- the connection of said housing 21 takes place, on the other hand, either simply with the device supply 9 (solution not shown), or to the latter and to the optical device 10.
- the latter case corresponds moreover to a preferred embodiment represented on the drawing in annex and requires the presence of a connector additional 22B installed on the connection box 21 for its connection to said optical device 10.
- connection box 21 allows advantageously, through a single electrical connection between the connection box 21 and the device 9, to connect the latter to both the cable general power supply 23 and to the optical device 10.

Abstract
Description
L'invention a trait à une lanterne pour l'éclairage en extérieur destinée à être implantée sensiblement à l'extrémité d'un mât par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison mécaniques et comportant une coquille constituée par un coffre sur lequel est monté articulé un couvercle, ladite coquille recevant, dans sa partie intérieure, un dispositif d'alimentation en énergie électrique d'au moins une ampoule d'un dispositif optique.The invention relates to a lantern for lighting in exterior intended to be installed substantially at the end a mast by means of mechanical connection means and comprising a shell constituted by a chest on which is hinged mounted a cover, said shell receiving, in its inner part, a power supply device electric of at least one bulb of an optical device.
La présente invention trouvera son application dans le domaine de l'éclairage, plus particulièrement en extérieur, du type éclairage public.The present invention will find its application in the field lighting, more particularly outdoors, of the type public lighting.
On connaít déjà un certain nombre de lanternes correspondant à la description ci-dessus. Une telle lanterne se présente généralement sous la forme d'une coquille constituée par un coffre sur lequel est monté, de manière articulée, un couvercle. Celui-ci permet d'accéder audit coffre dans la partie interne duquel sont disposés le dispositif d'alimentation en énergie électrique ainsi que le dispositif optique. Leur disposition à l'intérieur du coffre se fait généralement sans ordre précis, en fonction de la place disponible et de l'encombrement occasionné par les différents éléments qui les composent. On conçoit alors aisément qu'une telle disposition rend délicate toute intervention visant à entretenir ou à réparer une telle lanterne.We already know a number of lanterns corresponding to the description above. Such a lantern presents itself generally in the form of a shell constituted by a trunk on which is mounted, in an articulated manner, a lid. This allows access to said safe in the internal part of which the device is arranged electric power supply as well as the device optical. They are placed inside the trunk generally in no specific order, depending on the place available and the congestion caused by the different elements that compose them. It is therefore easy to imagine that a such a provision makes any intervention aimed at maintain or repair such a lantern.
Le couvercle d'une telle lanterne est, en général, disposé dans la partie inférieure de ladite coquille n'autorisant, par conséquent, qu'une ouverture vers le bas. Un tel type d'ouverture oblige alors l'opérateur à intervenir sur les dispositifs en y accédant par le dessous. L'on conçoit aisément qu'une telle position de travail est particulièrement inconfortable. The cover of such a lantern is, in general, arranged in the lower part of said shell does not allow, by Therefore, that an opening down. Such a guy opening then obliges the operator to intervene on the devices by accessing it from below. We can easily imagine that such a working position is particularly uncomfortable.
Par ailleurs, l'on connaít, au travers du document allemand DE-25
13 390, une lanterne pour l'éclairage public destinée à être
implantée sur un mât et se présentant sous la forme d'une
coquille laquelle comporte un coffre apte à être refermé,
latéralement, par un couvercle susceptible de définir un
réflecteur.Furthermore, we know, through the
En fait, ce coffre adopte une disposition verticale et présente une ouverture latérale apte à être refermée par ledit couvercle. Il comporte, intérieurement, trois compartiments horizontaux et superposés dont le premier, situé dans la partie inférieure du coffre, est destiné à recevoir l'extrémité du mât et comporte, à cet effet, des moyens de fixation sur ce dernier. Le second compartiment, situé au dessus du premier, reçoit un dispositif d'alimentation en énergie électrique tandis que le troisième compartiment, occupant la partie supérieure du coffre, comporte une douille pour la réception du culot d'une ampoule. Cette dernière émerge, en fait, hors du coffre au travers de son ouverture latérale de manière à être positionnée, après fermeture de la coquille, à l'intérieur du couvercle escamotable, ce dernier définissant alors la partie optique de la lanterne. On observera que cette dernière comporte, en outre, au niveau du coffre, des moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer avec un rebord ménagé en périphérie du couvercle en vue d'assurer la fermeture de la coquille. Un tel mode de réalisation impose le retrait préalable et intégral du couvercle pour accéder aux différents compartiments en vue d'une quelconque intervention.In fact, this chest adopts a vertical arrangement and presents a side opening capable of being closed by said lid. It has, internally, three compartments horizontal and superimposed, the first of which, located in the lower of the trunk, is intended to receive the end of the mast and includes, for this purpose, fixing means on this latest. The second compartment, located above the first, receives an electrical power supply device while the third compartment, occupying the part upper chest, includes a socket for receiving the base of a bulb. The latter emerges, in fact, out of trunk through its side opening so as to be positioned, after closing the shell, inside the retractable cover, the latter then defining the part lantern optics. We will observe that the latter further comprises, at the level of the trunk, means attachment capable of cooperating with a flange formed in periphery of the cover in order to ensure the closure of the shell. Such an embodiment requires withdrawal and complete cover to access the different compartments for any intervention.
On remarquera, dans le cadre de ces lanternes, que l'intervention la plus fréquente consiste simplement à procéder au remplacement d'une ampoule défectueuse. Un tel remplacement s'effectue par les opérateurs sans prendre de précaution particulière quant à la coupure de l'alimentation en énergie électrique d'une telle lanterne.It will be noted, within the framework of these lanterns, that the most common intervention is simply to do replacing a defective bulb. Such a replacement carried out by operators without taking any precaution particular as regards the interruption of the energy supply electric of such a lantern.
Cependant, il se peut que l'intervention ne se limite pas simplement à un tel remplacement et qu'il soit nécessaire d'intervenir plus particulièrement sur les dispositifs électriques ou/et optiques. Dans un pareil cas, il est évident qu'une coupure générale de l'alimentation en électricité de ces dispositifs est indispensable. Aussi, de manière à permettre une telle coupure, le mât supportant ladite lanterne et à l'intérieur duquel est disposé, de manière filante, le câble d'alimentation générale, comporte habituellement une trappe de visite à l'arrière de laquelle est implanté un coupe-circuit. On remarquera qu'une telle trappe de visite est, de préférence, située à hauteur d'homme ce qui présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients. Notamment, l'opérateur, perché sur une nacelle à hauteur de la coquille, doit, s'il n'a pas pensé à procéder à la coupure dès le début de l'intervention, redescendre au sol pour pouvoir actionner le coupe-circuit avant de remonter et d'intervenir à l'intérieur du coffre. La mise sous tension de la lanterne, ne serait-ce que pour procéder à des tests du bon fonctionnement des dispositifs après une intervention, nécessite alors de descendre à nouveau pour désactiver le coupe-circuit. On conçoit alors aisément que le nombre, plus ou moins important, de montées et de descentes de la nacelle se traduit par une perte de temps non négligeable ce que cherchera souvent l'opérateur à éviter en intervenant sur la lanterne sans avoir pris la précaution de couper l'alimentation en énergie électrique.However, the intervention may not be limited simply to such a replacement and that it is necessary to intervene more particularly on the devices electrical and / or optical. In such a case, it is obvious that a general cut in the electricity supply to these devices is essential. Also, so as to allow such a cut, the mast supporting said lantern and at the interior of which is arranged, in a threading manner, the cable general food, usually has a hatch visit at the back of which is installed a circuit breaker. It will be noted that such a inspection hatch is preferably located at breast height which presents a number disadvantages. In particular, the operator, perched on a gondola at the level of the shell, must, if it has not thought of proceeding to the cut off at the start of the intervention, descend to the ground to activate the circuit breaker before reassembling and to intervene inside the trunk. Energizing the lantern, if only to test the correct operation of the devices after an intervention, then requires descending again to deactivate the circuit breaker. We can easily imagine that the number, plus or less important, ascents and descents of the nacelle are translated into a significant loss of time what will be sought often the operator to avoid when working on the lantern without having taken the precaution of cutting the supply in electric energy.
Finalement, un autre inconvénient lié à une telle disposition consiste en ce que le coupe-circuit ainsi que le câble d'alimentation générale sont accessibles à un quidam, notamment à un enfant, susceptible de s'électrocuter. Finally, another drawback linked to such an arrangement consists of the circuit breaker and the cable of general food are accessible to a person, in particular a child who may be electrocuted.
En conséquence, la présente invention a eu pour objectif de trouver une solution aux inconvénients précédemment cités au travers d'une lanterne dont la conception est particulièrement simple, efficace et sécurisante.Consequently, the present invention has aimed to find a solution to the disadvantages previously mentioned in through a lantern whose design is particularly simple, effective and reassuring.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une lanterne pour l'éclairage en extérieur destinée à être implantée sensiblement à l'extrémité d'un mât par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison mécaniques et comportant une coquille constituée par un coffre sur lequel est monté articulé un couvercle, ce coffre comportant, d'une part, un premier compartiment définissant une partie mécanique et destiné à recevoir les moyens de liaison mécaniques et, d'autre part, un second compartiment définissant une partie électrique et destinée à recevoir un dispositif d'alimentation en énergie électrique d'au moins une ampoule d'un dispositif optique, caractérisée en ce que le couvercle est situé dans la partie supérieure de la coquille permettant une ouverture vers le haut et que le coffre de ladite coquille d'une part, constitue la partie inférieure de cette dernière et, d'autre part, comporte outre le premier et le second compartiment au moins un troisième compartiment définissant une partie optique et recevant ledit dispositif optique.To this end, the present invention relates to a lantern for outdoor lighting intended to be installed substantially at the end of a mast by means of connecting means mechanical and comprising a shell constituted by a trunk on which is hinged a cover, this box comprising, on the one hand, a first compartment defining a mechanical part and intended to receive the connecting means mechanical and, on the other hand, a second compartment defining an electrical part and intended to receive a device supply of electrical energy to at least one bulb an optical device, characterized in that the cover is located in the upper part of the shell allowing an opening upwards and that the trunk of said shell on the one hand, constitutes the lower part of the latter and, on the other hand, comprises besides the first and the second compartment at least a third compartment defining a optical part and receiving said optical device.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la lanterne comporte des moyens de coupure de l'alimentation en énergie électrique de la partie électrique et optique en cas d'ouverture dudit couvercle.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lantern includes means for cutting off the power supply electrical of the electrical and optical part in case opening said cover.
On remarquera que le fait de compartimenter le coffre et de disposer, à l'intérieur de chaque compartiment, un dispositif de nature différente, mécanique, électrique, ou optique, permet, avantageusement, à un opérateur d'intervenir plus spécifiquement et plus aisément sur l'un ou l'autre des dispositifs afin de diagnostiquer l'origine d'un éventuel disfonctionnement et de procéder à la remise en état de marche de la lanterne.Note that the fact of compartmentalizing the trunk and have a device inside each compartment of a different nature, mechanical, electrical, or optical, advantageously allows an operator to intervene more specifically and more easily on one or other of the devices to diagnose the origin of a possible malfunction and to carry out the restoration in working order of the lantern.
En outre, la présence chez cette dernière des moyens de coupure de l'alimentation électrique permet de garantir à l'opérateur une telle coupure par le simple fait de procéder à l'ouverture du couvercle.In addition, the presence at the latter of the cut-off means of the power supply guarantees the operator such a cut by the simple fact of opening of the cover.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre se rapportant au dessin joint en annexe et dans lequel :
- la figure 1 est une vue schématisée, en coupe et en élévation d'une lanterne implantée à l'extrémité d'un mât ;

- Figure 1 is a schematic view, in section and in elevation of a lantern located at the end of a mast;
- Figure 2 a schematic plan view of the trunk, part of the lantern.
La présente invention concerne une lanterne 1 destinée à être implantée, sensiblement, à l'extrémité 2 d'un mât 3 duquel elle est rendue solidaire par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison mécaniques 4 appropriés.The present invention relates to a lantern 1 intended to be located, substantially, at the end 2 of a mast 3 from which it is made integral by means of connecting means mechanical 4 appropriate.
Plus particulièrement, une telle lanterne 1 se présente sous la
forme d'une coquille 5 composée de deux parties, un coffre 6 et
un couvercle 7. Ce dernier sert à refermer ladite coquille 5 et
permet d'accéder à la partie interne 8 du coffre 6.More particularly, such a lantern 1 is presented under the
shape of a

Selon l'invention, le coffre 6 de la lanterne 1 est
compartimenté en au moins trois compartiments 11, 12, 13. According to the invention, the trunk 6 of the lantern 1 is
compartmentalized into at least three
Le premier compartiment 11 se situe, dans le cas présent, à
l'une des extrémités 14 dudit coffre 6 et définit une partie
mécanique 15. Ainsi ce compartiment 11 est destiné à recevoir
les moyens de liaison mécaniques 4 permettant la fixation de la
lanterne 1, plus particulièrement au travers du coffre 6 de la
coquille 5, sur ledit mât 3. Selon un mode de réalisation
préféré représenté figures 1 et 2, lesdits moyens 4 sont
constitués, notamment, par un orifice 16 ménagé dans le fond 17
du coffre 6 et au travers duquel pénètre l'extrémité 2 du mât
3. Ce coffre 6 est alors rendu solidaire de ce dernier 6 par
des organes de fixation appropriés, notamment par des vis.The
A côté de ce premier compartiment 11 est disposé un second
compartiment 12 définissant une partie électrique 18 et destiné
à recevoir le dispositif d'alimentation 9. Finalement, le
coffre 6 présente un troisième compartiment 13 jouxtant le
second compartiment 12 et définissant une partie optique 20.
Ainsi, ce troisième compartiment 13 reçoit le dispositif
optique 10.Next to this
Selon l'invention, la lanterne 1 reçoit un boítier de connexion
21 comportant des connecteurs 22, 22A pour son raccordement,
d'une part, à un câble d'alimentation électrique générale 23
provenant du mât 3 et dont l'extrémité peut également être
pourvue d'un connecteur 24. Le raccordement dudit boítier 21
s'effectue, d'autre part, soit simplement au dispositif
d'alimentation 9 (solution non représentée), soit à ce dernier
et au dispositif optique 10. Ce dernier cas correspond
d'ailleurs à un mode de réalisation préféré représenté sur le
dessin en annexe et nécessite la présence d'un connecteur
supplémentaire 22B implanté sur le boítier de connexion 21 pour
son raccordement audit dispositif optique 10.According to the invention, the lantern 1 receives a

between the
Ledit boítier de connexion 21, tel que visible sur les figures
1 et 2, se situe dans la partie interne 8 de la lanterne 1,
plus particulièrement dans le second compartiment 12.Said
Cette lanterne 1 reçoit, en outre, des moyens 25 de coupure de
l'alimentation en énergie électrique du dispositif
d'alimentation 9 en cas d'ouverture du couvercle 7. Ces moyens
de coupure 25 se présentent sous la forme d'un interrupteur 26
disposé sensiblement à hauteur de la jonction entre le coffre 6
et ledit couvercle 7, cet interrupteur 26 étant à même de
couper l'alimentation en énergie électrique du dispositif
d'alimentation 9 et apte à être commandé par ledit couvercle 7.
Ainsi, dès l'instant que l'opérateur vient ouvrir ce couvercle
7, quelle qu'en soit la raison, il est à l'abri d'une
éventuelle électrocution. A l'inverse, dès que le couvercle 7
est refermé, il peut tester le bon fonctionnement de la

Il convient d'observer que l'interrupteur 26 peut être placé à
un endroit quelconque de la lanterne 1. cependant et comme il a
été représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, cet interrupteur 26 est
de préférence associé au boítier de connexion 21 et peut alors
être implanté, par exemple, entre les connecteurs 22, 22A. On
observera que, selon un autre mode de réalisation non
représenté, de tels moyens de coupure 25 peuvent être
directement associés au câble d'alimentation 23 ou, le cas
échéant, être interposés entre ce dernier et ledit boítier 21
donc le dispositif d'alimentation 9. It should be noted that the
En ce qui concerne, plus particulièrement, ce dispositif
d'alimentation 9, celui-ci se présente avantageusement sous la
forme d'une platine 27 maintenue dans le second compartiment 12
à l'aide de moyens de logement et de positionnement 28 associés
à ce dernier et permettant, en outre, la mise en place et le
retrait facile et rapide de ladite platine 27. Cette dernière
reçoit, non seulement, les organes électriques et électroniques

représenté, ladite platine 27 peut, en outre, être équipée des
moyens de coupure 25 de l'alimentation en énergie électrique.
Le dispositif optique 10, quant à lui, comporte un réflecteur
30 disposé dans la partie supérieure 31 de la coquille 5. Ledit
réflecteur 30 sert à renvoyer la lumière émise par une ampoule
32 en direction d'une vitre de forme convexe 33 située dans la
partie inférieure 34 de cette coquille 5.It will be observed that, according to a particular embodiment not
shown, said

l'ampoule 32, peut également être munie d'un connecteur 35,
pour son raccordement à la partie électrique 18.Finally, it will be observed that the
Il ressort de la description qui précède que le boítier de
connexion 21, les dispositifs d'alimentation 9 et optique 10
ainsi que le câble 23 peuvent tous être équipés de connecteurs
22, 22A, 22B ; 24 ; 29, 29A ; 35 destinés à permettre leur
raccordement entre eux. Ces connecteurs 22, 22A, 22B ; 24 ; 29,
29A ; 35 sont de préférence de type mâle/femelle et sont
destinés à coopérer avec des connecteurs de type femelle/mâle
équipant les extrémités de cordons de raccordement permettant
d'établir la liaison électrique.It appears from the foregoing description that the housing of
Plus précisément, un premier cordon de raccordement 36 est
interposé entre le câble d'alimentation 23 et le boítier de
connexion 21 ou, le cas échéant, le dispositif d'alimentation
9. Un second cordon de raccordement 37 assure alors la liaison
électrique entre le boítier de connexion 21 et le dispositif
d'alimentation 9. Ce dernier est alors raccordé, par
l'intermédiaire d'un troisième cordon 37', au dispositif
optique 10, soit de manière directe par l'intermédiaire du
connecteur 29A (solution non représentée), soit de manière
indirecte et au travers du boítier de connexion 21 par
l'intermédiaire du connecteur 22B.More specifically, a
On remarquera que, selon un mode de réalisation particulier,
les cordons de raccordement 36, 37', le boítier de connexion 21
et, selon le cas, les moyens de coupure 25 de l'alimentation,
ainsi que, le cas échéant, les connecteurs 22, 22B, 24, et 35,
l'ampoule 32, le cordon de raccordement 37 et/ou le connecteur
22A sont regroupés au sein d'un même faisceau électrique
permettant de relier, en une seule opération, le dispositif
d'alimentation 9 au dispositif optique 10 et au câble
d'alimentation générale 23. Un tel faisceau électrique est
susceptible d'être réalisé et installé en un seul bloc.It will be noted that, according to a particular embodiment,
the
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, les compartiments 12 et
13, donc les parties électriques 18 et optiques 20, sont
disposées au sein d'une même enceinte étanche 38. Plus
précisément, un joint d'étanchéité 39, disposé entre le coffre
6 et le couvercle 7, vient isoler ces compartiments 12, 13 par
rapport à l'extérieur ou encore par rapport au premier
compartiment 11. Avantageusement, le cordon de raccordement 36
vient, lui, traverser, de manière étanche, la paroi 40 servant
à délimiter le second compartiment 12 du premier 11, par
exemple à l'aide d'un presse-étoupe.According to a preferred embodiment, the
Comme il est plus particulièrement visible sur la figure 1, le
coffre 6 constitue la partie inférieure 34 de la coquille 5
alors que la partie supérieure 31 est délimitée par le
couvercle 7. Une telle conception permet alors une ouverture
vers le haut dudit couvercle 7 qui, à cet effet, est monté
articulé sur le coffre 6, notamment autour d'une charnière 41
située sensiblement à l'une de ses extrémités 14.As is more particularly visible in FIG. 1, the
trunk 6 constitutes the
Le fait que le coffre 6 de cette coquille 5 constitue la partie
inférieure 34 de cette dernière permet à ce coffre 6 de
recevoir les différents compartiments 11, 12 et 13 aptes, d'une
part, à définir, respectivement, des parties mécanique 15,
électrique 18 et optique 20 aisément accessibles par le dessus
et, d'autre part, à être, avantageusement, disposés les uns à
coté des autres et de manière verticale. Une telle disposition
permet, par exemple lors d'une intervention de la part d'un
opérateur, de retenir et/ou d'empêcher la chute au sol d'un
objet que ce dernier vient de retirer ou souhaite implanter
dans le coffre 6 après qu'il ait, malencontreusement, glissé
hors de ses mains.The fact that the trunk 6 of this
Finalement, on constate que la présente invention répond, de manière avantageuse, à l'ensemble des inconvénients jusqu'alors rencontrés dans le domaine des lanternes destinées à un éclairage en extérieur.Finally, it can be seen that the present invention responds, advantageously, to all the disadvantages hitherto encountered in the field of lanterns intended for a outdoor lighting.
Plus particulièrement, ladite invention permet un accroissement substantiel de la sécurité et de la protection de l'intervenant en assurant une coupure de l'alimentation électrique dès l'ouverture du couvercle. De plus, le fait de compartimenter et ainsi de bien séparer les parties mécaniques, électriques et optiques, permet avantageusement, simplement et rapidement d'accéder et d'intervenir sur les différentes parties.More particularly, said invention allows an increase substantial security and protection of the responder ensuring that the power supply is cut off as soon as opening the cover. In addition, compartmentalizing and well to separate the mechanical, electrical and advantageously, easily and quickly to access and intervene on the different parts.
L'utilisation de cordons de raccordement susceptibles de coopérer avec des connecteurs permet, lors du montage en usine de la lanterne, d'assurer rapidement la liaison électrique entre les différents éléments. D'autre part, un tel type de connexion permet également, lors d'une réparation, de procéder rapidement à la remise en état de marche de la lanterne en procedant simplement à la déconnexion, au retrait et au remplacement d'un élément défectueux avant de le reconnecter.The use of connecting cords liable to cooperating with connectors allows, during factory assembly of the lantern, quickly ensuring the electrical connection between the different elements. On the other hand, such a type of connection also allows, during a repair, to proceed quickly when the lantern is restored to working order simply disconnecting, removing and replacement of a defective element before reconnecting it.
Par conséquent, la présente invention apporter un progrès considérable dans le domaine technique considéré.Therefore, the present invention provide progress considerable in the technical field considered.
