Description

Technical field of the invention

The invention relates to such construction of the adjustable fastening mechanism of the thermal evaporator for the shade of the light source, where the intensity of evaporation depends on the mutual distance of the thermal evaporator from the light source. The invention falls into the area of useful interior accessories.

Background of the invention

Scented lamps, evaporators and water diffusers with possibly fragrant oils are currently common decorative and useful accessories for interiors and especially households. Thermal water evaporators based on various heat sources are known from state of the art, such as e.g. paraffin or oil burner, catalytic source, hot stones or light bulb, which results in their applicability in households, offices, saunas, etc. Scented lamps are largely based on a heat source which is a paraffin or oil burner. Water diffusers, possibly containing fragrant oils, are based on blowing a cold water vapour.
The solution described in document US 6328935 B1 is known in the state of the art, wherein the aroma batcher comprises the flame source for providing heat, the open, porous annular ceramic substrate adapted to absorb and reversibly retain an amount of at least one aromatic fluid therein and the support structure for maintaining the porous substrate in the coaxial distance above each other from the flame source. The heat generated by the flame source induces a retained aromatic fluid in the substrate to dissipate into the ambient air. The supporting structure is the vertical telescopic rod element locked by screws that manipulate the height of the annular ceramic substrate with the contained aromatic fluid.
Another solution from the state of the art described in document DE 29807474 U , where the aroma dish is attached firmly above the heat source and the height of the heat source itself is adjusted on vertical rods.
Another solution from the state of the art described in document JP 3175002 U , where an aroma dish is inserted into the tight hole in the lamp shade above the heat source without the possibility of height adjustment of the distance of the heat source from the heat evaporator dish.
The Korean patent document KR101895189 B1 , British patent document GB404770 A , the Korean patent document KR2016 0028698 A and the US patent document US4493011A from the state of art disclose an adjustable fastening mechanism of a thermal evaporator for a light source shade, comprising a base with fastening components for the shade and adjustable fastening components for the thermal evaporator dish.
The deficiencies of the existing solutions described above are that the heat sources are primarily open flame burners, which do not guarantee sufficient protection against possible fire in the event of the lamp tipping over. Also, the adjustment constructions, which change the mutual distance of the heat source from the axes of the heat evaporator dish, are open on the outside and do not have to match the design with the interior where the evaporator is located. In some solutions, the height adjustment of the mutual distance of the heat source from the axis of the heat evaporator dish requires performing the operations on several adjustment elements, which makes the handling more complicated.

Summary of the invention

The shortcomings in the state of the art in the field of thermal fragrance lamp evaporators are solved by the proposed construction of the adjustable fastening mechanism of the thermal evaporator for the light source shade, the essence of which lies in the fact that it consists of the base with the possible sight glass. The base can have different geometric shapes. It is a shape e.g. ring, disc. They are fixed to the base e.g. by means of screws, fastening components e.g. in the shape of rods. By means of these fastening members, the base is fastened to the shade via the terminal fastening elements, which can be hooks or clamps, or pliers, screws, or magnets. It is advantageous to fasten the base to the shade in the upper part of the shade. However, the base can also be fixed under the light source and attached to the shade. Furthermore, the base also has adjustable fastening components for changing the distance of the dish of the thermal evaporator from the light source in order to change the intensity of evaporation. The adjustable fastening components for changing the distance of the dish of the thermal evaporator from the light source are of the construction which is formed by at least two coulisses that are arranged parallel on the sides of the base and are also fastened by screws. Each coulisse of the adjustable fastening component has a longitudinal groove with the set of adjoining sloping grooves. The adjustable dish holder with at least two stones fitting into the sloping grooves in one plane is located between the coulisses. The dish holder is also not limited in shape, in this case, it is the coarse solid wire formed into a circle, but it can also be e.g. a short tube in height or simply a surface capable of carrying the dish. From the point of view of stability, it is advantageous to use three coulisses with three stones. The construction with two coulisses and two stones is also used. In order to facilitate handling during the height adjustment of the dish, the adjustable dish holder has the attached control handle as the holder, which can alternatively be attached also to the stones. The control handle can be used in the construction, but the adjustable dish holder can also be without the handle.
Another essential feature of the solution according to the invention is the possibility of flexible attachment of the fastening components to the shade of the light source of different diameters and from different manufacturers. This is achieved in that the fastening components of the light source shade holder are adjustable in length. This can be realized e.g. by telescopic rods with spring.
The advantages of the adjustable fastening mechanism of the thermal evaporator for the light source shade according to the invention are evident from its effects, which are shown externally. The effects and originality of the present construction lie in the fact that it is safe because it does not use an open flame. The heat source is the light source e.g. from a tungsten filament lamp or a halogen lamp or an LED light source.
Evaporation intensity control is provided by the simple mechanism with manual adjustment of the thermal evaporator dish above the light source. It is also universal, as it can be attached to various light source shades with the use of length-adjustable fastening components. To change the relative position between the heat source and the thermal evaporator, a smaller number of actions is also required compared to other state-of-the-art solutions and is, therefore, faster and easier overall.
