Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un organe de fixation pour fixer dans un faux plafond un dispositif muni d'une bande comportant une entaille axiale, organe comprenant une lame en matériau élastique munie d'un moyen d'accrochage à la bande, permettant le coulissement le long de la bande, moyen qui comporte une patte d'accrochage plus large que la largeur de l'entaille, patte qui est attachée à la lame par un pont moins large que la largeur de l'entaille, de façon que, lors de l'utilisation, le pont passe au travers de l'entaille et la patte s'appuie sur l'arrière de la bande, cependant que, lors de la fixation du dispositif, l'extrémité de la lame s'appuie sur le dessus du faux plafond, la lame formant alors un angle aigu avec la bande.The present invention relates to a fixing member for fixing in a false ceiling a device provided with a strip comprising an axial notch, member comprising a blade of elastic material provided with a means of attachment to the strip, allowing sliding along of the strip, means which comprises a hooking tab wider than the width of the notch, tab which is attached to the blade by a bridge narrower than the width of the notch, so that, during the use, the bridge passes through the notch and the tab rests on the back of the strip, while, when fixing the device, the end of the blade rests on the top of the false ceiling , the blade then forming an acute angle with the strip.
L'invention concerne en outre un luminaire à encastrer dans un faux plafond, muni d'une bande comportant une entaille axiale.The invention further relates to a luminaire to be recessed into a false ceiling, provided with a strip comprising an axial notch.
Un organe de fixation pour un encastré, muni d'une bande avec une entaille axiale, est connu du document FR-A-2723988. Selon ce document, la lame peut être bloquée en coulissement par rapport à la bande du fait qu'elle porte à son extrémité une partie trapézoïdale qui s'engage et se coince dans l'entaille.A fixing member for a recessed fitting, provided with a strip with an axial cut, is known from document FR-A-2723988. According to this document, the blade can be locked in sliding with respect to the strip because it carries at its end a trapezoidal part which engages and gets stuck in the notch.
Un objet de l'invention est, entre autres, d'améliorer la sûreté de blocage de l'organe de fixation par rapport à la bande, et d'en faciliter le déblocage, en cas de besoin.An object of the invention is, inter alia, to improve the blocking safety of the fixing member with respect to the strip, and to facilitate the release, if necessary.
A cet effet, le moyen d'accrochage est disposé à l'extrémité de la lame, du côté opposé à celui qui s'appuie sur le faux plafond, et l'organe comprend en outre un bracelet coulissant qui, lors de l'utilisation, entoure à la fois la bande et la lame.To this end, the attachment means is arranged at the end of the blade, on the side opposite to that which rests on the false ceiling, and the member further comprises a sliding strap which, during use , surrounds both the strip and the blade.
Cet agencement permet, de façon simple, de bloquer la lame en coulissement vis-à-vis de la bande, tout en l'appuyant contre le plafond.This arrangement makes it possible, in a simple manner, to block the sliding blade vis-à-vis the strip, while pressing it against the ceiling.
A proximité de l'extrémité qui porte le moyen d'accrochage, la lame forme avantageusement un angle dont le sommet est tourné vers la bande, de façon que la lame s'appuie sur la bande par le sommet de l'angle, en position de fixation.Near the end which carries the attachment means, the blade advantageously forms an angle, the vertex is turned towards the strip, so that the blade rests on the strip through the apex of the angle, in the fixing position.
Ainsi le blocage de la lame par rapport à la bande est plus efficace.Thus blocking the blade relative to the strip is more effective.
Avantageusement, la lame comporte une pluralité de fentes ou de saillies transversales, et le bracelet un moyen d'accrochage susceptible de s'y accrocher.Advantageously, the blade has a plurality of slots or transverse projections, and the bracelet a hooking means capable of hanging on it.
Ainsi un blocage du bracelet est obtenu de façon sûre.Thus a blocking of the bracelet is obtained in a secure manner.
Le bracelet comporte de préférence une pièce en relief permettant de le manipuler.The bracelet preferably includes a raised part allowing it to be manipulated.
Un luminaire encastré est avantageusement équipé d'au moins un organe de fixation selon l'invention.A recessed luminaire is advantageously fitted with at least one fixing member according to the invention.
Ces aspects de l'invention ainsi que d'autres aspects plus détaillés apparaîtront plus clairement grâce à la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation constituant un exemple non limitatif.These aspects of the invention as well as other more detailed aspects will become more clearly apparent from the following description of an embodiment constituting a nonlimiting example.
La figure 1 représente une partie de la bande comportant une entaille axiale, et l'organe qui s'y accroche, avec en A la bande vue de profil, et en B la bande vue de face.FIG. 1 represents a part of the strip comprising an axial notch, and the member which hangs thereon, with at A the strip seen in profile, and at B the strip seen from the front.
La figure 2 représente, en perspective, séparés l'un de l'autre, une partie de la bande comportant une entaille axiale, la lame et le bracelet.Figure 2 shows, in perspective, separated from each other, a part of the strip having an axial cut, the blade and the bracelet.
Dans la figure 1, un luminaire à encastrer dans une ouverture circulaire d'un faux plafond est représenté à titre d'exemple, en perspective, à échelle réduite, sous la référence 10. Ce luminaire est muni d'une bande 11 comportant une entaille ou fente axiale, d'un arrangement 12 pour fixer une lampe, par exemple une lampe à réflecteur incorporé, et d'une collerette 13. Lors de l'utilisation, l'ensemble des pièces 11 et 12 est à l'intérieur du faux plafond, et l'élément horizontal de la collerette 13 est appuyé sous le plafond. Il est clair toutefois que tout objet fixé dans un plafond, autre qu'un luminaire de cette sorte, peut faire usage de l'organe de fixation selon l'invention.In FIG. 1, a luminaire to be recessed in a circular opening of a false ceiling is shown by way of example, in perspective, on a reduced scale, under the
Une partie de la bande 11 est représentée par ailleurs, à plus grande échelle, en position d'utilisation, c'est-à-dire avec l'organe de fixation en place. La bande 11 est vue par sa tranche sur la figure 1A, et vue de face, avec son entaille ou fente 17, sur la figure 1B. L'organe de fixation comprend une lame 1 en matériau élastique, qui peut coulisser le long de la susdite bande 11 (à droite de la bande, en A, ou devant la bande, en B). L'extrémité inférieure de la lame s'appuie sur le dessus du faux plafond 16, et la lame 1 forme un angle aigu avec la bande 11. L'extrémité supérieure de la lame est engagée dans l'entaille 17 de la bande au moyen d'un moyen d'accrochage 2 qui sera décrit en regard de la figure 2. Un bracelet coulissant 3 entoure à la fois la bande et la lame. Il comporte une pièce 4 en relief permettant de le manipuler. Bien entendu, le bracelet pourrait aussi être monté dans l'autre sens, avec la pièce 4 à gauche sur la figure 1A. La section 13 de la collerette du luminaire est appuyée sous le plafond 16. A proximité de l'extrémité qui porte le moyen d'accrochage, la lame forme un angle 18 dont le sommet est tourné vers la bande. Ainsi la lame est appuyée sur la bande par le sommet de l'angle.Part of the
La figure 2 représente une partie de la bande 11 avec l'entaille 17, une lame 1, et un bracelet 3. La lame 1 comporte, à son extrémité supérieure, une patte d' accrochage 2 plus large que la largeur de l'entaille 17, patte qui est attachée à la lame par un pont 9 moins large que la largeur de l'entaille 17, de façon que le pont passe au travers de l'entaille et la patte d'accrochage s'accroche derrière la bande.FIG. 2 represents a part of the
La lame 1 comporte une pluralité de fentes ou de saillies 8 transversales, et le bracelet 3 porte une patte 14, visible par transparence, susceptible de s'engager dans une des fentes 8, ou de s'accrocher à une des saillies 8, dans le cas où il s'agit de saillies. Ici la patte 14 est dans le prolongement de la pièce 4 en relief permettant de manipuler le bracelet, mais l'homme du métier peut imaginer facilement différentes autres formes pour ce bracelet, notamment selon la matière utilisée, et son mode de travail. La lame porte en outre à son extrémité inférieure des pointes 5, 6 qui l'empêchent de glisser sur le faux plafond, et une patte 7 pour la manipuler plus aisément. A proximité de l'extrémité qui porte le moyen d'accrochage 2, elle forme un angle 18 dont le sommet est tourné vers la bande. Le bracelet 3 est ouvert en 15, pour permettre de l'enfiler autour de la lame 1, malgré la présence des pièces 9 ou 7.The
