Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de signa­lisation lumineux de sécurité, tel que brassard.The invention relates to a light security signaling device, such as an armband.

Il est déjà connu de mettre en oeuvre des diodes électroluminescentes à éclairage intermittent, pour constituer des dispositifs de signalisation lumi­neuse portés par des personnes afin, par exemple, de signaler leur position sur une route.It is already known to use light-emitting diodes with intermittent lighting, to constitute light signaling devices carried by people in order, for example, to signal their position on a road.

Un tel dispositif est particulièrement im­portant pour les écoliers, allant ou revenant de l'é­cole.Such a device is particularly important for schoolchildren going to or returning from school.

Les dispositifs de ce genre réalisés jusqu'à présent, ne présentent qu'un très faible intérêt en raison de leur manque de fiabilité, compte tenu de leur fragilité. Ainsi, ces dispositifs sont montés sur un support souple par exemple un vêtement mais, compte tenu de la souplesse du support et des chocs qu'il peut recevoir lors de son utilisation, il arrive fré­quemment que le circuit électrique de liaison se rom­pe, soit à hauteur des pattes de connexion des diodes, soit à hauteur des conducteurs de liaison.The devices of this kind made so far have only very little interest due to their lack of reliability, given their fragility. Thus, these devices are mounted on a flexible support, for example a garment, but, given the flexibility of the support and the shocks that it can receive during its use, it frequently happens that the electrical connection circuit breaks, either height of the connection legs of the diodes, or height of the connecting conductors.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne à cet ef­fet un dispositif de signalisation lumineux de sécuri­té tel que brassard, comprenant un support souple pourvue de diodes électroluminescentes alimentées, par l'intermédiaire de leurs pattes conductrices, à partir d'une pile et par un circuit électrique, dispositif caractérisé en ce que les diodes sont fixées sur des plaquettes de circuit imprimé, rigides, indépendantes les unes des autres, de façon à être en appui sur une face de ces plaquettes, les pattes des diodes traver­sant des perforations des plaquettes et étant fixées, par soudure, sur la partie conductrice de la face op­posée de la plaquette de circuit imprimé.The present invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks and for this purpose relates to a safety light signaling device such as an armband, comprising a flexible support provided with light-emitting diodes supplied by via their conductive lugs, from a battery and by an electric circuit, device characterized in that the diodes are fixed on printed circuit boards, rigid, independent of each other, so as to be in support on one face of these wafers, the legs of the diodes passing through the perforations of the wafers and being fixed, by soldering, to the conductive part of the opposite face of the printed circuit board.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'in­vention le support souple est constitué par un maté­riau à double paroi entre lesquelles sont placées les plaquettes rigides et des conducteurs de liaison sou­ples du circuit électrique, l'une de ces parois étant pourvue de perforations entrurées d'oeillets rigides au travers desquels sont logées à libre coulissement, les diodes électroluminescentes de façon à faire par­tiellement saillie au travers de cette paroi du sup­port.According to another characteristic of the invention, the flexible support consists of a double-walled material between which the rigid plates are placed and flexible connecting conductors of the electrical circuit, one of these walls being provided with perforations pierced with eyelets rigid through which are housed free sliding, the light emitting diodes so as to project partially through this wall of the support.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'in­vention, les conducteurs de liaison souples du circuit électrique sont placés entre deux feuilles de matériau plastique souple alvéolaire du genre mousse, collées l'une à l'autre, en englobant les conducteurs, ces feuilles étant logées entre les deux parois du sup­port.According to another characteristic of the invention, the flexible connection conductors of the electric circuit are placed between two sheets of flexible cellular plastic material of the foam type, glued to one another, including the conductors, these sheets being housed between the two walls of the support.

Suivant une autre caractéristique, le dispo­sitif de l'invention, constitue un brassard lumineux dont le support souple à double paroi comporte, dans sa zone médiane, une poche recevant la pile d'alimen­tation, les diodes étant disposées de part et d'autre de cette poche.According to another characteristic, the device of the invention constitutes a luminous cuff, the flexible double-walled support of which comprises, in its central region, a pocket receiving the supply battery, the diodes being arranged on either side of this pocket.

  • FIG. 5 is a top view of FIG. 4.

L'invention a en conséquence pour but la ré­alisation d'un dispositif de signalisation lumineux portable, d'une bonne solidité et donc, d'une grande fiabilité.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a portable light signaling device, of good solidity and therefore of high reliability.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté le schéma de ce dispositif, qui comprend des diodes électrolumi­nescentes 1 alimentées à partir d'une pile ou batterie 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit électrique dont les composants sont regroupés sur un circuit imprimé rigi­de 3 matérialisé sur cette figure par les traits mix­tes 4. Ce circuit imprimé comprend un commutateur de mise en marche 5, un circuit intégré 6 gérant l'allu­mage et l'extinction intermittents et de préférence successifs des diodes 1, un oscillateur 7 ainsi que les résistances et les condensateurs associés à ce circuit.In Figure 1, there is shown the diagram of this device, which comprises light emitting diodes 1 supplied from a cell or battery 2 via an electrical circuit whose components are grouped on a rigid printed circuit 3 materialized in this figure by the dashed lines 4. This printed circuit comprises a starting switch 5, an integrated circuit 6 managing the intermittent and preferably successive switching on and off of the diodes 1, an oscillator 7 as well as the resistors and the capacitors associated with this circuit.

Les bornes conductrices de ce circuit impri­mé 3 sont reliées aux diodes 1 par des conducteurs souples 9, l'invention ayant essentiellement pour but de prévoir une construction telle du dispositif qu'il tient compte de la combinaison de la souplesse, de la fragilité, de la légèreté de certains organes, parti­culièrement des diodes 1 et des conducteurs souples 9 par rapport à la rigidité, la solidité et le poids plus élevé d'autres composants et, particulièrement, le circuit imprimé 4 et la pile 2, compte tenu de leur implantation différente sur le dispositif lumineux.The conductive terminals of this printed circuit 3 are connected to the diodes 1 by flexible conductors 9, the invention essentially aiming to provide a construction such that the device takes account of the combination of flexibility, fragility, the lightness of certain organs, particularly diodes 1 and flexible conductors 9 compared to the rigidity, solidity and higher weight of other components and, in particular, the printed circuit 4 and the battery 2, given their different location on the light device.

Suivant l'invention, il a été ainsi tout d'abord prévu (voir notamment figures 2 et 3) de fixer les diodes 1 sur des supports rigides indépendants 10 constitués par de petites plaquettes de circuit impri­mé circulaires, recevant chacune une diode.According to the invention, it was thus first of all provided (see in particular Figures 2 and 3) to fix the diodes 1 on independent rigid supports 10 constituted by small circular printed circuit boards, each receiving a diode.

Ces plaquettes 10 sont chacune pourvues de deux perforations 10₁ au travers desquelles sont pas­sées les pattes de connexion 1₁ de la diode, afin d'ê­tre soudées, sur la face opposée, en 11, sur les par­ties conductrices 10₂ du circuit imprimé de la pla­quette 10.These plates 10 are each provided with two perforations 10₁ through which the connection tabs 1₁ of the diode are passed, so as to be soldered, on the opposite face, at 11, to the conductive parts 10₂ of the printed circuit of the plate 10 .

Lors de cet assemblage, la base de la diode 1 est appliquée contre la face en regard de la pla­quette 10 et est fixée par soudure sur la face oppo­sée, de façon que l'ensemble diode et plaquette forme un ensemble rigide et léger, évitant la rupture des pattes 1₁ de la diode lorsque le dispositif de sécuri­té est manipulé ou subit des chocs.During this assembly, the base of the diode 1 is applied against the opposite face of the wafer 10 and is fixed by welding on the opposite face, so that the diode and wafer assembly forms a rigid and light assembly, avoiding the rupture of the legs 1₁ of the diode when the safety device is manipulated or subjected to shocks.

Ce dispositif de signalisation se compose également (voir figure 2) d'un support souple 12 ré­alisé, par exemple, en tissu inextensible de préféren ce imperméable, comprenant deux parois 13 et 14 re­liées l'une à l'autre à leur périphérie pour former une enveloppe plane.This signaling device also consists (see FIG. 2) of a flexible support 12 made, for example, of inextensible fabric preferably of this waterproof, comprising two walls 13 and 14 connected to each other at their periphery to form a flat envelope.

L'une 13 des parois est pourvue d'ouvertures 16 délimitées par des oeillets rigides sertis 17 au travers desquels sont logées, avec un faible jeu, les diodes électroluminescentes 1 produisant l'éclairage continu ou intermittent de signalisation.One 13 of the walls is provided with openings 16 delimited by crimped rigid eyelets 17 through which are housed, with a slight clearance, the light-emitting diodes 1 producing continuous or intermittent signaling light.

Le fait que chaque diode 1 passe librement au travers d'un oeillet rigide 17, lui permet de se déplacer lorsqu'elle reçoit un choc afin que ce choc soit amorti par le support souple 12. L'impact du choc est par ailleurs réduit du fait du faible poids de chaque ensemble rigide diode-plaquette sur le support souple.The fact that each diode 1 passes freely through a rigid eyelet 17, allows it to move when it receives a shock so that this shock is absorbed by the flexible support 12. The impact of the shock is also reduced due to the low weight of each rigid diode-wafer assembly on the flexible support.

Egalement, la disposition des diodes 1 à l'intérieur d'un oeillet 17 permet de coopérer au maintien en position latérale des diodes et, donc, des conducteurs souples 9 de liaison du circuit électri­que.Also, the arrangement of the diodes 1 inside an eyelet 17 makes it possible to cooperate in maintaining the diodes and, therefore, the flexible conductors 9 for connecting the electrical circuit in lateral position.

Les conducteurs de liaison 9 reliant les diodes 1 entre elles, au circuit électronique de com­mande 3 et à la pile 2, sont disposés entre les deux parois 13 et 14 souples du support, en étant eux-mêmes placés entre deux feuilles de matériau souple alvéo­laire du genre mousse 18 et 19, ces deux feuilles 18 et 19 étant collées l'une contre l'autre en englobant les conducteurs 9 et en étant indépendantes des parois 13, 14.The connecting conductors 9 connecting the diodes 1 to each other, to the electronic control circuit 3 and to the battery 2, are arranged between the two flexible walls 13 and 14 of the support, being themselves placed between two sheets of flexible cellular material of the foam type 18 and 19, these two sheets 18 and 19 being glued one against the other, including the conductors 9 and being independent of the walls 13, 14.

Cette disposition a également pour but de réduire l'impact d'un choc reçu par les diodes 1 et de réduire les risques de rupture des conducteurs de liaison 9, notamment à hauteur de leur jonction soudée sur les parties conductrices 10₂ du circuit imprimé des plaquettes 10.The aim of this arrangement is also to reduce the impact of a shock received by the diodes 1 and to reduce the risks of rupture of the connection conductors 9, in particular at the level of their soldered junction on the conductive parts 10₂ of the printed circuit of the wafers. 10.

Suivant les figures 4 et 5, on a représenté un exemple de réalisation d'un brassard conforme à l'invention. L'enveloppe à double paroi souple et min­ce 12 se présente sous la forme d'une bande dont la zone médiane est occupée par une poche 20 à l'inté­rieur de laquelle est logée la pile d'alimentation 2. Cette poche 20 est placée juste au-dessus du circuit imprimé rigide 3 disposé entre les parois 13 et 14, recevant les moyens de commutation 6, 7 du dispositif. Les différentes diodes 1 sont, par leur extrémité, en légère saillie sur la face 13 du brassard. Cette cons­truction permet d'assurer le maintien en position des éléments les plus lourds (pile 2, circuit imprimé 3) par rapport aux diodes et par l'intermédiaire du sup­port souple 12, tout en reliant les diodes à la pile et au circuit imprimé par des conducteurs souples 9.According to Figures 4 and 5, there is shown an embodiment of a cuff according to the invention. The flexible and thin double-walled envelope 12 is in the form of a strip, the central zone of which is occupied by a pocket 20 inside which is housed the supply battery 2. This pocket 20 is placed just above the rigid printed circuit 3 disposed between the walls 13 and 14, receiving the switching means 6, 7 of the device. The different diodes 1 are, at their ends, in slight projection on the face 13 of the cuff. This construction makes it possible to maintain the heaviest elements in position (battery 2, printed circuit 3) relative to the diodes and by means of the flexible support 12, while connecting the diodes to the battery and to the printed circuit by flexible conductors 9.

Dans les exemples décrits et représentés, chaque plaquette rigide 10 est pourvue d'une seule diode qui est appliquée par sa base au centre de l'une des faces de la plaquette. Il est bien entendu, cepen­dant, qu'une fabrication similaire, mais bien entendu avec des résultats moindres, pourrait être envisagée en prévoyant non pas une mais deux diodes par plaquet­te, les diverses plaquettes indépendantes les unes des autres, devant cependant former avec leurs diodes un ensemble rigide de faible poids comparé à celui du dispositif de sécurité à support souple.In the examples described and shown, each rigid plate 10 is provided with a single diode which is applied by its base to the center of one of the faces of the plate. It is understood, however, that a similar manufacture, but of course with lesser results, could be envisaged by providing not one but two diodes per wafer, the various wafers independent of each other, however having to form with their diodes a rigid assembly of low weight compared to that of the safety device with flexible support.
