Abstract

Ballast (1) for a discharge lamp, the bottom (2) of which consists of metal washers, in which a fastening hole or a fastening cut-out (3) is (are) made out of two ends of the ballast for passage of fastening screws (5) which are fixed into the lighting framework (6), characterised in that the fastening screws (5), constituting parts mounted in connection with the ballast (1), are supported by the support members which are composed at least of one of the following variants: 1) plastic arms (9) extending beyond the junction box of the ballast; 2) a vibration damper (4) which is mounted on the abovementioned fastening hole or fastening cut-out (3); 3) a washer (7) for the screw connected to an earth wire (8).

Description

BALLAST POUR LAMPE A DECHARGE
L'invention concerne un ballast pour une lampe à décharge dont le fond est constitué de plaques métalliques, dans lequel un trou de fixation ou découpe de fixation est situé(e) aux deux extrémités du ballast pour le passage des vis de fixation qui sont calées dans l'armature d'éclairage.
BALLAST FOR DISCHARGE LAMP
The invention relates to a ballast for a discharge lamp, the bottom of which is made of metal plates, in which a fixing hole or fixing cut-out is located at both ends of the ballast for the passage of fixing screws which are wedged in the lighting fixture.

La fixation du ballast sur un élément d'éclairage s'effectue aujourd'hui avec les vis fournies et/ou installées par les fabricants d'éléments d'éclairage. The ballast is fixed to a lighting element today using the screws supplied and / or installed by the lighting element manufacturers.

Les vis sont de courtes vis normalisées, le fabricant de ballast devant veiller à ce que l'épaisseur du matériau soit suffisamment faible dans le voisinage du trou de fixation ou de la découpe de fixation. Cela empêche entre autres l'utilisation des amortisseurs de vibration qui sont situés autour des vis sur les deux côtés du fond. L'installation des différentes vis dans des espaces étroits est également difficile.The screws are short standard screws, the ballast manufacturer having to ensure that the thickness of the material is sufficiently small in the vicinity of the fixing hole or the fixing cutout. This inter alia prevents the use of vibration dampers which are located around the screws on both sides of the bottom. Installing the different screws in narrow spaces is also difficult.

L'objectif de l'invention consiste à réaliser un ballast amélioré dans lequel la vis de fixation a déjà été montée dans le ballast, de telle façon que le fabricant d'éléments d'éclairage n'a pas besoin de fournir et/ou de monter la vis. Dans ce cas, la vis de fixation peut être assez longue pour percer l'amortisseur de vibration enveloppant qui possède des brides relativement épaisses sur les deux côtés du fond du ballast. The object of the invention is to provide an improved ballast in which the fixing screw has already been mounted in the ballast, so that the manufacturer of lighting elements does not need to supply and / or mount the screw. In this case, the fixing screw can be long enough to pierce the enveloping vibration damper which has relatively thick flanges on both sides of the bottom of the ballast.

L'objectif de cette invention est atteint sur la base des caractéristiques présentées d'un ballast pour lampe à décharge, dont le fond est constitué de rondelles métalliques, dans lequel un trou de fixation ou une découpe de fixation est réalisé(e) aux deux extrémités du ballast pour le passage des vis de fixation qui se fixent dans l'armature d'éclairage, caractérisé en ce que les vis de fixation, en tant que pièces montées en liaison avec le ballast, sont supportées par des organes de support. The objective of this invention is achieved on the basis of the characteristics presented of a ballast for a discharge lamp, the bottom of which consists of metal washers, in which a fixing hole or a fixing cut-out is made in both. ends of the ballast for the passage of the fixing screws which are fixed in the lighting fixture, characterized in that the fixing screws, as parts mounted in connection with the ballast, are supported by support members.

Les deux exemples de réalisation de l'invention sont décrits en se référant aux dessins joints sur lesquels
la figure 1 présente le ballast suivant l'invention sous la forme d'un schéma vu depuis la face avant; et
la figure 2 présente une autre forme possible de réalisation de l'invention.
The two exemplary embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shows the ballast according to the invention in the form of a diagram seen from the front face; and
Figure 2 shows another possible embodiment of the invention.

Sur la figure 1, sur le fond (2) du ballast (1) se trouve, aux deux extrémités, un trou de fixation ou une découpe de fixation (3), dans lequel/laquelle est monté un amortisseur de vibrations (4) qui possède des brides relativement épaisses sur les deux côtés du fond (2) au voisinage du trou ou de la découpe (3). Une vis de fixation (5) autotaraudeuse relativement longue est montée dans le trou de l'amortisseur (4). Avec la vis (5), il est possible de fixer le ballast (1) dans l'armature de l'élément d'éclairage. Pour le raccordement à la terre, la rondelle (7) de la vis (5) est raccordée par un fil de terre (8) à l'enveloppe métallique du ballast (1). Le trou de l'amortisseur de vibrations (4) ou de la rondelle (7) est dimensionné de façon suffisamment étroite pour que la vis soit bien calée en tant que pièce montée du ballast (1). In Figure 1, on the bottom (2) of the ballast (1) there is, at both ends, a fixing hole or a fixing cutout (3), in which / which is mounted a vibration damper (4) which has relatively thick flanges on both sides of the bottom (2) near the hole or the cutout (3). A relatively long self-tapping fixing screw (5) is mounted in the shock absorber hole (4). With the screw (5), it is possible to fix the ballast (1) in the frame of the lighting element. For earth connection, the washer (7) of the screw (5) is connected by a ground wire (8) to the metal casing of the ballast (1). The hole of the vibration damper (4) or of the washer (7) is dimensioned sufficiently narrow so that the screw is properly wedged as a mounted part of the ballast (1).

Sur la figure 2, des bras en matière plastique (9) sortent de la boîte de jonction du ballast et supportent la vis (5) en la maintenant dans la position prête à l'emploi. Cependant, les bras en matière plastique (9) sont suffisamment faibles pour plier et céder quand la vis (5) est vissée à l'aide du tournevis.  In FIG. 2, plastic arms (9) come out of the ballast junction box and support the screw (5) while keeping it in the ready-to-use position. However, the plastic arms (9) are weak enough to bend and yield when the screw (5) is screwed in using the screwdriver.
