  • the clearance between the light source support and the proximal flange, and therefore between the first connection member 20 and the second connection member 22 can fluctuate during the lighting time of the luminaire and / or during the duration of device life when subjected to high temperature gradients.
  • the movement of the spring 76 compensates for any thermal expansion due to the use of the lighting device.
  • the force exerted by the spring on the proximal body 60 eliminates any risk of inadvertent electrical disconnection between the first connection member 20 and the second connection member 22.
  • the lighting device 10 allows installation, possible interventions and simple maintenance.
  • the installation of the device can be carried out in two steps: the connection of the second connection member 22, then the closure of the luminaire facilitated by an automatic connection, namely a simultaneous connection to the closing action and spontaneous by contact by butting.
  • the step of connecting the second connection member 12 is carried out as follows: firstly the electrical cable 50 is passed through the gland 52 and then into the opening 55 'of the proximal housing 54 which can be easily disconnected from the proximal flange 40 so as to facilitate the passage of the cable 50. It comes, in a second step, connect the son previously stripped end of the cable in the screw-in pins 62 of the proximal body 60. In a third time, the proximal body 60 is joined to the proximal housing 54 and then assembled on the dedicated support of the proximal flange 40. The gland 52 is then tightened around the cable to seal the passage of the cable.
  • the closing step of the luminaire is carried out as follows: the closing member 38 is approached so as to position the proximal body 60 of the second connection member 22 opposite the opening of the conduit of the distal housing 68
  • the translational movement during the closure of the closing member 38, to the locked position causes the electrical connection of the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 22 of the connector 18. It is finally locked the l closing member in closed position.
  • FIGS 4A to 4D illustrate more precisely the connection between the first connection member 20 and the second connection member 22.
  • the proximal body 60 compresses the distal body 74 of the first connection member 20.
  • the spring 76 is then compressed, and the distal body 74 is translated in the direction of the distal housing Xd to the second end 72 of distal housing 68.
  • This arrangement ensures a compression of the spring 76 and consequently a constant thrust force of the distal body 74 towards the proximal body 60. Also the electrical connection is secured.
  • an operator proceeds in a succession of simple steps to implement, without special tools (except if necessary the tool for unlocking the proximal or distal flange) and without risk of deterioration of the device.
  • the operator From a closed position of the lighting device 10, or in other words, in the closed position of the proximal 40 and distal flanges 36 on the envelope 12, the operator opens the closure member 38 of the second end 26. For example, the operator has unlocked the closure member. By a movement oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis X in a direction opposite to that of the proximal flange 40 of the casing 12, the operator removes at least partially the closing member 38 of the second opening 32 '. The removal of the closure member 38 allows access to the interior space E, and among other things provides access to the light source 14 and its support 16.
  • the light source support comprises the gripping handle 92 which allows the removal of the light source support from the inner space E and / or translating the light source support 16 in the interior space in a direction opposite to the proximal flange 40 along the longitudinal axis X.
  • the intervention opposite to the connector is described, that is to say intervention by the distal flange.
  • the translation is therefore in a direction opposite to the proximal flange 40.
  • longitudinal axis X causes the electrical disconnection of the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 22 of the connector 18.
  • the withdrawal and / or translation in the inner space E in one direction opposite the proximal flange 40 substantially along the longitudinal axis X of the light source support 16 causes the translation of the first connecting member 20 along the longitudinal axis X, and therefore the distal housing 68 in the direction of the longitudinal axis X in a direction opposite to that of the proximal flange 40.
  • the first connecting member 20 thus moves away from the second connection member 22.
  • the translation of the first connection member 20 causes the decoupling of its electrical contact element 82 and of the electrical contact element 61 of the second connection member 22.
  • closure member 38 may be mechanically connected in the open position to the envelope 12, for example by means of a cable or strap.
  • the operator comes to open the closure member 38 associated with the first end 24.
  • the operator has unlocked the closure member 38.
  • the operator at least partially removes the closure member 38 from the first opening 32.
  • the at least partial withdrawal of the closure member 38 causes the electrical disconnection of the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 22 of the connector 18.
  • the removal of the closure member 38 of the opening causes the translation of the second connecting member 22 salt the longitudinal axis X, the second connection member 22 away from the first connecting member 20. Also, the translation of the second connection member 22 causes the decoupling of its electrical contact element 82 and the electrical contact element 61 of the second connection member 22.
  • Access to the light source support is then possible, by sliding the light source support out of the interior space E via the handle 92.
  • the lighting device is then closed by replacing the support of light source in the interior space and then closing the closing member 38.
  • the reconnection operation being automatic by the present invention, the gland is closed once and for all during the installation of the lighting device, which contributes greatly to the guarantee of preservation of the seal.
  • the lighting device 10 may be provided alone, as previously described or coupled in series with a second lighting device of the same type.
  • the lighting device 10 may be electrically connected in series with another lighting device 10 'similar to the lighting device 10.
  • the lighting device may be associated in series with a plurality of lighting devices.
  • the distal flange 36 is similar to the proximal flange described above and a second connector 180 similar to the connector 18 is provided near the second end 26 of the envelope.
  • the lighting device can thus be advantageously perfectly symmetrical.
  • a second power supply cable 50 'exits the interior space E of the lighting device 10 through the second end 26 and is directly connected to the second device 10'.
  • the present device has the advantage of perpetuating the seal. Indeed, since the device is coupled in series with several other lighting devices, each of its two closure members 38 are traversed by a cable 50. During an intervention on the device, one of the two closure members 38 must be removed to clear the opening of the envelope and access the internal organs. The removal of the closing member 38 is facilitated by the presence of the connection device as described. Once the defective part has been replaced, the closure member must be closed again, which is also facilitated by the device that is the subject of the present invention. Without this invention, the reconnection of the closure member must be done manually by the operator, who sometimes has to loosen the cable gland, so that the flange can slide along the cable and away from the body of the luminaire.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous and overcomes these disadvantages.
