Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lighting gallery for an enclosure containing a humid environment, such as an aquarium, a garden pond or a fountain. It is known to produce lighting galleries intended to equip such enclosures. Thus, in the case of an aquarium, the lighting gallery can be fixed on the cap thereof.
- a lighting gallery is constituted by a tube containing the electrical power supply components, and to which a waterproof fluorescent tube is fixed.
- Galleries of the first type are almost never waterproof.
- Galleries of the second type can be waterproof, but in this case the end caps must be welded and can no longer be dismantled. Consequently, to have access to the choke, it is necessary to provide a passage on a lateral face of the profile and to seal this passage.
- the electrical components are fixed on a plate which is engaged in slides coming from molding on the inside face of the profile, in order to keep this plate away from the lateral face of the profile opposite which it is located and avoid overheating of the latter. It should be noted that the slides extending to the ends of the profile make it difficult to achieve sealing at this level. Consequently, the existing galleries are not perfectly watertight and cannot be submerged, as they present the risk of an electrical accident.
- the object of the invention is to provide a gallery which is produced in a simple manner, with a reduced number of components, which has a perfect seal, without requiring welding or gluing, and which can be opened to allow possible maintenance. electrical components it contains.
- the lighting gallery that it concerns, comprises a tubular profile in synthetic material, of square or rectangular section, having a regular profile, that is to say without roughness on the inside, a support for the electrical components, consisting of a metal blade with elastic characteristics, of width corresponding substantially to the internal width of the profile, comprising a base intended to bear against one of the faces of the profile, extended by two end returns which are substantially perpendicular thereto, and which have a height slightly lower than that of the profile, themselves extended by two facing wings, the ends of which are intended to be anchored in the upper wall of the profile, and two closure plugs of the ends of the profile each comprising a part which, intended to be fitted into the profile, is fitted with an O-ring.
- the profile does not include a slide, that is to say has a regular profile allowing it to be closed by two nested plugs, with sealing produced by O-rings.
- the electrical components are, for their part, mounted on the support, this support being introduced into the profile after the wings have been lowered. When the support is in place, the wings are released and the ends thereof are anchored in the upper wall of the profile thus ensuring the translation of the support in the profile. It should be noted that it is not necessary, as is usually the case, to provide slides for mounting the support, which avoids suffering the drawbacks of the slides which affect the achievement of the seal.
- connection between the base of the support and each return is produced by a curved surface
- connection between each return and the associated wing is produced by a marked fold
- the metal blade being shaped so that, when no action is exerted on the wings, the latter are inclined upward relative to the horizontal.
- This configuration of the connection zones between the returns is respectively the base of the supports and the wings give an elasticity to the wings which makes it possible to obtain their bracing against the upper wall of the profile.
- the base of the support has at least two upward recesses.
- each wing of the support is sharp on its edge facing upwards. This edge can be obtained by a suitable cutting of the ends of the support.
- each wing has at least one slot opening at its end.
- the profile has two support and fixing lugs extending one of its outer walls, the connection between each lug and the body of the profile comprising a recess to maintain the thickness identical to the material thickness of the tab and the material thickness of the profile.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line III-III of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of part of the profile of the support of the electrical components and plugs;
- Figure 5 is a detail cross-sectional view and enlarged scale of the connection between a support tab and the profile.
- the gallery shown in the drawing comprises a profile 2 made of synthetic material, for example ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), comprising a bottom wall 3, an upper wall 4 and two side walls 5.
- the bottom wall 3 is extended by two legs 6 used for support and fixing, for example by screwing through holes 7, on a support 8. It should be noted that the thickness of each support leg 6 is the same as the thickness of the profile and that the connection zone between the tab and the profile has a recess 9 in order to maintain a constant thickness of material.
- the gallery according to the invention also comprises a support 10 for electrical components, constituted by a metal strip with elastic characteristics, of width corresponding substantially to the internal width of the profile.
- This support 10 comprises a base 12 having two rectangular recesses 13 facing upwards. AT its ends, this base which is of length less than the length of the profile is extended by two returns 14 of height slightly less than that of the profile and which are each connected to the base by a curved zone 15. For its part, each return 14 is extended by a wing 16 to which it is connected by a fold 17 marked. The free ends of each of the wings 16 have a sharp edge 18, a longitudinal slot 19 and opening into the end of each wing being provided to promote its deformation.
- the base 12 has two holes 20 for fixing a plate 22 carrying the ballast 23 of the lighting installation.
- One of the returns 14 has holes 24 for clipping a connector 25, while the other return 14 has holes 26 for the clipping of a choke 27.
- the various components being mounted on the support the latter ci is introduced into the profile after the wings 16 have been slightly folded down. As soon as the support is in its final position, the wings are released and their ends comprising the sharp edges 18 are anchored in the upper wall 4 of the profile, thus ensuring the translational locking of the support in the profile.
- the closure of the profile is carried out using two plugs 28, each plug comprising a part 29 intended to be fitted into the profile, with sealing against it using an O-ring 30.
- the plug 28 located on the side of the connector 25 has a hole 32 for the passage of a supply cord 33.
- On one of the faces of the profile are fixed two socket-holder devices 34 each carrying a socket 35, these sockets used for mounting a sealed fluorescent tube.
- the electrical supply is made at the socket holders 34.
- the gallery thus obtained is perfectly waterproof which allows it to be used in different enclosures containing a humid environment, including by being immersed in a liquid. If it is necessary to intervene on one of the electrical components, for example on the choke, it is very easy to have access to the interior of the profile by removal of one of the plugs 28. It should be noted that the removal of 'a plug is absolutely not destructive since the plugs are neither welded nor glued.
- the invention brings a great improvement to the existing technique by providing a lighting gallery of simple structure, the assembly of which is carried out quickly, and the maintenance of which can be carried out in a simple and rapid manner without harming a subsequent seal.
- the invention is not limited to the only form of execution in this gallery, described above by way of example, on the contrary it embraces all variants.
- shape of the support could be different, in particular that the recesses of its base could be structured differently and in different number or that the wings could include folded parts to increase the conditions of attachment, without the 'We therefore go beyond the scope of the invention.
