Abstract

The invention relates to a device for illuminating an area, in particular a reading area, in background darkness, in which, onto a casing 12 with a window 13, in which is housed an electric bulb 11, is fixed the end of a wire 17 formed permanently in one or two helical turns 18, 19 allowing it to be threaded onto the finger of a hand.

Description

Dispositif de maintien manuel d'une lampe électrique
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de maintien manuel d'une lampe électrique.
Device for manually holding an electric lamp
The subject of the invention is a device for manually holding an electric lamp.

On connaît de très nombreux dispositifs de maintien manuel d'une lampe électrique.Many devices are known for manually holding an electric lamp.

C'est quelquefois le corps de la lampe maintenant l'ampoule électrique qui est utilisé pour la préhension à la main.It is sometimes the body of the lamp holding the electric bulb that is used for gripping by hand.

C'est le cas, par exemple, où la lampe électrique comprend une ampoule associée à une source électrique, comme une pile, logée dans un boîtier, qui constitue le corps de lampe.This is the case, for example, where the electric lamp comprises a bulb associated with an electric source, such as a battery, housed in a housing, which constitutes the lamp body.

Dans d'autres cas, l'ampoule électrique étant alimentée à partir du secteur, c'est le fil conducteur reliant l'ampoule au secteur qui est utilisé à cet effet.In other cases, the electric bulb being supplied from the sector, it is the conductive wire connecting the bulb to the sector which is used for this purpose.

L'invention procède d'une conception différente. Elle vise un dispositif applicable principalement aux lampes électriques de faible poids, notamment celles qui sont alimentées à partir d'un conducteur souple dont l'autre extrémité est reliée à une fiche de batterie, et ce dispositif est caractérisé par ce fait que de la lampe électrique dépend un support filiforme présentant une ou deux spires hélicoîdales qui permettent l'introduction du doigt d'une main, la rigidité relative du fil support assurant le maintien en position de la lampe aussi longtemps que le doigt n'est pas désenfilé des spires. The invention proceeds from a different conception. It relates to a device applicable mainly to light electric lamps, in particular those which are supplied from a flexible conductor whose other end is connected to a battery plug, and this device is characterized by the fact that the lamp electric depends on a filiform support having one or two helical turns which allow the introduction of the finger of one hand, the relative rigidity of the support wire ensuring the maintenance in position of the lamp as long as the finger is not disengaged from the turns.

La légèreté de l'ensemble constitué par la lampe et le support, éventuellement une partie du fil d'alimentation, permet de soutenir le dispositif par un doigt d'une main, sans fatigue excessive.The lightness of the assembly constituted by the lamp and the support, possibly a part of the supply wire, makes it possible to support the device by a finger of one hand, without excessive fatigue.

D'autre part, par simple déplacement de la main, il est possible d'éclairer la zone qu'on désire observer et de maintenir sans fatigue l'ampoule électrique à l'emplacement requis.On the other hand, by simple movement of the hand, it is possible to light the area that one wishes to observe and to maintain the light bulb without fatigue in the required location.

Dans la description qui suit, d'une forme de réalisation choisie à titre d'exemple, on se réfère au dessin annexé, qui est une vue perspective schématique.In the following description, of an embodiment chosen by way of example, reference is made to the appended drawing, which is a schematic perspective view.

L'ampoule électrique 11 est logée dans un boîtier 12 ménageant une fenêtre 13 qui laisse passage aux rayons lumineux émis par l'ampoule et destinée à l'éclairage par exemple d'une surface de lecture. L'ampoule est alimentée par un fil conducteur 4 dont l'autre extrémité est reliable à une source de courant, par exemple par une fiche 15 destinée à coopérer avec un allume-cigare prévu dans l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile.The electric bulb 11 is housed in a housing 12 providing a window 13 which allows passage to the light rays emitted by the bulb and intended for lighting, for example a reading surface. The bulb is supplied by a conducting wire 4, the other end of which is connectable to a current source, for example by a plug 15 intended to cooperate with a cigar lighter provided in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle.

Le boîtier 12 se prolonge par un culot 16 duquel dépend un fil 17 conformé, à une distance relativement faible du culot,suivant une ou deux spires hélicoidales sensiblement circulaires 18 et 19. Le fil 17 est suffisamment souple pour permettre cette conformation mais suffisamment rigide pour que les spires conservent leur forme, sauf si on exerce sur le fil un effort relativement important.The housing 12 is extended by a base 16 from which a shaped wire 17 depends, at a relatively small distance from the base, along one or two substantially circular helical turns 18 and 19. The wire 17 is sufficiently flexible to allow this conformation but sufficiently rigid to that the turns retain their shape, unless a relatively large effort is exerted on the wire.

Il suffit à l'utilisateur d'enfiler un doigt dans la cheminée cylindrique 21 limitée par les spires 18,19 pour que le boîtier 12 porteur de l'ampoule électrique 11 conserve sa position par rapport audit doigt. Par simple approche de la main d'une surface à éclairer, par exemple un livre, ou une carte, on assure un éclairement suffisant pour la lecture ou une autre observation requise. Le carter ou boîtier 12 évite l'éblouissement par l'ampoule 11.It suffices for the user to thread a finger into the cylindrical chimney 21 limited by the turns 18, 19 so that the housing 12 carrying the electric bulb 11 retains its position relative to said finger. By simply approaching by hand a surface to be lit, for example a book, or a map, sufficient lighting is provided for reading or other required observation. The casing or housing 12 prevents glare from the bulb 11.

La main reste cependant libre, ce qui permet, s'il est souhaité, de réaliser avec elle tout actionnement désiré, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de dégager le doigt des spires dans lesquelles il est enfilé.The hand remains free, however, which allows, if desired, to carry out with it any desired actuation, without it being necessary to release the finger from the turns in which it is threaded.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet donc d'assurer une lecture dans l'obscurité, sans réduire sensiblement les possibilités d'actionnement et de manoeuvre de l'usager. The device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to ensure reading in the dark, without significantly reducing the possibilities of actuation and maneuvering of the user.
