Definitions
- the present invention relates to a luminaire and its device for fixing to a mirror, for example a bathroom mirror, which is not limiting.
- a luminaire with a mirror comprising a reflecting surface and a support panel applied vertically against a wall.
- This luminaire includes an illuminating surface and is arranged above the mirror in the mounted position of the mirror against the wall.
- the illuminating surface emits one or more beams of light directed towards the mirror.
- the support panel can be drilled and having a contact surface with the connecting piece larger than a reflecting surface taken in isolation.
- the socket or junction box may be at the level of the luminaire and since the luminaire is hung on the wall above a person's height, the electrical connection is invisible. However, portions of the electric cable rest on the upper face of the luminaire, so that the electric cable is not completely hidden from the outside.
- the socket or the electrical connection box is not near the luminaire, it is known to run the electrical cable behind the support panel of the mirror to hide it. This has the disadvantage of unsticking the support panel from the wall, which is detrimental to the fixing of the mirror to the wall while leaving a spacing, although reduced, between the support panel and the wall.
- the problem at the base of the invention is to configure a luminaire with a connecting piece which can be fixed on a mirror consisting of a reflecting surface and a support panel, this as well with the reflecting surface. than with the support panel according to the various types of mirror.
- the present invention relates to a luminaire intended to be fixed by a connecting piece against an edge of a reflecting surface or of a support panel of the reflecting surface of a mirror, the reflecting surface being applied at least partially against the support panel, an electric cable extending into an interior of the luminaire from a lighting end of the luminaire to the connection piece and then being intended to pass behind the support panel, characterized in that the control piece connection comprises a first branch turned towards the lighting end and a second branch curved with respect to the first branch at an angle of 90 ° with a range of variation of +/- 30 ° around this angle, the second branch having a median longitudinal groove opening at a free end of the second branch of the connecting piece and having a slot opening onto two opposite lateral faces of the second th branch, the longitudinal groove having a width of 3 to 6 millimeters and a sufficient length so that, when an element is introduced into the groove, having said width of the groove reduced by a clearance just sufficient to allow its introduction into the groove , the luminaire is held in position relative to
- the technical effect is to use a luminaire with a connecting piece that can be fixed on mirrors of different types.
- the element introduced into the groove is a portion of the edge of the reflecting surface.
- the width of the groove should be chosen to match the thickness of the reflective surface by wedging it for a solid attachment. It is possible to design a relatively wide groove to accommodate the thicker reflective surfaces of existing mirrors and insert shims into the groove to accommodate smaller reflective surfaces.
- the presence of the openings for the groove is essential to allow portions of the edge of the reflecting surface to pass out of the groove.
- the connecting piece is fixed to the support panel by means of an annex element.
- the presence of lights is not essential but the second branch carries them however to suit both the first preferred embodiment with attachment to the reflecting surface and the second preferred embodiment with attachment to the support panel.
- the same connecting piece with a longitudinal groove can therefore be used for fixing the luminaire to several types of mirror.
- At least one securing means passes through one face of the second branch, coming into abutment with the element introduced into the groove for locking the element in the groove.
- the element introduced into the groove is a portion of the reflecting surface of the mirror introduced with a small clearance into the groove.
- the securing means presses on the hidden face since it is not visible from the outside of the reflecting surface without damaging it or piercing it, but exerts a retaining action on the portion of the reflecting surface introduced into the groove.
- the connecting piece is associated with a fixing lug having a base carrying an insert projecting from the base and forming the element introduced into the groove.
- a fixing tab comprising an insert projecting from a base and penetrating into the longitudinal groove of the second branch. The base is then secured to the edge of one edge of the support panel facing the second branch.
- the base of the fixing lug is pierced with two recesses for the passage of a respective securing means intended for securing the fixing lug with an edge of the panel.
- the use of two securing means passing through the base and the edge edge of the support panel facing each other makes it possible to symmetrically distribute the attachment of the base against the support panel.
- the base carries two lugs projecting towards the second branch and penetrating into a respective notch carried by the free end of the second branch.
- the lugs respectively associated with a notch keep the free end of the second branch in position relative to the base itself fixed against the support panel.
- the second branch is a rectangular parallelepiped with one face applied against the base and one facing face connected to the first branch, one of the two remaining faces surrounding the insert when housed in the groove having two orifices for the passage of a means for securing the insert with the second branch, the insert being pierced with two receiving orifices internally threaded with a respective securing means.
- Fastening means passing through a face of the second branch and the final end of which is threaded in the insert ensure a resistant locking of the insert in the longitudinal groove of the second branch.
- the remaining face of the second branch surrounding the insert when housed in the groove and one face of the insert facing the remaining face each have a longitudinal groove extending perpendicularly to the base, the grooves of the insert and the second branch being aligned, complementing each other and opening into a passage cavity made in the base. Thanks to the two complementary grooves, the electric cable is completely inserted into the second branch.
- the first branch is hollow and comprises an element for centering the electric cable in the longitudinal median position in the first branch, the centering element having a median passage conforming to a diameter of the electric cable and being removable from the first branch by being secured by at least one securing means.
- This centering of the electric cable in the first branch completes the integration and retention of the cable in the connection piece upstream of the second branch. This centering helps to position the electric cable just in alignment with the grooves of the insert and the second branch, which makes it easy to assemble the electrical connection of the luminaire, the electric cable no longer moving sideways.
- connection piece is integral with the luminaire by forming a support arm for the lighting end or removable from the luminaire by forming a portion of the distal support arm of the lighting end by fitting together by snap-fastening. with a rest of the support arm.
- This latching can be done by one end of the connecting piece pointing towards the lighting end and the rest of the support arm of smaller dimension by being deformed, this end of the connecting piece being inserted into one end in vis-à-vis the rest of the support arm.
- the lighting end extends perpendicularly to the support arm transversely along a width of the support arm. This gives a T-shape extending in a horizontal plane when the mirror is mounted in a vertical position, for example against a wall. It is also possible that the lighting end is in the form of a plate.

Description
La présente invention concerne un luminaire et son dispositif de fixation à un miroir, par exemple un miroir de salle de bain, ce qui n'est pas limitatif.The present invention relates to a luminaire and its device for fixing to a mirror, for example a bathroom mirror, which is not limiting.
Il est connu d'associer un luminaire à un miroir comportant une surface réfléchissante et un panneau de support appliqué verticalement contre un mur. Ce luminaire comprend une surface éclairante et est disposé au-dessus du miroir en position montée du miroir contre le mur. La surface éclairante émet un ou des faisceaux de lumière orientés vers le miroir.It is known to associate a luminaire with a mirror comprising a reflecting surface and a support panel applied vertically against a wall. This luminaire includes an illuminating surface and is arranged above the mirror in the mounted position of the mirror against the wall. The illuminating surface emits one or more beams of light directed towards the mirror.
Pour l'alimentation électrique du luminaire, il est prévu d'utiliser un câble électrique branché sur une prise ou un boîtier de connexion électrique prévu dans le mur, ce câble devant être masqué pour des raisons d'esthétisme.For the power supply of the luminaire, it is planned to use an electric cable plugged into a socket or an electrical connection box provided in the wall, this cable having to be hidden for aesthetic reasons.
Il est possible de fixer le luminaire contre le mur indépendamment du miroir. Ceci présente le désavantage de percer le mur en plus du ou des perçages pour solidariser le panneau de support du miroir contre le mur. Il conviendrait d'éviter un tel perçage du mur et de trouver un autre moyen de solidarisation directe ou indirecte du luminaire au mur.It is possible to fix the luminaire against the wall independently of the mirror. This has the disadvantage of drilling the wall in addition to the hole or holes to secure the mirror support panel against the wall. Such drilling in the wall should be avoided and another means of direct or indirect securing of the luminaire to the wall should be found.
Il a alors été proposé de solidariser le luminaire avec le miroir par une pièce de raccordement portée par une extrémité libre du luminaire tournée vers le mur et le miroir. Le problème d'une telle solidarisation est que différents types de miroir vont nécessiter différents types de pièce de raccordement. En effet, un miroir peut présenter une surface réfléchissante qui dépasse en hauteur du panneau de support. Dans ce cas, le luminaire surplombant le miroir ne peut être que fixé sur la surface réfléchissante peu épaisse et qui ne peut être percée.It was therefore proposed to make the luminaire integral with the mirror by a connecting piece carried by a free end of the luminaire facing the wall and the mirror. The problem with such joining is that different types of mirror will require different types of connecting piece. Indeed, a mirror can have a reflecting surface which protrudes in height from the support panel. In this case, the luminaire overhanging the mirror can only be fixed on the reflective surface which is thin and cannot be pierced.
Dans une autre configuration dans laquelle les bords supérieurs de la surface réfléchissante et du panneau de support sont au même niveau de hauteur, il est préférable de fixer le luminaire par sa pièce de raccordement avec le panneau de support sur la tranche de son bord supérieur, le panneau de support pouvant être percé et présentant une surface de contact avec la pièce de raccordement plus importante qu'une surface réfléchissante prise isolément.In another configuration in which the upper edges of the reflecting surface and of the support panel are at the same height level, it is preferable to fix the luminaire by its connecting piece with the support panel on the edge of its upper edge, the support panel can be drilled and having a contact surface with the connecting piece larger than a reflecting surface taken in isolation.
Un autre problème est la connexion électrique du luminaire avec une prise ou un boîtier de connexion électrique. La prise ou le boîtier de connexion peut se trouver au niveau du luminaire et comme le luminaire est accroché au mur au-dessus d'une hauteur de personne, la connexion électrique est invisible. Cependant des portions de câble électrique reposent sur la face supérieure du luminaire, ce qui fait que le câble électrique n'est pas complètement masqué de l'extérieur.Another problem is the electrical connection of the luminaire with an electrical outlet or connection box. The socket or junction box may be at the level of the luminaire and since the luminaire is hung on the wall above a person's height, the electrical connection is invisible. However, portions of the electric cable rest on the upper face of the luminaire, so that the electric cable is not completely hidden from the outside.
Si la prise ou le boîtier de connexion électrique ne se trouve pas à proximité du luminaire, il est connu de faire passer le câble électrique derrière le panneau de support du miroir pour le masquer. Ceci présente le désavantage de décoller le panneau de support du mur, ce qui nuit à la solidarisation du miroir avec le mur en laissant un espacement bien que réduit entre le panneau de support et le mur.If the socket or the electrical connection box is not near the luminaire, it is known to run the electrical cable behind the support panel of the mirror to hide it. This has the disadvantage of unsticking the support panel from the wall, which is detrimental to the fixing of the mirror to the wall while leaving a spacing, although reduced, between the support panel and the wall.
Il a été proposé de prévoir un passage d'insertion du câble électrique du luminaire partant du bord du panneau de support dans le panneau de support. Le câble électrique est alors maintenu derrière le panneau mais des difficultés de montage peuvent subsister, étant donné que le câble électrique n'est pas forcément bien maintenu dans la pièce de raccordement du luminaire.It has been proposed to provide a passage for inserting the electrical cable of the luminaire starting from the edge of the support panel in the support panel. The electric cable is then held behind the panel but assembly difficulties may remain, given that the electric cable is not necessarily well maintained in the connection part of the luminaire.
Par conséquent, le problème à la base de l'invention est de configurer un luminaire avec une pièce de raccordement qui puisse se fixer sur un miroir constitué d'une surface réfléchissante et d'un panneau de support, ceci aussi bien avec la surface réfléchissante qu'avec le panneau de support selon les divers types de miroir.Therefore, the problem at the base of the invention is to configure a luminaire with a connecting piece which can be fixed on a mirror consisting of a reflecting surface and a support panel, this as well with the reflecting surface. than with the support panel according to the various types of mirror.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un luminaire destiné à être fixé par une pièce de raccordement contre un bord d'une surface réfléchissante ou d'un panneau de support de la surface réfléchissante d'un miroir, la surface réfléchissante étant appliquée au moins partiellement contre le panneau de support, un câble électrique s'étendant dans un intérieur du luminaire d'une extrémité d'éclairage du luminaire vers la pièce de raccordement puis étant destiné à passer derrière le panneau de support, caractérisé en ce que la pièce de raccordement comprend une première branche tournée vers l'extrémité d'éclairage et une deuxième branche recourbée par rapport à la première branche d'un angle de 90° avec une plage de variation de +/-30° autour de cet angle, la deuxième branche présentant une rainure longitudinale médiane débouchant à une extrémité libre de la deuxième branche de la pièce de raccordement et présentant une lumière débouchant sur deux faces opposées latérales de la deuxième branche, la rainure longitudinale présentant une largeur de 3 à 6 millimètres et une longueur suffisante pour que, quand un élément est introduit dans la rainure en présentant ladite largeur de la rainure minorée d'un jeu juste suffisant pour permettre son introduction dans la rainure, le luminaire soit maintenu en position par rapport à l'élément.To this end, the present invention relates to a luminaire intended to be fixed by a connecting piece against an edge of a reflecting surface or of a support panel of the reflecting surface of a mirror, the reflecting surface being applied at least partially against the support panel, an electric cable extending into an interior of the luminaire from a lighting end of the luminaire to the connection piece and then being intended to pass behind the support panel, characterized in that the control piece connection comprises a first branch turned towards the lighting end and a second branch curved with respect to the first branch at an angle of 90 ° with a range of variation of +/- 30 ° around this angle, the second branch having a median longitudinal groove opening at a free end of the second branch of the connecting piece and having a slot opening onto two opposite lateral faces of the second th branch, the longitudinal groove having a width of 3 to 6 millimeters and a sufficient length so that, when an element is introduced into the groove, having said width of the groove reduced by a clearance just sufficient to allow its introduction into the groove , the luminaire is held in position relative to the element.
L'effet technique est d'utiliser un luminaire avec une pièce de raccordement qui puisse se fixer sur des miroirs de différents types. Par exemple, pour une surface réfléchissante plus longue que le panneau de support appliqué à son dos en dépassant en longueur vers le haut du miroir une fois le miroir posé contre un mur, l'élément introduit dans la rainure est une portion du bord de la surface réfléchissante. Il convient de choisir la largeur de la rainure pour qu'elle corresponde à l'épaisseur de la surface réfléchissante en la coinçant pour une fixation solide. Il est possible de concevoir une rainure relativement large pour recevoir la plus épaisse des surfaces réfléchissantes de miroirs existants et d'insérer des cales dans la rainure pour l'adapter à des surfaces réfléchissantes plus petites.The technical effect is to use a luminaire with a connecting piece that can be fixed on mirrors of different types. For example, for a reflective surface longer than the backing panel applied to its back protruding lengthwise upwards of the mirror once the mirror is placed against a wall, the element introduced into the groove is a portion of the edge of the reflecting surface. The width of the groove should be chosen to match the thickness of the reflective surface by wedging it for a solid attachment. It is possible to design a relatively wide groove to accommodate the thicker reflective surfaces of existing mirrors and insert shims into the groove to accommodate smaller reflective surfaces.
Dans ce premier mode de réalisation préférentielle, la présence des lumières débouchantes pour la rainure est essentielle pour laisser passer des portions du bord de la surface réfléchissante hors de la rainure.In this first preferred embodiment, the presence of the openings for the groove is essential to allow portions of the edge of the reflecting surface to pass out of the groove.
Par contre, pour une surface réfléchissante de même dimension que le panneau de support, la pièce de raccordement est fixée sur le panneau de support par l'intermédiaire d'un élément annexe. Dans ce cas la présence des lumières n'est pas essentielle mais la deuxième branche les porte cependant pour convenir aussi bien au premier mode de réalisation préférentielle avec solidarisation avec la surface réfléchissante qu'au deuxième mode de réalisation préférentielle avec solidarisation au panneau de support.On the other hand, for a reflecting surface of the same dimension as the support panel, the connecting piece is fixed to the support panel by means of an annex element. In this case the presence of lights is not essential but the second branch carries them however to suit both the first preferred embodiment with attachment to the reflecting surface and the second preferred embodiment with attachment to the support panel.
Une même pièce de raccordement avec une rainure longitudinale peut donc servir à la fixation du luminaire sur plusieurs types de miroir.The same connecting piece with a longitudinal groove can therefore be used for fixing the luminaire to several types of mirror.
Avantageusement, au moins un moyen de solidarisation traverse une face de la deuxième branche en arrivant en butée avec l'élément introduit dans la rainure pour un blocage de l'élément dans la rainure.Advantageously, at least one securing means passes through one face of the second branch, coming into abutment with the element introduced into the groove for locking the element in the groove.
Ceci est particulièrement adapté au premier mode de réalisation préférentielle de la présente invention pour lequel l'élément introduit dans la rainure est une portion de la surface réfléchissante du miroir introduite avec un faible jeu dans la rainure. Le moyen de solidarisation appuie sur la face cachée car non visible de l'extérieur de la surface réfléchissante sans l'endommager ou la percer mais exerce une action de retenue de la portion de la surface réfléchissante introduite dans la rainure.This is particularly suited to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention for which the element introduced into the groove is a portion of the reflecting surface of the mirror introduced with a small clearance into the groove. The securing means presses on the hidden face since it is not visible from the outside of the reflecting surface without damaging it or piercing it, but exerts a retaining action on the portion of the reflecting surface introduced into the groove.
Avantageusement, la pièce de raccordement est associée à une patte de fixation présentant un socle portant un insert faisant saillie du socle et formant l'élément introduit dans la rainure.Advantageously, the connecting piece is associated with a fixing lug having a base carrying an insert projecting from the base and forming the element introduced into the groove.
Ceci représente le deuxième mode de réalisation préférentielle de la présente invention précédemment mentionné avec une fixation du luminaire qui s'effectue sur le panneau de support. Dans ce cas, une patte de fixation est ajoutée en comportant un insert faisant saillie d'un socle et pénétrant dans la rainure longitudinale de la deuxième branche. Le socle est alors solidarisé avec la tranche d'un bord du panneau de support en vis-à-vis de la deuxième branche.This represents the second preferred embodiment of the present invention previously mentioned with a fixing of the luminaire which takes place on the support panel. In this case, a fixing tab is added comprising an insert projecting from a base and penetrating into the longitudinal groove of the second branch. The base is then secured to the edge of one edge of the support panel facing the second branch.
Avantageusement, le socle de la patte de fixation est percé de deux évidements de passage d'un moyen de solidarisation respectif destiné à une solidarisation de la patte de fixation avec un bord du panneau. L'utilisation de deux moyens de solidarisation traversant le socle et la tranche du bord du panneau de support en vis-à-vis permet de répartir symétriquement l'accrochage du socle contre le panneau de support.Advantageously, the base of the fixing lug is pierced with two recesses for the passage of a respective securing means intended for securing the fixing lug with an edge of the panel. The use of two securing means passing through the base and the edge edge of the support panel facing each other makes it possible to symmetrically distribute the attachment of the base against the support panel.
Avantageusement, le socle porte deux ergots faisant saillie vers la deuxième branche et pénétrant dans une encoche respective portée par l'extrémité libre de la deuxième branche. Les ergots associés respectivement à une encoche maintiennent en position l'extrémité libre de la deuxième branche par rapport au socle lui-même fixé contre le panneau de support.Advantageously, the base carries two lugs projecting towards the second branch and penetrating into a respective notch carried by the free end of the second branch. The lugs respectively associated with a notch keep the free end of the second branch in position relative to the base itself fixed against the support panel.
Avantageusement, la deuxième branche est un parallélépipède rectangle avec une face appliquée contre le socle et une face en vis-à-vis raccordée à la première branche, une des deux faces restantes entourant l'insert quand logé dans la rainure présentant deux orifices pour le passage d'un moyen de solidarisation de l'insert avec la deuxième branche, l'insert étant percé de deux orifices de réception filetés intérieurement d'un moyen de solidarisation respectif. Des moyens de solidarisation passant par une face de la deuxième branche et dont l'extrémité finale est filetée dans l'insert assurent un blocage résistant de l'insert dans la rainure longitudinale de la deuxième branche.Advantageously, the second branch is a rectangular parallelepiped with one face applied against the base and one facing face connected to the first branch, one of the two remaining faces surrounding the insert when housed in the groove having two orifices for the passage of a means for securing the insert with the second branch, the insert being pierced with two receiving orifices internally threaded with a respective securing means. Fastening means passing through a face of the second branch and the final end of which is threaded in the insert ensure a resistant locking of the insert in the longitudinal groove of the second branch.
Avantageusement, la face restante de la deuxième branche entourant l'insert quand logé dans la rainure et une face de l'insert en vis-à-vis de la face restante présentent chacune un sillon longitudinal s'étendant perpendiculairement au socle, les sillons de l'insert et de la deuxième branche étant alignés en se complétant et en débouchant sur une cavité de passage pratiquée dans le socle. Grâce aux deux sillons complémentaires, le câble électrique est inséré complètement dans la deuxième branche.Advantageously, the remaining face of the second branch surrounding the insert when housed in the groove and one face of the insert facing the remaining face each have a longitudinal groove extending perpendicularly to the base, the grooves of the insert and the second branch being aligned, complementing each other and opening into a passage cavity made in the base. Thanks to the two complementary grooves, the electric cable is completely inserted into the second branch.
Avantageusement, la première branche est creuse et comporte un élément de centrage du câble électrique en position médiane longitudinale dans la première branche, l'élément de centrage présentant un passage médian conformé à un diamètre du câble électrique et étant amovible de la première branche en étant solidarisé par au moins un moyen de solidarisation. Ce centrage du câble électrique dans la première branche complète l'intégration et le maintien du câble dans la pièce de raccordement en amont de la deuxième branche. Ce centrage aide à positionner le câble électrique juste dans l'alignement des sillons de l'insert et de la deuxième branche, ce qui confère une facilité de montage de la connexion électrique du luminaire, le câble électrique ne bougeant plus latéralement.Advantageously, the first branch is hollow and comprises an element for centering the electric cable in the longitudinal median position in the first branch, the centering element having a median passage conforming to a diameter of the electric cable and being removable from the first branch by being secured by at least one securing means. This centering of the electric cable in the first branch completes the integration and retention of the cable in the connection piece upstream of the second branch. This centering helps to position the electric cable just in alignment with the grooves of the insert and the second branch, which makes it easy to assemble the electrical connection of the luminaire, the electric cable no longer moving sideways.
Avantageusement, la pièce de raccordement est monobloc avec le luminaire en formant un bras de support de l'extrémité d'éclairage ou amovible du luminaire en formant une portion du bras de support distale de l'extrémité d'éclairage en s'emboîtant par encliquetage avec un reste du bras de support. Cet encliquetage peut se faire par une extrémité de la pièce de raccordement pointant vers l'extrémité d'éclairage et le reste du bras de support de dimension plus réduite en étant déformée, cette extrémité de la pièce de raccordement s'insérant dans une extrémité en vis-à-vis du reste du bras de support.Advantageously, the connection piece is integral with the luminaire by forming a support arm for the lighting end or removable from the luminaire by forming a portion of the distal support arm of the lighting end by fitting together by snap-fastening. with a rest of the support arm. This latching can be done by one end of the connecting piece pointing towards the lighting end and the rest of the support arm of smaller dimension by being deformed, this end of the connecting piece being inserted into one end in vis-à-vis the rest of the support arm.
Avantageusement, l'extrémité d'éclairage s'étend perpendiculairement au bras de support transversalement selon une largeur du bras de support. Ceci confère une forme de T s'étendant dans un plan horizontal quand le miroir est monté en position verticale, par exemple contre un mur. Il est aussi possible que l'extrémité d'éclairage soit sous la forme d'une plaque.Advantageously, the lighting end extends perpendicularly to the support arm transversely along a width of the support arm. This gives a T-shape extending in a horizontal plane when the mirror is mounted in a vertical position, for example against a wall. It is also possible that the lighting end is in the form of a plate.
L'invention concerne un miroir comportant une surface réfléchissante avec un panneau de support de la surface réfléchissante présentant une face adossée contre la surface réfléchissante, caractérisé en ce qu'un tel luminaire est fixé sur un bord de la surface réfléchissante ou du panneau de support.The invention relates to a mirror comprising a reflecting surface with a support panel of the reflecting surface having a face leaning against the reflecting surface, characterized in that such a luminaire is fixed on an edge of the reflecting surface or of the support panel .
Le luminaire, avantageusement surplombant le miroir, éclaire le miroir. Le câble électrique alimentant l'extrémité d'éclairage peut être masqué et passer derrière le panneau de support du miroir en étant encastré dans un passage d'insertion pratiqué sur la face du panneau de support opposée à la face appuyée contre la surface réfléchissante.The luminaire, advantageously overhanging the mirror, illuminates the mirror. The electric cable supplying the lighting end can be masked and pass behind the support panel of the mirror by being embedded in an insertion passage made on the face of the support panel opposite to the face pressed against the reflecting surface.
Pour le premier mode de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention décrit précédemment pour le luminaire, la surface réfléchissante dépasse du panneau de support du côté du bord de fixation du luminaire, un bord de la surface réfléchissante dépassant du panneau de support formant le bord de fixation du luminaire, la rainure longitudinale médiane de la deuxième branche étant conformée en largeur pour recevoir une portion du bord dépassant de la surface réfléchissante en tant qu'élément introduit dans la rainure avec un jeu juste suffisant pour permettre l'introduction de la portion du bord dépassant dans la rainure, le panneau de support présentant un passage d'insertion du câble électrique du luminaire à partir de son bord duquel la surface réfléchissante dépasse et débouchant par le bord opposé du panneau de support.For the first preferred embodiment of the invention described above for the luminaire, the reflecting surface protrudes from the support panel on the side of the fixing edge of the luminaire, one edge of the reflecting surface protruding from the support panel forming the fixing edge. of the luminaire, the median longitudinal groove of the second branch being shaped in width to receive a portion of the edge projecting from the reflecting surface as an element introduced into the groove with a clearance just sufficient to allow the introduction of the portion of the edge projecting into the groove, the support panel having a passage for inserting the electric cable of the luminaire from its edge from which the reflecting surface projects out and emerges through the opposite edge of the support panel.
Pour le deuxième mode de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention décrit précédemment pour le luminaire, la surface réfléchissante est au même niveau que le panneau de support du côté du bord de fixation du luminaire, un bord du panneau de support formant le bord de fixation du luminaire, la rainure longitudinale médiane de la deuxième branche étant conformée en largeur pour recevoir un insert en tant qu'élément introduit dans la rainure avec un jeu juste suffisant pour permettre l'introduction de l'insert dans la rainure, la pièce de raccordement étant associée à une patte de fixation présentant un socle portant l'insert faisant saillie du socle, le panneau de support présentant un passage d'insertion du câble électrique du luminaire partant du bord du panneau de support et débouchant par le bord opposé.For the second preferred embodiment of the invention described above for the luminaire, the reflecting surface is at the same level as the support panel on the side of the fixing edge of the luminaire, one edge of the support panel forming the fixing edge of the luminaire. luminaire, the median longitudinal groove of the second branch being shaped in width to receive an insert as an element introduced into the groove with a clearance just sufficient to allow the insertion of the insert into the groove, the connecting piece being associated with a fixing lug having a base carrying the insert projecting from the base, the support panel having a passage insertion of the electric cable of the luminaire starting from the edge of the support panel and emerging from the opposite edge.

La deuxième branche 2b présente une rainure 5 longitudinale médiane débouchant à une extrémité libre de la deuxième branche 2b de la pièce de raccordement 2 et présentant une lumière débouchant sur deux faces opposées latérales de la deuxième branche 2b, ceci essentiellement pour correspondre au premier mode préférentiel de l'invention pour lequel le luminaire 1 est fixé au miroir 3 en introduisant une portion de bord 13a de la surface réfléchissante 3a dépassante dans la rainure 5 longitudinale.The
De ce fait, la rainure 5 longitudinale peut présenter une largeur de 3 à 6 millimètres qui correspond à l'épaisseur de la majorité des surfaces réfléchissantes 3a des miroirs 3. La rainure 5 longitudinale peut présenter une longueur suffisante pour que, quand un élément 13a, 6b est introduit dans la rainure 5 en présentant ladite largeur de la rainure 5 minorée d'un jeu juste suffisant pour permettre son introduction dans la rainure 5, le luminaire 1 soit maintenu en position par rapport à l'élément 13a, 6b.Therefore, the
