Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waterproof lighting device for tubular lamps for domestic use, intended to equip, for example bathrooms, cellars, kitchens, laundries, etc.
  • waterproof lighting fixtures for tubular lamps which consist of a basin-shaped housing covered with a diffuser also in the form of a basin and applied to one another by means of a seal.
  • the lamp or the tubular lamps and their accessories such as ballast and starter and, possibly, capacitor, mounted on a rigid, metallic sole.
  • These known devices are used for example for public lighting and therefore must withstand extremely severe surrounding conditions, incommensurate with those encountered inside a home. Consequently, these known devices, even light ones, are too bulky, and too expensive to find a good welcome in domestic equipment.
  • the object of the invention is a waterproof lighting device for domestic use space-saving elegant and inexpensive lines.
  • the device must be watertight enough to withstand a shower spray.
  • Another object is an apparatus of selectable length according to the lamp lengths using the same construction elements for any length of lamp.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawing is a longitudinal section of one end of a lighting device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged section along a plane XX of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a variant of a detail in FIG. 2.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists of a first profile 1 approximately U-shaped, open at both ends, a second profile 2 of transparent or translucent material, approximately U-shaped, also open at the two ends, of the same length as the first profile 1 and two covers 3 applied to all of the profiles 1 and 2.
  • the first profile 1 may for example be made of aluminum if effective cooling of the accessories to. the interior must be obtained, or, in an insulating material, plastic, extruded in order to easily obtain double insulation. Double insulation can also be obtained if the profile 1 is made of aluminum or another metal. It suffices to cover at least the outer part of this metal profile with an insulating material.
  • the tightness of the lighting fixture is obtained on the one hand by means of thick seals 4 deposited in the bottom of the covers 3 and on the other hand by means of a longitudinal seal between the sections 1 and 2.
  • This longitudinal seal can be obtained on the one hand thanks to the fact that the ends of the branches of the U of the profile 1 are arranged to each have a longitudinal claw 5 while the branches of the U of the profile 2 each have a longitudinal claw 6.
  • the claw 5 is applied firmly in the bottom of the claw 6 and thus ensures sealing.
  • the thickness of the seals 4 in the bottom of the covers 3 must be sufficient to compensate for the length tolerances of the profiles 1 and 2 when they are compressed when the covers 3 are fixed.
  • the covers 3 can be fixed to the profile 1 by example by clipping by means of lugs 7 in cells 8 formed in the profile 1.
  • Other ways of fixing the covers exist, for example by screws engaged in holes 9 '' of a support 9 of base 10 for tubular lamps He.
  • the support 9 is fixed in turn, for example by screws along an axis 13, on a mounting flange 12, disposed at the bottom of the profile 1.
  • the mounting flange 12 can be made of sheet metal, as usual. It supports, in addition to the supports 9, lamp accessories and auxiliary devices, not shown, for example starter, capacitor, ballast choke, transformer for razor plug.
  • a partition wall 14 covers the space inside the profile 1 which contains the lamp accessories and the auxiliary devices.
  • This partition wall 14 can also serve as a reflector or support for a reflector. It is held in two grooves 15 at the ends of the branches of the U of the profile 1. These grooves 15 are preferably arranged near the claws 5 so that the claws 6 of the profile 2 also engage in these grooves 15.
  • the longitudinal edges of the partition wall 14 each comprise two longitudinal lips 16, 17 made of elastic material which are supported, the lip 16 on a part of the groove 15 integral with the profile 1 and the lip 17 on a part of the longitudinal claw 6 of the profile 2. At this moment, these lips 16 and 17 form a very safe and effective seal. This seal easily resists a shower spray.
  • One of the covers 3 can be fitted with a waterproof switch housed in a sealed manner in this cover, for example at the location of a rectangle 18 as well as a waterproof razor socket housed in the cover, for example at the place of rectangle 19.
  • the partition wall 14 can also assume functions for stabilizing the geometric shape of the lighting fixture. It can in particular prevent the parallel branches of the U of the plastic profile 1 from moving away from one another, for example by yielding to a pressure exerted by the claws 6 of the profile 2 or only due to aging of the plastic material constituting the profile 1.
  • the wall 14 comprises, at the location of the lips 16 and 17 a stop rib 20 (FIG. 3) engaged in the groove 15 preventing the lips 16 and 17 from being able to be extracted from this groove 15 in a direction perpendicular to the parallel branches of the U of the profile 1.
  • Profile 2 does not necessarily have to be made of a single material, but can be made, for example on a part 2 'of a material which is not very translucent and, apart from part 2', of a transparent or highly translucent material .
  • it can comprise, either inside or outside, or both inside and outside grooves or other irregularities intended to increase the light scattering effect or, on the contrary, to obtain certain directional effects, as is known for Fresnel lenses.
