Abstract

The mist is prevented from forming on the surface of a mirror by blowing hot air over the surface of the mirror. The hot air is generated by an electric heating element, and an air circulation fan directs incoming air over the element to produce a stream of hot air. The heater and fan are mounted in the frame of the mirror, and the air is guided through ducts in the frame to outlets that direct it over the mirror surface. The stream of hot air heats the surface of the mirror and prevents mist forming there.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour empêcher toutes buées de se poser sur un miroir sans manipulation de ce dispositif par l'utilisateur pour permettre la visibilité. The present invention relates to a device for preventing all fogging from landing on a mirror without manipulation of this device by the user to allow visibility.

L'évacuation de la buée est traditionnellement effectuée à l'aide de serviettes, d'éponges, etc..., ce qui laisse des traces et n'empêche pas la buée de se reformer sur le miroir. Certaines pièces d'une habitation comportent un système de ventilation qui n'élimine pas la buée lorsque le débit d'eau chaude est trop important. The evacuation of the mist is traditionally carried out using towels, sponges, etc ..., which leaves traces and does not prevent the mist from re-forming on the mirror. Some rooms in a home have a ventilation system that does not eliminate fogging when the flow of hot water is too high.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. I1 comporte selon une première caractéristique un bâti présentant un orifice par lequel peut être introduit le côté pulsant d'air chaud d'un appareil chauffant permettant de l'y maintenir en fonctionnement. L'air chaud émis par cet appareil chauffant en fonctionnement est ensuite véhiculé par canalisation sur une bouche de sortie dirigée sur un miroir? sans aucune manipulation par l'utilisateur, provocant ainsi le réchauffement du miroir et empêchant la buée de se poser sur ce miroir. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. According to a first characteristic, it comprises a frame having an orifice through which the pulsating side of hot air of a heating appliance can be introduced, allowing it to be kept there in operation. The hot air emitted by this heating appliance in operation is then conveyed by pipeline on an outlet directed on a mirror? without any manipulation by the user, thus causing the mirror to heat up and preventing fogging from settling on this mirror.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisations:
Le système chauffant de l'appareil chauffant peut être incorporé dans
le bâti.According to particular embodiments:
The heating system of the heater can be incorporated in
the built.

. L'air chaud peut être véhiculé par plusieurs canalisations. . The hot air can be conveyed by several pipes.

Les éléments de ce dispositif peuvent être de matériaux différents les
uns des autres.The elements of this device can be of different materials the
each other.

Les dessins annexés illustrent à titre d'exemple une des formes possibles du dispositif selon l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate by way of example one of the possible forms of the device according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente une des formes possibles de ce dispositif
La figure 2 représente cette forme possible en coupe.Figure 1 shows one of the possible forms of this device
Figure 2 shows this possible shape in section.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un bâti (C) muni d'un orifice (B) ayant une forme correspondant au côté pulsant d'air chaud (D) d'un appareil chauffant (A). Cet orifice (B) est prolongé par canalisation (F), véhiculant l'air chaud (D) vers une bouche de sortie (E) en direction d'un miroir. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a frame (C) provided with an orifice (B) having a shape corresponding to the pulsating side of hot air (D) of a heating appliance (A). This orifice (B) is extended by pipe (F), conveying the hot air (D) to an outlet mouth (E) in the direction of a mirror.

Selon une première variante non illustrée, le système chauffant de l'appareil chauffant (A) est incorporé dans le bâti (C), sa seule fonction est alors d'évacuer la buée du miroir.  According to a first variant not illustrated, the heating system of the heating appliance (A) is incorporated in the frame (C), its only function is then to evacuate the fog from the mirror.

Selon une seconde variante non illustrée, les éléments (B), (C), (E) et (F) de ce dispositif sont de matériaux différents les uns des autres et permettent l'intégration aux éléments environnants du miroir. According to a second variant, not illustrated, the elements (B), (C), (E) and (F) of this device are made of materials different from each other and allow integration with the surrounding elements of the mirror.

Selon une troisième variante non illustrée, l'air chaud (D) est véhiculé par plusieurs canalisations (F) et permet une diffusion plus vaste de l'air chaud (D) sur le miroir. According to a third variant not illustrated, the hot air (D) is conveyed by several pipes (F) and allows a wider distribution of the hot air (D) on the mirror.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la visibilité dans les miroirs.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for visibility in mirrors.
