Description

La présente invention concerne de manière générale le raccordement électrique d'un bloc d'éclairage au réseau électrique local d'un bâtiment.The present invention generally relates to the electrical connection of a lighting unit to the local electrical network of a building.

Il s'agit par exemple avantageusement d'un bloc autonome de sécurité ou d'un bloc de signalisation, du type de ceux disposés à la vue dans des lieux publics pour porter à la connaissance de chacun une quelconque consigne de sécurité ou une quelconque information.This is for example advantageously an autonomous security block or a signal block, the type of those arranged in public places to bring to the attention of everyone any safety instructions or any information .

Toutefois, l'invention s'applique également à tout autre type de blocs d'éclairage, par exemple aux enseignes électriques.However, the invention also applies to any other type of lighting blocks, for example electrical signs.

Elle concerne précisément ici dispositif d'éclairage tel que défini dans le préambule de la revendication 1.It relates precisely here lighting device as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUEBACKGROUND

On connaît notamment du document FR 2 739 171 un dispositif d'éclairage tel que précité, dont la patère supporte un bloc d'éclairage.We know in particular of the document FR 2,739,171 a lighting device as mentioned above, the peg supports a lighting block.

Dans ce document, la patère est plus spécifiquement adaptée aux chantiers de construction de bâtiments.In this document, the hook is more specifically adapted to building construction sites.

Elle est en effet agencée pour être rapportée au niveau d'une cavité pratiquée dans une paroi murale, par laquelle débouchent des conducteurs d'alimentation électrique du bloc d'éclairage.It is indeed arranged to be reported at a cavity made in a wall, through which open the power supply conductors of the lighting unit.

La partie de fixation de la patère est à cet effet formée par une platine qui est adaptée à être rapportée contre la paroi murale, et qui présente une ouverture de passage des conducteurs électriques vers le bloc d'éclairage.For this purpose, the fixing portion of the peg is formed by a plate which is adapted to be attached to the wall wall and which has an opening for the passage of the electrical conductors towards the lighting unit.

L'inconvénient majeur de cette patère est qu'elle est mal adaptée aux chantiers de rénovation de bâtiments.The major disadvantage of this hook is that it is poorly suited to building renovation projects.

En effet, sur un tel chantier, les conducteurs électriques sont tirés vers le bloc d'éclairage non dans l'épaisseur de la paroi murale comme cela est possible lors de la construction du bâtiment, mais à l'intérieur de goulottes rapportées en saillie sur la paroi murale.Indeed, on such a site, the electrical conductors are pulled towards the light block not in the thickness of the wall wall as is possible during the construction of the building, but inside of gutters reported protruding on the wall wall.

Pour raccorder le bloc d'éclairage aux conducteurs électriques tirés à l'intérieur d'une goulotte, il est alors nécessaire de fixer la patère sur la goulotte elle-même, au détriment de l'épaisseur de l'ensemble, de sa rigidité et de son étanchéité.To connect the lighting unit to the electrical conductors pulled inside a chute, it is then necessary to fix the hook on the chute itself, to the detriment of the thickness of the assembly, its rigidity and its tightness.

On connaît par ailleurs du document US 5 307 254 un dispositif d'éclairage comportant une patère faisant office de boîte de dérivation, et un bloc d'éclairage comprenant notamment un support à fixer à la patère.It is also known from the document US 5,307,254 a lighting device comprising a hook serving as a junction box, and a lighting unit comprising in particular a support to be fixed to the hook.

Dans ce document, la patère comporte une platine percée d'ouvertures de passage de vis pour sa fixation au mur, et un boîtier qui fait office de boîte de dérivation et qui vient de formation avec la platine. Cette patère est donc dépourvue de moyens d'assujettissement d'une boîte de dérivation, au détriment notamment de sa modularité.In this document, the hook has a plate pierced with screw openings for fixing to the wall, and a box which serves as a junction box and which has just formed with the plate. This hook is therefore devoid of means for securing a junction box, to the detriment of its modularity.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Afin de remédier aux inconvénients précités de l'état de la technique, la présente invention propose une patère adaptée aux chantiers de rénovation, conférant au dispositif d'éclairage une épaisseur réduite et une étanchéité optimale.In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art, the present invention provides a hook adapted to renovation projects, giving the lighting device a reduced thickness and an optimum seal.

Plus particulièrement, on propose selon l'invention un dispositif d'éclairage tel que défini dans la revendication 1.More particularly, there is provided according to the invention a lighting device as defined in claim 1.

Ainsi, avantageusement, ladite boîte de dérivation vient recouvrir l'ouverture d'entrée de câble, ce qui assure une bonne étanchéité au dispositif d'éclairage.Thus, advantageously, said junction box comes to cover the cable entry opening, which ensures a good seal to the lighting device.

La place de la boîte de dérivation, sur l'un des côtés de la patère, confère en outre à l'ensemble une épaisseur réduite.The place of the junction box, on one side of the hook, also gives the set a reduced thickness.

La position de la boîte de dérivation par rapport à la patère permet en outre de fixer la patère directement à la paroi, au profit de la rigidité de cette fixation.The position of the junction box relative to the hook also allows to fix the hook directly to the wall, in favor of the rigidity of this attachment.

D'autres caractéristiques non limitatives et avantageuses du dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention sont définies dans les revendications 2 et suivantes.Other non-limiting and advantageous features of the lighting device according to the invention are defined in claims 2 and following.

Ce dispositif d'éclairage 1 comporte un bloc d'éclairage 10 ici de sécurité et une patère 20 qui est agencée pour se fixer à une paroi murale et pour supporter le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10.This lighting device 1 comprises a lighting block 10 here of security and a bracket 20 which is arranged to attach to a wall wall and to support the security lighting block 10.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 présente globalement une forme de parallélépipède allongé. Il s'étend ainsi en longueur selon un axe longitudinal X, en largeur selon un axe transversal Y et en épaisseur selon un axe frontal Z.As shown on the figures 1 and 2 , the safety lighting unit 10 generally has an elongate parallelepiped shape. It thus extends in length along a longitudinal axis X, in width along a transverse axis Y and in thickness along a front axis Z.

Classiquement, en position d'utilisation, le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 doit être rapporté sur la paroi murale de telle sorte que son axe longitudinal X s'étende horizontalement, parallèlement à la paroi murale, que son axe transversal Y s'étende verticalement et que son axe frontal Z s'étende horizontalement, orthogonalement à la paroi murale.Conventionally, in the position of use, the emergency lighting unit 10 must be attached to the wall wall so that its longitudinal axis X extends horizontally, parallel to the wall, that its transverse axis Y extends vertically and that its front axis Z extends horizontally, orthogonally to the wall wall.

Ce bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 est pour l'essentiel formé d'un socle creux 13 ouvert en face avant, d'un circuit électronique (non visible sur les figures) logé à l'intérieur du socle creux 13, d'une source de lumière branchée au circuit électronique, et d'un couvercle translucide 14 qui ferme le socle creux 13 pour mettre la source de lumière à l'abri.This security lighting unit 10 is essentially formed of a hollow base 13 open on the front face, of an electronic circuit (not visible in the figures) housed inside the hollow base 13, a light source connected to the electronic circuit, and a translucent cover 14 which closes the hollow base 13 to protect the light source.

Ce couvercle translucide 14 est ici réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique transparente. La face extérieure de sa paroi frontale peut en outre être revêtue d'un autocollant illustrant l'information de sécurité désirée (dans le cas où le bloc d'éclairage est un bloc d'évacuation) ou peut être laissée vierge (dans le cas où le bloc d'éclairage est un bloc d'éclairage de secours).This translucent cover 14 is here made in one piece by molding a transparent plastic material. The outer face of its front wall may also be coated with a sticker illustrating the desired safety information (in the case where the lighting unit is an exhaust block) or may be left blank (in the case where the lighting unit is an emergency lighting unit).

Le socle creux 13 comporte ici une paroi de fond bordée de quatre parois latérales pour délimiter un logement d'accueil de la source de lumière. Il est ici réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique isolante, telle que le polycarbonate.The hollow base 13 here comprises a bottom wall lined with four side walls to define a housing for receiving the light source. It is here made in one piece by molding an insulating plastic material, such as polycarbonate.

Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 2, sa paroi de fond présente un renfoncement vers l'avant qui délimite une cavité 11 s'ouvrant sur l'arrière et par laquelle se fait le montage du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 sur la patère 20. Ici, la cavité 11 s'étend sur toute la largeur du socle creux 13 (suivant l'axe transversal Y), mais sur une partie seulement de sa longueur (suivant l'axe longitudinal X), dans la zone médiane de celui-ci. Elle s'étend ici selon un contour rectangulaire. Le débouché de cette cavité 11 est pas ailleurs bordé sur ses deux côtés par deux renfoncements 11A rectangulaires en creux dans la paroi de fond du socle creux 13, qui s'étendent sur toute la largeur du socle creux 13 (suivant l'axe transversal Y), et qui présentent une faible profondeur comparée à celle de la cavité 11.As shown more particularly in figure 2 , its bottom wall has a recess forward which defines a cavity 11 opening on the rear and by which is mounted the safety light block 10 on the hook 20. Here, the cavity 11 s extends over the entire width of the hollow base 13 (along the transverse axis Y), but only a part of its length (along the longitudinal axis X), in the central zone thereof. It extends here in a rectangular outline. The outlet of this cavity 11 is not further bordered on its two sides by two recesses 11A rectangular hollow in the bottom wall of the hollow base 13, which extend over the entire width of the hollow base 13 (along the transverse axis Y ), and which have a shallow depth compared to that of the cavity 11.

Le circuit électronique, logé derrière le fond de la cavité 11, comporte des broches (non représentées) qui traversent le fond de cette cavité, orthogonalement à celui-ci, pour faire saillie à l'intérieur de la cavité 11. Ces broches permettent d'alimenter la source de lumière en courant électrique.The electronic circuit, housed behind the bottom of the cavity 11, comprises pins (not shown) which cross the bottom of this cavity, orthogonally thereto, to project inside the cavity 11. These pins allow the supply the light source with electric current.

La patère 20 comporte quant à elle une partie de fixation 21 équipée de moyens de fixation 24 à la paroi murale, et une partie de support 22 équipée de premiers moyens d'assujettissement 25 du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10.The hook 20 has in turn a fixing portion 21 provided with fastening means 24 to the wall wall, and a support portion 22 equipped with first securing means 25 of the emergency lighting unit 10.

En l'espèce, comme le montrent plus précisément les figures 3 et 4, la partie de fixation de la patère 20 est formée par une platine 21. Cette platine 21 comporte ici une paroi avant 21 B en forme de plaque plane rectangulaire, et des nervures de rigidification 21A qui s'étendent sur la face arrière de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21 pour la rigidifier.In this case, as shown more specifically by the Figures 3 and 4 the fastening portion of the peg 20 is formed by a plate 21. This plate 21 here comprises a front wall 21B in the form of a rectangular flat plate, and stiffening ribs 21A which extend on the rear face of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21 to stiffen it.

Ces nervures de rigidification 21A sont ainsi agencées pour s'appliquer contre la paroi murale, permettant ainsi de surélever la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21 par rapport à la paroi murale.These stiffening ribs 21A are thus arranged to be applied against the wall wall, thus making it possible to raise the front wall 21 B of the plate 21 with respect to the wall wall.

Parmi ces nervures de rigidification 21A, il est en particulier prévu une nervure périphérique qui borde esthétiquement la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21.Among these stiffening ribs 21A, there is in particular provided a peripheral rib which aesthetically borders the front wall 21B of the plate 21.

Les moyens de fixation 24 prévus sur la platine 21 pour la fixer solidement à la paroi murale comportent ici une pluralité d'ouvertures allongées 24 en forme de boutonnières. Ces ouvertures allongées 24, pratiquées dans la paroi avant 21A de la platine 21, sont prévues pour permettre le passage de vis de fixation (non représentées). Elles sont disposées suivant des orientations différentes en vue de faciliter, d'une part, leur centrage en regard des trous de perçages pratiqués au préalable dans la paroi murale, et, d'autre part, la mise à l'horizontale de la patère 20.The fastening means 24 provided on the plate 21 to fix it firmly to the wall wall here comprise a plurality of elongated openings 24 in the form of buttonholes. These elongated openings 24, made in the front wall 21A of the plate 21, are provided to allow the passage of fixing screws (not shown). They are arranged in different orientations in order to facilitate, on the one hand, their centering with respect to the drill holes previously made in the wall wall, and, on the other hand, the horizontal setting of the hook 20 .

Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 4, ces ouvertures allongées 24 sont toutes bordées en face arrière par une nervure de rigidification permettant de solidifier les zones de la platine 21 au niveau desquelles les têtes des vis de fixation s'appuieront.As shown more particularly in figure 4 these elongate openings 24 are all lined on the rear face by a stiffening rib for solidifying the areas of the plate 21 at which the heads of the fixing screws will be supported.

La partie de support 22 de la patère 20, qui est agencée pour supporter le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10, est ici conçue pour s'engager et se fixer dans la cavité 11 prévue à l'arrière du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10.The support portion 22 of the bracket 20, which is arranged to support the emergency lighting unit 10, is here designed to engage and be fixed in the cavity 11 provided at the rear of the emergency lighting unit 10.

Elle comporte à cet effet une paroi latérale 26 qui s'élève à partir de la face avant de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21, orthogonalement à celle-ci, et qui s'étend selon un contour fermé sensiblement rectangulaire.It comprises for this purpose a side wall 26 which rises from the front face of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21, orthogonally thereto, and which extends in a substantially rectangular closed contour.

Cette paroi latérale 26 s'étend plus précisément sur une hauteur égale à la profondeur de la cavité 11 prévue dans le socle creux 13 du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10, et suivant un contour de forme sensiblement identique à celui de cette cavité 11.This side wall 26 extends more precisely over a height equal to the depth of the cavity 11 provided in the hollow base 13 of the emergency lighting unit 10, and in a contour of shape substantially identical to that of this cavity 11.

Cette paroi latérale 26 forme ainsi un guide sur lequel la cavité 11 peut coulisser suivant l'axe frontal Z. Elle facilite alors le montage du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 sur la patère 20.This side wall 26 thus forms a guide on which the cavity 11 can slide along the front axis Z. It then facilitates the mounting of the safety lighting unit 10 on the peg 20.

Les renfoncements 11A (voir figure 2) prévus de part et d'autre de la cavité 11 permettent quant à eux d'accueillir les bords de la platine 21, de manière que la patère 20 puisse s'engager entièrement à l'intérieur du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10.The recesses 11A (see figure 2 ) provided on either side of the cavity 11 allow for them to accommodate the edges of the plate 21, so that the hook 20 can fully engage inside the safety lighting unit 10.

Les premiers moyens d'assujettissement 25 prévus sur la patère 20 sont adaptés à bloquer rigidement le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 sur la patère 20. Ils sont plus précisément ici adaptés à bloquer la translation du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 sur la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20 lorsque le fond de la cavité 11 arrive en appui contre le bord d'extrémité de la paroi latérale 26.The first securing means 25 provided on the peg 20 are adapted to rigidly block the safety lighting unit 10 on the peg 20. They are more specifically adapted here to block the translation of the safety lighting unit 10 on the side wall 26 of the hook 20 when the bottom of the cavity 11 bears against the end edge of the side wall 26.

Tels que représentés sur les figures 2 et 3, ces premiers moyens d'assujettissement comportent deux protubérances 25 en saillie de la face avant de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21. Ces deux protubérances 25 sont ici logés dans deux décrochés 36 de la paroi latérale 26, formés par des renfoncements de deux coins opposés de la paroi latérale 26.As represented on the figures 2 and 3 these first securing means comprise two protuberances 25 projecting from the front face of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21. These two protuberances 25 are here housed in two unhooked portions 36 of the side wall 26, formed by recesses of two opposite corners of the side wall 26.

Le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 comporte, en correspondance, des moyens d'assujettissement complémentaires 12 formés ici par deux pattes flexibles 15 qui s'étendent à partir du fond de la cavité 11, orthogonalement à celui-ci.The emergency lighting unit 10 comprises, in correspondence, complementary securing means 12 formed here by two flexible tabs 15 which extend from the bottom of the cavity 11, orthogonally thereto.

Pour verrouiller les moyens d'assujettissement 12, 25 en position fixe les uns par rapport aux autres, le dispositif d'éclairage 1 comporte en outre deux languettes amovibles (non représentées sur les figures).To lock the securing means 12, 25 in a fixed position relative to each other, the lighting device 1 further comprises two removable tongues (not shown in the figures).

En position d'utilisation, ces languettes amovibles sont engagées sur les pattes flexibles 15. Une première de leurs extrémités est adaptée à s'accrocher aux protubérances 25, tandis qu'une seconde de leurs extrémités traverse des ouvertures 16 prévues en correspondance dans la paroi de la cavité 11 pour faire saillie à l'extérieur. De cette manière, grâce à la flexibilité des pattes flexibles 15, ces languettes amovibles peuvent être manoeuvrées par l'usager pour s'accrocher ou se décrocher des protubérances 25.In the position of use, these removable tabs are engaged on the flexible tabs 15. A first of their ends is adapted to hook to the protuberances 25, while a second of their ends passes through openings 16 provided in correspondence in the wall of the cavity 11 to protrude outside. In this way, thanks to the flexibility of the flexible tabs 15, these removable tabs can be manipulated by the user to hook or unhook the protuberances 25.

Selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la patère 20 comporte au moins une ouverture d'entrée de câble 27 pratiquée dans sa paroi latérale 26 (voir figures 1 et 3), ainsi que des seconds moyens d'assujettissement 30 d'une boîte de dérivation 50 (voir figure 4) adaptés à fixer cette boîte de dérivation 50 contre la paroi latérale 26, en vis-à-vis de ladite ouverture d'entrée de câble 27.According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, the hook 20 comprises at least one cable entry opening 27 made in its side wall 26 (see FIG. figures 1 and 3 ), as well as second securing means 30 of a junction box 50 (see figure 4 ) adapted to fix this junction box 50 against the side wall 26, vis-à-vis said cable entry opening 27.

Telle que représentée sur les figures 1 et 3, la paroi latérale 26 comporte plus précisément deux ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 situées côte à côte sur un même côté 26A de la paroi latérale 26, en l'espèce sur le côté supérieur 26A de cette paroi latérale 26.As represented on the figures 1 and 3 , the side wall 26 more precisely comprises two cable entry openings 27 located side by side on a same side 26A of the side wall 26, in this case on the upper side 26A of this side wall 26.

Ces deux ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 sont circulaires et présentent un même diamètre de 20 millimètres.These two cable entry openings 27 are circular and have the same diameter of 20 millimeters.

Telle que représentée sur les figures 1, 3 et 4, la boîte de dérivation 50 comporte un boîtier creux 52, de préférence isolant, de forme allongée.As represented on the figures 1 , 3 and 4 , the junction box 50 comprises a hollow housing 52, preferably insulating, elongated.

En position d'utilisation, le boîtier creux 52 est ici prévu pour être rapporté sur la patère 20 de telle manière que son axe longitudinal s'étende parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal X.In the position of use, the hollow housing 52 is here provided to be attached to the hook 20 so that its longitudinal axis extends parallel to the longitudinal axis X.

Le boîtier creux 52 de la boîte de dérivation 50 est formé d'un socle arrière 60 et d'un capot avant 70 adapté à être rapporté et fixé sur le socle arrière 60 par des moyens d'encliquetage. Ce socle arrière 60 et ce capot avant 70 sont agencés de telle manière qu'une fois assemblés, ils délimitent ensemble intérieurement un logement cylindrique 56 d'axe parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du boîtier creux 52 et de diamètre sensiblement égal à 14 millimètres.The hollow housing 52 of the junction box 50 is formed of a rear base 60 and a front cover 70 adapted to be attached and fixed on the rear base 60 by latching means. This rear base 60 and this front cover 70 are arranged in such a way that once assembled, they delimit together internally a cylindrical housing 56 of axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hollow housing 52 and of diameter substantially equal to 14 millimeters.

Le boîtier creux 52 est ouvert sur ses deux faces d'extrémité par des ouvertures d'entrée de câble 53 de diamètre sensiblement égal à 20 millimètres. De cette manière, le logement cylindrique 56 défini à l'intérieur du boîtier creux 52 est traversant.The hollow casing 52 is open on its two end faces by cable entry openings 53 of diameter substantially equal to 20 millimeters. In this way, the cylindrical housing 56 defined inside the hollow housing 52 is through.

Le boîtier creux 52 est également ouvert au centre de sa face supérieure par une troisième ouverture d'entrée de câble 55 de diamètre sensiblement égal à 20 millimètres, qui communique avec l'intérieur du logement cylindrique 56.The hollow housing 52 is also open at the center of its upper face by a third cable entry opening 55 of diameter substantially equal to 20 millimeters, which communicates with the interior of the cylindrical housing 56.

Le boîtier creux 52 est enfin ouvert au centre de sa face inférieure par deux ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 qui communiquent avec l'intérieur du logement cylindrique 56. Ces deux ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 sont plus précisément situées côte à côte avec un entr'axe égal à l'entr'axe prévu entre les deux ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 de la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20.The hollow housing 52 is finally open at the center of its underside by two cable outlet openings 51 which communicate with the interior of the cylindrical housing 56. These two cable exit openings 51 are more precisely located side by side with an inlet. axis equal to the center distance provided between the two cable entry openings 27 of the side wall 26 of the hook 20.

Les deux ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 sont ici bordées sur leur face extérieure par une couronne 54 de diamètre extérieur égal, au jeu près, au diamètre des ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 de la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20. Ces deux couronnes 54 sont ainsi adaptées à être engagées dans les ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 de la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20.The two cable exit openings 51 are here bordered on their outer face by a ring 54 of outside diameter equal, with the clearance, to the diameter of the cable entry openings 27 of the side wall 26 of the hook 20. The rings 54 are thus adapted to be engaged in the cable entry openings 27 of the side wall 26 of the hook 20.

Les seconds moyens d'assujettissement 30, prévus sur la patère 20 pour solidement fixer la boîte de dérivation 50 sur celle-ci, pourraient être de tout type (collage, rivetage, encliquetage, ...).The second securing means 30, provided on the hook 20 for securely fixing the junction box 50 thereon, could be of any type (gluing, riveting, snapping, ...).

Ici, ces seconds moyens d'assujettissement 30 comportent :

  • un logement d'accueil 33 d'une bride 80 prévue en correspondance sur la boîte de dérivation 50,
  • des moyens de montage 31, 32 facilitant l'engagement de cette bride 80 dans le logement d'accueil 33, et
  • des moyens de blocage 82 de la bride 80 dans le logement d'accueil 33.
Here, these second securing means 30 comprise:
  • a receiving housing 33 of a flange 80 provided in correspondence on the junction box 50,
  • mounting means 31, 32 facilitating the engagement of this flange 80 in the receiving housing 33, and
  • locking means 82 of the flange 80 in the receiving housing 33.

Comme le montre la figure 1, la bride 80 prévue sur la boîte de dérivation 50 est formée par une plaque 81 globalement rectangulaire, qui s'étend à partir de la face inférieure du boîtier creux 52 de la boîte de dérivation 50, perpendiculairement à celle-ci, dans le plan de la face arrière du boîtier creux 52. Telle que représentée sur la figure 1, cette bride 80 présente ici deux encoches rectangulaires 83 respectivement situées sur ses deux tranches latérales.As shown in figure 1 , the flange 80 provided on the junction box 50 is formed by a generally rectangular plate 81, which extends from the lower face of the hollow casing 52 of the junction box 50, perpendicular to it, in the plane of the rear face of the hollow housing 52. As shown in FIG. figure 1 , this flange 80 here has two rectangular notches 83 respectively located on its two side edges.

Le logement d'accueil 33 de cette bride 80 s'étend quant à lui dans l'épaisseur de la platine 21 de la patère 20. En l'espèce, une zone de la platine 21 est dépourvue de nervure de rigidification, ce qui permet de dégager un renfoncement à l'arrière de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21, qui forme ledit logement d'accueil 33.The receiving housing 33 of this flange 80 extends in turn in the thickness of the plate 21 of the hook 20. In this case, an area of the plate 21 is devoid of stiffening rib, which allows to release a recess at the rear of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21, which forms said receiving housing 33.

Ainsi, la bride 80 prévue sur la boîte de dérivation 50 peut être rapportée dans son logement d'accueil 33 en s'appliquant contre la face arrière de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21 de la patère 20. De cette manière, l'emboîtement de la bride 80 dans le logement d'accueil 33 ne requiert qu'une épaisseur réduite, ce qui permet de minimiser l'épaisseur de la platine 21 et ainsi de positionner le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 à une distance très réduite de la paroi murale.Thus, the flange 80 provided on the junction box 50 can be reported in its receiving housing 33 by applying against the rear face of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21 of the hook 20. In this way, The engagement of the flange 80 in the receiving housing 33 requires only a reduced thickness, which makes it possible to minimize the thickness of the plate 21 and thus to position the safety lighting unit 10 at a very small distance. wall wall.

Les moyens de montage 31, 32, prévus sur la patère 20 pour faciliter l'engagement de la bride 80 dans le logement d'accueil 33, comportent ici deux rails 31, 32 distincts dans lesquels la bride 80 est adaptée à coulisser.The mounting means 31, 32, provided on the hook 20 to facilitate the engagement of the flange 80 in the receiving housing 33, here comprise two separate rails 31, 32 in which the flange 80 is adapted to slide.

Ici, comme le montre la figure 4, chacun des deux rails 31, 32 est formé de deux crochets qui se font face de part et d'autre du logement d'accueil 33, de manière à former un guide pour la bride 80 de la boîte de dérivation 50.Here, as shown in figure 4 , each of the two rails 31, 32 is formed of two hooks which face each other on either side of the receiving housing 33, so as to form a guide for the flange 80 of the junction box 50.

Ces deux crochets présentent plus précisément chacun une forme de L, avec une première partie qui s'étend à partir de la face arrière de la paroi avant 21B de la platine 21, perpendiculairement à celle-ci, et une partie recourbée à angle droit en direction de l'autre crochet.These two hooks more precisely each have a shape of L, with a first portion extending from the rear face of the front wall 21B of the plate 21, perpendicularly thereto, and a portion bent at right angles to direction of the other hook.

La hauteur de ces crochets et la distance séparant les deux crochets de chaque rail correspondent respectivement à l'épaisseur et à la largeur de la bride 80.The height of these hooks and the distance separating the two hooks of each rail respectively correspond to the thickness and the width of the flange 80.

Par conséquent, la bride 80 de la boîte de dérivation 50 est adaptée à coulisser entre chacun de ces deux rails 31, 32 jusqu'à une position engagée dans le logement d'accueil 33 de la patère 20. Dans cette position, comme le montre la figure 3, les couronnes 54 bordant les ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 de la boîte de dérivation 50 sont engagées à l'intérieur des ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 de la patère 20.Therefore, the flange 80 of the junction box 50 is adapted to slide between each of these two rails 31, 32 to a position engaged in the receiving housing 33 of the hook 20. In this position, as shown the figure 3 , the rings 54 bordering the cable exit openings 51 of the junction box 50 are engaged within the cable entry openings 27 of the bracket 20.

Les moyens de blocage, prévus sur la patère 20 pour bloquer la bride 80 en position engagée dans le logement d'accueil 33, sont agencés pour bloquer le coulissement de la bride 80 dans les rails 31, 32. Ces moyens de blocage sont ici formés par deux bossages (non visibles sur les figures), qui s'étendent en saillie de la face arrière de la paroi avant 21B de la platine 21.The locking means, provided on the hook 20 to lock the flange 80 in the engaged position in the receiving housing 33, are arranged to block the sliding of the flange 80 in the rails 31, 32. These locking means are formed here by two bosses (not visible in the figures), which project from the rear face of the front wall 21B of the plate 21.

La bride 80 de la boîte de dérivation 50 comporte en correspondance deux ouvertures d'accueil 82 à l'intérieur desquelles les deux bossages de la platine 21 peuvent s'encliqueter (figure 8).The flange 80 of the junction box 50 comprises in correspondence two receiving openings 82 inside which the two bosses of the plate 21 can snap ( figure 8 ).

Grâce à ces moyens de blocage, la bride 80 de la boîte de dérivation 50 peut alors être parfaitement fixée à la patère 20 en position engagée.Thanks to these locking means, the flange 80 of the junction box 50 can then be perfectly fixed to the hook 20 in the engaged position.

Dans cette position, le boîtier creux 52 de la boîte de dérivation 50 recouvre alors les ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 prévues dans la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20, ce qui favorise l'étanchéité de la patère 20. Les deux couronnes 54 bordant les ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 de la boîte de dérivation 50 participent également à cette étanchéité.In this position, the hollow housing 52 of the junction box 50 then covers the cable entry openings 27 provided in the side wall 26 of the hook 20, which promotes the sealing of the hook 20. The two rings 54 bordering the cable outlet openings 51 of the junction box 50 also participate in this seal.

Il peut toutefois arriver que des gouttes d'eau s'infiltrent entre les ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 prévues dans la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20 et les couronnes 54 bordant les ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 de la boîte de dérivation 50.However, it may happen that drops of water seep between the cable entry openings 27 provided in the side wall 26 of the bracket 20 and the rings 54 bordering the cable outlet openings 51 of the junction box 50. .

Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 3, pour éviter que ces gouttes d'eau n'atteignent les parties électriques de la patère 20, il est alors prévu des moyens de recueil 28 de ces gouttes d'eau et des moyens d'évacuation 29 vers l'extérieur de l'eau ainsi recueillie.As shown more particularly in figure 3 to prevent these drops of water from reaching the electrical parts of the hook 20, it is then expected means 28 for collecting these drops of water and means of evacuation 29 to the outside of the water thus collected.

Les moyens de recueil sont ici formés par un réceptacle incurvé 28 qui s'étend à partir de la face avant de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21, à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par la paroi latérale 26, pour former une cuvette ouverte vers les deux ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27.The collection means are here formed by a curved receptacle 28 which extends from the front face of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21, inside the space defined by the side wall 26, to form a bowl open to the two cable entry openings 27.

Grâce à sa position, le réceptacle incurvé 28 est ainsi adapté à recueillir les éventuelles gouttes d'eau qui pourraient perler à l'intérieur de la patère 20 après s'être infiltrées entre les ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 prévues dans la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20 et les couronnes 54 bordant les ouvertures de sortie de câble 51 de la boîte de dérivation 50.Because of its position, the curved receptacle 28 is thus adapted to collect any drops of water that could bead inside the hook 20 after having infiltrated between the cable entry openings 27 provided in the side wall. 26 of the hook 20 and the rings 54 bordering the cable outlet openings 51 of the junction box 50.

Les moyens d'évacuation comportent quant à eux une ouverture 29 pratiquée dans la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21, qui communique avec le fond du réceptacle incurvé 28. Ici, cette ouverture 29 s'étend sur toute la hauteur et sur toute la longueur du réceptacle incurvé 28.The evacuation means comprise an opening 29 formed in the front wall 21 B of the plate 21, which communicates with the bottom of the curved receptacle 28. Here, this opening 29 extends over the entire height and over the entire length of the curved receptacle 28.

Cette ouverture 29 permet ainsi de rejeter l'eau recueillie dans le réceptacle incurvé 28 vers l'espace situé entre la paroi murale et la face arrière de la paroi avant 21 B de la platine 21.This opening 29 thus makes it possible to reject the water collected in the curved receptacle 28 towards the space situated between the wall wall and the rear face of the front wall 21 B of the plate 21.

Avantageusement, comme le montre la figure 3, la patère 20 comporte ici une partie de branchement 23 qui est située à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20.Advantageously, as shown in figure 3 , the peg 20 here comprises a branch portion 23 which is located inside the space delimited by the side wall 26 of the peg 20.

Cette partie de branchement 23 comporte ici cinq premières bornes de connexion électrique 34 dans lesquelles peuvent se brancher des conducteurs électriques tirés au travers des ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 de la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20. Elle comporte également cinq secondes bornes de connexion électrique 35, chacune raccordée électriquement avec l'une desdites premières bornes de connexion électrique 34, et dans lesquelles peuvent en particulier se brancher les broches du circuit électronique du bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10, pour notamment alimenter la source de lumière en courant.This connecting portion 23 here comprises five first electrical connection terminals 34 in which can be connected electrical conductors pulled through the cable entry openings 27 of the side wall 26 of the peg 20. It also comprises five second terminals of electrical connection 35, each electrically connected to one of said first electrical connection terminals 34, and in which the pins of the electronic circuit of the emergency lighting unit 10 can in particular be connected, in particular for supplying the light source with current .

Telle que représentée sur la figure 3, la partie de branchement 23 comporte en outre cinq leviers 37 accessibles à l'installateur, permettant de connecter ou de déconnecter à la demande les différents conducteurs électriques précités.As represented on the figure 3 , the branch portion 23 further comprises five levers 37 accessible to the installer, for connecting or disconnecting on demand the various electrical conductors mentioned above.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 et 4, ici, les bornes de connexion de la partie de branchement 23 de la patère 20 sont logées dans un boîtier qui est distinct de la platine 21, et qui est fixé par encliquetage dans une ouverture prévue en correspondance dans la platine, à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20.As can be seen on the Figures 3 and 4 here, the connection terminals of the branch portion 23 of the peg 20 are housed in a housing which is distinct from the plate 21, and which is snap-fastened in an aperture provided in correspondence in the plate, inside of the space delimited by the side wall 26 of the hook 20.

La platine 21, la paroi latérale 26 et le réceptacle incurvé 28 sont en revanche réalisés d'une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique isolante.The plate 21, the side wall 26 and the curved receptacle 28 are however made in one piece by molding an insulating plastic material.

L'installation du dispositif d'éclairage 1 sur une paroi latérale au cours d'un chantier de rénovation est réalisée en différentes opérations successives représentées sur les figures 5 à 7.The installation of the lighting device 1 on a side wall during a renovation project is carried out in different successive operations represented on the Figures 5 to 7 .

Comme le montre la figure 5, au cours d'une première étape, le socle arrière 60 de la boîte de dérivation 50 est fixé par sa bride 80 à la patère 20.As shown in figure 5 during a first step, the rear base 60 of the junction box 50 is fixed by its flange 80 to the hook 20.

La bride 80 est à cet effet amenée en position engagée dans le logement d'accueil 33 de la patère 20, en coulissant entre les rails 31, 32. Elle est ensuite bloquée en position engagée à l'aide des deux bossages de la platine 21 qui s'encliquette à l'intérieur des ouvertures d'accueil 82 de la bride 80.The flange 80 is for this purpose brought into position engaged in the receiving housing 33 of the hook 20, sliding between the rails 31, 32. It is then locked in the engaged position using the two bosses of the plate 21 which snaps inside the receiving openings 82 of the flange 80.

Cet ensemble est alors fixé sur la paroi latérale à l'aide d'au moins deux vis de fixation engagées au travers des ouvertures allongées 24 prévues dans la platine 21 et vissées dans les trous de perçage préalablement percés dans la paroi murale.This assembly is then fixed on the side wall by means of at least two fastening screws engaged through the elongate openings 24 provided in the plate 21 and screwed into the drill holes previously drilled in the wall wall.

L'extrémité libre de l'une au moins des trois goulottes tubulaires 91, 92, 93 représentées sur les figures 5 à 7 est alors engagée dans l'ouverture d'entrée de câble 53, 55 correspondante du socle arrière 60 de la boîte de dérivation 50.The free end of at least one of the three tubular troughs 91, 92, 93 shown on the Figures 5 to 7 is then engaged in the corresponding cable entry opening 53, 55 of the rear base 60 of the junction box 50.

Pour assurer un maintien rigide de cette goulotte tubulaire 91, 92, 93 dans l'ouverture d'entrée de câble 53, 55 correspondante, la goulotte tubulaire 91, 92, 93 présente ici, à proximité de son extrémité libre, deux nervures disposées de manière diamétralement opposée, en saillie de sa face extérieure.To ensure a rigid retention of this tubular chute 91, 92, 93 in the corresponding cable entry opening 53, 55, the tubular chute 91, 92, 93 has here, near its free end, two ribs disposed of diametrically opposite way, projecting from its outer face.

Comme le montre la figure 3, le boîtier 52 comporte en correspondance des encoches intérieures 57 situées à proximité de chacune des trois ouvertures d'entrée de câble 53, 55, dans lesquelles viennent se loger les nervures des goulottes tubulaires 91, 92, 93. Ces encoches intérieures 57 permettent ainsi d'éviter que la goulotte tubulaire 91, 92, 93 puisse être arrachée de la boîte de dérivation 50.As shown in figure 3 , the housing 52 has in correspondence internal notches 57 located near each of the three cable entry openings 53, 55, in which are housed the ribs of the tubular troughs 91, 92, 93. These internal notches 57 and allow to avoid that the tubular chute 91, 92, 93 can be torn from the junction box 50.

Les extrémités des conducteurs électriques tirés dans la goulotte tubulaire 91, 92, 93 sont alors engagées au travers des ouvertures d'entrée de câble 27 de la patère 20 pour faire saillie à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par la paroi latérale 26. Elles sont ensuite dénudées puis branchées dans les premières bornes de connexion électrique 34 de la patère 20.The ends of the electrical conductors pulled into the tubular chute 91, 92, 93 are then engaged through the cable entry openings 27 of the hook 20 to project inside the space defined by the side wall 26. They are then stripped and then connected to the first electrical connection terminals 34 of the hook 20.

Comme le montre la figure 6, le capot avant 70 est ensuite rapporté sur le socle arrière 60 de la boîte de dérivation 50, puis encliqueté sur celui-ci pour isoler le logement cylindrique 56 de l'extérieur. Cet encliquetage permet en outre de bloquer les extrémités libres des goulottes tubulaires 91, 92, 93 dans les ouvertures d'entrée de câble 53, 55 de la boîte de dérivation 50.As shown in figure 6 , the front cover 70 is then attached to the rear base 60 of the junction box 50, then latched thereon to isolate the cylindrical housing 56 from the outside. This snapping also makes it possible to block the free ends of the tubular ducts 91, 92, 93 in the cable entry openings 53, 55 of the junction box 50.

Le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 est ensuite approché de la patère 20, de telle sorte que les broches qui font saillie à l'intérieur de sa cavité 11 et qui sont raccordées à son circuit électronique pour alimenter la source de lumière, puissent se brancher dans les secondes bornes de connexion électrique 35 de la patère 20.The safety lighting unit 10 is then approached from the hook 20, so that the pins which project inside its cavity 11 and which are connected to its electronic circuit for supplying the light source, can be connect to the second electrical connection terminals 35 of the hook 20.

Le bloc d'éclairage de sécurité 10 est enfin engagé par sa cavité 11 sur la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20, puis est verrouillé sur celle-ci à l'aide des languettes amovibles non représentées.The safety lighting unit 10 is finally engaged by its cavity 11 on the side wall 26 of the peg 20, and is locked thereon by means of the not shown removable tabs.

Ainsi, comme le montre la figure 7, le dispositif d'éclairage 1 est parfaitement assemblé et fixé à la paroi murale.So, as shown in figure 7 , the lighting device 1 is perfectly assembled and fixed to the wall wall.

La présente invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, mais l'homme du métier saura y apporter toute variante conforme à son esprit.The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown, but the art can apply any variant within his mind.

En particulier, on pourrait prévoir que la partie de fixation 21, la partie de support 22 ou la paroi latérale 26 de la patère 20 présentent des formes différentes de celles représentées sur les figures.In particular, it could be provided that the fastening portion 21, the support portion 22 or the side wall 26 of the peg 20 have different shapes from those shown in the figures.

On pourrait également prévoir que la paroi latérale 26 de la patère ou que le boîtier 52 de la boîte de dérivation 50 présentent un nombre réduit ou accru d'ouvertures de sortie ou d'entrée de câble.It could also be provided that the sidewall 26 of the peg or the housing 52 of the junction box 50 have a reduced or increased number of cable exit or entry openings.

On pourra aussi prévoir que la patère soit dépourvue de partie de branchement, auquel cas la connexion des différents conducteurs électriques pourra être réalisée à l'aide de dominos.It can also be provided that the hook is devoid of branch part, in which case the connection of the various electrical conductors can be carried out using dominoes.
