Description
Perfectionnement à une porte, permettant de faciliter le repérage de celle-ci Improvement to a door, making it easier to locate it
L'invention se rapporte à une porte et concerne plus particulièrement l'amélioration de la localisation de celle-ci en facilitant son repérage, notamment au niveau de la poignée, de jour ou dans l'obscurité.The invention relates to a door and relates more particularly to the improvement of the location thereof by facilitating its identification, particularly at the handle, day or in the dark.
L'invention s'applique particulièrement au domaine hospitalier ou à une chambre médicalisée, par exemple équipée pour héberger une personne handicapée souffrant de déficience visuelle ou de la maladie d'Alzheimer.The invention is particularly applicable to the hospital field or to a medical room, for example equipped to house a disabled person suffering from visual impairment or Alzheimer's disease.
Elle concerne aussi avantageusement un perfectionnement utilisant les moyens de signalisation, et permettant en outre de désinfecter en permanence la poignée. Dans une chambre d'hôpital ou un lieu de vie d'une personne handicapée, notamment affecté de sénilité (maladie d'Alzheimer) ou de troubles de la vision, une porte (conduisant vers la sortie, vers les toilettes ou vers une salle de bain) est un élément qui devient un repère essentiel. Il importe donc d'en favoriser la localisation en toutes circonstances. L'invention permet de focaliser l'attention sur la poignée de cette porte en accentuant sa visibilité, de jour comme de nuit.It also advantageously relates to an improvement using the signaling means, and furthermore to continuously disinfect the handle. In a hospital room or a living space of a person with a disability, including senility (Alzheimer's disease) or vision problems, a door (leading to the exit, to the toilets or to a bathroom) bath) is an element that becomes an essential benchmark. It is therefore important to promote localization in all circumstances. The invention makes it possible to focus the attention on the handle of this door by accentuating its visibility, day and night.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne une porte comprenant un chambranle et un battant articulé audit chambranle et muni d'une poignée, caractérisée en ce que ladite poignée est éclairée par au moins une source lumineuse spécifique placée au voisinage de celle-ci au moins en position de fermeture dudit battant.More particularly, the invention relates to a door comprising a doorframe and a door hinged to said doorframe and provided with a handle, characterized in that said handle is illuminated by at least one specific light source placed in the vicinity of the latter at least by closing position of said leaf.
Ladite source lumineuse spécifique peut comprendre au moins une simple lampe d'éclairage émettant dans le spectre de la lumière visible. Dans ce cas, cette lampe illumine la poignée. De jour, elle augmente le contraste entre la poignée et la porte, de nuit, elle met en évidence la poignée elle-même.Said specific light source may comprise at least one simple lighting lamp emitting in the spectrum of visible light. In this case, this lamp illuminates the handle. By day, it increases the contrast between the handle and the door, at night, it highlights the handle itself.
Avantageusement, la matière de la poignée est choisie pour accentuer sa visibilité. On peut prévoir par exemple une poignée en matériau transparent ou translucide et/ou comportant des zones réfléchissantes. On peut aussi obtenir ou combiner la conduction et/ou la
réflexion de la lumière par la poignée elle-même, par exemple en y prévoyant d'y agencer des prismes réfléchissants.Advantageously, the material of the handle is chosen to enhance its visibility. For example, a handle made of transparent or translucent material and / or with reflecting zones can be provided. It is also possible to obtain or combine conduction and / or reflection of light by the handle itself, for example by providing for the arrangement of reflective prisms.
Une ou plusieurs sources lumineuses miniaturisées telles que des diodes électroluminescentes dites LED peuvent avantageusement être utilisées. Elles peuvent être intégrées soit dans la poignée, ou à proximité immédiate dans la porte et/ou le chambranle.One or more miniaturized light sources such as light-emitting diodes called LED can advantageously be used. They can be integrated either in the handle, or in the immediate vicinity in the door and / or the jamb.
Par exemple, la source lumineuse spécifique peut être montée sur le battant de la porte en regard de la poignée.For example, the specific light source can be mounted on the leaf of the door opposite the handle.
Selon une autre possibilité, ladite source lumineuse spécifique peut être installée sur le chambranle de ladite porte, en regard de ladite poignée lorsque le battant est fermé.According to another possibility, said specific light source can be installed on the doorframe of said door, opposite said handle when the door is closed.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la source lumineuse spécifique peut être logée dans l'épaisseur du battant en étant optiquement couplée à ladite poignée en matériau transparent. Ainsi, la poignée transparente, par exemple en méthacrylate, guide la lumière. Sa diffusion le long de la poignée peut être améliorée en prévoyant des formes prismatiques le long et à la surface de celle-ci de façon à réfléchir la lumière dans toutes les directions.According to an advantageous characteristic, the specific light source can be housed in the thickness of the leaf being optically coupled to said handle made of transparent material. Thus, the transparent handle, for example in methacrylate, guides the light. Its diffusion along the handle can be improved by providing prismatic shapes along and on the surface of the handle so as to reflect light in all directions.
Selon une autre possibilité, la source lumineuse spécifique est ou comporte une source de rayonnement ultraviolet tandis qu'au moins une zone photoluminescente à la longueur d'onde de ladite source est agencée sur ladite poignée.According to another possibility, the specific light source is or comprises a source of ultraviolet radiation while at least one photoluminescent zone at the wavelength of said source is arranged on said handle.
Dans ce cas, la poignée est visible même dans l'obscurité. Par exemple le matériau ou le revêtement de la poignée (ou certaines marques rapportées sur celle-ci) peut être de couleur blanche, réagissant à un rayonnement ultraviolet. La surface de la poignée peut aussi être texturée pour augmenter le contraste entre la poignée et la porte de façon à obtenir le maximum d'effet photoluminescent, de nuit.In this case, the handle is visible even in the dark. For example, the material or coating of the handle (or some marks on it) may be white, reacting to ultraviolet radiation. The surface of the handle can also be textured to increase the contrast between the handle and the door so as to obtain the maximum photoluminescent effect at night.
Dans tous les cas, la couleur de la porte ou celle d'une contre- plaque montée sur la porte en regard de la poignée peut être choisie pour augmenter Ie contraste entre la poignée et son fond. Dans le cas d'une contre-plaque, la forme, les dimensions et même la matière de celle-ci sont choisies pour optimiser ce contraste.In any case, the color of the door or that of a counter plate mounted on the door facing the handle may be chosen to increase the contrast between the handle and its bottom. In the case of a counter-plate, the shape, the dimensions and even the material thereof are chosen to optimize this contrast.
Enfin, dans le cas d'un "éclairage" par ultraviolet, la source de rayonnement ultraviolet peut être d'une puissance suffisante pour exercer une action bactéricide sur la poignée.
En effet, les poignées de porte sont l'un des principaux vecteurs de propagation des maladies nosocomiales. Dans le cas d'une signalisation de nuit, du type mentionné ci-dessus (qui peut se combiner avec une signalisation de jour) il suffit d'adapter la puissance du rayonnement ultraviolet pour obtenir une désinfection permanente de la poignée.Finally, in the case of "lighting" by ultraviolet, the ultraviolet radiation source may be of sufficient power to exert a bactericidal action on the handle. Indeed, the door handles are one of the main vectors of propagation of nosocomial diseases. In the case of night signaling, of the type mentioned above (which can be combined with a day signal) it is sufficient to adapt the power of the ultraviolet radiation to obtain a permanent disinfection of the handle.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle- ci apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : - la figure 1 illustre une porte équipée du perfectionnement selon l'invention ;The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will emerge more clearly in the light of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which: FIG. a door equipped with the improvement according to the invention;
- la figure 2 illustre une première variante ;FIG. 2 illustrates a first variant;
- la figure 3 est une vue de détail illustrant une seconde variante ; - la figure 4 est une vue de détail illustrant une troisième variante ; et- Figure 3 is a detail view illustrating a second variant; - Figure 4 is a detail view illustrating a third variant; and
- la figure 5 est une vue de détail illustrant une quatrième variante.- Figure 5 is a detail view illustrating a fourth variant.
La figure 1 représente la porte 11 d'un local tel que par exemple une chambre. Cette porte comporte classiquement un chambranle 12 et un battant 13 articulé au chambranle. Le battant est muni d'une poignée 14.Figure 1 shows the door 11 of a room such as for example a room. This door conventionally comprises a doorframe 12 and a door 13 hinged to the doorframe. The leaf is provided with a handle 14.
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, la poignée 14 est éclairée par une source lumineuse spécifique 16 placée au voisinage de celle-ci. Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, la source lumineuse 16 est montée sur le battant 13 et son faisceau lumineux éclaire la poignée.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the handle 14 is illuminated by a specific light source 16 placed in the vicinity of the latter. In the example of Figure 1, the light source 16 is mounted on the leaf 13 and its light beam illuminates the handle.
De plus, le battant comporte une contre-plaque 18 de couleur relativement sombre, placée en regard de la poignée. On augmente ainsi le contraste entre la poignée et son fond visuel. Selon l'exemple, la source lumineuse 16 est une lampe classique émettant dans le spectre de la lumière visible. La source peut être constituée d'une ou plusieurs diodes électroluminescentes.In addition, the leaf comprises a counterplate 18 of relatively dark color, placed opposite the handle. This increases the contrast between the handle and its visual background. According to the example, the light source 16 is a conventional lamp emitting in the spectrum of visible light. The source may consist of one or more light-emitting diodes.
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 2, la source lumineuseIn the embodiment of FIG. 2, the light source
26 est installée sur le chambranle 12 de la porte ou sur le champ de la cloison adjacente, à proximité de la poignée 14a dans la position de fermeture de la porte. La poignée est texturée avec de légers reliefs pour
augmenter le contraste, par réflexion de la lumière dans de multiples directions.26 is installed on the door jamb 12 or on the field of the adjacent partition, near the handle 14a in the closed position of the door. The handle is textured with slight reliefs for increase the contrast, by reflection of light in multiple directions.
Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, la poignée 14b est en matériau transparent ou au moins translucide et pourvue, sur au moins une de ses faces, de facettes prismatiques 28. En outre, la source lumineuse 36 (constituée d'une ou plusieurs lampes miniatures comme par exemple des diodes électroluminescentes) est logée dans l'épaisseur du battant et optiquement couplée à la poignée. Ainsi, la lumière émise se propage dans le corps de la poignée formant guide de lumière. Les facettes prismatiques 28 permettent de diffuser la lumière dans toutes les directions et d'augmenter le contraste de la poignée par rapport au fond constitué par le battant 13.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the handle 14b is made of transparent or at least translucent material and provided, on at least one of its faces, with prismatic facets 28. In addition, the light source 36 (consisting of one or several miniature lamps such as light-emitting diodes) is housed in the thickness of the leaf and optically coupled to the handle. Thus, the emitted light propagates in the body of the light guide handle. The prismatic facets 28 make it possible to diffuse the light in all directions and to increase the contrast of the handle with respect to the bottom constituted by the leaf 13.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 4, la source lumineuse 46 est fixée sur le chambranle 12 à la hauteur de la poignée 14c et comporte deux lampes dirigées vers celle-ci. Eventuellement, l'une des lampes peut émettre dans le domaine de la lumière visible, et l'autre dans le domaine des ultraviolets. La lampe émettant dans le domaine de la lumière visible éclaire la poignée de jour et l'autre lampe émettant dans le domaine des ultraviolets "éclaire" la poignée pendant la nuit. Avantageusement, le corps de la poignée peut être de couleur blanche. Il ressort ainsi par rapport à la contre-plaque 18 de couleur plus foncée, pendant la journée. La poignée peut comporter aussi des petites surfaces réfléchissantes 48, ici sous forme de points. La nuit, la poignée blanche devient photoluminescente sous l'effet du rayonnement ultraviolet. Dans l'exemple de la figure 5, la source lumineuse spécifique 56 est montée sur le battant 13 de la porte et comporte des lampes émettant dans le domaine de Ia lumière visible et/ou dans le domaine des ultraviolets. Ces lampes sont dirigées sur une poignée 14d en matériau transparent dont la face avant est munie de facettes prismatiques 28. Certaines faces de la poignée peuvent être garnies d'un revêtement blanc assurant la visibilité de nuit, sous l'action du rayonnement ultraviolet.In the example of Figure 4, the light source 46 is fixed on the frame 12 at the height of the handle 14c and has two lamps directed towards it. Optionally, one of the lamps can emit in the field of visible light, and the other in the field of ultraviolet. The lamp emitting in the field of visible light illuminates the day handle and the other lamp emitting in the ultraviolet range "illuminates" the handle during the night. Advantageously, the body of the handle may be white. It thus stands out against the counter plate 18 of darker color, during the day. The handle may also include small reflective surfaces 48, here in the form of dots. At night, the white handle becomes photoluminescent under the effect of ultraviolet radiation. In the example of FIG. 5, the specific light source 56 is mounted on the door 13 of the door and comprises lamps emitting in the visible light and / or in the ultraviolet range. These lamps are directed on a handle 14d of transparent material whose front face is provided with prismatic facets 28. Some faces of the handle can be lined with a white coating ensuring visibility at night, under the action of ultraviolet radiation.
Les dispositifs qui viennent d'être décrits peuvent être équipés uniquement de lampes à ultraviolet pour une utilisation exclusivement en vieille nocturne. Dans les exemples des figures 1, 2, 4 et 5 et sous rayonnement ultraviolet, il est possible de prévoir au moins une lampe lumineuse dans
le domaine des ultraviolets de puissance suffisante pour tuer certains microorganismes présent sur la poignée. Ainsi, une simple adaptation de puissance du rayonnement ultraviolet permet de lutter efficacement et en permanence contre la propagation des maladies nosocomiales.
The devices that have just been described can be equipped only with ultraviolet lamps for use exclusively in old night. In the examples of FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5 and under ultraviolet radiation, it is possible to provide at least one luminous lamp in the field of ultraviolet light of sufficient power to kill certain microorganisms present on the handle. Thus, a simple power adaptation of the ultraviolet radiation can fight effectively and permanently against the spread of nosocomial diseases.
