Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention est relative à une lampe électrique d'éclairage logée dans un boîtier comprenant des moyens d'éclairage alimentés par une source d'énergie électrique. Un dispositif de fixation et de positionnement du boîtier sur un support comporte une glissière de guidage dans laquelle est engagé un organe d'accouplement pour former une liaison mécanique, et une couronne crantée annulaire permettant une orientation angulaire de la lampe par rapport au support.The invention relates to an electric lighting lamp housed in a housing comprising lighting means powered by a source of electrical energy. A device for fixing and positioning the housing on a support comprises a guide rail in which is engaged a coupling member to form a mechanical connection, and an annular ring gear enabling angular orientation of the lamp relative to the support.

État de la techniqueState of the art

Pour l'orientation multidirectionnelle d'une lampe d'éclairage, il est connu de fixer la lampe sur une platine, laquelle est orientable au moyen d'une articulation à rotule solidaire d'un support en forme de pince.For the multidirectional orientation of a lighting lamp, it is known to fix the lamp on a plate, which is adjustable by means of a ball joint secured to a support-shaped clamp.

Selon un autre dispositif connu, la platine de fixation de la lampe est montée à basculement autour d'un axe horizontal fixé au support. Ce dernier est constitué par l'embase d'une coiffe à élastiques, et le mouvement d'orientation de la lampe s'exerce uniquement de bas en haut.According to another known device, the mounting plate of the lamp is mounted to tilt about a horizontal axis fixed to the support. The latter is constituted by the base of a resilient cap, and the movement of orientation of the lamp is exerted solely from bottom to top.

Le document US 5738432 décrit une lampe d'éclairage à orientation multiple et pouvant être adaptée à tout type de support. Elle comprend une plaque enfichable par coulissement dans une glissière d'un support, ladite plaque étant reliée à la lampe par une première liaison à pivotement faisant basculer la lampe de bas en haut autour d'un axe horizontal, et par une deuxième liaison à couronne crantée autorisant une orientation angulaire de la lampe autour d'un axe vertical. Le réglage en rotation s'effectue au moyen d'un levier faisant tourner la couronne autour de l'axe vertical. L'encombrement d'un tel mécanisme à plusieurs liaisons reste néanmoins important.The document US 5738432 describes a multi-orientation lighting lamp that can be adapted to any type of support. It comprises a sliding plate slidable in a slide of a support, said plate being connected to the lamp by a first pivotal connection swinging the lamp from bottom to top about a horizontal axis, and by a second connection to a crown notch allowing angular orientation of the lamp around a vertical axis. The rotation adjustment is effected by means of a lever rotating the ring around the vertical axis. The size of such a multi-link mechanism nevertheless remains important.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

L'objet de l'invention consiste à réaliser une lampe d'éclairage adaptable à tout type de support, et à faisceau orientable avec un encombrement minimum.The object of the invention is to provide a lighting lamp adaptable to any type of support, and steerable beam with a minimum size.

La lampe selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce que la couronne crantée de l'organe d'accouplement est solidaire du support, et est dotée d'un épaulement destiné à coulisser dans la glissière de guidage ménagée dans le boîtier, et qu'un élément d'actionnement flexible s'étend le long de la glissière, et porte un ergot d'encliquetage coopérant en position verrouillée avec les crans de la couronne.The lamp according to the invention is characterized in that the notched crown of the coupling member is integral with the support, and is provided with a shoulder intended to slide in the guide slide formed in the housing, and that a flexible actuating element extends along the slide, and carries a latching lug cooperating in locked position with the notches of the crown.

Une telle liaison mécanique permet une double fonction d'encliquetage et d'orientation angulaire avec le minimum d'encombrement.Such a mechanical connection allows a double latching function and angular orientation with the minimum of space.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la couronne crantée de l'organe d'accouplement est agencée à l'intérieur d'une douille cylindrique solidaire du support. La languette de retenue portant l'ergot d'encliquetage forme avantageusement un cliquet de verrouillage après passage par-dessus l'épaulement.According to a preferred embodiment, the notched crown of the coupling member is arranged inside a cylindrical sleeve integral with the support. The retaining tab bearing the detent pin advantageously forms a locking pawl after passing over the shoulder.

De préférence, l'ergot d'encliquetage est conformé selon un plot pyramidal autorisant un mouvement rotatif incrémental sur les différents crans de la couronne.Preferably, the detent pin is shaped according to a pyramidal pad allowing incremental rotational movement on the different notches of the crown.

La glissière de guidage et la languette de retenue se trouvent placées de préférence sur une platine articulée au boîtier de manière à orienter la lampe de bas en haut, et vice-versa. L'axe d'articulation de la platine est orthogonal à l'axe de la couronne crantée de l'organe d'accouplement.The guide rail and the retaining tab are preferably placed on a plate hinged to the housing so as to orient the lamp from bottom to top, and vice versa. The axis of articulation of the plate is orthogonal to the axis of the notched crown of the coupling member.

L'ergot d'encliquetage et les moyens de retenue sur l'élément d'actionnement peuvent être formés par une seule ou deux pièces distinctes séparées.The snap lug and the retaining means on the actuating element may be formed by one or two separate discrete parts.

Description d'un mode de réalisation préférentielDescription of a preferred embodiment

Sur les figures 1 et 2, une lampe 10 électrique d'éclairage comporte un système optique 11 composé d'une diode LED de puissance et d'une lentille 12 de focalisation en forme de volet coulissant. Lorsque le volet est ouvert, le faisceau d'éclairage issu de la diode LED permet une vision longue portée. Lorsque le volet est fermé en étant déplacé devant la diode LED, le faisceau est large pour une vision rapprochée. La diode LED est alimentée par une source d'énergie électrique, notamment des piles ou des accumulateurs rechargeables, l'ensemble étant logé dans un boîtier 13 muni de touches 14 de commande et de sélection.In FIGS. 1 and 2, an electric lighting lamp 10 comprises an optical system 11 composed of a power LED diode and a focusing lens 12 in the form of a sliding shutter. When the shutter is open, the lighting beam from the LED provides long-range vision. When the shutter is closed by being moved in front of the LED, the beam is wide for near vision. The LED is powered by a source of electrical energy, including rechargeable batteries or accumulators, the assembly being housed in a housing 13 provided with keys 14 for control and selection.

Le boîtier 13 est monté à basculement sur une platine 15 de manière à pouvoir orienter la lampe 10 de bas en haut autour d'un axe d'articulation 16 (voir flèche F1).The housing 13 is pivotally mounted on a plate 15 so as to be able to orient the lamp 10 from bottom to top around an axis of articulation 16 (see arrow F1).

La platine 15 est elle-même reliée à un support 17 par une liaison mécanique assurant une double fonction d'encliquetage et d'orientation angulaire dans le sens de la flèche F2.The plate 15 is itself connected to a support 17 by a mechanical connection providing a double latching function and angular orientation in the direction of the arrow F2.

Les deux mouvements d'orientation de la lampe 10 selon les flèches F1 et F2 sont distincts et orthogonaux, celui de basculement du boîtier 13 autour de l'axe 16 étant limité et inférieur à 90°, et l'autre de rotation de l'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15 étant ajustable par incrémentation sur 360° autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au support 17.The two movements of orientation of the lamp 10 according to the arrows F1 and F2 are distinct and orthogonal, that of tilting of the housing 13 around the axis 16 being limited and less than 90 °, and the other of rotation of the lamp 10 and platinum assembly 15 being adjustable in incrementation over 360 ° about an axis perpendicular to the support 17.

En référence aux figures 3 à 8, la platine 15 en forme de U, comporte une âme 18 centrale perpendiculaire à deux branches d'extrémités 19, 20. A l'extérieur du U, l'âme 18 est dotée d'une glissière 21 de guidage dans laquelle s'étend un élément d'actionnement 22 en forme de languette mobile entre une position verrouillée et une position déverrouillée. L'extrémité supérieure sert de patte de préhension 23 pour déverrouiller la liaison mécanique avec le support 17. Les deux branches d'extrémités 19, 20 de la platine 15 sont pourvues de paliers 24 alignés selon l'axe 16 d'articulation de la lampe 10. Le boîtier 13 est pourvu à cet effet de deux demi-axes introduits dans les paliers 24 de la platine 15. L'élément d'actionnement 22 est muni d'un ergot d'encliquetage 25 (figures 3 et 7) situé au voisinage du fond de la glissière 21, et conformé selon un plot pyramidal à faces obliques.With reference to FIGS. 3 to 8, the U-shaped plate 15 has a central core 18 perpendicular to two end branches 19, 20. On the outside of the U, the core 18 is provided with a slide 21 in which an actuating element 22 in the form of a movable tongue extends between a locked position and an unlocked position. The upper end serves as a gripping tab 23 to unlock the mechanical connection with the support 17. The two end branches 19, 20 of the plate 15 are provided with bearings 24 aligned along the axis 16 of articulation of the lamp 10. The housing 13 is provided for this purpose with two half-shafts introduced into the bearings 24 of the plate 15. The actuating element 22 is provided with a detent pin 25 (FIGS. 3 and 7) located at near the bottom of the slide 21, and shaped according to a pyramidal pad with oblique faces.

Le support 17 d'encliquetage de l'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15 peut avoir une forme quelconque, et posséder divers moyens de fixation en fonction de l'usage recherché, notamment pour une coiffe à bandes élastiques, un casque, ou tout autre accessoire. Dans l'exemple des figures 3 à 5 et 9, le support 17 est constitué par un crochet destiné à être accroché de manière amovible à un objet, par exemple la calotte d'un casque. Le crochet est réalisé par moulage d'un matériau plastique, et est déformable par élasticité lors de sa mise en place sur l'objet.The latching support 17 of the lamp unit 10 and plate 15 may have any shape, and have various fastening means depending on the desired use, especially for a cap with elastic bands, a helmet, or any other accessory . In the example of Figures 3 to 5 and 9, the support 17 is constituted by a hook for detachably attached to an object, for example the cap of a helmet. The hook is made by molding a plastic material, and is elastically deformable when it is placed on the object.

La face externe 29 du support 17 disposée en regard de la glissière 21, est équipée d'un organe d'accouplement 26 mâle susceptible de venir en engagement avec l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 pour former la liaison mécanique avec la platine 15. L'organe d'accouplement 26 (voir figure 4) comporte une douille cylindrique faisant saillie de la face externe 29, et munie d'un épaulement 27 de diamètre légèrement supérieur. L'intérieur de la douille est conformé en trou borgne muni d'une couronne crantée 28 annulaire. Les crans de la couronne 28 sont répartis angulairement à intervalles réguliers autour de la périphérie, et coopèrent avec l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 pour réaliser l'indexage. A chaque cran correspond une position angulaire prédéterminée de l'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15 lors de son mouvement rotatif incrémental selon la flèche F2 (figure 2).The outer face 29 of the support 17 disposed opposite the slide 21, is equipped with a male coupling member 26 engageable with the detent pin 25 to form the mechanical connection with the plate 15. L coupling member 26 (see Figure 4) comprises a cylindrical sleeve projecting from the outer face 29, and provided with a shoulder 27 of slightly greater diameter. The inside of the sleeve is shaped as a blind hole provided with an annular ring gear 28. The notches of the ring 28 are angularly distributed at regular intervals around the periphery, and cooperate with the detent pin 25 to perform the indexing. Each notch corresponds to a predetermined angular position of the lamp assembly 10 and platen 15 during its incremental rotary movement according to the arrow F2 (Figure 2).

Pour accoupler l'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15 au support 17, il suffit de faire coulisser la glissière 21 de la platine 15 sur la douille cylindrique de l'organe d'accouplement 26. L'élément de retenue 22 se déforme légèrement par élasticité dans une position intermédiaire pour autoriser le passage de l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 par-dessus l'épaulement 27. En fin de course d'insertion, l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 s'engage dans un cran de la couronne 28, en réalisant la liaison mécanique d'accouplement au support 17. L'élément d'actionnement 22 élastique et l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 constituent un cliquet de verrouillage.To couple the lamp assembly 10 and plate 15 to the support 17, it is sufficient to slide the slide 21 of the plate 15 on the cylindrical sleeve of the coupling member 26. The retaining element 22 deforms slightly by elasticity in an intermediate position to allow the passage of the detent pin 25 over the shoulder 27. At the end of insertion stroke, the detent pin 25 engages in a notch of the crown 28, by making the mechanical coupling connection to the support 17. The elastic actuating element 22 and the locking lug 25 constitute a locking pawl.

L'ergot d'encliquetage (25) et les moyens de retenue sur l'élément d'actionnement (22) sont formés par une même pièce.The detent pin (25) and the retaining means on the actuating element (22) are formed by one and the same piece.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 4, l'organe d'accouplement 26 mâle comprend une couronne 28 à douze crans. En position d'assemblage de l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 dans l'organe d'accouplement 26, il est possible de choisir le positionnement angulaire de la lampe 10 en faisant tourner l'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15 (flèche F2, figure 4) par rapport au support 17. Le passage de l'ergot 25 entre les crans successifs s'effectuant pas à pas par des incréments angulaires réguliers de 30°.In the example of FIG. 4, the male coupling member 26 comprises a crown 12 with twelve notches. In the assembly position of the detent pin 25 in the coupling member 26, it is possible to choose the angular positioning of the lamp 10 by rotating the lamp assembly 10 and plate 15 (arrow F2, FIG. 4) relative to the support 17. The passage of the lug 25 between the successive notches is carried out step by step by regular angular increments of 30 °.

L'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15 peut être facilement démonté du support 17 après déverrouillage de l'ergot d'encliquetage 25. Il suffit de faire pivoter la patte de préhension 23 dans le sens de la flèche F3 (figure 7) pour libérer l'ergot d'encliquetage 25 du cran de la couronne 28. Le cliquet inactif libère l'organe d'accouplement 26 mâle, et permet le dégagement de l'ensemble lampe 10 et platine 15.The lamp unit 10 and plate 15 can be easily removed from the support 17 after unlocking the detent pin 25. It suffices to pivot the gripping tab 23 in the direction of the arrow F3 (FIG. 25 of the notch of the crown of the crown 28. The inactive pawl releases the male coupling member 26, and allows the release of the lamp assembly 10 and platinum 15.

Une même lampe 10 associée à sa platine 15 peut ainsi être fixée facilement sur différents supports 17 distincts.A same lamp 10 associated with its plate 15 can thus be easily attached to different supports 17 distinct.

Selon une variante, la glissière 21 et la languette de retenue 22 avec son ergot d'encliquetage 25 pourraient être agencées directement sur la face arrière du boîtier 13 de la lampe 10.
