Abstract

Deux demi-boîtiers (20, 22) en matière plastique appropriée sont moulés respectivement de manière qu'il forment, une fois assemblés, un espace destiné à recevoir des composants, un support pour voyant de signalisation/d'avertissement et une poignée (400) pour saisir et transporter le dispositif. Une fenêtre (200) est ménagée dans la partie supérieure du demi-boîtier de manière à former le boîtier supérieur, et est fermée au moyen d'un couvercle cunéiforme en plastique transparent (210). Un capteur solaire (160) est disposé à l'intérieur du boîtier, au-dessous du couvercle et à proximité de la fenêtre (200). Des éléments de circuit électrique appropriés et des piles rechargeables (130) sont disposés dans le boîtier afin de permettre l'alimentation d'une ampoule (330) montée sur ledit boîtier et afin d'éclairer un ensemble à lentille.
