Abstract

A cylindrical watertight lamp (2) is attached by four screws (1) to a conical body (4). The conical body is hollow and liquid (5) may be added to adjust the overall weight to the density of the surrounding water. Anti-fouling paint is applied to the surface of the cone to prevent the accretion of vegetation and the conical shape facilitates cleaning. The lamp is very stable and does not overturn due to water (3) movement : Independent claims are made for the lamp body, body geometry and surface treatment.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système d'éclairage flottant sous le fil d'eau (douce ou salée).The present invention relates to a lighting system floating under the water (soft or salty).

Il s'agit d'une lampe constituée par un phare étanche de forme circulaire, auquel on accroche un élément conique creux, par 4 visses (1).It is a lamp constituted by a watertight lighthouse of circular shape, to which hooks a hollow conical element, by 4 screws (1).

Cet élément est vemi de peinture anti-végétation (6).This element is coated with anti-vegetation paint (6).

La forme allongée du corps conique stabilise la lampe en empêchant qu'elle se renverse à cause des mouvements de l'eau (3).The elongated shape of the conical body stabilizes the lamp by preventing it from tipping over due to water movement (3).

La forme conique garantie une plus grande stabilité et retour à la position initiale en cas de collision de la lampe avec des corps portés par le courant (3).The conical shape guarantees greater stability and return to the initial position in the event of collision of the lamp with bodies carried by the current (3).

La forme conique facilite le nettoyage de la lampe des algues qui inévitablement se posent sur la surface du corps (3).The conical shape facilitates the cleaning of the algae lamp which inevitably lay on the surface of the body (3).

Le corps conique est creux (4) : cela permet l'ajout de liquide (5) à son intérieur avant de le visser au phare pour piscines afin de régler le poids total de la lampe, selon la densité de l'eau dans laquelle la lampe est mise.The conical body is hollow (4): this allows the addition of liquid (5) to its interior before screw it to the pool lighthouse to adjust the total weight of the lamp, depending on the density of water in which the lamp is put.

Le poids du système doit être tel à permettre que l'optique du phare pour piscines reste sous le fil de l'eau, afin d'empêcher le sur-chauffage de l'ampoule éclairante (2).

  • La figure 1 représente la coupe longitudinale du corps conique et le système de vissage du corps au phare étanche.
  • La figure 2 représente la lampe vue du haut.
  • La figure 3 représente la lampe vue de coté.
    • The weight of the system must be such as to allow the optics of the headlight for swimming pools to remain under the flow of water, in order to prevent overheating of the light bulb (2).
  • Figure 1 shows the longitudinal section of the conical body and the system for screwing the body to the watertight headlight.
  • Figure 2 shows the lamp seen from above.
  • Figure 3 shows the lamp seen from the side.

    • Claims (5)

    Système d'éclairage flottant dans l'eau afin d'obtenir certains effets de lumière caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un corps conique creux (3) vissé en 4 points (1) à un phare étanche de forme circulaire (2).Lighting system floating in water in order to obtain certain light effects, characterized in that it comprises a hollow conical body (3) screwed at 4 points (1) to a circular circular watertight headlight (2). Dispositif selon la revendication 1 caractérisé en ce que le corps conique, par sa forme allongée (4), stabilise la position horizontale du phare, bougé par les mouvements de l'eau.Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the conical body, by its elongated shape (4), stabilizes the horizontal position of the headlight, moved by the movements of the water. Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes caractérisé en ce que par sa géométrie le corps conique (4) favorise (garantie) une plus grande stabilité et retour à la position initiale en cas de collision de la lampe avec des corps portés par le courant.Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that by its geometry the conical body (4) promotes (guaranteed) greater stability and return to the initial position in the event of the lamp colliding with bodies carried by the current . Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes caractérisé en ce que le corps conique est creux (3)afin d'être rempli de liquide (5) et pouvoir régler le poids de l'élément éclairant à la densité de l'eau, de façon à que la lampe reste sous le fil d'eau.Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the conical body is hollow (3) so as to be filled with liquid (5) and able to adjust the weight of the lighting element to the density of the water, so that the lamp stays under the water. Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes caractérisé en ce que le corps conique est vemi de peinture anti-végétation (6).Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the conical body is coated with anti-vegetation paint (6).
