement et qu'il est ou a été en fonctionnement. Comme il sera vu plus loin, l'éclairage 3 est selon l'invention pliable et dépliable ; dans le logement d'accueil/l'évidement 23, l'éclairage 3 est dans l'une de ses positions pliées, position qui est dite position repliée.The support 2 comprises a solid part 21 housing an electric power supply and electric load unit, and a recessed part 22 for storing the lighting 3. The recessed part 22 comprises a through recess 23 whose dimensions and geometry are adapted to constitute a reception/storage housing for the lighting 3, the lighting in the stowed position in the recess not projecting out of the body of the support. The recess 23 passes through so as to promote, for the battery of the lighting 3, the heat exchanges with the outside, in particular the evacuation of the calories and therefore the cooling of the lighting, when the lighting is housed in said recess and that it is or has been in operation. As will be seen later, lighting 3 is foldable and unfoldable according to the invention; in the reception housing/recess 23, the light 3 is in one of its folded positions, which position is called the folded position.

L'évidement 23 est oblong au regard de l'éclairage 3 qui est longiligne et présente de préférence une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique.The recess 23 is oblong with respect to the light 3 which is slender and preferably has a substantially parallelepipedic shape.

La fixation de l'éclairage 3 dans l'évidement 23 est faite par coincement dans ledit évidement, et mise en butée (dans des plans parallèles à la surface générale de l'évidement, et donc aux faces avant 2C et arrière 2D) en position repliée de l'éclairage contre des butées (inférieures) 24 en face avant solidaires de la partie pleine 21 et s'étendant en saillie dans l'évidement 23, et un épaulement périphérique ou au moins deux épaulements supérieurs 24' au niveau des coins supérieurs à l'intérieur de l'évidement 23, pour ne pas aller au-delà de la face arrière 2D et ressortir du support. De préférence, les épaulements supérieurs 24' en coin forment des surfaces inclinées de la face avant 2C en direction de la face arrière 2D. Le corps de l'éclairage qui est destiné à être enfoncé dans l'évidement légèrement en force, comporte des zones périphériques 30 dotées d'un revêtement en matière plastique élastique (figure 1), ce qui permet d'introduire l'éclairage en force dans l'évidement et de le coincer, tout en permettant de le ressortir. La matière plastique élastique de revêtement est par exemple du SBS.Fixing of the lighting 3 in the recess 23 is made by wedging in said recess, and abutting (in planes parallel to the general surface of the recess, and therefore to the front 2C and rear 2D faces) in position folded back of the lighting against stops (lower) 24 on the front face integral with the solid part 21 and extending projecting into the recess 23, and a peripheral shoulder or at least two upper shoulders 24' at the level of the upper corners inside the recess 23, so as not to go beyond the 2D rear face and come out of the support. Preferably, the upper corner shoulders 24' form inclined surfaces of the front face 2C towards the rear face 2D. The body of the lighting which is intended to be pressed into the recess slightly by force, comprises peripheral zones 30 provided with a coating of elastic plastic material ( figure 1 ), which makes it possible to introduce the lighting by force into the recess and to jam it, while allowing it to come out. The elastic plastic coating material is for example SBS.

Le support 2 comporte une paire de contacts électriques 25 qui est agencée en l'une des extrémités de l'évidement 23 et au niveau de la partie pleine 21. Lorsque l'éclairage 3 est inséré dans l'évidement 23 et mis en applique contre les butées 24, il coopère via des contacts électriques 31 agencés de manière appropriée sur le corps de l'éclairage 3 (figure 10) avec lesdits contacts électriques 25.The support 2 comprises a pair of electrical contacts 25 which is arranged at one of the ends of the recess 23 and at the level of the solid part 21. When the lighting 3 is inserted into the recess 23 and applied against the stops 24, it cooperates via electrical contacts 31 suitably arranged on the body of the lighting 3 ( figure 10 ) with said electrical contacts 25.

La partie pleine 21 qui loge le bloc d'alimentation électrique et de recharge de la batterie de l'éclairage 3 comporte un système de connexion électrique par voie filaire pour se brancher sur un réseau de distribution électrique afin de recharger le bloc d'alimentation électrique du support 2 et/ou d'alimenter par voie filaire et via le bloc d'alimentation électrique du support 2, l'éclairage 3 lorsqu'il est dans sa position rangée dans le support 2.The solid part 21 which houses the electrical power supply unit and for recharging the battery of the lighting 3 comprises a wired electrical connection system for connecting to an electrical distribution network in order to recharge the electrical power supply unit of the support 2 and/or to power by wire and via the power supply unit of the support 2, the lighting 3 when it is in its stowed position in the support 2.

Le système de connexion électrique par voie filaire du support 2 comporte un cordon électrique 5 qui est de préférence solidaire du support 2 et sort à l'extérieur de la partie pleine 21. Le support 2 comporte de préférence des moyens de rangement du cordon électrique 5 hors utilisation. Dans l'exemple illustré, le cadre périphérique 20 du support est doté d'une gorge périphérique 26 dans laquelle et autour de laquelle est enroulé le cordon 5 (figures 1, 3 et 4).The wired electrical connection system of the support 2 comprises an electric cord 5 which is preferably secured to the support 2 and exits outside the solid part 21. The support 2 preferably comprises storage means for the electric cord 5 out of use. In the example illustrated, the peripheral frame 20 of the support has a peripheral groove 26 in which and around which the cord 5 ( figure 1 , 3 And 4 ).

De plus, le support 2 comporte avantageusement au moins une prise électrique 50 en connexion avec le bloc d'alimentation électrique interne au support 2, permettant par exemple de brancher électriquement sur le support un outillage électrique pour son alimentation, le support 2 via son bloc interne d'alimentation électrique servant ainsi de source d'alimentation électrique.In addition, the support 2 advantageously comprises at least one electrical outlet 50 in connection with the electrical power supply internal to the support 2, making it possible, for example, to electrically connect an electrical tool to the support for its power supply, the support 2 via its internal power supply unit thus serving as a power supply source.

Le support 2 comporte, solidaire du cadre 20 et en l'une de ses terminaisons (terminaison supérieure 2B), opposé à la partie pleine 21, un moyen de préhension 6 tel qu'une poignée, facilitant la manipulation et le transport du dispositif hors utilisation.The support 2 comprises, integral with the frame 20 and at one of its ends (upper end 2B), opposite the solid part 21, a gripping means 6 such as a handle, facilitating the handling and transport of the device outside use.

Le support 2 comporte les deux pieds 40 et 41, de préférence solidaires du corps du support, qui sont dépliables et pliables par rapport au corps du support et sont aptes à adopter deux positions, une position de dite de rangement dans leur état plié (figures 1 et 4), et une position dans leur état déplié (figures 2, 5 et 6) pour obtenir avec le corps du support un trépied et ainsi, agencer debout le support 2 dans une position stable. Le corps du support 2 comporte sur sa face arrière 2D deux emplacements longitudinaux opposés 42 et 43, en limite du cadre 20 pour y loger en position rangée les pieds respectifs 40 et 41. Les pieds 40 et 41 sont de longueur sensiblement équivalente à la longueur du corps du support 2. Les pieds 40 et 41 sont solidaires et aptes à être mobiles par pivotement depuis l'une de leurs extrémités distales (figures 5 et 7) et au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure 2B du corps du support 2 et de la face arrière 2D. Avantageusement, chacun des pieds est articulé autour d'un axe respectif 44, 45 qui est de direction oblique (plutôt que parallèle) par rapport au plan de la face arrière 2D de sorte à permettre un agencement des pieds selon une large ouverture angulaire, c'est-à-dire selon un écartement plus important que la distance d'écartement des plans intégrant les rangements parallèles 42 et 43, ce qui engendre une meilleure stabilité du trépied.The support 2 comprises the two feet 40 and 41, preferably secured to the body of the support, which are unfoldable and foldable relative to the body of the support and are able to adopt two positions, a so-called storage position in their folded state ( figure 1 And 4 ), and a position in their unfolded state ( figure 2 , 5 And 6 ) to obtain with the body of the support a tripod and thus, to arrange the support 2 upright in a stable position. The body of the support 2 comprises on its rear face 2D two opposite longitudinal locations 42 and 43, at the limit of the frame 20 to accommodate therein in the stowed position the respective feet 40 and 41. The feet 40 and 41 are of length substantially equivalent to the length of the body of the support 2. The feet 40 and 41 are integral and adapted to be movable by pivoting from one of their distal ends ( figure 5 And 7 ) and at the upper end 2B of the body of the support 2 and of the rear face 2D. Advantageously, each of the feet is articulated around a respective axis 44, 45 which is in an oblique direction (rather than parallel) with respect to the plane of the rear face 2D so as to allow an arrangement of the feet according to a wide angular opening, c that is to say according to a larger spacing than the spacing distance of the planes integrating the parallel storage spaces 42 and 43, which results in better stability of the tripod.

Par conséquent, en position complètement dépliée des pieds 40 et 41 (figures 2 et 5 à 7), le support 2 peut être installé debout sous la forme d'un trépied afin de pouvoir agencer en hauteur l'éclairage 3.Therefore, in the fully unfolded position of the 40 and 41 feet ( figure 2 And 5 To 7 ), the bracket 2 can be installed upright in the form of a tripod in order to be able to arrange the lighting 3 in height.

L'éclairage 3 est monté sur la tête du trépied (extrémité supérieure 2B). A cette fin, le support 2 comporte un moyen de support et de fixation qui est avantageusement réalisé par la poignée 6 du support. La poignée 6 comporte sur son chant supérieur (figures 1 et 3 et 4) un orifice 60 qui est destiné à accueillir par engagement une partie mâle 32 du corps de l'éclairage 3, tandis que la surface 32'du corps de l'éclairage 2 perpendiculaire à ladite partie mâle vient en butée contre le chant 61 de la poignée (figures 5 et 7). Cette fixation par insertion (sans coincement) et mise en butée ainsi que par gravité, suffit à porter et maintenir l'éclairage à la verticale. De préférence, le matériau de revêtement des chants latéraux de la partie mâle 32 est également en matière plastique élastique du type SBS.Lighting 3 is mounted on the tripod head (upper end 2B). To this end, the support 2 comprises a support and fixing means which is advantageously produced by the handle 6 of the support. Handle 6 has on its upper edge ( figure 1 And 3 And 4 ) an orifice 60 which is intended to receive by engagement a male part 32 of the body of the lighting 3, while the surface 32′ of the body of the lighting 2 perpendicular to the said male part comes into abutment against the edge 61 of the handle ( figure 5 And 7 ). This fixing by insertion (without jamming) and abutment as well as by gravity, is sufficient to carry and maintain the lighting vertically. Preferably, the coating material of the side edges of the male part 32 is also made of elastic plastic material of the SBS type.

En regard des figures 8 à 12, l'éclairage 3 présente un corps de forme oblongue. L'éclairage 3 comporte deux parties 30A et 30B qui sont pliables/dépliables l'une par rapport à l'autre, selon au moins 180°, de préférence selon 200°, autour d'un axe d'articulation 33 perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale du corps. A l'état replié de l'une des parties contre l'autre partie (figure 8), l'éclairage 3 présente de préférence une forme parallélépipédique ce qui lui permet d'être posé verticalement à l'état replié tout en étant très stable. A l'état totalement déplié (figure 11), l'une des parties forme dans le prolongement de l'autre, une extension longitudinale, permettant de gagner en hauteur lorsque l'éclairage est sur son trépied. La première partie 30A constitue une embase de soutènement/de fixation de l'éclairage et de logement d'une alimentation électrique sur batterie, tandis que la seconde partie 30B comprend la fonction en tant que telle d'éclairage.In view of figures 8 to 12 , the light 3 has an oblong-shaped body. Lighting 3 comprises two parts 30A and 30B which are foldable/unfoldable relative to each other, along at least 180°, preferably along 200°, around a hinge axis 33 perpendicular to the direction longitudinal to the body. In the folded state of one of the parts against the other part ( figure 8 ), the lighting 3 preferably has a parallelepipedic shape which allows it to be placed vertically in the folded state while being very stable. In fully unfolded state ( figure 11 ), one of the parts forms in the extension of the other, a longitudinal extension, making it possible to gain in height when the lighting is on its tripod. The first part 30A constitutes a base for supporting/fixing the lighting and for housing a battery power supply, while the second part 30B comprises the function as such of lighting.

La partie d'éclairage 30B éclaire au moins selon l'une de ses faces principales 30C, tandis que sa face opposée est de préférence recouverte d'un revêtement métallique pour favoriser l'évacuation calorique. En position pliée ou partiellement dépliée, la face éclairante 30C est la face dite externe, qui est celle opposée à l'embase 30A, afin d'éclairer vers l'environnement extérieur, y compris en position pliée et rangée ou non dans son support.The lighting part 30B illuminates at least along one of its main faces 30C, while its opposite face is preferably covered with a metal coating to promote heat evacuation. In the folded or partially unfolded position, the illuminating face 30C is the so-called outer face, which is the one opposite the base 30A, in order to illuminate towards the external environment, including in the folded and stored position or not in its support.

L'embase 30A loge la batterie d'alimentation de l'éclairage. L'éclairage est ainsi autonome. Le rechargement de la batterie s'effectue lorsque l'éclairage est rangé dans le logement 23 du support 2.The 30A base houses the lighting supply battery. The lighting is thus autonomous. The battery is recharged when the lighting is stored in housing 23 of support 2.

L'embase 30A comporte pour son soutènement sur une surface plane (figures 11 et 12) indépendamment du support 2, des moyens de soutènement 34A et 34B qui permettent de poser l'éclairage 3 à la verticale sur une surface, alors que la partie d'éclairage 30B s'élève en hauteur par rapport à l'embase 30A. Les moyens de soutènement 34A et 34B forment deux pieds espacés dans la continuité des faces latérales (faces perpendiculaires aux faces principales), ce qui permet à l'éclairage 3 de tenir debout sur une surface, que la partie d'éclairage 30B soit repliée ou non (quel que soit le degré d'ouverture de la partie d'éclairage).The base 30A comprises for its support on a flat surface ( figure 11 And 12 ) independently of the support 2, retaining means 34A and 34B which make it possible to place the lighting 3 vertically on a surface, while the lighting part 30B rises in height relative to the base 30A. The support means 34A and 34B form two feet spaced apart in the continuity of the side faces (faces perpendicular to the main faces), which allows the lighting 3 to stand upright on a surface, that the lighting part 30B is folded or not (regardless of the degree of opening of the lighting part).

En position repliée de la partie d'éclairage 30B, celle-ci est plaquée contre l'embase 30A, seules restent en saillie du corps de l'éclairage 3, des parties périphériques telles que les zones périphériques 30 constituées de matière plastique du type en SBS, pour protéger ainsi l'éclairage.In the folded position of the lighting part 30B, the latter is pressed against the base 30A, only remaining projecting from the body of the lighting 3, peripheral parts such as the peripheral zones 30 made of plastic material of the SBS, thus to protect the lighting.

Comme déjà précédemment expliqué, l'embase 30A comporte, pour le montage de l'éclairage 3 au support 2, la partie mâle 32 qui constitue des moyens de fixation de l'éclairage sur le support 2. Cette partie mâle 32 forme l'extrémité libre du corps de l'embase 30A parallèlement à ses faces principales et perpendiculairement aux pieds 34A et 34B. Cette partie mâle 32 ne dépasse pas les pieds 34A et 34B, et se termine avantageusement dans le même plan d'appui que celui des pieds 34A et 34B. La partie mâle 32 est détachée des pieds 34A et 34B pour ménager des évidements respectifs 35A et 35B qui permettent l'engagement de la partie mâle 32 dans l'orifice de réception 60 de la poignée 6 du trépied/support 2. L'épaisseur de la partie mâle 32 est adaptée pour coopérer par insertion sans coincement avec ledit orifice de réception 60 du support 2. Les fonds 32' des évidements 35A et 35B constituent les butées respectives 32' d'appui de l'éclairage 3 contre le chant supérieur 61 de la poignée 6 du support 2, lorsque la partie mâle 32 est enfoncée dans l'orifice 60.As already explained previously, the base 30A comprises, for mounting the lighting 3 to the support 2, the male part 32 which constitutes means for fixing the lighting on the support 2. This male part 32 forms the end free from the body of the base 30A parallel to its main faces and perpendicular to the feet 34A and 34B. This male part 32 does not exceed the feet 34A and 34B, and advantageously ends in the same support plane as that of the feet 34A and 34B. The male part 32 is detached from the feet 34A and 34B to provide respective recesses 35A and 35B which allow the engagement of the male part 32 in the reception orifice 60 of the handle 6 of the tripod/support 2. The thickness of the male part 32 is adapted to cooperate by insertion without jamming with said receiving orifice 60 of the support 2. The bottoms 32' of the recesses 35A and 35B constitute the respective stops 32' for bearing the lighting 3 against the upper edge 61 of the handle 6 of the support 2, when the male part 32 is pushed into the orifice 60.

En outre, l'embase 30A comporte avantageusement des moyens de suspension 36 de l'éclairage 3 pour si besoin suspendre ledit éclairage lorsque celui-ci n'est pas sur son support 2, ces moyens de suspension 36 étant constitués par un trou traversant agencé dans l'épaisseur de la partie mâle 32 pour procurer une anse d'accrochage.In addition, the base 30A advantageously comprises means 36 for suspending the lighting 3 to suspend said lighting if necessary when the latter is not on its support 2, these suspension means 36 being constituted by a through hole arranged in the thickness of the male part 32 to provide a hooking loop.

L'éclairage 3 peut également comporter des moyens de fixation par aimantation 37, par exemple ici constitués par un aimant inclus dans le corps de l'embase 30A sur sa face externe 30D.Lighting 3 can also comprise means of fixing by magnetization 37, for example here constituted by a magnet included in the body of the base 30A on its external face 30D.

Enfin, l'éclairage 3 comporte un bouton de fonctionnement marche/arrêt 38, de préférence positionné dans l'embase 30A et accessible sur la face externe 30D, permettant si besoin d'allumer l'éclairage alors qu'il est en position totalement repliée. Comme le logement/l'évidement 23 est traversant, la face externe 30D est accessible en position rangée de l'éclairage, permettant d'allumer si besoin l'éclairage alors qu'il reste dans le support 2. En outre, l'intérêt d'agencer le bouton de fonctionnement 38 sur la face opposée à la face d'éclairage 30C en position repliée, est de ne pas éblouir l'utilisateur lors de l'allumage.Finally, the lighting 3 includes an on/off operating button 38, preferably positioned in the base 30A and accessible on the outer face 30D, allowing the lighting to be switched on if necessary while it is in the fully folded position. . As the housing / recess 23 is through, the outer face 30D is accessible in position row of the lighting, allowing the lighting to be switched on if necessary while it remains in the support 2. in the folded position, is not to dazzle the user when switching on.

De préférence, le bouton de fonctionnement 38 comprend des moyens de visualisation de l'état de charge et de l'autonomie de la batterie de l'éclairage 3. Par exemple, ces moyens de visualisation comportent des diodes électroluminescentes qui éclairent à travers une surface transparente ou translucide du bouton, les différentes couleurs des diodes correspondant à un état de charge différent.Preferably, the operating button 38 comprises means for displaying the state of charge and the autonomy of the battery of the lighting 3. For example, these display means comprise light-emitting diodes which illuminate through a surface transparent or translucent of the button, the different colors of the diodes corresponding to a different state of charge.

De préférence, lors de l'allumage de l'éclairage 3 lorsque celui-ci n'est pas rangé dans son support, l'une des diodes s'allume pendant quelques secondes pour connaître l'état de charge de la batterie en fonction de la couleur de la diode. Lorsque l'éclairage 3 est connecté aux contacts de recharge 25 solidaires du support 2, l'une des diodes reste allumée ; lorsque la diode est rouge, la batterie de l'éclairage est en cours de chargement tandis que la couleur verte indique que la batterie est chargée. L'évidement 23 en étant traversant permet, lorsque l'éclairage reste logé et connecté dans le support, de voir les moyens de visualisation de l'état de charge et connaître ainsi cet état de charge.Preferably, when lighting 3 is switched on when it is not stored in its holder, one of the diodes lights up for a few seconds to know the state of charge of the battery according to the color of the diode. When the lighting 3 is connected to the charging contacts 25 integral with the support 2, one of the diodes remains lit; when the diode is red, the battery of the lighting is being charged while the green color indicates that the battery is charged. The recess 23 being through allows, when the lighting remains housed and connected in the support, to see the means of displaying the state of charge and thus know this state of charge.
