Mode de réalisation prétêré de L'invention. Presumed embodiment of the invention.
Le dispositif pour protéger les connexions électriques des bornes 6 des tubes fluorescents 4 objet de l'invention qui, comme exemple non liiitatif de réalisation est représente sur les dessins annexés, consiste en un corps cylindrique creux 1, pourvu d'au moins une embouchure 2 disposée coaxialement à l'une des bases du cylindre. The device for protecting the electrical connections of the terminals 6 of the fluorescent tubes 4 which is the subject of the invention which, as a non-limiting example of embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings, consists of a hollow cylindrical body 1, provided with at least one mouth 2 arranged coaxially to one of the bases of the cylinder.
Cette embouchure se présente sous la forme d'un cylindre creux de section circulaire, ayant les dimensions adéquates pour recevoir, par eibotage, l'une des extrémités d'un tube fluorescent 4. Le diamètre du cylindre creux que forme ladite embouchure 2, est déterminé de façon que ledit cylindre puisse s'appuyer étroiteient sur L'extrémité d'un tube fluorescent 4, en forant, de La sorte, un bouchon totaLement étanche, particuLièrement à L'eau et à l'huiidité. Selon ce mode d'exécution, La base du cylindre 1 opposée à l'embouchure 2 est ferme par une paroi 8. This mouthpiece is in the form of a hollow cylinder of circular section, having the dimensions suitable for receiving, by eibotage, one of the ends of a fluorescent tube 4. The diameter of the hollow cylinder formed by said mouthpiece 2, is determined so that said cylinder can rest narrowly on the end of a fluorescent tube 4, thereby drilling a fully sealed plug, particularly with water and oil. According to this embodiment, the base of the cylinder 1 opposite the mouth 2 is closed by a wall 8.
La surface latérale du corps creux 1, tel qu'il est représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, est unie d'au oins une deuxième embouchure 3 de section circulaire et de dimensions adéquates pour recevoir par eiboltage les extrémités des câbles électriques 5 pour Les connexions électriques, en forant ainsi un bouchon étanche, en particulier à L'eau et à l'humidité ; l'axe de cette deuxième embouchure est, de préférence orienté radialement par rapport au corps 1. The lateral surface of the hollow body 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is joined at least by a second mouth 3 of circular section and of dimensions suitable for receiving by eiboltage the ends of the electric cables 5 for the electrical connections, thus drilling a tight plug, in particular against water and humidity; the axis of this second mouth is preferably oriented radially with respect to the body 1.
Le matériau dont est fabrique le dispositif de l'invention doit être suffisamment résistant aux intempéries, en particulier aux rayons ultraviolets, et en général aux altérations atmosphériques, afin de garantir la fermeture étanche de la connexion. Ledit matériau doit posséder, en outre, d'excellentes propriétés diélectriques. The material from which the device of the invention is manufactured must be sufficiently resistant to weathering, in particular to ultraviolet rays, and in general to atmospheric alterations, in order to guarantee the tight closure of the connection. Said material must also have excellent dielectric properties.
D'autre part, la flexibilité du atériau doit être telle qu'elle puisse permettre à la deuxième embouchure 3 de s'ajuster aux divers types de câbles électriques 5. Cette flexibilité est également nécessaire pour faciliter de façon adéquate la connexion des bornes 6 des tubes fluorescents 4 aux connecteurs terminaux 7 des câbles électriques 5, tel qu'il est représenté sur la figure 3. On the other hand, the flexibility of the material must be such that it can allow the second mouth 3 to adjust to the various types of electrical cables 5. This flexibility is also necessary to adequately facilitate the connection of the terminals 6 of the fluorescent tubes 4 to the terminal connectors 7 of the electric cables 5, as shown in FIG. 3.
Une autre caractéristique avantageuse du atériau du dispositif de L'invention, est qu'il est préférableient transparent ou translucide, ce qui permet de déterminer la position relative des bornes 6 des tubes fluorescents 4, par rapport aux connecteurs terminaux 7 des câbles électriques 5 pendant l'opération de montage. On est arrivé à la conclusion que le matériau qui répond le lieux à ces exigences est La silicone. Another advantageous characteristic of the material of the device of the invention is that it is preferably transparent or translucent, which makes it possible to determine the relative position of the terminals 6 of the fluorescent tubes 4, with respect to the terminal connectors 7 of the electric cables 5 during the mounting operation. We have come to the conclusion that the material that meets these requirements is silicone.
Sur les figures 4 et 5, est représentée une autre forme de réalisation du dispositif de l'invention, suivant laquele le corps creux 1 préférableient cylindrique présente deux embouchures 2, disposées coaxialeîent aux deux bases ou extrémités du cylindre pour recevoir par emboftage, Les extréiités de deux tubes fluorescents 4 disposés dans l'alignement l'une de l'autre. Sur sa surface latérale, le corps cylindrique creux 1, présente deux embouchures 3, orientées radialement et destinées à recevoir, par emboîtage, les extrémités des câbles 5 pour les connexions électriques correspondantes des deux tubes fluorescents 4. In FIGS. 4 and 5, another embodiment of the device of the invention is shown, according to which the hollow cylindrical preferential body 1 has two mouths 2, arranged coaxially at the two bases or ends of the cylinder for receiving by embedding, the ends of two fluorescent tubes 4 arranged in alignment with one another. On its lateral surface, the hollow cylindrical body 1 has two mouths 3, oriented radially and intended to receive, by fitting, the ends of the cables 5 for the corresponding electrical connections of the two fluorescent tubes 4.
Les caractéristiques de la forcie de construction, ainsi que celles du matériau eiployé dans cette deuxième forme de réalisation de L'invention, sont semblables à celles qui ont été décrites précédemment pour la première réalisation représentée aux figures 1, 2 et 3. The characteristics of the construction force, as well as those of the material deployed in this second embodiment of the invention, are similar to those which have been described previously for the first embodiment represented in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
