Description

Luminary.

The present invention relates to a luminaire, particularly to an urban luminaire, whose reflector or Light emitting source can be oriented in any direction.

Background of the invention

The urban luminaries known today They are equipped with a reflector or light source and are mounted at the end of a pole or arm.

In many cases the luminaires are fixed with respect to the pole or arm, so that you cannot orient your position. This has the disadvantage that it cannot accurately determine the area to be illuminated with the urban luminaire

In other cases there are luminaires which are coupled to the pole or arm by means of an element of articulation, but said articulation element only allows orient the reflector in a single plane, or maximum two planes in some models, that is, the luminaire can only rotate with respect to the pole around a horizontal and / or vertical axis. These articulation element allow to partially orient the reflector or light source, but do not allow to optimize the addressing of the light emitted by the luminaire.

Description of the invention

With the luminaire of the invention are achieved solve the aforementioned problems, presenting other advantages that They will be described.

The luminaire of the present invention equipped with a reflector or light source attaches to a pole or arm through an articulation element, and is characterized by the fact that said articulation element comprises a part substantially spherical, said part housing substantially spherical in a complementary spherical seat in the luminaire.

Thanks to this feature it is possible orient the reflector or light source in any direction and optimize the luminous flux provided by the luminaire of the present invention, since there is no limitation in the orientation of it.

Said articulation element is placed preferably at the end of said post or arm, and said Complementary seat is placed in the luminaire.

According to two alternative embodiments, said articulation element is straight or curved in order to cover the all possible positions.

The luminaire of the present invention It allows:

- the orientation of the luminous flux in any direction of space continuously, without staggering;

- the orientation of the luminous flux in any direction of the space, operation performed " in situ " and in operation; Y

- the orientation of the luminous flux in any direction of the space, operation performed " in situ " and in operation and continuously, without stepping.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of how much has been exposed Some drawings are accompanied in which, schematically and only to title of non-limiting example, a practical case of realization.

Figures 1 to 4 are schematic views sections of the luminaire of the present invention, according to four alternative embodiments for pole or arm mounting with straight or curved articulation elements.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen in the figures, the luminaire 1 of the present invention comprises a reflector or source light emitter that attaches to a pole or arm 2, coupled between yes through an articulation element 3.

Said articulation element 3, which is placed at the end of the post or arm 2, comprises a part substantially spherical 4, which is housed in a housing complementary 5 provided in said luminaire 1.

In this way, the spherical part 4 moving in the spherical seat 5 it allows the luminaire 1 to be oriented in any address

For example, it is provided that said luminaire 1 can be oriented 45 ° in any direction, continuously without staggering Until optimal flow positioning is achieved bright.

In figures 1 to 4 four are represented different embodiments of the luminaire of the present invention.

In Figure 1, the longitudinal axes of the luminaire 1 and post 2 are substantially perpendicular, the articulation element 3 being straight.

On the other hand, in figure 2, the only difference with respect to the embodiment represented in figure 1 is that said articulation element 3 is curved to be able to be installed on posts 2 of inclined termination.

In Figure 3, the longitudinal axes of the luminaire 1 and post 2 are substantially parallel or are substantially aligned, also being the element of 3 straight joint.

On the other hand, in figure 4, the only difference with respect to the embodiment represented in figure 3 is that said articulation element 3 is curved to be able to install in arms 2 of inclined termination.

Although reference has been made to a Concrete embodiment of the invention is evident to an expert in the matter that the luminaire described is susceptible to numerous variations and modifications, and that all the details mentioned they can be replaced by technically equivalent ones, without depart from the scope of protection defined by the claims attached.

Claims (4)
