Abstract

The appts. is suitable where distributed lighting without shadows is required. The strip has a very low overall geometry and is both supported and electrically interconnected by a PCB. The light emitting source consists of a series connected line of short tubular filament lamps with a connection stud at each end. The studs are held within spring clips held on the PCB by rivets which also ensure electrical connection to the clips by contacting the metallised undersurface. Connection to the strip is by sockets etc. at both ends. Double sided adhesive tape laid over the PCB lower surface allows the strip to be set in position and also provides protection for the metallising.

Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs d'éclairage de bibliothèques ou autres permettant un éclairage linéaire sur mesure. The present invention relates to library or other lighting devices allowing custom linear lighting.

Les dispositifs connus pour ce genre d'éclairage sont les lampes au néon qui donnent une lumière blanchâtre et terne et qui sont rarement à la mesure de l'endroit à éclairer et les ampoules normales qui éclairent partiellement et créent des ombres sur le support. The known devices for this kind of lighting are the neon lamps which give a whitish and dull light and which are rarely able to measure the place to be lit and the normal bulbs which partially illuminate and create shadows on the support.

Le but de l'invention est d'éviter ces inconvénients. The object of the invention is to avoid these drawbacks.

La lumière n'est ni vive ni terne. Elle est vivante et ressemble à la lumière du jour. Le fait d'avoir plusieurs sources de lumière alignées suivant un axe permet d'éviter les ombres produites par un élément étranger. La lumière est uniforme grâce à uneintensité d'éclairage égale tout au long de l'axe. The light is neither bright nor dull. She is alive and looks like daylight. Having several light sources aligned along an axis avoids the shadows produced by a foreign element. The light is uniform thanks to an equal lighting intensity along the axis.

Le dispositif consiste à fixer des supports sur un substrat faisant office en même temps de conducteur. De l'autre chté du substrat est fixé une matière adhésive double face qui protège le circuit conducteur et permet la fixation de ltensemble sur l'endroit désiré. Le dessin annexe illustre à titre d'exemple un mode de réalisation du dispositif conforme à la présente invention.The device consists in fixing supports on a substrate acting at the same time as a conductor. On the other side of the substrate is fixed a double-sided adhesive material which protects the conductive circuit and allows the fixing of the assembly on the desired location. The accompanying drawing illustrates by way of example an embodiment of the device according to the present invention.

I,e dispositif consiste en un montage d'ampoules navettes branchées en série et dont les connexions sont effectuées par circuit imprimé et qui sert en même temps de support. Des connexions au bord de l'élément permettent l'apport de courant au premier élément et permettent la circulation du courant d'un élément à l'autre. Un ruban adhésif collé c8té cuivre permet l'isolement électrique par rapport au milieu extérieur et permet une fixation adhésive de l'élément. I, e device consists of an assembly of shuttle bulbs connected in series and whose connections are made by printed circuit and which also serves as a support. Connections at the edge of the element allow the supply of current to the first element and allow the flow of current from one element to another. Adhesive tape glued copper c8té allows electrical isolation from the outside environment and allows adhesive fixing of the element.

Tel qu'il est présenté le dispositif comporte un substrat conducteur 4 sur lequel sont fixées des pinces support 2 par l'intermédiaire du rivet 7 qui permet la circulation du courant. Des ampoules genre navette 1 sont posées entre les 2 supports. Un ruban adhésif double face 5 protégé par un papier détachable 6 vient prendre place de l'autre coté du substrat 4. Des connexions 3 permettent la circulation du courant d'un élément à l'autre et l'apport de la tension à la première connexion. As presented, the device comprises a conductive substrate 4 on which are fixed support clips 2 by means of the rivet 7 which allows the flow of current. Bulbs like shuttle 1 are placed between the 2 supports. A double-sided adhesive tape 5 protected by a detachable paper 6 takes place on the other side of the substrate 4. Connections 3 allow the flow of current from one element to another and the supply of voltage to the first connection.

Le dispositif peut être utilisé pour tout eclairage particulier. Son volume peu important permet discrétion et facilité de montage. Il peut être utilisé dans des vitrines, bibliothèques, salles d'exposition, en bordure de la pièce ou dérrière les rideaux.The device can be used for any particular lighting. Its small volume allows discretion and ease of assembly. It can be used in display cases, libraries, exhibition rooms, around the room or behind curtains.

Un autre brevet fait par l'inventeur et qui concerne le même type d'éclairage a été déposé. La tension nominale au bord de l'ancien article breveté est de 12 volts, la tension nominale au bord du nouvel article est de 110 ou 220 volts. Another patent made by the inventor and relating to the same type of lighting has been filed. The nominal voltage at the edge of the old patented article is 12 volts, the nominal voltage at the edge of the new article is 110 or 220 volts.

Il y a plusieurs différences entre les deux produits, dont les différences de branchement et de connexions. There are several differences between the two products, including differences in connection and connections.
