FR2656919A2 - Device for utilisation of a spongy body for humidifying hot air - Google Patents

Abstract

While remaining within the scope of the main patent no.89/06146, this description puts in concrete form the combination of a screen of humidifiable sponges with a standard lamp. The turning cover of this standard lamp comprises a lateral window which makes it possible to direct, via a supplementary outlet, the flow of humidified hot air towards the person who is breathing or in the opposite direction.

Description

Spongy body use devices
T) for humidification of hot air this certificate of adAition, relates to a combination or association, of a lamppost with humidifiable sponge elements, such as stackable fan crowns (or ramps) described in patent application NO 89 / 06I46 from 2 MAY I989 by the same author.

the floor lamps commonly used with reflective caps (lampshades) of trapezoidal, cylindrical or cubic shape, are
characterized by the definitive fixing of this cap on the socket
lamp, without having other functions than the diffusion of light
and ornamentation.

This adaptation, which falls within the scope of the claims
I, 2, and 5 of the aforementioned patent application, consists in giving
three additional functions to this hat.

First, simply installed, it serves as a hot air nozzle for
moisten, while coating the crowns or ramps with humi sponges
trusted.

In two it turns, and its periphery is not complete. A
opening or side window is fitted to allow directing
the double flow, of light and humidified air, towards the person who
breathe or opnose.

In three, the circumference of this hat, removable, interchangeable,
consists of washable material among other "fabrics". tissues
absorb and reject moisture. They act as a filter,
retaining the dust, which they leave in the washing machine
just like crowns or ramps, designed to do this
In the case of this floor lamp, the bulbs are located at the base of the
ramps or crowns of sponges, and cause the flow of hot air
amount in the nozzle (cylindrical cap 9 trapezoidal or cubic)
Without bulbs, this floor lamp placed in front of and above a hot air convector, (as a lure for lighting) keeps its functions of humidifier with directed flow
More or less distant from the convector, it becomes regulator, because the ambient air acts by suction on the humidified sponges (example headboard)
Finally, this arrangement is not limited to the aforementioned single embodiment 9, it embraces all the variants thereof, and will be better understood by referring to the attached schematic drawings.

Figure I sectional view 9 without hat, shows a floor lamp comprising a support base on the ground (I) surmcnté a grid, circular platform (2) serving as a fixing support for amr hens (3). At the center of this grid, a tubular column (4) allows to receive at its top an axis of rotation (5) depending on a removable grid (6). This grid provided with hooks allows the support of the sponge ramps (7).

Figure 2, avec'chapeau (8) shows in section the same device as in Figure I. the hat, hollowed out at its top, can also be fitted with a grid (9). It is simply placed, with centering system (not shown) on the rotating assembly (6) and (7).

Figure 3 shows in section a lamppost 9 comprising a support base on furniture (IO), heap ramps (7) are replaced by crowns of sponges (II) arranged in fans. The cap (2) hollowed out at its top (also removable) is integral with the supports (13).

ta Figure 4 front view, is characterized by the cap (I4) for coating the aforementioned upper elements. the periphery of this cap has no opening whereas in FIG. 5, a window (15) is arranged to allow an additional evacuation of humidified air.

ta Figure 6, plumb view, represents the location of the bulbs (3) 9 as well as the grid (6), with ramps of sponges (7), relative to the base grid (2).

FIG. 7, a sectional view, is a reminder (already described in the main patent application) of a ramp of circular sponges MWme note for FIG. 8. It relates to a crown of sponges arranged in a fan around a hub (16). (sponges (17) FIG. 9 shows a detail of the superposition, by element, of the fan crowns. A removable sleeve (I8) abuts inside the hub (I6) carrying the sponges ('7) on lugs (I9) at mid height.

 It should be specified 9 that it goes without saying that the nature or consistency of sponges or spongy bodies can be vegetable, synthetic or other, just as their shape or dimensions g can be obtained directly from manufacture, by molding or extrusion.

This last remark can effectively allow cost prices and profitable production rates.

For information, each set of sponge ramps or crowns
fans, can absorb (depending on size of the lamp) in susten
tation and total retention: O liter 500 to I liter 1/2 of water for
O m2 350 to 0 m2 700 of evaporation surface.

Evaporation per 24 hours following distance or approximation of a
convector (lamp not lit):
O liter 120 (17/18 degrees) Regulator / O liter 800 (25 / ca 5 degrees)
humidifier. . lights on the floor lamp is a humidifier.

A variant dependent on claim I of the patent application
vet principal would consist in accommodating an electrical resistance: either
inside the column (5) Fig I, or inside the
sleeves (I8) and hubs (I6) fig 9.
In the latter case, maintenance of the sponges can be ensured
by crimping.
