Description

Socket for walls.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a socket for walls, of the type that are fixed on the lower area of the walls to protect the wall and cover the defined edge by the wall with the floor, providing a better finish.

Background of the invention

Conventional sockets are constituted for a series of elongated pieces that are placed consecutively at the bottom of the walls, next to the floor, to protect the surface finish of bumps and dirt. These sockets are a element clearly visible in any situation and therefore it perform in various materials and forms to result decorative and aesthetic, but have no advantages other than mentioned.

In turn, emergency lighting in public buildings and facilities must be enough to allow anyone to orient themselves towards nearest exit in adverse conditions, such as the presence of smoke or the failure of the main lighting. For it small autonomous luminaires are available at the top of emergency doors and key points, which provide the fair light to get your bearings However, these doors and exits of emergencies are usually arranged in areas not visible due to their aesthetic appearance, for example in corners, with which the real perception of the emergency luminaire only occurs when people are quite close.

There is also the problem of orientation in in case the room or room is filling with thick smoke. In this situation, the smoke rises to the top near the ceiling, hiding or hindering lighting lighting located at a high level.

Description of the invention

The wall socket of this invention, it presents some technical peculiarities destined to facilitate a effective and clearly visible emergency lighting whenever precise, keeping said emergency lighting elements  hidden by the socket itself, so that they go unnoticed when they are not in operation.

In effect, the base includes pieces of general section as an inverted "L", whose upper wing it has an electrically insulating support on its lower face on which at least two tracks are mounted longitudinally electrically conductive and a row of LEDs, oriented towards the lower zone and connected to said feeding tracks electric

In this way, once installed, the socket It looks similar to a conventional socket. Without However, when they activate the emergency lights, for example in the fire evacuation, the LEDs light up, powered by the voltage supplied by the tracks electrically conductors, illuminating the floor and the lower area of the base, of so that said emergency lighting is notoriously visible and without being affected by possible smoke. In addition the lighting of the area next to the walls and floor is a very clear guide and intuitive towards the exit, allowing the user to Easily appreciate where you step on having the wall as a reference side and clearly observe the possible steps, ramps or unevenness

Each piece of socket has at its ends connectors, male and female, for the electrical connection of the tracks of the successive pieces of the socket with each other or with a unit of feeding. In this way when installing the successive pieces of the socket, simultaneously conforms the electrical installation necessary for diode power LED, avoiding the realization of electrical installations additional. The power unit supplies the power necessary for the power of all the LEDs connected to along the socket. This power unit may be connected to the emergency lighting installation of the building so that the lighting of the socket is activated together with other emergency signaling elements.

According to the invention, one of the extreme connectors, for example the male connector, protrudes by one end of the socket piece, lie that the other connector, in this case the female connector, is flush with the opposite end of the socket part, so that when approaching two adjacent parts during the installation of the socket the electrical connection between the respective tracks of the successive Socket parts without intermediate elements.

These electrically conductive tracks are coated with protective and insulating varnish that protects them from the humidity and possible short circuits in case a product is produced accidental contact with water, metal parts, or electrically conductive

LEDs can be arranged in series on an electrically conductive intermediate track, connected by its ends to the main tracks, to balance the tension of supply with the load of consumption.

It is planned that through a controller properly, the LEDs can be switched on and off intermittently or sequentially to indicate the direction to continue to the door or emergency exit.

It is also planned that the socket can be use as ambient or spectacular lighting, for example in cinemas or in party rooms for its decorative appearance and different.

The pieces of the socket are constituted preferably by an extruded profile, for example aluminum or plastic These pieces have on their backs at least a longitudinal guide for fixing to the wall by means of studs or brackets. This avoids the use of screws seen from the outside.

Turn the upper wing, which stands out in cantilever towards the frontal area of the socket, presents at its end a longitudinal nerve, for the protection of the tracks and the LEDs of possible impacts and dirt.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view bottom of the socket.

- Figure 2 shows a profile view sectioned from a socket installed on a wall.

- Figure 3 shows a lower detail of the coupling of the connectors of two adjacent sockets.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the base includes pieces (1), constituted by a extruded profile, of aluminum or plastic, of section in "L" inverted, whose upper wing (11) has on its lower face a support (2) electrically insulated on which they are mounted  longitudinally electrically conductive tracks (21) for the power supply of a row of LEDs (3), oriented towards below, for floor lighting in proximity to the wall.

The pieces (1) present on its back side two longitudinal glues (12) for fixing to the wall by studs or brackets (4), avoiding the use of screws visible from the outside. In turn, the upper wing (11) of the piece (1) has a longitudinal nerve at its anterior end (13) for the protection of tracks (21) and LEDs (3) adjacent.

The electrically insulating support (2) and the conductive tracks (21) are arranged longitudinally at length of the upper wing (11) of the pieces (1) and connected by one from its ends to a male connector (51) protruding from the piece (1) and at the opposite end of a female connector (52) flush with the end of the piece (1). Both connectors (51, 52) are suitable for the electrical connection of the tracks (21) of two pieces (1) Consecutive during mounting of the socket. The LEDs (3) are are regularly distributed throughout the support (2) electrically insulating and arranged in series on a track (22) electrically conductive intermediate, connected at its ends opposite, to the respective feeding tracks (21) electric

The electrically conductive tracks (21, 22) They are coated with an insulating protective varnish (not represented).

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
