Abstract

The lamp has an enclosing shade which is marked with a design or with information round its entire periphery. The shade has a vertical axis of symmetry. The shade is driven in rotation to allow the complete design, for example a landscape, to be seen, or to allow the full sequence of signal information to be shown to an observer at a particular location.The shade is driven by a small electric motor. The electric motor is powered from a photocell, which generates electric current when exposed to light from the lamp bulb. The motor may alternatively be powered from the AC mains supply, through a rectifier if need be. The lamp shade is in the form of a cone, sphere or cylinder, and is made of a translucent material with the design or information painted onto its surface.

Description

LAMPES ET AUTRES SYSTEMES A ABAT-JOUR TOURNANT
La présente invention concerne un dispositif applicable à tout système comportant une plage rotative décorative ou non, tel qu'une lampe d'éclairage munie de son abat-jour par exemple.LAMPS AND OTHER ROTATING LAMPSHADE SYSTEMS
The present invention relates to a device applicable to any system comprising a rotary range, decorative or not, such as a lighting lamp provided with its lampshade for example.

Elle appartient au domaine technique de l'éclairage ou de la signalisation. It belongs to the technical field of lighting or signaling.

Actuellement les lampes d'éclairage ou de signalisation sont généralement munies d'un écran fixe appelé abat-jour de forme cylindrique, sphérique ou tronc-conique plus ou moins translucide. La fixité de l'abat-jour
ne permet pas de voir sans se déplacer tout son pourtour alors que celui-ci peut présenter sur toute sa surface un motif décoratif tel qu'un paysage dont on ne voit qu'une partie1 ou des plages successives d'aspect différent dont on ne voit pas tous les aspects.Currently lighting or signaling lamps are generally provided with a fixed screen called a cylindrical, spherical or frustoconical shape more or less translucent. The fixity of the lampshade
does not allow to see without moving its entire periphery while it can present over its entire surface a decorative pattern such as a landscape of which we only see a part1 or successive beaches of different appearance which we do not see not all aspects.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de voir défiler devant soi un
paysage ou des aspects changeants de l'abat-jour sans avoir à se déplacer
pour le voir "derrière".The device of the invention makes it possible to see a parade
landscape or changing aspects of the lampshade without having to move
to see it "behind".

I1 consiste, et c'est là le point principal de l'invention, à rendre
l'écran mobile autour de son axe quelle que soit sa forme; il peut être
par exemple cylindrique, tronc-conique, sphérique ou ovalisé dans le
sens de la rotation ou le sens perpendiculaire à celui-ci mais il peut
aussi avoir une forme quelconque.It consists, and this is the main point of the invention, in rendering
the mobile screen around its axis whatever its shape; he can be
for example cylindrical, frusto-conical, spherical or oval in the
sense of rotation or the direction perpendicular to it but it can
also have any shape.

La rotation de l'écran peut être obtenue de plusieurs façons que
l'on va maintenant décrire et qui constituent aussi une partie de
l'invention.Screen rotation can be achieved in several ways that
we will now describe and which also constitute a part of
the invention.

I1 est bien évident que la rotation peut aussi être obtenue à la main. It is obvious that the rotation can also be obtained by hand.

La figure unique annexée représente une vue très schématique de
l'invention
Selon une première réalisation une lampe d'éclairage est constituée
d'un support vertical (1) dont l'extrémité supérieure supporte un petit
moteur (2) à courant continu. L'arbre (3) de ce moteur est tourné vers
le haut. I1 est solidaire d'une partie solide horizontale (4) qui supporte
l'abat-jour (5) par le dessous de celui-ci. L'abat-jour est représenté
sphérique mais il peut être de forme quelconque, par exemple cylindrique,
tronc-conique, sphérique, ovalisé ou de forme quelconque.The single attached figure represents a very schematic view of
the invention
According to a first embodiment a lighting lamp is formed
a vertical support (1) whose upper end supports a small
DC motor (2). The shaft (3) of this motor is turned towards
the top. I1 is integral with a horizontal solid part (4) which supports
the lampshade (5) from below it. The lampshade is represented
spherical but it can be of any shape, for example cylindrical,
trunk-conical, spherical, oval or of any shape.

La partie solide (4) qui soutient l'abat-jour peut être circulaire, cruciforme ou plus simplement rectiligne pour la rendre plus légère. The solid part (4) which supports the lampshade can be circular, cruciform or more simply rectilinear to make it lighter.

L'abat-jour est décoré sur tout son pourtour d'une suite formant les éléments d'un paysage (non représentée sur le dessin) tels qu'on les voie défiler quand on roule sur la route par exemple. I1 est ouvert à sa partie supérieure dans laquelle pénètre un tube creux (6) qui est porté par le support de la lampe et qui contourne extérieurement l'abatjour avant de pénétrer verticalement à l'intérieur de celui-ci. The lampshade is decorated on its entire periphery with a suite forming the elements of a landscape (not shown in the drawing) as you see them scroll when you drive on the road for example. I1 is open at its upper part into which penetrates a hollow tube (6) which is carried by the lamp holder and which bypasses the lampshade outside before penetrating vertically inside it.

Ce tube porte une douille dans laquelle est fixée une ampoule alimentée par deux câbles isolés l'un de l'autre et reliés au secteur en passant à l'intérieur du tube (6) pour aboutir à une prise de courant que porte le support de la lampe. This tube carries a socket in which is fixed a bulb fed by two cables insulated from each other and connected to the sector by passing inside the tube (6) to lead to a socket outlet which the support of the lamp.

Sur la partie inférieure du tube est fixée une petite cellule (7) jouant le rôle d'une photopile dont les pôles sont reliés aux bornes du moteur (2) à courant continu. Sous l'effet du flux lumineux de la lampe d'éclairage ou de la lumière solaire c'est la cellule seule qui fait tourner le moteur et l'abat-jour, la vitesse de rotation pouvant être réglée par la distance et les dimensions de la cellule ou démultipliée, si on le désire, par un système d'engrenages.On the lower part of the tube is fixed a small cell (7) playing the role of a solar cell whose poles are connected to the terminals of the DC motor (2). Under the effect of the luminous flux of the lighting lamp or the sunlight, it is the cell alone which turns the motor and the lampshade, the speed of rotation being adjustable by the distance and the dimensions of the cell or multiplied, if desired, by a system of gears.

Suivant une variante la plage (5) de l'abat-jour est recouverte de bandes alternativement colorées de couleurs complémentaires,(vert et rose ou jaune et bleu, par exemple) de façon à utiliser l'effet de contraste simultané et successif selon le procédé qui fait l'objet d'un brevet actuellement en vigueur. According to a variant, the area (5) of the lampshade is covered with alternately colored bands of complementary colors, (green and pink or yellow and blue, for example) so as to use the effect of simultaneous and successive contrast according to the process which is the subject of a patent currently in force.

Toute autre décoration de la plage (5) peut également être mise en valeur par le dispositif de l'invention. Any other decoration of the beach (5) can also be enhanced by the device of the invention.

Enfin suivant une autre variante la rotation de la plage (5) peut être obtenue au moyen d'un petit moteur alimenté par le secteur soit en courant alternatif soit en courant redressé.  Finally, according to another variant, the rotation of the range (5) can be obtained by means of a small motor supplied by the sector either with alternating current or with rectified current.
